I should be reading the Iliad right now.
I thought there'd be more to it than that, y'know, emotionally speaking or something. Some kind of revelation that Yes, This Is What I Am Doing!, or even a Yes, I Have Finally Found A Place To Be Myself And Grow As A Person!. But, no. I was pretty much already doing what it was that I want to be doing and being a person anyway. So really, no major life changes there. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough?
Oh, except linguistics. Linguistics is great. And I will fess up to missing physics a little, especially when all my friends are doing it. Actually, that opens up a whole other can of worms. You see, it didn't matter when we were just joking around about me being the only one doing arts (or indeed, not- engineering) in my social group at school. However, when it comes to me actually being the only one doing arts in my social group at university, things get rather more problematic.
As shown by this highly scientific diagram.
Frexample, I have (well, had) nobody to sit next to in my first lecture on my first day (not strictly true, since it was French and I did happen to know quite a few of them from various French things, but in theory, the point stands). And it makes meeting up after a lecture from something which would just happen because you were walking the same way, into something which involves a string of phone calls, texts, and even IMs the night before. I dread seeing my phone bill at the end of the month. I spent several free hours in my first week just aimlessly wandering around feeling a bit dejected until I figured out that I'd actually need to put some effort in to either a) meeting new friends or 2) meeting old friends, and that it wasn't just going to happen naturally that we all turn up at lunchtime in the same spot every time like high school.
There is a solution to this, which I really only figured out the other day when I accidentally went to the Unigames fresher welcome. This is why clubs exist, and why there seem to be so goddamn many of them. Instead of a social group being "those guys who hang around under the umbrella in the courtyard", it turns into The Science Fiction Club, or more generally, the apparent nerdvana consisting of the sf, computer, tabletop gaming and anime clubs above the Tavern. You don't get to see everybody you know, but you will see somebody you know. Whoever though of clubs was one smart cookie.
Speaking of lectures: Laptops in lectures? Really annoying. I've already complained about this to everyone I've talked to, but I'm going to do it again here. People need to figure out how to type without bashing the everloving crap out out of their keyboards.
Walking past a friend from highschool: Awesome. Walking past a vague acquaintance from highschool: Not really a problem. Walking past someone you didn't really like in highschool (not that I had many of those): Kinda awkward. But walking past a primary school friend form aeons ago? Apparently, so awkward for both of us that we pretend not to have made eye contact and look the other way. I should really go up to that guy, now that I mention it. Given that he's in 3 of my units, it's possible we still share some interests. So that's it. University. It is a thing. I am there. And stuff is going pretty good.
When the hell was the unigames welcome?

The party awoke rested and in much better shape and quickly sought to find Floon. After meeting with Volo and Renaer the party came to believe that Floon was likely mistaken for Renaer when the two were separated. Just to the party Renaer stated he suspected he was targeted because of many believe his father had collected a huge stash of gold during his time as the Open Lord of Waterdeep. That stash has never been found but rumors had started that an artifact called the Stone of Golorr would be able to lead someone to the cache. Renaer knows nothing of the Stone, other than he had heard that the Xanathar's had gotten their hands on it recently, but had someone how managed to lose it. Renaer admits to knowing nothing more than that, as he hasn't spoken to his father in years and would like to keep it that way.
The party headed back towards the warehouse from the night before and noticed they were being watched. Quickly giving chase one of the two watching them managed to slip away, but the other was eventually caught and restrained. Hoping to avoid any further difficulties with the City Watch the party quickly hid in the sewers and managed to stumble upon of of the yellow Xanathar markings.
Following the markings the party founds themselves breaking into what was likely a Xanathar safehouse. As they snuck through the safehouse the party found themselves confronted with a pair of goblins, a dark dwarf, and the instigator of the fight at the bar the night before. The party had interrupted the group as they were attempting to barricade the northern door but it quickly came to violence as the two groups clashed. The party quickly dealt with the goblins but the dark dwarf having gone invisible quickly reappeared giant sized and managed to leave some lasting wounds upon the party.
Curious why the door was being barricaded the party investigated the door after a brief rest. Upon opening the door the party found a the fresh remains of goblins floating in a greyish ooze seeping out of the cistern . The ooze quickly attached but the party managed to fend it off, but not before it drained more of the party's limited healing ability.
Moving on the party sent Vaea ahead to scout while the others barricade the room they were in to recover their energy. Vaea reported back that she saw a man matching Floon's description being tortured in the next room by some half-orc using a magical flame. In addition a nightmarish creature in the back with rubbery purple skin and tentacles for a mouth sat petting what appeared to be a brain with legs observing the half-orc's work.
Knowing they were in no shape to deal with the creatures the party resolved to take the time they needed, before storming into what would surely be a deadly encounter. Once ready the party moved ahead cautiously, only to discover the creatures had left, leaving the charred corpse of Floon. Gathering his remains the party exited through a secret passage that led into the home of a halfling family's basement.
The party took the corpse to the temple Helm nearby and returned to Volo with the ill news. Volo clearly upset, offered the party an alternative to the reward he had originally promised. Confessing he was short of liquid assets, he agreed to part with a piece of property, Trollskull Manor, he was hoping to use as a reference to his next book in place of part of the coin reward. The party accepted, not sure what to expect but too tired and disheartened to much care.

An Ode to Spider-man
Matt Wright in Comics September 4, 2018 December 29, 2018 803 Words
Insomniac's Spider-man game releases on Friday, and I am very much feeling the hype. So, in honor of everyone's friendly neighborhood web-slinger, this week's post is an ode to Spider-man.
Spider-man was the first character that I loved. I discovered him as a kid when I was dealing with my own sense of identity. He was nerdy, but funny, shy in his personal life, but also a hero in a colorful costume. His conflicts went beyond super villains, and into the mundane. Doing the right thing was hard for Spider-man, not because the moral decision was tough, but because putting on the mask and fighting crime often meant sacrificing something that Pete Parker wanted.
I was bad at time management and expectations as kid. I loved reading and writing and was generally considered a 'know-it-all', but I only had okay grades. I would read other subjects in classes that didn't interest me. Even in the ones that I did like I turned in assignments late or not all. The year I graduated high school the history department didn't give out an overall achievement award like the other departments. One of my history teachers pulled me aside after the awards to tell me that the history teachers all agreed I showed the most interest and knowledge in the subject, but they couldn't give me the award because of my grades.
Suffice to say I got a lot of 'wasting potential' speeches just like Peter Parker. I felt deeply ashamed after every one. I didn't have the excuse of great power or great responsibility but seeing a character that I knew was smart and heroic get the same lectures and have the same reaction was powerfully relatable. It gave me hope, maybe I wasn't a dumb loser, maybe there could be something special about me too, maybe I was more than my disappointments.
And Spider-man knows about disappointment. The character has always been made great by his defeats. Running off to stop the Green Goblin means leaving Mary-Jane alone at the dance. Throwing away his costume to win her back means people die. Self-less or selfish Spider-man loses. It's super cathartic to read a spider-man story when you're feeling down. Pete Parker suffers unlike any super hero out there. Yes, he deals with melodramatic trauma, but he also has normal sucky things happen to him like losing his job or disappointing the woman who raised him.
One of the best examples of this is Amazing Spider-man 617. The story is actually focused on the Rhino, meant to reinvent the character from one-note villain to real person and it delivers (seriously, it's one of my favorite single issues ever, nearly ten years later and the story is still with me). In the issue, absolutely everything goes wrong for Spider-man. He's not able to keep his promise to the Rhino, he's not able to protect anyone. He does everything he can, and he still fails, people die. The story ends with Peter Parker in the unemployment line. It's grim.
And yet despite this constant barrage of failure and depressing situations Peter Parker is one of the most upbeat super heroes around. He doesn't brood. He copes with humor, he's hopeful. Unlike Batman who faced similar trauma and obsesses over it, Spider-man focuses on what he still has, not what he lost.
Part of that has to do with his origins. Spider-man is older than Batman when Uncle Ben dies, a teenager rather than a child. He also feels complicit. Guilt motivates him at first rather than vengeance, but it's more than that. Peter didn't lose everyone, he still has Aunt May.
Now if written (or drawn) poorly Aunt May comes across as an embarrassingly anachronistic grandmother, or a plot device to pile on guilt and conflict. If done well she's Peter's family; someone who he wants to make proud and who loves him. Aunt May humanize Spider-man, her being there doesn't let him brood over his loss. She lost just as much, they help each other cope, they have to be strong for each other.
Failure and family are what makes Spider-man unique amongst super heroes. People don't love him because he got bit by a radioactive spider, but because he's us. He's balancing a thousand different obligations, needs and responsibilities. He's trying to make it in a tough city, find love and stay close with family. He does his best, he fails, he jokes about it and he keeps trying. He's imperfect, but there's something special about him, something others only get a glimpse of. And when we need him, when we really, really need him. He'll be there.

Q: Python 3: Read input until -1 is input In Python, I would like to read integers until -1 is input.
Example input:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, -1 # (Commas indicate new entries)

Desired effect:
nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10]

Additional note:
Could you do this concisely with list comprehension?

A: I'm assuming that the example input will be a single string and comma delimited.
nums = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,6,7,8,20,25,30,40,55,60,-1"
nums = nums[:nums.index(",-1")].split(",")
nums = [int(x) for x in nums]

This will find the index of the "-1" element and cut off the result. Then list comprehension to cast all the strings to ints, this part is optional if you're okay with storing it as strings.

A: You can use a while loop.
Ex:
inVal = input("Enter Num: ")

res = []
while int(inVal) != -1:    #Break loop if user enters -1
    res.append(inVal)
    inVal = input("Enter Num: ")
print(res)                 #Print user entered numbers

A: Assuming you have comma separated values you could do something in the lines of:
from itertools import takewhile

s = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,6,7,8,20,25,30,40,55,60,-1'

g = takewhile(lambda x: x != '-1', s.split(',')) #generator

list(map(int,g)) # convert str to in

A: Try this code. What I did here is, I created an empty list and kept appending values to it unless the input was -1. Hope this will help you
choice = int(input("Enter Numbers: "))
nums = []

while choice!= -1:
 nums.append(choice)
 choice = int(input("Enter Numbers: "))

print(nums)

Free agency misses leaves Dodgers fans understandably frustrated + links to Lindor & Clevinger and … MadBum
Chad Moriyama 12/14/2019	Rumors Leave A Comment
(Photo: Kirby Lee)
So the Dodgers have missed out on the big fish in free agency yet again, and frustrations have been boiling over within the fandom. Yet at the end of the day, the Dodgers are well positioned for the present and future. After all, they won 106 games last year and figure to return a similar roster. Thus, on some level it's understandable that a minority of fans effectively tell people who are displeased with the lack of free agent spending to stop complaining.
Counterpoint: No.
The frustration makes a lot of sense for reasons I tweeted about but should've just written in an article like this. Whoops.
Reasonable fans have been accused of overreaction to this off-season but I honestly feel like we've been rather consistent. Dodgers initially spent big in order to try and win while they built the infrastructure for sustainable success.
— Chad Moriyama (@ChadMoriyama) December 13, 2019
We defended the team getting to that point because winning the division consistently is the best path to postseason success. They have been undoubtedly wildly successful in laying that foundation, and deserve credit (and have received it) for doing so.

Now they've gotten to the point they wanted to before ostensibly taking the next step, a place where they can essentially not sign anybody and still be division favorites.
Andrew Friedman: "If you're always rational about every free agent, you will finish third on every free agent."
— Andy McCullough (@ByMcCullough) December 6, 2016
They have money to spend on impact talent that could push them over the top at minimal cost to sustainability and only hitting profits. They haven't done that yet, so people are upset that everything clicking has effectively built towards … achieving record profits.
Every MLB team is worth at least $1 billion for the first time per @Forbes. Here are the most profitable teams by operating income:
1. Dodgers $95M
2. Phillies $94M
3. Cubs $87M
4. Giants/Red Sox $84M
6. White Sox $76Mhttps://t.co/nwueMtdTgQ pic.twitter.com/Rn1VH29zk6

To an extent that's expected from ownership, but not sure what that reality has to do with whether it's justified for fans to put the screws to ownership over it. Sorry for the annoying thread, but had to get that off my chest.
Of course, all of this could change at just about any point.
Absolutely. They could turn it around at any moment and I'd be thrilled. It's just that fans have been waiting for a minute. https://t.co/jwADDN6Inq
But it hasn't yet, and so the backlash is anything but irrational to me.
Anyway, onto the rumors.
Whether we like it or not, the interest of the Dodgers in Madison Bumgarner continues to be confirmed as real, this time from Alex Pavlovic.
There is mutual interest between Madison Bumgarner and the Dodgers, sources told NBC Sports Bay Area this week, and the Dodgers met with Bumgarner's representatives at the MLB Winter Meetings. It's unclear if the Dodgers will satisfy the Giants ace's salary desires, but Bumgarner and Hyun-Jin Ryu are the top options left on the pitching market after a shockingly active week in San Diego, and LA would like to add to its rotation. The Dodgers struck out on Gerrit Cole and Anthony Rendon on back-to-back days, and quickly pivoted to Bumgarner, as Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic first reported. While the Dodgers have seen Bumgarner's numbers dip in recent years, they still view him as a durable starter, someone who is young enough to be a contributor for years to come and can give them an innings-eater alongside Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw. And yes, they're well aware of what a blow such a move would be to the fan base of their main rivals. Giants officials downplayed those concerns this week, repeatedly noting that they will build back up the right way and not be swayed by emotion. There was some skepticism about the Dodgers' true intentions, but sources say the interest is real, and that could put the Giants in a tough spot. They met with Bumgarner's representation on Tuesday, and Zaidi said the next day that he remained engaged in conversations with the franchise's longtime ace. The price has gone higher than expected, and that's ultimately one of the main reasons Bumgarner might not end up with the Dodgers. But he also said repeatedly late in the year that his main priority as a free agent was finding a spot where he could win, and not many teams can offer a better shot at that than the one in LA.
Amusingly, after all the concern about the Dodgers not spending, the only thing that might prevent the Dodgers and MadBum from becoming a thing is the team's frugal nature in free agency.
MadBum's 2019 comparables by DRA-. Whichever team signs him is probably hoping he's better than his last three years of peripherals. I assume the optimism is that he's getting further away from the shoulder injury. pic.twitter.com/8vFTbhrpws
Fan reasons aside, and there is justification for not liking this purely due to fan reasons, I simply don't feel one can reasonably expect him to justify the contract he's rumored to be getting when one can't logically project him as anything better than like a Kenta Maeda with an inning a start more.
As mentioned, one of the alternatives is Ryu, who didn't really sound too convinced the Dodgers wanted him back, according to Yonhap News.
South Korean free agent pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin said Wednesday there's no truth to a U.S. news report that claimed he would prefer to stay on the West Coast, adding that geography won't affect his decision in the market.
As for reports that the Dodgers are interested in bringing him back, Ryu said, "If the Dodgers wanted to re-sign me, they would have told my agent. I haven't heard from him yet, and honestly, I don't have much to tell you right now."
Honestly, letting him walk sounds like a very Dodgers thing to do. They are basically assuming somebody else will pay for his career year, which isn't necessarily unreasonable, though Ryu definitely seems like the better bet compared to MadBum.
In less of a real option and more of a flier territory, Rich Hill is in talks with the Dodgers after undergoing his primary revision operation on his elbow that will see him out until June.
The surgery will sideline Hill until June. He has circled Jan. 20 on his calendar as the day he will begin a throwing program. He said he has engaged with multiple teams, including the Dodgers and the Red Sox, in hopes of hooking up with a club for spring training.
As I've said before, Hill makes all the sense in the world for the Dodgers. Worst-case scenario he never recovers and the Dodgers waste a few million or whatever on a one-year deal and he just ends up serving a role as clubhouse dad. Best-case scenario he's as effective as usual and either is a rotation, swingman, or relief weapon in the playoffs. The risk for a team like the Dodgers who likely do not need him at all to make the playoffs makes the signing is minimal.
Somewhat surprisingly, the Dodgers don't seem in on Josh Donaldson that hard either.
"To me it comes down to the Braves and Nationals."@Ken_Rosenthal with the latest on Josh Donaldson. #MLBNHotStove pic.twitter.com/mfdVe0aBKv
To be fair, with Donaldson it's understandable to question just how much of an upgrade he would be.
In somewhat random trade news, the Astros are interested in Austin Barnes.
The Houston Astros have inquired about Austin Barnes, per source. They're looking for catchers with Robinson Chirinos and Martin Maldonado hitting free agency. Barnes has struggled at the plate the last two years, but the Astros are high on his framing.
No reason for the Dodgers to do this. Yeah, Keibert Ruiz is in waiting but he's more of a potential regular than a backup and Barnes seems like an ideal reserve. His bat comes and goes but his receiving his elite and he has familiarity with the staff.
Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the big trade rumor from Ken Rosenthal, which involves a potential deal with the Indians.
Meanwhile, the Indians appear more likely to hang onto Lindor this winter, in a climate in which the Dodgers seem unwilling to deal away rising star Gavin Lux, even for Lindor. The Dodgers believe Lux could be as good as Lindor, and offers four more years of affordable control. Nevertheless, the Dodgers have enough good young players lined up behind Lux to build a package for Lindor at some point. And a Lindor deal could allow them to move Corey Seager to first base or trade him to fill other holes. So this isn't one of those move-on, nothing-to-see-here empty rumors. It's clearly one to keep pinned to the bulletin board.
Not much there yet, but there's some smoke rising.
"There have been different versions of the trade discussed that would include Lindor & not Corey Kluber but Mike Clevinger."
–@THEREAL_DV on Lindor to LAD trade
📺: @MLBNetwork | #Dodgers #MLB pic.twitter.com/lQqgp6FtGY
— Audel Del Toro (@AudelDelToro) December 12, 2019
This is probably the only kind of deal where I'd be okay with dealing away a bunch of top talent, as it nets them two elite players on the other side. The Dodgers would give up future value and likely stars, but get more proven players in return that they can attempt to retain long-term, which should give the farm enough time to churn out further talent.

Q: Can the natural numbers be uncountable? Definition of a countable set, from Stanford, as I didn't want to quote Wikipedia:

Definition. A set S is countable if |S| = |N|.
Thus a set S is countable if there is a one-to-one mapping of Num onto S, that is, if S is the range of an infinite one-to-one sequence.

So it seems that if we can define a set of numbers that does not map one-to-one to the natural numbers, then it is not a countable set. The natural numbers quite obviously map one-to-one to the natural numbers, so can they possibly be uncountable?
Let's say we have a list containing all of the natural numbers. Excerpt:

...
000099
000100
000101
000102
...

We can define a number that is different from each element in this list as follows: for the ith number in the list, the ith digit is one of the 8 (or 9) non-zero alternatives that make our new number different from the number on the list. For example:

...
00009 9
0001 0 0
000 1 01
00 0 102
...
12 3456

As we keep going, we will end up with a sequence of non-zero digits, which forms a valid Natural number, that is not on our list of all natural numbers, so our mapping of the natural numbers to the natural numbers breaks.
Does this make sense, or is there something I'm missing?

A: Your error is in the assertion:

... we will end up with a sequence of non-zero digits, which forms a valid Natural number...

Natural numbers have only finitely many nonzero digits in their decimal expansion. This can be proven by induction: it is true of $1$; and the number of nonzero digits in the decimal expansion of $n+1$ is at most one more than that of $n$ (you need at most one more digit before you start padding with $0$s on the left).
An infinite list which contains infinitely many nonzero digits does not yield a natural number. In fact, one can prove that your procedure will produce a sequence of digits with infinitely many nonzero digits, hence not correspond to a natural number.
Let's say that your procedure selects $0$ whenever possible (that is, whenever the $i$th digit, from right to left, of the $i$th natural number, is nonzero; you really want this, because if you insist, as in your post, that you always select a nonzero digit, then you guarantee what you get is not a natural number). Can the list be arranged in such a way that the $i$th digit of the $i$th number is nonzero for all $i\gt N$ for some $N$? No: for any given $N$, there are $10^{N-1}$ natural numbers that require fewer than $N$ digits to write; since there are only $N$ positions prior to $N$, at least one of these $10^{N-1}$ numbers must be listed in a position below $N$; but if it is listed in position $j\gt N$, then its $j$th digit will be $0$, so the constructed sequence will necessarily have a nonzero entry at $j\gt N$. Since this holds for all $N$, the list obtained is never eventually $0$, and so does not correspond to a natural number.

Now, if you want to extend your notion of numbers to include expressions with infinitely many nonzero digits, then your argument is correct: the set of all such "numbers" is not countable. However, those are not the natural numbers.


Strange… I can't get the phandles thing to appear, and I can't get this to appear either. I've cranked up the logging, and I'm going to see if I can't get someone to crash it with an "out of pseudo handles" with -d9. That might help some.


The lecture will be given in English. It will take place on Thursday, April 23rd 2009 at 6.30 p.m. at the DIJ.
April 23, 2009	/ 6.30 P.M.
This talk describes the challenges Japan confronts on energy and climate change as well as the reasons for Japan's comparatively weak, reactive stance towards these two intimately linked phenomena. Japan is generally regarded as a strong activist on the environmental and energy fronts, through conservation, global cooperation (e.g. the Kyoto Protocol), renewable energy, hybrid cars, and the like. For many, this progressive image makes intuitive sense: given Japan's high level of oil dependence, high exposure on the environmental front, and relative lack of extractive industries, one would expect Japan to be taking a leadership role in countering environmental and energy risks. Note also that energy is a USD 6 trillion market (10% of global GDP), affording ample opportunities for new growth sectors in the midst of the unfolding economic crisis. But in fact, Japan's efforts to leave the oil age are middling at best. The key problem here is institutional: an unwillingness to use the power of the public sector to shape market incentives. Hence this talk will explain the political economy of the gap between Japan's green image and its actual performance as well as the prospects for serious, sustainable "structural reform" and a Japanese "green new deal".
Andrew DeWit is Professor in the School of Economic Policy Studies at Rikkyo University, Tokyo. Local public finance, political economy and risk studies are among his many research and teaching interests. On these topics he has published widely in English and Japanese. His most recent book is a co-authored volume with Masaru Kaneko on the energy and environmental revolution (Asupekuto, July 2007).

The Senate has mandated its standing committees on Defence and Army, Police Affairs as well as National Security and Intelligence to undertake full scale investigations into the mass killings and destruction of houses in Baga town of Borno state. This followed a matter of urgent public importance raised by Senator Maina Ma'aji Lawan on the matter which he described as outrageous and intolerable.
On the killings in Baga, Senator Maina Ma'aji Lawan had told the Senate that about 200 lives were lost and over 2000 houses and other valuable properties destroyed. The lawmaker could not however say whether it was Multi-National forces, Joint Task Force of the insurgents that carried out the atrocities. Apart from condemning the dastardly act and observing a minute of silence honoring the innocent lives lost, the Senate promised to set to get to the root of the matter within 14 days.
The Senate received two letters of request from President Goodluck Jonathan. President Jonathan's letters read by Senate President David Mark are seeking confirmation of his nominees – Michael Ebong, Uwasomba Udochukwu, Emmanuel Ibitolo, Ismail Mohammed Aukku and Adeboji Olaoba-Efuntayo as members of the EFCC. Others are Fatima Kwaku and Olumuyiwa Akinboro as Members of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.
Another motion by Senator Atai Aidako Ali on the communal clash between Ochenwo and Odeke communities in Ibaja Kogi State and Enugu – Otu Aguleri Anambra State where 6 people died over oil resources was deferred. Senators from Kogi, Anambra and Enugu States have therefore been asked to confer among themselves and wade into the crises toward finding a lasting solution and if need be re present the motion jointly for consideration.
In the meantime, the report of the Conference Committee on the establishment of 10 Federal Universities in the Coutnry submitted by Senator Uche Chukumaije had been adopted. The Universities are: Dutsin-ma, Kashere, Lafia, Lokoja, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, Otroke, Oye-Ekiti, Dutse Wukari and Uyo.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- Thirteen years after the death of the man for whom it was named, the 11-story Sullivan Tower was imploded on Saturday (July 21) in Nashville.
But what continues are James L. Sullivan's monumental legacy as a lifelong Southern Baptist and more than 60 record boxes of his papers in the Southern Baptist Library and Historical Archives.
Sullivan was president of the Baptist Sunday School Board -- now LifeWay Christian Resources -- from 1953 until his retirement in 1975. The following year, he was elected president of the SBC and served a one-year term.
The first two floors of the Art Deco-style building were completed in 1940; nine more floors were added from 1950 to 1956 and later named for Sullivan. The former 14.5-acre LifeWay site is being developed into a hotel, office buildings, restaurants, retail and entertainment venues. After selling the property, LifeWay relocated to a new facility, also in downtown Nashville.
Thirteen years after the death of the man for whom it was named, the 11-story Sullivan Tower was imploded on Saturday (July 21) in Nashville.
Screen capture from video by Wayne Mann.
Sullivan was "one of the truly great leaders in our convention." said Jimmy Draper, who led LifeWay from 1991 until his 2006 retirement.
The SBC's strength is "not only because of our devotion to the Scripture as the inerrant Word of God, but also because of spiritual giants who literally saturate the years since 1845 when the SBC was born," said Draper, also a former SBC president from 1982-1984 and current ambassador for the SBC Executive Committee during its search for a new president.
Draper recounted in extensive comments drafted for today's Baptist Press story, "When I came to be president of the Baptist Sunday School Board [which changed its name to LifeWay in the late 1990s], I had no better encourager or friend than James Sullivan. One of the great privileges for me was to have frequent visits with him over the 15 years I was there.
The former 14.5-acre LifeWay site is being developed into a hotel, office buildings, restaurants, retail and entertainment venues.
"Solid in his theology with a memory that was remarkable, he always brought words of support and counsel. … He always had a story of something that had happened in his lifetime. I told him one day, 'Dr. Sullivan, you either have the greatest memory I have ever seen or you have outlived anyone who could challenge what you say.' With a smile he said, 'Well, it is probably a little of both!'"
Draper acknowledged that he and Sullivan "differed on the need for the conservative resurgence" in the SBC's stance on Scripture, "but it was never a point of contention or hostility."
"He believed that the culture of our SBC was like a football field. There were extremes in both end zones, but the majority of our convention was between the goal lines. … I felt strongly that we had drifted to the left toward liberalism and to a low view of Scripture. Although we differed, he was unwavering in his support for me and in his friendship was always strong."
The Sunday School Board was one of the primary causes of an extraordinary doctrinal controversy that erupted in 1961 with its publication of a book under the Broadman Press imprint, "The Message of Genesis" by Ralph Elliott, an Old Testament professor at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Sullivan never became an ongoing lightning rod in the controversy though Elliott and his book were fiercely criticized by conservative pastors for discounting various historical elements of the Old Testament, such as Adam and Eve as real people and the global breadth of the flood.
Jerry Sutton, in his book on the SBC's history, "The Baptist Reformation," called it the "first modern crisis over Scripture among Southern Baptists." A measure of resolution came through the convention's adoption of the 1963 Baptist Faith and Message, though conservatives' concerns continued and found traction in a multi-year movement that began with the election of Memphis pastor Adrian Rogers as SBC president in 1979.
Sullivan described Southern Baptists' way of doing things -- from local congregations and Baptist associations to the state and national conventions supported by churches' gifts through the Cooperative Program -- in his classic book, "Baptist Polity As I See It," initially published in 1983 and expanded in a 1988 edition.
"Those of us in our 90s can remember what it was like before we had a Cooperative Program," Sullivan, at age 91, told the SBC annual meeting in New Orleans in 2001.
After being baptized at age 11 into Tylertown (Miss.) Baptist Church, Sullivan said he received a box of offering envelopes divided into two sections -- one for the church and one for various Baptist causes. He recalled trying to figure out how to divide in half his tithe of a nickel.
"It was a wonderful day when our pastor and people came back from the  Southern Baptist Convention to report we had the Cooperative Program," Sullivan said. "We would tithe one offering and then the church would decide how it would give." He said Tylertown Baptist Church voted to send 40 percent of its undesignated receipts to the Cooperative Program.
"When we put a dollar into the offering plate, it touches the world," he said.
-- "a remarkable businessman [leading] a huge business. It is the largest distributor of Christian materials in the world that has always lived on the funds that it produced from its materials. … It has never received Cooperative Program funds. It has been a strong supporter of all SBC activities and never more unselfishly than under James Sullivan.
-- "a believer in Baptist state conventions, and it was his leadership that brought strong cooperative agreements with the states," Draper said. "He felt that if the BSSB helped the state conventions, they would be champions of Sunday School ministry in their states. I found that to be true during my presidency and, with his counsel, I had strong relationships with the state executive directors who lead those state conventions."
-- a committed churchman. "He told me shortly after I came to the Baptist Sunday School Board something every Baptist needs to realize. He said, 'When you left the pastorate of a local Baptist church to become president of BSSB, you took a step down.' He believed that the local church was truly Baptist headquarters." Both Sullivan and Draper served churches in several states before assuming their SBC leadership posts.
And he had a down-to-earth graciousness, said Linda Lawson Still, who retired in 2002 as LifeWay's director of communications after 31 years with the entity, earlier serving as editor of Facts and Trends magazine for church staff, two magazines for teens and assistant editor of Home Life magazine.
"A lingering memory I have of James L. Sullivan is observing him eating lunch in the cafeteria while conversing with coworkers," Still said in email comments to Baptist Press. "He didn't look around for senior staff members to sit with. He seemed as comfortable talking with employees from editing components, maintenance or distribution as with leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention. Without fail, he treated each of us with kindness and respect. He loved to tell stories and never minded laughing at himself."
Still told of once enlisting a high school senior from the Nashville area to interview Sullivan for an article in connection with his approaching retirement in 1975.
The student "arrived in my office determined but terrified of asking questions of the president of the Sunday School Board," Still said. "I accompanied her to Dr. Sullivan's seventh-floor office. He came out from behind his desk to greet her. After they sat down, he began asking her questions out of a genuine interest in his guest. I could see her visibly relaxing. The outcome of that meeting was an excellent article written from a teen's perspective for Christian teenagers portraying a true Christian gentleman."
Draper recounted that the last visit he had with Sullivan was in the hospital shortly before he died. "He was discussing his funeral with his daughter Beth. He told me in that visit, 'You reach a place in life where death is your friend.' He lived courageously, as his stand supporting the 1953 Supreme Court decision for desegregation caused him to be so harassed for that stand that he received many death threats. He had to move his family out of Nashville to a suburban area in order to get better security.
"I don't think most folks in our convention ever realized what a true champion of biblical values and principles he was, even if it was controversial," Draper said. "He stood strong as a Southern Baptist leader, and he died with complete confidence in the Lord he loved and served so faithfully."

Can you rent a movie with iTunes and take it on an overseas trip and watch it? I notice that it disappears after 24 hours once you begin to watch it. So, if I download it here and start watching it say on the plane or when I'm overseas, how will that work? Thanks.
It's just got a 24-hour time bomb built in. It'll just delete itself.
I think it will still be 24 hours. It won't matter when your device resets it's time to another country's dateline.
Thanks. Looking forward to air Canada's outlets in the seats.
an aside, but if you're flying AC you probably know they have in free flight video system. you can look up what movies are playing before your flight to check you're not renting an iTunes movie they'll already have on the plane.
Thanks. I have to wait till August!
