In the News (Tue 18 Jun 13)

  
  Christopher Isham, Washington, D.C. Bureau Chief - CBS News
Isham had been the Chief of Investigative Projects for ABC News, where he built an investigative unit recognized as one of the most successful of its kind in television news.
Isham organized the first major network interview with Osama bin Laden in May 1998 and he and his unit broke numerous stories relating to the ongoing threat of international terrorism.

  The Ontological Interpretation of the Wave Function of the Universe
Isham should be commended for pointing out that the temporal phrases used in his description of the relation between imaginary and real time should not be taken literally.
Isham elsewhere writes that"...if one tries to track backwards in time from the WKB semi-classical region [i.e., the real-time region] one comes eventually to a regime where the classical category of time becomes harder and harder to sustain and 'then' to a region where it fades out all together.
Isham suggests that it, is best to interpret his physicalist language in a purely symbolic sense that 11 refers to properties of the mathematical model, not to what physically exists.

 DVD Extra - Music from the Movies
Mark Isham fares far better in The Cooler from Lions Gate, in which his retro, big band score is isolated in Dolby 5.1, and includes some cues not present on the commercial soundtrack album.
Isham's DVD commentaries - Blade and Fly Away Home - are generally solid observations of a composer dissecting his work and craft, and it's clear the two men developed a strong friendship during production.
Hosted by Christopher Husted (he of the Bernard Herrmann Estate), the analytical featurette covers the agreement between British and American studios that guaranteed a set sum of theatrical revenue to be allotted towards the production of British-made films with local crews and cast.

 Filmtracks: Runaway Jury (Christopher Young)
Runaway Jury: (Christopher Young) The newest adaptation of a John Grisham novel to the big screen, Runaway Jury is the first venture by composer Christopher Young into Grisham's courtroom dramas.
Even with that major change aside, the screenplay suffered from some poor choices in adaptation and made a film that was somewhat flat all the way to the end, even when the motives and secrets of all of the characters are revealed in rapid succession.
For Christopher Young, score collectors will wonder immediately if he was given a template of Thomas Newman styles within to work, because the finished result of the composition is a piece heavy with Newman references and a touch of Grusin and Young's own style thrown into the mix.

Isham writes about the Hartle-Hawking concept K(c,f), where K is the probability, c the curvature, and f the matter field of a certain three-dimensional space.
So Craig misinterprets both Isham and Hawking; Hawking's theory does give us an unconditional probability that a Hawking-type universe begins to exist uncaused and Isham correctly recognizes and states this fact in his interpretation of Hawking's theory.

According to C. Isham, this difficulty is "fairly lethal" to vacuum fluctuation models, thus, they "have not found wide acceptance."12 Colliding universes can be avoided by postulating that the background vacuum space is itself expanding -- but then we must posit an origin of the wider universe itself, and we are back where we started.

 The Hindu : Opinion / News Analysis : A bizarre turn in the war on terror
Six years on, evidence has begun to emerge that President Bush's administration may be funding one of the terrorist groups it promised to defeat — a group, moreover, reported to have been once commanded by Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the architect of the September 11, 2001, bombings that sparked off the global war on terror.
Early this month, ABC News journalists Brian Ross and Christopher Isham broke the news that the U.S. was funding Islamist terror group Jundullah — or Allah's Brigade — to carry out strikes against Iran.
U.S. government officials Ross and Isham spoke to claimed that it was appropriate to deal with Jundullah because the Islamist terror group had, in return for support, proved helpful in tracking Al-Qaeda figures.

 Why Steven Hawking's Cosmology Precludes a Creator
But this is a mistake, for the probability of finding any three-dimensional cross-section of spacetime in such quantum models is only relative to some other cross-section given as one's point of departure.
Craig does not refer to Hawking's articles in support of this claim, but to the quantum cosmologist Christopher Isham's article on the Hartle-Hawking theory.
So Craig misinterprets both Isham and Hawking; Hawking's theory does give us an unconditional probability that a Hawking-type universe begins to exist uncaused and Isham correctly recognizes and states this fact in his interpretation of Hawking's theory.

 A quantum leap for cosmology (November 2001) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
The conceptual structure of these approaches was further developed by Carlo Rovelli and others, while their mathematical structure has been clarified by Christopher Isham, Jeremy Butterfield, Fontini Markopoulou and collaborators.
Butterfield and Isham have also shown how an approach to quantum cosmology called "consistent histories" - originally applied to quantum cosmology by Murray Gell-Man and Hartle plus others - may be consistently reformulated as such a relational quantum theory.
Further progress was made by Markopoulou, who showed that the different regions associated with the different states can be specified in terms of the causal structure of a space-time.
