(SUN-SENTINEL) — Lauren Book learned at a young age the pain and perils of blindly trusting adults.
So, in the hopes of sparing children the horror she experienced at the hands of the family nanny, the Plantation sex abuse survivor has created Florida's first-ever, school-based prevention curriculum for kindergartners. Now, she is committed to getting it taught in as many schools as possible.
Book regularly visits elementary schools around the state to teach the program to kindergartners — and is planning a March 6 visit to Wilton Manors Elementary, where the "Safer, Smarter Kids" curriculum has been part of the lesson plans since January.

Florida Man has done a lot of ridiculous things, but his destructive lifestyle may have finally taken him one step too far beyond the bounds of good taste, for he has besmirched the reputation of an innocent bear.
On Thursday, a man from Lake County, Fla., reported that he was attacked by a bear outside of his mobile home, but was able to fight the beast off after being dragged into the street. Here's how the "attack" was originally described to reporters:
Josh Hennessy, 36, was sitting in a folding chair under an awning outside his father's mobile home sometime before 9:30 p.m. when he heard rustling in the bushes. He walked around the corner and the bear attacked, dragging him to the street, said his wife, Courtney Allstead-Hennessy, 33.
"I guess he startled it," she said.
Hennessy had bite marks on his side and road rash from rolling on the pavement while trying to fight off the animal, his wife said.
Well, guess what? That story was bullshit! An investigation by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission revealed that no bear attack actually occurred, and that all of Hennessy's injuries were the result of him falling down like a dummy while trying to chase the bear, which was apparently minding its own business. And one of his neighbors knew the story was bullshit all along.
From the Orlando Sentinel:
"It's bull. It's phony. It's fake," said Phillip Sulatycki, 36, who lives on the street behind Hennessy. "Anybody who has lived here in this park as long as I have, which is 15 years, knows the bears don't attack nobody. You drive up by them, they run. I literally come out my door at 1:30 in the moring to get in my car to go to work and, if the bear's sitting there, he's just looking at you. If he does anything, he just grunts."
How dare you, Florida Man. How dare you use an innocent bear as a means for disguising your clumsiness in a cloak of false valor. The bear is a proud animal that deserves to be treated with respect. You are shameful, and will never be worthy of facing him in true combat.

Official Group
In 2013, the Technology Strategy Board and RSSB announced investment of up to £5m in collaborative R&D for the Enabling the Digital Railway competition, designed to encourage the use of innovative digital, ICT and satellite application technologies, to address challenges faced by leading rail organisations. In the event, when announced last Autumn more than £8.5m of funding was awarded for 11 collaborative R&D projects.
The projects were due to start in early 2014. A number of the participants are starting to provide updates via their websites and the press.
High speed railway asset mapping system using enhanced 3D imaging and automated visual analytics
The participants in the High speed railway asset mapping system using enhanced 3D imaging and automated visual analytics £1,606,620 budgeted project are Guidance Navigation Limited (lead), a Leicester based positioning technology business; Rail Vision Europe Limited, Castle Donington, Leicestershire, based specialist in developing advanced image analysis and information management solutions for the rail industry;
Oxford Mobile Robotics Group, based at Begbroke Park and known for its RobotCar UK experimental autonomous vehicle research and Network Rail Limited.
The project received £1,120,291 of funding to advance the surveying of railway networks through the development of a novel device capable of high-speed asset monitoring and automated asset identification. It aims to support the work of Network Rail and their sub-contractors who require detailed asset maps of the rail infrastructure.
The project builds on patented IP from Oxford University Mobile Robotics Group. The combination of laser scanning and HD camera hardware and satellite navigation systems are to be used to create a 3D topometric asset map of the rail network, automatically analysed with visual analytics techniques. Trial units will be developed and outputs displayed.
According to Rail Vision, detection of assets on rail tracks is usually carried out manually, and laser based surveys on three dimensional information are expensive and do not provide information on asset identity.
This project hopes to develop a data capture and analysis system that provides information on asset identity, location and its three dimensional information for a range of review purposes to assist maintenance and planning of works. The project will also develop desktop software for review of such data with the ability to make measurements and generate planning reports. The system is expected to be available in 2016.
MultiPass - an integrated multi-interface platform for smart ticketing to provide seamless multi-modal travel and increased revenue collection
The participants of the £1,761,431 budgeted MultiPass project are Tedipay (UK) Limited (lead); ECEBS LIMITED , an East Kilbride-based Smart card technology company; GuestLogix Europe Limited, a Canadian POS and mobile solutions company with a UK office in Bracknell; General Information Systems ltd, a Cambridge-based specialist in Smartcard based products for contact and contactless General Information Systems; Imperial College London and Global Travel Ventures Limited (based in Cheshire).
The MultiPass project is an 18-month, collaborative project, designed to implement a integrated, low-cost multi-protocol smart ticketing and digital 'uber-wallet' platform.
Supported by £1,086,325 of funding, MultiPass aims to provide seamless multi-modal travel for passengers and tourists, together with reduced costs and increased revenue collection for transit operators. MultPass will integrate several existing technologies (including ITSO, EMV, NFC, cloud TVM and BLE) into a single end-to-end platform, which will comprise low-cost, easy and cheap to install, station-based hubs, cloud-based server/services and passenger-carried smart cards.
Rail operators (Abellio & Strathclyde Partnership for Transport) will provide access to field trials, stations and end-users and in market advisory roles. Consult Hyperion are engaged as supervisory project managers.
On 19 June 2014 GuestLogix announces a collaboration agreement with the UK's Technology Strategy Board for the Development of a MultiPass Ticketing , publicly announcing its participation in the MultiPass consortium.
The MultiPass consortium aims to develop a disruptive ticketing platform enabling multimodal "Pay As You Go" travel across the country using a single pass.
GuestLogix will leverage and configure its retail platform, Transaction Processing Engine® (TPE®), Global Payment Gateway™ and GuestPass™ ticketing solutions to work within the MultiPass environment.
"It is with great pleasure that we participate in the development of a multimodal platform and ticketing solution that could very well transform passenger travel across both the UK and the rest of the world," said GuestLogix President & CEO, Brett Proud. "We are enthusiastic about the positive impact this project rollout will have on passenger travel, and believe that the UK will set a leading example for other countries across the globe."
GuestLogix said a full rollout of a MultiPass solution is anticipated for 2015, pending the success of the pilot programs.
"This is a very exciting project that could drastically alter the way passengers experience travel across the UK, and we are thrilled to be a part of this collaboration," said Thomas Drohan, SVP & GM, Global Rail Division, GuestLogix. "With a MultiPass environment in place, travelers will benefit from ease of travel, cost savings and increased efficiency, with no more queuing at ticket counters. Whether a trip involves rail, bus, subway or a combination of the above, the travel journey will become much less stressful and complex."
The company said the as UK's rail, bus and subway operators carry over 8 billion passengers per annum, they present a substantial opportunity for GuestLogix to gain market share in the region.
The MultiPassproject was also featured in The Guardian, Saturday 16 November 2013 Sci-fi inspired MultiPass lands on earth - suggested the futuristic all-in-one travel pass that you could use on trains, buses, the tube and even to catch flights, all at the lowest possible price, is the stuff of sci-fi, and tat it will move a step closer to reality when MultiPass is trialled in London and Glasgow next year.
The feature highlights the fact that the project takes its name from a fictional bit of kit featured in the 1997 science fiction movie The Fifth Element starring Bruce Willis.
"In The Fifth Element, directed by Luc Besson and mainly set in the 23rd century, the MultiPass appears to be a hi-tech ID card that is used, among other things, for space travel – in one of the most quoted scenes, a young woman known as Leeloo, played by Milla Jovovich, flashes her pass as she attempts to board a spaceship. The real-life version would be a single nationwide combined ticket and travelcard with an "e-ink" screen similar to those on many e-readers."
The report states that the consortium plans to run two pilot schemes during the middle of next year – one involving journeys into London, the other in and around Glasgow – ahead of what they hope will be a full rollout in 2015.
The report quotes Jeremy Acklam of London-based company MultiPass, which is leading the consortium, "Because we are managing all these different tickets 'up in the cloud', we can pretty much guarantee to get you the best price. That's the big attraction," he says, adding that one of the reasons for the pilots was to determine customer reaction – "how they like to use it, which bits they find useful". Several hundred people will be recruited for the pilots, some of them existing season ticket holders.
A People Centred Approach to Intelligent, Proactive, Predictive (PCIPP) asset management using Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) data
Participants in the £1,544,975 budgeted A People Centred Approach to Intelligent, Proactive, Predictive (PCIPP) asset management using Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) data project are Thales Research & Technology (UK) Limited (lead) the Reading based research, develop, manufacture and supply technology and services company to the UK's Aerospace, Defence, Security and Transportation sector; Thales Transport and Security Limited; Smart Component Technologies Limited of Huddersfield; Universal Pipe Enterprises Limited t/a Humaware; University of Nottingham; the University of Birmingham School of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering; and Chrome Angel Solutions Limited (a Newcastle upon Tyne based technology solutions provider to the Rail and Provided with a project grant of £1,061,044, The PCIPP (A People Centred Approach to Intelligent, Proactive, Predictive asset management) will develop a solution for intelligent asset management that is claimed with go beyond conventional Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) and existing systems.
PCIPP is designed to eliminate the need for asset managers to maintain multiple vertically integrated RCM systems, reduce user training needs by providing a common interface for all assets and unlock the potential of true intelligence by fusing and correlating data across multiple assets and legacy systems to create actionable, prognostic information.
PCIPP builds on Thales's solution it provides to Network Rail in their Intelligent Infrastructure programme, which monitors over 22,000 assets and has removed the need for 15,000 site visits since it went live in 2009.
PCIPP is structured around a human-centric design process so that operators have access to relevant information. PCIPP's open architecture is designed to enable an ecosystem to develop that will expand the range of assets covered; to incorporate train, track and station data; integrated with maintenance systems; to substantially increase diagnosis and prognosis capabilities and to nurture a new market for the incorporation of third-party analytics modules.
No further information on progress has been published since the project kicked-off last July Network Rail's Intelligent Infrastructure programme, which incorporates an Intelligent Infrastructure Management (IIM) system for remote conditioning monitoring from Thales UK, was recognised as Project of the Year in the Real IT Awards. The project was also selected as winner in the Innovation in Technology category.
It was also recognised as 'Highly Commended' in The National Rail Awards in September 2013 Described as 'game changing' in leading industry standards. The programme's 'Predict and Prevent' nationwide approach, which now monitors over 25,000 assets on a nationwide basis, has directly resulted in an estimated reduction of 450,000 delay minutes - improving service for the travelling public and freight operators.
The station of the future: Providing an integrated passenger and consumer experience
Participants in the two-year, £1,932,468 budgeted The station of the future: Providing an integrated passenger and consumer experience project are: CISCO Systems Limited (lead); Telent Technology Services Limited; Workware Systems Limited - a Belfast based Real Time Data Analytics of unstructured and structured data (aka Big Data) company; and Abellio Transport Holdings Limited - a provide of Bus Services for London and Surrey.
Provided with a proposed project grant of £986,076, the project intends to deliver 21st Century station facilities, by providing connectivity suited for four types of groups: security providers, operators, retailers and travellers.
It will create a single, IP infrastructure to develop and test an architecture called Stations as a Service (StaaS). exploitable.
The project will be open and allow other UK SMEs to innovate on the StaaS platform ensuring the reference architecture is extensible.
According to telent the project will involve a demonstration at a station to show technical feasibility, as well as a wide range of associated benefits.
As part of its involvement, Cisco recently organised our first large workshop about the Stations as a Service (StaaS) project - Future Railway Stations: From vision to delivery, May 27, 2014 . Some 80 attendees from the rail industry came together to discuss the future of railway stations, including Network Rail, train operating companies, government officials, technology and telecoms providers, security providers and transport specialists from academia and the press.
In the blog post by Ersel Oymak, Innovation Technology Manager, Cisco CREATE, that the technology development and planning for StaaS was described as taking a few years before it officially started the project. And in order to get all relevant parties on board – funders, stakeholders, industry partners – it had a lot of convincing to do. "After all, the decision for companies to partner up and to invest significant amounts of time and effort into a disruptive proof-of-concept has to be properly weighed. And the innovation isn't just on the technological side – it also means that business processes will have to be done differently. In one of the industries most resilient to change, that takes a lot of determination, from everyone."
Cisco will start running the proof of concepts in three UK railway stations. The demos of StaaS will go live next year at three stations on the same line: Ingatestone, Colchester and Liverpool Street Station in London.
"Thomas Edison once said, "Vision without execution is hallucination". As our recent workshop showed, communication, collaboration and planning are crucial steps on the way to delivering our vision for future railway stations. That way, when it's deployed, we are optimistic that the new technology will fit the stations just fine. Fingers crossed."
Drone train
Participant is the £1,225,006 budgeted Drone train project are: Balfour Beatty Rail Limited (lead); Zircon Software Limited based in Trowbridge, Wiltshire; Nomad Digital Limited - a Newcastle upon Tyne & London based provider of wireless solutions to the transportation sector; University of Huddersfield; Heriot-Watt University; and Newcastle University.
This £790,150 supported project intends to demonstrate a solution which takes close to realtime train measurement to 'the cloud' and (in parallel) remotely manage trains (while hauled by a manned traction unit).
In other words, the train operator can be in any remote centre. One operator team can then manage many measurement vehicles around the world.
In the project, data quality from unmanned vehicles will be improved, crew costs reduced and data access improved. Analysis will be carried out in the cloud. Fault reports, statistics and alerts are taken from the cloud by users with mobile apps or office systems. More than one display tool can use the data, and the users can be anywhere in the world; in an office or on the line side.
As well as improving the efficiency of the railways, drone train has the potential to change how this technology is delivered and allow access to the technology for smaller organisations such as tram and light rail infrastructure operators.
It's also envisaged that the resulting dataset produced by the project will stimulate future systems and products from both within and outside the consortium.
Intelligent Rail Defect Detection and Reporting in Real-time via Electromagnetics (i-R3D2)
Participants in the £1,254,568 budgeted Intelligent Rail Defect Detection and Reporting in Real-time via Electromagnetics (i-R3D2) project are: Avonwood Developments Limited (lead) - based in Wimborne, Dorset, that was previously a participant in the Previous Technology Strategy Board funded rail project i-RAM - Intelligent Returnable Asset Management from June 2010 to May 2012; Avanti Communications Limited the London-based broadband satellite operator; and University of Birmingham.
Rail flaw detection is important for the safe and reliable operation of rail networks. The £787,535 supported Intelligent Rail Defect Detection and Reporting in Real-time via Electromagnetics (i-R3D2) project aims to develop an integrated rail defect detection system capable of complementing existing techniques.
The project will employ advanced data management and predictive analytics to provide rail maintenance personnel with timely rail defect information. to enhance rail maintenance effectiveness, as well as improve efficiency and safety.
According to project lead Avonwood, the i-R3D2 project aims to research and provide a rail defect detection system with a form factor suitable for mounting on passenger trains.
Digitally Enabling Electrification
Participants in the £1,120,785 budgeted project Digitally Enabling Electrification are Laing O'Rourke plc (lead - a major UK civil engineering enterprise and manufacturer); WS Atkins Plc - a consulting firm; Imperial College London - leading on surveying technology and data integration; and DHP11 Limited - an Overlees, near Dronfield, based software developer for infrastructure and utility organisations.
The aim of the £676,837 supportedDigitally enabled electrification project is to develop an integrated digital electrification delivery solution for Overhead Line Equipment (OLE). It will do this by analysing and streamlining current practice and requirements for the data exchange interfaces and process involved. This promotes the government's £310bn infrastructure plan, Construction Strategy for the use of Level 2 Building Information Modelling (BIM) by 2016, intelligent asset management as identified in the Rail Technology Strategy (RTS) and the 'asset themes' within the Network Rail Technical Strategy (NRTS).
The project will establish and map the survey, design, manufacture and on-site assembly, and delivery processes, and enable integration of each from the currently fragmented sub-processes.
Digital models can then be used to inform decisions, reduce design and construction risk and, once commissioned, enable effective asset management of the OLE elements and also the related civil engineering, power supply and programme management.
Rail incident manager
Datasys Limited, a Manchester based developer of rail incident management software, is leading the £882,447 budgetedRail incident managerproject, in collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University Policy Evaluation and Research Unit (a multi-disciplinary team of evaluators, economists, sociologists and criminologists); and First Greater Western Limited.
A proposed project grant of £618,215 is supporting the project to enable passengers to report issues associated with railway networks, as well as a means of receiving automatic updates about their journey, and a means for rail staff to record and report issues in real time.
According the project proposal, a lack of information and its timely communication in particular remain universal themes in passenger satisfaction surveys. This it mainly attributes to the mechanisms for the recording and reporting of incident and quality information by rail personnel, with no current system allowing for the capture of information from mobile devices, limiting the ability to supply real-time information.
The project consortium aims to develop a novel rail incident management technology, based around two applications for use in mobile devices. The first application will be designed as an interface for the passenger, enabling them to report any issues associated with the railway network, as well as a means of receiving automatic updates about their journey. The second application will be designed for rail staff to record and report any service/safety critical/quality issues in real time.
Asset Monitoring Platform (AMP)
Omnicom Engineering Limited, a York-based developer of hardware and software to the transportation sector, is leading the £805,316 budgeted Asset Monitoring Platform (AMP) project to deliver a web-based diagnostic platform for railway infrastructure asset monitoring, and improved forecasting of track condition based on the use of track geometry data.
Omnicom Engineering previously collaborated in the Technology Strategy Board £415,259 funded project running from August 2012 to January 2014 Digital Imaging for Condition Asset Management (DIFCAM).
Other participanting in the Asset Monitoring Platform (AMP) are Cybula Limited, a software and hardware for searching Signals, Images and Text. Cybula Ltd was founded in 2000 by Professor Jim Austin to develop commercial applications for research in high performance pattern matching undertaken at the University of York. Cybula Ltd works in close partnership with the Advanced Computer Architecture Group in the Department of Computer Science at the University.
Cybula is housed in the IT centre in York, a specially built data enabled accommodation close to the University.
Cybula has participated in 13 EPSRC or Technology Strategy Board contracts including the projects Monitoring Complex Assets using Patterns in Signal data (MCAPS) and Condition Monitoring on a Cloud (CMAC).
Also participating are University of Huddersfield - that also had successful funding bids in 2013 of a Steering Wheel Motor for Light Rail Vehicles - and the University Of York's Railway Asset Monitoring Platform being conducted by its Department of Computer Science.
A Proposed project grant of £564,582 is supporting the project that aims to address operational down time by driving proactive maintenance due to a silo approach to data management, generation of large data sets rather than information and limited prognostic analytical tools.
This proposal will combine recently available computing technologies to deliver a web-based portal within which software written in any computing language for any operating system can be run as a service. According to the proposal, web portal technologies have been available for some time, but newly available levels of flexibility will allow users access to a range of current, legacy and in-development services at relatively low cost, allowing for rapid evaluation and adoption of technology.
The proposed project consists of two key elements: 1) Development of a web-based, diagnostic platform for railway infrastructure asset monitoring, and 2) A demonstrator showing how the asset monitoring platform (AMP) can be used to improve the forecasting of track condition based on the use of track geometry data.
Health and prognostic assessment of railway assets for predictive maintenance
Warwick-based Telent Technology Services Limited is leading the Health and prognostic assessment of railway assets for predictive maintenance project, that has a proposed budget of £725,189 to provide reliable health assessments of railways assets, manage asset degradation and undertake maintenance intervention in advance of failure.
Working with London Underground,Universal Pipe Enterprises Limited t/a Humaware, University of Nottingham and Loughborough University the £473,772 funded project focusses on the "Health and Prognostic Assessment of Railway Assets for Predictive Maintenance".
The project will provide an open architecture system that integrates data from a number of sources. Condition indicators will be derived from Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) data, based on detection of defects and trends to develop an automated approach to introducing prognostics assessment via a risk-based Remaining Useful Life (RUL).
This approach is claimed will significantly improve on current state detection methods which are based on simple thresholds. The technology developed will assess the RUL via a dynamic scheduler to determine the optimum maintenance period in order to minimise the risk of failure to the asset and maximise its availability.
According to Telent the technology developed will assess Remaining Useful Life (RUL) via a dynamic scheduler to determine the optimum maintenance period, and so minimise risks of failure of the asset and maximise availability.
The project will also address the process re-engineering and the human factors arising from moving from a schedule and demand based maintenance management regime to a forecasting approach where static schedules and depth of maintenance regimes are replaced with dynamic processes.
It is anticipated that the end product will help London Underground in delivering reduced Lost Customer Hours and offer export opportunities for similar savings with other mass transit and rail operators.
Humaware has worked with a range of organisations including the UK Ministry of Defence, the US Army, as well as industrial applications in the rail, marine and petrol/chemical sectors to support them in developing their RCM and IVHM capabilities.
Ken Pipe, the Managing Director, has been instrumental in the development of Condition Monitoring technology and systems for over 30 years.
i-TRACS (Internet-based Train and Railway Applications Collaboration System)
The i-TRACS project with a project costed at £733,950, invles the development of a number of 'apps' for improved operations and customer service for train operating companies and freight operating companies. Supported by a project grant of £430,308 for the period of January 2014 to June 2015 the project is led by Liverpool based Aimes Grid Services Community Interest Company.
The largely Liverpool base project also involves Containerport Limited; Glow New Media Limited as well as London-based Placr Limited and BT PLC.
The i-TRACS project will build a new and innovative three-tier demonstrator for the rail industry in which strategic data sets will be ingested into an open-access and interoperable platform, upon which a number of 'apps' will be created to improve both the operations and customer service for train operating companies and freight operating companies.
The project is expected to demonstrate the concept of a digital 'ecosystem' in which value will be created by a community of app developers using a range of data sources and hosted on a resilient and cost-effective platform.
The initial use cases will be in container freight transport, passenger transport and transport service analytics. The project will be carried out in Liverpool in collaboration with Freightliner Ltd and with Merseyrail Ltd.
The data layer will include GPS data from hauliers and container consignment data from shipping lines, real-time train location data from Network Rail and passenger location data in the form of off-call mobile data from INRIX. The interoperable information platform will be provided by BT, based upon their Information Spine technology, and the project will be hosted at the AIMES ISO 27001 data centre campus at Liverpool Innovation Park.
Applications will be developed by the consortium partners who include Containerport Ltd, Glow New Media Ltd and Placr Ltd, to optimise inter-model container operations, provide improved end-to-end journey information to passengers and create analytics services for rail operating companies.
According to Aimes, the assets utilised include public transport travel data from Placr via their Transport.api service and sentiment analysis using date form Twitter and Facebook. Freight transport data will be provided by Containerport and will include feeds from the major shipping lines, including Hamburg Sud, and from freight haulage companies.
The i-TRACS project will be physically located at the Rail Industry Transport Demonstrator Facility at AIMES and the hub will be hosted in the G-Cloud accredited, next generation cloud campus in Liverpool. Partners responsible for deploying the information hub include AIMES and BT Research who both have experience in creating commercial-scale transport platforms with open APIs.
AIMES previously created an interoperable information hub as part of the TSB funded Fibrenet demonstrator (www.fibrenet-project.org.uk) using open, RESTful services. BT has set up an open platform for global supply chains based upon their Smart Communities Spine technology. The project will also work with other "Enabling the Digital Railway" Projects to create a 'Federated Information Hub' model and will work with the EU funded FI-PPP programme and the ESA funded Freight Optimisation project.

(written from a Production point of view)
The crew tries to defend the Alpha Quadrant from the invading Dominion fleet; Worf, Garak, and the other prisoners prepare to escape from the Dominion Internment Camp. (Part 2 of 2)
- 1 Summary
- 2 Memorable quotes
- 3 Background information
- 4 Links and references
The Dominion fleet enters the Alpha Quadrant through the wormhole. The USS Defiant (under the command of Major Kira), Dukat's Bird-of-Prey and the station's two remaining runabouts prepare to take on the fleet, only for it to not attack Deep Space 9; instead, it heads directly for Cardassian space.
Dukat's Bird-of-Prey breaks off from the Defiant and starts to follow the Dominion fleet. Kira, thinking Dukat is trying to be a hero, tells him to stop but Dukat clarifies that he isn't chasing the fleet… he's joining it. He then reveals a startling fact: over the last few months, he has been conducting secret negotiations and, as of a week earlier, the Cardassian Union are officially members of the Dominion. He then bids farewell to Kira, wryly noting that the two of them being on the same side never seemed right. He then makes a getaway before the Defiant can destroy his ship.
Act One
Worf, Bashir, Garak, and Martok plan their escape from Internment Camp 371. The prisoners in Internment Camp 371 are gathered together. The prison's commanding Vorta, Deyos, announces that Cardassia has joined the Dominion and, consequently, all the Cardassians imprisoned at 371 are being released… with the exception of Garak. When Garak demands to know why he is not being released, Deyos explains that this is because he is not popular with the new head of the Cardassian government; none other than Gul Dukat.
Dukat soon makes his first broadcast as leader to the people of Cardassia, while Sisko and the others watch on DS9. Dukat promises to remove all Klingons and Maquis from within Cardassian space, as well as anyone else who gets in the way of Cardassia's return to a position of prominence in the Alpha Quadrant.
The senior staff discuss the situation. The wormhole's entrance, rather than being sealed, has now been strengthened to the point that it can never be collapsed. Between this and the sudden disappearance of an engineering officer, Changeling involvement is suggested by none other than by the Julian Bashir Changeling. With this, he is authorized by Sisko to begin blood screenings.
Act Two
While Garak works inside a tight space next to their cell to contact their runabout's transporter, Worf is coerced into a series of hand-to-hand battles with Jem'Hadar warriors, beginning with the youngest and most inexperienced.
Back in the Alpha Quadrant, Kira and Ziyal talk on the Promenade, discussing the duplicitous actions of her father, Dukat.
A battered Klingon fleet led by Chancellor Gowron unexpectedly arrives at DS9 – the newly arrived Dominion fleet has quickly turned the tide of the Klingon-Cardassian War in favor of the Cardassians, and the incensed Gowron is ready to plunge the Klingon Empire into a fight to the death with the Dominion. Sisko suggests to Gowron that the Khitomer Accords be revived for the sake of bolstering their forces for the coming conflict. Gowron accedes. Afterwards, the Bashir Changeling successfully sneaks aboard the runabout USS Yukon and starts making modifications.
Act Three
Worf continues fighting the Jem'Hadar and kills the last one of five, earning awe and admiration from Martok. Once back in the cell, Bashir treats Worf and states that he has three or four broken ribs. The Doctor recommends that Worf stop fighting, but Worf refuses.
Garak is still working inside the tight space, talking to himself, and seems to be losing his mind. The others hear strange noises coming from within the space. When the Jem'Hadar guards pass the cell, the prisoners hurriedly shut off the power, plunging the enclosed space into darkness. When the guards have gone, Bashir enters the space and pulls Garak out. For the next several hours, he lies on his bunk, unmoving, staring straight ahead. Bashir grimly states that Garak's claustrophobia has overcome him, and they will be unable to try contacting the runabout.
The staff aboard DS9 is waiting for reinforcements. Kira enters Ops and states that the security blocks of one of the industrial replicators was overridden on level 17 and the memory core has been wiped. Benjamin Sisko is contacted by Gul Dukat, who has been declared the head of the new Cardassian government. Dukat recommends that the Federation join the Dominion. Dukat lays claim to DS9 and gives Sisko an ultimatum: either Sisko will surrender the station, or Dukat will take it by force. Sisko tells him he is more than welcome to try and terminates communications.
Act Four
Martok assists Worf back to the cell, returning from his seventh hand-to-hand victory. Bashir patches him up as best as he can, while Martok pledges to commission an epic song about Worf's trials. Bashir asks the General to be sure to send him a copy, and Martok says he can do better: he can ensure Bashir is commemorated as well, as "the healer that bound the warrior's wounds so he could fight again!" Worf wryly remarks that the only part of the song he wants to hear is the part that tells of their escape. Bashir grows grave as he says that, with Garak out of action, they need to come up with a new plan.
To everyone's surprise, Garak rises from his bunk and cheerfully says that won't be necessary; he has no intention of appearing in Martok's song as "the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger". He's rested enough, and it's time for him to get back to work inside his "dungeon". As he ducks into the cramped space again, the two Klingon warriors look on with respect, both of them knowing that it takes true courage to face one's own worst fears.
The Julian Bashir Changeling and O'Brien talk in the infirmary. O'Brien is shocked when Bashir talks excitedly about having purchased duridium alloy darts at a time like this, but does not suspect that Bashir is a Changeling.
Worf, back at the combat area, is waiting for his next opponent, when Deyos and the Jem'Hadar First, Ikat'ika, arrive instead. Ikat'ika announces that he will fight Worf himself.
Meanwhile, Garak is back in the crawlspace when Jem'Hadar soldiers come in the cell looking for him. They find the tool that was used to open the panel to the space where Garak is.
Sisko orders Kira and Dax to the Defiant for the pending battle and deploys the runabouts. The Julian Bashir Changeling is on the runabout Yukon and responds to Ops in a female voice, having already incapacitated the original crew. O'Brien announces that a build up of tachyon particles has been detected, and ships begin decloaking around the station… Romulan ships. The Romulans request permission to join the fleet; Sisko, while quite surprised, grants their request.
Kira, on the Defiant, states that the Cardassian-Dominion fleet is merely ten minutes away.
Act Five
Bashir tries to bluff the Jem'Hadar soldier about the tool. Bashir flippantly quips that "it's either a self-sealing stem bolt or a reverse-ratcheting router". Not convinced, the soldier vaporizes a Romulan prisoner and then threatens to kill another if Bashir continues to lie. Before the leader can kill Bashir for his insolence, another soldier figures out the tool's use.
In the ring, Worf is losing the fight against Ikat'ika, and can barely stand. When he is knocked down yet again, Martok urges him to yield, insisting that "honor has been satisfied."
Garak is perilously close to being found out when a Breen prisoner grabs the plasma pistol from the holster of a Jem'Hadar who had his back turned, and vaporizes two of the guards, though the second manages to vaporize him as well. Bashir and the Romulan prisoner kill the remaining guards with makeshift knives, and grab their weapons, urging Garak to complete his work before Jem'Hadar reinforcements storm into the cell.
In the ring, Worf is clearly beaten, but still refuses to yield. As he crawls on his belly towards the post, even Ikat'ika tries to dissuade him from continuing, saying that Worf has earned the respect of everyone there. But Worf still refuses to yield, and Deyos impatiently orders the combat finished. To everyone's surprise, Ikat'ika instead steps back and yields the match, announcing that he may be able to kill Worf, but he cannot defeat him, and killing Worf no longer interests him. Irritated, Deyos orders them both executed.
Just as the guards raise their weapons, Garak succeeds in activating his makeshift communicator, and the runabout immediately energizes its transporter, beaming all the prisoners away; as the guards open fire, Ikat'ika is vaporized by a plasma bolt, but Worf is beamed away a split second before the weapons fire impacts him.
Aboard the runabout, Garak immediately lays in an escape course, while Martok and Bashir help a badly-injured Worf back to the sickbay. Before going, Worf makes sure to tell the Cardassian that he "did well," and Garak returns the compliment. The crew then set a course back to the station at maximum warp.
Back on DS9, everyone is confused by the lack of an attacking fleet contrary to the sensor readings. Suddenly, they get a hail from the real Bashir in the Gamma Quadrant. Sisko quickly realizes that the Bashir they've been dealing with was the Changeling and quickly discerns that he left aboard the runabout Yukon. He then orders Kira aboard the USS Defiant to destroy the runabout no matter the cost.
Kira and Dax determine that the Changeling has rigged the Yukon with trilithium, tekasite, and protomatter, which if detonated inside the Bajoran sun, would induce a supernova, destroying Bajor, DS9, and the combined Klingon, Romulan, and Federation fleets in one fell swoop. The Defiant warps toward the sun and tractors the Yukon away in time to prevent the supernova. It dives off into free space and explodes, killing the Changeling and incapacitated crew still aboard.
The sensor readings of the Dominion fleet suddenly vanish. Sisko realizes that the whole incident was a plot to lure the combined fleets of the Alpha Quadrant's superpowers to the Bajoran system and then blow them all up together with Bajor and Deep Space 9. Yet the plan failed and "Armageddon will have to wait… for another day".
At Quark's, Garak and Ziyal emotionally reunite, as do Dax and Worf in the infirmary. Meanwhile, Chief O'Brien is baffled to realize he has been hanging around with a Changeling for the last four weeks.
On the second level of the Promenade, Gowron signs the final version of the new treaty between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, which includes a permanent Klingon military presence on DS9. Sisko is given the right to choose the commander himself, and considering Worf and Martok's mutual admiration, he asks the general to do the job, which he gladly accepts.
Dukat contacts Sisko to congratulate him. Sisko points out that Ziyal would have died along with them if the bomb had gone off, but the new leader of Cardassia does not seem to be bothered, saying he no longer considers her his daughter. Dukat tells Sisko that he may have escaped defeat today, but tomorrow… "We will see about tomorrow", the captain interrupts.
"Yes, we will," Dukat replies, ending the transmission.

Memorable quotes
"For the past few months, I've been conducting secret negotiations between the Dominion and Cardassia. And, as of last week, Cardassia has agreed to become part of the Dominion."
- - Dukat, to Major Kira
"I am pleased to announce that hostilities between our peoples have ended. As of today, Cardassia has joined the Dominion. Therefore, you are all being sent home. Congratulations on your new status as Dominion citizens."
- - Deyos, to the Cardassian prisoners
"The last time I checked, I was a Cardassian."
"But not a very popular one, I'm afraid. At least not with the head of the new Cardassian government."
"And who would that be?"
"Gul Dukat."
- - Garak and Deyos
"You might ask, 'Should we fear joining the Dominion?' And I answer you, 'Not in the least.' We should embrace the opportunity. The Dominion recognizes us for what we are: the true leaders of the Alpha Quadrant. And now that we are joined together, equal partners in all endeavors, the only people with anything to fear will be our enemies. My oldest son's birthday is in five days. To him, and to Cardassians everywhere, I make the following pledge: by the time his birthday dawns, there will not be a single Klingon alive inside Cardassian territory, or a single Maquis colony left within our borders. Cardassia will be made whole. All that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood, for my son, for all our sons."
- - Gul Dukat
"Today, we train against a worthy adversary. Observe. Analyze. Remember. Soon, we will face his people in combat. The lessons you learn here will ensure victory. Victory is life!!"
- - Ikat'ika
"Think of it. Five years ago, no one had ever heard of Bajor or Deep Space 9 and now…all our hopes rest here. Where the tides of fortune take us, no man can know."
"They're tricky, those tides."
- - Gowron and Sisko
"Dukat, if you have something to say to me, say it!"
"Then I'll make it simple. A few days ago, I swore all Cardassia lost would be regained. That space station you're so fond of was built by Cardassia."
"Funny. I thought it was built by Bajoran slave labor."
- - Sisko and Dukat, on Deep Space 9
"Either surrender the station, or I'll take it by force. The choice is yours."
"If you want to retake the station, Dukat, you're welcome to try."
- - Gul Dukat and Sisko, on Deep Space 9
"The Jem'Hadar don't eat, don't drink and they don't have sex… and if that wasn't bad enough, the Founders don't eat, don't drink and they don't have sex either, which, between you and me, makes my financial future less than promising."
"It might not be so bad. For all we know the Vorta could be gluttonous, alcoholic sex maniacs."
- - Quark and Tora Ziyal
"Tell our friends out there to stand down. Armageddon will have to wait for another day."
- - Sisko
"After all, a verse about 'the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger' would ruin General Martok's song. Now if you'll excuse me, my dungeon awaits."
- - Garak, leaving to face the crawlspace again
"Tain, I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, I just want you to know, you may not have been much of a father, but I really wish you were alive right now. That way, you could be in here, instead of me."
- - Garak
"There is no greater enemy than one's own fears."
"It takes a brave man to face them."
- - Martok and Worf, as Garak returns to work in his "dungeon."
"My people have a saying: 'Never turn your back on a Breen.'"
- - The female Romulan prisoner, about the Breen prisoner
"You fight because that is what you were designed to do. All that motivates him is some barbaric sense of honor."
"And that is something you will never understand."
- - Deyos and Ikat'ika, on Worf
"Victory is life."
"Today is a good day to die."
- - Ikat'ika and Worf, comparing worldviews
"Four weeks? Are you telling me I've been hanging around with a Changeling for over a month?"
"And you even never suspected it wasn't me?"
"No! And the worst part is, the clues were right in front of me!"
"What clues?"
"Well, for one thing, he was a lot easier to get along with."
- - O'Brien and Bashir
"I yield. I cannot defeat this Klingon. All I can do is kill him. And that no longer holds my interest."
- - Ikat'ika, when Worf refuses to stay down
"Right now I wouldn't believe your father if he said rain was wet."
- - Kira Nerys, to Tora Ziyal
"I'm sorry, but that's absolutely unacceptable! I'm under enough strain as it is - I can't have you quitting on me!"
- - Garak talking to a failing light, trying to control his claustrophobia
"What I did, I did to make Cardassia strong again. And mark my words, Captain, I've succeeded. You may have escaped defeat this day, but tomorrow…"
"We will see about tomorrow."
"Yes, we will."
- - Dukat and Sisko
Background information
Story and script
- Garak's role and actions in this episode are similar to Charles Bronson's in the 1963 John Sturges film The Great Escape. Both men were forced to work in a confined area and both suffered from claustrophobia. It is also worth noting that Andrew Robinson himself suffers from mild claustrophobia, and on the day the crawl space scenes were shot, he was suffering from the flu. He says of these scenes, "I didn't have to act. I was there." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe based the depiction of an economically depressed Cardassia on the brink of cultural collapse on the Weimar Republic, the government of Germany between the two World Wars, from 1919 to 1933. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- This episode ends the process of depicting the character of Gul Dukat in a more sympathetic light, a process which began in "The Maquis, Part II" and was carried on in episodes such as "Civil Defense", "Defiant", "The Way of the Warrior", "Indiscretion", "Return to Grace", and "Apocalypse Rising". Ever since "The Maquis, Part II", Dukat's role as a clear-cut villain had been rendered more and more ambiguous, especially in the aforementioned three episodes from the fourth season. Whereas the character had initially been introduced as a typical bad guy, it seemed that the writers were on course to completely turn him around, and eventually have him as a protagonist. However, according to both Ira Steven Behr and Robert Hewitt Wolfe, they had always intended Dukat's change of heart to be temporary, and they always knew, even when writing episodes like "Defiant", that somewhere down the road he would show everybody just how truly evil he really was. As Behr explains, they never had any intention of turning Dukat into a good guy; "Dukat is a self-deluded, opportunistic, egomaniacal sadist. In other words he is the Richard Nixon of Deep Space Nine. He will do whatever it takes to come out on top." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Regarding how the transporter identified the escapees, Ronald D. Moore commented: "I think that Garak programmed the transporter to beam out anyone who wasn't a Jem'Hadar or a Vorta within a given area." (AOL chat, 1997)
- Although both this episode and "In Purgatory's Shadow" were extremely popular with viewers, the producers were a little disappointed with how the two-parter turned out. As Ira Steven Behr explains, "I'm not sure if this worked as well as it could have as a two-parter. It might have been better as a two-hour block. Or even as a ninety-minute show. We didn't really gain anything by splitting them up. The second hour moves like a house on fire. Events are happening at such an accelerated pace. If we'd had the hour or forty-five-minute buildup immediately precede it, I'd have liked it better." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- This episode deals with two major story arcs which had originally been introduced in previous episodes:
- The Klingon War, which began in "The Way of the Warrior" and was seen throughout season 4, is officially ended by Gowron when he re-signs the Khitomer Accords and once again allies the Klingon Empire with the Federation. Also important in this arc is the presence of General Martok, who was presumed dead after the revelation that he had been replaced by a Changeling in "Apocalypse Rising".
- The Dominion War, which had existed in a state of cold war since the second season finale "The Jem'Hadar", becomes a more urgent matter with the advancement of the Dominion fleet into the Alpha Quadrant and Dukat's decision to have Cardassia become a member.
- This episode marks the second time that Bashir has been replaced by a Changeling, the first being "The Adversary".
- There are a great number of references to previous episodes: Worf's desire to fight a Jem'Hadar, as revealed in "To the Death", is here realized; the Dominion fleet heading towards Bajor but then turning and moving towards Cardassia confirms Sisko's vision of locusts in "Rapture"; Dukat's reference to himself and Kira being on the same side refers to "Indiscretion" and "Return to Grace"; the references to Cardassian cultural depression and economic stagnation, and Dukat's promise to eliminate all Klingon troops in Cardassian territory, recalls the events of "The Way of the Warrior"; Dukat's reference to Sisko saving his life more than once refers to the episodes "The Maquis, Part II", where Sisko rescues Dukat from the Maquis, and "The Way of the Warrior", in which Sisko helps Dukat escape Cardassia before the Klingon fleet arrives.
- This episode shows the audience the third 'honorable' Jem'Hadar First; Ikat'ika. The first First was Goran'Agar in the episode "Hippocratic Oath". The second was Omet'iklan in "To the Death". Others would include Remata'Klan in "Rocks and Shoals" and Ixtana'Rax in "One Little Ship".
- The seemingly strange decision on the part of the Jem'Hadar to leave the runabout orbiting Internment Camp 371 would be addressed by Luther Sloan of Section 31 in the episode "Inquisition", though it does not explain the Dominion's reason for doing so.
- In the episode "The Homecoming", it was established that a runabout's transporter can only beam up two subjects at a time. That limitation was overcome by this episode, as the runabout was able to beam up far more than two; however, there has been no onscreen explanation as to how.
- Dax is hesitant about jumping to warp inside the Bajoran star system. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Captain Kirk had to risk jumping to warp inside Earth's solar system to intercept V'ger as soon as possible.
- The shots of Dukat addressing the Cardassian people on viewscreens are modified from "Tribunal", with Dukat's image replacing that of Chief Archon Makbar.
- Dukat's line to Ziyal at the end of "In Purgatory's Shadow", "stay here and be damned!", paralleled Kang in "Blood Oath". This episode reveals that, like Kang, he was hiding the fact that he was collaborating with the enemy. Unlike Kang, he does not redeem himself in the remaining hour.
- Rene Auberjonois (Odo) and Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) do not appear in this episode.
- Ikat'ika is the only named Jem'Hadar to appear in more than one episode.
- The Romulans join the Federation and Klingons near Deep Space 9 to protect the station from the Dominion. The appearance of the Romulans forshadow their eventual alliance with the Federation and Kingon Empire during the Dominion War.

WWE bad guy David Otunga feels left out when publications cover sightings of his fiancee, Oscar winner and fellow Chicago native Jennifer Hudson, but don't mention that he was at the restaurant or store as well – at least that's what he told me when I met him during Wrestlemania weekend in Miami.
Was he joking?
Probably. But just to be safe, I ask that sources now mention if there was a ridiculously jacked dude standing nearby when sending in a Hudson sighting. Oh, and if you see someone who looks like Otunga working out at an X Sport Fitness in Chicago, chances are it's probably him.
"I work out at X Sport Fitness every day," said Otunga, who was surprised nobody has reported any sightings of him at the gym.
Awk-ward: I've never known how wrestlers can stare each other down in the middle of the ring with their faces inches apart and not crack a smile. I always figured I would burst out laughing four seconds into a stare down just like I do every time I'm in a situation where I'm not supposed to laugh and would then take a few deep breaths before saying, "OK, OK, OK. For real this time."
But much like most of Chris Rock's movies, stare downs aren't as funny as you'd think.
I asked WWE Superstar and former United States Champion Dolph Ziggler if we could stare each other down for a photo and learned stare downs are more awkward than anything. The whole thing lasted about five seconds, but it felt way longer. That's probably because I was having what is really just a staring contest with a guy I'd never met before.
Once it was over, Ziggler said "I thought you were going to crack." The truth is I never came close. The only thoughts that crossed my mind were A) This is weird B) This is really weird C) Dolph smells like Barbasol shaving cream. Still, thanks to Dolph for being a good sport about the whole thing.
On the record: "If I didn't do that Wrestlemania stuff, I would've lost my house." – Boxing legend Mike Tyson jokes about his Wrestlemania appearance in 1998 during his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
"Just won my match at #Wrestlemania with @realkellykelly.amazing experience.and ps-that was eve's makeup on my pants-let's not get cray cray." – "Extra" co-host Maria Menounos tweets about the mysterious stain on the back of her white pants following her Wrestelmania match Sunday.
Hit my music: If I were a wrestler (which we now know would never happen because the stare downs would be too awkward for me), I would pick DMX's "X Gon' Give it to Ya" as my theme song. It might be old, but it still gets me hyped up after all these years. WWE Champion CM Punk? He picked Living Colour's "Cult of Personality" as his song, but he did consider A.F.I.'s awesome "Miseria Cantare."
"I thought about it," Punk told me last month when I interviewed him at The Bongo Room in Wicker Park. "I wasn't sure I could get it done. (A.F.I.) has a rough relationship with their record label. But you never know. Before my career is done, you'll probably see it."
No shirt: I was on a mission last week to buy my first WWE t-shirt in over a decade. It didn't need to be a t-shirt I would wear to the bars or anything, just something I could wear at Wrestlemania Sunday and maybe in my next Chicago Tribune column photo.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any t-shirt I liked. Not one. And that's why I'm asking WWE to step its t-shirt game up. You gave us this classic Macho Man t-shirt, this Rock t-shirt and this DX tshirt -- which I wore while getting a girl's number at Gurnee Mills mall in high school, one of my most unlikely accomplishments to date – and now it's time for a new generation of great t-shirts.
Better get moving, WWE. Extreme Rules takes place at the Allstate Arena April 29 and me with nothing to wear.

The boys learned how to play chess. They tried to teach me. I know checkers but not chess. So I made my Knight, upon approval of the Bishop, conspire against his King to steal his Queen. Then, empowered by love, my Knight destroyed all opposing forces in a relentless three-day battle. Then I told the boys to "King Me." They obliged. I won. I think I like this game you mortal pawns call "Chess"...

Judaism (jooʹdəĭzʺəm, jooʹdē–), the religious beliefs and practices and the way of life of the Jews . The term itself was first used by Hellenized Jews to describe their religious practice, but it is of predominantly modern usage; it is not used in the Bible or in Rabbinic literature and only rarely in the literature of the medieval period. The word Torah is employed when referring to the divinely revealed teachings of Jewish law and belief. Judaism is used more broadly, including also the totality of human interpretation and practice. Thus, one may speak of "secular Judaism," referring to an adherence to values expressed by Judaism but removed from any religious context. The most important holy days in Judaism are the weekly Sabbath , the major holidays of Rosh ha-Shanah , Yom Kippur , Sukkoth (see Tabernacles, Feast of ), Simhat Torah, Passover , and Shavuot , and the minor holidays of Hanukkah , Purim , and Tisha B'Av.
The Early Period
The history of Judaism predates the period to which the term itself actually refers, in that Judaism formally applies to the post-Second Temple period, while its antecedents are to be found in the biblical "religion of Israel." The Bible is no longer considered a homogeneous work; the many traditions represented in it demonstrate variance and growth. While the historicity of the patriarchs' existence and of Moses as the giver of all laws is under question, certain dominant themes can be seen developing in this early period that have importance for later Judaism.
Central to these themes is the notion of monotheism, which most scholars believe to have been the outgrowth of a process that began with polytheism, progressed to henotheism (the worship of one god without denying the existence of others), and ended in the belief in a single Lord of the universe, uniquely different from all His creatures. He is compassionate toward His creation, and in turn humans are to love and fear (i.e., stand in awe of) Him. Because God is holy, He demands that His people be holy, righteous, and just, a kingdom of priests to assist in the fulfillment of His designs for humankind and the world.
Israel's chosenness consists of this special designation and the task that accompanies it. God promises the land of Canaan to Israel as their homeland, the place in which the Temple will be built and sacrificial worship of God carried out. The holy days were the Sabbath, Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkoth; and circumcision, dietary laws, and laws pertaining to dress, agriculture, and social justice characterized the structure of the biblical religion. Three types of leaders existed during this period: the priest (kohen), who officiated in the Temple and executed the laws; the prophet (navi), to whom was revealed God's messages to His people; and the sage (hacham), who taught practical wisdom and proper behavior. There was developing already in this early period a belief in the ultimate coming of God's kingdom on earth, a time of peace and justice. To this was added, after the destruction (586 B.C.) of the First Temple and the Babylonian captivity (which many saw as the consequence of idolatry and which may have been responsible for the final stage of the development from polytheism to monotheism), the expectation of national restoration under the leadership of a descendant of the Davidic house, the Messiah .
The Postexilic Period
It was after the Babylonian captivity (not later than the 5th cent. B.C.) that a compilation of earlier texts and oral traditions was made, forming the canon of the Torah, the Five Books of Moses. Subsequently 34 other books were added to form the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament , though the canon was not finalized until perhaps as late as the 2d cent. A.D. The Torah was traditionally attributed to Moses, and study of the Torah was accompanied by expositions and explanations in which the Oral Law, as distinct from the Written Law (the Torah text), is rooted. While it is widely held that the Pharisees further developed the Oral Law, in opposition to the literalness of the Sadducees , it is inconceivable that the latter group could have administered the biblical laws without reinterpreting them in accordance with a changing world, or in the face of a lack of specificity in the text.
The Babylonian exile had exposed the Israelites to new ideas, and it is to that period that the notions of identifiable angels (such as Michael and Raphael), of the personification of evil (Satan), and of the resurrection of the dead can probably be traced. The conquests of Alexander the Great once again brought the Jews into contact with new ideas, most significantly that of the immortality of the soul. Conflict arose within the community of Israel concerning the level of Hellenization acceptable, out of which came the revolt of the Maccabees against the Seleucid rulers of Syria and their Judean sympathizers. The resulting martyrdom of many gave added impetus to the belief in collective resurrection of the dead and the immortality of the soul after the body's death. These concepts were wed in such a way that while the body awaited its resurrection, the soul was seen as living on in another realm. This new development in no way supplanted the earlier notion of earthly reward; life on earth, however, was viewed by many as preparatory for the next.
As the conditions of life deteriorated, apocalyptic beliefs grew—national catastrophe and the messianic kingdom were seen as imminent events. Some groups (see Essenes ; Qumran ) fled into the desert to lead righteous lives in anticipation, while others followed claimants to the mantle of Messiah (most notably Jesus). Out of these numerous ingredients came both Christianity and classical, or rabbinic, Judaism.
After the Destruction of the Second Temple
Developing over a period of five centuries (until c.A.D. 500), rabbinic Judaism completed the process already underway, which saw the replacement of the Temple by the synagogue (the Second Temple was destroyed in A.D. 70), of the priest by the rabbi , and of the sacrificial ceremony by the prayer service and study. Basic to these changes was the redaction and codification of the Oral Law (see Mishna ; Talmud ) and the Midrash , which, as outgrowths of the biblical religion, centered on the relationships between God, His Torah, and His people, Israel. Emphasis was placed upon study of the Torah (in its broadest sense) as the most important religious act, leading to an understanding of the proper way of life; upon the growing need for national restoration in the face of continued Exile from the Promised Land; and upon the function of this world as preparatory for the World to Come (Olam ha-Bah), while not devaluing the importance of life in this world.
Daily life was sanctified by the emphasis in Jewish law (halakah ) on the ritual fitness of foods (kashrut), the recitation of blessings for a variety of mundane acts, and the daily, weekly, monthly and annual cycles of prayer. Rites for the personal life cycle came to include circumcision of male infants at the age of eight days, signifying their induction into the covenant between God and Israel; the recognition of thirteen years as the age of majority for religious responsibilities (see Bar Mitzvah ); marriage; and funeral rites. During the medieval period, these trends continued and were basic to the several important codifications of the legal material and to the many biblical and Talmudic commentaries that were composed at this time (most notably by Rashi and Maimonides ).
The Middle Ages
The kabbalah flowered during the Middle Ages, combining older trends in Jewish mysticism with Neoplatonism and other ideas. The kabbalists retained the idea that the totality of God's nature is ultimately beyond human grasp ("Ein Sof" [Heb., literally,=without end] as the "Nothing"), yet, in keeping with tradition, held to a vision of a personal God who exists as the active, creative, and sustaining force within the cosmos ("Ein Sof" as the "Everything"). Spain was a major center of kabbalistic thought, which after the expulsions and forced conversion in 1492, spread and became more central to Jewish life in the Mediterranean world. Palestine then became the center of kabbalism, especially as it was developed by Isaac Luria and others.
A Jewish philosophy developed in answer to the questions raised by the exposure to Greek thought as distilled through the Islamic natural philosophy and metaphysics. Central to these issues was the conflict between reason and revelation: whether revelation was necessary if all could be ascertained through reason, or whether reason was imperfect and revelation was God's assisting humans to know the truth. Maimonides argued that one can say nothing positive about the personal nature of God, which is beyond human comprehension; one can only indicate what He is not (thus, the statement that God is wise says only that God is not ignorant, not how wise He actually is).
While the Jewish Middle Ages is usually defined by scholars as extending at least into the 18th cent., there was a Jewish counterpart to the general European Renaissance of the 15th and 16th cent., and figures such as Judah Abravanel were influenced by contemporary European philosophic currents. The expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 led to the Jews of N Italy, S France, and the Levant coming under Sephardic influence (see Sephardim ), and these events provoked much messianic and kabbalist speculation, culminating in the spectacular career of the self-proclaimed Messiah, Sabbatai Zevi .
The Amsterdam community of Marranos (those Jews forced by the Inquisition to adopt Christianity, but who continued to practice Judaism in secret, and many of whom later emigrated and returned to the Jewish fold) often provided a liberalizing influence on Orthodox Judaism, most significantly in the person of Baruch Spinoza , a Jew excommunicated for his unsparing critique of Rabbinic Judaism. The reaction to Sabbatianism and philosophical liberalism caused a hardening of rabbinic orthodoxy, but the Jewish world of the 18th cent. remained turbulent. It produced both the great traditionalist rabbinic figure Elijah ben Solomon and the untraditional figures of Baal-Shem-Tov , the founder of Hasidism (which Elijah himself fought against), and Moses Mendelssohn , the spiritual progenitor of later reformers whom Elijah's spiritual descendants repeatedly condemned.
The Reform Movement and Zionism
The emancipation of European Jews in the early decades of the 19th cent. brought with it the problem of maintaining claims of distinctiveness, of being "chosen," and at the same time wishing to participate in the general society. First dealt with by the Reform leaders of Germany (most notably Abraham Geiger ), this problem was met directly in Eastern Europe, giving rise to the Haskalah movement, whose members (e.g., Nachman Krochmal ) sought to revitalize Jewish life by recreating it along the lines of the best in European culture.
In the late 19th cent., Zionism promised a return to the Holy Land. This again created problems for the traditionalists whose religious ideas were rooted in the Diaspora, and many of whom opposed any movement to build a secular Jewish state in the Holy Land. Eventually, an Orthodox wing of Zionism did emerge. For many Jews still unanswered is the question of whether a full Jewish life is possible in exile, or whether residing in Zion is essential. Theologically, Zionism posed the problem of whether Jews can work for the messianic return or whether this would be counter to another traditional belief that saw humanity awaiting the divine intervention.
Modern Judaism
Ultimately, it was the halakah (the law) that divided Judaism in the 19th cent. The Orthodox hold both the written law (Scriptures) and the oral laws (commentaries on the legal portions of the Scriptures) as authoritative, derived from God, while the Reform do not see them as authoritative in any absolute sense, but binding only in their ethical content. While Orthodox Jews maintain the traditional practices, Reform Jews perform only those rituals that they believe can promote and enhance a Jewish, God-oriented life. In 1999, however, leaders of American Reform Judaism reversed century-old teachings by encouraging but not enforcing the observance of many traditional rituals. The "historical school," or Conservative movement, attempts to formulate a middle position between Orthodox and Reform, maintaining most of the traditional rituals but recognizing the need to make changes in accordance with overriding contemporary considerations. Conservative Jews believe that the history of Judaism proves their basic assumptions: that tradition and change have always gone hand in hand and that what is central to Judaism and has remained constant throughout the centuries is the people of Israel (and their needs), not the fundamentalism of Orthodoxy nor what they consider the abandonment of traditions by Reform. The related Reconstructionist movement of Mordechai M. Kaplan holds Judaism to be a human-centered rather than a God-centered religious civilization.
Also part of contemporary Judaism are the several Sephardic traditions maintained in Israel, France, Canada, and the United States by immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa and by European Sephardim in Europe and the Americas; the several Hasidic groups in Israel and the United States; the religious and secular Zionists in Israel and the Diaspora; the unorganized secular Jews, who maintain an atheist's or agnostic's adherence to Jewish values and culture; and those unorganized Jews who seek a religious life outside the synagogue. These many positions represent the most recent attempts at defining the "essence of Judaism," a process that has been continuous throughout the ages, variously emphasizing one of the three major components of Judaism (God, Torah, Israel) over the remaining two.

In response to Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, NIST created a program for improving the identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors to Federal facilities and information systems. This program is Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201, entitled Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, which as of September 2011 had issued over 5 million credentials. PIV-I expands the interoperable secure PKI credentialing to Non-Federal Issuers (NFI) so that other organizations seeking identity federation can include their own employees. Currently approved PIV-I providers include DigiCert, Entrust, Operational Research Consultants, VeriSign/Symantec, and Verizon Business. The CertiPath bridge also supports PIV-I credential providers such as Citi and HID.
If you have a PIV or PIV-I card, and are interested in digitally signing documents for consent/approval signatures or certified publishing – Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader will automatically validate digital signatures via US Federal Common Policy. Through the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL) program, the following trust anchors are included in version 9 and higher:
- Common Policy — 2010 expiry — Common Hardware, Common High, Medium HW CBP
- Common Policy — 2027 expiry — Common Hardware, Common High, Medium HW CBP
- Federal Common Policy CA — 2030 expiry — Common Hardware, Common High, Medium HW CBP, SHA1 Hardware
- HIDSigningCA1
- HIDRootCA1
- Federal Bridge CA
- CertiPath Bridge CA – G2
There are several ways these certificates can be installed. The easiest is to open the attached file HID_PIV-I_AdobeConfiguration.pdf, which provides a simplified installation experience into Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader. You can also download the FDF directly here: HID-PIV-I-Certs-AdobeReader.fdf
Now you can sign a PDF file and it will automatically validate for anyone with Acrobat or Reader version 9.1 or higher.
Sample HID PIV-I Signature document digitally signed with a production HID PIV-I card looks like this:

Jim Plush, in his latest blog entry, looks at one of the PHP frameworks offered out on the web, PHP on Trax, and why it falls flat.
Where this framework really falls flat is documentation, samples, and support.
A rails alternative in PHP? Sounds great, I dont have to spend my weekend learning Ruby. That's what I hoped when I came across PHP on Trax which dubs itself as a Rails alternative for PHP. At first glimpse of the code they do a nice job implementing a dynamic active record setup to quickly generate the most commonly needed funtionality.
Where this framework really falls flat is documentation, samples, and support.
He doesn't give any samples of how the framework is used (code), but he does describe the frustration he felt working on an application without the proper documentation and even quotes David Heinemeir on the same subject.
You want a framework to cut your development time, not have you digging through source code to try and find errors and documentation. PHP Trax has potential, yet falls flat for lack of documenation, support, and/or general community interest.
