With 8:12 left in the game, Pokey Chatman sent the three starters who'd been resting back into the game, just as Tiffany Hayes hit a free throw to take Atlanta's lead to 17. The next five minutes of action saw a 19-2 Chicago run that just hadn't looked plausible through the opening three periods. The difference offensively was that the Sky finally got deep into the paint, against a visibly tiring Atlanta team. Delle Donne was aggressive attacking the rim, finishing through contact and drawing fouls. The rest of her teammates chipped in around her, with Young continuing to work her backside off like she had all night, and both Prince and Courtney Vandersloot converting drives in the lane.
The creeping disintegration of McCoughtry's offensive production was a problem for Atlanta in that run. She couldn't get by Young any more, after running the floor hard all night and covering Delle Donne for much of it on the defensive end. But she was still trying to make plays, so forced up a lot of contested jumpers with Young right in her face, or Fowles showing hard to cover her with double-teams. None of the shots went in. As in the first half, everything was interconnected, but this time working against the Dream. With Chicago finally managing to score consistently, the breakaways weren't there for Atlanta, and their speed and rhythm fell apart. A three from Delle Donne over de Souza – Chicago's first points in the entire run outside the paint or the free throw line – tied the game with under four minutes remaining. It was the first time Atlanta hadn't led since the opening two minutes of the game.
Then the Dream finally came up with a response. They ran their old pet high-low play from Lyttle to de Souza, which ended in yet another strong finish from Erika (there'd been a lot of those over the course of the night). Then they got a break when McCoughtry ran over a Vandersloot screen – for what would've been McCoughtry's sixth foul if the officials had called it – before sneaking behind Delle Donne for a steal and a breakaway layup. As so often happens with comebacks, it looked like the Sky might've expended all their energy making the run only to come up short right at the very end.
After a timeout, Prince missed a three from the corner. McCoughtry got by Young for possibly the only time in the entire fourth quarter, only to be met by Prince and Fowles who forced her to lose the ball on the way up. Then Prince missed two more attempts at threes, with the Sky now the team showing all the energy and getting all the breaks to track down offensive boards. Prince's second miss led to a putback for Fowles. McCoughtry forced up a three, which was very reminiscent of the one she jacked at the end of Game 1, wanting to win the game and be the hero. Just like that attempt, it was well short.
The back-and-forth excitement continued. Delle Donne missed for once, but Fowles was fouled in the fight for the rebound, and went 1-of-2 at the line. At the other end, Shoni Schimmel pulled up for a tough leaner at the free throw line over Vandersloot, and made it for her first basket all night. That gave the Dream a three-point lead with only 30 seconds left. And from there the Delle Donne show took over again. The Sky tried to clear out the left side of the floor for her, and she drove left and hit a tough pullup off the glass over McCoughtry and Lyttle. Thomas was fouled intentionally, looked desperately nervous at the line, and missed both shots. Chicago set the ensuing play up differently, but essentially ran the same thing again. They cut everyone to the right side of the floor, creating space for Delle Donne and trying to make it as difficult as possible for help to arrive in time to stop her scoring. Lyttle still should've been closer – you're not scared of Young beating you from the corner, and the referees were never going to call a defensive three-seconds violation – but it was a smart play-design. Once again, Delle Donne drove left, and hit another banker over McCoughtry on the run to give Chicago the lead. Their first lead since the opening two minutes of the game, with eight seconds remaining.
Inevitably, Atlanta put the ball in McCoughtry's hands. She took it from Schimmel up high, then used a de Souza screen to drive right. But the Sky knew as well as anyone else that McCoughtry wanted to take the shot. Fowles stayed with her off the screen (with Delle Donne rotating properly under the rim for once to cover de Souza), while Young chased over it. McCoughtry still managed to pivot back and put up a leaner from 15 feet that bounced on the rim… bounced on the rim again… bounced a third time… and fell off. The comeback was complete, and Atlanta had been eliminated in agonising fashion.
Key Players: Delle Donne was obviously the star. She scored 17 points in the fourth quarter – including 13 in the central 19-2 run – and dragged her team back from what seemed like an impossible situation. Fowles stepped up her defense in the final period as well. But a mention has to go to Tamera Young, who hit a series of jumpers early in the game when her teammates were sleepwalking, continued to make lots of little effort plays throughout the game and in the crucial late stages, and defended McCoughtry impressively to the end. She got very little rest, and always gets minimal credit amongst Chicago's star-studded lineup, but the Sky wouldn't have had a chance without her.
Atlanta will be sick about losing from such a dominant position, on top of the obvious disappointment about their season coming to an end. Fatigue was clearly a factor in the fourth quarter, and maybe Michael Cooper needed to make more effort to rest his key players over the course of the game, but they seemed in complete control. McCoughtry could've shown more faith in her teammates in the final period, especially when she was constantly being cut off by Young and extra defenders, but those are the shots you know you have to live with when she's your star. They were all falling in Game 2 and everyone was over the moon. After three years where they made the Finals from a lower seeding, they finally had the #1 seed and home-court advantage, and lost both games on their own court. They'll spend the offseason thinking about what might have been.
Notes of Interest: The whole series was an entertaining chess match between Cooper and Chatman from the start, with both teams shifting defenses from man-to-man to zone, switching matchups, trying to steal rest for key players, and generally manoeuvering at every turn. It easily could've gone either way in the end.
Chicago go on to meet Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals, a team that have had their number in the vast majority of their meetings. The Fever will have home-court advantage in the series which starts on Saturday night. The detailed WNBAlien preview will be up in the next day or two to examine the matchup, along with the preview of Phoenix-Minnesota from the West.

FSM Board: What was the least important film score?
General Discussion: What was the least important film score?
I'm really wondering about this one.
I have so many of them, it's hard to quantify.
Just out of curiosity, which Solaris are you referring to (Artemyev or Martinez)?
You can't escape me , Marky!
Hello..Isn't all forms of Art...Very Subjective? Just like this wionderful delightful thread.
It's quite Zen, isn' it?
Cute idea. Solium wins for The Birds.
Hey Mark, I'm checking in to see if you are okay in snowy Seattle? I read that people descended on grocery stores like the "zombie apocalypse" because Seattle would be shut down due to winter storms.
We have lots of snow on the eastern side of Washington, but we are used to it. Our cities have a lot of snow removal equipment, and most (not all) of us know how to drive in it. I have two daughters in Seattle who have been working at home these past few days. Hope you are safe and stay warm.
Yeah, that Swan Lake by that Tchaikovski (sp?) guy is bloody awful.
Hi, Joan. You're right - Seattleites freak out even when the snow isn't sticking all that much to the streets. I journeyed to my grocery store yesterday afternoon just as the snow began to fall. By the time I arrived, most of the shelves for perishable items (milk, breads) were picked clean! I hope the situation is better by Monday or Tuesday, lol!

Thursday afternoons when I was a kid, my dad would come home from his church office to write his Sunday sermon. He wrote on an Osborne computer, a heavy beige thing the size of a breadbox, its entire screen not much bigger than the track pad of the laptop I use today. Dad worked in our narrow kitchen pantry, his books stacked on the table and my mom's enormous cookbook collection threatening to tumble from the shelves over his head.
I don't remember ever witnessing any anxiety about his writing, any worry that maybe this week he wouldn't be able to think of some new way to interpret an old and familiar Gospel. All I saw was that he would sit and type on Thursday afternoons, and at some point print the sermon out on half sheets of paper, the left margins progressively indented (a format that helped him keep his place while speaking). Sunday morning, he would preach for seven to ten minutes. Week after week after week.
I learned something about writing from my dad, and I learned because much of his writing happened right in the midst of our family life. Even after he bought that computer, he continued, as all the parent-writer books advise, to carry his writing with him; Dad's ubiquitous clipboard, its stack of unlined paper holding drafts of both sonnets and sermons, came along to doctor's appointments, driving lessons, and to baseball games where, several times each summer, we'd drive to Shea Stadium to root for the Mets.
The leisurely pace of a baseball game allows plenty of time for reflection and writing; no wonder writers from Marianne Moore to Doris Kearns Goodwin have written on the game. Baseball movies, in turn, often include a character who's a writer, whether it's a sports writer commenting on the action, or a figure like Bull Durham's Annie (Susan Sarandon), a composition teacher who can hardly utter a sentence without quoting from one of her favorite authors. Until recently, I hadn't thought much about the writer in Field of Dreams (Phil Alden Robinson, 1989), distracted instead by the movie's sentiment, its typically romantic view of the game and the relationship between baseball and family. But the writer in the film plays a key role in helping this film's baseball-loving husband reconcile with the idea of being a father.
We meet Terence Mann (James Earl Jones) midway through Field of Dreams, after learning about him at the community PTA meeting: some parents want to ban his novel, The Boat Rocker. Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) sits in the audience listening while also pondering a voice he heard earlier, urging that he "Ease his pain." Already having plowed his corn field into a baseball diamond at this voice's urging (and becoming the community laughing stock in the process), he's ready to take action, if he could only figure out what. As his wife Annie (Amy Madigan) argues passionately against the book banning, Ray decides that Terence Mann--Pulitzer Prize winner, 60s-era political activist, and baseball fan--must be the one whose pain he's meant to ease.
Terence turns out to be an isolated, crotchety man so worn by his past political involvement ("I was the east coast distributor of involved," he tells Ray wearily) that he hides out in a messy Boston flat stacked with piles of papers and books. He no longer gives interviews or advice; he no longer writes. But he comes along with Ray to a Red Sox game, and comes along even further, first to Minnesota (to find the ghost of a once-promising young player) and then to Iowa, Ray's home, to watch two whole teams of baseball ghosts relive their glory days by playing in this diamond carved from the corn.
Along the way, he develops a friendly, fatherly relationship with Ray, and helps him take a step toward reconciling with Ray's own ghost, his late father, who urged him to play ball for so long and so hard that it was no longer any fun. When he was 14, Ray tells Terence, he stopped playing catch with his dad because he read--and was politicized by--Mann's novel, The Boat Rocker.
"Now that's the kind of crap people are always trying to lay on me!" Terence protests. "It's not my fault you stopped playing catch with your father!"
He won't let his writing be the cause of their split; he can let his writing prompt their reunion.
Everything Ray does in the film, from building the field to embarking on the road trip with Terence, is done in the name of spontaneity, of refusing his dad's legacy of being tied down by commitments. It's Terence, the writer, who points out that Ray is like his dad--he works hard, he loves his family--in good and compelling ways. Ultimately it's Terence who's invited by the baseball ghosts to disappear into the corn patch; because he's a writer, he gets the chance to tempt death and write about the after-life. Ray stays behind with his family. As Terence and the ghosts recede, a new one appears--Ray's dad-- who plays a long-deferred game of catch with his grown son.
I've heard this scene makes grown men cry. Even I, who never played much catch with my dad (nor have a fraught relationship to repair) find myself moved by the sight of father and son, reconnecting wordlessly as they toss the ball back and forth. Dad and I still connect over baseball (though now we root for different teams) but mostly we connect with words. I no longer just watch him write but, having learned both by his example and by his craft, now read and comment on his work. We email drafts back and forth, playing catch with writing.
What a wonderful tribute to your father and the power of words! I love your closing line!
I, too, love that final image. What a cool way to connect with your father! Has he seen this piece? What did he think?
This is a lovely piece about your father, and about how writing can bring people together. I love the image of the cookbooks about to tumble down on him as he writes his sermons.
Since Elrena asks, maybe I should say I loved it -- though I'm always surprised by the different recollections we bring away from the same life. It made me think of an essay my other daughter wrote about her grandfather and maple syrup. Playing catch with a baseball is fine, but in the beginning was the Word and therefore nothing conects us more fully to each other - through the Word in whom we live and move and have our being.
Caroline ~ What a wonderful Father's Day tribute! I, too, love your closing line. And to think you were a Mets fan at one time. I've been a Mets fanatic since day one, still am. And have written about them many times.

Lawmakers, Armenians urge U.S. to investigate attack on Syrian city

By Richard Simon
WASHINGTON – For Rep. Anna G. Eshoo, the attack on a Syrian town that is home to descendants of the Armenian genocide was a painful reminder of the past.
"I can't help but think, 'Here we are again,'" said Eshoo, whose grandparents survived the early 20th century genocide. "It's like ripping a scab off of a wound.... History is repeating itself."
Eshoo, a Democrat from Menlo Park, joined other California representatives — including some with large Armenian American constituencies — to call attention to the rebel assault last month on the northern Syrian town of Kasab near the Turkish border and to press for humanitarian aid to the victims and an investigation into Turkey's role in the strike.
Syrian rebels, including some linked to Al Qaeda, crossed into Syria from Turkey on March 21, attacking the home to about 2,500 Armenian Christians and forcing many to flee. A week later, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles, accusing Turkey, which has called for Syrian President Bashar Assad's ouster, of helping facilitate the attack.
Representatives of the Armenian National Committee of America, who joined several lawmakers at a Capitol Hill news conference Tuesday, called for, among other things, the U.S. to investigate Turkey's assistance to the rebels, facilitate the return of Syrian Armenians back to their homes, and provide at least $3.5 million in humanitarian assistance for displaced civilians from Kasab.
There was no immediate response from the Turkish Embassy in Washington.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank) and Rep. David Valadao (R-Hanford) recently joined Reps. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) and Michael G. Grimm (R-N.Y.), co-chairmen of the Congressional Armenia Caucus, in a letter to President Obama calling the attack "far too reminiscent" of the early days of the Armenian genocide.
An estimated 1.2 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks as the empire was dissolving during World War I.
Resolutions have been repeatedly introduced in Congress over the years to recognize the mass killings between 1915 and 1918 as genocide. But the measures have run into resistance amid fears they would damage U.S. relations with Turkey, an important ally. Though historians have concluded the killings were genocide, Turkey has contended that the deaths were due to war, famine and disease.
"The United States cannot sit by idly while these extremists target civilians and force more than 2,000 in this instance to flee their homes,'' said Rep. Jim Costa (D-Fresno). Also attending the news conference were Reps. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks), Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park), Schiff and Pallone.

Sydney Hobart hub
Sydney City Marine, the state-of-the-art shipyard on Sydney Harbour, a stone's throw from the Sydney CBD, has welcomed several high-profile Sydney Hobart entrants, including last year's overall winner, Giacomo (now Wizard) and contender, Black Jack, owned by Peter Harburg.
Craig Boddington, Project Manager at Sydney City Marine, says SCM is the logical choice for yachts competing in the 2017 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race for its superb location – "five minutes from the Sydney CBD and 20 minutes from Mascot Airport" – the wealth of technical expertise onsite and the ease of docking for yachts ofall sizes.
"SCM is a full-service shipyard that can handle all facets of race yacht repair, maintenance and refits," says Coddington, himself a veteran of two Sydney Hobarts and many thousands of nautical miles cruising and racing all around the world.
"We can handle everything from full resprays and rigging to carbon fibre, and all sail brands are represented locally. For crews, owners and all the entourage associated with a team, everything is on our doorstep. They can spread out their gear over our 25,000m² site and we can accommodate 100ft yachts undercover for work in all weather."
As well as a Lloyds-certified 800 ton ship lift and boat ramp with 47 Tonne submersible trailer and 100 Tonne travel lift, SCM has its own marina with on-water space for boats to enjoy unrivalled proximity to this season's summer of sailing, including the Bird Island Race and SOLAS Big Boat Challenge.
"We have 45 full-time staff and hundreds of contractors at any one time here," says Coddington. "All of us are sailors in one form or another – plus we're friendly, and we know that deadlines and budgets are paramount concerns for our customers."
Alex Nolan, Black Jack Boat Captain, says SCM is the champion yacht's "second home".
"We have been coming to SCM for years. We can store all our gear in the one place and the Sydney Harbour/CBD location is so convenient for our team. The yard service is second-to-none. The SCM team is flexible to work with us to achieve what we need to, every time."
Mitch White, Boat Captain for the Volvo 70, Wizard (ex-Giacomo) last year's Sydney Hobart winner on corrected time, is a loyal customer at SCM.
"I run multiple boats – 18 in all, some racing, others cruising and a few power – and they're all clients of Sydney City Marine," Mitch states. "SCM has the space, the skill set, from painters to boat builders and every other service in one yard, and they're very accommodating. They're flexible and only too happy adjust to all the changes that invariably happen when you're dealing with boats."
Wizard has been at SCM for a paint and general "reberthing" to freshen up gear and superstructure ahead of the 2017 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
The 2017 edition will be the 73rd running of Australia's bluewater classic, starting at 1pm AEDT on 26 December 2017 on Sydney Harbour. The fleet of 110 yachts, including a record 31 internationals, will then race 628 nautical miles to the Tasmanian capital.

Getting the most out of a summer sports camp
Dan Naumovich
Sports camps are becoming as much a part of summer as swimming pools and barbecues. Often hosted by high schools or colleges, although privately run camps are also available, the camps provide kids the opportunity to spend a week sharpening their skills in their favorite sport. It also gives them a structured activity that breaks up the summer routine.
"Fun in the Sun." "A Day at the Beach." "Hard Work!"
Ask middle-school kids to vote for a summer theme, and that third one would likely come up short.
Yet in a hot gym at Southeast High School in Springfield, Ill., in the middle of June, a tired and sweaty group of basketball players use "hard work" as their rallying cry after a two-hour session of drills, instruction and scrimmaging at the Spartans' summer basketball camp.
Andre Williams, 11, was one of those kids. He spends plenty of time on the hardwood — he plays on his middle-school basketball team as well as on a competitive team that plays almost every weekend during the summer.
But his father, also named Andre Williams, says a summer sports camp adds another dimension to his son's basketball development.
"We do it mainly for the instruction. These guys have proven to be good coaches, and I love to get my kid around good coaches and learn some different things. It's fun, and they learn. You can't beat that," the elder Williams said.
A better foundation
To some parents, sports camps may seem to be a daycare option for a week. But because most camps meet only for half days or less, they really don't make for a good babysitting service. In fact, for working parents, getting their kids to and from camp in the middle of the day can be an extra burden.
It's, perhaps, for that reason that camp organizers note most attendees tend to be pretty committed to their sport.
"I'd say 90 to 95 percent are very serious and passionate about basketball, and we construct our camp with that in mind," said Lawrence Thomas, head boys' basketball coach at Southeast High School in Springfield, Ill., whose camp drew in more than 30 players. "They really love the game, and we challenge them the week that they're here."
That's what attracted Tryis McPike, whose son, Richard Cragg, attended the camp.
"He can get a better foundation in basketball and develop his skills and be a part of a team. They talk about working together as a team and the importance of being a good sport when you're playing the game. This is what I was looking for, and this is what I got," McPike said.
A look into the future
From a coach's perspective, sports camps are a chance to scout area talent, something that's particularly important at the collegiate level.
"It gives an opportunity to look at kids and see what their potential is. Some of the girls who have come to the camp in the past have been recruited by us to play softball," said John Marsaglia, head softball coach at Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Ill.
The benefits of hosting the camp extend beyond finding future players. It serves as a fundraiser, albeit a modest one, for the softball program.
Current players are encouraged to help out, creating a bond with the campers and, hopefully, adding to their fan base.
It even benefits the school in general.
"It serves as a way to get people in our community onto the campus and see what Lincoln Land Community College is all about," Marsaglia said.
The main focus of the camp, however, is teaching girls to become better softball players.
Marsaglia, along with his staff and many of his current players, hosted two camps this summer. The first, attended by 12 girls ages 9-14, concentrated on things such as base running, bunting and slap hitting. The full skills and fundamentals camp was held the following week for about 45 campers.
While most had considerable playing experience under their belts, there were some relatively new to the game. No matter their skill level, one of the most satisfying experiences for Marsaglia is watching a player improve over the course of the week.
"The expression on a girl's face when she slaps a pitch and she's never been able to do that before, it's just priceless," he said.

Tricky Matter: The Work of Art in the Age of Digital Reproduction
ISSUE 8 | HUNGER | SEP 2011
Toni Pecoraro, Three-Color Aquatint, 1985, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International, via Wikimedia Commons
Consuming without eating: the dream of the compulsive eater and the guilty glutton. The promise of any number of miracle diets: "Have all your favorite foods and don't gain a pound!"
In the present age of digital reproduction and transmission, it is less and less the case that we have to eat in order to consume: that we have to acquire objects, get materially fatter and bigger, in order to absorb information and meaning (Grooveshark instead of CDs, Wikipedia instead of encyclopedias, e-books, etc.). Indeed, works of art (which I will conceive broadly to include meaning-carrying works of varying form and size–essays, blog posts, news articles, videos, tweets) are less and less like material products that we consume like a loaf of bread or a cigarette, to the point where the concept of "consumption" hardly applies to them. We can see what is new about digital reproduction by examining three aspects of it:
1. Reproduction. Once an object exists, it may be copied and transmitted (reproduced) virtually effortlessly, costlessly. This itself causes a change in how we as users treat the object. The object has no aura; there is no distance between us and it; we do not need to treat it with reverence.
2. The act of consumption. Nor does consumption cost anything in either of the traditional ways. On one hand, the user does not have to pay anything for use of the object, does not have to give up anything of him/herself. And on the other hand, the user does not take anything out of the world by using the object.
3. The result of consumption. Since in consuming the object we do not take anything out of it, it is only logical that nothing is added to us. Consumption does not fill us or satisfy our hunger. On the contrary, it stimulates hunger.
1. Digital Reproduction
In 1936, Walter Benjamin predicted that mechanical reproduction of artworks would lead to the destruction of their "aura," the phenomenon of distance between the viewer and the unique artwork.1 It is connected with the cult value of the object, its religious or magical power. Contrast internet memes: we sense a particular quality or power in them, but it must consist somehow in the memes' reproducedness, their effortless spread/sprawl. Rather than being unique and distant they turn up everywhere, right in front of us. What amazes us is their closeness and ubiquity; we don't even need to seek them out.
Mechanical reproduction is like the mating of livestock. Cattle are a mass commodity; one is replaceable with another. So in the conception and birth of a calf there is not the unique creative act, no intention of some genius to admire, that is present in even in the simplest sketch or worst poem: "Someone imagined this and made it real." But there is still what is called a miracle of life, a creation of life out of the struggle of other life. Living matter combines and expends some of itself in order to put another piece of matter into the motion that is life.
Digital reproduction of a file is like (how perceptive our terminology!) the reproduction of a virus. It is an active question whether viruses qualify as biological life. Viruses hardly have bodies: they are an envelope of information, instructions. It requires a separate living cell with its own organelles and nutrients to read those instructions and reproduce the virus. New viruses are not even made out of the bodies of other viruses. The virus is not a continuity of substance but only of a pattern or configuration.
Thus the digital reproduction of an artwork comes closer to the direct spread of an idea or a thought. Works of art more and more resemble directly the weightless immaterial thought. We can only logically tolerate that they don't (in concept) obey physical laws if (in concept) they are not physical.
We talk of the "spread of ideas" through the spread of books, as if we could tune out the physical dimension and see only the movement of mental entities between minds. We would see only thoughts moving from mind to mind, no nasty fingers and eyes to obstruct and complicate the view. But in reality an idea could only travel by hitching a ride on some pile of wood pulp and pigments, and could only enter into another mind through the service entrance that is the nervous system. Now they have been granted a terrain of their own on which to walk freely.
2. Consumption
When we eat a steak and say a prayer to the cow's spirit, there is still a certain respect for the sacred, a distance maintained even up to the moment of ingestion, in contrast to the complete elimination of distance by the surgeon. In these cases our body is a temple, and a creature that is sacrificed in it must receive its proper rites. Contrast to things we think of as mass-produced, faceless, unlimited: fish sticks, Cheetos, popcorn. Nothing, as far as we're usually concerned, had to die in order for us to enjoy these things, no persistent object led a long independent life whose fate ends with us. The difference in quality or prestige between a steak and a Cheeto is not the point, as we could well consider a contrived pop song on LP vs. a genius and innovative musical piece on YouTube. The point is that except for a few cents worth of electricity, which surely does not cross our mind, it does not cost anyone anywhere anything for us to listen to that BitTorrented Helmut Walcha rendition of Bach's Trio Sonatas. It is a free thing in the universe.2
There are other things that we don't respect as food yet expect to nourish us. Multivitamins; energy drinks; meal-replacement bars or shakes. All presume in some way to produce health and continued life without the ritual of eating, without the bodily work that demands respect of both the object and our own consuming body.
Benjamin said that for the film there is no aura, no distance. At least with films you have to set up, have some sort of ritual, buy admission. With digital reproduction there is no cost at all. And if we do not have to put labor into obtaining the product, then to us it is much less a mass of congealed labor. Besides, would not whatever labor value is in the article be divided among every copy and so be effectively zero? These are silly questions though, as most internet content is profitable on a quite different model, namely through the sale of advertisements (there are other models including subscription and outright purchase, but the advertisement model is paradigmatic). The website providing content is paid by advertisers to stimulate desire and subsequent consumption of the advertiser's product (or, recursively, the advertiser may be another advertisement-funded website, paying the first site to divert traffic to it so that its advertisements may be viewed). Benjamin distinguished between the cult value3 and the exhibition value of an artwork, and saw that a mechanically reproduced artwork retains no cult value and all of its value must be exhibition value. Digitally reproduced content also must depend exclusively on exhibition value.
3. Still Hungry
Benjamin noted, "The film is the first art form capable of demonstrating how matter plays tricks on man." Digital "un"matter has its own tricks.
It's generally true of miracle diets that in the end they don't work, they are no substitute for real food. (If they do achieve their intended effects, it's likely that they take their toll on the dieter's health in other ways.) When we listen to a song on Grooveshark, are we less satisfied, less nourished than we would be by a live performance or a physical recording? One thing that is said about the music industry in the internet age is that the most successful, well-adapted artists are those who can give away their music for free and actively tour, so that the reproductions generate desire for the cult value of the live performance.
So we can say this: digital objects no longer fill us, but rather make us hungry. Another way to put this is that digital content is more an advertisement than a product. Is this unqualifiedly true of all digital content? Don't the dozens of articles we read online satisfy the desire for entertainment or up-to-date knowledge that brings us to them? But the satisfaction of an appetite is not the same thing as nourishment. Knowing what is going on in the world is at most a preparation for going into the world and doing things there. We read about political events in order to later take informed political action; even when that action is little more than having a conversation about it or making different purchases, that action is where the consummation takes place. This was true of mass-produced print material too, but not nearly to the same extent. The internet comes substantially closer to being a mirror of the world, a second version of it. The more this is the case, the easier it can be to confuse watching the world with living in it.
This is in a way a trick, though there is no need to think of it as devious as long as the things we get hungry for are good things to eat, and we eat them. We have unparalleled resources with which to craft our hunger. But we would be complicit in a terrible trick on ourselves if we didn't recognize what we were really hungry for, or if we thought that the things making us hungrier were in fact feeding us. This happens sometimes, and we begin to starve.
1 Benjamin describes an object's aura as "the quality of its presence…a most sensitive nucleus—namely, its authenticity…The authenticity of a thing is the essence of all that is transmissible from its beginning, ranging from its substantive duration to its testimony to the history which it has experienced." He later defines the aura as "the unique phenomenon of distance, however close it may be."
2 We might occasionally think things like "The creators of YouTube were brilliant," or "Thank God someone recorded this so that we have it today." But note the "we"–we are thankful on behalf of humanity, which now holds this artwork in common. In essence we are glad that this artwork survived the long dark ages to our civilized times in which anything once produced is available to everyone forever.
3 "The uniqueness of a work of art is inseparable from its being imbedded in the fabric of tradition…Originally the contextual integration of art in tradition found its expression in the cult. We know that the earliest art works originated in the service of a ritual—first the magical, then the religious kind. It is significant that the existence of a work of art with reference to its aura is never entirely separated from its ritual function…One may assume that what mattered [for objects used in ritual] was their existence, not their being on view." Exhibition value, on the other hand, is the value connected with an object's public presentability. When a painting is placed in a museum, its exhibition value is emphasized. A newspaper photograph has no value apart from the fact that it is seen.

The SS-Führungshauptamt, which was under the command of Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, was formed in August 1940 from certain departments of the SS Main Office (SS-Hauptamt or SS-HA) and the Allgemeine SS (General SS). Its main duty was the operational and administrative control of the Waffen-SS, including developing general policy on recruiting and handling special personnel requirements. It also oversaw the Kommandoamt der Allgemeine SS (General SS HQ). Hans Jüttner was promoted to the position of chief-of-staff of the SS-FHA and handled the day-to-day operations. When Himmler stepped down as SS-FHA chief in 1943, Jüttner took over as chief of the department till the end of the war.

Recruiting members for the Waffen-SS was handled through the SS Main Office and its chief, Gottlob Berger. This caused overlapping jurisdiction and friction between the two SS branches. Berger's command had a problematic relationship with the SS-FHA, which was responsible for organising, training and equipping the Waffen-SS. Jüttner's initial efforts at integrating the recruits from western Europe and Scandinavia were inadequate with insufficient emphasis on training and appointing officers and non-commissioned officers from the ranks of the new recruits. The SS-FHA also wanted the Waffen-SS to be a small elite corps, but Berger and Himmler knew that Adolf Hitler needed as many divisions as possible, even if that meant some Waffen-SS formations would be of lesser quality. During the war years, to meet the high casualty rates and expansion needs of the Waffen-SS, members of the Allgemeine SS and other personnel working for SS organisations were used for compulsory recruitment drives by the SS Main Office to meet the manpower needs of the Waffen-SS.

Murkowski Could Face Challenges to Committee Post
By John Stanton
Posted November 20, 2010 at 7:13pm
While most Senate Republicans may be prepared to move past Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski's decision to run a write-in campaign against GOP nominee Joe Miller this fall, it doesn't mean her position as the ranking member on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee is safe.
Murkowski's office has consistently said that she will look to retain her position as ranking member, and Republican aides said last week that Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other top Republicans are not interested in seeing her pushed out.
But committee and subcommittee leadership decisions are made by committee members, and McConnell has no control over whether a challenge is mounted.
Murkowski's fate as the top ranking Republican on the energy panel depends largely on what moves other ranking members make — and how many new Republican members are added to committees after their electoral thumping of Democrats.
And while those decisions will remain up in the air for weeks or even months, one thing is certain: Sen. Richard Burr isn't ruling out a bid to oust Murkowski.
"Oh no, no, not at all," the North Carolina Republican said earlier this week when asked if he could rule out a challenge. But Burr, the ranking member on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, was careful to explain that there are many scenarios in which there would be no challenge to Murkowski.
"There's a lot of moving parts here," Burr said, noting that if Sen. Mike Enzi (Wyo.) opts to not stay on as the ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, he could look to take the energy committee position.
GOP aides also pointed to a second, though less likely, scenario, in which Murkowski could face a rebellion on the committee.
While leadership and most rank-and-file Republicans are happy with the return of Murkowski — and the loss by tea party favorite Miller — conservatives in the conference could see her as hostile to their efforts to remake the party. Murkowski has repeatedly called out Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.) in recent days, accusing him of costing the party control of the chamber by backing tea party candidates such as Miller.
With a number of new members in DeMint's camp looking for slots, including Sens.-elect Mike Lee (Utah) and Rand Paul (Ky.), Murkowski could face a decidedly conservative GOP side of the conference — one that may not want her at the top.
