Sullivan V. Gallagher: Catholics Debate LGBT Rights At Georgetown
If you were anywhere near Georgetown University last night [December 8, 2010], you might have felt the earth tremble beneath your feet. In a cavernous auditorium at the revered Catholic institution, to an audience of about 300 students, faculty, and members of the public, Atlantic blogger Andrew Sullivan thanked God for homosexuality.
By Sarah Posner
December 9, 2010
Sullivan was speaking at what was billed as a "family" event -- as in a discussion among fellow Catholics -- co-sponsored by the College Democrats and College Republicans and publicized by the pro-LGBT group Catholics for Equality. With Washington Post columnist and Georgetown professor E.J. Dionne serving as moderator, Sullivan went toe to toe with Maggie Gallagher, the pundit and driving force behind the anti-gay group National Organization for Marriage.
That such an event was held at a Catholic institution was historic, Catholics for Equality founding board member Joe Palacios told me. Palacios, a priest, is also an adjunct professor at Georgetown.
As advertised, the gathering had much in common with a family holiday dinner: passive aggressive recriminations, eye rolls, and a regular playing of the victim card. That, at least, was what Gallagher brought to the table.
Gallagher is insistent upon the primacy of natural law; that God's intent for marriage was for procreation and absent that possibility, marriage isn't marriage. (She offered an exemption for infertility, something about which she has previously written, unconvincingly.) The audience was largely in disagreement with her, but NOM supporters were out in force, passing out buttons that (deceptively) proclaimed in large letters support for "marriage equality;" below, the graphic depicted a man and a woman figure = marriage. That's the equality, for Gallagher. "I do support marriage equality," she said, echoing the button, but "I don't think gay unions are marriage." Someone send them back for a grade school vocabulary lesson.
Only with ice water running through one's veins could one have been unmoved by Sullivan's recounting of his Catholic boyhood, his sexual awakening as an adolescent, and, as he told it, what a lucky bloke he considered himself to be when he discovered sexual desire. As he has done in his writing, Sullivan celebrated his gayness, describing his sexuality as a divine gift, and that "the first person I came out to was God." Even the persistence of the teenage erection was depicted as a wondrous joy. That same-sex sexual desire -- not just civil rights -- is equally celebrated in God's eyes was both a divine (double entendre intended) and human argument to which Gallagher had no decent (again, double entendre intended) rebuttal.
Sexual desire, Gallagher insisted, "is not an appetite, it is a vocation" to create babies. But to dismiss gay desire as just an appetite of course missed the entire point of Sullivan's disquisition on love and the sacredness of his own marriage. As he put it to her, "You keep sexualizing the homosexual relationship in a way that you wouldn't sexualize the heterosexual relationship."
Sullivan, a devout Catholic, condemned the Catholic hierarchy for "dehumanizing" LGBT people through its teachings, which elicited an angry reaction from Gallagher. "One way of making a kid feel awful is to call him intrinsically disordered," was Sullivan's retort. Gallagher attempted to fudge the Catholic teaching on that matter, claiming all are sinners and other sexual sin is also considered disordered. Sullivan further incensed her with his assertion that the reason why the hierarchy has a problem with gay people is that many of them are gay, and then engaged in a fully justifiable rant about the church sex abuse scandals.
Gallagher's chief protest as self-appointed martyr, an article of faith in the religious anti-gay movement, is that LGBT equality spells a lack of freedom for religious people, an effort to "repress and marginalize" them. Yet her own most unseemly moment -- and there were many -- was NOM's distribution of a sheet of paper about Catholics for Equality, "In Their Own Words," intended to smear the group as an anti-Catholic tool of evil liberals. Its most telling portions: two mentions of associations of groups that work with Catholics for Equality with "noted atheist" George Soros. (The sheet also falsely depicted People for the American Way as "an anti-religious group.")
The invoking of Soros was stunning: the standard conservative false smear against Soros is that he betrayed his own Jewish people to the Nazis, while another popularized falsehood in the anti-gay movement centers on an attempt to link homosexuality to Nazism. There was, of course, no need to debate Catholics for Equality's mission by mentioning Soros. The fact that NOM did speaks to an effort to deploy conservative tropes about who is or isn't the "real" religious person, and to drop code that political adversaries betray God to support evil.
But it was Gallagher who had the gall to call out Catholics for Equality in her prepared remarks. "There is still time to repent," she said without a shred of self-reflection. "Truth and love will prevail."

Since the release, the Samsung 5 Chromebook News kept bringing under the spotlight some of the laptop's more budget-based contenders. For now, at least, there's no actual competitor in the Samsung 5 Chromebook market that manages to come even close when it comes to the quality-price ratio.
Google and Acer released a $199 Chromebook, and even if it's half the price of Samsung 5 Chromebook, there is a lot that's missing from a device that promises a great user experience. The new Chromebook has been selling for more than two weeks now, but users are not impressed with the cost-effective price tag, noticing there's a lot they'd like to have even for $199.
As opposed to the $499 Samsung Chromebook 550, the $199 Acer Chromebook comes with a slower processor, low battery life 2GB RAM and no NAND storage. Many argued Chromebooks would be better (even if pricier) if they would pack the 8+ hours minimum of battery life. Acer's $199 Chromebook has a battery life of only 3.5 hours.
Although not impressive in DDR3 RAM memory, the $199 Acer Samsung does offer a 100GB subscription to Google Drive for two years. But whereas other Chromebooks feature the offer more of a bonus, Acer's Chromebook's is a necessity if you want to use it as an actual laptop. It's also not a great deal, seeing as you're likely going to pay $120 a month for that 100GB on Google Drive to keep everything you stored for two years.
For now at least, it's obvious there isn't a contender in the news to Samsung 5 Chromebook.

The design for my Antarctica flag was based on the designs of the many flags from different countries that have bases in Antarctica. The center of the flag was a mix of the different centers of flags. The sun was from Argentina, the wheel was from India and the big red dot and stars was from China. The Y shape was from South Africa, the cross was from England and Australia. I chose the colors based on the colors of the flags. These are the reasons why I made my Antarctica flag the way I made it.

Esher's new man recalls his Scottish glory days in the 1990 Five Nations
8:00am Saturday 24th August 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton
Craig Chalmers is fondly remembered among Scotland fans for his 33 points in the all-conquering Five Nations Grand Slam side of 1990.
Moreover, in the slam decider at Murrayfield against England, Chalmers' three penalties sealed a 13-7 Calcutta Cup win over his side's arch-rivals.
In 60 international appearances, Chalmers would never reach the same heights, making the memory of March 17 all the more sweet – especially as no Scottish side has repeated the feat in 23 years.
"It was good fun and a time I will never forget," Chalmers said.
"It was the only time I ever beat England at international level.
"We drew in 1989 in my second game at Twickenham, but we won in 1990.
"I think Will Carling, Brian Moore and the like still have nightmares about it, even though they beat us every year for many years after that.
"It was a great day for Scottish rugby and it was the last time the Grand Slam was won, so it is a memory I will always keep in my back pocket."

State of the Arts
In the past year Neel Desai has been interviewed by C-SPAN and flown to D.C. to chat up Sen. Bernie Sanders [1] and other lawmakers. Not bad for an eighth-grader.
Desai and two fellow students at South Burlington's Frederick H. Tuttle Middle School, Riya Patel and Ronak Bhagat, won third prize in C-SPAN's national StudentCam Video Competition [2], the political cable network announced last week. Entrants were asked to create a video clip that sends "a message to the new president" identifying "the most urgent issue ... to address after taking office, and why." Desai, Patel and Bhagat focused on the financial crisis. A second team from Tuttle, Samantha Barrett, Hunter Riehle and Meghan Drouin, snagged C-SPAN's honorable mention for a video that also zeroed in on "Money Matters."
This is the second national student video award in the past six months for Desai and Patel. Last fall, they joined Lea Thali and Elizabeth Lee on one of three first-prize-winning teams in a contest run by education-tech publication eSchool News [3] and sponsored by the Pearson Foundation.
In the eSchool News video, students were asked to illustrate "How Technology Helps Me to Learn," a topic that sounds about as exciting as the classic "How I Spent My Summer Vacation." The Tuttle team jazzed it up by taking an imaginary trip back to 1983 to demonstrate just how much info-tech has transformed classrooms. A heavy dose of "Daily Show"-correspondent-style humor helped.
Teacher Jay Hoffman attributes that waggishness to the influence of the students' then-coach, UVM student Louis Armistead (who was making his own videos [4] for Seven Days at the time). "They were the perfect CNN kids until Lou got hold of them," Hoffman says with a chuckle. "They had fun with it and just took a chance."
Desai, Patel and Bhagat took a similar approach in their winning C-SPAN video: They staged a trip into a Second Great Depression future where Americans live in tents and vie for jobs paying $1.25 per hour. Using green-screen technology and Final Cut Express editing software, the students put themselves on Wall Street and then into a bleak futurescape.
Tuttle's impressive media lab is the brainchild of Hoffman, who started the school's broadcasting program five years ago. In his 14th year of teaching, he says he's not a techie but a "misplaced shop teacher." Hoffman "saw as the years went by that kids needed to be workforce ready, and shop was not giving them that," he recalls. So he got grants, "changed [his] lab to a totally digital studio," and brought in technicians from Burlington's RETN to teach students how to use the equipment.
Today, Hoffman teaches broadcasting and meets each morning with a handpicked group of 10 students to produce a weekly live show called South Burlington Network News [5] (SBNN), which airs on RETN (Channel 16) on Sundays at 7 p.m. He says the program is "an opportunity for me to teach kids 21st-century skills" and for the students to "get involved in their community."
And, of course, to win contests. This year, Hoffman says, the C-SPAN competition had "close to 1000 entries, a 300 percent increase over last year." As themed video contests and students with cameras multiply, maybe the rest of the country is catching up to Tuttle.

What does everyone think do i get 2560x1440 or 1080 120hz both are about the same price *running a gigabyte gtx 680 superclocked*
no i dont wanna play 3D i wear glasses already and 3d glasses never fit over the top lol these are my choices of 1440 monitors https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-001-DG&groupid=595&catid=670&subcat= https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-010-HO&groupid=595&catid=670&subcat=
They make 3D clip-on glasses, its what I use with my Dads 3D movies cause I wear big thick glasses myself.
Internally they are the same. B grade means you might get several dead pixels though. I'm not sure if they are covered in the warranty.
+1: Best advice right here. If you don't need the higher refresh rate you're going to love the higher resolution. Either way, be prepared to get a nice display.
Yeah I did the same choice a few months ago. Went for a 24" 16:10 IPS screen instead of 3D and I think it was a wise choice since I don't watch any 3D stuff plus now I got better colours than classic LCD yey! When I bought my older Samsung LCD 4 years ago I thought I had a good screen. Well now I know lol... thought I'm pretty sure that even plain LCD LED screens at £150 do a better job than those older models.

Security & Surveillance Cameras
Unlike Closed Circuit Cameras, IP Surveillance Cameras or Network Security Cameras can be defined as the transmission of video utilizing open internet protocols and standards for the purpose of recording and monitoring remotely, typically via the Internet. This should not be confused with more proprietary methodologies of transmitting video in which only the manufacturer of the camera can decode the video for the purpose of recording and/or display. Many IP Security Cameras (also called Internet Cameras, but not to be confused with Web Cams) provide software that allows the cameras image to viewed in client software or a web browser - in some cases IP security cameras also include microphones so you can hear not just see.
The first IP camera was released in 1996 by Axis Communications, which had an embedded Linux computer internal in the camera. This open architecture encouraged third-party software manufacturers to develop management and recording software resulting in exponential growth of the IP Video Surveillance market.
Today there are many vendors of wired and wireless IP cameras, digital video recorders, network video recorder (NVR) software, and accessories, including: D-Link, Linksys, Lorex, Plustek, TRENDnet, and others . IP surveillance camera vendors include both specialized digital imaging equipment manufacturers and larger manufacturers that are active in consumer, broadcast, and security video.

Villanova 20, William & Mary 16: John Robertson ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 28 seconds remaining to rally the Wildcats past the visiting Tribe.
Robertson passed for 154 yards and added 70 more on the ground for Villanova (3-2, 2-0 Colonial Athletic Association), which is ranked 21st in the FCS Coaches Poll. Kevin Monangal ran for 93 yards of the team's 179 rushing yards.
Quarterback Michael Graham passed for a touchdown before leaving with an injury in the first half, and John Carpenter kicked three field goals for William & Mary (3-2, 1-1).
The Tribe held a 10-3 halftime lead on the strength of Graham's 8-yard touchdown pass to Sean Ballard and a field goal by Carpenter. That touchdown followed an interception by Robertson, just his third of the season.
Robertson also lost a fumble that set up Carpenter's second field goal and gave William & Mary a 13-3 lead in the third quarter. Austin Medley cut the gap to 13-10 with a 13-yard run a little more than a minute later, and the teams swapped fourth-quarter field goals before Robertson led the Wildcats on the game-winning 13-play, 80-yard drive.

Chapter 20—
Technical Standards and Medieval Manuscripts
Eric Hollas
Medieval manuscripts-that is, handwritten codices produced between the fifth century and the late fifteenth century-are counted among the greatest intellectual treasures of western civilization. Manuscripts are significant to scholars of medieval culture, art historians, calligraphers, musicologists, paleographers, and other researchers for a multiplicity of reasons. They contain what remains of the classical literary corpus; and they chronicle the development of religion, history, law, philosophy, language, and science from the Middle Ages into early modern times.
Even though manuscripts represent the most voluminous surviving artifact from the Middle Ages, the very nature of this resource presents challenges for usage. Each manuscript-as a handwritten document-is a unique creation. As such, copies of a particular work may contain variances that make all copies-wherever they might be-necessary for review by an interested scholar. Also, access to unique manuscripts that are spread across several countries or continents can be both costly and limited. A scholar wishing to consult manuscripts must often travel throughout Europe, the United States, and other countries to find and study manuscripts of interest. Such research is costly and time-consuming. The universities, museums, and libraries that own these manuscripts may lack the space and personnel to accommodate visiting scholars, and in some cases research appointments need to be arranged months in advance. Compounding these difficulties can be the challenge of inconvenient geography. While eminent collections reside in the great capitals of Europe, other collections of scholarly interest are housed in remote sites with no easy access at all. And finally, the uniqueness of each manuscript presents special issues of preservation. Because manuscripts represent finite and nonrenewable resources, librarians concerned with the general wear and tear on manuscripts have begun to restrict access to these codices.
In an effort to preserve medieval manuscripts and to create broader and more
economical access to their contents, many libraries have in recent decades sought to provide filmed copies of their manuscripts to users. This practice has been a long-established one at such institutions as the British Library, the Bibliotheque National, and the Vatican Library. Additionally, some libraries have been established for the specific purpose of microfilming manuscript collections. The Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes in Paris, for example, for decades has been filming the manuscripts of the provincial libraries in France. Since its founding in 1965, the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library (HMML) at Saint John's University in Minnesota has filmed libraries in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Malta, and Ethiopia. And at the Vatican Film Library at Saint Louis University, one can find microfilms of 37,000 manuscript codices from the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Rome. Instead of traveling from country to country and from library to library, researchers may make a single trip to one of these microfilm libraries to consult texts, or in certain circumstances, they may order microfilm copy by mail. Microfilm was a great step forward in providing access to manuscripts, and it still offers tremendous advantages of economy and democratic access to scholars. Still, there are certain limitations because in some situations researchers must visit the microfilm institutions to consult directly, and the purchase of microfilm-even if ordered from a distance-can entail long waits for delivery. And compounding these difficulties can be the inconsistency or inadequacy of existing descriptions of medieval manuscripts.
Access to manuscripts in particular collections is guided by the finding aids that have been developed through the centuries. The medieval shelf list has given way to the modern catalog in most cases, but challenges in locating particular manuscripts and in acquiring consistent information abound. Traditionally, libraries in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere have published manuscript catalogs to describe their handwritten books. These catalogs are themselves scholarly works that combine identification of texts with a description of the codex as a physical object. Although these catalogs are tremendously valuable to scholars, they are not without their shortcomings. With respect to manuscript catalogs, there is presently no agreement within the medieval community on the amount and choice of detail reported, on the amount of scholarly discussion provided, and on the format of presentation. Moreover, to consult these published books in the aggregate requires access to a research library prepared to maintain an increasingly large collection of expensive and specialized books. And beyond that, the production of a modern catalog requires expertise of high caliber and the financial resources that facilitate the work. Because many libraries do not have such resources available, many collections have gone uncataloged or have been cataloged only in an incomplete fashion. The result for the scholar is a paucity of the kind of information that makes manuscript identification and location possible.
Existing and emerging electronic technologies present extraordinary opportunities for overcoming these challenges and underscore the need to create a longterm vision for the Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts project. Electronic
access both to manuscript images and to bibliographic information presents remarkable opportunities. For one, the distance between the manuscript and the reader vanishes-providing the opportunity for a researcher anywhere to consult the image of a manuscript in even the remotest location. Second, electronic access obviates the security issues and the preservation concerns that accompany usage. Furthermore, electronic access will permit the scholar to unite the parts of a manuscript that may have been taken apart, scattered, and subsequently housed at different sites. It also allows for image enhancement and manipulation that conventional reproductions simply do not make available. Electronic access will also make possible comprehensive searches of catalog records, research information, texts, and tools-with profound implications in terms of cost to the researcher and a more democratic availability of materials to a wider public.
One may imagine a research scenario that contrasts sharply with the conventional methods that have been the mainstay of manuscript researchers. Using a personal computer in an office, home, educational institution, or library, scholars will be able to log on to a bibliographic utility (i.e., RLIN or OCLC) or to an SGML database on the World Wide Web and browse catalog records from the major manuscript collections around the world. To make this vision a reality requires adherence to standards, however-content standards to ensure that records include the information that scholars need and encoding standards to ensure that that information will be widely accessible both now and in the future.
This point may be demonstrated by considering several computer cataloging projects developed since the mid-1980s. These efforts include the Benjamin Catalogue for the History of Science, the International Computer Catalog of Medieval Scientific Manuscripts in Munich, the Zentralinventar Mittelalterlicher Handschriften (ZIH) at the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, MEDIUM at the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes in Paris, and PhiloBiblon at the University of California, Berkeley. The Hill Monastic Manuscript Library has also embarked on several electronic projects to increase and enhance scholarly access to its manuscript resources. In 1985, Thomas Amos, then Cataloger of Western Manuscripts at HMML, began development of the Computer Assisted Cataloging Project, a relational database that he used to catalog manuscripts from Portuguese libraries filmed by HMML.
These electronic databases as well as others from manuscript institutions around the world represent an enormous advancement in scholarly communication in the field of manuscript studies. As in the case of printed catalogs and finding aids, however, these data management systems fall short of the ideal on several counts. First, each is a local system that must be consulted on-site or purchased independently. Second, the development and maintenance of these various databases involve duplication of time, money, and human resources. All rely on locally developed or proprietary software, which has posed problems for the long-term maintenance and accessibility of the information. Finally, and probably most important, each system contains its own unique set of data elements and
rules and procedures for data entry and retrieval. When each of these projects was begun, its founders decided independently what information to record about a manuscript, how to encode it, and how to retrieve it. Each of the databases adopted a different solution to the basic problems of description and indexing, and the projects differed from each other with regard to completeness of the data entered and the modes in which it could be retrieved.
The lessons to be drawn from these experiences are clear and enunciate the hazards for the future if approaches distinctively different from the ones now being used are not pursued. First of all, local institutions could not maintain locally developed software and systems. In the instances of projects that chose to rely on proprietary software, it became apparent that the latter was dependent on support from the manufacturer, whose own longevity in business could not be guaranteed or who could easily abandon such software programs when advances provided new opportunities. Furthermore, experience has demonstrated that such material is not always easily translated into other formats, and if modified, it poses the same problems of maintenance as locally developed software. Beyond that, different projects made substantially different decisions about record content, and those decisions were sometimes influenced by the software that was available. This lack of consistency made it difficult to disseminate the information gathered by each project, and for their part funding agencies were reluctant to continue their support for such limited projects. All of which reiterates the fundamental need for content standards to ensure that records include the information that scholars need and encoding standards to ensure the wide accessibility of that information both now and into the future. It is the objective of Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts to address these issues.
Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts is sponsored by the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, Saint John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota, in association with the Vatican Film Library, Saint Louis University, and has been funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It is a three-year project to develop guidelines for cataloging medieval and renaissance manuscripts in electronic form. For this purpose it has assembled an international team of experts in manuscript studies and library and information science that will examine the best current manuscript cataloging practice in order to identify the information appropriate to describing and indexing manuscripts on two levels, core and detailed. Core-level descriptions, which will contain the basic or minimum elements required for the identification of a manuscript, will be useful for describing manuscripts that have not yet been fully cataloged, and may also be used to give access to detailed descriptions or to identify the sources of digital images or other information extracted from manuscripts. Guidelines for detailed or full descriptions will be designed to accommodate the kinds of information found in full scholarly manuscript cataloging.
In addition to suggesting guidelines for content, Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts will also develop standards for encoding both core-level and detailed
manuscript descriptions in both MARC and SGML. The MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging) format underlies most electronic library catalogs in North America and the United Kingdom, and it is used also as a vehicle for international exchange of bibliographic information. MARC bibliographic records are widely accessible through local and national databases, and libraries with MARC-based cataloging systems can be expected to maintain them for the foreseeable future. SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a platform-independent and extremely flexible way of encoding electronic texts for transmission and indexing. It supports the linking of texts and images, and SGML-encoded descriptions are easily converted to HTML for display on the World Wide Web. In developing standards for SGML encoding of manuscript descriptions, Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts will work closely with the Digital Scriptorium, a project sponsored jointly by the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Butler Library at Columbia University.
The project working group for Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts consists of representatives from a number of North American and European institutions. Drafts produced by the working group will be advertised and circulated to the international community of manuscript scholars for review and suggestions. The cataloging and encoding guidelines that result from the work of the project will be made freely available to any institution that wishes to use them.
For the purposes of Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts, the standards for cataloging medieval manuscripts are crucial, but so too is the application of content standards to the two encoding standards whose existence and ubiquitous usage address the issues noted earlier. At the risk of stating the obvious, Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts has chosen to work with two existing and widely used encoding standards because it is unwise for medievalists to reinvent the wheel and waste resources on solutions that are temporary and that will require added resources to take them into future applications.
With regard to encoding standards, the universal acceptance of MARC and the accessibility of MARC records on-line make it a particularly attractive option. But other compelling reasons make MARC an excellent choice. First, most libraries already have access to a bibliographic utility (such as OCLC and RLIN) that utilizes MARC-based records, and these institutions have invested considerable resources in creating catalog records for their printed books and other collections. Second, since most catalog records for printed books and reference materials are already in MARC-based systems, placing manuscript records in the same system makes good sense from the standpoint of proximity and one-stop searching. Third, by using MARC, local libraries need not develop or maintain their own database systems. Finally, although it may be unrealistic to expect that all manuscript catalog records will one day reside in a single database, therefore allowing for a universal search of manuscript records, it is likely that a majority of manuscript institutions in the United States will be willing to place their manuscript records in this bibliographic utility rather than in other existing environments.
Thus the value of selecting MARC as an encoding standard seems clear. MARC systems exist; they are widely accessible; they are supported by other, broader interests; and enough bibliographic data already exists in MARC to guarantee its maintenance or its automatic transfer to any future platform. A significant number of records for medieval manuscripts or microfilms of them, prepared and entered by the various institutions that hold these items, already exist in USMARC (RLIN and OCLC databases). Regrettably, there is generally little consistency in description, indexing, or retrieval for these records, which points back to the need for content standards as well as encoding standards. Furthermore, MARC as it currently exists has limits in its abilities to describe medieval manuscripts (e.g., it does not provide for the inclusion of incipits), but nonetheless it offers possibilities for short records that point to broader sets of data in other contexts. Still, MARC, with its records in existing bibliographic databases, is particularly advantageous for small institutions with few manuscript holdings, and it remains for them perhaps the most promising vehicle for disseminating information about their collections.
The second viable encoding option, particularly in light of the recent success of the Archival Finding Aid Project at the University of California, Berkeley, is the use of SGML. As a universal standard for encoding text, SGML can be used to encode and index catalog records and other data including text, graphics, images, and multimedia objects such as video and sound. A more flexible tool than MARC, SGML is more easily adapted to complex hierarchical structures such as traditional descriptions of medieval manuscripts, and it offers broad possibilities for encoding and indexing existing, as well as new, manuscript catalogs. As an encoding scheme, SGML demonstrates its value as a nonproprietary standard. In many respects it is much more flexible than MARC or any established database program, and it is possible to write a Document Type Definition (DTD) that takes into account the particular characteristics of any class of document. SGML offers the further advantage that encoded descriptions can be linked directly to digital images, sound clips (e.g., for musical performances), or other bodies of digital information relating to a manuscript. Numerous initiatives using SGML suggest great promise for the future. The experience of the American archival profession with the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) suggests that the latter can be a good approach to encoding manuscript descriptions, which have many structural analogies to archival finding aids. The Canterbury Tales project, based at Oxford, has demonstrated that SGML, based on a Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) format, can be used successfully to give sophisticated access to images of manuscripts, text transcriptions, and related materials. In addition, several English libraries have already experimented with SGML DTDs, mostly TEI-conformational, for manuscripts. And finally, MASTER, an Oxford-based group, is interested in developing a standard DTD for catalog descriptions of medieval manuscripts, and it and Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts have begun to coordinate their efforts toward achieving this common goal.
The emerging interconnectivity of MARC and SGML presents tremendous opportunities for Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts. Currently there is work on a DTD for the MARC format that will allow automatic conversion of MARC-encoded records into SGML. Recently, a new field (856) was added to the MARC record that will accommodate Web addresses. Implementation of this field will allow researchers seeking access to a cataloging record in a bibliographic utility to read the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and then enter the address into a Web browser and link directly to a Web site containing a detailed manuscript record or other scholarly information. In the future, researchers who enter the bibliographic utility through a Web browser will find field 856 to be an active hypertext link. Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts envisions an environment in which institutions can enter their manuscript catalog records into MARC, display them in a bibliographic utility to maximize economy and access, and then embed a hypertext link to a more detailed catalog record, an image file, or scholarly information on an SGML server.
The cumulative experience of recent years has shaped the development and goals of Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts. Concerned with arriving at standards for cataloging manuscripts in an electronic environment, the project seeks to provide standards for both core-level and full, or detailed, manuscript records that will serve the expectations and needs of scholars who seek consistent information from one library to another; at the same time, these standards will afford flexibility to those catalogers and libraries wishing to provide various levels of information about their individual manuscripts. In structuring its program and goals, Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts also has sought to arrive at guidelines for encoding into MARC and SGML formats that will provide useful, economic, and practical long-term alternatives to the libraries that select one of these options in the future.

Then this is "medium" IMO. There are algorithms out there that have reasonable performance on a large majority of inputs. The algorithms aren't too complex, however they're also not that amenable to the standard source representations that most diff systems use. There are also probably algorithms that have better performance on a much smaller subset of inputs.Metasyntactic wrote:

However, the momemnt you start asking for "large majority of inputs" you will have to come up with something decent as that means throwing inputs at an algorithm that could cause it to choke.

The Longwood Village Inn - one of Central Florida's most historic buildings - is for sale in anticipation of the opening of SunRail. The hotel, which is said to be haunted, is listed at $2.2 million.
The arrival of SunRail could give Longwood's historic hotel a chance to return to its former glory.
Anticipating the commuter train's start in 2014, the owners of the Longwood Village Inn — one of the oldest structures in Central Florida — have put the building on the market for $2.2 million in the hope that someone might turn it into a restaurant, bar or bed-and-breakfast.
Built around 1885, the hotel opened during Central Florida's railroad boom, and it became a winter resort for business tycoons from the North.
The three-story building on Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Longwood's historic district is now used for offices. But Lenny Layland of InvestOrlando Realty, who's part owner of the building, said he believes the commuter line could make the hotel a destination once again.
"With SunRail, there's a lot of great opportunities and expectation of growth of this area and historic Longwood."
The 15,000-square-foot building — less than two blocks from the site of the city's SunRail station —has more than 30 rooms, six bathrooms, a wraparound porch, large windows, winding staircases with antique banisters, two chandeliers and an elevator.
And it has one more unusual feature: the persistent legend that it's haunted by the spirit of George Clark, a former owner who had a fatal accident during an ice-cream social in 1923. Over the years, ghost hunters from various paranormal societies and TV shows have staked out the building.
Throughout the decades, the inn, which is the region's only surviving wooden hotel from railroad-resort days and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has gone through several name changes and has housed tourists, gamblers and politicians.
In the 1970s, the hotel had fallen into disrepair, and a group of Longwood preservationists rescued it from demolition. After a million-dollar restoration, it reopened in 1986 as an office building. A private equity fund that Layland manages bought it in 2006 for $1.3 million.
The Longwood Village Inn — the official name of the building even though it's not a hotel — now holds the offices of InvestOrlando, several attorneys, newly elected state Rep. Mike Clelland, a psychic and a massage therapist.
Because the building is in a historic district, any buyer will be prevented from making drastic changes.
"What's there is what's there," said Tom Redditt, a member of the Central Florida Society of Historical Preservation. "Whoever buys it is going to be very restricted."
Redditt operates the Cottage Gift Shop, across the street from the Village Inn, with his wife, Pam. As a shop owner, Redditt said, he's in favor of bringing more retail to the historic district, which has little foot-traffic most days.
"A retail type of business would help," he said.
City Commissioner Joe Durso agreed. Turning the Longwood Village Inn into a restaurant for rail passengers and residents and drawing outsiders to the historic district would benefit the city, he said.
"We would absolutely much rather have a restaurant, a bar or a gathering place of some kind," Durso said. "We'd love to have something more productive."
Layland said he has received a few inquiries on the property, including a recent one from a group interested in turning it into an assisted-living facility. Nothing came of it.
He said he has no interest in turning the building into a restaurant or B&B himself because his business is focused on real estate, not redevelopment.
But Layland said he is willing to sweeten the pot for a prospective buyer. If someone wants the building, Layman said, he will throw in the ghost for free.

Hi, So I have an i3-2120 and a gtx460. I was thinking about adding a dedicated PsychX card to do all the PsychX things. I might be planning to play some PsychX games. So I am planning to get a gts 8400 to be my PscychX card would it drop my fps or give me a boost of at least 10 fps. I also have a 650w corsair would I have to buy a new PSU? I have: (x5) HDD IDE & SATA (x4) Fans (x1) DVD Drive
IIRC you don't need a dedicated PhysX card as you are running Nvidia, if you want more performance move up the Nvidia ladder
Oh I just saw a good deal on the 8400 gts and thought if I bought that for my setup would it improve it with at least a 10fps gain and if I need to upgrade my PSU.
set your current gpu to handle physx, turn on the physx visual indicator in nvidia control panel and play your games. make note of how many say phsyx = gpu, i bet it wont be many. given the amount of games that allow gpu accelerated physx vs the cost of an 8400gs, is it worth the investment? and... and 8400gs is a horrible horrible horrible card for anything but microsoft word, and general internet usage. the igpu on your cpu is stronger than the 8400gs. also, there is no additional pcie connector for the card. 650w should be fine, but its a waste of time.
it wouldnt lower FPS at all. however the 8400 isnt even supported. the 8600 is the lowest possible card that will allow GPU accelerated physx.
thats kind of a mixed question, a gts250 would probably increase it.. an 8400gs however, not so much. it will increase headache and spite though. the point im trying to make though is, check to see if gpu accelerated physx is even working by turning on the physx visual indicator.
LOL the OP couldve done some research as this question was already answered on one of the stickys http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135891
Your 460 would handle the overhead of PhysX just fine. Also a gt220 or gt240 make the best standalone Physx card.
Well if you take a 8600 for example, and it is overloaded with physX, wouldn't the fps be lower because the GTX 460 would have handled it easily and not be bottlenecked? In general, with very light PhysX, there would be a small fps increase due to the off-load (not that the GTX 460 couldn't handle light PhysX anyways), but the cost of the card and the extra power it uses and the noise it makes would definitively make the purchase worthless.
So if I did possibly get a gt 240 or gt 220, would it equate to at least a 10 fps boost? I know it will increase the visual effects like dirts and all that other stuff, but will it increase to at least 10 fps?
you might get from 100 to 110 fps but not 50 to 60 fps. Remember PhysX works only for games that support it anyways (not many) Forget about a standalone PhysX card it is definitively NOT worth it for you
how will it increase particle count when its limited by a game cap? unless the game is specifically coded to detect then utilize gpu accelerated physx (very very few) you wont see any real visual differance.
you would produce less with an underpowered card. the physx card is just doing the calculation. the 460 is still the display adapter. with the added eye candy and the load of physx off its back. their would be little to no difference.
I don't know if it really is the same, but I do know that when I had my 470's in SLI, using either a GTX275 or another GTX470 as a dedicated card, my scores/FPS were worse.
I was actually about to mention this. When I had my GX2s they exhibited the same behavior. its diffirent with single cards. in this case he would see a gain but not 10FPS and not at all unless he got a better card. in games he would see no change. in synthetics the score would be worse. because the 8600 while a fantastic card just isnt a viable physx option. the 460 would score higher by itself then offloading. the only time low end cards like that helped are like 9600 with an 8600 as a physx card. Alot of people on the forum can tell alot of people in this thread I ran these kinds of tests all the time. Iv pretty much owned almost every nvidia card under the sun.
Damn! I made the assumption they already searched the forum stickies 99% of the time 1 card is better than 2, that's why i always buy "flagship" card's More performance, less problem's and better longevity I have never seen a person with multiple card's NOT experience some type of issue's. Just my $0.02
he wont see a gain at all 8400GS barely meet the minimum requirments for Physx Which NVIDIA GeForce GPUs support PhysX? The minimum requirement to support GPU-accelerated PhysX is a GeForce 8-series or later GPU with a minimum of 32 cores and a minimum of 256MB dedicated graphics memory. However, each PhysX application has its own GPU and memory recommendations. In general, 512MB of graphics memory is recommended unless you have a GPU that is dedicated to PhysX. the 8400 series Specs: 32 shaders 64 bit bus the simple fact is the 8400 gs is so weak even if used for Physx its performance would so terrible as to be worthless dont bother with dedicated PhysX cards unless your running AMD, and even then you want something like a GTS 450 or better, lulz
It doesn't even phase me, there are what 10 - 15 game's that use PhysX? Of which i may play 3 or 4. If every game used it then i'd be "worried". I aint gonna clutter up my case and steal more power from my PSU to get "slightly" better GFX in less than a handfull of game's. I am pleased with my overall performance, and always have been If you want realism get your buddies together and hit a paintball park, get all the PhysX you need
no shit, point was using a dedicated physx card when you already have an nvidia card is not worth what you get, but pair say a 450 with a 5850 lets to max out Mafia II, with all the bells and whistles from cloth simulation etc, and i agree for the few games that use it its rather useless, point remains any game using physx right now can be run on a decent Nvidia GPU without the need for a dedicated card, if your on AMD and want physx, grab a cheap 440 / 450 from nvidia and slot it in.

"A voidable contract is one where one or more parties thereto have the power, by a manifestation of election to do so, to avoid the legal relations created by the contract; or by ratification of the contract to extinguish the power of avoidance. Where a contract is voidable on both sides, as where there has been a violation of the duty of loyalty and improvidence by executors knowingly participated in and induced by the other contracting parties, the transaction is not wholly void, since in order to prevent the contract from having its normal operation the claim or defense must in some manner be asserted and also since the contract is capable of ratification, such a contract affects from the outset the legal relations of the parties. The question of whether there has been an abandonment or abrogation of a contract is usually one of fact . . . ."
Valid unless rejected by a party with the legally protected option of doing so. Thus, state law may allow minors to either affirm or reject any promises made in a contract by calling such contracts voidable.
See Void (compare).
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A contract that can become void, but is not necessarily so; a contract that one party can affirm or rescind at that party's option. An example might be a contract entered into by a minor that is voidable once the minor reaches the age of majority, or alternatively, which the minor may affirm.

The American Cancer Society invites everyone to make a difference in the fight against cancer; especially dogs and those who love them. Dogs of all ages, colors, shapes and sizes are invited to bring their owners to the American Cancer Society's upcoming event "Bark for Life of Mercer County" on Saturday, October 19, 2013 at Mercer County Park, West Windsor, New Jersey.
Bark for Life is a non-competitive 5-K walk event and festival designed for dogs and their families to aid in the fight against cancer. Although this is a "dog-friendly" event, all members of the community - whether you're a dog owner or not - are welcome to join in on the fun while supporting the mission of the American Cancer Society. "Bark" participants raise funds and awareness to help save lives and create a world with more birthdays by helping people stay well, get well, find cures and fight back. Donations collected at Bark For Life forward the battle against ALL types of cancer; funding research, patient and family services, and educational disease prevention programs.
In addition to showing support of human cancer survivors and remembering loved ones lost to this devastating disease, Bark For Life also celebrates our four-legged companions and caregivers who give unconditional love during life's most challenging times.
People and canines from the entire region are encouraged to take part, as this will be the final New Jersey based Bark For Life for the year 2013. The event will take place on Saturday, October 19, 2013 at Mercer County Park/West End, 334 South Post Road, West Windsor, NJ 08550. It will happen rain or shine: registration tent opens at 9 am, the walk begins at 10 am, and festivities are scheduled from 10:45 am until 2 pm.
"Bark" will feature entertainment, games and contests for dogs and humans alike. "Paw-friendly" activities include a Pet Costume Parade, where a prize will be awarded to the dog wearing the best costume. The Princeton Dog Training Club will present an "agility demonstration". D.J. Bobby LaFauci will provide music for the walkers. Sponsors and vendors will be set-up at the event, including Kona Ice, Got Antler, Golden Grange Kennels, Origami Owl, Serina's Delights, and Bundle of Paws Photography. Participants and dogs are welcome to remain after the event to enjoy the day at Mercer County Park.
Pre-event registration is suggested but participants may register onsite the day of the event. Cost is $10.00 per person + $10.00 per dog and includes a doggie gift. Participants who pre-register and raise a minimum of $100.00 each receive a Relay For Life T-shirt. The American Cancer Society Bark For Life Committee always welcomes new teams, individuals, sponsors, vendors, or anyone interested in volunteering for this event.
The ultimate goal of the American Cancer Society is to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. To speak with someone about Bark For Life, contact Michelle DeChristopher at the American Cancer Society: 732-951-6335, email: firstname.lastname@example.com or Volunteer Chairperson - Michelle Sweeney: 732-744-4690, email: firstname.lastname@example.com .

WARNING! ...I talk a lot in this thread. C:
Hello all those who like to do one on one role-playing! I am here letting you know that I am looking for some decent partners who are willing to go long-term and are just wanting to enjoy flexing some creative muscles. Just an upfront warning: I do not do any sexual role-playing or same gender relationships. If that something that you are looking for, then I am not the person you want to ask. If that is not your cup of tea or are just fine not role-playing it, please continue.
I like to be committed to my role-plays and do not drop them out of the blue. I ask simply that you provide the same courtesy to me. This said, there are times where I don't notice a reply, simply through human error. If this ever happens, feel free to send me a friendly message to remind me that it is my turn to reply. I don't want to leave anyone waiting for a response when I don't realize there is need of one. Along the same ideas, if you find yourself losing interest with the story we have going, Tell me, please. I will never be upset if someone loses interest in a role-play, Because it has happened to me before. Why do something that you are not enjoying and is the writing equivalent to pulling out your hair one strand at a time... Just say something. We can either come up with a different story to work with or go our separate ways.
I am asking for good grammar and punctuation at least, though some mistakes are understandable. The reason I am asking for this specifically however is because I use a voice dictation/reading program. I am Partially blind and can't read, so I rely on this dictation program. If things are all mashed together or spelled in some way that is unrecognizable, my program won't be able to read it to me. So please, punctuation, good grammar. I will try to do the same, but please understand if I make some mistakes. Remember, sometimes things sound differently then they are actually written and I can't tell the difference.
I am not expecting a response every day. I have found that if I get into a good creative rhythm, I will be able to post every day. But there are sometimes where I can go a few days between my replies, Either with my creativity stumbling or simply life getting in the way and creating a busy atmosphere in my home. I am married, my husband is in school, so I have the majority of the chores around the house relying on me to get them done. This takes up a lot of time. That coupled with the fact that I enjoy spending time with my husband means that I may not always be able to get a reply up every day. I know that life happens and I try to extend this same courtesy to all of my partners. I have A lot of patients, not pushing my partners for responses every hour of the day. This is supposed to be something that we enjoy, not feel like homework with a deadline. If you can show some patients with the timing of my responses, I can show the same respect for yours.
I find that I enjoy getting to know my partners and have fun simply getting into side conversations and talking about life in general. This isn't required, but I don't want anyone to be afraid to talk with me. I think I'm a nice person... At least, I hope so.
Also! This is something that is big: please be willing to create a story with me and be willing to drive the plot forward with me. I don't want to be the only one pushing a story along. I like all sorts of twists and surprises, so feel free to throw them in to spice things up. I find that a role-play is most enjoyable when there is two of us making things interesting for the story.
I myself play both genders, with a whole cast of original characters backing me up and several canon characters that are some of my favorites to Playaz. I can have several characters in any given role-play or story, bringing in as few or many as needed to help with the momentum of the plot.
Absolutely no one responses please! There is nothing that kills a role-play faster then the infamous one liners. It is disappointing to see such little effort being placed in responses in a role-play, especially if you take so much time and effort to give character development and plot ideas, a good full post that you can picture in your mind because of the words that were used. The minimum I am asking for is at least one paragraph, three or more sentences.
And please, please, no strong language, sex, or excessive gore. I personally do not like profanity, I don't use it myself, and I prefer it not to show up in a role-play. Sex should be kept between couples and is a private matter. It's not something that should be showing up so casually on a forum. As for the violence, keep it to a tasteful minimum. I don't need to hear graphic descriptions of someone's insides being in the wrong place....
Now that all that rambling and rules are out-of-the-way, what say you to some ideas and interests? Please keep in mind that any plot ideas that I may have is open-ended for a reason: to be able to flesh it out with my partner and make it something that is uniquely us. If nothing I have come up with sparks your interest, feel free to suggest your own ideas and stories. I always love hearing about ideas!
In a roleplay, I...
Like... Fantasy, science-fiction, modern, werewolves, romance, vampires, shape shifters,, Action, humor, drama, surprises, wolves, suspense...
Dislike... F bombs, laziness, cults, sex, historical...
Among other things, in both categories.
plot IdeasShe is hunted for something she doesn't even realize she has: magic. An unharnessed ability to control the elements rests inside, unrealized by the one that harbors it... But others soon realize what it is that she holds and greed is sparked. Hunters, able to rip magic from any living creature, are called upon to reap the bountiful harvest of something that has become so rare in the world, Charged to bring it back to their master. One man steps forward to protect such a priceless gift from those who would abuse it, a wielder of magic himself, willing to take the girl under his wing and help her reach her full potential. He becomes her protector, her guardian, doing his best to keep her out of the path of danger until she can perfect her magic and become something greater than the world has ever seen, teaching her everything that he knows, Hoping that they will not be caught before the end.
In A land that is made up entirely of floating continents in the midst of an eternal sky, Dragons are the most revered creatures. To ever have met such a creature, let alone be bonded to one as a great Dragon rider is an honor most people never dream of holding. Within a small and elite group of these very riders, two members are accepted into the ranks only hours before news reaches them that A group of mages on a distant continent are planning on preforming a ritual that will summon hundreds of demonic wyvern into the world in hopes of destroying all but themselves.
They say that Romeo and Juliet is one of the greatest love stories that has ever been written, A drama that is known by almost everyone all over the world. But when two teenagers meet each other in school and over a period of time begin to develop feelings that reach even beyond friendship, The secrets that both of them hold Will leave them into their own story even greater then the one of the couple in Shakespeare's play. But one thing Shakespeare didn't count on was for his Romeo and Juliet to both be shape shifters and both of their families are trying to kill the other side to overtake the territory they believe is rightfully theirs.
(I have a character that can shape shift into a wolf or Snow Leopard for this.)
That's it for now. I will add more when ideas come to me. Feel free to send me a private message or post below.

That's because those around him had his back and his mom believes in the end they were doing just that.
"If there's any comfort it's to know that they all stayed together," Gayemarie Ekker says.
The 32-year old Thurston grew up in Cedar City. He was one of the 19-hotshot firefighters who perished fighting a fire in Arizona.
Ekker was enroute to Prescott Arizona to celebrate the 4th of July when she learned of the tragedy.
"19 the whole team, it's just unbelievable," she says.
Ekker says her son always wanted to be a firefighter and was overjoyed when he became a member of the Granite Mountain Hotshots.
"And when he got word that he'd been selected because it is the best they were the elite team and he was very proud of being a granite mountain hotshotter," she says.
Ekker was honored that other firefighters stood guard over the 19 firefighters Sunday night.
"They stayed all night with them and then rather than divide them up,
they kept them all together took them with an honor guard down to Phoenix," Ekker says.
Thurston was a family man, married with two sons, a 7 year old and a four year old.
"We went by the fire station last night and Ethan said 'how are we going to get my daddy's truck home?'", Ekker says.
Thurston mother says funeral plans remain uncertain. She says as of Tuesday morning, her son's body was still with the medical examiner in Phoenix Arizona.

Collaboration Package by Bull with Server, Xandros and O3spaces
The French hardware vendor offers an enterprise document and news management solution with a dual core server, Xandros Linux and O3spaces as a bundle.
Bull's package deal from its modular Opencenter product family costs around 14,520 euros including VAT, three years' hardware and software maintenance and support, commissioning, installation of server and software, data integration and one day's training for users. The O3spaces license is for 100 seats.
The server is a Bull Novascale T840. Bull specified the components on request: an Intel Xeon E5130 dual core (2 GHz), 2 GByte Fully Buffered RAM, two 250GB SATA hard disks with hot-swap support, redundant power supply, floppy and DVD drive. Without the package, the server would cost 3,046 euros with three years' on-site service, according to the Bull price list.
Xandros Linux for servers costs around 535 euros without support, and one year's standard support around 1070 euros, both including VAT. O3spaces is a document management extension for Open Office which is commercially licensed for business use. The costs for five to 100 users are around 70 euros per seat including VAT. Support includes five calls, a customer forum and email support.
The collaboration package adds value on top of individual purchases thanks to ready-to-run hardware and software installation and single source support for the hardware, the operating system and the collaboration software, said Bull's marketing manager for Intel products in Europe talking to Linux Magazine, adding that Bull will be supplying the server either with or without the package with an Intel Xeon E5310 (1,6 GHz) Quadcore for the same price starting in November.
The Opencenter series combines Bull's own server hardware with proprietary Open Source products. Bundles have various focuses, such as the collaboration bundle discussed in this news item.
