Hastings International Chess Congress
The Hastings International Chess Congress is an annual chess congress which takes place in Hastings, England, around the turn of the year. The main event is the Hastings Premier tournament, which was traditionally a 10 to 16 player round-robin tournament. In 2004/05 the tournament was played in the knock out format; while in 2005/06 and 2006/07 it was played using the Swiss system. Alongside the main event there is the challengers section, which is open to all players. The winner of the challengers event earns an invitation in the following year's Premier.
In addition to the annual international tournament at the Christmas Congress, Hastings has also hosted international tournaments at irregular intervals in its Summer Congress. The most celebrated of these is Hastings 1895, which featured two world champions and nearly all of the world's best players.
Every World Champion before Garry Kasparov except Bobby Fischer played at Hastings: Wilhelm Steinitz (1895), Emanuel Lasker (1895), José Raúl Capablanca (1919, 1929/30, 1930/1 and 1934/5), Alexander Alekhine (1922, 1925/6, 1933/4 and 1936/7), Max Euwe (1923/4, 1930/1, 1931/2, 1934/5, 1945/6 and 1949/50), Mikhail Botvinnik (1934/5, 1961/2 and 1966/7), Vasily Smyslov (1954/5, 1962/3 and 1968/9), Mikhail Tal (1963/4), Tigran Petrosian (1977/8), Boris Spassky (1965/6), and Anatoly Karpov (1971/2). The only champions to play Hastings while currently holding the title were Lasker at Hastings 1895, Alekhine at the 1933/4 Christmas Congress and Botvinnik in 1961/62.[1][2]
Vera Menchik (Czechoslovakia), who was then the Women's World Champion, was the first woman to play in the Premier section, participating in seven tournaments from 1929/30 through 1936/37. In 1963/4 Nona Gaprindashvili (USSR) won the Challengers section when she also was Women's World Champion, earning a spot in the next years Premier. In the 1964/5 Premier she scored 5/9 to place fifth, beating all of the British masters in the tournament.[3][4]
The Hastings Variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined takes its name from the game Victor Berger (né Buerger) – George Alan Thomas, Hastings 1926/7, which began 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Bg5 h6 5.Bxf6 Qxf6 6.Nc3 c6 7.Qb3.[5]

Premier (Christmas Congress)[edit]
The first Christmas Congress in 1920/1 was a four player double round-robin of British Champions, won by Frederick Yates 4/6 ahead of Roland Henry Vaughn Scott 3.5, Henry Ernest Atkins 3, and Richard Griffith 1.5.[3]
In 1921/2, the second Congress, the field was still almost entirely British. The lone foreign entrant, Borislav Kostić (Yugoslavia), won with a perfect 7/7 score.[3]
The third Congress in 1922/3, began the event as a truly international competition with four foreign participants in the field of ten. Max Euwe (Netherlands) won with 7.5/9. Except for 1924/5 and during World War II, the tournaments would continue as ten-player events with the field half British, half foreign. In 1968 the field was increased to twelve, and in 1971 it was increased again to sixteen.[3]
The Congress was held in the Hastings Town Hall from 1921 to 1929. In 1930 it was held in the Waverly Hotel; from 1931 to 1953 at the White Rock Pavilion; from 1954 to 1965 at the Sun Lounge, St. Leonards-on-Sea; and in 1966 Falaise Hall, White Rock Gardens.[6] At first the tournament was funded by private donations and a grant from the Hastings Corporation, but eventually commercial sponsorship became necessary. The 1967 to 1969 tournaments were sponsored by The Times newspaper and the St Leonards and Hastings Corporations. This allowed an increase in the prize funds for both the Premier and Challengers' sections, with the prizes for the Premier being 1st £250, 2nd £100, 3rd £50, 4th £25, and £5 per won game for non-prize winners. Challengers prizes were 1st £100, 2nd £50, 3rd £30, 4th £20, 5th £10, and a £20 prize for the best score by a British player. Participants in the by-invitation Premier section had expenses paid. The entry fee for the Challengers' section was £4, with the 32-player field selected from the entries received.[7] Zetters International Pools was the sponsor in 1975, and Ladbrokes in 1976. Other sponsors included J. D. Slater, W. R. Morry, and the Friends of Chess.[3]
The 1961/2 Congress featured World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik, making his first return to Hastings since 1934/5. The 1934/5 Congress was Botvinnik's first tournament outside the Soviet Union and he had finished a disappointing fifth behind Sir George Thomas, Max Euwe, and Salo Flohr tied for 1st-3rd, and Capablanca at 4th. This time Botvinnik was undefeated, winning seven and drawing two to finish first with 7/9. Svetozar Gligorić was second with 6, Flohr third with 5.5, and Arthur Bisguier and John Penrose tied for fourth-fifth with 5.[8][9]

Summer Congress[edit]
# Year Winner 1 1895 Harry Nelson Pillsbury (USA) 2 1919 José Raúl Capablanca (Cuba) 3 1922 Alexander Alekhine (France) 4 1995 Suat Atalık (Turkey)
Hastings 1895 is considered one of the greatest tournaments in the history of chess. It was one of the first tournaments to include all the top players, including former World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz and current champion Emanuel Lasker, Mikhail Chigorin, Siegbert Tarrasch, Karl Schlechter, Joseph Henry Blackburne, David Janowski, and others. The result of the 22-game round-robin was a surprise, as American Harry Nelson Pillsbury won with 16.5 points despite playing in his first international tournament.[3]
The Hastings 1919 "Victory Tournament" was the first international tournament held in an allied country after World War I. The field was chiefly British, but the tournament was dominated by Cuban José Raúl Capablanca (soon to be World Champion) and Yugoslav grandmaster Borislav Kostić. Capablanca won 10.5/11 without a loss, drawing only his game to Kostić who placed second with 9.5. George Alan Thomas and Frederick Yates tied for 3rd-4th with 7 points.[3]
Hastings 1922 was a double round-robin with Alexander Alekhine, Akiba Rubinstein, Efim Bogoljubov, Siegbert Tarrasch, George Alan Thomas, and Frederick Yates. Capablanca and Lasker had been invited but were unable to attend. The tournament featured a slower time control than had been usual in England—17 moves per hour instead of 20 moves per hour. The outcome wasn't decided until the final round. Bogoljubov lost all his games against tournament leaders Alekhine and Rubinstein. Rubinstein needed a final round victory over Thomas to tie for first with Alekhine, but achieved only a draw to fall a half point short. Alekhine won with 7.5, Rubinstein was second with 7, and Bogoljubow and Thomas tied for third-fourth with 4.[3]

Learn how the City is exploring new ways to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows.
Mayor Proposes Expanding Blueprint into Linden Mayor Michael B. Coleman is submitting legislation to Columbus City Council to expand Blueprint Columbus into the Linden neighborhood. The legislation seeks to establish professional design contracts for neighborhood projects, and invest more than $3 million to reline more than 10 miles of existing sanitary pipe to prevent the infiltration of stormwater, a major cause of sewer overflows. - learn more
Understanding Our Sewer System There are three types of sewers: • Combined sewers carry both sewage and rain water to wastewater treatment plants • Separate sanitary sewers carry sewage from homes and businesses to wastewater treatment plants • Storm sewers convey rain water from streets, rooftops and parking lots to nearby streams - learn more
An Old Problem Our sanitary sewer system works well most of the time, but rain water and snow melt can seep into the system and overload it. When this occurs, the amount of water entering the sanitary sewer system exceeds the system's capacity to hold it. - learn more
A New Approach The City of Columbus is in the process of developing a new approach to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows. Instead of simply storing excess water that seeps into the sanitary sewer system when rain falls and snow melts, Blueprint Columbus will address the source of the problem. - learn more
Training Opportunities New approaches to old problems require new job skills. Some training opportunities on the design and installation of green infrastructure can be found at these sites: US EPA The Conservation FundCenter for Watershed Protection

The furnace I use takes a while to heat up to the required temperatures (about 1000 degrees celsius), and remain stable there, while still being cool at the top. That takes time. Doing the electrolytic cleaning also takes a few hours. And the experiment itself takes a few hours. |

We prove a polynomial multiple recurrence theorem for finitely many commuting measure preserving transformations of a probability space, extending a polynomial Szemerédi theorem appearing in [BL1]. The linear case is a consequence of an ergodic IP-Szemerédi theorem of Furstenberg and Katznelson ([FK2]). Several applications to the fine structure of recurrence in ergodic theory are given, some of which involve weakly mixing systems, for which we also prove a multiparameter weakly mixing polynomial ergodic theorem. The techniques and apparatus employed include a polynomialization of an IP structure theory developed in [FK2], an extension of Hindman's theorem due to Milliken and Taylor ([M], [T]), a polynomial version of the Hales-Jewett coloring theorem ([BL2]), and a theorem concerning limits of polynomially generated IP-systems of unitary operators ([BFM]).

Adding solar panels to a brushbot project gives a new twist to an intermediate robotics building activity, but does it offer more power? With this clever build and a kit from the Science Buddies Store, it was easy to put that question to the test!
After a successful series of building robots using Science Buddies procedures, we recently gave the Solar-powered Bristlebot a try. This bot is very closely related to the Light-tracking Bristlebot we built a few years back. Both of these bots can be built using the Advanced Bristlebot Kit from the Science Buddies Store, a fact that makes gathering the right specialty/electronics supplies really easy—just open the box!
My student decided to build this robot over spring break. We didn't need to do this hands-on science activity for school. We didn't need to formally track or test or measure. The focus was on the building, on the experience of plugging things into the breadboard appropriately. As a parent, this kind of casual at-home science and engineering moment is priceless.
Because our goal was on building, my role in the process was reading the directions out loud. He did all the assembly, all the breadboard hole-counting, tinkering, adjusting, taping, and customizing. That I had not been quite on top of things enough to have the right additional required elements gathered and on hand when the urge to build this bot struck meant I couldn't quite find the double-sided foam tape. He first improvised by making loops of clear tape to hold the small vibrating motors in place, but ultimately, he moved on to electrical tape. (We have lots of that!)
When the build was finished, we didn't have googly eyes, which some consider a "must" for their bots. But the impulse to customize his bot and give it added character was not lost. The head from a toy figurine made a perfect masthead for his bot, and, not shown here, a tiger figurine even got added at one point to ride on the bot!
As for the exploration of solar power... going outside to see if the motors would start spinning in the sun was exciting and rewarding.
This is a great and easy-to-follow project for at-home electronics and robotics fun!

2004 Saturn Astra • 4 cylinder 2WD Manual • 61,000 miles
My battery in my 2004 4-cylinder, 5-speed, Saturn Vue seems to be dead. I left the keys in my vehicle with the ignition turned to the on position for several hours. I tried to jump it three times and can't get the car to turn over and start. Do I need to buys a new battery or could it be my alternator? The battery is the original that came with the car.

You need a new battery. Draining it down that far probably caused the battery to completely die due to age of batery and the strain of dieing it down so low and then jumping it with high voltage to get it to start again. That really stresses a battery

was at O'rileys 4 times today…only spent money, fixed no problems… Here is what I have been experiencing: - Reallllllly stupid and annoying clicking from CCRM(?) -Fan turns on before car is even started, for no reason -Fuel pump primes over and over again before key is even turned for ignition -Odometer shows dashes and not numbers while the car performs the aforementioned activities While car exhibits these issues, it will not start, engine only cranks over. Once the car stops exhibiting these issues, it will start with no issue. What I've tried(in order of cost): -Replaced ignition 'tumbler' -Replaced ignition switch -Replaced ignition relay -Cried quietly in fetal position What I need help with: -Diagnosing this headache -or- -Copious amount of sleeping pills My car has been progressively getting worse over time and is now to the point where it literally makes me try to start it for 20-30 minutes before I am finally able to get it started… I'm thinking (after much much much google/forum searching) that is has to be the constant relay module Input your brain learnings please!
Check the ground to the CCRM. There's a black wire with white stripe near the battery. There's one black wire from the battery that goes to a round single wire connector. Coming out of the connector are two black wires. Check the grounds around the battery and radiator core support. Are they CLEAN and tight? No frayed wires? Check the condition of the battery terminals. Are they clean and tight? Don't cut corners here. Test first. Resist the urge to "replace parts".
Burns, first of all…Thank you so much for the help! Clearly you know much more than I about such topics. I think we did what you were instructing… -Front body grounds are good -battery ground/terminals good -Boost a pump ground is good as well, although it was installed by a shop and grounded to a main in the trunk…I don't know if that matters… We were able to get the car started and it ran fine for about 30 seconds, then all of the sudden it ran super rich, died, then the odometer turned to all dashes again and the car would crank over but not fire up. One other symptom that I forgot to mention is that when the door is open, the car "bings" like the key is still in the ignition or the lights are still on even though neither are the case? Again, thank you so much for the help. This car is freshly ready to roll except this one debilitating and frustrating problem!
What would we do without WMBurns?! Edit my bad I read it is still causing you issues. Have you thought about replacing the CCRM completely? I had to do it to mine when my A/C was acting up this past fall.
The "clicking" from the CCRM area is a sign that the CCRM relays are "bouncing". This symptom is sometime associated with a BAD/poor CCRM ground. Further, I thought your opening posted stated that the CCRM was replaced. The cooling fan running while the motor isn't is also a symptom of "no power to the PCM". What powers the PCM? Hint CCRM. The cluster displaying all dashed (----) is a sign that the cluster and PCM are not talking to each other. This would be an expected symptom when there's no power to the PCM. If you are certain the grounds are good to the CCRM and PCM, then other possible causes could be a bad ignition switch. Consider monitoring for +12 volts on the RED ignition wire, The easiest place to monitor is the radio interference capacitor. Also monitor fusees F2.2, F2.34, F1.26, and F1.14 to see if power drops during operation. Once stable power and grounds have been confirmed to the PCM, then some thought should be given to a bad PCM.
No, no…I replaced the ignition switch, ignition relay, and ignition 'tumbler'…Hadn't replaced the CCRM…that was kind of my question… We got a little deeper into the car tonight and what we found was that when we pulled the I/P fuse, the dinging that was unnecessary stopped, but the car still started without the I/P fuse in at all. Headlights disconnected but still had the same issue. When we checked the ground for the CCRM, the voltage only dropped .10 between the ground and the battery. Power to the PCM was very near the battery voltage. The weirdest thing is that the 'short' isn't consistent. Car will start perfectly fine at first then die and start exhibiting all of these weird issues…. It seems like an internal short in the CCRM to me…I have very limited knowledge on this subject, but it seems to me after all the grounds being confirmed good, and the PCM not receiving power consistently from the CCRM, that the PCM or the CCRM are bad…?
That was my original plan….But it costs 130 from Rileys and I'd figured that I could get some good ideas from here…after replacing 3 other parts to no avail…I was scared to blow 130 on something to just continue the issue. It seemed like all of the symptoms point to the CCRM to me….but shoot, I am tapped out here
I'm not a big fan of junkyard electronics, but if you can get a CCRM cheap enough. Might be worth a shot.
Please confirm the model year of your Mustang. If this is a 99-04 MY, there isn't a separate "ignition relay". For the 96-04 MY, the CCRM performs the job of "ignition relay". Hence why I assume the CCRM was replaced. I'm attempting to help you to figure out exactly which parts are bad. See the previous post requesting test information.
Been a while since I've posted, but since my last post, nothing has changed! I've tried a CCRM I found online for very little money, and swapped out my alternator for a brand new one... To answer your questions Burns, my mustang is a 1999 GT and I had not replaced the CCRM as of the last post, but I purchased a CCRM off the web for a pretty cheap price and it had the exact same issue as before. We had tried all those grounds as you had previously instructed, yet to no avail. I had this problem a while back, and ended up replacing the alternator. I did this because the 8 rib belt that we had on the car was far too tight, which we assumedly had ruined it. When we replaced the alternator it fixed the problem for about a month, then it came back...We figured that would be a potential solution so we got a brand new alternator and a much more adequate belt... Again, it solved the problem and the car ran perfect for the rest of the day. Starting without issue a few more times that evening. Next morning, car would not start and began exhibiting the exact same issues as before!Does any of this infer point towards a solution? aghhhhhhhhhhhh Thanks again for all your help WMBURNS!!
I really think your problem is a bad CCRM or PCM ground. However, since you have stated they are good, additional tests are going to be needed to rule this in/out. A set of wiring diagrams are almost required. If interested in getting a set for yourself I may be able to help. PM if interested. What happened to my suggestion to monitor voltage at fuse F2.2, F2.34, F1.26, and F1.14?
My thinking if it is intermittent that there is a loose or bad connection somewhere. Whether it be ground or hot. Since you swapped CCRM and still have an issue there is a wiring issue to trace. Fiddling with different wire while trying to trace it may manipulate it enough to make contact then it goes bad again as the engine and car moves. Maybe the alternator is a clue. It grounds to the engine and you seem to correct it briefly when replacing it. Pull and clean that ground...check for continuity with an ohmmeter.
Burns, the latest update is that we grounded the alternator since the car has a trick flow track heat top end and a custom alternator bracket.. both are aluminum, which made us think maybe bad alternator ground. (Thanks for the idea COramprat!) Unfortunately it didn't resolve anything. We aren't sure about the PCM and CCRM grounds, we have tried to test the grounds but are uneducated to the more advanced electrical aspects of the car. Today I went out and ran my OBDII on the car to see what codes it was throwing now and was most disturbed...It throw 30+ codes ranging from EGR vacuum and heater circuit codes to cylinder head temp and both high and low circuit 02 as well as both too lean and too rich codes...It's full on freaking out now.
Just wondering.......Have you "checked" fuses F2.2 and F2.8 in the CJB? Almost certain F2.8 is blown based on the newly reported symptoms. Anytime there are a large number of DTC's that suddenly appear one should always ask, "what do these systems have in common". The simplest answer is often that they share a fuse circuit.
Where would I find such fuses? I'm looking online for a fuse diagram but the "f2.2" etc... Are eluding me. Are those the fuses in the under good fuse box?
F1=BJB=Battery Junction Box under the hood F2=CJB=Central Junction Box located driver's kick panel. Therefore, F2.2 would be fuse #2 located in the CJB.
Thanks for the education! We hopped down under the CJB and checked all of those fuses. No more than 1 ohm of resistance at each. We then checked the main ground under the car. The shop reconnected it to the oil pan, but it was very secure. We then took the dash apart and unplugged the gauge cluster, Looking for shorts in there as well. There was nothing we could see and all grounds were clean and solid. The car exhibited the same issues with the gauge cluster out (clicking and fan running)... Does any of this information help?
Likely will need to measure the key off resistance of each of the black and black/white strip wires from the CCRM back to battery negative. Recommend disconnecting the positive battery terminal to fully isolate. But sure to use a fresh battery and calibrate the VOM before taking the measurement. This measurement should be a fraction of an Ohm. While the CCRM is out, perform a through visual inspection looking for bent/pushed pins. Ensure that all connectors are CLEAN. Recommend using some electrical contact cleaner. If the resistance is too high, likely this is the source of the problem.
Did somebody try to put a tune on this car? That is exactly what happens when i use my tuner to put one of the bama tunes on my car. The fans switch's on and the odometer reads all dashes. then the programer flashes the Chip once completed the fans shut off and the odometer goes back to normal. So my guess is that your PCM has gone bad. Or it just might need to be re-flashed.
The car was tuned at a shop with a dyno. If I recall correctly, they had to replace the PCM because it wasn't communicating with their software...It wasn't just a tune off of a handheld. I'm thinking at this point, that I should take it to a Ford dealership...I'm not getting anywhere this way!!

AMD CEO Hector Ruiz Out After Poor Q2
AMD CEO Hector Ruiz Out After Poor Q2
Scott Ferguson
Posted 2008-07-17
AMD's colorful CEO Hector Ruiz is stepping down after the chip maker posted a large second-quarter loss. AMD will replace Ruiz with company President Dirk Meyer as the Intel rival tries to return to profitability.
Advanced Micro Devices
CEO Hector Ruiz
is stepping down from his leadership post and President Dirk Meyer will take over the leadership of the struggling chip maker. The news that Ruiz would step down came after AMD reported a $1.19 billion loss during the second financial quarter of 2008. In addition to the quarterly loss,
AMD announced that it would divest itself of its consumer electronics division,
which the company inherited after the ATI acquisition in 2006.
Following a number of technical and financial missteps, rumors started to swirl that Ruiz would be forced to step down from his CEO position. In the last year,
AMD has lost a number of top executives
and the chip maker now plans to cut 10 percent of its 16,500 person work force.
In speaking to analysts July 17,
Ruiz announced that he would step down as CEO
but plans to remain as executive chairman of the board. Meyer will immediately assume the CEO title. During his tenure, Ruiz led AMD to develop some of its best processors and the company managed to take market share away from Intel, but the continuing financial losses, Intel's resurgence and the missteps with delivering the quad-core Opteron chip in 2007 have put the company in a tough position. "We have not been living up to that potential, but, looking forward, we will," Meyer said, adding that the key to success of AMD in the future is to "execute, execute, execute." While Meyer will take day-to-day control of AMD, Ruiz said he will help the company with its "asset-smart" strategy and lead
AMD's fight against what he called Intel's "illegal monopoly"
of the worldwide x86 microprocessor market.
The European Commission filed additional complaints July 17 against Intel's practices in the European market.
"On the one hand, they started planning this transition two years ago to transfer the CEO title from Hector to Dirk and this move was already on the way," said Roger Kay, an analyst with Endpoint Technologies Associates. "On the other hand, AMD has had a couple of tough years and this is a definitive changing of the guard." While Meyer, an engineer by training, can help AMD change its fortunes in the marketplace, Kay said the company's financial struggles have turned AMD into a potential takeover target. During the second quarter, which ended June 28, AMD sustained a financial loss of $1.19 billion or $1.96 per share compared with the $600 million loss or $1.09 per share it posted in the second quarter of 2007. AMD's revenues were $1.35 billion this quarter compared with $1.3 billion a year ago. Wall Street analysts had been calling for a 52 cent per share loss during the second quarter with revenue of $1.4 billion.
Intel, AMD's main rival in the x86 chip market, posted a 25 percent net increase in net income
during the second quarter thanks to better-than-expected PC sales. Now, AMD plans to rid itself of its Consumer Electronics division, although the company's executives did not offer any detailed plans for the business. The loss from these discontinued operations amounted to $1.52 a share. In a call with financial analysts, Meyer said the company still plans to return to some sort of profitability by the end of 2008. For now, Meyer said AMD would focus on the strongest parts of its core business, which include processors for servers along with chips and graphics for desktops and notebooks. Meyer said he expects notebook sales and back-to-school sales to add much-needed profit to the company's bottom line during the third quarter.
AMD launched its "Puma" notebook platform in June.
John Spooner, an analyst with Technology Business Research, wrote in a July 17 research note that in addition to traditional notebooks, Meyer is planning to develop a line of processors that will address the type of low-cost laptops
Intel is targeting with its new Atom processor.
"Meyer will work quickly to focus the company's product development, marketing and sales efforts toward specific goals, including expanding its share of the enterprise client segment and growing its share of the global notebook market," Spooner wrote. "We expect part of its efforts in mobile to involve unveiling an Internet access notebook (aka netbook) strategy backed by an as-yet unannounced product lineup, which Meyer referred to during the company's July 17 earnings call. We believe that Meyer will also make increasing AMD's share of the discrete PC graphics market with new, higher-performing products a main area of focus as well."

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Dyshawn Pierre scored 14 points and Jordan Sibert hit a key 3-pointer with 47.7 seconds left as Dayton stunned Syracuse 55-53 Saturday night to earn a spot in Sweet 16 for the first time in three decades.
Syracuse was poised to pull out another close victory, but Tyler Ennis' 3-point attempt clanged off the rim at the buzzer.
Dayton (25-10), the 11th seed in the South Regional, advances to the regional semifinals next week and will play Kansas or Stanford.
The third-seeded Orange (28-6), who finished second in their first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference, struggled all game against the swarming Dayton defense, missing all 10 attempts from beyond the arc, while the Flyers hit seven times from long range.

Michelin's Pro 2 was a classic, but while the 3 Light increases performance it pushes into the race day category. It's a tight fit onto the wheel but equally tight in terms of control, with the sticky dual compound gluing you to even the wettest corners.
The light weight and supple carcass keep it one of the fastest feeling and rolling tyres we've tested. The downside is it starts to pick up debris and disintegrate on the road, and leaves sticky grey rubber on your rollers. While building on the success of the Pro 2, this is better suited to serious racers.

Historicity is the historical actuality of persons and events, meaning the quality of being part of history as opposed to being a historical myth, legend, or fiction. Historicity focuses on the truth value of knowledge claims about the past (denoting historical actuality, authenticity, and factuality.) The historicity of a claim about the past is its factual status.[1][2]
Some theoreticians characterize historicity as a dimension of all natural phenomena that take place in space and time. Other scholars characterize it as an attribute reserved to certain human phenomena, in agreement with the practice of historiography.[3] Herbert Marcuse explained historicity as that which "defines history and thus distinguishes it from 'nature' or from the 'economy'" and "signifies the meaning we intend when we say of something that is 'historical'."[4] The Blackwell Dictionary of Western Philosophy defines historicity as "denoting the feature of our human situation by which we are located in specific concrete temporal and historical circumstances." For Wilhelm Dilthey, historicity identifies human beings as unique and concrete historical beings.[5]
Questions regarding historicity concern not just the issue of "what really happened," but also the issue of how modern observers can come to know "what really happened."[6] This second issue is closely tied to historical research practices and methodologies for analyzing the reliability of primary sources and other evidence. Because various methodologies thematize historicity differently, it's not possible to reduce historicity to a single structure to be represented. Some methodologies (for example historicism), can make historicity subject to constructions of history based on submerged value commitments.[7] [8]
Questions of historicity are particularly relevant to partisan or poetic accounts of past events. For example, the historicity of the Iliad has become a topic of debate because later archaeological finds suggest that the work was based on some true event.
Questions of historicity also arise frequently in relation to historical studies of religion. In these cases, value commitments can influence the choice of research methodology.[8]

Runners of the Year – U.S. Women and Canadian Women
Racing sparingly and almost entirely on the roads, Shalane Flanagan came out on top of the U.S. women's rankings yet again. Flanagan's two victories in 2012 came at the U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon and also the Lisbon International Half Marathon. She also ran to a fine 10th place finish in the Olympic Marathon. Flanagan got a pretty good run for her money from Janet Bawcom, who finished fifth at the Marathon Trials in January and then raced frequently on the roads through the spring before qualifying for the 10,000m in London, where she finished 12th. She also won the Twin Cities 10 Mile in October. Molly Huddle advanced to the Olympic 5,000m final and finished 2012 third in the U.S. rankings, while collegiate runner Abbey D'Agostino ended the year in fourth. The Dartmouth junior won the 2012 NCAA title at 5,000m and narrowly missed advancing to the Olympics at the same distance. She also finished as runner-up at the NCAA Cross Country Championships last November. On the Canadian scene, Megan Brown finished in the top spot, followed closely by 2012 Villanova grad Sheila Reid.

MUMBAI (Reuters Breakingviews) - Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee took the path of least resistance in his budget. The UPA government is still reeling from the loss of mid-term regional elections and the increasing fragility of its coalition. Hope that he would rein in spending on subsidies and kick-start the economic reform process now looks like wishful thinking.
His budget has set a 5.1 percent fiscal deficit target for the year ahead. But while a deficit of that size is not ideal, it's not a big problem for India. As long as nominal GDP rises faster than the total debt, the ratio of debt to GDP will fall. India's fiscal deficits have risen since 2008, but the key ratio of debt-drag has dropped from 69 to 64 percent. The deficit need not be New Delhi's number one concern.
But structural reform is another story. It's essential -- and largely missing.
The deficit spending will boost demand for consumption goods, but if production does not also rise, the extra money will only fuel India's inflation problem. Better governance and more economic reform are required to unblock the investments needed for higher production. It's the virtuous circle of economic growth.
Mukherjee may not have had enough political wriggle room to rein in fuel subsidies, but he might have been able to ask for something more in return for keeping the taps open and the cash flowing. Land and mining reform might not have required too much political capital to kick things off and build investor confidence.
If big ticket initiatives such as raising caps on foreign direct investment are considered a step too far, the government could get to work on the nuts and bolts of doing business in India. It could strive to reduce the time it takes to set up a business (and to wind one down) and reduce the number of forms, permits and licences.
Mukherjee and his boss, Manmohan Singh, have the tools at their disposal to set the economy on a stronger path. Sadly, they seem never to miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
-- Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said he expected GDP to grow at 7.6 percent in 2012/13 during his budget statement on March 16. He predicted that this year the fiscal deficit would be 5.9 percent of GDP, exceeding the target of 4.6 percent he set in last year's budget. He set a target of 5.1 percent for the year 2012/13.

We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."

Artist | STRATOVARIUS |
The brand new studio album is the first Stratovarius CD with the new guitar player Matias Kupiainen and it's a great return to the classic Stratovarius sound that the fans were expecting.
"I can't wait to hit the road again and meet all fans who supported us through all our good and bad times." (Jens Johansson - Stratovarius) In September 2008, freed from many burdens of negativity, the band found the freedom to go into seclusion for almost a month in a cottage by the sea in a Finnish forest to relax, laugh, write songs, be creative together and record. They found themselves being a band reborn. The result is a melodic, powerful, fresh, tight, and technically elaborate new album.
'Polaris' was recorded in the fall of 2008 at Hästholmen and 5by5 studios, Helsinki, Finland. Mixed by the long-time confi dant of the band Mikko Karmila the album became another shining polar star at the Northern sky. Powerful melodies mingle with sophisticated arrangements, strong anthems stand alongside heavy songs. 11 songs full of energy, musicianship and a positive outlook.

Randy Travis Preserves Peace and Precious Privacy at His Hawaii Retreat
Lib Hatcher Travis might agree, though not about horses. Watching her handsome 35-year-old husband through the tinted glass of her air-conditioned Mercedes, Lib, 54, shakes her platinum-blonde head and confesses riding bores her silly. And Randy's newly announced plans to whisk her away to an isolated beach resort on the neighboring island of Lanai aren't going over great either. "Usually I make all the decisions, so I had to act excited," she tells a friend on her cellular phone. "There's not a single store nearby where I can shop." She sighs. "Oh, well, it'll be very romantic."
"I'm happiest when I'm riding a horse, shooting guns, lifting weights or doing something physical," says Travis. "There's not an athletic bone in Lib's body."
But after three years of marriage—and more than a decade as country music's most incongruous couple—they must be doing something right. With Hatcher as his manager, Travis almost single-handed jump-started Nashville's neo-traditionalist movement with his 1986 album Storms of Life, the first country debut to sell more than 1 million copies. Since then he has sold 17 million albums (his latest, This Is Me, has produced two Top 5 singles). "You only have to listen to that voice to know he's the real thing," says Tammy Wynette. "Randy's responsible for bringing country back to its roots."
Travis largely credits his success to Hatcher, whom he wed in 1991. Besides steering his music, Hatcher has guided his move into acting (he has a costarring role in the upcoming film Frank and Jesse, with Rob Lowe and Bill Paxton) and shrewdly overseen their multimillion dollar empire. (Investments range from song publishing to Nashville and Hawaii real estate to livestock.) She even cooks his meals and picks out the clothes he wears. "I don't think there's any mystery about them," says Wynette, a close friend. "I believe Randy simply needed someone with her firm hand."
That was certainly true in 1976, when Lib, who co-owned a Charlotte, N.C., nightclub with her husband, Frank, saved the 17-year-old Randy Traywick from a jail term. Randy, from nearby Marshville, was facing five years for theft when he auditioned at Hatcher's club. After hearing him sing, Lib talked a judge into releasing the boy—who already had a lengthy record for car theft, DWI and fighting, among other offenses—into her custody. "The judge was going to send me away," recalls Travis. "Fortunately Lib was there to stand up [for me]."
"I didn't know anything about managing," Hatcher admits, "but I realized he was good and that it would be a shame to see that talent go to waste." Before long, the protégé moved in with Lib and Frank. "It was pretty awkward, living part-time with a woman and her husband who you weren't sure how he felt about you," Travis recalls. "Sometimes I wondered whether or not I'd wake up in the morning." Hatcher's marriage eventually dissolved, and in 1980 she and Travis moved to Nashville, where all the major labels turned him down. Although neither recalls a specific moment, both Lib and Randy say it was during those dark times that their romance first blossomed. "I think we discovered how much we needed each other," says Travis. "Her marriage had been bad, and I was a total wreck. Plus, we shared an ambition to make it in the music business and worked night and day to make it happen. Our lives became inseparable."
Ironically, when Randy finally did get a deal, the record company—which changed his name to Travis—advised him to keep the relationship secret to avoid a fan backlash. "It drove me nuts, especially as it went on," he says. "I've always been truthful about everything—the drugs, the alcohol, the fights." But Travis and Hatcher played along, telling everyone they were "just friends." Because neither is given to public displays of affection ("I'm not comfortable with that." says Travis, while Lib adds simply: "Oh, please"), their story seemed credible. Perhaps a little too much so. In March 1991 a tabloid ran an article claiming Travis was gay. "That's one of the worst experiences I've ever been through in my life," recalls Hatcher. "Mostly because of Randy's anger. It was scary." Today, Travis is philosophical. "I've heard the rumors and, you know, I am a lot of things, but gay isn't one of them. Besides, if you ask me, that kind of stuff is no one else's business."
In any case, the experience prompted the couple to announce their relationship. Twelve weeks later they married. "We didn't tell anybody about the wedding," says Travis, "mostly because I saw no need for it to be a big event. But that's just me."
That love of privacy has also led the couple to spend most of their time since then on Maui, where they own both a ranch in the hills and a beach house. (They also have an 8,000-sq. ft. mansion on 200 acres outside Nashville.) In Hawaii their biggest worries are whether to bake banana bread or mango bread for breakfast and how to correctly program the VCR to tape favorites like Cheers and M*A*S*H. "Out here the big problems seem small and the small ones don't matter," says Travis. Hatcher regularly has beans and tomatoes Fed-Exed from their Nashville garden. "She's a great cook, and I like to eat." says Travis. The age gap, he says, hasn't proved a problem. If she won't join in his more athletic pursuits, "I just back off."
And both are learning to compromise. With Travis set to return to the road full-time next year for his first major tour in two years ("I just burned out on waking up in a different town every day"), Lib has already begun planning the schedule. "I have a list of the various outlet stores I like," she says. "I'm going to tell the promoter to book him in those cities with a day off before and after—for shopping."
