This series covers all areas of research at Perimeter Institute, as well as those outside of PI's scope.
In any quantum field theory, the energy flux at a point of spacetime can be negative. This would produce a repulsive gravitational field causing nearby light rays to defocus. This in turn threatens to produce a variety of exotic phenomena including traversable wormholes, warp drives, time machines, and evasion of singularity theorems. I will describe a new "quantum focusing conjecture" that prevents such pathologies. In the flat spacetime limit it reduces to a novel lower bound on the energy density, which can be proven for several classes of field theories.
Precision atom interferometry is poised to become a powerful tool for discovery in fundamental physics. Towards this end, I will describe recent, record-breaking atom interferometry experiments performed in a 10-meter drop tower that demonstrate long-lived quantum superposition states with macroscopic spatial separations.
Radio pulsars are Nature's most perfect clock and hence are useful for precision work on a wide variety of physical and astrophysical topics, ranging from sensitive tests of relativistic gravity to constraining the equation of state of ultradense matter. I will describe current ongoing surveys for radio pulsars using the two largest radio telescopes in the world, and how these surveys are also valuable for searching for Fast Radio Bursts, a newly recognized astrophysical phenomenon of unknown origin.
In the summer of 2015, the speaker led a team at Microsoft Research, comprised primarily of research interns from seven universities, to demonstrate a social, ambulatory, Mixed Reality system for the first time. Each intern developed a preliminary, domain-specific exploration of how such a system could be used. One of the interns, Andrzej Banburski of the Perimeter Institute, demonstrated an interface to Mathematica.
A quantum entanglement is a special kind of correlation; it may yield a strong correlation that is not possible in a classical ensemble, or hide the correlation from all local observables. Especially important is the entanglement that arises from local interactions for its implications in many-body physics and future's quantum technologies.
Topological phases of matter are phases of matter which are not characterized
by classical local order parameters of some sort. Instead, it is the global properties
of quantum many-body ground states which distinguish one topological phase from
another. One way to detect such global properties is to put the system on a topologically
non-trivial space (spacetime). For example, topologically ordered phases in (2+1)
dimensions exhibit ground state degeneracy which depends on the topology of the spatial manifold.
Topological quantum computation is based on the possibility of the realization of some TQFTs in Nature as topological phases of quantum matter. Theoretically, we would like to classify topological phases of matter, and experimentally, find non-abelian objects in Nature. We will discussion some progress for a general audience.
Experiments and observations over the last decade and a half have persuaded cosmologists that (as yet undetected) dark energy is by far the main component of the energy budget of the universe. I review a few simple dark energy models and compare their predictions to observational data, to derive dark energy model-parameter constraints and to test consistency of different data sets. I conclude with a list of open cosmological questions.
After the completion of the Planck satellite, the next most important experiments in cosmology will be about mapping the Large Scale Structures of the Universe. In order to continue to make progress in our understanding of the early universe, it is essential to develop a precise understanding of this system. The Effective Filed Theory of Large Scale Structures provides a novel framework to analytically compute the clustering of the Large Scale Structures in the weakly non-linear regime in a consistent and reliable way.

DETECTIVES hunting cannibal murder suspect Luka Magnotta fear he could be a
serial killer.
They are set to launch a huge cold case review as soon as the fugitive is
Cops are convinced Magnotta may have killed others in recent years and are now
desperate to snare him as soon as they can.
Former gay porn star Magnotta, 29, has now spent eight nights on the run since
fleeing Montreal after a male pal was found CHOPPED up and EATEN.
Police also confirmed a sickening online film which allegedly showed the
grisly murder taking place WAS authentic.
Montreal Police Commander Ian Lafrenière said: "The film is just so graphic
and disturbing.
"Imagine the worst horror movie you've ever seen and it's worse than that
and it's real. The murderer just tears the victim apart like a doll."
Last night a police source vowed: "The number one priority for us is catching
"But you can bet as soon as we've done that we'll be going through cold cases,
unsolved murders, to see if there are any links to him at all."
The shock new twist emerged 48 hours after we handed over our file of evidence
to cops in Montreal.
The Sun had warned Scotland Yard last December of the danger Magnotta posed
after he had two sinister meetings with our reporters.
At the time, we showed Met detectives vile footage of Magnotta killing a live
kitten by feeding it to a python.
We also flagged up a mysterious email sent to our offices just two days after
Magnotta had met Sun man Alex West and hinted a human would be next to die
on film.
The email's sender chillingly boasted: "Once you kill, and taste blood, it's
impossible to stop. The urge is just too strong not to continue." But the
force dropped its probe and did not pass on what may prove to have been
potentially life-saving intelligence to cops in Magnotta's home nation.
Mr Lafrenière told us: "It would have been helpful to have had this six months
ago. When you read the email in the wake of the week gone past you think the
sender is saying, 'It's coming'. You read that email and, whoever's behind
it, he's celebrating and enjoying every word."
Bi-sexual Magnotta is thought to be in hiding in Europe. He has at least three
aliases and could be dressed in DRAG — using wigs and make-up to
disguise his appearance.
But Mr Lafrenière added: "Magnotta is leaving a lot of traces behind,
that's for sure.
"Whether that's because he wants us to find them isn't certain, but he's
deliberately looking for attention. He wants publicity big time." Yesterday
it emerged cops had investigated Magnotta for sexually assaulting a girl in
Ontario in 2005, but the case was later dropped.
Photos posted on dozens of his social media profiles show Magnotta in cities
all over the globe.
In one he pretends to stab an actor dressed as a gladiator outside Rome's
Colosseum. Other photos show him brandishing a knife, holding a cat and
posing in front of Moscow's famous onion domes.
Last night a police source admitted: "This is the worst case many of us have
seen in our entire careers."

Researchers Prove What Mom Said About Yogurt, Milk By Chris Rowett Since the early 1900s physicians and parents have believed that something in yogurt and other milk products prevents acute diarrhea. Now--with a study that may have farreaching implications--researchers at the Hopkins Children's Center have proved it. For the first time, study results scientifically prove that Bifodbacteri bifidum, commonly found in breast milk, and Streptococcus thermophilus, a microorganism in cultured milk products like yogurt, can reduce acute diarrhea in sick youngsters by as much as 80 percent. Those bacteria also prevent the excretion of dangerous organisms that cause diarrhea to spread between children. The study appears in the current issue of Lancet. "These findings may change the way we feed toddlers exposed to lots of other 5-to-24-month-olds," said Robert Yolken, director of pediatric infectious diseases. Additionally, the findings may be applied by relief organizations serving Third World countries, where acute diarrhea leads to millions of childhood deaths annually. More than 100 children in the United States die each year from the disease, Dr. Yolken said. In the 17-month study involving 55 children from infants to toddlers, a group of patients at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital were fed formula containing both bacteria. Another group was fed placebo formula. Only 7 percent of those on the supplemented formula developed diarrhea, compared to 31 percent of those given the placebo formula. Equally significant, only 3 percent of the children on the supplement excreted rotavirus, the most common and contagious viral cause of diarrhea in infants. Ten percent of the patients on the placebo formula showed signs of rotavirus. "These results tell us that a simple solution could have major national and international health effects," Dr. Yolken said. The bacteria may one day come in pill or powder form for everyday ingestion, he said. Though he is cautious and will not make a blanket recommendation to parents about their children's diets, Dr. Yolken said he would not be surprised if other physicians suggest feeding yogurt to children to prevent diarrhea. "That would be reasonable," he said. "And I don't see any reason why a parent wouldn't want to do that." Further research is needed, he said. "What we'd like to know is whether similar preparations would prevent diarrhea in day care centers, senior citizens and soldiers who go abroad," Dr. Yolken said. "It's something that probably should be looked at." The study was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and from Carnation Nutritional Products, which prepared and supplied the two study formulas.

"…One more time."
Artemis uncurled her index fingers — his index fingers; oh crap, this was gonna get confusing quick — and gestured them in a "Wait a damn minute" to the other occupant of Mount Justice's hospital wing (a very untroubled teenage girl fixated on how thick her blonde ponytail — his blond ponytail — was between her hands). "This is really happening. Not a perception filter."
"Nope," Robin said, placid and oddly accepting of the fact he now had modestly perky and seventeen-year-old breasts, and tossed his new ponytail behind his shoulder.
"Not a dream," Artemis pressed further for evidence that she really wasn't just knocked out somewhere and then cried out, jerking away as the back of her hand was pinched with little delicacy.
He sounded delighted at her outrage. Little sadist.
"I'm really in your body." A horrible, sinking realization immersed itself somewhere below her ribcage. "Really REALLY…"
"Yep, and did you have to use the double adverb?"
Artemis squinted at him through Robin's darkly lenses glasses sitting on the bridge of her nose. Sadist and know-it-all.
"So that machine we got strapped to while we were in the rainforest…?"
"Body-switcher," Robin informed her, looking down and starting to poke at her black utility belt around his bare, tanned waist. "For a lack of a better term." He then mused, "A mind-switcher…?"
"Same thing, I think. And, wait, no one knows about this?"
"Just us. Oh, and Batman." Dark gray eyes narrowed in guarded interest as Robin fished out what looked like her 'special' darts from one of the belt's compartments. "He'll put it in the report."
Artemis resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "And how long are we like this?" She dreaded to know the answer.
"At the most… seventy two hours. The least should be twenty four."
He returned the tranquilizers to their arrangement in the compartment before sealing it and she said sarcastically into one of her hands, "I'm glad you're so knowledgeable about body switching."
The creepy 'Ohoho-you-don't-even-know-the-things-I've-seen' Robin smile looked wrong as it formed on her face.
"Cases aren't as unique as you think. In fact, they can be rather –ique."
As Robin got onto his feet, seemingly undecided on which way to lean before he straightened his spine and continued walking for the hospital wing entrance, Artemis asked doubtfully and pushed away her own hospital bed sheets, "What are you doing? I thought the scary lecture we got from Batman meant we were stuck to this place until it fades off."
"…You seriously want to be cooped up in here?"
Fair point but…
Within two minutes, Robin found the secret wall panel and disabled the lock-down mode with a sequence of (in her opinion anyway) arbitrary numbers typed into a hidden code-pad. The hospital wing doors slid open until they vanished. He said to himself, cackling, "-He didn't even try-!" and snatched up Artemis's bow and quiver of arrows braced to the nearby wall.
Instead of getting angry at him for touching her gadgets, Artemis smirked, folding her arms over her now flat and fifteen-year-old boy chest superiorly. "You even know how to use it?"
Robin turned in place, moving automatically into shooting stance as he nocked one of her regular combat arrows and raised her bow. The aim centered for a purple and green crayon drawing of the Joker over a hospital cot where Wally had been bedridden for an hour last week (and went on a coloring spree worthy of an impatient three-year-old bedridden for five hours instead of one—seeing as all four walls of the hospital wing ended up getting cased with various supervillains after he finished up others of the Justice League and then Flash's rogues). Artemis took a moment to silently regard the long arrow jutting from the poorly drawn clown-psycho a foot or so from her own cot before stating, "You missed the heart by five millimeters."
"I know."
Artemis's skin crawled a little at the fierce grin and the quiet, almost raspy declaration.
She stood up immediately when Robin stepped out adjusting the green cowl over his face, and stumbled back when her senses became woozy. New body. Right. Still working out the steering.
"I've got a reputation to keep!" Artemis called, scowling, into the hallway and he waved to her from the stairwell.
"Gotcha, Arty~" Robin called back, cheerfully, and damn it sounded weird in her voice. "If I got any questions about your behavioral traits, I promise… I'll go right to Red Arrow."
She ground her teeth together, clenching her fists, and counted to ten in her head. (Eight…seven…)
"You know I hate you, right!"
"I know you don't!" came his distant, gleeful response from inside the stairwell. (Four…three…)
Robin wanted to run around in her body and play games… Well, her father was Sportsmaster…
And there was something she always wanted to try — if, you know, by coincidence she could magically sprout guy-parts or had been born a guy…
… …Now to scout out the potential candidates to aid her.
On her way to the lower floor of the cave, Artemis ticked off the list mentally.
Definitely no. Even with her ability to grow the necessary appendages… it wouldn't be exactly what the archer wanted.
Mmm~… extremely hot… but Artemis was betting that his interest in first-hand sex education was about as likely as Black Canary sucking at hand-to-hand combat.
He was mature and good-looking and intelligent, but preferably she would have liked to seduce him as herself and not the flexy twerp of their team.
Right outside the kitchen, Wally sat behind the lacquered, semi-circular tabletop of the dining table, resting his palm over his freckled cheek as he stared hard into the open textbook. His first two fingers idly swirled into a clear glass of water to his right. Artemis stopped in the doorway. "Hey…" she paused a second, searching for lingo Robin would use, "…KF."
"Hey, Robs." His green eyes flicked up towards her approaching before returning back to the textbook. Wally added, seeming to give 'his best friend' full attention despite looking away, "So what were you and Miss Congeniality shut in the wing for? Jungle fever?" Artemis squashed the fleeting thought of yanking up the collar of his red shirt and thrusting it over his head to suffocate him.
"Batman thought we were exposed to something in Dr. Samuel Register's area of the facility." Play it natural. Artemis relaxed her expression, slipping into her role. "You worried about me?"
Wally made an incredulous noise with closed lips.
"Yeah right, dude." He glanced over at his glass of water, taking a red grape from the table and dropping it in with a muted splash. Artemis tilted Robin's head in a mocking smiling interest as Wally created a miniature vortex with water and air, swirling his fingers and floating the grape in the center of the vortex.
"Ah, huh," she replied. "What if it had been really terrible like malaria?"
"You would have survived." Despite her smiling, Wally did not echo the sentiment.
"Why do you say that?"
Green eyes focused right on Robin's sunglasses. Warming with confidence. "Because you don't give up, dude."
Artemis bit back some triumphant laughter itching to be released. "It's true. I don't." She made it obvious she was checking him out over the rims of the glasses and how she positioned herself a little over the tabletop. (Niiiice body, by the way. Kid Flesh was annoying as hell but this could be fun.) "Especially when it's something I've been wanting for a while… Get what I mean?"
Wally's cheeks started to redden. Oh my god. He had such a hard-on for Robin it wasn't even funny and it almost kinda took away the fun of giving him shit about this. But still… this was hilarious.
"Ha ha, very funny, man."
Artemis flipped his textbook shut, pressing, spreading Robin's hand over the back cover lingeringly.
"I'm sorry… did you think I was kidding, Wals?" She raised a deliberate eyebrow.
The nickname (or maybe it was the full-blown awareness of the impending situation) triggered further blushing and Wally's chair screeched across the floor as he stood up.
"Um…" Wally dragged his palms against his blue jeans. Sweaty palms. Getting nervous. "…"
She didn't try to cut him off around the other side of the table. "It's okay." Artemis let Robin's voice soften somewhat, "I…know."
Wally's hands stopped frantically blurring at the dragging, resting on his thighs. A grimace.
"And you're not…?"
"Let's just get some things out into the open." Artemis took her chance to move in front of him. Reassure him. A comforting grin. "You drive me crazy, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Second…" A small, playful tug on the exposed hem of his yellow undershirt to his red tee shirt. "I've got a raging boner, and getting painful now that I'm thinking about it," she explained carefully, hooking Robin's fingers to the belt loop of Wally's jeans (gay porn collection was definitely coming in handy tonight), "and I'm betting you'll look good when I get you out of those clothes."
An inarticulate, feeble groan rose from Wally's throat.
Around six in the morning, her arms and the rest of her body sore as hell—with god knows what Robin had been doing with it—, Artemis woke up in complete uniform and flung over a sofa in the gaming room. Her guess was Robin came around the same discovery: Each room had its own retina scan. Unhackable — though she wouldn't doubt him to leap that technological obstacle soon.
Artemis shoved a hand through her undone, mess of hair and whined when she pulled out two or three twigs…and…was that…Christmas garland twisted in her hair? What the hell?
The door from the corridor slid open.
Robin — still dressed in a slim-fitting, navy tank top and boxers she left him before crashing — stormed inside the room.
"Why does my back hurt? What did you do, fall off a building-!-?"
"Well, you managed to chip off several of my nails." Artemis gave him an ugly glare before staring back down at the damage and muttering, "Thanks."
"At least it doesn't feel like you got your body tossed around like Bane's punching bag," he retorted, rubbing at his face. Robin stopped before his hand could lower. "…Why do my fingers smell like strawberry kiwi and…" The archer smirked when he cautiously sniffed it and then made a face (—screw it, she wasn't sorry, the flavored lubricant had been a fantastic idea at the time).
Robin's eyebrows scrunched into a single, furrowing line.
"…do I even want to know?"
A solid rapping of knuckles on the wall behind him.
"There you two are," Wally intervened, combing away his sleep-mussed hair from his temples with a knowing look. "Should I come back later or are you done arguing about last night?"
With a similar perceptive look, Robin asked him, "When did you figure it out…?"
"It took me a little bit." Wally joined them on the ground floor away from the leveled staircase-entrance. His exposed and freckle-dotted shoulders shrugged upwards. "But I've known you for how many years?" He said, untangling his fingers from his hair and giving Robin a put-out glance as if it was all his doing, "Plus you weren't cuddling. You always cuddle."
Robin patted the back of Wally's hand with quasi-concern, and snickered up at Artemis.
"Smooth, Arty."
She waved a hand inattentively. "I still got away with it." Artemis gyrated her hips as she climbed up the railed staircase, pinning her eyes on Wally challengingly. "Admit it, I rocked your world."
Wally nodded after a moment, his eyes never leaving the other boy. "She kinda did." He grasped the back of Robin's neck faintly, muttering, "But I like you, dude," and tilting his head sideways to plant his lips firmly over Robin's forming a little, crooked o. Robin's arms lifted, Artemis thought possibly to push him away, but instead wound to Wally's bare waist, snuggling him closer.
Oh, okay. Lovebirds were busy.
That was cool.
Artemis coughed, amused, and turned for the corridor. Gay sex had been alright — not the greatest thing since sliced bread in any case, maybe with more practice — pfft, whatever, she had missed her girl-parts too. Wondering if she was truly thwarted by everything, she passed Kaldur in the hanger who smiled pleasantly in her direction. Her dark gray eyes scanned him with solemn, piqued interest when their shoulders brushed each other. Nope. Artemis had a feeling that she wasn't going to miss gay sex at all.
YJ isn't mine. This story has more feel of a cracked out future-verse AU than something all together canon but it was still fun to make. I feel awful cause I should have finished this prompt AAAAAGES ago. BUTBUTBUT I got done in time for someone's birthday and giving the dedication to my darling, brain-sharing, LOVABLY AMAZING itwallie in hopes she enjoys it and giggles like a fiend. C:
Justice_Kink meme prompt:
"/I've always wanted to have gay sex!/"
Somehow Robin and Artemis switch bodies (idk, Klarion?)
Robin is like, "OMG I'm tall now! brb, gonna go play around "
And Artemis, being the perv we all know she is- her first reaction is, "holy crap, I have always wanted to have gay sex."
Artemis knows that KF has a thing for Robin and she takes advantage of that because even though she and Kid don't exactly get along, she'll admit that he still has a nice body. Whether KF is aware they switched bodies is up to you.
Bonus if when they get their bodies back Robin is all, "JEEZ WHY DOES MY BACK HURT WHAT DID YOU FALL OFF A BUILDING?"

I am currently finishing up a PC game, and everything is working perfectly on Windows 7 and Vista computers. However, when I test the game on my Windows XP machine the sound does not play at all. I've run the game compiled on my Win7 machine, as well as compiling the code on my XP machine. I've stepped through everything in the debugger on XP, and I'm not getting any errors. Everything matches what I am seeing on my Win7 machine. The XP machine is using Realtek HD Audio driver version 22.214.171.12473, DirectX 9.0, and the audio codec listed in the Realtek driver is ALC3220. The fmod example projects play sounds fine on my XP machine, so I'm not sure whats going on.
I thought it may have just been a driver problem on my computer, but I've also had one other user on XP report no sound playing as well.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated!

If I call "system->setOutput(FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WAVWRITER)" and listen to the recorded wav file afterwards, everything sounds like it should. But none of the other Win32 options (FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_DSOUND, FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WINMM, FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WASAPI, FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_ASIO) produce any sound at all.

Maybe so...but he is WAY ahead of anyone else in the State
Agreed. He has almost no competition in this whole state.
Leingang has no competition in class A, but in the Kiwanis meet Ken Wells of Parshall was very close to Jake only twenty seconds behind him
and Sether and Kashur both beet Wells at Becki Wells, and are both obviously class A
So are these predictions that Leingang will be beat? Sorry buddy but 20 seconds is a lot to make up on somebody in one month, especially when you're talking times under 16.
To say that no one can compete with Leingang is a very bold statement if you ask me. And if you ask me again, a lot of things can happen in a month.. Such as ( injuries, sickness, bad grades) It's easy to talk up the number runner, stop trying to make every other runner in North Dakota looking at this like there is no hope to beat this kid.

Arsenal look set to compete the loan signing of Chilean star, Eduardo Vargas from Napoli according to reports in Italy.
It is said that the two clubs are in advanced stages of the negotiations and a loan deal looks likely. With Alexis Sanchez also making the switch to the Emirates, it has encouraged Vargas to join his fellow countryman in the Premier League. The two linked up well during the 2014 Brazil World Cup and Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger is said to be an admirer of both players link play.
The 24-year-old Chilean was loaned out to Valencia last term and scored 6 time in 17 matches for the Spanish outfit. Blessed with pace and balance on the ball, Wenger sees Vargas as the ideal nippy striker who can work off the target man of either Sanogo or Giroud.
The reports from Italy suggest that any deal could be completed this week.
Will Arsenal be worthy of a title challenge this season?

Intelligent Design Uncensored
By William? A. Dembski and Jonathan Witt
Why "uncensored"? Well, according to Dembski and Witt, neither the media nor the scientific establishment has accurately described the theory of intelligent design. Their book aims to change all that, and if given a fair read by enough people, it undoubtedly will. Most compelling is the authors' demonstration of how science is rarely as cold and objective as it's made out to be.
By Hephzibah Anderson
Anderson's is not a great defense of sexual propriety. Her decision to remain celibate for a year had nothing to do with a sudden devotion to morality, which may be why her resolve eventually weakened. This book recounts her attempt to win a husband by forswearing sex, but what it proves is that chastity simply cannot be sustained outside of a rigorous moral framework.
How to Be a Hepburn in a Hilton World
By Jordan Christy
If The Real Housewives of New Jersey is the problem, then this book is the antidote. With humor and style, Christy guides women out of the world of thong bikinis and lewd behavior, insisting that a little class is just what our society needs right now. Her book is an etiquette manual of sorts, explaining both how to behave and dress appropriately and why doing so matters.
Losing Our Religion
By S. E. Cupp
Cupp, the conservative political pundit who regularly appears on Larry King Live, is also an atheist, but that doesn't stop her from believing that the media is biased against Christian America. Here she expertly defends Judeo-Christian values and tries to explain why some liberals detest them. She also does a fine job of galvanizing support for her pro-Christian cause.
Our Culture, What's Left of It
By Theodore Dalrymple
However much you disdain American culture, the situation in Great Britain is much worse—at least according to Dalrymple. His thesis is a simple one: Socialist theories and welfare policies have destroyed English character, encouraging a lack of productivity and enslavement to popular culture. His book will make you think twice about idolizing European progressivism.
Do Fish Feel Pain?
By Victoria Braithwaite
Yes, we can all agree that it is painful for fish to suffocate on the decks of fishing boats, but should the fact that fish are smarter than we previously thought transform this unfortunate circumstance into a tragedy? Braithwaite's silly book answers this question in the affirmative and then tries to persuade readers that fish deserve the same rights as people.
Against All Gods
By Phillip ?E. Johnson and John Mark Reynolds
There have been many critiques of the New Atheists published in recent years, but few have had the intellectual heft of this book. While Johnson effectively deconstructs atheistic arguments against the existence of God, Reynolds ably defends religion from all manner of false charges. The result is truly a tour de force—one of the best books on atheism ever written.
By Gail Dines
Dines's book does more than just describe our national porn addiction; it likewise details the ways in which the use of pornography can seep into other aspects of our lives, causing irreparable harm to our relationships, our communities, and ourselves. A bit light on documentation, the book is nevertheless a welcome addition to the growing library of anti-porn material.
Lord, Save Us from Your Followers
Dan Merchant is a culture-war denier, and the intent of his film is to convince you that issues such as abortion, homosexuality, and euthanasia are mere distractions from the central message of Christianity. You guessed it: Merchant believes that all we need is a little love. His film features interviews with Christian "celebrities" who for the most part share his viewpoint.
Lines That Divide
Director Brian Godawa has put together a marvelous little film for the Center for Bioethics and Culture on the stem-cell debate. Well-reasoned and balanced, it is at its best when documenting the many impressive breakthroughs in adult stem-cell therapy, advances that are rarely covered by the media but that represent our best chance of finding cures for a wide variety of diseases.
Waiting for Armageddon
Regardless of how you feel about the Evangelical apocalyptic worldview, you will find this a manipulative and agenda-driven documentary. Not only does it portray Christians who adhere to this teaching as misguided dupes, but it also depicts their love for Israel as a threat to American security—as a potentially explosive alliance that could end in an international holy war.
The Case for Faith
Based on Christian apologist Lee Strobel's book of the same title, this movie examines the two doubts that most often cause people to lose their faith: Jesus cannot possibly be the only path to God; and there can't be a good God when the world is so full of suffering. Theologians such as N.?T. Wright and J.?P. Moreland deftly answer these charges with penetrating wisdom.
Born Rich
Director Jamie Johnson is the heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, and here he interviews fellow beneficiaries of inherited wealth, such as Invanka Trump and Josiah Hornblower, about what it's like to grow up with so much money. Believe it or not, the conversations are fascinating and reveal much about our materialistic society, including the manner in which wealth corrupts.
Examined Life
About the best thing one can say about this movie is that it does make a strong case for the life of the mind. Unfortunately, Astra Taylor chooses some of the loopiest academics around to debate the merits of philosophy with, including Peter Singer and Judith Butler. While passionate, these particular thinkers mar with their illogic what could have been an invigorating film.
The Butch Factor
Documentaries don't get any more boring than this. Comprised solely of talking-head interviews, this film examines what homosexuals have to endure when their deportment is either extremely masculine or totally feminine. Whether the speaker is a prison guard, a drag queen, or a football player, the tale is always the same. We get it already; it's super-tough being gay. Yawn.
Hell House
Hell Houses were conceived in 1990 at a church just outside of Dallas. Their purpose is to provide haunted-house-style thrills while at the same time scaring unbelievers into conversion. It's a bizarre phenomenon, to be sure, but this excellent film, which chronicles the preparation of one such Hell House, is spot on in its assessment of misguided evangelistic techniques.

Wingdings is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.Copyright
2006 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.Description
The Wingdings fonts were designed by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow in 1990 and 1991. The fonts were originally named Lucida Icons, Arrows, and Stars to complement the Lucida text font family by the same designers. Renamed, reorganized, and released in 1992 as Microsoft Wingdings, the three fonts provide a harmoniously designed set of icons representing the common components of personal computer systems and the elements of graphical user interfaces. There are icons for PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, trackball, hard drive, diskette, tape cassette, printer, fax, etc., as well as icons for file folders, documents, mail, mailboxes, windows, clipboard, and wastebasket. In addition, Wingdings includes icons with both traditional and computer significance, such as writing tools and hands, reading glasses, clipping scissors, bell, bomb, check boxes, as well as more traditional images such as weather signs, religious symbols, astrological signs, encircled numerals, a selection of ampersands and interrobangs, plus elegant flowers and flourishes. Pointing and indicating are frequent functions in graphical interfaces, so in addition to a wide selection of pointing hands, the Wingdings fonts also offer arrows in careful gradations of weight and different directions and styles. For variety and impact as bullets, asterisks, and ornaments, Windings also offers a varied set of geometric circles, squares, polygons, targets, and stars.License

Meet the Press this morning, Senator Lindsey Graham attacked President Obama's foreign policy for being thoughtful and deliberative. Seriously. When asked about the situation in the Ukraine, Graham's exact words were: "President Obama is trying to be deliberative. It comes off as indecisive. He's trying to be thoughtful. It comes off as weakness." Such are the perils of a thoughtful and deliberative foreign policy, in contrast, say, to the thoughtless and reckless policies that most people believe characterized the previous administration. At least Senator Graham is smart enough to recognize what President Obama is attempting to achieve. And also smart enough to recognize the opportunity to score cheap political points by equating thoughtfulness with weakness.
When asked what specifically the Obama administration should be doing differently with respect to Russia and the Ukraine, Graham's answers became more revealing. First, he criticized President Obama for not calling Putin "the thug that he is." So instead of calling for a thorough investigation that will reveal exactly what Putin is, more name-calling is the suggested solution, as if we were back in high school. Second, Senator Graham criticized the president for failing to send more arms to the Ukraine to defend themselves against the Russian-supplied separatists. In other words Graham is nostalgic for the days of proxy wars with Russia that we engaged in, for example, by arming Afghanistan in the 1980's. Anybody remember how that effort came back to bite us later? Finally, he suggested additional sanctions against Russia and Putin, which is something the Obama administration is already doing.
The opposition doesn't have a credible alternative foreign policy to suggest. If they are attacking the president for being thoughtful and deliberative, that must mean that their suggested alternative ideas would be thoughtless and immature. But what these kinds of criticisms expose is the vulnerability of any administration that seriously attempts to pursue peaceful solutions as a strategy. That strategy can always be attacked as weak and wishy-washy, in contrast to the glib answers and tough talk these critics are espousing. Never mind that more militaristic approaches previously led us into Vietnam. And Iraq. And into a Cold War that lasted 40 years and verged on nuclear Armegeddon more than once. Or that by contrast President Obama's more "thoughtful and deliberative" approach has kept us out of war, and led to notable successes in reducing dangerous weapons, removing dictators, and managing conflicts around the world.
If you want a contrast to the careful policies of the Obama administration, all you have to do is look at the childish and dangerous approach to conflict being taken by Putin himself. Surely Lindsey Graham doesn't want the United States to start acting just like the thug with whom we are trying to draw a contrast?

Southwold cliff Ladies Walk footpath work to begin
Work to restore a century-old footpath on an eroding cliff in Southwold is about to get under way after three years of closure.
Ladies Walk, on the seafront between the lighthouse and pier, was shut by Waveney District Council in 2010 on safety grounds.
Engineers estimated it would cost over £150,000 to rebuild the footpath.
The work is being funded by the sale of new beach huts, in a town where some have fetched over £100,000.
The footpath was originally built in the 1900s but it was undermined by burrowing animals and ongoing erosion.
Edwardian engineering
Norwich-based engineers Canham Consulting said work would begin this month shoring up the cliff and building a new concrete footpath with a retaining wall.
They will restore the original railings, which were made in Ipswich.
Brian Wilkins, principle engineer, said: "The original Edwardian engineering had fallen victim to soil creep and cliff collapses caused by rain action and rabbits."
The work is expected to be finished in November.
Waveney District Council said it had built seven new beach huts north of the pier and at Gun Hill, which have raised £443,866 in sales and will provide ongoing revenue from leases.
Five more are planned and the council said the revenue which was not spent on the cliff would be reinvested in other council services.
