Holy Bestseller, Holy Sequel

Holy Bestseller, Holy Sequel 05/20/2004 11:37 AM
The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown says he considered including another theory in the book that would have inflamed Christians even more than the notion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and made babies. What if Jesus survived the crucifixion? According to this AP Article, "Brown said the theory is backed by a number of 'very credible sources,' but that he ultimately decided it was too flimsy." I'm burned out on the whole Holy Blood, Holy Grail trip though. Brown's next book, set in Washington, revolves around the Masons! Apparently, the dust jacket of The Da Vinci Code contains a clue about the sequel. Link

Holy Vandals, Holy Grail

Holy Vandals, Holy Grail 05/21/2004 11:17 AM
An historic monument in central England that may hold the key to the location of the Holy Grail was damaged by vandals on Tuesday. The BBC reports that "a gang of youths climbed on top of The Shepherd's Monument at Shugborough Hall" and started smashing away.

"The Shepherd's Monument is of international importance, both as a work of art and because of the legend that a baffling inscription on the monument provides clues to the true location of the Holy Grail," said the home's general manager Richard Kemp.

Interestingly, the vandalism came on the heels of a visit by former code-breakers from War II intent on cracking the 10-letter puzzle. The Shepherd's Monument is discussed in depth in the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, inspiration for The Da Vinci Code. Link to a National Public Radio piece about the code-breakers. Li nk to the BBC story on the vandalism. (Thanks, Kev!)

US Federal Budget sim created at Berkeley.

This simulation asks you to adjust spending and tax expenditures in the the 2004 budget proposed by the White House in order to achieve either a balanced budget or any other target deficit...According to the White House, the 2004 fiscal deficit is projected to be $307 billion. This does not include the costs of the Iraq War, so it has been increased by a base estimate of $50 billion for those costs in this simulation (which can be increased, lowered or eliminated depending on peoples views of the costs or likelihood of the war.).

EMIEW: Two-wheeled Balancing Robot

EMIEW: Two-wheeled Balancing Robot 03/19/2005 02:54 AM
Everybody is talking about Hitachi's new robot, EMIEW. It's a two-wheeled balancer on the bottom and a vaguely humanoid robot on the top. EMIEW is 1.3 m tall, weighs 70 kg and can scoot along at 6 km/hr while avoiding objects with vision sensors and radar. The robot was created by the Hitachi Mechanical Engineering Research Lab which has produced a number of interesting robots over the past 40 years. And, in case you were wondering, EMIEW is an acronym for Excellent Mobility and Interactive Existence as Workmate. For more on EMIEW see the Pittsburgh Post-gazette, BBC News, Taiwan News, and Slashdot.

CANADA'S
DEMOCRATIC BALANCING ACT

CANADA'S
DEMOCRATIC BALANCING ACT 05/19/2004 10:15 AM

Recently I lamented the US Supreme Court's legitimization of the heinous process of gerrymandering -- the rigging of the boundary-setting of political constituencies in each state by the party in power so that even unpopular incumbents are guaranteed re-election and so that most voters are effectively disenfranchised -- and I suggested any country whose judiciary could find such a travesty was constitutional was effectively no longer a democracy. Democracy Watch is a 10-year-old non-partisan, non-profit Canadian organization whose mission is "to empower Canadians in their roles as voters, citizens, taxpayers, consumers and shareholders, and help reform Canadian government and business institutions to bring them into line with the realities of a modern, working democracy." Its Directors have worked closely with Ralph Nader. It played a significant role in the introduction and passage in Canada (this January) of one of the most progressive campaign finance reform laws in the world, effectively ending the ability of corporations, unions and special interest groups to fund and hence 'buy' political parties, campaigns or candidates. Not content to rest on its laurels, Democracy Watch is now working on a 20-step Program For a Modern Working Democracy: Proportionate representation and similar reforms to ensure government is fully representative of voter interests. An accountability process to track performance against election promises, responsibility for government action, and protection for whistle-blowers. Complete prohibition of financial and other involvement by corporations, unions and special interest groups in the electoral process at all levels, and creation of a 'level playing field' to prevent rich and powerful individuals from unduly influencing political decisions. Meaningful mechanisms for citizen participation in government policy development and decision-making. Restrictions on and full disclosure of the activities of lobbyists. Development of an active, practical civics curriculum for all citizens. Increased scrutiny and prevention of corporate waste, fraud, abuse and misrepresentation. Increased accountability of the judiciary to the public. Removal of protection under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for corporations. Citizen-controlled, full-access scrutiny of government efficiency, spending and purchasing decisions. Strengthening of ethical codes and enforcement for government officials and the public service. Citizen oversight for the management and use of public assets. Recognition of the inalienable public ownership of the airwaves. Strengthening of citizens' ability to obtain timely, accurate access all information on government activities. Public funding and organizational support for consumer watchdog and advocacy organizations. Recognizing employee ownership and increasing employee control of pension funds and assets. Increasing the participation of all shareholders in corporate decision-making. Increasing the rights of non-shareholder stakeholders (employees, community etc.) in corporations, and extending participatory mechanisms available to, and accountability to, these stakeholders. Setting minimum standards for corporations to invest in the communities in which they do business. Encouraging the creation of local currency systems (LETS) to support community economic development and community service. Today, I am proud to report that the Canadian Supreme Court rejected a constitutional challenge to Canada's election law, and specifically a clause which severely limits political advertising by special interest groups during election campaigns. The challenge was brought by the arch-right-wing National Citizens Coalition, an organization that espouses reducing government authority, business deregulation, reducing taxes, 'family values' and other conservative agenda programs, some of them quite extreme. The NCC was planning on a huge conservative-issues promotion during the upcoming Canadian federal election campaign. The NCC used to be led by -- surprise! -- federal Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper. Had the constitutional challenge been successful, it would have made a mockery of the new campaign finance reform laws. And the case was problematic: It's difficult to say with great clarity what constitutes 'political advertising' when it doesn't come from a political party or candidate, and hard to argue why ads that are acceptable at other times unduly influence public opinion during elections. And the very principle of banning advertising that isn't fraudulent is troubling. But the Court struck a delicate balance, and their argument in support of their decision is compelling, pragmatic, and, well, utterly Canadian. I'm not bragging, though. Canada still lags behind most European countries in the introduction of proportional representation, and majority governments in Canada have a frightening amount of power (though so far, except for the Mulroney d ebacle, they have had the sense not to abuse it). The Liberals have been in power so long that they got lazy and complacent and allowed some civil servants to rob them (and Canadian taxpayers) blind. And as I've reported, an unholy alliance of animal testing labs, corporate farmers and hunting organizations have been able to strong-arm Canada's unelected Senate three times to scuttle a modest, government-supported strengthening of Canada's 100-year-old, shamefully inadequate animal protection laws. But compared to the situation in some countries I need not mention, we don't look too bad. Postscript: Today the Canadian government also approved the over-the-counter sale of the 'Morning After Pill' without a prescription. In George Bush's repressive America, of course, this is illegal. But it is legal in America to buy semi-automatic weapons, and you don't need a prescription for them. Is it just me, or that seriously twisted?
