Messiaanse vredestichters: Intertekstuele relaties tussen Zacharia 9–14 en het Evangelie van Matteüs.Wim J. C. Weren - 2015 - HTS Theological Studies 71 (1).details
Messianic peacemakers: Intertextual relationships between Zechariah 9-14 and the Gospel of Matthew. This article deals with images of war, violence and peace and with the role of messianic leaders in Deutero-Zechariah and the way in which texts from Zechariah 9–14 have been interpreted in the Gospel of Matthew. The first section describes the lines of meaning in Zechariah 9–14 on the basis of word fields related to violence and universal peace. The second section discusses Deutero-Zechariah's own position in the development (...) of messianic expectations in Old Testament texts. In the third section, the question is asked how the meaning of texts from Zechariah 9–14 about messianic leaders has been influenced by earlier prophetic texts, and how these texts in their turn have been transformed and updated in the Gospel of Matthew, which contains explicit quotations from Deutero-Zechariah in 21:5; 26:15; 26:31 and 27:9–10. The fourth section summarises some interesting semantic shifts appearing in Matthew's gospel compared to Deutero-Zechariah. Moreover, some critical comments are presented against the idea defended in some recent studies that there is a sharp tension between Jesus's role in Matthew as the bringer of a peaceful ethical message, and his violent and vindictive role at the final judgement. At the end of this article, the burning question is raised whether Zechariah's and Matthew's messages, both of which are characterised by a certain degree of exclusivity, can play a constructive role in modern multi-religious discussions about common roads leading to global peace.

De opstanding van Lazarus : Bijbelse echo's in Lazarus is dead van Richard Beard.Wim Weren - 2016 - HTS Theological Studies 72 (4):1-10.details
This article discusses the relationship between the modern novel of Beard and John's stories about Lazarus and Jesus, and wants to give answers to three questions: how is the Lazarus story in John interpreted by Beard?; what meaning does John's story have within its own literary and cultural setting?; what similarities and differences are there between Beard's interpretation and the original meaning of the Johannine story? Questions 1 and 2 require an intratextual analysis, which focuses on the structure and meaning (...) lines in each of the two texts. Then follows an intertextual analysis which in this article is particularly aimed at comparing the contents of the concepts/ death/ and/ live/ in the Fourth Gospel with the ways in which these concepts are semantically coloured in Beard's book. Studying echoes from the Bible in modern literary contexts can explain how the rich potential of meaning of biblical texts is being unlocked in new texts, time and time again, but can also help us to read the Bible with new eyes through the lens of modern culture.

Herodias and Salome in Mark's story about the beheading of John the Baptist.Wim J. C. Weren - 2019 - HTS Theological Studies 75 (4):9.details
According to Mark 6:14–29, John the Baptist was beheaded by the order of Herod Antipas. This dramatic event became inevitable after a cunning interplay between Herodias and her daughter, who remains nameless in the New Testament. According to Flavius Josephus, she was called Salome ( Jewish Antiquities XVIII, 5.4 § 136–137), and under that name, she went down in history. For the sake of convenience, I also call her 'Salome' in this article. Salome is the Greek form of the Hebrew (...) name Shlomith, which was very popular in early Judaic times and means 'she who brings peace and tranquillity'. Unlike the faithful women elsewhere in Mark's gospel (5:21–43; 7:24–30; 14:3–9), Herodias and her daughter are not exactly models of virtue. Yet, it is questionable as to whether they are both thoroughly bad and whether they are both equally responsible for the murder of John. This article does not provide a historical reconstruction of what exactly happened at the court of Herod Antipas, but it contains a narrative analysis of what happened in the court of Herod Antipas. This narrative analysis is followed by an intertextual approach in the second part of this article. Firstly, I will compare Mark's story with what Flavius Josephus tells about the beheading of John. Thereafter, I will highlight the roles of Herodias and Salome in the play Salome by Oscar Wilde from 1894, which, in turn, forms the basis of the libretto for the opera Salome by Richard Strauss from 1905. Do we encounter in these modern artistic recreations (Neuschöpfungen) only transformations of Mark's story, or also transgressions in which Wilde and Strauss have largely replaced the original meaning of the story with new meaning?

In another month, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks will be adding "and Tourism" to its name, a move that will necessitate a lot of changes -- at least in terms of the number of signs the department puts before the public.
There's a series of signs at the entrance into the 24 state parks, big limestone posts that hold wooden planks.
KDWP Secretary Robin Jennison has looked at a couple of those signs and is hopeful there's some way to pull the planks out so the new division can be added on to the signs.
He's not overly optimistic just yet, but he's also not too concerned.
He's also not too concerned about rushing to replace the hundreds, if not thousands, of signs that mark other locations, such as the Walk-in Hunting Areas that are so popular.
Currently, about a million acres of land is enrolled in the WIHA program, or about 2,000 different tracts of land, according to Mike Miller, chief of KDWP's information division in Pratt.
There's also spring walk-in hunting areas and special hunts. There's also the refuge and public hunting signs at the state parks.
Not to worry, Jennison said, there won't be a wholesale rush to change the signs.
Instead, signs will be changed as they are upgraded or when new signs are needed.
"All the new stuff will come out that way," Jennison said of reflecting the new name of the agency.
The tourism department, now in the Department of Commerce, will be folded over into the KDWP office in Topeka, which will require some adjustments in the building there.
But Jennison figures the department will save money, even with the construction, over what it might cost in rent that would be paid at its current location.
Unrelated to the merger, KDWP also will be changing its logo, away from the buffalo head in the center of the agency's name.
"The state has done that for us," Jennison said of the agency logo.
In fact, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has done that for all state agencies, mandating that everyone use the same logo, one developed by the Kansas Department of Commerce. It is simply the word Kansas, topped by a banner with the state's motto, Ad Astra per Aspera -- to the stars with difficulty. It is, essentially, the banner located at the top of the state seal.
The new logo will replace KDWP's old logo as new equipment, such as trucks are replaced. Patches on clothing will be changed as well, as uniforms are replaced.
The new logo hasn't debuted just yet because of some font issues across state agencies. KDWP is working to get the agency's name -- in two lines, because it's so long -- underneath the Kansas.
"The buffalo will come off the trucks," Jennison said of the current logo displayed on agency vehicles.
Still, he's hoping the buffalo logo, which was first suggested by a member of the agency's commission, will survive in some form.
"The department has such a long history," he said of the buffalo being part of an identifying symbol. "And it is a Kansas symbol. At some point, I want to find a place for it."

Three Book Recommendations
Each issue of Influence magazine carries three book recommendations, which I usually write. Here are my three recommendations from the May/June 2018 issue. (They are cross-posted here with permission.) Yesterday, I posted a longer review of Immerse: The Reading Bible, which also appears in that issue.
Celebration of Discipline (40th Anniversary Edition)
Richard J. Foster (HarperOne)
"Superficiality is the curse of our age," writes Richard J. Foster in Celebration of Discipline. "The desperate need for today is … deep people." These words ring as true in 2018 as they did in 1978 when Celebration of Discipline was first published. And spiritual disciplines are still the way to produce depth. As Foster summarizes the matter in the book's new foreword, spiritual disciplines are "the means God uses to build in us an inner person that is characterized by peace and joy and freedom." If you're looking for help in overcoming the superficiality and distractedness of the current age, start with this book, which is 40 years young.
P.S. If you found this review helpful, please vote "Yes" on my Amazon.com review page.
From Jerusalem to Timbuktu
Brian C. Stiller (IVP Books)
"For two thousand years, the rise and fall of Christian faith has had much to do with renewal and revival," writes Brian C. Stiller. The last century especially has witnessed the largest sustained movement of people to faith in the Church's history. In From Jerusalem to Timbuktu, Stiller identifies five "drivers" behind this growth: the Holy Spirit, Bible translation, indigenous leadership, engagement of the public square, and holistic forms of ministry. "Living in the midst of this resurgence," he asks, "we can't help but wonder: will it carry on?" The only way to find out is to lean in to the Spirit even more.
Small Church Essentials
Karl Vaters (Moody Publishers)
"Your church is big enough," writes Karl Vaters in Small Church Essentials. "Right now. Today, at its current size." That's good news for small-church pastors, but it doesn't let them off the hook. "Small churches are not a problem," Vaters writes, but neither are they "a virtue, or an excuse." What small-church pastors need is a broader understanding of church health and growth. "We are always striving to increase our capacity for effective ministry," Vaters writes. If you're looking for "field-tested principles" for leading a small church, check out this hopeful, helpful book.

Q: Why does the Unity dash lose focus? The majority of the time, after logging in to Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit), the Unity launcher seems to default to the wrong focus level. Instead of, for example, the dash always being on top of other already-opened windows and applications, it sits behind them, forcing me to move the other windows to the side so that I can see the dash.
Why doesn't the dash stay on top?

A: I was facing a similar problem, but enabling 'KDE Compatibility' in CCSM seemed to fix it for me!

Q: MFC Extract CString between tags I'm trying to code a function to retrieve the value between two tags or characters using CStrings, so far I haven't been able to do so.
CODE REMOVED

I'm pretty sure StartIndex and EndIndex have the right values, however I'm stuck at the last step, where I'm supposed to extract the substring from between the tags.
EDIT:// Got it working, thanks to Igor Tandetnik. If anyone knows why SubStr only prints correctly with wcout if I explicitly cast it with (LPCWSTR) it would be greatly appreciated. I'm leaving the working code below in case someone else needs this or wants to improve it.
CString ExtractString(CString strSource, CString strStart, CString strEnd)
{
    CString SubStr = L"";
    int iEndIndex, iStartIndex = strSource.Find(strStart);
    iStartIndex += strStart.GetLength();
    iEndIndex = strSource.Find(strEnd, iStartIndex);

    if (iStartIndex == -1 || iEndIndex == -1)
    {
        wcout << L"TAG not found!" << endl;
        return SubStr;
    }

    SubStr = strSource.Mid(iStartIndex, (iEndIndex - iStartIndex));
    SubStr.Trim();
    return SubStr;
}

A: If you pass std::wstring to wcout, it works fine because those guys know each other. wcout will pick the right << operator for std::wstring
But C++ Standard Library and MFC are separate. wcout doesn't know what to do with CString, so it treats CString object as const void*, it uses operator<<(const void*) to print an address.
Next step, CString returns (const wchar_t*) buffer. But wcout had already decided on const void*, so wcout prints the address of that string buffer returned by CString.
(const wchar_t*) cast will instruct wcout to use the right << operator. You can also use CString::GetString() to let wcout know that wide characters are being sent.
wcout << LPCWSTR(SubStr);
//or
wcout << SubStr.GetString();

Q: MySQL: Working with @vars and subqueries I think MySQL is the most difficult language for me, I've started to learn MySQL one year ago and I still don't understand what I can do and how I can build my queries without asking here.
I have a simple query where I'd like to see how I can @vars, so I've tryied this:
SELECT param_1, @param := param_2, @param
FROM my_table

the result is:
param_1    @param := param_2       @param
Dave       3                       [BLOB - 1B]
Mike       4                       [BLOB - 2B]
Luke       2                       [BLOB - 2B]
Bob        65                      [BLOB - 2B]
Dean       6                       [BLOB - 2B]

Dosen't it expected @param to to be equal to param_2?
param_1    @param := param_2       @param
Dave       3                       3
Mike       4                       4
Luke       2                       2
Bob        65                      65
Dean       6                       6

What is [BLOB - 1B] and [BLOB - 2B]?
Sometimes I make subqueries when I need to get only one value per result of a specific table which can have multiple results, so I use subqueries but I don't know how it works exactly:
SELECT table_1.param_1, table_1.param_2, @param = table_1.param_3, new_table_2.param_1,     new_table_2.param_2
FROM table_1
LEFT JOIN (SELECT *
            FROM table_2
            WHERE new_table_2.param_1 = @param
            LIMIT 1
           ) new_table_2
ON new_table_2.param_1 = @param
WHERE table_1.param_2 = 33

My questions are:
Why I get [BLOB - 1B] and [BLOB - 2B] in the first query?
Can someone explain me how @vars can be passed correctly to subqueries?
When subqeries should be used?
Basically, what is the process of a query, does exist some clear guide on how data is returned?

A: It does not seems required a user defined variables for this query
SELECT
  table_1.param_1,
  table_1.param_2,
  table_1.param_3,
  new_table_2.param_1,
  new_table_2.param_2
FROM table_1
LEFT JOIN
(
  SELECT * FROM table_2 WHERE new_table_2.param_1 = table_1.param3 LIMIT 1
) as new_table_2
ON new_table_2.param_1 = table_1.param3
WHERE table_1.param_2 = 33;

In our office we take a natural approach to health care and we take special care of each and every individual as if they were part of our own family. The first patient visit usually takes about an hour. It will begin with a questionnaire about your symptoms. This will provide us with general information about your condition.
Next comes the consultation, in which we discuss your current complaints. We will also ask you various questions about your health history in order to get an idea of how your health has been throughout your life.
This is followed by an orthopedic and neurological examination which includes a number of specialized tests to evaluate your chief complaint. We will then take x-rays in order to thoroughly investigate your case.
We will immediately begin your treatment on this first visit. We have a variety of physical therapy modalities at our disposal to treat your specific condition. For example, our ultrasound equipment works very well with strain/sprain types of injuries. Our interferential stimulation helps to decrease pain and our Russian stimulation helps to break up muscular spasms. We also have flexion distraction equipment which applies traction to the spine in order to decrease tension and improve mobility.
As an integral part of our treatment plan, we like to incorporate a variety of massage techniques such as deep tissue massage, sports massage and trigger point massage. We typically do massage work prior to the spinal adjustment.
Finally, a spinal adjustment is done. We use several different techniques. The most common method is call diversified and is a technique in which the doctor's hands induce movement into spine. We also do a technique called Thompson Drop in which the chiropractic table is equipped with specialized moving parts that create mobility in the spine. This technique is frequently requested by patients because it is gentle.
Together we will decide what works best for you. As you go through treatment, we will make changes accordingly as you feel better. Ultimately, you will be more in tune with your body as you learn to take better care of yourself through proper diet, exercise and spinal care. Hopefully this will lead to a healthier, happier life.

Thomas Crump (12 March 1845 – 18 January 1907) was an English clergyman and amateur cricketer. After graduating from Oxford University, Crump held various ecclesiastical roles in the Herefordshire/Shropshire area before moving to Somerset in 1880. He remained in Somerset until his death in 1907.

He was a keen cricketer, and played county cricket for both Herefordshire and Shropshire, before making his solitary first-class cricket appearance for Somerset in 1885, aged 40: he scored eight runs in his only innings.

Life and ecclesiastical career
Thomas Crump was born on 12 March 1845, in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire. His father, also Thomas Crump, was described by the cricket historian Stephen Hill as "a man of means who described his occupation as 'gentleman'". The younger Thomas Crump attended Lucton School, an independent school near Leominster in Herefordshire, and then went up to Wadham College, Oxford. He graduated from Wadham in 1868, and became curate in Bitterley, Shropshire. Three years later, he was made vicar of Leintwardine, Herefordshire, where he remained for five years. In 1876, he married Josephine Helen Colvin, the daughter of Colonel John Colvin of Leintwardine House, and became vicar of the nearby Downton-on-the-Rock.

He remained in the Leintwardine area for another four years, before he was appointed as rector of Corfe, near Taunton, Somerset. One of the senior members of the Church of England in the Taunton area, A. C. Ainslie, was a cousin of Josephine, and often visited the family at Leintwardine House. Hill suggests that the appointment of Crump to Corfe was an example of the "nepotism ... in the Church of England". Crump served as rector of Corfe until 1897, when he became vicar of East Pennard, near Shepton Mallet, Somerset. He had two sons and three daughters, and remained vicar of East Pennard until his death on 18 January 1907 from a long illness.

Sporting career
Before his move to Somerset, Crump had played county cricket for both Herefordshire and Shropshire (the latter in one match in 1871), though neither played first-class cricket, and club cricket for Ludlow. He continued to play cricket after his move, and was praised in the Taunton local press for scoring 120 runs for Fullands against Taunton in 1882.

In 1885, at the age of 40, Crump made his only first-class cricket appearance, playing for Somerset County Cricket Club against Hampshire, scoring eight runs in the only innings in which he batted. Somerset's cricket during the 1885 season was so poor that they were stripped of their first-class status, and did not regain it until 1891. Crump remained involved with the county club, appearing for the "Somerset Club and Ground" team whose fixtures were designed to supplement the club's income, and often involved some members of the county's first team. Later, Crump became a member of Somerset's committee. As well as cricket, he became a keen golfer, and was a member of the Burnham and Berrow Golf Club.

The Quebec Nordiques were an ice hockey team who played in both the National Hockey League (NHL) and the World Hockey Association (WHA). This is a list of the head coaches they had during their existence. The franchise moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1995, and became the Colorado Avalanche.

Michel Bergeron coached the most games and won the most points all-time with the Nordiques, with 634 games and 616 points. Maurice Filion and Michel Bergeron were the only coaches to have three terms with the Nordiques. Marc Crawford was the only Nordiques coach to win the Jack Adams Award.

O'Leary's Royal Cork Crew Move up to Third at New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup

Royal Cork Yacht Club shares equal points with second overall at the New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup after the second day of racing.
The impressive display so far by the Anthony O'Leary skippered entry keeps the Cork Harbour crew on course to defend its bronze medal performance of 2019.
The Crosshaven sailors are counting a scoreline of 3, 3, 11, 1, 6, 6 to tie on 30 points with Royal Thames in second and be nine points off the overall lead currently held by America's Southern Yacht Club.
Ireland's second entry into the event, a team from Howth Yacht Club, is lying 17th with a best score so far in the series of 11th taken in Wednesday afternoon's race six.
Day two was just the sort of moment that the founders of the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup envisioned more than a decade years ago when they created the event. Two identical boats crewed by amateur sailors blasting downwind in the late afternoon sun each with their eye on first place in the race. Eastern Yacht Club had had the lead around the top mark, but The San Francisco Yacht Club crew, always at home in some breeze, was chewing into the advantage and looking for any opening to take over the lead. It would come down to the final jibe before a long port-tack run to the finish.
"We both didn't have great jibes," says Sean Bennett, the skipper of the San Francisco crew. "But we had a little better jibe that they did and we were able to fill and get going. Both of us were still in the late-main jibe mode, that flipped them over harder than us so we were able to get just enough ahead on them to get over the top of them and get by."
Of course, that wasn't the end of the story, a drop in the windspeed or a slight shift to the left would've forced both boats to jibe again and allowed Eastern skipper Bill Lynn to repay the favor. But the breeze held and The San Francisco Yacht Club took its first win of the regatta, capping off a marked improvement over Day 1 and putting the team within range of the podium with six races remaining. Coming in third in that race was Southern Yacht Club, which had the best day on the water and vaulted into the lead with 21 points. Royal Thames Yacht Club and Royal Cork Yacht Club are tied for second, 9 points back.

The Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup is a biennial regatta hosted by the New York Yacht Club Harbour Court in Newport, R.I. Since the event was first run in 2009, it has attracted top amateur sailors from 48 of the world's most prestigious yacht clubs from 21 countries. After five editions in the Swan 42 class, the 2021 event will be the second sailed in the IC37, designed by County Wicklow's Mark Mills.
The San Francisco Yacht Club was one of the teams that stepped in to fill the slots that opened when a handful of foreign teams were unable to travel due to COVID restrictions. Among the many challenges, was finding the time to practice together, ideally in an IC37. San Francisco's team is loaded with talent, but Bennett says they're still very much in learning mode in the IC37.
"We're getting more comfortable with the boat," said Bennett. "It's the first time we've raced it. Yesterday, in the bump, we struggled more trying to understand how to make the boat go fast.
"Today [was better] with the flatter water, a little more breeze on, which helps San Francisco people anyway. But we've generally been on a steeper learning curve in the light spots, and we're getting better understanding how to make big adjustments when the wind drops off."
With a second, 11th and first today, the SFYC team is now seventh overall. Despite missing out on the win in the final race, Eastern Yacht Club had a very strong day and is tied for fourth, two points out of second.
But the unquestioned boat of the day was Southern Yacht Club, with a fourth, first and third.

"Basically it was our teamwork," said Lovell, a four-time Olympian who won a silver medal in 2004. "Marcus [Eagan] did an incredible job with tactics. Rick [Merriman] was playing the main. Andrew [Eagan] was trimming the jib, and the team was really clicking today. I think mainly we just didn't make any big mistakes. We got off the line with clean starts, didn't miss any shifts and had great boathandling."
This is Lovell's third Invitational Cup. He called tactics when Southern won in 2017 and finished fifth in 2019. He's especially pleased to be on the helm this time around.
"It's been great, really enjoying it," he said. "It's actually a little less stressful to be driving than doing tactics in a way.
"I tried to look around a few times [today], and I got told I'm the driver, I just need to drive fast. That's what I've been concentrating on, just driving the boat as fast as I can drive it. Everyone's got their job and everyone does their job well, then the team does well."
Yacht Club Argentino wasn't able to move up in the overall standings, but the event's lone Southern Hemisphere team still found reason for optimism as it closed the first half of the regatta with a seventh.
"The last race today was the windiest one, we could sail as fast as we wanted to," said skipper Emilio Miguel. "Honestly, compared to the rest of the fleet, we weren't slow. Even yesterday, I think we were fast. We made a lot of unforced errors. Yesterday, for example, in the second race, we could've been first or second to the first mark. We ended up third, and then we were penalized and it was a disaster, it all went down from there."
In today's first race, they passed seven boats on the final run, and then put it together for a top-10 in the third race.
"The last race was our best result yet, a seventh," he said, "so we're pumped for tomorrow."

Sacred Bones announces two Julee Cruise reissues
Sacred Bones is reissuing two releases by singer and David Lynch collaborator Julee Cruise. On August 17, she'll release Three Demos and The Voice of Love. Three Demos features three previously unreleased demo versions of songs from her debut album Floating Into the Night, including "Falling," better known in its instrumental version as the theme from Twin Peaks. The Voice of Love, meanwhile, is Cruise's 1993-released second album and is being pressed onto vinyl for the first time. Take a look at the tracklists for both releases below and listen to a demo version of "Falling," which is much more darkwave in its original recording—which might have something to do with Lynch's obsession with This Mortal Coil in the '80s.

Why Should You Be Buying Your Spices from an Online Spice Store?
With the world gradually devoting all its concentration and consideration to digitalisation, people are ready to buy almost anything from the World Wide Web.
Spices are the essential cooking components that are used to complete and complement the taste of your food dishes. The quality spices surely turn your food dishes into more various delicacies. The food dishes without spices appears to be entire tasteless.


While much of the nation is focused on the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act and/or the enactment of the American Health Care Act, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) has the potential to quietly transform the health care system. Old models and methods are being transformed by a new focus on value, accountability, integration, and the social determinants of health. A bipartisan law passed in 2015, MACRA is in its first year of implementation.
On this July 7th, 2017 webinar, renown health care economist and researcher, who serves on the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), discusses the new economic incentives facing providers, with a particular focus on the organizational and sustainability implications for CBOs. Major public policy initiatives and private sector payment models are be discussed, and tips and tools for staying on top of key changes in the field are shared.


This summer, Governor Bob Martinez, over the objections of school-board members, turned down a donation from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to the state's Health and Rehabilitative Services Department to operate a clinic that dispensed contraceptives at Northwestern High School.
This month, both the Dade County School Board and the Jackson Memorial Hospital agreed to open the facility if the money could be channeled through the hospital. The governor has said he would not interfere if no state funds were used.
In a related development, Gadsden County, Fla., officials voted to allow a high school clinic in Quincy that offered family-planning services to move 100 yards onto an off-campus site so that it could retain its state funding.

I received my bachelors degree in Physics with Theoretical Physics from The University of Manchester in 1999, followed by a Masters of Advanced Study in Mathemaics (Maths Tripos part III) from the Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge in 2000, where I was a member of Girton College.
I studied for my Ph.D. in the School of Mathematics at the Univeristy of Bristol (2000-2003) under the supervision of Prof. Noah Linden, where I was a member of the Quantum Computing Group.
After a brief stint as a research assistant at Bristol, I arrived at Perimeter Institute as a Postdoctoral Fellow in January 2004, where I worked until September 2006. From October 2006, I was a research associate in the Centre for Quantum Computation at the University of Cambridge for three months. In January 2007, I arrived back in Waterloo for a second postdoctoral position, in which I was affiliated with the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Department of Applied Math at the University of Waterloo, and with the Perimeter Institute. The latter was due to a research grant from the Foundational Questions Institute.

The vast conceptual morass of modernism, modernity, and the modern subsumes many different strands. Christopher Mann, in an earlier piece for this site, articulates one such strand quite nicely, ultimately lamenting global soccer's inexorable march toward "materialistic modernity." For Mann, the modern robs soccer of its spontaneity, its naïveté, its inner Romanticism. For me, the modern strips soccer down to its most raw and most beautiful form. Mann treats the modern as a cultural condition, one that defines an era of commercialization and celebrity. But it's also possible to view the modern as an aesthetic category, and in that vein, T.S. Eliot's version—the one to which I subscribe—illuminates the unlikely literary underpinnings of the beautiful game.
The Eliotian conception of modernism, which I derive from his 1919 essay, "Tradition and the Individual Talent," presents at its core the idea of "tradition." In a literary sense, this idea holds that all literature, from the works of Homer to those of Jonathan Franzen, enjoys a "simultaneous existence," and that this simultaneous existence endows any given work with meaning. We measure artistic significance in this version of modernity by judging the work vis-à-vis the work of "the dead," according to Eliot. Interestingly, and controversially, Eliot also believes that this canon constitutes a "simultaneous order," an order that is altered every time a new work enters the canon. Upon a new work's entry into the canon, a process of modulation occurs until "the values of each work of art toward the whole are readjusted." As Eliot sees it, the present can alter the past, and vice-versa.
Sound confusing? Well, the same goes for soccer, where Eliot's essay can help us consider the accomplishments of players past and present. Consider the case of Lionel Messi. On the surface, he appears to exemplify the Romantic, full of youthful guile, inimitable skill, and iconically bad hair—an individualist anathema to Eliot's impersonal tradition. Some say he's the best player in the world, others say he might be the best player in history. Regardless, these claims are actually grounded in modernity. Eliot writes, "No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone." How can we evaluate Messi? By comparing him to the players he competes against. Who is Messi better than? Pretty much everyone playing right now. This juxtaposition of the work (Messi) to the canon (worldwide player pool) makes the claim possible. Who else do we compare Messi to? More grandiose claims about his greatness invariably include his fellow Argentine, Maradona. The YouTube videos comparing every single (eerily similar) step of their mazy half-field runs side-by-side—those are extensions of Eliotian tradition, Eliotian modernism, in modern day. Maradona's run gives meaning to Messi's, and his past accomplishments situate Messi's current ones. Similarly, Messi's current feats alter our perception of Maradona's past ones. Messi is pretty damn good, but he doesn't have meaning alone.
Moreover, modernism can reveal to us insights into the success of Messi's club. Here we must consider Eliot's depersonalized conception of beauty because, for Eliot, "it is not the greatness" or "sublimity" that matters "but the intensity of the artistic process." The "artistic process" I equate to Barcelona's system: for me, the joy of watching the system collectively overwhelm an opponent trumps any ephemeral awe from watching an individual bit of skill from Messi. Barcelona's flashy players will come and go—see: Ronaldinho—but Catalonia's most famous onomatopoeia, tiki-taka, remains. Barcelona actually employs an almost mechanical system—the kind of artistic process that Eliot later refers to as "an efficient engine"—that deemphasizes the individual. After all, Eliot says that "poetry…is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality." The Barcelona system neither caters to a superstar—just look at the emergence of former squad-players like Pedro—nor relies on the particular attributes of any of its players (e.g. Ronaldo's pace for Real Madrid). On the contrary, each player essentially has the same role: pass and move. At Barcelona, "there is no room for puffed-up, show-boating individuals," says Iain Rodgers for Reuters Soccer Blog. "The players work as a unit, constantly creating space for each other and harrying the opposition into giving up the ball." Each player is fungible, for "the emotion of art is impersonal." Behold! Modernist thought is behind the production-line success of one of the world's biggest clubs.
Next Saturday. Cold. The cacophony of metal cleats. Lionel Messi is in a Blaugrana shirt, standing in the tunnel before the game and thinking. He might be thinking about his coach's pre-game instructions. He might be thinking about the abuse that awaits him from opposing fans. And he might be thinking about how itchy his right shin guard is. But the one thing that Lionel Messi will not be thinking about is the only thing that is guaranteed to happen every single time he plays for Barcelona. Once he steps on the field, he will give up his self-contained existence and open himself up to immediate evaluation, unfair speculation, and comparison to his peers and his predecessors. Once he steps foot on the field, he will shed his individuality and assume the 112 years of his club's existence, Total Football, tiki-taka—tradition. Once Lionel Messi steps on the field next Saturday, in the cold, amidst the clatter of cleats, he will become modern.

In a literary sense, recall how Chinua Achebe's (recent) criticism of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness has affected the current perception of the (much older) book. Likewise, Edward Said's Orientalism has revised contemporary opinion on many novels (Mansfield Park, for example) that have already been published.
"Tradition and the Individual Talent" and soccer glued together? My 19 year old undergraduate self salutes you.
Had you formed some kind of ungodly triangle between Barcelona, Eliot, and Tolstoy's "What is Art?", my 19 year old undergraduate self would be forced to propose marriage.
That is the bee's knees.
I love this blog because of things like this. Bravo, excellent piece.
This is, bar none, the best football writing website on the internet. Shaj, I think this article ranks as my favorite on Run of Play. This really helps put my ruminations on the history of our beautiful game in perspective.
This is great. It reminds me of the RoP series on Pele from August. Good stuff, Shaj.
This statement simply isn't true. Barcelona, to a far greater degree than any other team in the world, rely on the close ball control of their attackers. Not aerial ability or physical strength, but ability to receive the ball in a tight space and control it.
Also, Messi has scored or assisted 38 out of Barca's 70 league goals this season (more than every TEAM has scored bar Villareal, Real Madrid, and of course Barca), a fairly incredible ratio that indicates his importance to the team. Barca are obviously not a one man team, but saying that they don't place a disproportionate creative burden on Messi, more so than his teammates, is just false.
It takes both talent and ideology to build world beating teams. One without the other never produces lasting success. Would Total Football have been as successful without Cruyff and Neeskens? Did Cruyff and Neeskens ever achieve their Ajax success anywhere else?
@matt Exactly. To say that each Barcelona player is fungible and could be replaced is simply ludicrous. Who could possibly slide into Xavi and Leo's roles? Take Xavi's vision and Messi's Jesus skills away from Barcelona and you have a good, but not amazing team.
Before Messi steps on the field he will be thinking about legos. Nothing else.
Cincher of a last paragraph – although the argument is (necessarily) distorted to make more of the system than required, it is uncontroversial that Barca does have a systemic approach within which even great players fit, though the system paradoxically elevates their individual attributes by making use of them in a team context. The influence of the Barcelona way, with its own history (and set of comparisons from "like Ajax" or "came with Cruyff" to "not Real Madrid"), as well as the pantheon or canon of individuals, infuses the meaning of each player on the pitch.
"When we moved up to the first team in 2008, the first thing we did was to opt for a straight 4-3-3 with Leo on the right wing. But it's not surprising that after people have seen us play for a while it gets harder and harder to surprise the other team. Out on the wing, Messi – or any other player – is easier to counter, especially as they nearly always put two men on to cover him.
And we can point to other, albeit less obvious, examples of Guardiola adapting his team to play to the players' individual strengths. Carles Puyol originally played right back, then right centre back, but Guardiola plays him as the left-sided central defender. Why? Because Piqué is stronger at moving the ball upfield to start an attack – that's one of his main "talents" – and the right side of the pitch is where Alves, Xavi and still often Messi happen to hang out ready to set phase two in motion. Or another example: for many years it was a tenet of faith at the Camp Nou that Iniesta and Xavi could never play together because they cancelled each other out – no team needs more than one diminutive pirouetting playmaker, the thinking went. But Guardiola adjusted the midfield system specifically so that they could play together, simply because they were too good not to have both of them on the pitch at the same time.
The system adapts to suit individual idiosyncracies.
I think a little update on literary theory is needed here. What you are getting at in a round about way via Eliot is the concept of intertextuality. Although coined by Kristeva, one can turn to Bakhtin or Barthes as well to understand the "intersecting planes" of various texts. One could imagine "Death of the Author" morphed into "Death of the Individual Superstar" perhaps or "From Work to Text" as "From Game to Play," or something like that. Kristeva also ties intertextuality to modernism. The point here I guess is that you are of course right in trotting out a point about how the past of anything informs the present of it and vis versa but instead of dealing with the complexities of poststructuralist theory which elucidates this process in a way Eliot does not concerning social and temporal relationships, this piece leans arbitrarily on a decontextualized Eliot. In a sense, by not participating in the larger conversation concerning the process you explain you inadvertently make Eliot into "the Individual Superstar" the piece sets out to problematize.
In terms of how this applies to the game, I think the tools of this are rightly pointed out as digital media-you mention youtube. A bit more on youtube and the ways in which video, stats, etc are available now to create these intertextualities to flesh out the particular process of intertextuality and modernism you speak of would be useful. Of course many have compared players or teams before the digital age but these new tools have certain let's say "time-lag" diminishing properties, to borrow from Bhabha, that simply hearing someone who saw Madrid in the 50's speak or reading about Nottingham Forrest simply do not. This is not to say they are better, though perhaps they are, but that a new way of understanding the way we compare is afoot and we need to get neck deep in it.
@Jim Yes, how dare he use a work that talks about the ideas he wants to talk about rather than using a work that you would have preferred and that talks about the ideas you claim he actually wants to talk about. Let's keep the hermeneutics of suspicion on a leash.
This is not simply I like this book and you like that book. Eliot is at the cusp of a conversation that develops into the ideas that I mention. In other words, he's a good enough starting point but if you don't get past him in relation to the past informing the present informing the past then you're simply arbitrarily ignoring seminal arguments that could bring your argument into more focus, and make it more relevant to what scholars are saying in relation to it today. Eliot has insight into the point the author is making, no doubt, but so much has been done with this issue that dwelling on Eliot alone is to ignore 50+ years of brilliant scholarship. I'm not saying that anyone has to do anything my way or that every highlight of theory needs to be touched on in a blog posting on football but I do think that when many comments are just "brilliant" and "wow," while others do not address the literary theory deployed in the making of the argument, that complicating what the author constructs as theoretically straightforward, when it clearly isn't, is useful. In short, a lot is elided in getting us to the author's Messi/Maradona comparison or sphere of influence and unearthing a bit of that is not just an ad hominem attack on the author but a way of continuing the conversation in the vein of the original post.
@Jim Fine, but your comment above isn't about "continuing the conversation," it's about attacking the post for what you see as its faulty emphasis. Your points about postmodernism are interesting as far as they go, but criticizing an 800-word blog post about Eliotic modernism and soccer for not ranging across the works of Homi Bhabha is just hobby-horse riding, or else intellectual trollery.
You could just as easily critique the post for failing to incorporate a foundational discussion of late-nineteenth-century canonicity, or critique your own comment for not incorporating any of the really interesting Spanish-language work on colonialism and aesthetic hierarchy (the soccer equivalent of which would be the Castrol Rankings, obviously). Either might be useful if presented as an extension or a source for possible further discussion; neither is particularly valid as a dismissive critique.
@Brian Phillips @Jim I get it. In order to truly appreciate this post we must read all the other posts and literary critiques from before and after both Eliot and this post.
@Brian Phillips Actually continuing the conversation is exactly what I'm doing. In fact, I am telling the author that the conversation on the topic has moved on and that he would be wise to incorporate these new facets (Bhaktin, Barthes and Kristeva) into his discussion. To be clear, the Bhabha comment is about the use of new technology not the use of Eliot. My comments are not tangental in the way that bringing in Benitez-Rojo or something would be just to throw theory around for its own sake or for my own self-agrandizing purposes. The main point of the much of the post is that figures like Messi do not stand alone but in relation to other figures. I said "Hey, Eliot is just the tip of the iceberg in talking about these things. Take a look at these other people too." So the theorists I pointed out are highly relative (unlike say questions of canonicity) because they directly engage the author's central point and seek to extrapolate from it. I'm not careening his argument into some far flung and irrelevant discussion but simply providing food for thought via a clearly linked genealogy between Eliot and studies on intertextuality. I don't know why you find that so distasteful.
@The Dead No, that's the author's job.
Speaking for myself, I like this site because of posts like the above, and I like posts like the above not for their sophisticated analysis and airtight intellectual vigor, but because they offer an uncommon means of thinking about the soccerfootball I spend altogether too much of my time watching and thinking about.
I am all for continuing the conversation (the discourse!) and watching the history of literary theory unfold via the soccer, but I'm way too much of a dilettante to get involved in the specifics.
I will however suggest to Jim, with all due respect, that perhaps he's suffering a problem of style, if not content. Get an ironic Gravatar! Make a jokey aside about a dopey football journalist's latest irrelevant twitterism! The discourse and etc., you understand.
But most importantly: A matter where I am not a dilettante is in reading words strung together in long chunks, and I'd like to heartily encourage the use of paragraph breaks, particularly when using words from the big kids table like Bakhtin and problematize.
Ya'll are the Oxbridge of soccer/football blogs!!! Makin' me think about footy like I've never thought before. Thank you!
@Tim Using words like "problematize" (a horrific coining that; I'd love to meet the person who uttered it, so I could slug him) will get you ignored more thoroughly than brandishing an Esso card at Tiffany's.
@Jim I think @Brian Phillips is defending his writer from what came across as a condescending dismissal, rather than an honest attempt to engaging and extending the discussion. Whether you meant it or not, "I think a little update on literary theory is needed here" is a bit of a Foghorn Leghorn "step aside, son" moment. Yes, the conversation in literary theory has moved on, but that's not what the post was about.
Changing a formation does not imply changing the system, Puyol on the right or center, Messi on the right or center… Tiki Taki Tika Taki Tiki Taki…….. Tactics here are really not relevant.
Although a sound case may be made – and yet, at once, not – for the hegemonicity of the multiple intertextual resonances of PSG's legendary attacking trio of Colin Deleuze, Tommy Derrida and Phil Foucault as a diachronic metaparadigm, a rigorous post-redeconstructionalizational analysis of the signified/signifier dichotomies at play reveals that it was in fact (i.e. the construct) – and also in fable (i.e. the deconstruct) – the twin-pronged strike power of Bryan Barthes and Kenny Levi-Strauss, not least under Alf Saussure's then diversionary – yet ultimately reversionary (cf. Keegan, op.cit.) – wingless 4-4-2 system, for which they surely will be best disforgotten.
@Archie_V You were always already going to (dis)cover that comment.
@Austin A bruising? No, I should be OK. Their midfield hard man, Gary Althusser, is out for the rest of the season with a gammy knee.
@Michael K. While I was certainly critical of the post, I did not dismiss it. If I had done that I would have told him that he was barking up the wrong tree. Instead I said that he's not barking nearly far enough up the tree. And while I do agree that ultimately the post is not about literary theory, it is used to make a point and it was how it was used that I thought could be improved. But I think what some people are missing is that I was being critical of theory because I think that if it had been developed then the points about football would have been better. I'm not a theory for theory sake guy, I want it to get us somewhere and I don't think the Eliot did it as well as others could have.
As the in-house literary theorist at Run of Play, I'm not going to comment on this discussion except to say that I will now edit all my old posts with Shakespeare allusions and replace them with Tony Kushner allusions. This may take me some time, however.
Is Jim my roommate in disguise? If so when did he start doing this pretentious breathing about soccer? Or give a sh!t for any sport, for that matter.

Lowdown: A boy and his come to life teddy bear find it hard to turn into adults.
Seth MacFarlane has long established a reputation for crazy and original comedy through his TV animation series like American Dad and Family Guy. In case you were wondering how the MacFarlane thing works with live action on the big screen, look no further than Ted. It's a direct answer written and directed by the man himself.
Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis reunite after their "legendary" Max Payne adventure. John (Wahlberg) is a kid so unpopular his only refuge is the teddy bear his parents got him for Christmas, Ted. He loves Ted so much he wishes for Ted to become alive, and as all Christmas wishes go this wish comes true – Ted the teddy bear is still a plush toy, but a conscious one at that. One that speaks with the voice of MacFarlane himself.
Roll the tape from 1985 to 2012, and John is still best friends with Ted. So much so that Lori (Kunis), the girlfriend that is way too overqualified for a guy with a dead end job who smokes pot all day with his teddy bear, feels marginalized. Something's got to give: either John stops being a child and lets go of Ted, or Lori goes. Which way would it be? Perhaps, in the face of subplot driven adversity, one can have the cake and eat it to?
Ted embodies everything we grew to expect from Family Guy. It starts with that all too familiar voice (a voice that by now cannot be used on any non Family Guy like character), moves on to the use of actors from the Family Guy enterprise (like Patrick Stewart doing the narration), but mostly focuses around that good old crazy feeling of the cartoons. The basic concept, the one of the teddy bear coming to life, already puts us on a good starting point there; the crazy and often chaotic and perhaps sloppy direction and editing style takes things further. The politically incorrect jokes seal the deal, though.
Those jokes stretch along a lengthy continuum of wanking and deliberating on things that have no direct implications on the plot. Most obvious is the fixation on the cultural icons MacFarlane grew up on, particularly that bad old Flash Gordon movie. Perhaps because Star Wars was the subject of many a MacFarlane piece of work already, Ted puts a lot of focus on Flash Gordon and its hero character instead. If that film meant anything to you then you will like Ted regardless of anything else it does or doesn't (it sure did matter to me; I recall watching it nine times in one weekend when my uncle rented the VHS, an experience that left my aunt in total despair). If, however, you find all this messing about nothing more than much ado about nothing then you will probably be too disturbed by Ted's focus on the nonsense rather than being the good old plot driven film that every good [conforming] movie should be like.
Best scene #1: John flashbacks into his first meeting with Lori. In his mind, that was something like Officer and Gentleman meets Saturday Night Fever to become Airplane.
Best scene #2: John tries to guess the name of Ted's new girlfriend. His only clue: it's a bogan name. John starts spitting out candidate names machine gun style, leaving me to wonder how many takes the scene required before Wahlberg managed it (regardless, I bow my head with appreciation).
Worst scene: Ted and John fight in a scene that is perhaps the most Family Guy crazy in the movie. It's not bad, but it's just too crazy; in my opinion, it does not enhance the film but rather detracts. Unless, of course, crazy is what you seek.
Overall: I've enjoyed watching Ted, yet I cannot honestly say it's a good movie. 3 out of 5 stars.

Are Real Madrid at the start of a new era?
By Alejandro Fernandez - 18 January 2023, 12:58
Winning the Champions League and La Liga double is likely to settle any nerves about the direction of a club, especially in the fashion that Real Madrid did last year. Los Blancos put together a run against arguably the best teams in Europe last season, seeing them off with cinematic drama.
In addition, Karim Benzema picked up the Ballon D'Or award, while Luka Modric elevated himself into the discussion for best ever central midfielder. Yet in a recent press conference, Carlo Ancelotti declared that Real Madrid were entering a new era.
"It is a young team. Because everyone talks about Modric, Kroos or Benzema, but there were already youngsters and there are more who have arrived this year. I think we are at the beginning of a cycle. It is a moment of transition from one fantastic era to another. There are players who will take command of this team, of the Kroos, Modric or Benzema."
Of course the discussion about who those stars will be is the cause of much speculation. With the growing cost of supporting a football team, elite teams are more in need of bona fide stars than ever.
Naturally, there are ways to circumvent this, by using sportswear or football coupons from the likes of CouponBirds. Just by searching for popular brands sites like Adidas.com, supporters can make fandom more affordable by using coupons. For teams and sports enthusiasts who need to buy a lot of sports gears, this can save money.
Looking at the current crop of Real Madrid youngsters, the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga look set to a part of elite football for many years to come. Forwards Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior making strides into global stardom too, and bring with them many Brazilian fans.
However there is a feeling that when the likes of Modric, Benzema and Kroos depart, that Los Blancos will need a star with a strong brand in order to dominate the market too.
Perhaps that might be 16-year-old Endrick Felipe, whom Florentino Perez has already committed many millions to. He is touted to be the next big thing on the block, coming in a long line of global Brazilian stars.
Yet Perez in particular has an itch to scratch where Kylian Mbappe was supposed to be. The French forward turned Los Blancos down last summer, causing outrage in Madrid. Still, there is a sense that if Mbappe could be brought to the Santiago Bernabeu, then it is the only logical solution. As the footballer predicted to dominate the rest of the 2020s, he would lend the Real Madrid brand a quality nobody else can – at least at the moment.
In a purely footballing sense, Ancelotti might be right that Los Blancos are moving into new territory beyond their golden era of the last decade. With Real Madrid, it is never purely football though, and in terms of the brand and the football behemoth, it feels as if the Bernabeu is waiting for a new star to take the torch onwards this decade.
Tags Carlo Ancelotti Real Madrid
The whole article could have been summed up with: we need a striker that is a threat.
Benzema isnt that striker anymore. Its a far cry from Ronaldo era and even Benzemas last year. If Mbappe wasnt such a drama magnet and hugely entitled spoiled brat, it would make sense to swap him for Vini plus money. But his antics are putting him at a negative value tag.
Rest of team is fine. Start scoring goals at will and grind will turn into cruising.
"Naturally, there are ways to circumvent this, by picking up sportswear or football kits from the likes of CouponBirds. Just by searching for popular brands sites like Adidas.com, supporters can make fandom more affordable by using coupons."
Really my guy?

Bitcoin price analysis (BTC): More bulls can participate?
August 22, 2018 Ethereum
Bitcoin bulls passed the $ 6,600 short-term resistance to push the price to $ 6,900 before retiring. Applying the Fibonacci retracement tool on the latest highs and lows swing shows where other buyers might be waiting to enter.
In particular, 61.8% of Fibonacci aligns with the broken resistance and the rising trendline linking the lows since August 14. This is also just above the dynamic inflection points of the moving averages.
In terms of moving averages, the 100 SMA is above the 200 long-term SMA to indicate that the path of least resistance is on the upside. In other words, the upward trend is more likely to resume rather than reverse.
However, RSI is already pointing to overbought conditions and may be due to a lower turnaround to signal a return in selling pressure. Stochastics has not yet reached the overbought territory but it also seems ready to head south, so bitcoin could follow the example.
The highest pop today is focused on the anticipation of the SEC sentence on the bitcoin ProShares Question of the ETF of August 23rd. Unlike the other questions set aside until the end of September, the regulatory authority can no longer extend the deadline on this as it was filed in December of last year.
The approval could bring even more earnings for bitcoins and its peers as this could create the expectation of a similar decision in other applications. This could also mean more liquidity and more activity for bitcoin operations. Denial, on the other hand, could force Bitcoin to return its recent victories.
Risk sentiment is also a general factor to keep an eye on, as there has been a lot to do in terms of commercial talks and geopolitical risks. Turkey seems to have taken the back seat for now and the central bank's commitment to action seems to have sparked a little calm.

Celebrating your TEAM as well as your CUSTOMERS are important follow-ups!
If there is a chance to CELEBRATE, then take it!
We often talk about how to follow-up with clients on Fiitfu, and one of the best and most natural reasons to follow-up with a client (or a consultant) is on their Birthday! This quick blog is about how to use Fiitfu to track not only Birthdays, but as well RENEWAL dates for your VIP programs, or your Team Members Memberships, Anniversaries, First Orders, Kids Birthdays, Clean Bill of Health Anniversary and more!
So lets start with Birthdays and Renewal dates. When you know a clients birthday, or a renewal date for your memberships, you can add them directly into Fiitfu when you add a new client. You can also click on the "wrench" on the green box in their profile to update this information.
When you utilize these two areas, you will be able to pull reports each month. What a great way to communicate with your team, and your customers based on Birthdays. Here is an older blog on our on creating a "Birthday Club" to stay connected.
Now lets talk about other annual reminders. Simply head to your clients profile, and click on REMINDERS. Here you can add any annual reminder you like. Be sure to add the year of the original occasion (like we did here for Julia's work anniversary) so that you know exactly how long someone has been with you.
Got Married on this date in 2002!
I think you get the idea! Now get out there and CELEBRATE!!!

Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) recently released a discussion draft of proposed legislation to reform the cost recovery provisions of the federal tax code. This draft would repeal the current depreciation system, referred to as Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, and replace it with a new system that pools assets into separate categories. The draft also instructs the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to analyze the economic depreciation rates of tangible assets and authorizes the U.S. Department of Treasury to review CBO's findings to determine whether assets should be reassigned depreciation schedules or whether new ones should be created.
Under the Baucus proposal, the changes in these depreciation schedules would generate nearly $700 million in revenue for the government during the next decade. This would be used to offset cutting the 35 percent corporate income tax rate. Unfortunately, Baucus' proposal cuts tax rates for only C-corporations but not for pass-through businesses that pay income taxes at the individual rate.
The Rosemont, Ill.-based National Roofing Contractors Association supports comprehensive tax reform that boosts economic growth by substantially lowering individual and corporate tax rates. Roughly 75 percent of its members are S-corporations, limited liability companies and other pass-through entities. Cutting taxes for entrepreneurs that file at the individual rates and as large corporations is essential for the roofing industry. NRCA is disappointed Baucus' discussion draft does not include reductions in individual income tax rates.
In addition, NRCA supports reforming the depreciation schedule for commercial roof systems. The current 39-year depreciation schedule is an obstacle to economic growth and more than double the average life cycle of a commercial roof system, which is 17 years. Baucus has proposed extending the depreciation schedule for real property, including commercial roof systems, to 43 years, which does nothing to remove the incentive for building owners to forego a full retrofit to a failing roof in favor of making only piecemeal repairs. In addition, extending the depreciation schedule will further complicate business owners' tax decisions; do nothing to promote economic growth; and fail to advance greater energy efficiency within the commercial building sector. Baucus has stated the goal of this proposed legislation is to "establish a system of cost recovery that better approximates the decline in the economic value of an asset." However, 43 years to depreciate a commercial roof system does not accurately represent its economic value.
NRCA is pleased to see Baucus included higher Section 179 expensing limits in his discussion draft, which would permanently increase the expensing limits to $1 million and be indexed for inflation.
Baucus has requested comments regarding the discussion draft be submitted by Jan. 17, 2014. NRCA will submit its comments to the tax code in a comprehensive manner. The association remains committed to working with lawmakers to pass progrowth tax policies that benefit the roofing industry and the economy.
