Why did digital technology so scandalously betray the expectations set by market liberalism?
What accounts for the vast divergence between the starring role digital tech was meant to play in the global consummation of market liberalism and the disruptive, discrediting, disillusioning role it actually is playing?
Why did liberal experts and liberal economics get it so wrong, and what is happening now instead?
Compelling answers to these questions come from an unexpected source: Marshall McLuhan, the famous theorist of media and communications (and, importantly, causation). With unique insight and force, McLuhan gives lost and troubled Westerners new access to deep resources that explain the source, the scope, and the severity of the digital revolution against market liberalism.
Nearly two hundred years of global dominance mistrained us to think of market liberalism as the comprehensive context within which we develop and live, and to see the economics of market liberalism as the scientific description of our natural reality. In fact, McLuhan shows, the decisive contextual influence over the content of human life is not the market but "the medium" or media—the communicative technologies that form us through the social and psychological environments they create. These forms are so pervasive and encompassing, constantly "massaging" us (as McLuhan liked to say), that they even drive us to tear down system-wide economic structures and erect new ones in their place.
At the elite level of socioeconomic expertise, we made the fundamental error of believing market liberalism was our defining context, with liberal economics the true science of social order. Because of this mistaken faith, our established elites created the misbegotten expectations that set them up for today's spectacular fall. They failed to see that market liberalism and market economics, instead of being the context within which we live, are in fact the "content" created by another context: that of predigital, or "electric," communications technology.
In following McLuhan to this understanding, we can work through the current crisis of market liberalism in three broad steps. First is a fresh assessment of how market liberalism came to be seen as our social context, and how market economics came to be seen as the science of social order. From there, we are led to focus on how the market acted as a template or forerunner of the science of emergence, considered by some of the most influential elites of the electric age to be the master science or "grand unified theory" of all order. Next, we consider how digital communications technology turned against its elite "masters," revealing their putative science of order to be an anti-science of chaos—and disrupting and disenchanting their model of social order. The scientific revolution formed by the digital medium has, as we shall see, sapped market liberalism of much of its authority and legitimacy, throwing it back upon practices that contradict its principles and opening up new social space for an "unthinkable" retrieval of "obsolete" forms of politics.
The Market: From Morality to Mastery
Whether for a moment or sometime longer, it now appears that "free market economics" has lost its privileged hold on the public imagination. The list of setbacks is long and growing: from the return of trade war, to the menu of foreign policy, to the rekindled interest in using the power of government to tilt domestic economic activity in favor of stable and broad-based family formation. Both in the executive branch under Trump and in the legislative branch, Republican economic orthodoxy is on defense. Friends and foes alike now wonder whether the GOP establishment has the power to prevent a rout of its established doctrines at the federal level. In Europe, populists, nationalists, reactionaries, and a grab bag of disaffected conservatives and socialists are all pushing for state action against the consequences of liberal economic policies—policies that, till recently, were almost universally understood as the foundation of peace and prosperity in the West and around the world.
Even in the right-leaning media the tides are shifting dramatically. Fox News host Tucker Carlson, now the biggest name on cable television, touched off an avalanche of attention by delivering a desk monologue that would set new rules for the Right on the most basic questions of the relationship between politics, culture, and economics. The purpose of the federal government, Carlson argued, is to work for the well-being of its citizens, not against it, and not even with indifference toward it. Americans accustomed to the rhetoric of the pursuit of happiness are now witnessing a lurch toward the equally venerable language of promoting the general welfare. It is a time of flux and uncertainty, one in which attempts to stake out new ground must be pursued despite the risks of doing so.
In that sense, the swing of the pendulum against both knee-jerk and wonk-led economic liberalism should be considered temperately. If you are in favor of such a swing, you should not be giddy with delight. If you are against it, you should not be seized with panic. But the fact that we are here at all—and that our arrival at this political juncture comes with a degree of force that suggests it truly has been a long time in coming—ought to provoke a careful reassessment of what terrain we thought we were on, and what new ground awaits.
That kind of reassessment begins with the framing of the new economic debate itself. Many free market liberals now explicitly or implicitly recognize that the global Western economic regime led by the United States is not in many important respects discernably "free" or "liberal." This is especially the case with regard to the relationship between big government and big business—a situation made starker, but in some ways more complex, by the ascendance of large "tech" companies to positions of Western and global power and prominence once wielded only by the biggest of private financial institutions. Principled and pragmatic liberals are feeling the pinch from the progressively illiberalizing ethos of the elite at the nexus of big government, big business, and big tech. Long-standing consensus liberal commitments to civic rights around privacy and freedom of expression and association have been largely replaced by a new ideology of compliance, monitoring, data harvesting, and enforced adherence to a single set of (evolving) cultural norms.
Still, these developments themselves generally work to reinforce in the minds of free market liberals the framing they were most apt to apply to their present ordeal in the first place. That is, they want to treat today's broad reassessment of their worldview and its policy agenda as the result of political forces external to the science of economics invading from well outside its gates. Populists, nationalists, and the rest are a problem—are"the" problem—because they are attempting to handle economic matters in a way that no discipline or approach or body of knowledge but the economic can properly handle. Naturally, they say, the result of this misapprehension and its foolish pride will be misbegotten labors ending at best in tears, and at worst in chaos, poverty, disease, war, famine. I suspect that despite the pressure they are under, many free market liberals still believe economics is not just a science but the master science, and that the master science of economics simply is the logic and mechanics of liberalized and liberalizing markets. If that's the case, their judgments about the invasion of the political into the economic have a certain finality to them. But if not, things become considerably more complicated.
In the pure version of economic absolutism, nothing goes "wrong" within economics that cannot be diagnosed and treated within economics by economics itself. Much of what liberal economists do in everyday public discourse—the world of pundits and policymakers, think tanks and activist groups, lawyers, NGOs, the news media, etc.—involves making arguments backed with evidence that the main point of good governance is to prevent itself from mistaking economic matters for political (or, worse, "social") ones, and therefore to withhold itself (or be withheld) from intervening in the affairs of market participants. Every improper policy from drug wars to trade wars, from eminent domain to excessive taxation, is treated as an improper trespass of one kind of activity onto another.
But not all economists can be policymakers. Market liberalism's attraction for so many of our elites stems from its creation of a class of high-status, highly paid knowledge workers—"public" economists whose purpose is to forever restate the case that economic science is better at delivering the goods for human beings than politics. Politics, they say, constantly fails to recognize its due measure and trespasses harmfully onto properly economic terrain. Although in theory this exercise could lead to peaceful coexistence in the realm of policy, market liberalism retains at its core the assumption that nothing within the science of economics properly understood ever changes, without, so to speak, the permission of economics. Whatever the ups and downs of economic life, market liberals insist, the applicability of economic logic does not change. The economic building blocks upon which the logic works and to which the laws apply do not simply morph—not on their own, not from outside influence, and not from unseen or mysterious forces. Economics, in short, describes our human context, within which policymaking is at best mere content.
The Soft Totalitarianism of Spontaneous Order
There is, however, a not-so-pure form of economic absolutism, and its mixed socioeconomic character has actually come to dominate and define the worldview of the free market liberals. Even highly economistic thinkers like George Mason University professor Bryan Caplan insist that psychological and sociological phenomena must be surveyed, studied, and processed by good economists. Today, liberal free marketeers broadly agree that economics should be conceived of as a type of social science, one for which materialistic individualism is now the wrong approach to understanding human life. The roots of this goal trace all the way back to Adam Smith, whose Theory of Moral Sentiments holds that humans are inherently social beings from whom moral rules gradually and naturally emerge. Even more decisive to the social character of economic science is Friedrich Hayek. "To understand our civilization," Hayek emphasized, following Smith, "one must appreciate that the extended order resulted not from human design or intention but spontaneously: it arose from unintentionally conforming to certain traditional and largely moral practices." Our social nature requires us to conclude that reason itself can never perfect social science or social order:
The conflict between, on one hand, advocates of the spontaneous extended human order created by a competitive market, and on the other hand those who demand a deliberate arrangement of human interaction by central authority based on collective command over available resources is due to a factual error by the latter about how knowledge is and can be generated and utilised. As a question of fact, this conflict must be settled by scientific study. Such study shows that, by following the spontaneously generated moral traditions underlying the competitive market order (traditions which do not satisfy the canons or norms of rationality embraced by most socialists), we generate and garner greater knowledge and wealth than could ever be obtained or utilised in a centrally-directed economy whose adherents claim to proceed strictly in accordance with "reason."1
While we humans do things individually, and thus what we do individually appears autonomous, it is human society as such that holds priority of analytical rank. Precisely because, in this view, it is a self-organizing system, human society offers the economic scientist the only true point of access to a full human science. Despite the individualistic cast of free market liberalism, its foundations (as so-called Rawlseckian fusionists of classical and contemporary liberal theory are quick to affirm) are in the social—the unit of analysis from which flows all the information needed for human science.
Proponents of socioeconomic liberalism often present epistemological modesty as one of its greatest virtues—a salutary humility born of a sense of limits. Markets and the unique kind of ordered liberty that flows from them, they say, cannot be willed or engineered into being; their resources and resilience belong more to human nature than to the philosophical achievement, intellectual heroism, or ideological dedication of economic liberalism in the marketplace of ideas. This modest attitude contrasts with that of free marketeers such as Jonah Goldberg, for whom (as he put it in one of his newsletters this spring) "the world of liberal democratic capitalism" is an "unnatural" claim staked against our primal "instinct for solidarity"—a secular "miracle" owed to a few daring souls. Amid today's spreading disenchantment with the neoliberal social compact, free marketeers of this variety see the preservation of Western civilization as contingent upon their pride, not their humility. Their case for market liberalism depends on seeing market liberalism as an identity demanding not self-effacement but a virtuous self-regard. You, homo economicus, are a crowning achievement—all is lost if you lose your capacity to celebrate yourself!
Still, without question, the social economic theory of Smith and Hayek, with its emphasis on deference to what social interaction produced, offered liberals a compelling way to talk about organizing human life, first in the West, then in the world. Spontaneous order promised a solution—themarket—to liberalism's most pressing problem with democracy—majoritytyranny. The market, conceived in this manner, made possible the fusion between neoliberals and conservatives, which, in the last quarter of the twentieth century, took free market liberalism from a Western orthodoxy to a global one.
One exemplar of that fusionist credo, the conservative-liberal Catholic theologian and philosopher Michael Novak, well understood the power of socioeconomic science to unite the contemporary West in a powerful new way. While Novak observed that "the early liberals" were "much concerned" about "tyranny by the majority," they discovered in the market "a form of economic order that met their specifications." Through the social institution of the market, free people could pursue individual desires in a way that redounded to the public good—thus escaping the threat of democracy's majority tyranny problem. "No longer was it necessary," Novak cheered, "to think of the common good in the traditional way, as a purpose that every individual should intend. The example of the market illustrated that human beings could invent practical institutions, run according to rules accepted by all, that bring about common benefits." Or, to be more precise, the market revealed the best way to order human life independently of any individual or collective human will—or, indeed, any orchestration of human reason.
Offering itself as an institution emerging from our social being, the market claimed to be the only way to reconcile freedom (liberalism) with equality (democracy). "The liberal project," Novak concluded, "could not have gone forward without the discovery of a form of order that is not ordered from above." To be sure, humans need more than markets to flourish, Novak said, but markets introduced "new ways of conceiving of the social order and the common good." To the skeptical and wary, the new dispensation appears to be "an illusion, a form of magic" (perhaps, the reader is left to conjecture, even one of the darker arts). But ironically, Novak countered, that view is "not entirely wrong." The market is in fact a kind of secular miracle, although not in the way the moralists of economic man would have it. Rather than a precious, tenuous victory wrenched from the jaws of human nature, the magic of the market is an organic manifestation of our nature, tending toward what must be considered the perfection or fulfillment of this nature. The miracle of the market revealed three revolutionary ideas: first, its own emergent character; second, emergence as natural phenomenon; and last, a new, true foundation of human order in a science of emergence.
The Emergence of Emergence
"Although clarity is gained by beginning with the economic order," Novak writes, "it is nevertheless important to recall that the first discoveries of liberalism began in arguments over the censorship of books and other moral and religious liberties. It was in that context," he notes, "that the metaphor of the 'marketplace' was first introduced. The importance of a free marketplace for ideas was discovered before its importance for economic creativity." Writing under the peak electric-age conditions of the late 1980s, Novak did not see what McLuhan helps to show us about the origins of the market. Translating into McLuhan-speak, it was the medium of print—the "Gutenberg Galaxy" unleashed by the technology of the printing press—thatwas responsible for fostering a social and psychological environment wherein people could perceive and cognize the modern market.
The effect can be plainly seen in what Thomas Jefferson regarded as one of his greatest lifetime achievements—his Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, introduced under peak print-age conditions in 1779 and passed in 1786. In the crescendo of its preamble, the text affirms that "truth is great and will prevail if left to herself. . . . she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate; errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them." It was the media environment of print, wherein press freedom became foundational to freedom of "speech," that grounded and shaped the public articulation of the market as the technology of emergent social organization.
McLuhan teaches that an old medium becomes mere content within the context of a new medium. The culmination of the electric age in television achieved exactly this, recontextualizing the market in terms hostile to the print-age ideal of the benign emergent order. The electric age, McLuhan writes in The Mechanical Bride (1951), was the first "in which many thousands of the best-trained individual minds have made it a full-time business to get inside the collective public mind. To get inside in order to manipulate, exploit, control is the object now. To keep everybody in the helpless state engendered by prolonged mental rutting is the effect of many ads and much entertainment alike." Televisual technology gave people—anew elite—the means and the motive to reassert planned order through the medium of communications that formed our social and psychological environment. But the key is how it did this. Televisual tech constructed a new formative perceptual environment, overthrowing the old authority of the word with the new electric force of a new kind of image—the mass instantaneous simulcast of imaginary moving pictures—that changed the context of communication from emergent truth to directed fantasy.
That shift, however, was only one part of the televisual transformation. Prior to television, McLuhan helps us recall, there were previous electric media—first the telegraph and then radio. Radio, as people familiar with everything from Adolf Hitler's speeches to Muzak know, pioneered electric-age plans for mind control, shaping our perceptual environment such that top-down broadcasts quickly emerged as a way of ordering the masses through, in essence, propaganda. In replacing radio as the dominant medium, television incorporated radio as content, supplying the new televisual elite with a pattern of propagandistic insight that fueled the astronomical rise—and fusion—of the advertising, politicking, and public relations businesses McLuhan critiques in The Mechanical Bride.
At the same time, the new logic of television's novel context was asserting itself in a powerful, explicitly revolutionary way. As McLuhan also tells us, the audience to which a communication is addressed is one of the most powerful contexts that can shape the content of that communication. And the mass audience to which television's elite had to address itself was a market. The directed fantasy by which televisual elites endeavored to control minds en masse was a means to an end. The end was not dictatorial command and control (as radio-holdover Communist regimes desired) but monetized popularity, which alone conferred the ability to "live the dream." The market had not been destroyed by the rise of electric media; the "battle of ideas," wherein the truth will win out, had instead yielded to the "battle of dreams," wherein victory lay in gaining the agency to dream what one pleased and do what one dreamed.
For those opposed to radio-style propagandistic uses of televisual media, the market of dreams imposed a ubiquitous, inescapable context: any prospect of freedom from the televisual elite's mind control schemes had to come perceptibly from within the electric framework itself. As Mark Stahlman and Jeff Martineau have argued at the Center for the Study of Digital Life, televisual media offered one internal resource to resist—andrevolt against—top-down elite mind control: choice. Under televisual conditions, the battle of all dreams means that agency centers on making the case that people should prefer your dream (brand, experience, lifestyle, etc.) to the others in competition with it, and act on that preference by choosing it over the others. The battle of dreams may have plunged humanity into a new kind of chaos, but the pandemonium was salutary insofar as the exercise of choice would allow preferable outcomes to arise from the pandemonium. The "inner trip," as McLuhan described television (a fantasist twist on the old Calvinist doctrine of "inner perspicuity"), would save us.
The nature of the inner trip, McLuhan said, was "not just idly selecting some exterior goal"—such as using top-down mind control to achieve the popularity, money, and pleasure needed to live the dream—"but seeking for some completely meaningful identification with some great process . . . a completely involving role." That great process was an emergent process. What the inner tripper had to do was attune himself or herself to the comprehensive meaning and identity of the whole that was only disclosed by observing what emerged from the soup of possibility. This explains why resistance and revolution in the peak electric age was inseparable from the use of hallucinogenic drugs—and why, once the hippie revolutionaries took professional control of televisual technology away from the "squares" and the "Man," they treated the market as just one of the many faces of sacred emergence, along with "the wisdom of crowds," "complexity theory," "the new world order," and so on.
Once in charge, the hippie revolutionaries recurred swiftly to the magic of the market as the holistic solution to the problem of electric‑age order. Steven Johnson introduces his 2001 book Emergence with a long, approving quotation from the professor-administrator Lewis Thomas: "It would be nice to have better ways of monitoring what we're up to so that we could recognize change while it is occurring. . . . The city seems to have a life of its own. If we cannot understand how this works, we are not likely to get very far with human society at large."2 According to Thomas, "we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds."3 To be human is "simply" to "think our way along, pass information around, exchange codes disguised as art, change our minds, transform ourselves." Out of the chaos of what is, Johnson claims, collective intelligence immanently shapes itself, adaptively creating social order superior to any intentional plan or law:
One kind of decentralized intelligence (the human brain) grasps a new way to apply the lessons of another decentralized intelligence (the ants), which then serves as a platform (the network) for the transmission of another kind (the virtual cities), which we enjoy while safely sitting in our apartments in the neighborhoods of the planet's largest man-made self-organizing system (the real city). It is emergence all the way down the chain.4
Under electric conditions, the market is fully consummated, fully formed and operative at every level of organization, of which human beings and human societies are just two.
It appeared obvious to Johnson—as it would subsequently to virtually the entire market liberal elite—that any further perfections or improvements of technology would extend the power of emergence and strengthen our relationship with it. "Our new ability to capture the power of emergence in code," he prophesies, "will be closer to the revolution unleashed when we figured out how to distribute electricity a century ago." Once captured in code, emergence would, Johnson imagined, become an explosive democratizing or equalizing force—flattening hierarchies, freeing the oppressed, and forging an unparalleled kind of cosmic togetherness. Digital technology, it seemed clear, would perfect what the market had become: the avatar of the master science, the grand unified theory of everything.
The Revolt of the Machines
That is not what happened. Instead of making what McLuhan called "the global village" into a harmonious, happy, liberated place—freed of all mind controllers by the universal operating system of unplanned order—digitaltechnology did what many now recognize as the opposite. From former Googler James Williams (Stand Out of Our Light) to VR pioneer Jaron Lanier (Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now) to early Facebook investor Roger McNamee (Zucked), scandalized hippie elites now scramble to decry social credit, automated "surveillance," algorithmic nudging, and other digital technologies as black magic used by tech villains to "hack our minds"—taking us back to the bad old days of oppressive top-down propagandists who must heroically be resisted through protest, disobedience, dropping out, and turning on.
Yet while it appears to them—and many in their audience—that the scales have fallen from their eyes, the panicked "resistance" steadfastly refuses to consider what McLuhan leads us to conclude: digital technology has introduced a new context, a new ground, that fundamentally reshapes emergence and its function in human life. The real revolutionaries now are not humans at all, but machines, leading their naïve programmers, ignorant of McLuhan's teachings, to a dehumanized future they refuse to imagine.
To what should be our horror, the technological power emerging from the leading edge of digital programming evinces a serious gap in understanding—among human scientists or the machines they program—ofhow communicative media build and destroy social orders. As UCLA computer science professor Judea Pearl warns us in The Book of Why, "deep learning," the type of artificial intelligence Google's DeepMind subsidiary used to defeat the world's best human players in the ancient game Go, relies on networks that do not "incorporate any explicit representation of the environment in which they operate. Instead, the architecture of the network is left free to evolve on its own. When finished training a new network, the programmer has no idea what computations it is performing or why they work."
Google's team, Pearl notes, "could not have predicted at the outset the program would beat the best human in a year, two, or five. They simply experimented, and it did." The problem is simple: although our understanding of the human brain is still profoundly limited, "we can still communicate with other humans, learn from them, instruct them, and motivate them in our own native language of cause and effect." If our AIs remain "as opaque" as emergent deep learning methods leave them, "we will not be able to hold a meaningful conversation with them."
From this standpoint, the end point of the science of emergence is a menacing one: "superb performance" without "effective communication"—robotic agents producing superhuman results without any grasp of causation, whether commonsensical cause and effect or the environmental causation that McLuhan focuses us on, following, at Jacques Maritain's urging, Aristotle's theory of formal cause. As Eric McLuhan recalls, his father Marshall discovered "that formal cause coincided with ground—situation or environment," such that changes in the context of our communications environment cause massive changes in the content of our perception and behavior. Absent a grasp of causation, and formal causation specifically—committed, in fact, by the idea of emergence to a model in which formal causation must not exist—digital scientists are programming their way to pandemonium, to what the social theorist Philip Rieff called "the primacy of possibility."
Without a crash course in formal cause, the magic of the market will become, under digital conditions, the opposite of what it was so widely seen to be under electric conditions. It will not be a miraculous force for human flourishing but instead a new form of black magic. In place of a "spontaneous," balanced order and liberty, it will enslave human beings through the absolute rule of whatever machine intelligence produces, however it produces it—so long, that is, as such a system can operate before generating its own cataclysmic destruction.
Rieff criticized the attempt by electric-age human elites to destroy "the rule of noncompossibility." In today's digital environment, emergence science impels us toward a life in which machines rule without any sense of why notto do what they happen to want to do. "Human persons are alive with possibility, both for good and for ill," Novak writes. Machines, very much for ill, are surfeit with possibility, yet are not alive; they do not answer the fundamental market questions of Why produce? and Why consume? in the manner of living human beings. Yet absent the exercise of any sufficient limiting power, such as that of the state, they will continue to wrest control of the market away from the living.
The Return of the Obsolesced
In this way the digital revolution is retrieving politics at a site market liberalism had reserved for economics. To be sure, digital conditions are shaping human perceptions and behavior such that we increasingly model ourselves after our machines. But the digital environment is also retrieving a premodern, pre-print grasp of the significance of state power in the form of ruling law, however broadly distributed. Today it is state power alone, not market power or even cultural power, that might limit machines for the sake of human citizens or subjects.
To formalize their study of formal cause, Marshall and Eric McLuhan used the heuristic of a "tetrad" of media effects, intended as a complement to Aristotle's four types of causation. Two of the general consequences of technologies or mediums, they observed, were "retrieval" and "obsolescence." While the logic of science adopted by market liberals thoroughly embraced the notion of linear and progressive obsolescence (except for scientific logic and economic theory itself), the notion of a retrieval of once-obsolete forms was unthinkable. Yet the principles and structure of market liberalism are now showing significant decay. Gone—obsolesced—is the quintessential economic participant of the print and early electric age, the mature adult father carefully calculating and ranking market preferences to secure his interest as head of household.
Here, in his place, is the typical consumer of the terminal electric age: the immature young daughter, her scattered and perhaps contradictory preferences shaped by a fire hose of social media content (i.e. terminal television), from which she and her peers are already disengaging. The replacement of homo economicus with puella economica reflects a desperate attempt by televisual industry professionals to find and lock in new consumers, new revenue streams, and a new pattern for their own agency and viability. Yet they cannot arrest the obsolescence of the social and psychological environment once formed by televisual technology.
What new economic practices and institutions will arise in a West where the medium, not the market, shapes us? We are about to find out. But in keeping with the retrieval of premodern, pre-print political forms, it is likely that where once a unitary globalized West once stood, a plurality of arrangements and entities, some doubtless more prevalent in the Old World than the New, will arise—and not emerge.

O Society says:
We turn to David Hume for moral guidance. He says one cannot get an "ought" from as "is."
This means "X is the case" alone does not entail "X should be the case."
We still need an "ought" premise to arrive at an "ought" conclusion.
Therefore, our currently operating model of we should do X, in which X is any and all things technological, because we can, is simply wrong.
From the seemingly monumental – should we clone humans, develop nuclear weapons, design artificial intelligence, and so on – to the seemingly mundane technologies we use, the only question we ask now is:
"Can we make money off this?"
Our answer is always:
If it makes money, do it. If we don't, someone else will. If it doesn't make money, don't do it.
No one asks why we should assume profit is good in and of itself. Why is profit good?
No, seriously. Why is making a profit in and of itself always our goal? Should it be?
We can make a profit. Ok. But should we? Why?
What if profit gets us all killed or worse?

Q: Prevent status bar NSPopover from activating main window I'm implementing an NSPopover and having it appear in the status bar by setting it as a custom view. I've set its behavior to Transient, and also added a global event monitor so that when any other application gets focus, the NSPopover goes away.
This is working fairly well but the only problem I'm running into is that click on the popover brings to focus the main window of the application. If I put the window on one space and view the popover on another space and interact with the popover, I get thrown back to the space with the main window and it gets focused.

Gameplay footage of the highly anticipated sequel to 2K Games' BioShock has recently been made available on Gametrailers.com. The video gives prospective players a glance at the elusive Big Sister and a fight against Splicers showing off the new Big Daddy drill weapon.
BioShock 2 is set ten years after the events of the original game when several towns around the world have been reporting kidnappings of young girls by attackers described as "thin", with red lights often reported as either being worn by the attacker or spotted nearby in the sea (who in truth, is a single attacker known as the "Big Sister"). The player is expected to take on the role of the first Big Daddy created in Rapture, who survived the motions of the first title.
The title is expected to be simultaneously released in late 2009 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. Check out the video after the jump.

Neutron Stars, Black Holes, and Gravitational Waves
Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, made a remarkable prediction: gravitational radiation.Just like light (electromagnetic radiation), gravity could travel through space as a wave and affect any objects it encounters by alternately compressing and expanding them. However, there was a problem. The force of gravity is around a trillion, trillion, trillion times weaker than electromagnetism so the calculated compressions and expansions were incredibly small, even for gravity waves resulting from a catastrophic astrophysical event such as a supernova explosion in our own galaxy. Discouraged by this result, physicists and astronomers didn't even try to detect these tiny, tiny effects for over 50 years. Then, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, two events occurred which started the hunt for gravity waves in earnest. The first was a report of direct detection of gravity waves thousands of times stronger than even the most optimistic calculation. Though ultimately proved wrong, this result started scientists thinking about what instrumentation might be necessary to detect these waves. The second was an actual, though indirect, detection of gravitational radiation due to the effects it had on the period of rotation of two 'neutron stars' orbiting each other. In this case, the observations were in exact accord with predictions from Einstein's theory, which confirmed that a direct search might ultimately be successful. Nevertheless, it took another 40 years of development of successively more sensitive detectors before the first real direct effects were observed in 2015, 100 years after gravitational waves were first predicted. This is the story of that hunt, and the insight it is producing into an array of topics in modern science, from the creation of the chemical elements to insights into the properties of gravity itself.

Elementary Cosmology: From Aristotle's Universe to the Big Bang and Beyond
Cosmology is the study of the origin, size, and evolution of the entire universe. Every culture has developed a cosmology, whether it be based on religious, philosophical, or scientific principles. In this book, the evolution of the scientific understanding of the Universe in Western tradition is traced from the early Greek philosophers to the most modern 21st century view. After a brief introduction to the concept of the scientific method, the first part of the book describes the way in which detailed observations of the Universe, first with the naked eye and later with increasingly complex modern instruments, ultimately led to the development of the Big Bang theory. The second part of the book traces the evolution of the Big Bang including the very recent observation that the expansion of the Universe is itself accelerating with time.

Of all the places I've explored in Wales, there is one in particular I revisit time and time again. The Cregennan Lakes are a pair of adjacent lakes snuggled in hills between the seaside resort of Barmouth and the market town of Dolgellau. It is here I come to clear my mind and disconnect.
The steep winding road that takes you up to the lakes is your first taste of the beauty to come. Flanked by stone cottages, ancient woodland and crumbling stone walls, every inch you drive forward feels like a step back in time.
No sooner do you pass through two iron gates at the end of the road than the full extent of the stunning landscape reveals itself to you. Green fields doused in light and shadow, craggy hills that once were towering mountains, and carpets of purple heather come together to produce a real-life painting in which you, the visitor, are the subject for a day. In this area, sheep roam as freely on the roads as they do in the surrounding fields, and you cannot help but envy them for living in such an idyllic location.
The lakes themselves are at the heart of this landscape, two sparkling jewels whose tranquillity have the power put even the most weary heart at ease. Here you can hike numerous trails, take photographs, and even fish. Although they are beautiful at any time of the day, the best time to visit is when the sky is filled with cotton-ball clouds. The mix of sun and cloud allows the light to filter through and play on the hillside, just as it did on the day I took this photograph.
It is a comfort to know that there are still many parts of the UK that remain untouched by the ravages of industrialisation. We can only hope it will stay this way for future generations to enjoy. You can see a 360 degree view of the Cregennan Lakes here.
wear good waterproof hiking books as the ground is often rocky and waterlogged.
wear long trousers to deter insects from biting you.
Heather Broster runs the website MirrorLessons with her partner in crime, Mathieu Gasquet. Together, they review mirrorless cameras and related gear, and indulge their shared passion for photography along the way.

Quiz: Can You Identify 11 or More of These WWE Legends?: Zoo
Can You Identify 11 or More of These WWE Legends?
By: Zoe Samuel
Image: WWE
In World Wrestling Entertainment, the cream always rises to the top! Once you're in the professional wrestling Hall of Fame, brother, you're in the Hall of Fame for life! From the early days of the WWE, back when fans knew it as the WWF, the WWE was just another pro-wrestling organization touring the United States and Canada. Still, with canny business leadership and aggressive acquisition of both wrestlers and other organizations, the WWE rose to become the biggest sports entertainment company in the world. Even the mighty Ted Turner and his WCW couldn't stand in the way of the WWE, eventually becoming absorbed by the WWE and turned into a brand of it.
The WWE owes much of its success to television. Taking full advantage of the medium, the WWE televised its regular bouts every week and leveraged its success to launch pay-per-view specials, which raked in millions. Some moments at WWE's special events stand immortal in the annals of pro-wrestling. At times, it seems the men and women of pro-wrestling are immortal, until those tragic moments when they prove otherwise. Through such drama, tragic or triumphant, wrestlers in the WWE evolve into legends. Could you recognize even some of them on sight? It's time to find out, brother! Can you smell what we're cooking?
Do you feel the presence that fills the room? Who is this WWE superstar?
'taker's legend overshadows so many others in sports entertainment, bringing the concept of "kayfabe" to new heights. Is he supernatural? Is he mad? Perhaps both? The Undertaker's style extends from him into the ring itself. He didn't just headline championship matches; he headlined the first Casket Match. The Undertaker was sports entertainment's first great walking nightmare, and it will be hard for anyone to fill his shoes.
Do you know the name of this "Bond" villain?
Ric Flair
Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Kevin Nash
In the modern era, WWE legends often transition to Hollywood movie stars, and Batista is a perfect example of this. Growing up on the wrong side of Washington, D.C., Batista fought hard for a place on the independent wrestling circuit before being drafted into the WWE. Mentored by his elder WWE stars, Batista went on to become a champion, and now, a movie star.
Can you smell what this legend is cooking?
High Chief Peter Maivia
Rocky Johnson
The Rock is one of the rare, third-generation sports entertainment legends. The son of Rocky Johnson, The Rock was one of the icons of WWE's Attitude Era, taking on rivals like Steve Austin, The Undertaker and Triple H. The Rock became the first truly transcendent sports entertainment to Hollywood star, headlining movies like "The Scorpion King" and the "Jumanji" reboot.
Can you recall the name of this fitness-model-turned-Diva?
Torrie Wilson
Rosa Mendes
Carmella
Torrie Wilson's career bridged the era when the WCW and the WWE competed against each other for ratings and ultimately combined into a single organization. Known as a competitor in the WCW, Torrie Wilson both managed and competed in the WWE, until retiring due to injuries in 2008.
Do you know the name of this second-generation wrestling legend?
The son of Grizzly Smith, Jake "The Snake" Roberts was a great performer with a DDT that legitimately worried fans someone could end up with a broken neck. This wasn't all of it, though: Roberts came to the ring with his constant companion, a python he used to terrify and punish his opponents. His python's name was Damien.
Can you recognize which persona this is?
Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Scott Hall
Wrestling fans of the 1980s loved the heroics of Hulk Hogan, but the late 1990s gave fans the heel they didn't know they needed: WCW's Hollywood Hulk Hogan, the leader of the nWo, because once you're in the nWo brother, you're in the nWo 4 life! This shocking turn to villainy delighted fans and cemented the WCW as a legitimate force in sports entertainment.
This big man had a big impact on the narrative story of wrestling. What is the name of this legend?
The Iron Sheik
Kevin Nash didn't become Kevin Nash quickly. Starting out in the WCW, Nash had several unsuccessful experiments with personas. Nash followed this with a WWE turn as Diesel, muscle working for Shawn Michaels. When Nash returned to the WCW, he was one of the founders of the black and white nWo and later nWo Wolfpac.
A change in appearance in 1996 came to define this legend. Who is he?
The Honky Tonk Man
The Ultimate Warrior
Sting was once a colorful, smiling star of the NWA, and then an early face of the WCW. With the rise of the nWo and the release of "The Crow," Sting went dark, favoring black and white makeup and a black outfit, swooping into the ring to exact justice on the nWo heels. Sting disappeared with the WCW, returning only at Survivor Series in 2014, to take down The Authority.
Can you recognize this man who made his WWE debut in 1987?
Chris Jericho
"Hacksaw" took on all foreign heels in the 1980s, making a Reaganesque stand against the likes of Nikolai Volkoff. Which Royal Rumble did Jim Duggan win? The first one. That's how important he is to WWE history. He jumped to the WCW in 1994, survived cancer, returned to the WCW and then returned to the WWE. Legendary.
Woooo! Do you know this man?
Ric Flair had the Rolexes, the hair, the Rolexes, the belts and the Rolexes. Ric Flair is a poor man's idea of a rich man: a blinged-up showboat flashing diamonds and yet somehow still living paycheck to paycheck. Ric Flair earned his stripes in the NWA circuit and took the title "Nature Boy" by force, riding the 1980s and 1990s to become one of the most recognizable faces in professional wrestling in the WCW and WWE.
Getting in on a technicality, this WWE star never wrestled for the WWE. Who is he?
Mick Foley
Disco Inferno is perhaps one of the zaniest wrestling personas of all time. The New Yorker debuted in the WCW in 1995, dancing/wrestling his way to the WCW Television Title against German wrestler and fellow rug-cutter Alex Wright. Disco Inferno allied himself with a strange assortment of baby faces and heels over the years, but when the WCW was fully incorporated into the WWE, he left the organization.
WWE / HBO
Can you name this "Eighth Wonder of the World"?
Andre the Giant was one of the biggest (pun intended) superstars in the WWE from the 1970s and 1980s, with a star rising so high he had a legitimate acting career in films the likes of "The Princess Bride." He was over seven feet tall and weighed in at more than 500 pounds, and Andre the Giant stands tall in WWE history even today.
Can you remember the name of this big man?
Randy Savage
The Giant, AKA The Big Show, AKA Giant. All of those names made perfect sense for this big man. 383 pounds. The man who took down Hulk Hogan in 1995, in the WCW. He moved to the WWE in 1999 and continues to dominate anyone who would stand in his way.
You should remember this legend's name, because he says so. Who is he?
Ivan Putski
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shares a name with one of the founding fathers of Texas and an attitude that is 100% 'Murica. Sometimes it seemed like Stone Cold didn't care about anything, even wrestling, and sometimes it seemed like he was a machine programmed to win and have fun doing it. Either way, they broke the mold with Steve Austin.
Can you name this wrestler from Georgia?
Sergeant Slaughter
"Who's next?" That was the question asked by WCW fans through Goldberg's insane rise in the 1990s, as he would demolish one opponent after another, wordlessly exiting the ring after each match. A former Falcons defensive tackle, Bill Goldberg smashed his way through the WWE until retiring, only to return in 2016 and again in 2019.
This legend broke the walls down. Who is he?
Diamond Dallas Page
Jerry Lawler
Chris Jericho was always a star. A huge hit in ECW, he was the clown prince of WCW. When the clock at WWE ticked down to 2000, he emerged as Y2J, bringing his showmanship and crushing submission hold, The Walls of Jericho, to the WWE. As he's a musician as well as a wrestler, he performs at everything he does.
The legend you see here is related to other legends of the WWE. Do you know who he is?
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
Without High Chief Peter Maivia, there would be no Rock. Starting out as a baby face, by the time High Chief Peter Maivia made his way into the WWE, he was on his way to becoming one of the most hated heels of all time. When his ally Billy Graham lost the WWE title to Bob Backlund, High Chief Peter Maivia turned on Graham, challenging Bob Backlund repeatedly and earning the ire of fans.
This man competed under more names than most wrestlers. Can you remember any of them?
Curt Hennig
Scott Hall. Razor Ramon. The Bad Guy. Whatever you want to call him, Scott Hall was born to be a heel. Slicked-back hair, toothpicks, attitude, swagger and immense height: Scott Hall had it all. After a star turn for the WWE, he switched over to the WCW, where he and Kevin Nash formed the nWo, brother!
Do you know the name of this huge superstar?
Akeem
Billy Kidman
Abdullah the Butcher, AKA "The Madman from the Sudan," was one of the greatest heels in the history of sports entertainment. He was so huge and wide, even a fall from Abdullah the Butcher could be lethal to his opponents. He fought all the greats of the late 20th century, including Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.
Many called this legend The Main Event. What would you call him?
The Icon. The Heartbreak Kid. Sexy Boy. The Showstopper. Shawn Michaels is all of those things and one of the greatest legends in sports entertainment. A rebel among rebels, Michaels won every major title for which he was eligible and competed in some of the most iconic WWE championship events with some of the greatest stars in the game.
Some wrestlers' successes need to be measured with their own scale! Do you know the name of this iconic Diva?
Wendi Richter
Wendi Richter's victories could only be measured on the Richter scale. Entering the WWE in 1983, Richter's successes coincided with the new bond between WWE and its then-partner MTV. By giving the world MTV's event The Brawl to End It All, WWE showcased Richter in her element, as an iconic member of a new generation of wrestlers.
Few are as macho as this man! Who is he?
"Macho Man" Randy Savage is one of the most memorable WWE superstars of all time, with his strange, raspy speech, huge muscles, sunglasses and sound bites that sound like haiku poetry. Managed by the equally legendary Elizabeth, the Macho Man earned a reputation as the most over-the-top superstar ever.
While some wrestlers are known for their size or strength, this one is known for skill. Can you remember his name?
Bret "The Hitman" Hart is known as the greatest technical wrestler in sports entertainment for good reason. He originally came to the WWE as part of the Hart Foundation with tag team partner Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, and they twice won the Tag Team Championship. After a string of victories, he was forced to retire in the early 2000s due to injuries.
This Diva defined the term for a generation. Who is she?
Sasha Banks
Trish Stratus is one of the most aptly named of wrestlers, as her rise took her to the stratosphere. After winning the Six-Pack Challenge Match at Survivor Series 2001, Stratus would repeatedly win the WWE Women's Championship, retiring in 2006.
The man you see here made his bones with the NWA. Can you name this WWE legend?
Big Boss Man
Ivan Putski is a wonderful example of an immigrant family coming to the U.S. and making his way in the world. Transplanted to Texas, Ivan Putski was beloved by fans because of his incredible strength. A contestant at the 1978 World's Strongest Man competition, Ivan Putski would go on to win the Tag Team Championship in 1979 with Tito Santana at his side.
Few names warrant a Madison Square Garden Marquee, but this man's did. Who was he?
Dean Malenko
Scott Steiner
The 1980s could not have happened without Roddy Piper; something in the space-time continuum would have torn and things would have skipped straight into the 1990s. One of the greatest stars of all time, Roddy Piper was the greatest heel of the 1980s, shaving the head of defeated opponents,
Do you know the name of this legend who used several before settling on his most famous handle?
Robert Remus's Sgt Slaughter persona hit the WWE in 1980 and stuck. Drawing on the wrestler's past as a United States Marine, Sgt Slaughter was based on the Marine Corps's drill instructors he knew in his time in training. Slaughter's departure from the WWE happened in the mid-1980s over toy rights.
Can you name this perfect legend?
Rob Van Dam
Rick Steiner
Son of Larry "The Axe" Hennig, Curt Hennig was born to wrestle. It was perfect. In fact, his nickname "Mr. Perfect" was pretty perfect. He was a skilled technician, and he also had a flair for showmanship and cultivated an image that excited fans. Hennig first appeared in 1988 and continued to dominate for the length of his tragically short career. He passed away in 2003.
This blonde had a lot of ambition. Can you name her?
One half of the original Bodydonnas, Sunny is a highly intelligent Diva who partnered with Skip and Zip to win the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XII. She would go on to manage various successful tag teams, including the Legion of Doom, The Godwinns and The Smokin' Gunns.
Can you name this competitor on the left who partnered with the Hardy Boyz?
Lita didn't enter the WWE with The Hardy Boyz, but she made her name with them. She's a four-time champion, but Lita is perhaps best remembered for her rivalry with fellow Diva Trish Stratus and her love triangle with Matt Hardy, Kane and Edge. Yes, you read that correctly.
WWE / NBC
Do you know the name of this legend who defeated the man on the moon?
Jerry "The King" Lawler will always be remembered for his remarkable turn as a broadcaster and his many years as one of the most dominant and beloved wrestlers of the 1970s and 1980s. Lawler stands alone, however, as the man who wrestled comedian Andy Kaufman, twice piledriving him and slapping him on "Late Night with David Letterman."
This legend was a scholar of the game. Can you recall his name?
Goldust
"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes was one of the biggest stars of the 1970s and 1980s in American professional wrestling. A showman first and foremost, Dusty Rhodes could talk smack with the best of them, and he helped create and shape some of the conventions of wrestling fans enjoy to this day. His son is Goldust.
Do you know this dangerous brawler who made her WWE debut in 1998?
WWE Women's Champion Jacqueline's career began in the WCW, where she made her bones breaking the bones of others as part of a team with Kevin Sullivan. Once in the WWE, Jacqueline twice became the WWE Women's Champion, in addition to spending time as a ref and a judge on "Tough Enough."
Can you name this legend who was one of the greatest heels of all time?
Few heels were as timely as The Iron Sheik. After coming into the WWE in 1983, he was a colorful villain to face off against the likes of Hulk Hogan and Sgt Slaughter, with whom he later teamed up under another name.
Some wrestlers were slow, and some were quick. This man was fast! Who was he?
The Ultimate Warrior was a force of nature, charging into the ring as fast as possible, throttling the ropes, pounding the turnbuckles and then decimating his opponents at maximum attack speed. How much time did he need to take the Intercontinental Championship from The Honky Tonk Man? Thirty seconds.
Do you know the name of this guitarist?
The Honky Tonk Man was pure 1980s Americana. Fancying himself a musician and a wrestler, he would have a six-string at the ready either to play, or more likely than not, to use to bludgeon an opponent. Perhaps the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, The Honky Tonk Man held the title for 454 days after winning it with less than clean moves.
Can you dig the name of this wrestler who commanded respect in both the WCW and WWE?
Booker T was one of the most dominant forces in the WCW and one of its final champions. When the WCW joined forces with the WWE, Booker T became one of the WWE's newest hard-fighting competitors, taking on and defeating many WWE staple stars, including Steve Austin and The Undertaker.
Leave wrestling for yoga? This man did it. Do you know who he is?
DDP. The Diamond Cutter. Anyone who watched wrestling in the 1990s knows those words. Diamond Dallas Page was a manager in the AWA before and after he made his WWE debut in 1990. Managing a host of "Diamond" branded stars, at 35, DDP became the wrestler we know and love, challenging The Undertaker when the WCW combined with the WWE and eventually retiring to reach "DDP Yoga."
Can you name this mercurial wrestler?
No, this Billy Graham is not the famous preacher, unless you're talking about someone who preaches the gospel of pain! Styling his persona on Muhammad Ali, Billy Graham wore outrageous clothes, styled himself in outrageous ways and said things like his famous self-description, "The man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour."
Do you know this man whose background brings new meaning to the phrase "cage match"?
Bam Bam Bigelow
Debuting in 1988, Big Boss Man was a beast in the ring. A former corrections officer, Big Boss Man manhandled his opponents like they deserved punishment. Before retiring and returning as a heel in 1998, Big Boss Man faced his greatest fight at SummerSlam 1991 in the form of The Mountie.

Revealed: Which 'Dance Moms' Alum Is Joining The Cast of Season 8?
The Lifetime hit series Dance Moms returns in less than two weeks and we are gearing up to watch the drama unfold. But who will star in the new series? Are any of the original dancers returning? And who, if anyone, will be the new Maddie?
Dance Moms first premiered back in January of 2011. The show follows teacher and studio owner, Abby Lee Miller, her talented group of young dancers (know as the Junior Elite Competition Team), and their mothers. Teaching her students a new dance routine every week, the team travels across the country weekly to compete in dance competitions. The ultimate goal? Willing a national dance title.
But, the road to nationals is always a rocky one. Miller is famed for her ability to train "professional, employable, working dancers." But, there's a lot of madness within her method. Miller utilizes a brutally honest and abrasive teaching style to gain results from her dancers. Expecting perfection, the pressure she places on children is immense. This often triggers emotional breakdowns from the team and their mothers.
The super successful series abruptly went on hiatus when Miller was sentenced to federal prison due to bankruptcy fraud. But despite this, Miller's ongoing battle with spinal cancer, and her partial paralysis, a new season of the show is finally getting ready to air. Let's take a look at who's a part of the new competition team.
Ten-year-old Ketchman is the only returning member of the team from previous seasons. (Though it has been confirmed that her former teammate, Elliana Walmsley, will rejoin the show at a later point in the season.) Specializing in ballet and acrobatic dance styles, Ketchman quickly became one of Miller's favorite dancers because of her strong technique, incredible flexibility, and penchant for winning first place.
Under Miller's guidance, Ketchman won a national title. Following in former teammate Maddie Ziegler's footsteps, she was also featured in a Sia music video. Ketchman has kept consistent with her training since Season 7 ended, so if she plays her cards right, she certainly has a shot at being the face of the new ALDC team.
Brady Farrar
At 14 years old, there seems to be nothing this dancer can't do. Specializing in a multitude of dance styles, from ballet, to tap, to ballroom, he seems to be a jack of all trades. He is being slated as "The New Maddie" because Miller seems to favor him and the moms harbor no small amount of jealousy towards him. With tremendous accolades under his belt already, including being named the Young Male Dancer of the Year by the American Dance Awards, he's absolutely one to watch.
Kamryn Smith
The youngest member of the new ALDC team, this 8-year-old still has 5 years of dance experience under her belt. Known for jazz and contemporary styles, she won the title for Petite National Dancer just last year.
GiaNina Paolantonio
Though she is only 13 years old, this dancer already has a resume that most professionals dream about. Specializing in jazz and ballet, Paolantonio has already danced in a major motion picture, The Greatest Showman, performed with Mariah Carey, had a role in a Broadway musical, and been on Nickelodeon. With such a bevy of experiences, she should be able to adapt to the stress of Dance Moms quite nicely.
Sarah Georgiana
This 11-year-old ballerina is known for her fantastic technique. She formerly attended Studio 19, where Dance Moms alum, Chloe Lukasiak, attended after her original departure from the show.
Hannah Colin
A triple threat, this 14-year-old excels at theater and singing alongside dance. Her dancing forte includes tap, hip-hop, lyrical, and contemporary.
Savannah Kristich
No stranger to dance competitions or to competing on television, Kristich finds her niche in lyrical, contemporary, and ballet styles. Having previously competed on World of Dance, her incredible talent helped her make it all the way to the division finals of the show.
Pressley Hosbach
If hip-hop is your favorite style of dance, this dancer, who also excels at lyrical and ballet, is someone to keep your eye on. At just 12- years old, she already has professional experience under her belt. Having danced back up for Justin Beiber during his Purpose Tour, she seems equipped to handle the pressures of the show.
Everyone is replaceable
We've met the cast, but nothing is set in stone. As Miller loves to say "everyone is replaceable." We'll be tuning in on Tuesday, June 4 to see who stays and who goes. We can't wait to watch the drama unfold.

Foundation For Restoration Presents Awards At Annual Gala
By Editor | December 24, 2019 | 0
The Foundation for Restoration of Ste. Genevieve presented awards to four recipients at its annual Christmas Gala on December 15 at Audubon's Grill and Bar.
An historic preservation award was presented to Rev. Ed Nemeth for the work he has done to stabilize the Catholic Church of Ste. Genevieve.
That work includes stopping the water damage to the church foundation, replacing roof tiles and more. Also, church records of marriages, baptisms, and burials are being digitized. Researchers will soon have access to these at the library.
Becky Millinger was granted a preservation award for the work she spear-headed on the restoration of the Antoine Oneille House on Main Street.
That house had been deteriorating and now it is a showplace with very usable space for the Presbyterian Church, according to a release from the foundation.
Two awards were given for distinguished service.
Dr. Steve Hoffman and the Field School from Southeast Missouri State University were recognized for more than 20 years of archaeological work in Ste. Genevieve. Every summer the field school conducts two weeks of study in town.
Tim Good with the National Parks Service was recognized for his work in bringing the Sainte Genevieve Historical Park to reality.
A committee of foundation members annually chooses the recipients for these awards. The Historic Preservation Award is named for Harry B. and Constance Matthews, long recognized and very important to the efforts to preserve buildings, history and culture of Ste. Genevieve.
Foundation president Sara Menard said, "These four worthy award winners join a list of honorees dating from 1988. This year's choices represent the good work that continues in town and showcases the importance of preservation. Congratulations to all of them."
