301 Bellevue Square, Bellevue Mall, 425-454-3322.
*The Self, Absorbed
Curated by BAM director Brian Wallace, a simple self- portrait show this is not, as artists from across the country examine themselves with entirely new concepts in mind like cloning, medical imaging, and cosmetic surgery. Simple and captivating works like photographs and paintings incorporating DNA codes are contrasted with a video tape of an artist who drinks tequila until she passes out, while another artist documents in detail her many plastic surgeries. Way to shake up those Eastsiders, Brian. A few of the artists included are Chuck Close, Harriet Casdin-Silver, Denise Marika, and Do-Hoh Suh. Through Nov 9.
(Center on Contemporary Art), 65 Cedar St, 728-1980.
A ten-year-old boy named Gregory Smart is at the center of a new collaborative installation created specifically for CoCA by the artist team of Harrell Fletcher and Jon Rubin. We get a real glimpse in to the life of this boy through videos taken by Smart from a helmet-mounted camera. The videos range from a day at the amusement park to shooting off rockets in the backyard with friends. The installation includes the video as well as items from the boy's life, like balls and a small-scale soccer field. Through Oct 9.
15th Ave NE at NE 41st St, 543-2280.
The Henry scores the fun show of the summer by bringing in Archigram: Experimental Architecture 1961-1974, a touring retrospective organized by Thread Waxing Space in New York. Founded by a sextet of London artist/architects, Archigram did everything but build actual buildings, using drawings, models, collages, and installations to develop utopian ideas with a pop-art look. Their nomadic city of stilt-walking buildings is a dream worthy of the finest science fiction. Through Oct 10.
Nordic Heritage Museum
3014 NW 67th, 789-5707.
Vebjorn Sand
This traveling exhibition of works by a prominent Norwegian contemporary artist includes paintings and renderings from major installations, a 16 foot steel replica of Leonardo da Vinci's Golden Horn Bridge, and a series of extraordinarily rich paintings. Through Nov 16.
100 University St, 654-3100.
An American Century of Photography: From Drypoint to Digital
An important exhibition of works from the Hallmark Photographic Collection examining important artists from Edward Muybridge to Aaron Siskind to Sandy Skoglund, and the advancement of photographic techniques throughout this century. Through Jan 9.
Anselm Kiefer and Germanic Tradition
Paintings, works on paper, and sculpture bring contemporary German works into focus. Kiefer, born at the end of WWII, balances visually powerful imagery with intellectual critical analysis in highly dramatic paintings. Works by Max Beckmann, Rosemarie Trockel, and others. Through Dec 5.
Roy McMakin
In an installation dividing the gallery into the layout of a house -- bedroom, bathroom, living room, and dining room -- Seattle artist, furniture maker, and architect McMakin uses stacks upon stacks of generic, store-bought household items, including refrigerators, toilets, tables, and mattresses. Each item stands in for others: a line of toilets becomes a couch, several refrigerators on their backs become a bed. This unconventional stuffing of a traditional living situation creates an environment of carefully calculated manic obsession. Through Oct 31.
1400 E Prospect St, Volunteer Park, 654-3100.
Modern Masters of Kyoto
Works by late 19th- and early 20th-century artists from Kyoto round out the programming for SAAM's "Year of Japan." This collection is owned by Northwest residents Griffith and Patricia Way and contains more than 80 examples of Kyoto-school nihonga -- modern Japanese paintings executed in traditional media formats. Through Feb 13.
Worlds of Fantasy: Chinese Shadow Puppets
Volunteer Park hosts more than 70 puppets from the 19th century. The majority of the exhibited works come from the collection of Theodore Bodde, who purchased the extraordinary objects while in Beijing in the 1930s. Chinese textiles with related themes will accompany. Through April 2, 2000.
1123 Pacific Ave, Tacoma, 253-272-4258.
New Religion
A perfect show in anticipation of the end of the millennium. A look at works with religious allegory at their foundation, including everything from Donald Roller Wilson's hysterically irreverent, yet technically remarkable costumed animal paintings to the tattoo-style renderings of Don Ed Hardy. Other artists include Melissa Weinman, Kathleen Jesse, Kathleen Fruge-Brown, Jon Swihart, Mark Ryden, Tom Uttech, and more. Through Nov 7.
The End
Artists were challenged to create a portrait of the century as we look toward the new millennium, and the 94 selected works range from apocalyptic visions to depictions of cute newborn animals. The show was juried by New York-based sculptor, political activist, and installation artist Fred Wilson, who was also recently awarded the MacArthur Fellowship. Wilson is best known for his museum "interventions," including Mining the Museum, a celebrated and unusual collaboration between Wilson and the Maryland Historical Society. Through Oct 31.
Monsters, monsters, monsters. Works by more than 25 artists in all media. Roq La Rue Gallery, 2224 Second Ave, 374-8977. Fri Oct 8 through Nov 2.
I wasn't expecting a show filled with delicate craft at Jim Harris, but the work is sublime. This is the first U.S. solo show by this internationally exhibiting Brazilian artist. A wall installation of 35 carved hummingbirds stands out as the centerpiece of the show. Jim Harris Gallery, 309A Third Ave S, 903-6220. Thurs Oct 7 through Nov 6.
Large gestural abstract paintings that faintly allude to Christian iconography by New York artist Borysewicz alongside new mixed media sculptures by Seders' favorite, Wenet. Francine Seders Gallery, 6701 Greenwood Ave N, 782-0355. Fri Oct 8 through Oct 31.
New oils by a Seattle painter whose work depicts coastal and Eastern Washington topography. Lisa Harris Gallery, 1922 Pike Place, 443-3315. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 31.
Works on paper and fine press books by Elsi Vassdal Ellis, Heidi Epstein, Jules Remedios Faye, Troy Gilpatrick, David Ireland, Thomas Johnston, Martin Muller-Reinhart, Joni Papp, and Christopher Stern. The Edison Eye, 5800 Cains Court, Edison, WA, 360-766-6276. Through Oct 31.
Cuevas, a member of the gallery for four years, celebrates FotoCircle's fifth anniversary with an exhibition entitled Portrait of a Gallery featuring photographs of the artists who created and continue to sustain one of Seattle's most interesting and consistently strong alternative galleries. FotoCircle Gallery, 163 S Jackson St, Second Floor, 624-2645. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 30.
An extremely touching and beautiful show. Childlike figures made from eggshell-thin raku, charred gauze, and rebar stand beside glass heads and mixed media portraits. Like the works of Judy Hill and Terry Turrell there is something hauntingly tender in the delicate lines and intentionally fragile and ephemeral media chosen to depict figures that so obviously need to be cared for. Eyre/Moore Gallery, 913 Western Avenue, 624-5596. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 31.
This touring exhibition features works by 16 American artists who are deaf. The works in the show celebrate a separate, distinct, and proud culture while also touching on more serious issues including communication barriers and societal hurdles. References to sign language are present throughout and it is the intention of the exhibit to inform viewers of the "innate cultural or physical deaf experience." Note -- this gallery used to be called the Seafirst Gallery and has not moved. Bank of America Gallery, 701 Fifth Ave, Third Floor, 585-3200. Thurs Oct 7 through Nov 5.
The press release for this show proclaims that Grenon "attracts, repels, offends, or seduces virtually everyone." It's true. His portraits of women are often ghoulish and rarely complimentary in any way, but his devotion to his subject is apparent and there is some garish magnetism of his palette of acid colors played off dense black elements. All that said, the work is undeniably physically powerful and clearly created with a committed vision. William Traver Gallery, 110 Union St, Second Floor, 587-6501. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 31.
Paintings of female figures in everyday settings at work and rest. Kurt Lidtke Gallery, 318 Second Ave S, 623-5082. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 30.
A spooky show of works by four new SOIL members dealing with the idea of a presence beyond the grave, just in time for Halloween. Participating artists are John Feodorov, Scott Mansfield, Tim Marsden, and Mariam Stephan. SOIL, 310 First Ave S, 264-8061. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 31.
Still life paintings of the ever predictable flowers, bowls, and fruit set on draped tables. The most interesting element of the work is that surreal landscapes and skylines are present behind the table and in the foreground, creating a confusing and slightly more intriguing environment. Linda Hodges Gallery, 410 Occidental Ave S, 624-3034. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 30.
Veteran Seattle painter Kane takes over both exhibition spaces at his new gallery. In the front is a body entitled Suburban Souls, a series of acrylic on burlap depicting golfing, barbecuing, and other middle class pastimes. Holidays in Paint is a series of small works that range in subject matter from mythological to futuristic -- all with Kane's dry wit front and center. Esther Claypoo9l Gallery, 617 Western Ave, 624-1586. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 30.
There's nobody around who paints a still life with such precision and sensitivity as Chicago artist David Kroll. Tiny birds land on piles of fruit and ceramic bowls in elegant compositions. Warm tones of paint are applied in thin layers providing a luminous glow. On the mezzanine level are new etchings and monoprints by Oregon artist Judy Hill, generally known for her raku and mixed media figurative sculptures. Grover Thurston Gallery, 309 Occidental Ave S, 223-0816. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 30.
Small works with a large presence. Layered with various media, depicting objects and animals, figures and text, still-lifes and active narratives, these hand-sized triptychs are rich in image and concept. Lee is a wonderful painter and storyteller. King County Art Gallery, 506 Second Ave, Room 200, 296-7580. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 29.
A solo exhibition of new cast glass sculpture entitled Adrift. Robinson hails from New Zealand and has left her previous focus on vessels and created a new body of more organic forms inspired by her native environment. Elliott Brown Gallery, 619 North 35th St #101A, 547-9740. Sat Oct 9 through Nov 13.
Taking painting cues from masters like Holbein, van der Weyden, and van Eyck, this San Francisco artist twists traditional compositions by substituting her greyhound dog and other animals in for the human figures. The work is technically slick and amazing, and tremendously witty. Davidson Gallery, 313 Occidental Ave S, 624-7684. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 30.
Inspired by a trip to Mexico City in 1997, Siciliano's solo show The Mamacitas contains large-scale ink drawings and a few smaller pieces. The narratives explore religion, tradition, and class structure, and a number of pieces focus on young brides. LEAD Gallery, 1022 First Ave, 623-6240. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 29.
Simmons has for many years been one of the brightest emerging artists in Seattle, and with this show he takes a leap into impressive new territory, showing from three recent bodies of work. His abstract works have to date been created by spinning stretched canvas on a turntable as the paint is applied from a fixed point, creating thick surfaces of brightly colored concentric circles. The circles now move about the canvas rather than emanating out from one central point, creating a Spirograph effect. Some of the new works have a hypnotic moiré pattern superimposed on the circles, while others abandon the spinning canvas technique in favor of layers of transparent acrylic emulsion dragged and spilled in random psychedelic, abstract waves. Greg Kucera Gallery, 212 Third Ave S, 624-0770. Thurs Oct 7 through Oct 30.
Curated by Audrey Marrs, over 25 artists were asked to create a kit to describe themselves and their present state of mind. Milky World Gallery, 111 Battery, 374-0933. Through Nov 2.
Leaving her previous focus on abstraction, this new body of figurative works draws on more personal imagery and still incorporates the colorful palette Yatchman is known for. The Virginia Inn, 1937 First Ave. Thurs Oct 7 through Nov 2.
Southwest landscapes by resident gallery artist Barnbaum alongside surreal domestic scenes by Czech photographer Banka. Benham Photography Gallery, 1216 First Ave, 622-2480. Through Oct 16.

With primary season ending and the general election ramping up, we're once again being inundated with political advertisements on television and radio. These ads have a predictable style and rhythm, depending on their source and whether they are for or against a candidate.
The most common type is the positive ad from the candidate — well-lit, focused and upbeat. Mountains are often visible in the background. There may be some general discussion about issues, but it's usually vague.
While a 30-second spot isn't conducive to specifics, you can actually learn quite a bit about a person by what he or she chooses to emphasize.
Keep in mind that political advertisements are the culmination of months (or years) of campaigning, and reflect the input of a cadre of experienced advisers. Although these advisers are often driven by polling and pressure-tested messages, for the most part positive ads reflect the character and interests of the candidate.
Thirty seconds isn't nearly long enough to get to know somebody, but it's the distilled essence of how that candidate chooses to present him or herself. That's valuable.
Of far less value are negative ads. Before getting to their message, they announce themselves with low light, flat colors, blurry images and minor keys. They're more an appeal to emotion as to reason, and they're often ugly.
Negative ads have always been a part of campaigns, but recent state and federal campaign finance "reforms" have created a veritable industry of independent political groups in the past two election cycles.
Because of the byzantine tax and campaign finance rules that govern them, they're never direct in their message ("call fill-in-the-blank and ask him ee") or clear about their source ("paid for by Citizens for Good Things"). Because they aren't tied to a candidate, these groups can be more aggressive and looser with facts. A candidate who did the same thing could expect to be punished at the ballot box.
Make no mistake about it: These ads are a direct consequence of campaign finance "reforms" passed a half decade ago both at the state and federal level. While the promise of such measures was to "get big money out of politics" and clean up political campaigns, political money has simply been redirected to other sources.
The reason is simple. By capping what candidates can raise and spend, the new rules force money into outside groups. The same amount of money (if not more) is ultimately spent on campaigns, but a higher percentage is controlled by special interests.
This is what happens when government tries to regulate free speech. People are going to find a way to say what's on their mind, even if they have to jump through legal hoops to do it. Far better to allow more speech, disclose the sources of contributions, allow candidates to speak for themselves — and then let voters be the judge. It's better by the First Amendment, and it provides better information to citizens.

Wonder Woman may still be a few months away, but the film's buzz is definitely high. Talk of the appearance of the god of war, Ares, as a main villain has only added to the anticipation. That said, there may actually be one of other figure of importance that will show his face in the film. That figure is Bruce Wayne.
'Wonder Woman' Will Be Built On Flashbacks
According to YouTube channel, New Rockstars, #WonderWoman will be built around Diana's flashbacks. It's worth noting that at the beginning of the second Wonder Woman trailer that we see her walking outside of The Louvre in Paris. The glass pyramids that were in the background were completed in 1989 (long after World War I) according to the New Rockstars video, which means that we will be seeing some of Diana in present day, and one that potentially has a job at The Louvre. Remember, she does have involvement in the antique business, as noted in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Even with all of that said, there is one particular item that triggers Diana's memory and that will propel the film.
Bruce Wayne Likes To Mail
The picture above is from the second Wonder Woman trailer and appears to be Diana looking at the picture of herself seen in #BatmanVSuperman. Now, here's where things get really interesting. Eric Voss of the New Rockstars YouTube channel points out an overlooked detail about this shot. In the left side of the shot we can see a note. While the note is hard to officially make out, the logo at the top of the note is the unmistakable logo of Wayne Enterprises. So, Bruce is assumed to have mailed Diana the original photo of her as Wonder Woman that Lex Luthor had somehow gotten his hands on. I guess Bruce has a thing for mailing stuff, considering he emailed this same picture to Diana back in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. That said, this small appearance of Bruce Wayne through the form of a letter is means much more than just keeping the picture safe.
Wonder Woman Is In Confusion
Justice League director #ZackSnyder recently spoke to USA Today about Wonder Woman's evolution leading into the massive superhero team-up film. More importantly Snyder states that in Wonder Woman Diana comes to terms with a brutal truth:
"Humanity isn't always the most kind and awesome thing."
In fact, it seems as if World War I actual causes Wonder Woman to become almost unwillingly to engage with human conflicts ever again. This is proven is Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice where Wonder Woman doesn't decide to join the fight until the very last minute. Perhaps out of guilt? Even after the fight when she was standing next to Bruce at Superman's funeral she seemed reluctant to fight, as Bruce hashed out his plan to go looking for other meta-humans. Diana then states the following that maybe they don't want to be found and more importantly states her reluctance to form this so-called team:
"A hundred years ago, I walked away from mankind. From a century of horrors. Men made a world where standing together is impossible."
Sounds pretty reluctant to me. That said, what if Bruce sending the original picture to Diana was his way of showing her that she can trust him and trust in mankind again. Perhaps Diana may find the letter at the end of Wonder Woman and this is how she will be convinced to help Bruce?
Final Thoughts
While there are still many details of Wonder Woman that remain a mystery, I believe two to be true. One, that Wonder Woman will be built on flashbacks. Two, that we will officially see Diana regain her faith in humanity again after a little push from Bruce Wayne. Most importantly, I believe we will see a great overall film in Wonder Woman.
What do you think? Will Bruce Wayne have a big impact on Diana? Let me know in the comments down below.

text: As a newbie (okay I will not write this again, you all know I'm a newbie by now ;-), I don't understood what the problem of a pure functional GUI is. To me, having an imperative background, a graphical application is just a big tree of data that evolves when events from the OS come in. (this data is NOT per se the data for the GUI element; instead use the model-view-controller design pattern) In Haskell, instead of mutating the data (as done in C/C++), a infinite stream of this tree-data is generated responding to an infinite steam of events, as in Paul's SOE book (the reactive stuff). Since most of the data can be shared, the performance impact should be minimal. So could you please tell me more about the problem with pure functional GUIs and why this is not part of the Haskell library? I mean a GUI library completely written in Haskell, not wrapping a popular library.

Scottsdale, AZ (PressExposure) August 03, 2007 -- One day in the near future, a team of physicians and nurses will travel in boats up the Amazon, to isolated villages. As they provide health care services, they use computers to record patient medical records, providing the medical histories to future visiting teams.
Soon after, another medical team will travel via horseback over the mountains in Guatemala to remote villages. Suspecting heart issues with some patients, they send data to specialists in NY to review, all from a mountaintop with only battery powered equipment.
Creating affordable technology to bring quality health care to the third world has been the dream of Rogers Hellman, founder of Charlottesville Virginia based Gnosis, LLC. Although based in Charlottesville, Rogers has traveled extensively over the last 3 years. He has been researching the needs of medical clinics in remote regions. Accurate patient records/histories was a common request, as was the ability to consult with specialists and convey the information. With this in mind Rogers put together a team to produce a portable medical records system that identifies patients using their fingerprint. In many developing countries people have no identification numbers and there can be issues such as a language barrier to getting effective treatment.
Not only has Gnosis built a highly portable medical records system, but the data is fed into a mapping system that can display disease patterns and trends. Rogers' vision is for most, if not all of the developing world clinics, to have these systems. The health of the individuals will be greatly enhanced by virtue of having retrievable medical histories. Giving local health care providers access to specialists anywhere in the world, improves the health services that much more.
Rogers' dream is manifesting now. The system is in use at 7 test sites around Guatemala. He reports that the early results of the field tests are very encouraging. âNot perfect, if everything were perfect, you would know that something was wrong. There are just enough small problems to let us know we are human, but we did a pretty good job with the design and implementation. These minor issues should be resolved in the coming weeks. Then we will work with a few more clinics, then a few more. Eventually we want to open up to the whole worldâ.
Gnosis has also developed a prototype system that takes the consolidated medical data and renders a map of the world, showing disease patterns and trends. Rogers wants to expand the prototype to include alarms system to alert authorities when conditions warrant it. This system could filter out ânoiseâ and see patterns before humans could. Having an alarm that alerts authorities at the first occurrence of a vector borne illness, would be huge. Or identifying outbreaks at the earliest possible moment.
Gnosis refers to this group of projects as the Gnosis Medical Project. It is an all encompassing plan to change the way diseases are viewed and treatment is rendered. Helping them in this effort, has been the Axis Open Source Corporation. Axis provided their expertise in web application development to produce the software used at each clinic. Dr. John Horn, CEO of Axis Open Source told us: âIt is sort of difficult to call customer support when deep in the Amazon or up in the Andes. We wanted the system to work correctly and be easy to use, right out of the box.â
We also used the biometric software and products from Atlanta based, M2SYS. Proper identification of patients was a fundamental problem that needed to be addressed. In developing countries, people do not have a social security number. Addresses are nonexistent and most people do not know their date of birth. Given that, a biometric solution such as fingerprints was the only way to do this. The products from M2Sys were easy to incorporate and use.
The development work for the disease mapping software was done by Ecomby. A Guatemalan software firm specializing in Open Source applications. Bryan Garcia, owner of Ecomby is happy to be a part of a project where the people of Guatemala stand to benefit.
About Gnosis LLC Gnosis Medical Services seeks to improve the quality of health care in developing areas of the world by enabling health care providers in these areas to better manage medical treatment.

In the world of criminal law, defendants can plead not guilty, guilty or nolo contendere—no contest—to the charges against them. If they plead not guilty, a trial follows. If they plead guilty or nolo contendere, the criminal court system treats both as a conviction, even though a nolo contendere plea means the person neither contests the charges nor admits they are true.
And then there's the quirky realm of school employment, in which a wrinkle in the legislation governing who may work at schools means a no-contest plea isn't necessarily a conviction.
Recent case: Edward Cahoon worked as a custodian for a California school district. At some point, he was charged with a minor drug violation. He pleaded no contest to the charge of altering a prescription for a controlled substance.
Cahoon was fired under a provision of state law that said a conviction for a drug-related offense disqualified him from school employment.
He appealed, pointing out he had not technically pleaded guilty. His lawyers said that when it comes to school employment, the Legislature had specified that a "nolo" plea to a sex offense equaled a conviction, but was silent on other offenses.
The Court of Appeal of California agreed with Cahoon and ruled that the plea wasn't grounds to fire him. (Cahoon v. Governing Board of Ventura Unified School District, No. B207649, Court of Appeal of California, 2nd Appellate District, 2009)
Final note: This area of the law is undergoing change. Already, many licensing bodies have lobbied the Legislature for clearer rules spelling out that a nolo contendere plea really does equal a conviction. Check with your attorney before taking action based on such a plea.

9645Disclosure of Wrongful Conduct
The Board of Education recognizes its fiduciary responsibility to ensure an environment of sound fiscal management in the district. To this end, the board establishes an avenue for employees, students, and members of the public to report wrongdoing or suspected wrongdoing to the Audit Committee, in such a way as to ensure the confidentiality of the source.
The procedure for reporting inappropriate financial activities shall be as follows:
1. Complaints
a. Any person with a complaint regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters may report his/her complaint to a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Education. Complaints must be in writing.
b. Employees with concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters may forward those concerns on a confidential and anonymous basis to the Audit Committee.
c. Copies of all communications received under (a) or (b) (reduced to writing if received electronically) by any person other than a member of the Audit Committee shall be promptly forwarded to the Audit Committee in a sealed envelope marked "Confidential."
2. Scope of Matters Covered by these ProceduresThese procedures will cover submitted complaints and concerns on accounting, internal auditing
controls, or auditing matter including, but not limited to the following:
· Fraud or deliberate error in the preparation, evaluation, review or audit of any financial statement of the District;
· Fraud or deliberate error in the recording and maintaining of financial records of the District;
· Deficiencies in or noncompliance with the District's internal accounting controls;
· Misrepresentation or false statements to or by a senior administrator or accountant regarding a matter contained in the financial records, financial reports, or audit reports of the District; and
· Deviation from full and fair reporting of the District's financial condition.
3. Treatment of ComplaintsThe Audit Committee will determine whether a submitted complaint or concern is
appropriate for investigation.All investigation will be conducted by the Audit Committee or such persons as the Audit Committee determines to be appropriate under the direction and oversight of the Audit Committee.All investigation will be conducted in a confidential manner, to the extent possible,
consistent with the need to conduct a complete review.
Any person assigned by the Audit Committee, shall as promptly as possible, report in writing to a member of the Audit Committee the results of any investigation. The audit Committee shall, at its regularly scheduled meetings or at special meetings called at any time, review all reports and shall determine the corrective or disciplinary action, if any, to be taken.
4. Reporting and Retention of Complaints and Investigations
The Audit Committee will maintain a log of all complaints, tracking their receipt, investigation and resolution and shall prepare a periodic summary report thereof for delivery to the Board of Education.

Accordingly, the District shall take no action to terminate or other adverse personnel action against an employee because he or she disclosed information to a governmental body regarding a violation of a law, rule or regulation where the violation: 1) creates and presents a substantial and specific danger to the public health or safety; or 2) is one which the employee reasonable believes to be true and reasonably believes constitutes an improper school district action.
Before reporting any such information to another governmental agency, and in order to obtain the protections of Section 75-b of the Civil Service Law, an employee must make a good faith effort to provide the audit committee, or where the allegations involve the audit committee, to the Board of Education with the information to be disclosed.

Over the course of 13 and 14 July 2016, UK's new Prime Minister, Theresa May, appointed the Secretaries of State who will lead the various Departments of Government.Ā By the end of the process, which was precipitated by the UK's referendum vote to leave the EU, the Cabinet had gained two new Secretaries of State (for "Exiting the European Union" and "International Trade").Ā At the same time, the position of Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change had been abolished, along with the Department which its holder led (DECC).Ā To anyone with a professional interest in energy and climate change policy, this will likely have felt like a backward step.Ā If nothing else, as pointed out by Angus MacNeill, Chair of the House of Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee, it raises some important questions which will need to be answered quickly.
It is, of course, far too early to judge the new Government's approach to any issue.Ā After a period of several months in which relatively little in the way of major policy emerged from DECC (no doubt partly because of pre-referendum stasis), there will be a temptation to fall on anything that the Ministers newly appointed to the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) say in the next few weeks for clues about the future direction of energy and climate change policy ¢ and possibly over-interpret them.Ā The new regime should be judged on its record rather than its name.
In practical terms, it was probably not feasible for an incoming Prime Minister to create two new Secretary of State posts without losing at least one existing one to compensate ¢ and the former Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has lost a significant chunk of its previous responsibilities (higher education, and, presumably, at least some of international trade), so may have needed some additional bulk.Ā Historically, the energy portfolio has had its own Department within Government for over 50 of the last 100 years (variously as the Ministry of Power, 1942-1969; the Department of Energy, 1974-1992; and DECC, 2008-2016).Ā Otherwise (apart from a very brief period in the Ministry of Technology), it has been in the Board of Trade and its successors, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Department of Business, Energy and Regulatory Reform ¢ and now BEIS.Ā If one looks toĀinternational comparisons, practice varies: Germany has a Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy; Denmark has a Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate;Āin Italy, energy is a matter for the Ministry of Economic Development.Ā At EU level of course, DG Energy is very much a Directorate-General in its own right: energy has been a key policy areaĀfor the EU andĀits precursors and it will be an important element in both Brexit negotiations andĀinternational discussions about post-Brexit trade arrangements with the EU and others.
One thing that distinguishes the new configuration from those other occasions when "energy" has not had its own UK Department, is that on this occasion it does at least feature in the name of the Department that is responsible for it.Ā It will undoubtedly form a significant part of BEIS's business.Ā It is true that "climate change" has lost some profile, but it is also noticeable, if one looks at the DECC organogram, that very few DECC teams could be said to have had an exclusively climate change focus (in any case, when DECC was originally created, only those Defra staff working on climate change mitigation joined the new Department: those working on climate change adaptation remained behind).Ā Arguably one of the achievements of DECC (and the period of policy formation that immediately preceded it) was to make climate change considerations part of the mainstream of energy policy-making.Ā The optimistic view would be that with the Climate Change Act 2008 ¢ and its system of carbon budgets, based on work by the independent experts of the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) ¢ well entrenched, there is less need for the symbolism inherent in the name of DECC.Ā One might also add, more cynically, that there was more than one occasion when having responsibility for climate change policy did not stop DECC Ministers from choosing the "less green" option.
But on a more positive note, there are clearly potential advantages in having "business", "energy" and "industrial strategy" in the same Department.Ā As the CCC's Report on the Fifth Carbon Budget made clear, if we are to achieve the kind of reductions in carbon emissions that we need in order to meet the overall goals of the Climate Change Act, not to mention contributing a fair share to the achievement of the aims of the CoP21 Paris Agreement of December 2015, we will need to go a long way beyond the task of decarbonising the electricity generation sector (admittedly still work-in-progress though that is).Ā There is a lot to be done in relation to heat and transport, for example, and the challenges are formidable.Ā Some of this is very much to do with industrial energy use, and having one Department, rather than two, focusing on this area could well make a positive difference (given the inevitable friction that exists between all public sector bodies with shared interests).Ā Maybe it is even not too much to hope, in this context, that the new Government may revisit the decision to abandon large-scale sponsorship of carbon capture and storage, which is thought by many to have more to offer in a wider industrial context than it necessarily does purely in the electricity generation sector.Ā At the same time, a Secretary of State for BEIS (Greg Clark) who has come from the Department of Communities and Local Government may be an asset at a time when it is also becoming clear that some aspects of the development of new energy infrastructure are best considered locally, at least within cities.Ā And "industrial strategy" ¢ unclear as yet though it is what this will involve ¢ could also have a mutually beneficial intra-Departmental relationship with "energy".Ā Finally, given that it is only seven years since DECC was partly carved out of one of BEIS's predecessors, it is to be hoped that this change in the machinery of Government can be accomplished without distracting ex-DECC management too much from the policy agenda (now, of course, supplemented by Brexit).
In the post-Brexit world, nothing is necessarily what it seems.Ā Any or all of the above speculation may be na've or misguided.Ā The new Department should be watched carefully, but today, objectively and at a policy level, it is far too early to say whether (or how much) we should mourn the passing of DECC.

Forecasting VARMA processes: VAR models vs. subspace-based state space models
VAR modelling is a frequent technique in econometrics for assumed linear processes. VAR modelling offers some desirable features such as relatively simple procedures for model specification and the possibility of making a quick and non-iterative maximum likelihood estimation of the system parameters. However, if the process under study follows a finite-order VARMA structure, it cannot be equivalently represented by any finite-order VAR model. On the other hand, a finite-order state space model can represent a finite-order VARMA process exactly, and subspace algorithms allow for a simple specification and quick non-iterative estimates. Given the previous facts, we test in this paper whether subspace-based state space models can provide better forecasts than VAR models when working with VARMA data generating processes. In a simulation study we generate identification samples from different VARMA data generating processes, obtain VAR-based and state-space-based models for each generating process and compare the predictive power of the obtained models. We also conduct a practical comparison (for two cointegrated economic time series) of the predictive power of Johansen restricted-VAR (VEC) models with the predictive power of state space models obtained by the CCA subspace algorithm, including a density forecasting analysis

In church, we're going through the books of Revelation and Ezekiel. Understandably, the "end times" have been on my mind. This isn't a new topic for me. If you know anything about my book, A Time to Die, you know I've tackled the idea of mortality, finitude, temporarity . . .
I am not afraid to die.
However, I don't want to die yet. I don't want to be raptured unless I'm ninety-eight-years-old or older. 🙂 Why? Because I have one chance to be an example of Christ to those who don't know Him. One chance to live out the calling He has placed on my life:
After this life, I will be dwelling in my inheritance as an adopted child of God. Heaven. There are no tears. No suffering. It will be perfect. It will be pure joy. But I don't want Heaven yet. (Tweet this)
It would feel as though I received the gold medal without actually running the race.
Perhaps my heart isn't right. Shouldn't I want only to be with Christ? I hear this so often, especially regarding the rapture — that we should be holding on and longing for His return. Is that how I should feel?
I don't feel it. I feel a shrill banshee scream in my mind saying, "NOOO!" I've only just fallen deeply in love with Christ. I still have stamina in me. I need to pursue people. I need to risk my life, my comfort . . . for Him.
I want to live as long as humanly possible solely so that He will use me, more fully, to reach His people. I want to be with Him in heaven, but this . . . this life . . . is my one chance to be faithful and obedient. I've already wasted years of my life through selfishness, and the moment I step back to look at life through eternal lenses . . . I panic. Because I haven't done for God what I want to yet.
Don't get me wrong. This is, in no way, an attempt to earn my way into heaven. We are saved by grace and salvation doesn't hinge only on my actions. But I want to live a full life for Christ.
This is the only life we have. At most, we have to persevere through one hundred years of imperfection before stepping into eternal rest and perfection. I know I'll get tired someday. I'll hit a point where I long for heaven. But it's already promised to me. So until then, I'll continue striving. Remember: life demands pursuit and God's given you the perfect amount of time with which to catch it. (Tweet this)
What about you? Are you ready for Christ to return and take you home?

The Christmas season just got a lot less joyous in this very dark comedy. Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) is a con man and a thief who teams up with his friend Marcus (Tony Cox), a midget, for a very special scam each year during the holiday season. Willie gets a job as Santa Claus at a shopping mall, his pal tags along as an elf, and they use their employee status to crack mall security and rob stores blind just before Christmas. However, there's one flaw to this plan – Willie is a bitter, foul-mouthed and perpetually grouchy alcoholic who doesn't care for kids, and it's all he can do to keep himself from getting fired while on the job. The mall's manager (John Ritter, in his last film appearance) is certain something's wrong with the Santa he's hired, so he asks the mall's chief of security (Bernie Mac) to do some research on Willie. Meanwhile, one of the kids Willie is forced to talk to becomes a regular customer; overweight, awkward, and the frequent target of bullies, the boy manages to arouse something like sympathy from Willie, who tries to give him some advice and develops something vaguely resembling Christmas sprit along the way.
This DVD project came together when during a break in the touring of the "Marathon World Tour". The Band started to review the untold hours of video and thousands of photos from the tour. None of the video or photos had been shot with the intention of a DVD in mind but after reviewing all of this, the possibility was raised and the editing began. On this "Bootleg DVD" you see the band in true live form, in fact there are no corrections or overdubs on this show, many of the times the band did not even have the knowledge that the camera had been rolling until after the show was complete. The "Marathon World Tour" has covered over dozen countries and more shows than the band has performed in several years.
As part of The Definitive Black & Blue Sessions series, alto saxophonist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson is spotlighted on 14 digitally remastered tracks, recorded at Cargo Studio in Paris on March 9, 1969. This straight-ahead session pairs Cleanhead with pianist Jay McShann, Gene Ramey on bass, and McShann's drummer at the time, Paul Gunther. While this disc doesn't contain any unreleased tracks, it does feature several first-rate renditions of Vinson's signature tunes, including "Mr. Cleanhead Blues," "Kidney Stew," and "Juice Head Baby".
"From 'Greensleeves' to 'Jupiter', this selection of music in celebration of England's green and pleasant land will evoke fond memories of summer holidays, end-of-term assemblies and listening to the wireless, a time of pride in our country and its heritage."
