Religion in Human Evolution : From the Paleolithic to the Axial Age
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 1 business day
Religion in Human Evolution is a work of extraordinary ambition--a wide-ranging, nuanced probing of our biological past to discover the kinds of lives that human beings have most often imagined were worth living. It offers what is frequently seen as a forbidden theory of the origin of religion that goes deep into evolution, especially but not exclusively cultural evolution. How did our early ancestors transcend the quotidian demands of everyday existence to embrace an alternative reality that called into question the very meaning of their daily struggle? Robert Bellah, one of the leading sociologists of our time, identifies a range of cultural capacities, such as communal dancing, storytelling, and theorizing, whose emergence made this religious development possible. Deploying the latest findings in biology, cognitive science, and evolutionary psychology, he traces the expansion of these cultural capacities from the Paleolithic to the Axial Age (roughly, the first millennium BCE), when individuals and groups in the Old World challenged the norms and beliefs of class societies ruled by kings and aristocracies. These religious prophets and renouncers never succeeded in founding their alternative utopias, but they left a heritage of criticism that would not be quenched. Bellah's treatment of the four great civilizations of the Axial Age--in ancient Israel, Greece, China, and India--shows all existing religions, both prophetic and mystic, to be rooted in the evolutionary story he tells. Religion in Human Evolution answers the call for a critical history of religion grounded in the full range of human constraints and possibilities.show more

Review quote
In this magisterial effort, eminent sociologist of religion Bellah attempts nothing less than to show the ways that the evolution of certain capacities among humans provided the foundation for religion...[Readers] will be rewarded with a wealth of sparkling insights into the history of religion. Publishers Weekly 20110808 Bellah's book is an interesting departure from the traditional separation of science and religion. He maintains that the evolving worldviews sought to unify rather than to divide people. Poignantly, it is upon these principles that both Western and Eastern modern societies are now based. What strikes the reader most powerfully is how the author connects cultural development and religion in an evolutionary context. He suggests that cultural evolution can be seen in mimetic, mythical, and theoretical contexts. -- Brian Renvall Library Journal 20110801 Religion in Human Evolution is not like so many other "science and religion" books, which tend to explain away belief as a smudge on a brain scan or an accident of early hominid social organization. It is, instead, a bold attempt to understand religion as part of the biggest big picture--life, the universe, and everything...One need not believe in intelligent design to look for embryonic traces of human behavior on the lower rungs of the evolutionary ladder. [Bellah's] attempt to do just that, with the help of recent research in zoology and anthropology, results in a menagerie of case studies that provide the book's real innovation. Not only the chimps and monkeys evoked by the word "evolution" in the title, but wolves and birds and iguanas all pass through these pages. Within such a sundry cast, Bellah searches for a commonality that may give some indication of where and when the uniquely human activity of religion was born. What he finds is as intriguing as it is unexpected...Bellah is less concerned with whether religion is right or wrong, good or bad, perfume or mustard gas, than with understanding what it is and where it comes from, and in following the path toward that understanding, wherever it may lead...In a perfect world, the endless curiosity on display throughout Religion in Human Evolution would set the tone for all discussions of religion in the public square. -- Peter Manseau Bookforum 20110901 Religion in Human Evolution is not like so many other "science and religion" books, which tend to explain away belief as a smudge on a brain scan or an accident of early hominid social organization. It is, instead, a bold attempt to understand religion as part of the biggest big picture--life, the universe, and everything...One need not believe in intelligent design to look for embryonic traces of human behavior on the lower rungs of the evolutionary ladder. [Bellah's] attempt to do just that, with the help of recent research in zoology and anthropology, results in a menagerie of case studies that provide the book's real innovation. Not only the chimps and monkeys evoked by the word "evolution" in the title, but wolves and birds and iguanas all pass through these pages. Within such a sundry cast, Bellah searches for a commonality that may give some indication of where and when the uniquely human activity of religion was born. What he finds is as intriguing as it is unexpected...Bellah is less concerned with whether religion is right or wrong, good or bad, perfume or mustard gas, than with understanding what it is and where it comes from, and in following the path toward that understanding, wherever it may lead...In a perfect world, the endless curiosity on display throughout Religion in Human Evolution would set the tone for all discussions of religion in the public square. -- Peter Manseau Bookforum 20110901 Ever since Darwin, the theory of evolution has been considered the deadly enemy of religious belief; the creation of Adam and Eve and the process of natural selection simply do not go together. In Religion in Human Evolution: From the Paleolithic to the Axial Age, the sociologist Robert Bellah offers a new, unexpected way of reconciling these opposites, using evolutionary psychology to argue that the invention of religious belief played a crucial role in the development of modern human beings. Barnes and Noble Review 20110914 Of Bellah's brilliance there can be no doubt. The sheer amount this man knows about religion is otherworldly... Bellah stands in the tradition of such stalwarts of the sociological imagination as Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. Only one word is appropriate to characterize this book's subject as well as its substance, and that is "magisterial." -- Alan Wolfe New York Times Book Review 20111002 An audacious project...Religion in Human Evolution is no simple effort to "reconcile" religious belief with scientific understanding, but something far more interesting and ambitious. It seeks to take both religion and evolution seriously on their own terms, and to locate us within the stories they tell about the human condition in a way informed by the best emerging research on both terrains...The result is a grand narrative written in full understanding of the failures and limitations of recent grand narratives. Religion in Human Evolution is a magnum opus founded on careful research and immersed in the "reflective judgment" of one of our best thinkers and writers...This is a big book, full of big ideas that demand sustained attention and disciplined thought. But in my view it repays a reader's effort in full...For over half a century, Robert N. Bellah has set his extraordinary mind out on the frontiers of human knowledge and has written back to make that knowledge accessible to the educated reader. This remarkable book finds him nearing the close of a long and fruitful life, and generously giving it back to us in love. -- Richard L. Wood Commonweal 20111021 Religion in Human Evolution is a near-exhaustive examination of the biological and cultural origins of religion...Bellah gleefully plunges into the past, from the Big Bang to the first millennium B.C. in Israel, Greece, China, and India. For him, cosmology, cosmogony, mythology, ontogeny, and phylogeny all belong in the same chapter, or in some cases, the same paragraph, right alongside Hegel, Dawkins, and an astounding array of writers, scientists, sociologists, and philosophers. Although the tome stops short in the first millennium (leaving the last few thousand years for other scholars, or a future volume), its overall narrative does not feel incomplete. Expect to spend a long time reading this book--and expect to see the world differently when you finish. -- Benjamin Soloway The Daily 20110918 One might best see this work as an attempt to do for the 21st century what the great sociologist of religion Max Weber did for the 20th in treating Judaism, China and India. -- Pheme Perkins America 20111017 You can't accuse Robert Bellah of thinking small. The University of California, Berkeley, sociologist set out to cover "from the Palaeolithic to the Axial Age" and he does. (The Axial Age ran from about 800 BC to 200 BC when the first major religions got going.) The result is a deeply thoughtful discussion of how evolution and religion went hand in hand, each influencing the other, from humanity's earliest days. It's like a chat with a great thinker who takes one engaging tangent after another. -- Leigh Dayton The Australian 20111126 Religion in Human Evolution is an immensely ambitious book on a topic only a scholar of Robert Bellah's stature could dare to tackle. It attempts no less than to explain human biological as well as cultural evolution in one sweep, beginning with early hominids and ending with the "axial age." Bellah engages evolutionary biology as well as cognitive psychology for the framing of his argument. This is a courageous move of transcending conventional disciplinary boundaries, for which he should be applauded...With Religion in Human Evolution Robert Bellah has given us a marvelous book written with the wisdom of age as well as youthful enthusiasm. Having discovered the importance of play in human evolution rather late in the writing process, Bellah nevertheless must have internalized it much earlier. All these rich chapters on ancient Israel, Greece, China, and India convey a certain playfulness and intellectual joy, which carry his narrative often beyond the needs of his argument, but stimulate and enrich the reader immensely. -- Martin Riesebrodt The Immanent Frame 20111205 This book could really be regarded as Robert Bellah's "State of the Species" address, after a life of scholarship and reflection. It is about everything: the nature of knowledge and meaning, and the history of our deepest yearnings and practices, as expressed in our religions. Posterity will decide whether he has succeeded, but the effort is magnificent in its own right. We all speak of doing difficult, disciplined, interdisciplinary thinking. Well, folks, this is what it looks like, down on the ground. -- Merlin Donald The Immanent Frame 20111205 Robert Bellah's magnum opus does far more than just satisfy. It provides a transformative and thrillingly interdisciplinary account of the evolution of religion itself...So expert and simultaneously readable is Religion in Human Evolution--a model of academic writing--that it effectively banishes the paltry efforts of Daniel Dennett and Pascal Boyer and Robert Wright. -- Scott Stephens Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Religion and Ethics blog 20120210 The new magnum opus of a great contemporary sociologist...Bellah is one of those rare social scientists who not only studies the origins of our religions but who also participates in an active Christian congregation in his University of California neighborhood. Because he appropriates so wide a range of contemporary evolutionary sciences, in the 600 pages of this book a reader is likely to experience a great depth of gratitude for our debts as humans to our ancient lineages--to all the beings who are responsible for the explosion of our fellow species on our earth...If we read this book, adherents of every modern religion--especially Jews, Christians, and Muslims--will find vast new reasons for gratitude for our ancestors human and extra-human. We meet in these pages eloquent summaries of how the evolution of the human mind may be the greatest mystery of all. -- Donald Shriver Tikkun 20120430 Insightful and magisterial, it is the crowning achievement of a brilliant scholar who is sympathetic to religion and deeply attuned to the problems of modernity...[Bellah] draws on scientific explanations and historical facts to present and support a new multistranded theory of religion, one that places the human pursuit of meaning squarely in the context of our social history, which in turn rests in the context of our biological and cosmological evolution. -- Linda Heuman Tricycle 20120601 Religion in Human Evolution is an immense work; it would merit description as the achievement of a lifetime, were it not actually Bellah's second such achievement...What does it amount to? Quite a lot, actually: effectively, a history of the world up to about 2,000 years ago. The book has a James Michener-esque scope, proceeding effectively from the Big Bang forward. The only comparisons I can come up with are Hegel's magisterial but fragmentary notes for his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religions, or Weber's monumental works on the Sociology of World Religions (which got through China and India and ancient Israel, but no further). Bellah is definitely playing major league sociology...Both in the scale of its ambition, and in the degree to which that ambition is realized, this is a book that will outlast its critics...Each moment in his account invites further reflection, deeper immersion in the realities under study, a richer, more empathetic comprehension of what it is like to be these people. For all these reasons, I hope that future work in evolutionary theory and religion will learn from Bellah's example. -- Charles Mathewes American Interest 20120701show more

Has anyone seen Avatar yet?
Wanna find out if it's worth the fifteen bucks
Don't know if I can stand that much CGI, the last three Star Wars made me sick. Well, to be honest I don't know if it was the CGI that made me sick or seeing that gay robot again. This Avatar doesn't have a gay robot in it does it?

It was out less than two weeks and I'd seen it 3 times.
I hope that answers your question.
You must see it in 3-D on a big-ass Imax screen if at all possible. If Imax isn't available, regular 3-D will do. But you really need to see this one in 3-D.
I don't think Cameron will disappoint you.

Definately worth seeing...
Absolutely gorgeous visuals, 3D that feels like a natural part of the film rather then a gimmick, solid performances (both the regular performers and the mo-capped people), solid action scenes, a plot that might not be the most original ever but still works, etc. Definately the best spectacle film of the year, if not quite the best overall film (that still goes to Inglorious Basterds, and Up in the Air is a solid film as well).

James Cameron doesn't do gay
I don't think there is a single gay reference in any of his movies. I liked Avatar - it's about 40% live action & 60% CGI - after awhile a suspension of disbelief sets in & you are taken away to another world. The last 45 minutes is one long battle scene. Unlike alot of other movies this one must be seen & on the big screen.

Avatar review.
Avatar stunk to high-hell. If it weren't for Cameron's Abyss, Aliens and T2, this movie would be derided, lampooned and called out for the pile of festering caramelized feculent slime that it is.
This movie is rife with terrible acting, horrific dialogue, and its 'message' is delivered through constant abuse of moral hazards. We have moral relativism, betrayal and treason being perpetrated for the greater good. The greater good of course being subjective so a movie like this promulgates the idea that all crimes against any state or authoritative entity are justifiable.
This was a 3D wrapped celluloid that without the stunning (yet stupid looking, e.g., blue-cat-deer-women with human breats) visuals would, especially in novel form, be a bloody laughing stock.
The aliens stunk horribly. What's with the talking bi-peds with two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Has it ever occurred to these so called "creative" people that new life might be a colony of nano-bots, a slime mold with group intelligence, life that aspirates with copper based blood, non-DNA self replicating life forms? Why is everything a blue monkey with breasts? At least in 1969 when Star Trek was populated with "old-form" Klingons that looked like a bronzed human they were on a near-zero budget, but at least they were totally re-defining sci-fi and giving a window into the future. Also of note in this mediocrity contests, gravity on Pandora is for everything but the floating rocks? The physics, weaponry, strategy of the military and the plausibility of the whole thing is beyond fantasy, its moronic and so implausible that its distracting and ridiculous. No, this isn't Blade Runner, Terminator, BSG, Star Trek. This is like getting crystal-skull-raped.
Crap like Avatar, especially after T2, Star Trek, Star Wars (Ep 4,5 only), is shocking. Its showing that Cameron is a master of marketing mass subscribed explosion fests laced with politically motivated parables and drivel and sub-themed with nothing intellectual because there is nothing beyond the visual veneer, it is fundamentally puerile trash that's been hussied up to look like way more than it actually is. It is trash which is the opiates of the McDonald's eating masses.
Anyone who defends this movie is simply a below average or nearly average mind that can't see past visuals that are no more complex of a stimulus than a piece of string is as a cat toy. They are incapable of rational or critical thought and are very likely a wage slave heavily in debt working towards no particular end, lost in life, and movies like this are a form of escapism where they "want to believe" and become immersed in something because their own lives are basically mundane, insignificant and unimportant.
Moral hazards. Identity politics. Thinly veiled political positions. Preaching to the customer/consumer/viewer. Moral relativism. Severe lack of plot, dialogue and finally acting capability.
This is a turning point for the world. It is showing how things that stimulate basal sensory centers in the simplistic human mind lead the herd into mindless oblivion.
The Navi are flawless, they have no strata in their society or any inter-tribal strife. The bad guys here are 100% bad, and have no capacity for rational thinking or empathy, except scientists in white coats, they have all the wisdom, empathy and intelligence and are always right. The characters were utterly simplistic, like toys and images made for pre-verbal children. Its like having tele-tubbies broadcast in massively expensive exquisite 3D where every frame is lovingly crafted to present to you some of the flattest, most uninspiring characters ever created.
This movie is clearly well below average, if you liked it you are the reason Hollywood is cranking out garbage these days. This man spent 10 times what District 9 costs and made a movie far worse, (not that District9 was any benchmark or the cat's meow), and this huge budget could have given 10 directors a shot at making something good. No wonder Linda Hamilton divorced this drunken train wreck of a truck driver idiot Cameron.
This block-bustering famous director / famous actor garbage has to stop.

So this is your "everyone who disagrees with me sucks" movie?
First off, I've gotten kinda tired of the whole "people who like (mainstream Hollywood hit) are so much dumber then people like me who like (relatively obscure indie/foreign film)" argument - what's wrong with liking both for what they are?
Also, it's fine to have whatever opinion you have about a film, but what gives you the right to bash people to that extent just because they got something out of a film which you didn't? People liking an expensive special effects blockbuster is hardly a "turning point for the world" - the 00s were full of expensive special effects blockbusters which made gobs of money (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, Pirates of the Carribbean, Iron Man, Transformers, etc) - can you honestly say that Avatar is worse then every film in those franchises which had highly visual appeal?
PS - What's your beef with District 9? I'm not sure if it's better, worse, or about the same as Avatar in my mind, but it's definately a more raw, complex version of Avatar's basic story...

Avatar was sold out, and so were the next two movies I would have chosen to see. I was stuck with Nine, and I have to say it was thoroughly underwhelming. How can a musical get away with a bland, forgettable score? Ok, before someone jumps on me about it, two songs were somewhat memorable, but that may have had more to do with who was singing them than the songs themselves. And someone needs to tell Daniel Day Lewis he can't sing.

Well. Time to move out of your parent's basement, mick. Your palpable self-loathing has obviously ruined not only your Star Wars t-shirts, but also your sense of fun, pleasure, and reality in general.
"stunk to high-hell"? "pile of festering caramelized feculent slime"??
Look. If and when you get that GED, run to Hollywood and straighten all the "block-bustering famous director / famous actor garbage" out for us "below average or nearly average minds," wont you?
We'll all be eternally grateful.
And while you're there, find a good plastic surgeon and have that short bus pulled out of your ass; you'll feel better.

Avatar, idiocracy
McDonald's sells the most hamburgers but they are crap. Yet with your logic, and the logic of the Avatard or Avatar fan, you celebrate crap because its popular. You don't care that the hamburger is responsible for deforestation using slash and burn farming (rather than sustainable rotation), you don't care the ingredients are unsuitable for human consumption. You like the taste and the price. You are a feral prole seeking self pleasure. You want your BREAD and CIRCUS. Doesn't matter if its good, bad, moral, amoral, toxic or not, you don't give a hoot. You want to pleasure your brain.
You are celebrating the success of foisting corporatist crap on the public, charging a premium for it and all through a movie that tries to communicate that corporatism is morally reprehensible.
All this demonstrates:
1) People are generally stupid. And given how stupid the median intelligence is, and half the people are dumber than that.
2) Crap outsells quality. That is why all the plastic crap in Walmart is made in China. People are just too stupid to pay for or care for quality. I can PROVE the toxicity of phthalates, alkylphenols, bisphenol A (BPA), PBDEs, PCBs, PAHs, diglycidyl ether, PFCs and leeching formaldehydes. I can PROVE it. And I can show you that phthalates, alkylphenols, bisphenol A (BPA), PBDEs, PCBs, PAHs, diglycidyl ether, PFCs leech from cheaply made products and poison you. Yet you keep buying the stuff up.
3) A misguided notion that volume sales are a sign of success. So when a certain drug company sells things like thalidomide or Viox at record sales levels yet its later shown this trash is toxic and causes heart attacks and birth defects, you would celebrate the commercial success?
This movie allows idiots, dolts, dullards, mentally deficient persons, addleheads, pinheads, dimwits, dodos, blockheads, boneheads, dopes, nincompoops, dummies, microcephalics, coelenterates, ninnies, nitwits, numbskulls, twits, momos, morons, imbeciles, cretins, dunces, fools, ignoramuses, retards and the feeble minded to mentally masturbate, to enjoy the BREAD and CIRCUS.
This movie has the following traps that have lead people who like this movie (Avatards) down a pathetic path.
1) Escapism. Because reality is unbearable for these morons.
2) Justification. If you feel food about this movie you can't be "wrong." It allows you to continue to live at standards of living that are not justified by your intelligence level or value to humanity and justify it all because of how you feel.
3) Allowing one's already weakened mind to be further perverted by utterly simplistic and childish renditions of scenarios that are some of the worst material for parables and demonstrations of societal mores.
4) Lust. Celebrating the sexual predation of an interloper with a primitive noble savage while said savage is going through vulnerable circumstances.
5) Gluttony. You stuff your fat faces with toxic popcorn (oils in popcorn when heated are very toxic), and artificially flavored candies while you enjoy your BREAD and CIRCUS.
6) Extravagance. The pomp and flair of this spectacle and the ridiculous budget that could have been better used to allow tens or more directors a shot at making better films is simply extravagant all channeled through a man with 5 ex wives and a huge helping of hubris.
7) Greed. The greedy nature of James Cameron and his pseudo intellectual movie that portrays greed as evil yet this very vehicle, the movie itself, was fostered out of greed and the love of money.
8) Apathetic listlessness. Those misanthropes who fester in melancholy use this bread and circus to further justify their acediac dispositions and behaviors. None of those who watched the movie actually believe in true meritocracy, libertarianism or self determination. They live in and actively produce a society which is antagonistic towards liberty and self determination through the creation of an authoritarian and autocratic state. Cameron uses the deep seated rage against INGSOC and the oligarchies controlling everything from cradle to grave to keep your morons to buy tickets and love it all the while making a billionaire richer.
9) Despair. This movie allows the festering in sadness and despair to not do something about it, but to gather for bread and cirus to make the promoter rich while ignoring endemic issue on the society they are pretending to rail against.
10) Again, another sedentary activity for the fat idiot moviegoer. The average Avatard ate a daily allowance of food whilst doing nothing for three hours. Then the same corpulent cowboy for freedom and justice uses his sausage fingers to type praise for this piece of trash on various forums.
11) Embracing rage. This movie depicts a an who is coursing with anger, rage and wrath. He lead the noble savages poorly and every executive decision he made was poor resulting in many deaths. It took divine intervention to swing the tides of war. Yet the protagonist is enjoyed as a hero. His rage, anger and wrath was satanic and nearly cost the noble savages everything.
12) Envy. The protagonist was green with envy over the noble savages carefree lifestyle and uncrippled/superior bodies. Not only would he be able to walk, he would be superhuman. This protagonist was no uber mensch. His Envy lead him to betray his own people, potentially dooming millions/billions to loss of life without obtaining the needed fuel to survive all to sate his envy.
13) Pride. This protagonist, despite being a disastrous executive, smiles ear to ear after "his victory." Yet in the scenes depicted it was divine intervention that saved the noble savages, not the protagonist. Yet as he participates in the rounding of the people he betrayed in a very fascistic manner he grins ear to ear with pride. He is not only full of pride but also of great vanity. He was the opposite of humble.
Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions - everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things:
bread and circuses

But, but Avatar was purty
The hero goes native and strikes back at corporate greed the only way he knows how to. With violence. Rather populist if you ask me.
He is just a grunt not a scientist. The movie makes that clear.

I'm always wondering where dumb, broke in debt people like you get the money to go out and not only burn on entertainment you can't afford, but to burn that money watching the same thing over and over again.

Good point.
I usually donate some blood. That usually gets me enough green to buy a bottle of Mad Dog and see a film. Sometimes, I even have enough money left over to pay my Mensa and Cal Berkeley Alumni Association dues.

You're spending a lot of time obsessing about a movie you hated
and the people who liked it. You also seem to be forgetting the idea that taste in movies, music, books, TV, art, etc is completely subjective - why are people automatically "idiots" (or any of the other things you mentioned) if they have different tastes then you? (your list above was full of stereotypes about Western culture and the people in it btw).
If people are "stupid" for liking Avatar, what movies should they like in your opinion? I'm always looking for interesting movies to watch that might or might not be in the "mainstream". Attacking people is one thing, but at some point it helps to actually be constructive rather then just tearing everything down...

^^^ So I take it you didn't like this movie?
Yeah, all too often CGI, 3-D and other special effects are there to dazzle you while ignoring good character developement and plots. Given there are no gay robots in this movie I'll check it out.
Yep, on science fiction movies and tv series often using the humaniod form in many of it's aliens. Even the aliens in Cameroon's "Alien" had two arms, two legs and a head. But the alien had no eyes which was cool. With CGI they should be able to create whatever they want. One motive for making them humaniod could be so the audience can better relate to them and have empathy for them. Would you have been happier if the aliens looked like slugs?

Avatar and Nine
In general, I thought Avatar rocked! Cameron has done it again. Let's be honest here: he's far from being the greatest screenwriter, but he's a very gifted storyteller and one helluva filmmaker - and he has the best batting average of any director in Hollywood.
Okay, so it's Dances with Wolves-meets-Ferngully in outer space, but I really found myself sucked into the world of the Navi, thanks largely to the incredible visuals, of course. I believed the love story and rooted for the Navi as opposed to the money-hungry, trigger-happy humans, led by Giovanni Ribisi and Stephen Lang (in a ridiculous, grotesque characterization that was undoutedly the foulest element of the movie). The film's other flounderings (in addition to Lang's one-note character) were mostly just little things, hardly worth getting as worked up over as some Crankylanders: the voice-over was a bit clunky (especially at the beginning), the cheesy song that rang in the end credits didn't belong (it took you out of the moment), things like that. Oh, it was nice seeing Sigourney Weaver (whose career was arguably MADE by Cameron, thanks to her Oscar-nominated work in 1986's Aliens) with a nice role.
As for Nine, I agree with Mal. A great cast but lackluster songs except for Fergie's number. I think the film would've worked better as a straight drama, without song-and-dance. I mean, I wanted to like the basic story about an Italian filmmaker who can longer find his voice despite (or because of) the presence of so many influential women in his life, but I kept getting taken out of the moment by these unspectacular songs. I gotta say though, Penelope Cruz has NEVER looked better than she does here...and Judi Dench sure can sing.

Avatar in theaters Friday with more blue sex?
From the NY Post. The best tabloid in NYC:
When "Avatar" returns to IMAX theaters on Friday for a limited run aimed at adding to its $2.7 billion box-office bonanza, viewers will get to see yet another cinematic breakthrough: Na'vi sex.
Director James Cameron has added nine minutes of footage to his blockbuster, some of which extends the love scene between hero Jake Sully's avatar and Neytiri, his 9-foot-tall blue lover. Beneath the sacred Tree of Souls, they mingle their anemone-like braids in alien union.
"The tendrils move with a life of their own, straining to be joined," reads a leaked page of the script that describes the scene. "JAKE rocks with the direct contact between his nervous system and hers. The ultimate intimacy."

I've seen this movie five times. Yeah, really.
I'm still in Avatar burn-out mode. I'll be giving it a pass.
Though I'll be buying the Avatar special edition when it comes out for sale in December.

I hope Cameron gets into that Lucas fix-it mode
Where he keeps going back and redoing his films trying to "fix" them. Titanic could be changed to where it's nothing but Leonardo floating dead in the freezing ocean for two hours. Hey I'd watch that!

Area man named an institute fellow
Jerry S. Walls, former Lycoming County department of planning and community development director and planning commission executive director, will, a news release said, be inducted into the "American Institute of Certified Planners' elite membership of AICP's College of Fellows" today at a black-tie ceremony being held in conjunction with the American Planning Association's National Planning Conference in Los Angeles.
"The AICP College of Fellows recognizes individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the planning profession and their own communities," said Institute President Anna Breinich. "The Fellows have devoted their careers to excellence in planning. They continue to set the bar for professional planners today," she added.
County planning director for more than three decades, Walls' leadership, vision and technical skills were used to address issues as diverse as greenways planning, solid waste management, infrastructure development, and emergency management planning. His many accomplishments were the result of most valuable skills-following through, building consensus, fostering meaningful public involvement, and forging partnerships.
"None of those community improvement projects could have been accomplished by a single person so I want to share the credit with numerous partners and project stakeholders who cooperated to make the vision a reality," Walls said. "As I reflect back on the process to plan and implement those projects the support of the Lycoming County Planning Commission members, our highly-effective and competent professional staff, various boards of county commissioners and collaborating municipalities, water and sewer and rail authorities and SEDA Council of Governments stands out in stark contrast to the deeply divided communities in other parts of Pennsylvania."
Walls, who continues to work as a consultant and volunteer, is named an AICP Fellow for his achievements in professional practice. He is a graduate of Wayne State University.
Every two years a new class of Institute Fellows is honored in recognition of outstanding achievements by individual planners in one of four categories: Professional practice, research, teaching and mentoring or community service and leadership.
All planners who have been certified by AICP use the letters "AICP" after their names. Fellows of AICP are designated with the letters "FAICP." There are about 15,000 practicing urban and rural planners in North America and elsewhere with the institute's certification. Of those, about 450 belong to the AICP College of Fellows.
The AICP College of Fellows, begun in 1999, is concerned with mentoring and future advancement of the profession of planning. For more than 80 years, AICP has promoted professional excellence in the field of planning by setting high standards for competence, education, experience, and ethical conduct, and by articulating the future of the planning profession.
The 2012 National Planning Conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center is the largest annual conference for professional planners in the world, the news release said. The country's first national planning conference took place in Washington, D.C., in May 1909.
The American Planning Association is an independent, not-for-profit educational organization that provides leadership in the development of vital communities. APA and its professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners, are dedicated to advancing the art, science and profession of good planning - physical, economic and social - so as to create communities that offer better choices for where and how people work and live. Members of APA help create communities of lasting value and encourage civic leaders, business interests and citizens to play a meaningful role in creating communities that enrich people's lives. APA has offices in Washington, D.C., and Chicago, Ill.

Man earns 'Premier
Partner' status
ING Financial Partners has honored Bradley D. Hall with the "Premier Partner" title, earned by the top 13 percent of affiliated representatives. Hall has achieved Premier Partner status, a news release said, for his investment planning success, unwavering dedication to clients and reaching targeted sales goals.
"Achieving the Premier Partner designation marks an important career milestone," said Karl Lindberg, president of ING Financial Partners. "This is an opportunity for ING Financial Partners to acknowledge Brad's hard work, dedication to client satisfaction and success."
Hall is vice president with Comprehensive Financial Group. He has more than 35 years of experience in the financial services industry. ING Financial Partners is a broker/dealer with more than 2,500 representatives nationwide. Comprehensive Financial Group is not a subsidiary of ING Financial Partners, and is independently managed.

Dice has been an established neonatal & pediatric clinical practitioner and pediatric pharmacy practice manager and leader. Throughout his career he has developed innovative services such as automation of the parenteral nutrition process, therapeutic drug monitoring services, expanded clinical and distribution services in pediatric institutions and published one of the first individualized Lexi-Comp formulary books.
Dice, the son of Doris and the late John Dice - once principal of Cochran Elementary - was born in Williamsport. He graduated from Montoursville High School in 1972.
Dice received a bachelor's of science in pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science in 1977 and completed an ASHP-accredited Residency in Hospital Pharmacy at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals in 1978. In 1980, he received a PharmD from the University of Tennessee, and in 1981 completed residency training at LeBonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. He was Dr. Richard Helms' first resident trainee.
After completing his residency training at LeBonheur, he joined the faculty at the University of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City and served as a Clinical Pharmacist at Oklahoma Children's Memorial Hospital. While at the University of Oklahoma, he developed the pediatrics component of the therapeutics curriculum. He also developed a pharmacokinetics service and a home parenteral nutrition program. He was voted Student American Pharmaceutical Association's outstanding faculty member in 1983.
In 1984, he moved to Washington D.C., to become the assistant director for clinical services and later became the assistant director of critical care, education and information at the Children's National Medical Center where he established and expanded clinical pharmacy programs, automated the PN compounding process, started an IV Team, and was involved with pharmacy student and residency training. While at CNMC, he worked with the Baxa Corp. to develop their parenteral nutrition compounder to automate the preparation of parenteral nutrition solutions. Dice also served as chairman for an independent IRB.
In 1991, Dice became the Director of Pharmacy at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Dice expanded the unit dose and IV admixture service, implemented clinical services to the PICU, NICU, Hematology/ Oncology and Solid Organ Transplant Service, implemented a hospital wide therapeutic drug monitoring service, published a drug dosing book & formulary, served as a member of General Clinical Research Center Review Committee, and served as a preceptor for pharmacy students.
In December 2003, he became director of the pharmacy at the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughter in Norfolk, Va. While at CHKD, he has implemented a therapeutic monitoring service with medical staff credentialing of the pharmacists involved, an integrated distribution/clinical staffing model, and PGY-1 residency program.

Alternative viewpoints will likely intrigue you rather than repel you today. You may even feel more understanding than usual and be ready to entertain ideas and beliefs that differ from your own. Consequently, your attitude towards those individuals whose philosophies are in opposition with your own will likely be one of acceptance and curiosity. This can be the perfect time to approach the culturally or spiritually unique people in your life in order to articulate your questions. You may be surprised to discover that there are many aspects of their ideals that resonate deeply with your own. If you remain open-minded today, you can learn much from your relations with loved ones, associates, and coworkers.
When we adopt a personal philosophy of tolerance, we can focus our attention on the important details of our own lives rather than concerning ourselves with the thoughts or actions of others. Though we need not embrace all that is believed or practiced by people we encounter in our day-to-day lives, we can nonetheless ensure that our habits in no way infringe upon their individual rights to freedom of expression. We may even find that we can learn much from those who view the world in a different way or whose backgrounds differ significantly from our own. As we explore all that individuals from other cultures can offer us in terms of perspective, our worldview grows increasingly wider. Your ability to accept interpersonal differences tolerantly today will open your eyes to new spheres of knowledge and understanding.

Album Review
Madacy doesn't exactly have a great reputation for putting out stellar compilations or serious artist retrospectives. They often cut corners, issue too few tracks, and provide sketchy liner notes at best. In this case, however, they've done a respectable job of assembling the best cuts
the Staple Singers
recorded for Stax between 1971 and 1974. In fact, what it is -- in rather random order -- is about half their output for the label. All of the big hits are here, such as "Respect Yourself," "I'll Take You There," and "Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na-Boom Boom)," with a boatload of quality stuff in between. These are the original studio recordings, not live filler, and none of them are re-recorded either. In fact, though
the Staples
had terrific years with King, United Artists, Epic, and Warner, it was their years with Stax that defined them in the 1970s as a transformational force on the charts. This is really cheap, so snag it before it drifts out of print.

H-1B Travel and Re-Entry Information
While you hold H-1B status, you are free to travel internationally. Before you travel, please review:
To re-enter the US after a stay abroad, you should always bring the following documents:
Employment Confirmation Template
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written to confirm that [Full Name] will be employed with the University of Michigan, [Department Name], pursuant to the terms and conditions of our approved H-1B petition. [Full Name] will be employed in the position of [Job Title] at an annual salary of [Wage Rate].
[Name of Department Administrator/Department Contact]
Upon your return to the U.S.:
Applying for Your H-1B Visa:
Canadian citizens are exempt from the visa requirement. Canadian citizens should present themselves at a Port of Entry for admission to the US in H-1B status with the documents listed on Page 1 of this memorandum. Canadian citizens applying for admission in H-4 status, i.e. as the dependent of an H-1B status holder, must be prepared to present their passport plus proof of their relationship to the H-1B status holder (marriage certificate for spouse and birth certificate for child).
VISA REQUIREMENTS: If you are coming to the University of Michigan from abroad, you will need to apply for an H-1B visa to enter the US. To do so, you will need to make an appointment with the nearest US embassy or consulate. Please refer to the website of the US embassy where you intend to apply for more information on the required documents. The exact visa application procedures and timelines vary from country to country and even from consulate to consulate. Therefore, please review the visa application instructions that are given on the US embassy or consulate website. For a list of all consulates and embassies, please refer to www.usembassy.state.gov/
Please note that you may be selected for "administrative processing," more commonly called a "background check," by the consular official when you apply for your visa. Background checks can be imposed for a variety of reasons, including your personal background or the scientific or technical field in which they work. The government issues a new Technology Alert List (TAL) every year, which lists professions identified by the U.S. State Department as being a higher risk to national security. Working in a field included in this list does not necessarily mean that your visa application will be delayed, but you should be prepared for the possibility. The TAL is a classified document and not available to the public. Some fields on the TAL include nuclear technology, chemical, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering, advanced computer/ microelectronic technology, materials technology, and information technology, robotics, and urban planning.
Unfortunately, FSIS cannot exert any control on the background check process. Because a background check is always an option, it is recommended you apply for your H-1B visa as soon as possible.
Below is a list of documents generallyrequired when applying for your H-1B visa:
To find out the typical wait times for scheduling an appointment and processing a visa at your consulate, go to: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/wait-times.html/. Choose the city you will be visiting then click "Go".
Travel to Canada or Mexico (Automatic Revalidation)
If you are only traveling to Canada or Mexico for a period of less than 30 days, you may be eligible to re-enter the US on the basis of an expired visa in your passport under a process called "automatic visa revalidation."
In order to take advantage of Automatic Revalidation:
*When exiting the U.S. for Automatic Revalidation do not surrender your I-94—you will need it for reentry.
NOTE: If you are required to have a Visitor Visa to enter Canada, please be sure to apply early, as visas can take 60-90 days to issue. For Canadian Visitor visa requirements and processing times: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp.
Automatic revalidation is not available to nationals from countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism: http://www.state.gov/j/ct/list/c14151.htm.
We recommend that individuals planning to re-enter the US under the automatic visa revalidation process carry with them the CBP automatic visa revalidation memo, which you can find at http://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/auto_reva_3.pdf. In addition, please print the relevant regulation, which can be accessed through our website.
If you will be traveling by air, you should confirm that your airline is familiar with the visa revalidation process and will issue you a boarding pass when returning to the US even though you have an expired US visa in your passport.
Travel while an H-1B petition is pending
Whether or not you may travel internationally while your H-1B petition is pending depends on a variety of factors:

Software Etymology
There are a number of "What Is ..." pages on this Wiki, each concerned with the definition of a term that corresponds to some principle of software development. These terms are sometimes problematic because of the rate of semantic change that resulted from their application in an area in which rapid change is not only the norm but also the key to survival. But things can change
too fast
sometimes, leading to fragmentation of concepts and poor communication. the "What Is ..." movement here is a healthy thing, both literally and figuratively. It's good for us to know what each other means, and that can result only from a certain degree of literal
or wholeness among terminology and its application.
As older, borrowed meanings and their terms drift to new stations in our lingo, it requires effort to stay coordinated. But even with effort, sometimes a term reaches multiple semantic attractors so that practitioners are unwilling to ditch their preferred interpretations in favor of someone else's, even if the reward is better communication. When negotiations about current meaning come to a halt, one reflex is to reflect. "How did we get here?" In other words, scan the history of semantic evolution, and then see if we can identify a preferred path from past to present, perhaps selecting certain branches over others based on more of an architectural view of the process.
That's where this page figures in. Sometimes, if you investigate older (even ancient) meanings of the terms you use today, and if you hold some of those meanings in your mind simultaneously with the meanings of modern application, you get a pleasant kind of synergy where past and present fuse into something transcendent - deeper insights into the way humans think and build and carry on. This can result in reduction and simpler understandings, the value of which should be obvious for our field.
page really touched me (before I touched it, that is). For one thing, it reminded me of the day I asked John Palmer, during a survey of object orientation approaches, whether "analysis" in the popular lifecycle models means the state in which requirements are wrought. The answer was not yes, but it was also not no, and it left my internal model broken for a while. But it also made me realize the sloppiness with which we use such terms and the fuzzball of communication that results from that. More importantly, it suggested that these terms are not defined for us with any authority.
, I tried following the lead of Bob Haugen in suggesting that the etymology of the word could provide valuable and practical information, but was countered with the advice that when people ask that question, they are asking for a survey (perhaps even an average) of current interpretations. In other words, a
of normative modern application, not a
for more correct or more effective interpretation. So be it. The present page begins where
and similar pages leave off. It's for those who are interested in history and a degree of depth. Borrowing from
, it's very much about analysis, especially in the sense of "getting to roots". It's for people who like roots.
Etymologies of Software Terms
Literally, to break apart. Chemical analysis identifies elements from compounds. Fourier analysis identifies simple frequencies from complex harmonic compositions. In software, we talk about decomposition (as in "
"), and separation (as in "
" in problem domain analysis). It may be a mistake to think of
as being any discrete or distinct phase of a development, just as it would be a mistake to think of breathing as a phase of life. Also, there is nothing historic in the word
that suggests a particular level of abstraction, as in
high level design
Literally, "first builder" (from Greek arche-tekton). Arche (first) could mean first in sequence, first in importance, or any other number of "firsts". Note that linguistically, 'architect' is the basis for 'architecture', not the other way around. The "first" part certainly implies authority, perhaps seniority. But the term overall is not very descriptive. For instance, it does not discriminate between modern roles of designer and project manager. Also nothing directly related to
As in "quality assurance". The original meaning of
, and the original meaning of
, as in
. Assuring, in a deep sense, means promising the quality of wholeness. As this applies to (process) quality assurance, it means that whatever body of standards is being used to guide development, that body is being applied as a whole and consistently, as opposed to piecemeal.
This word is so deeply ingrained in our thinking that it's hard to define or even describe it without self-reference.
Contra roll
means there is a second writing against which the first writing can be compared. Usually we think control means changing things to be the way we want them, but the etymology is void of explicit change semantics. Instead, it brings focus on that second clause:
the way we want them
, which presumably is what's captured in that second writing. Control equals comparison.
Something that has grown in response to someone's caring labor, as something cultivated, according to Latin roots. By this definition, many software organizations may not be cultures at all.
Literally, to "mark out", this is an interesting one. Strictly speaking, when you "design in your head", you're not designing at all.
You have to commit it to paper,
then you're
. In this respect,
is closer in meaning to our familiar usage of the word
, and the dictionary considers them synonyms. You may do some
in your head, then write down the results in a
. (But analyses are not the only activities that result in things that can be marked out.)
More on the Etymology of "Design": While "to mark" is part of the meaning of design, another important etymology meaning is "to follow", as in to follow the "sign" or "mark" or standard of your leader. This meaning also resonates very well with "plan", which is the standard builders follow.
Literally, to lay your hands on something. This word came to us via the French language, where it took on the popular meaning of handling horses. For you programmers out there, this kind of brings new meaning to the word 'bit', eh?
From the Italian
, literally a small measure of something.
because they defeat the goal: smallness. A model is only effective if its smallness lends greater tractability than the thing it models. A corner off a loaf of bread, containing both crust and crumb, is a model of the loaf, and an effective one at that (when I'm hungry).
Literally, something that is thrown forward. When you throw something forward to be tripped over, you've created a problem. "Obstacle" is considered a synonym. I've put this here for completeness (see "solution" below).
From the verb, to solve, which means the same thing as dissolve, that is, to break apart into tiny enough pieces so as to remove. This is a technique for destroying problems, and note the similarity to

of these terms. I'd appreciate your respect in keeping the theme pure here.
Will undoubtedly add more in due time. Suggestions welcome, gentle comments, and what-have-you.
The terms Architect and Design are both defined, with neither making reference to the other. I've always wondered, what is the distinction people make between these terms? To me, they carry the same meaning.
Sometimes they're used interchangeably; other times, there's a distinction, in which case it's a question of scope. An architect has complete responsibility for a system or large subsystem, including ensuring that relevant requirements have been adequately gathered and met, while a designer might not be responsible for missing or wrong requirements, only for creating a design that meets certain requirements.
It's somewhat like the question, 'what's the difference between a first level manager, a third level manager, a director, etc?' In a tiny company or department, there might be no difference at all, while in a Fortune 100 company, there might be a rather large difference in the scope of responsibility at each level.
To put it another way, if someone's title is "architect", that typically implies "the buck stops here", whereas that may or may not be true of the title "designer".

For me looking at all kinds of art is inspiring, and it is useful to know and express what you like and don't like. It's also very instructive for learning new methods and techniques. Two weeks ago I went to the KunstRAI in Amsterdam and after that I had a big boost, lots of ideas and excitement for making new things! I rambled on about it the whole way home :) Above you see the works and artists that I want to share with you (and I've added them to my favorite works/artists list!).
1. A necklace made by Melanie Isverding, it's laser cut and the inside is covered with silver dust. You can't see this on the photo but when the light falls on the necklace it has a beautiful sparkle. 2. Jantje Fleischhut made this wonderful brooch titled 'A moon above'. I was already a fan of her and her work, we met when she and my fiancé made my engagement ring together! 3. I'm totally in love with this work called 'Part of Roaming the unknown 1' made by Frode Bolhuis. It's so beautifully made and it has a delicate narrative feel to it. 4. Jurriaan Molenaar made this painting called 'Aside'. I like the light, the space that he creates and the supertight way in which he paints.

Due to the murky nature of the allegations and the sensitive nature of the case, this blog had hoped to steer clear of the recent John Terry trial. However, having monitored every element of the proceedings on a minute-by-minute basis and seen the extreme reactions to the not guilty verdict, an opinion had to be ventured.
While the furore surrounding John Terry's date in court dominates the headlines, a notable admission from Roberto Di Matteo has caught this blog's eye.
With Euro 2012 having finished the world's attention will once again switch to domestic matters. But before events in Poland and Ukraine fade into black and white, let's assess the impact that the Chelsea contingent made upon the tournament.

A computer worm is similar to a computer virus (in fact they are sometimes called "computer worm viruses") in that they infect your computer and usually do bad things. However, unlike most computer viruses, which rely on their host (or another program on their host), computer worm viruses tend to be self-propagating. This means that computer worms are entirely self-contained, and have everything they need on board to do their dirty work once they are downloaded to your computer.
Computer worms typically do things like install spyware and adware on your system, and have been known to also install keyword loggers and backdoors to your computer system that allow whomever created the worm to take control of your computer remotely, and use it for no good, such as sending spam through your computer without you even knowing!
These worms can be spread a variety of ways, nearly all of them without your knowing. For example, they can be included as an attachment in an e-mail. For this reason you should never click on an e-mail attachment unless you were expecting it and are sure of what it is. Just because you know the person who appeared to send you the e-mail doesn't mean that you can trust the attachment, as one thing which computer worms do is grab addresses from a victim's e-mail address book, and then send e-mail to those addresses which appears to be from the victim, but is really just the worm replicating itself.
Another way that computer worms are spread is…

6waves partners with 32 social devs
Publisher to release 40 games before July, adds Atari to list of partners
6waves Lolapps media
With over 40 million active users per month, Lolapps has the largest network of social games and applications...
6waves, formerly 6waves Lolapps, has formed partnerships with 32 gaming companies, including Atari, and plans to publish 40 titles in the first half of 2012.
"The momentum that we have gained in both mobile and social in 2012 should send a clear signal to the industry: we are committed to continuing our growth," said the publisher's Jim Ying.
"2012 will see our portfolio expand significantly in all key genres. We couldn't be happier to welcome so many exciting independent developers to our fold, as well as a powerhouse brand like Atari."
The new partner companies span 11 different countries, and as well as Atari include Kabam, Zodiak Active, Sharkus Games, Adjoy and Jammy Pot.
"Discoverability and user acquisitions are ever-increasing challenges facing social games today, so partnering with 6waves was the logical choice for us," added Atari CEO Jim Wilson.
"We look forward to leveraging their track record of successfully publishing games on social networks as we bring Atari's world-renowned game franchises to our ever growing fan base."
It seems a time of transition for the company, which has dropped the Lolapps section of its name (which it only added after a merger in July,) cut its development team and saw a number of high profile Lolapps staff leave the company.

SECTION 15-61-10. Partition is compellable between certain joint tenants and tenants in common.
All joint tenants and tenants in common who hold, jointly or in common, for a term of life or years or of whom one has an estate for a term of life or years with the other that has an estate of inheritance or freehold in any lands, tenements or hereditaments shall be compellable to make severance and partition of all such lands, tenements and hereditaments.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10-2201; 1952 Code Section 10-2201; 1942 Code Section 8826; 1932 Code Section 8826; Civ. C. '22 Section 5292; Civ. C. '12 Section 3522; Civ. C. '02 Section 2436; G. S. 1829; R. S. 1948; 1712 (2) 471, 474.
SECTION 15-61-11. Waiver of partition of land which is site of electric generating plant.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15-61-10, the right to compel judicial partition of lands may be waived by tenants-in-common owning land upon which is to be constructed or has been constructed an electric generating plant producing electric energy for sale or distribution within or without this State, provided the effective period of such waiver does not extend beyond the operating life of the generating plant. If notice is given by the recording of a deed or instrument of conveyance creating a tenancy-in-common and containing an expression of agreement to waive the right of judicial partition, then such agreement shall run with the land and shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of any tenant-in-common so bound. The power and right to enter into agreements to waive the right of judicial partition authorized by this section shall be in addition to any such powers and rights already authorized by the laws of South Carolina.
HISTORY: 1979 Act No. 176, Section 13.
SECTION 15-61-20. Only parties to proceeding are affected by partition.
No severance or partition shall be prejudicial or hurtful to any person or persons, their heirs or successors, other than such as are parties unto the partition, their executors and assigns.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10-2202; 1952 Code Section 10-2202; 1942 Code Section 8826; 1932 Code Section 8826; Civ. C. '22 Section 5292; Civ. C. '12 Section 3522; Civ. C. '02 Section 2436; G. S. 1829; R. S. 1948; 1712 (2) 471, 474.
SECTION 15-61-25. Right of first refusal of joint tenant or tenant in common to purchase property prior to partition; procedure.
(A) For the purposes of this section, "joint tenants and tenants in common" include heirs or devisees. Upon the filing of a petition for partition of real property owned by joint tenants or tenants in common, the court shall provide for the nonpetitioning joint tenants or tenants in common who are interested in purchasing the property to notify the court of that interest no later than ten days prior to the date set for the trial of the case. The nonpetitioning joint tenants or tenants in common shall be allowed to purchase the interests in the property as provided in this section whether default has been entered against them or not.
(B) In the circumstances described in subsection (A) of this section, and in the event the parties cannot reach agreement as to the price, the value of the interest or interests to be sold shall be determined by one or more competent real estate appraisers, as the court shall approve, appointed for that purpose by the court. The appraisers appointed pursuant to this section shall make their report in writing to the court within thirty days after their appointment. The costs of the appraisers appointed pursuant to this section shall be taxed as a part of the cost of court to those seeking to purchase the interests of the joint tenants or tenants in common petitioning to sell their interest in the property described in the petition for partition.
(C) In the event that the petitioning joint tenants or tenants in common object to the value of the interests as determined by the appointed appraisers, those joint tenants or tenants in common shall have ten days from the date of filing of the report to file written notice of objection to the report and request a hearing before the court on the value. An evidentiary hearing limited to the proposed valuation of the interests of the petitioning joint tenants or tenants in common shall be conducted, and an order as to the valuation of the interests of the petitioning joint tenants or tenants in common shall be issued.
(D) After the valuation of the interest in property is completed as provided in subsection (B) or (C) of this section, the nonpetitioning joint tenants or tenants in common seeking to purchase the interests of those filing the petition shall have forty-five days to pay into the court the price set as the value of those interests to be purchased. Upon the payment and approval of it by the court, the court shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered the proper instruments transferring title to the purchasers.
(E) In the event that the nonpetitioning joint tenants or tenants in common fail to pay the purchase price as provided in subsection (D) of this section, the court shall proceed according to its traditional practices in partition sales.
HISTORY: 2006 Act No. 302, Section 1, eff May 25, 2006, applicable to all petitions for partition filed after that date.
SECTION 15-61-30. State as owner of escheated interest is not necessary party.
If one having a vested interest in real estate as tenant in common dies without a will and without known heirs partition proceedings may be maintained against unknown heirs without making the State a party to the action, and a sale and conveyance under a decree in the cause shall vest such interest as may be subject to escheat under the provisions of this chapter in the purchaser, provided that in such decree provisions be made for the payment of the divisible share of such deceased person in the proceeds of sale, if any, to the State Treasurer, to be paid into the State Treasury, subject to the right of the heir or heirs to recover such share by proper proceedings and on issue tried in the court of common pleas.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10-2203; 1952 Code Section 10-2203; 1942 Code Section 8830; 1932 Code Section 8830; 1924 (33) 1090.
SECTION 15-61-40. Validation of certain titles.
All titles to real estate conveyed prior to March 18 1924 under order of the court in partition cases when one or more of the parties in interest had died without heirs or other disposition of the estate are hereby validated in so far as they may be affected by the provisions of this chapter.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10-2204; 1952 Code Section 10-2204; 1942 Code Section 8830; 1932 Code Section 8830; 1924 (33) 1090.
SECTION 15-61-50. Jurisdiction to partition in kind or by sale.
The court of common pleas has jurisdiction in all cases of real and personal estates held in joint tenancy or in common to make partition in kind or by allotment to one or more of the parties upon their accounting to the other parties in interest for their respective shares or, in case partition in kind or by allotment cannot be fairly and impartially made and without injury to any of the parties in interest, by the sale of the property and the division of the proceeds according to the rights of the parties.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10-2205; 1952 Code Section 10-2205; 1942 Code Section 8827; 1932 Code Section 8827; Civ. C. '22 Section 5293; Civ. C. '12 Section 3523; Civ. C. '02 Section 2437; G. S. 1830; R. S. 1949; 1882 (17) 982; 1885 (19) 314.
SECTION 15-61-100. Sale may be ordered without writ upon testimony taken.
Nothing in Sections 15-61-60 to 15-61-90 shall be construed to affect the power of the court of common pleas to dispense with the issuing of a writ of partition when, in the judgment of the court, it would involve unnecessary expense to issue such writ. And the court may in all proceedings in partition, without recourse to such writ, determine by means of testimony taken before the proper officer and reported to the court whether a partition in kind among the parties be practicable or expedient and, when such partition cannot be fairly and equally made, may order a sale of the property and a division of the proceeds according to the rights of the parties.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10-2210; 1952 Code Section 10-2210; 1942 Code Section 8829; 1932 Code Section 8829; Civ. C. '22 Section 5295; Civ. C. '12 Section 3525; Civ. C. '02 Section 2439; R. S. 1951; 1886 (19) 506.
SECTION 15-61-110. Attorneys' fees.
The court of common pleas may fix attorneys' fees in all partition proceedings and, as may be equitable, assess such fees against any or all of the parties in interest.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10-2211; 1952 Code Section 10-2211; 1949 (46) 123.
