Farrell, James T. (James Thomas), 1904-1979
Extent: 800 linear feet

In addition to his professional works, Farrell produced a seemingly inexhaustible amount of correspondence, diaries, articles, and musings which covered a wide range of topics from politics to baseball. The currently available portion of this collection consists of over one hundred linear feet of personal and professional correspondence. Having kept many copies of his own drafts and letters as well, the correspondence provides a nearly complete view into Farrell's conversations with publishers, politicians, family, fans and critics. Perhaps most importantly, this collection represents Farrell's legacy — an insatiable writer who fought to leave his mark on the world.

I started seriously reading and reviewing digital security books in 2000. This is the 7th time I've formally announced a winner; see my bestbook label for previous winners.
I posted yesterday that 2012 was the year I changed what I read. For example, in 2011 I read and reviewed 22 technical books. In 2012, which a change in my interests, I only read and reviewed one technical book. Thankfully, it was a five star book, which means it is my BBBR 2012 winner!
As you might have figured out yesterday, this year's winner is SSH Mastery by Michael W Lucas. Feel free to read my Amazon.com review for details. Note that I bought a Kindle version from Amazon.com, and later MWL mailed me a print copy.
Besides the excellent style and content, one of the reasons I read the book was to experience MWL's first release of a self-published technical book. I think it was a successful endeavor, although I'm not prepared to try that route myself anytime soon.
If I were to name my favorite non-technical book I read in 2012, it would be For the President's Eyes Only: Secret Intelligence and the American Presidency from Washington to Bush by Christopher Andrew. I enjoyed learning more about American history through the eyes of the intel world, but I was shocked by how poorly most presidents understood and (mis)used intelligence.
I'm probably done reading and reviewing technical books, so I consider this to be the final BBBR post. I have over 100 possible (mainly nontechnical) books to read on my Kindle now (in Sample form), but I doubt I will review them when done.
Good luck reading in 2013!

Since my last roundup, much has transpired.
It seems that there were some predispositions towards finding 'Jonah and the Whale' on an ossuary. Both Mark Goodacre and David Meadows (via Goodacre) found evidence of this and have posted some compelling information. If this is the case, one should not be so surprised by the 'discovery' of precisely what Simcha and his team were looking for.
Most absurd is Simcha's claim that "NOBODY has been able to poke a hole into our reasoning or our facts or our methodology or our reporting." How about Mark Goodacre for starters (and as he points out, these mistakes still remain on the website today)? And while we're at it, Antonio Lombatti reports that Oded Golan was dishonest (*gasps and collapses under the weight of the shock*) about Rahmani's impression of the James ossuary inscription. Jim West points out the obvious errors in the connection of the tomb to Joseph of Arimathea. But I also highly recommend Christopher Rollston's critique of these claims as well. And James McGrath has quite a lot to say about the subject as well.
But the problems of both tombs don't start or stop here. Bob Cargill and I spent a lot of time analyzing the photos and it is pretty clear that there are cases of digital manipulation. We both agree that it is likely part of the ancient 'vase-motif'. In this regard we also both agree with Antonio Lombatti that the type of vase represented in the image doesn't matter quite as much (though I certainly feel as though it is an unguentarium).
In other news, but related, the date has (finally) been scheduled for a verdict in the case of Oded Golan (whether or not he is dealing in illegal antiquities trade and his connection to the James ossuary).

On December 14, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil action in the U.S. District Court of Nevada charging Marcus Luna, Nathan Montgomery, Adam Daskivich, David Murtha, St. Paul Venture Fund LLC ("St. Paul VF"), Minnesota Venture Capital, Inc. ("Minnesota VC"), Real Estate of Minnesota, Inc. ("Real Estate MN") and Matrix Venture Capital, Inc. ("Matrix VC") for their roles in a multi-million dollar scheme and for selling shares of Axis Technologies Group, Inc. stock in a public distribution without registration with the Commission.
The Commission's complaint alleges that:
Luna drafted and issued a legal opinion letter to a transfer agent that falsely stated the shares of Axis were unrestricted because they were issued pursuant to a valid exemption from registration under Rule 504 of Regulation D.
Luna further misrepresented that St. Paul VF, Minnesota VC, Real Estate MN and Matrix VC were accredited investors in Minnesota, and claimed that Minnesota state law permitted an exemption allowing accredited investors to purchase unrestricted shares from Axis.
These entities were not accredited investors, and moreover were simply conduits for distribution of the stock to the public. Soon after these alleged accredited investors received their shares, they transferred shares to promoters and sold the remaining shares to the public.
Luna, Montgomery, Daskivich and Murtha received profits totaling $6.88 million from St. Paul VF, Minnesota VC, Real Estate MN and Matrix VC sales of their shares of Axis stock.
The Commission's complaint alleges that Luna violated the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Luna, Montgomery, Daskivich, Murtha and their entities violated the registration provisions of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act. The Commission's complaint seeks from Montgomery, Daskivich, Murtha, St. Paul VF, Minnesota VC, Real Estate MN and Matrix VC: (1) a permanent injunction; (2) disgorgement of profits, including prejudgment interest; (3) a civil penalty; and (4) a penny stock bar. In addition, as to Luna, it seeks an order prohibiting Luna from providing professional legal services to any person in connection with the offer or sale of securities pursuant to, or claiming, an exemption under Regulation D, including, without limitation, participating in the preparation or issuance of any opinion letter related to such offerings.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

I am having some trouble obtaining the elastic potential energy and gravitational potential energy of a simple mass spring system.
In this experiment, masses attached to a spring were dropped from a position in which the spring had not be extended. For example, the 20g mass had an equilibrium position of $y=-34.00cm$ and it reached a maximum vertical displacement of $y=-35.83cm$.
Based on this, I found the amplitude of oscillation to be $17.92cm$
Then, using the spring constant and the mass, I determined the natural frequency: $\omega=21.21 rad{\cdot}s^{-1}$
I was able to create the following inital value problem: $$y(t)=c_{1}\cos({\omega}t) + c_{2}\sin({\omega}t)$$ $$y(0)=0$$ $$A=17.92\times 10^{-3}m$$
I solved it by To begin the solution considering the case $y=0$: $$y(t)=c_{1}cos(({\omega})(0)) + c_{2}sin(({\omega})(0))$$
Now, I used the amplitude to determine that $c_{2}=17.91\times 10^{-3}$
Skipping a few simple steps, I created to the following function:
$$y(t)=17.92\times 10^{-2}\cos(21.21t)-17.92\times 10^{-2}$$
Now, onto the elastic potential energy,
$$E_{e}=\frac{k\times y(t)^2}{2}$$
$$E_{e}=\frac{(9)(17.92\times 10^{-2}\cos(21.21t)-17.92\times 10^{-3})^2}{2}$$
$$E_{e}=0.15-0.29 \cos(21.21 t)+0.14 \cos^2(21.21 t)$$
This function does not at all resemble what it should look like, a simple periodic function.
I have a feeling that my problem is due to my assigned coordinate system.
Any help at all would be immensely appreciated.

With just two months to go before the release of The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct from Activision and Terminal Reality, we still haven't seen any official gameplay videos. On top of that, the details of the game are somewhat low, with us mostly knowing that it features Daryl and Merle traveling through Georgia, showing us what happened with those characters before the beginning of the TV show, and that they'll have to scrounge for supplies.
Because that's exactly what I was expecting in a zombie FPS. /s
Damn...the necrophiliac in me is disappointed. No zombie boobies or va-jay-jays. o_o

This week the crew discusses Richard Kelly's "The Box".
Zombieland? No, STAKE LAND, you dumb bitch! With the exception of the stupid tagline-- "A road movie...with teeth!" -- I think this might be cool. But, seriously, what is the deal with vampire film promotions and the use of the cliches "...with teeth!" or "...with bite!" Do you think that, the PR people, when sitting around in their offices, shooting wads of paper into a waste-basket with a basketball hoop over it, stumbling over one tagline after another that doesn't work, when they hit upon the "teeth" thing they high-five each other and snort coke off each other's balls in a celebratory circle-jerk because they think that they are the first ones to come up with it? They probably do.
Amy Heckerling, the has-been director of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", "Clueless" and some other shit, has signed on to direct the vampire romantic comedy "Vamps", about "two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immort....", oh shit, sorry, I just got my period all over the place. And on the day I chose to wear white pants!
Notorious schillers Bloody Disgusting have proclaimed that no-hit wonder Richard Kelly's "The Box" is "sure to deliver in more ways than one". I learned this after trying to figure out how to close the annoying, full-screen roll-over ad for the damn movie, with absolutely no success. I ended up just opening another window to look at another site as the trailer continued to screen without any hope of skipping it. I think that, right now, we should all get on our knees and thank Eric and Mark for creating a website with no roll-over ads, pop-up ads or reviews based on how much the advertisers pay us. On the other hand, DRINK PEPSI, THE CHOICE OF A NEW GENERATION!
2010's "Saw VII" is going to be in 3D. So, that happened.
Richard Kelly's "The Box" has been pushed back a week to November 6th, 2009. The studio is continuing their trend of treating this film like a dirty whore, so I wouldn't set your heart on a release date until you're actually sitting in a seat.
So, yesterday Lindsday Lohan seemed to indicate via her twitter page that she had signed on to Robert Rodriguez's "Machete". A quick perusal of the page now reveals that the tweets in question have been deleted. So... that may or may not have happened.
Check out this cool preview video for Universal's Hallween Horror Nights.
Zac Efron has signed on to do a thriller for Mandate Pictuers, from the writer who brought you "Hairspray". You know what, that's just too easy.
The "Sorority Row" remake gets moved up, from October 2nd to September 11th.
The trailer for Richard Kelly's "The Box" has finally landed. This actually looks really solid considering it's been pushed back so many times. But opening opposite "Saw"? Really? Sort of sounds like giving it an excuse to fail to me.

More than a little dismissively – and unfairly – the Toyota RAV4 was in its early years referred to as a hairdresser's car.
Quite what that label was down to is lost in the mists of time but was probably because it was the first of the so-called soft-roaders. It had the raised ride height and look of a scaled-down SUV but was unlikely to be called upon to do anything more challenging than dodge the trolleys at the local supermarket.
It was the first crossover when it arrived here in 1994 and introduced us to a new kind of car, aiming to combine the rugged stance of an SUV with compact dimensions and the handling ability of a hatchback.
The i newsletter latest news and analysis
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Design 2WD
Price: £31,190
Engine: 2.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol plus electric motor
Power: 176bhp
Torque: 1634lb/ft
Top speed 112mph
0-62 mph 8.4 secs
Economy: 50mpg
CO2 emissions: 105 g/km
25 years on Toyota have decided the time has come for some big changes in their hugely successful crossover, the first, and still the world's best-seller in spite of competition from almost every other manufacturer.
The latest fifth generation bears the same name, but is a completely different beast.
In typical Japanese style the name was based on the role it was to play in its owners' lives. The Recreational Activity Vehicle with the option of four-wheel- drive has been modified over the years to meet different customer demands but according to the marketing people it now stands for Robust – with great handling and ability in rough road conditions; Accurate – improved visibility and storage with great efficiency, range and safety in a Vehicle which has the option of even more advanced four-wheel-drive.
At its heart is an all-new platform with core strengths of a low centre of gravity and a lightweight and strong balanced chassis that gives its driver big rewards in exceptional handling and stability.
Every component has been made lighter and positioned lower down in the vehicle – everything from the engine to the seats. The fuel tank now lies in front of the rear axle so that its load is spread evenly between the wheels which helps achieve flat, stable performance.
It's lower, longer, wider with a higher ride height and it's faster, quieter and more fuel efficient.
It is one of two cars in its class with its self-charging, hybrid powertrain – in the previous model the choice of almost all customers in Western Europe and even more so in the UK. Just three years ago 88 per cent of RAV4 owners opted for a diesel engine. By last year that had plummeted to just 4 per cent with 91 per cent choosing a hybrid version, which is why the latest hybrid is the only model on offer.
Key components, including the power control unit and the nickel-metal hybrid battery are more compact and lighter, and the transaxle and transmission have been engineered to reduce electrical and mechanical losses.
On the road, the car feels confident and happy to provide exactly the power – either conventional petrol or electric – whenever needed although there is a noticeable contrast in sound when alternating between the two. The CVT auto transmission is less whiny than before and is superbly smooth in its delivery.
I spent most of my time in a two-wheel-drive version but managed to squeeze in some off-roading in a four-wheel-drive model with a new automatic limited-slip differential control called Trail Mode designed to ensure the best possible grip on poor surfaces.
If it detects that a driven wheel has lost contact with the ground on uneven surfaces, it automatically brakes that wheel and sends torque direct to the one which has grip. It is impressive and provides greater security for adventurous types who'll know they should still be able to keep going no matter how tough the going gets.
The new version also looks pretty good with a powerful, beefy front end which emphasises its increased width. On the inside too it feels very spacious.
Rear seat passengers have an extra 40mm width, larger footwells and because of the bigger opening angle of the back doors, getting in and out and seeing to little ones in child seats has been made easier.
The load space behind the rear seats is larger with a reversible double-deck, fully-flat longer floor. 60/40 split seating means the space can be adapted for more cargo room. With the rear seats folded down you can even get in a 29-inch mountain bike – without having to take off any wheels.
There's a good quality feel to the cabin with soft-touch surfaces on the dashboard and door panels and the switches and controls come easily to hand. A lot of work has been done to improve visibility. The low-set instrument panel helps to give the driver a clearer view of the road ahead and by moving the door mirrors further back, vision to the side is better too.
A powered tailgate is standard across the range except for the entry level Icon grade but the hands-free foot operation is not as yet an option for UK models. Also not coming to us, for the moment at least, is the smart camera-operated rear-view mirror which still gives a clear picture of what's behind even if the loadspace is crammed full or if the back window is obscured by road dirt.
The RAV4's role may have changed but it is still an impressive machine with lower emissions, more power, greater tax savings and higher residual values than its rivals including the VW Tiguan, the Ford Kuga or Honda's CR-V.

An LPL Financial (LPLA) partner in the retirement benefits field said Wednesday that it hired five consultants. The Retirement Benefits Group (RBG), an LPL Retirement Partners advisory firm with some $7 billion in assets, said these additions "mark another step in RBG's rapid growth."
The five advisors—Matthew Haerr, Christine Soscia, Amir Arbabi, Peter Littlejohn and William Brown—will provide retirement guidance to institutional clients in the areas of plan design, compliance and investment due diligence, as well as communication and education. They are based in San Diego; Akron, Ohio; Las Vegas; and Idaho Falls, Idaho.
"Our rapid growth continues with the addition of these five leading advisors who have many years of experience in the retirement plan space," said Darrell Alford (left), principal of the Retirement Benefits Group, in a press release. "With new offices in Idaho and Nevada, we now cover most of the western United States and will continue to expand east, even as we maintain our total focus on providing retirement plan financial advice that is second to none."
The RBG group, which is not owned by LPL, is "delighted to work with LPL Financial Retirement Partners, which has acted as a strong enabling partner in our ongoing growth," Alford added.
"In an increasingly complex retirement landscape for participants, plan sponsors are looking for advisors with fiduciary expertise to help them choose plan structures and investment options that have the potential to offer greater retirement security for their workers," he explained. "We are proud that Retirement Benefits Group has expanded over the years as a leader in this space by acting as just such a partner to plan sponsors.
Haerr has been a financial advisor for more than 20 years and has worked with company-sponsored retirement plans, family and personal wealth management, and personal retirement planning throughout his career.
Soscia has been in the financial services industry for more than 15 years. She has worked with business owners in helping design, audit and implement employee benefit programs.
Arbabi assists companies on plan design, fiduciary oversight and investment due diligence. In addition to his expertise in plan consulting, he has extensive knowledge of wealth and investment management from his training at firms such as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
Littlejohn joins with more than 27 years of retirement plan experience, most recently at Highmark Capital Management in San Francisco. Earlier, he led retirement businesses at Ivy Funds, Wells Fargo, Strong Capital Management and Cigna Retirement and Investment Services.
"We congratulate Retirement Benefits Group for their continued successful growth as a leading firm within the retirement plan space," said Bill Chetney, executive vice president of LPL Financial Retirement Partners, in a statement. "We are proud to be an enabling partner to Retirement Benefits Group and other advisor practices focused on this space as they work to help Americans realize their retirement aspirations, and we expect to see strong continued growth in this area."

Paris 2012: Lamborghini Debuts Facelifted Gallardo, With New Trim Levels
Aging is inevitable, even for the Lamborghini Gallardo. Exotic it may be, but it's been on sale since 2003, and almost 13,000 copies of the supercar have left Lamborghini's production line in Sant'Agata Bolognese in that time. For 2013, the Gallardo receives only a nip and a tuck, as well as some new trim levels. Lamborghini previewed the changes with a dramatic CGI video and debuted the car at the Paris Motor Show.
The video we saw earlier today suggests that the new Gallardo is all new, but underneath the skin and body panels the Gallardo is essentially the same as always. Its 5.2-liter V-10 makes between 550 and 570 horsepower, depending on configuration, sent through either a six-speed e-gear automated manual or a six-speed manual transmission, and to either the rear or all wheels. It's still available in standard coupe, Superleggera (superlight) coupe, and convertible bodystyles.
Customers who choose the 550-horsepower trims (the LP550-2 Coupe and Spyder) won't see any changes for 2013, but customers who choose the LP560-4 coupe (the mid-range model) will receive newfront and rear clips, with styling best described as trapezoidal. To match the more aggressive look, Lamborghini added new matte-black and silver 19-inch wheels at all four corners. Customers looking for even more flair can opt for the new style package, which lumps in gloss-black accents on the front and rear grilles, along with other matching trim pieces.
Customers who want 570 horsepower in their Gallardo, however, will have more options. The LP570-4 Superleggera and LP570-4 Spyder Performante receive a new options package called Edizione Tecnica. Add this, and the car receives a fixed wing on the rear deck, carbon-ceramic brakes, and exclusive two-tone paint jobs. Lamborghini plans on limiting colors to three schemes (i.e. a matte black body with orange pillars and intakes, matte white with orange pillars and intakes, and orange with matte black pillars and intakes), but notes if none tickles your fancy -- and you're willing to reach deep into your pocket -- bespoke hues can be ordered through its "Ad Personam" personalization program.
There's no confirmation from Lamborghini yet, but it still appears that we'll see an all-new Gallardo a little further down the road -- perhaps as soon as next year's Frankfurt Motor Show.

I've waited to blog about the Mac App Store because I didn't want to jump to conclusions based on just a few days of sales. We're now at the end of the first fiscal month for Apple's newest software store and I'm ready to reveal my findings. Let's start with a graph, because everyone likes a good graphic.
Above is a chart of unit sales for MoneyWell from AppFigures.com, a resource that I highly recommend for tracking your sales. The bar chart shows unit sales and the line charts show ranking. The labels aren't perfect, so I'll explain them. The red line is Top Paid Overall (units), the green line is Top Grossing Overall (profit), the violet and blue lines are Top Paid and Top Grossing in the Finance category, respectively.
For the tl;dr crowd, my overall opinion of the Mac App Store is positive. I think it's already a great resource for increased sales and it will only become better as more Mac users migrate to 10.6.6 and are trained to use it exclusively when OS X Lion ships.
MAS or No MAS
My biggest concern selling my apps on the Mac App Store had to do with cash flow. I recently expanded my development team and we are shoulder deep in MoneyWell 2.0 development, so overhead is up. With a new major release comes a need for newer, prettier pixels, so I've also had to set aside cash to pay a graphic artist. I couldn't afford to have my normal direct sales bank deposits, which occur four times a month, to turn into a 60-day wait for income. I won't receive a dime from Apple on the sales you see in the above chart until the end of February. That's just way too long to go without any revenue when employees and contractors haven't signed up for the same two-month delay.
Besides losing cash flow, I also wanted to be able to compare direct and app store sales. Running both throughout the month of January was very revealing. My direct sales are right on target with my projections for January based on MoneyWell sales in the previous two years. Unit sales from the Apple store are three to four times our direct sales. The two stores seem to be capturing customers independent of each other. Selling my apps through the Mac App Store has almost tripled my overall revenue. I'm not complaining at all.
What's more remarkable is that these sales are all without any significant promotion. I sent one mass mailing to my customer base announcing that we were in the Mac App Store and explained how upgrades and migrations would work, but I did no outside sales promotions. MoneyWell was picked as a Staff Favorite, which lasted for about a week, but the spikes in sales towards the middle and end of the month were strictly from more people finding us in the store.
The biggest boost appears to have come from reviews. MoneyWell received half a dozen 4- and 5-star reviews right before the first spike and doubled those reviews by the second spike. I have not adjusted the price at all; it still sells for $49.99 on and off the Mac App Store. There was a Debt Quencher sale, but that doesn't appear to have a direction relation to the MoneyWell spikes.
It's pretty easy to spot when I offered a limited $4.99 sale price of Debt Quencher on the chart above. What's harder to spot is the next transition from $14.99 back to $4.99. The last three bars show the new price point, which will probably become the new retail price. You can see that there is growth, but without a promotion that has a deadline for that discount, there was no spike. Here's a chart showing Debt Quencher profit.
I'm currently earning less money selling Debt Quencher at the discounted price but I'm confident that sales will continue to rise at this lower price point. Even with the additional sales from the Mac App Store, this will probably never be a product that will cover the company overhead. Later this year, we plan to give Debt Quencher a revised UI and additional features to see if we can push this lower-priced product higher on the Top Paid chart. The goal is to use this impulse purchase product to lead people to our more profitable MoneyWell software.
Topping the Charts
What's most exciting to me is MoneyWell's rank in the overall top grossing list. We've been staying in the top 40 apps and have hit 20 as our peak. This means we get just a bit more visibility when people are looking around the store—the top 30 or 40 show without even scrolling down the page. I think we have an advantage over apps like games because the Finance category fits all its apps on a single page without needing further breakdown or navigation.
The magic number for visibility on the Top Charts page seems to be twelve, which is the number of apps that show before you have to click See All > and navigate deeper. My guess is that those apps are seeing higher sales by a factor of ten—or the square of that if Pixelmator is representative of the high-end revenue. Let's just say that my goal with our 2.0 release is to break into the dirty dozen.
Going Forward
My strategy is to continue to sell direct as well as on the Mac App Store. I see no reason to give up an extra 25% of my profit just to steer customers to the Apple solution. My direct sales through my FastSpring store are highly automated and don't require my intervention to process them. I can also run promotions and bundles on my site that can't be done through the Mac App Store. If my customers prefer to get their software updates from Apple, I certainly won't discourage them from using the other store.
It's really the best of both worlds: My existing sales are staying at projected levels and Mac App Store sales are even higher with an upward trend. If at some point my direct sales drop to near zero levels because everyone prefers shopping in Apple's house, I'll think about turning off my back end. Until then, I'll offer the same upgrades for my products no matter where my customers shop.

Matt Goldberg wrote:New details have emerged on Walter Hill's upcoming action flick Headshot starring Sylvester Stallone and Thomas Jane. As we previously reported, the story centers on a hitman (Stallone) and an NYPD detective (Jane) who team up to exact revenge. According to What's Playing, the film will be, much like Stallone's The Expendables, a throwback to 80s buddy action flicks. Hill reportedly signed on for the flick because it reminded him of the films he used to make like 48 Hrs. and Red Heat. WP also says that Hill has fine-tuned Alessandro Camon's script and improved the "cool" dialogue and central relationship between Stallone and Jane's characters.
I desperately hope that this film is better than Expendables and having Hill behind the camera gives me that hope. However, it's interesting/sad that ever since 2006's Rocky Balboa, Stallone has essentially acknowledged that he's a relic and that the only way his stardom can continue is if he can transport audiences back to when he was actually a star.
Gregg Kilday wrote:Joel Silver's Dark Castle Entertainment has come on board Walter Hill's upcoming action thriller starring Sylvester Stallone, and the film is now set to be distributed domestically through Warner Bros.
Silver's Dark Castle is partnering with Stuart Ford's IM Global and Courtney Solomon's After Dark Films on the project, based on the graphic novel Bullet to the Head, written by Matz and illustrated by Colin Wilson.
The plot involves a New Orleans hitman, to be played by Stallone, who joins up with a New York City cop to form an alliance to bring down the killers of their respective partners.
Sung Kang, of Fast Five, has been cast in a supporting role in the production, which is set to begin filming in Louisiana later in June.
Silver previously collaborated with Hill on the movies 48 Hours and Warriors and HBO's Tales from the Crypt.
Silver, who also produced the Stallone movies Demolition Man and Assassins, said, "Sylvester Stallone is an iconic action star the world over and I'm thrilled to be working with him again. I look forward to joining with IM Global and After Dark in bringing this exciting new story to the screen."
Added Ford, "Joel and his Dark Castle team are the perfect partners to help steer a project like this successfully forward and we're delighted to have them onboard, as well as having Warner Bros. as the U.S. distribution home
for the film."
The new film -- which previously referred to as Headshot -- will be billed as a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation, in association with Dark Castle Entertainment, IM Global and After Dark Films. Alexandra Milchan, Miles Millar, Alfred Gough, Kevin King-Templeton and Andrew Rona will also serve as producers. Ford, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Deepak Nayar, Solomon, Allan Zeman and Steve Richards will executive produce.

Outside of the "Fast and Furious" franchise, Kang has appeared in the Silver-produced "Ninja Assassin" and 20th Century Fox's "Live Free or Die Hard," as well as the indie "The Motel."
Kang is repped by Management 360.
Hunter Daniels wrote:JANE: Well, Wayne Kramer brought me into the project and when Wayne left the project I suggested Walter Hill to Stallone and the next week they hired Walter Hill and I was very happy about that because I've always wanted to work with him.
But then did the studio sort of…
JANE: Well, Joel Silver came onboard the project and said that he has a quote-unquote 'formula' for these quote-unquote 'buddy movies' and it has to be a white guy and a quote-unquote 'ethnic guy.' And they relieved me of duty and basically paid me off, which I was really upset about, you know? I didn't get a call from Stallone. I was a little upset about that. Maybe they didn't want anybody on the movie with a bigger dick than him.
Wayne Kramer was sort of abruptly fired from that film too. Was it over him being too violent? Because I've been told that it's still an R-rated movie and Stallone's comment was that [Kramer had] made a [script] that was too violent and that they were doing something that was a little less extreme.
JANE: Well, Wayne Kramer is very dark, very extreme, which I personally like. But I know that Stallone is a bit more of a traditionalist. That doesn't make it worse it just makes it different. Walter Hill for my money was the man to fulfill both. He can do great with character and he's great with action. So he is the man…I hope they can still make a great film without me.
Is there any chance they could find another role in the film for you?
JANE: I doubt it. I'm kinda like the spurned lover…let 'em go shoot themselves.
In the head?
JANE: No, I mean…shoot the film themselves. (laughter).
MIKE FLEMING wrote:EXCLUSIVE: Mikael Hafstrom is in talks to direct Sylvester Stallone in The Tomb, a drama backed by Emmett/Furla Films and Summit Entertainment. Hafstrom has been circling the project for some time, but things were stalled while Stallone was in Bulgaria. He's finishing up the film in New Orleans, and things seem to be moving. Harry Knowles is reporting the possibility of a re-team between Stallone and his Expendables 2 co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Tomb. I've heard the same chatter, and checked over the past several days. I've been told Schwarzenegger's been approached, but insiders in the production say that it hasn't progressed beyond that at this point. It's one of those in-the-air pairings that seems to make too much sense not to happen. Schwarzenegger is certainly familiar with the script, as he once considered playing the lead role that is now Stallone (Bruce Willis was once attached to make it with Antoine Fuqua). In the drama that was scripted by Miles Chapman, got a rewrite from Jason Keller and now has Chapman working on the latest draft with Hafstrom, Stallone plays a man who has designed a high-tech prison that is said to be escape-proof. When he is set up and sent to the prison he created, he essentially must go up against himself to escape and find retribution. Hafstrom's credits include last year's The Rite and 2007′s 1408 and he's repped by WME.

I understand the OPC position that homosexual behavior, as well as any sexual behavior outside a monogamous, heterosexual marriage, is sinful. What about homosexual/bisexual "sexual orientation"? Are same-sex attractions, in and of themselves, sinful or is the problem the behavior itself? If one does have a homosexual orientation (or, if you don't believe in that concept, a tendency to find members of the same sex attractive on a regular basis), what is this person supposed to do? Could someone who is celibate (or faithful in heterosexual marriage) but still troubled by same-sex desires end up going to hell for their thoughts?
As you recognize is possible, I don't find the category "sexual orientation" particularly helpful. Rather, I think it more helpful for each of us to ask whether our sexual interests and desires are ordered in a godly and biblical way. This perspective fits in with the OPC's position on sexual behavior, found in the explanation of the 7th Commandment in our Larger Catechism. (Questions 137-139; you can find the Larger Catechism, with Scripture proofs, here.) The commandment "You shall not commit adultery" forbids "adultery, fornication, rape, incest, sodomy, and all unnatural lusts; all unclean imaginations, thoughts, purposes, and affections." Thus, not only homosexual behavior, but desires as well, are sinful.
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.... For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." (Rom. 1:24, 26-27)
"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Matt. 5:28)
"Could someone who is celibate (or faithful in heterosexual marriage) but still troubled by same-sex desires end up going to hell for their thoughts?" All people who commit sins are condemned to hell, and, as Romans 1 and Matthew 5 make clear, lust is a sin. The only escape from hell is not a lust-free thought life, but the cross of Christ. Those who lust (whether for men or women, heterosexually or homosexually) should repent and seek forgiveness from God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The Bible tells us that no Christian must go through her or his life stuck in a sin. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor. 5:17). "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Habitual patterns of sin, especially strongly rooted ones such as sexual lust, can be very difficult to break, but the Holy Spirit is strong enough to enable every believer to conquer any sin. I encourage anyone struggling with sin to ask for help from their pastor. Sin can be rooted out and lives made holy. To assert otherwise is to assert Christ's work on the cross didn't do what the Bible says it does. What Christian would want to say that?
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

am a 1996 graduate of the Chicago School of Massage Therapy (now Cortiva Institute). I have been an instructor in both the diploma and continuing education programs at Cortiva Institute-Chicago, since 2005; where I have assisted in curriculum development as well as developed course for advanced education. I have assisted Bob King (a co-founder of the school she attended) in many continuing education workshops in the Chicago area, and other parts of the country. In addition to this, I have also developed and taught Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology courses at Zen Shiatsu in Evanston. I have advanced training in Myofascial Therapy, Sports Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Reiki, Thai Massage, and Personal Training. I became a Certified Kinesio Tape Practitioner in 2007, and now utilize the Power Taping Method. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois-Chicago. I have maintained a massage therapy practice since 1996. I currently own Urban Wellness Chicago.
I have always been passionate about my work as a massage therapist. When I became an instructor of Massage, that passion grew to depths I have only begun to comprehend. I have interests in this field that are all over the place, so I am constantly challenging myself to draw connections. In some respects many therapists have already done this, I have too, but NOW I am acknowledging it. In the massage world, we are taught and encouraged to have an unconditional positive regard toward our clients. Why not have this with our practice of modalities as well. Bridging the gap is how I often refer to this thought. My vision is for massage and bodywork to grow, be accepted, and to be practiced in the manor in which other countries do.
Though I seem to work primarily with athletes, thats not all. I often work with those in need of injury management and care, those with repetitive strain and pain due to postural misalignment and overuse, as well as adolescents, Pre-natal clients, and much more. I look forward to working with you too!

Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life $400
AMMO Books is honored to present this beautiful, large-format title as the definitive monograph of artist Charley Harper's six-decades-long career. Renowned, New York-based designer Todd Oldham rediscovered Charley's work in 2001 and collaborated closely with him, combing through his extensive archive to edit and design this stunning AMMO Books release.
Charley Harper is an American original who created his art from his home studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, until his death on June 10, 2007, at the age of 84. He is beloved for his delightful, graphic, and often humorous illustrations of nature, animals, insects, and people alike. Charley liked to say that when he paints a bird, he doesn't count all the feathers in the wings—he just counts the wings. Minimal realism, he called it, and his unique and precise style continues to resonate and inspire his admirers.
CHARLEY HARPER—AN ILLUSTRATED LIFE showcases his illustrations that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well as in books such as the beloved, "The Giant Golden Book of Biology" in 1961, "Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two" in 1961, and "The Animal Kingdom" in 1968, among many others. His well-loved book, "Birds and Words," first published in 1974, is considered a classic. Remarkably, however, Charley's work had never before been published in one complete retrospective. Accordingly, this massive volume is the definitive Charley Harper book to have on your bookshelf!
Each numbered, limited edition book was personally signed by Charley Harper and Todd Oldham. Each edition comes in an elegant cloth slipcase, with a silkscreen edition print stamped by the Charley Harper estate.
With silkscreen print, Shadow Dancers, 1964
250 numbered copies available

Study: Fewer abortions worldwide; increase in unsafe abortions
A new study finds that although abortion rates around the world have leveled off, unsafe abortions across the globe continue to rise.
Researchers noted between 1995 and 2003 the abortion rate per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 to 44 dropped from the 35 to 29 worldwide. But in 2008 the global abortion rate remained the same at about 28 per every 1,000 women.
Yet alarmingly, researchers say the proportion of abortions thought to be unsafe rose from 44% in 1995 to 49% in 2008. The study is published in The Lancet.
"These latest figures are deeply disturbing," noted Dr. Richard Horton, Editor of The Lancet, "The progress made in the 1990s is now in reverse. Promoting and implementing policies to reduce the number of abortions is now an urgent priority for all countries and for global health agencies, such as WHO. Condemning, stigmatizing, and criminalizing abortion are cruel and failed strategies. It's time for a public health approach that emphasizes reducing harm – and that means more liberal abortion laws, " Horton continued.
The study also found about 78% of all abortions took place in the developing world in 1995. That number increased to 86% by 2008, even though the number of women of childbearing age in those countries rose more slowly.
And even though the abortion rate has declined over the years, the study found there were 2.2 million more abortions in 2008 (43.8 million) compared with 2003 (41.6 million).
Study authors believe the changes in abortion rates between 1995 and 2008 coincide with a lack of modern contraceptive methods available to women worldwide. They also noted family planning services don't seem to be keeping up with the increasing demand by people across the globe who want to have smaller families and therefore better control of the timing of births.

New York Times
DETROIT - U.S. automakers said Wednesday that sales of pickup trucks rose sharply in April because of a revival in the housing market and increased demand from the oil and gas industry.
The increase in truck sales fueled double-digit sales growth at all three Detroit automakers and kept the industry on track to sell more than 15 million vehicles this year.
Auto analysts said the overall industry sold about 1.3 million new vehicles during April, a 10 percent improvement over the same month a year ago. It was the best April performance since 2007 and another indication that sales of new cars and trucks in the United States are returning to prerecession levels.
"As long as automakers keep reporting their best sales in at least five years, we'll continue to be in good shape," said Jessica Caldwell, an analyst with the automobile research site Edmunds.com.
Auto executives said pickup sales grew three times as much as the overall market did during the month and were a direct result of improved housing starts and strong demand for trucks by the energy sector.
The biggest beneficiary was Ford, the second-largest U.S. automaker, which reported that it sold 212,000 vehicles during the month, an 18 percent gain from a year ago.
Ford, which recently reported record first-quarter profits in North America, said sales of its F-Series pickups increased 24 percent in April to 59,000 vehicles.
"F-Series continues to lead the pace in the truck industry," said Ken Czubay, Ford's head of sales and marketing in the United States. "We are building as many as we can."
Ford reported impressive gains across its lineup, with sales of the Escape SUV up by 52 percent and sales of the Fusion sedan up 24 percent. Even its struggling Lincoln luxury brand had a 20 percent improvement because of strong sales of the new MKZ sedan.
General Motors, which sold 237,000 vehicles during April, said Cadillac had the best performance of its four brands, recording a 34 percent gain primarily from sales of its new ATS compact sedan and large XTS model. GM also reported big gains on the truck side, as sales of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup increased 28 percent to 39,000 vehicles.
Chrysler, the smallest of the Detroit companies, said it sold 156,000 new vehicles during April, its 37th consecutive month of year-over-year sales gains. The Ram pickup led the way with a 49 percent gain from a year ago. Chrysler also enjoyed strong performances by its profitable SUV models, with sales of the Dodge Durango up 65 percent and sales of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee up 27 percent.
All three Detroit automakers gained market share during April and are expected to sustain that momentum with new products arriving this summer.

This fall semester is about over and soon students will be responding to the SRTEs. For many students, the opportunity to give feedback to their instructors, is a phenomenon that begins in college. That trend, however, is changing. According to the article "Why Kids Should Grade Teachers" a growing number of American schools across the country are asking their students, some as young as kindergarten, to evaluate their teachers.
Some interesting findings are emerging. Student ratings tend to be fairly stable from class to class and from fall to spring. Race and income done have much impact on results. What is clear is that students are looking for a classroom where the teacher has control and makes learning challenging. And one city, Memphis, has become the first school system in the country to link survey results to teachers' annual reviews by having the surveys count for 5% of a teacher's evaulation.
A variety of questions are being asked on these surveys, but the five most correlated with student learning are listed below:
1. Students in this class treat the teacher with respect.
2. My classmates behave the way my teacher wants them to.
3. Our class stays busy and doesn't waste time.
4. In this class, we learn a lot almost every day.
5. In this class, we learn to correct our mistakes.
What can those of us in higher education learn from this article? Are we, for example, asking the right questions? Are we using the information we gather from students to define quality teaching and to inform better practice?

NEW YORK, N.Y. - She must have seen this coming.
Theresa Caputo, star of the TLC reality show "Long Island Medium," has a book deal. The memoir to be published by Atria Books, a Simon & Schuster imprint, will be called "There's More To Life Than This: Healing Messages, Remarkable Stories, and Insight About the Other Side."
Atria says the book will give readers insight into Caputo's life and better understanding of her "remarkable gift" while teaching them about messages she receives from the beyond.
Caputo, a mother of two from Hicksville, N.Y., says she started seeing spirits at age 4. Her TLC reality show has had three seasons.
