 The Long Winters : ultimatum
Ultimatum is a spare six-song snapshot of the oblique and poetic-minded side of astounding songwriter and Winters bandleader John Roderick.
At times sparse, at times warmly lush, this collection of songs is always intensely beautiful, stretching from simple vocal-and-guitar folk balladry to orchestral grandeur to band-driven electro psych-pop and largely leaving aside the guitar pop rave-ups with which Roderick is equally comfortable.
The band's first release since 2003’s when I pretend to fall, the EP is an enticing set-up for the band's upcoming '06 full-length and that rarest of things: an EP that stands on its own as a great record from a band that has already set a high standard for themselves.

The ultimatum game is an experimental economics game in which two parties interact anonymously and only once, so reciprocation is not an issue.
The classical explanation of the Ultimatum game as a well-formed experiment approximating general behaviour often leads to a conclusion that the Homo economicus model of economic self-interest is incomplete.
The first Ultimatum game was developed in 1982 as a stylized representation of negotiation, by Güth, Werner, Schmittberger, and Schwarze.

 The Iraq Ulitmatum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
We should present Saddam with a serious, final ultimatum for toughened up inspections and real disarmament and go to war if he refuses it or subsequently fails to cooperate with the inspectors.
Launching a pre-emptive war without issuing such an ultimatum would deprive us of the strong international support we will surely need to make such a war as quick, decisive, and bloodless as possible and to ease the task of stabilizing Iraq under a new government thereafter.
Not toughening up the ultimatum, relative to the standing offer we have made Saddam on inspections, would risk a meaningless disarmament process followed by a premature lifting of sanctions on Iraq while Saddam is still in power.

Seizing the opportunity presented by Ferdinand's assassination (who in any event had not been viewed with any great favour, either by Franz Josef or by his government), the Austro-Hungarian government decided to settle a long-standing score with near-neighbour Serbia.
The ultimatum was presented by the Austrian government to Belgrade on Thursday 23 July 1914 at 6 p.m.
The text of the ultimatum follows, as does the Serbian response, which virtually conceded all demands made by the Austro-Hungarians bar one or two minor clauses.

 July Ultimatum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Austro-Hungarian Ultimatum to Serbia or July Ultimatum was an ultimatum or final list of demands delivered to the government of Serbia on July 23, 1914, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo.
The document was described as "the most formidable document that was ever addressed from one state to another" by British Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey, and the ultimatum was widely considered to be unfulfillable, and merely a preliminary measure to create a casus belli to enable Austria-Hungary to invade and punish Serbia.
The Serbian government reservedly accepted all of the conditions of the ultimatum, except for the condition of including Austria-Hungary in Serbia's judicial inquiry (demand 6), which Serbia indicated would be unconstitutional and a violation of its sovereignty.

 murcof, ultimatum
Jelinek's work on "Maiz" is perhaps the standout moment on the recent "Utopia" cd - his deep jazz crackle and pregnant double-basslines working wonders with Murcof's own take on sublime scene-setting, creating a blissed-out weave of smokey textures and moving harmonies, awesome stuff.
Deathprod's re-structuring of "Utopia", meanwhile, burdens the cinemascopic tones of the original with a larger-than-life drift of breathless drones and stretches of heavy, ethereal spaces that are typical of his hugely acclaimed and scarce work for Rune Grammafon.
As for the two new tracks, both "Una" and "Ultimatum" whet the appetite for Murcof's hugely anticipated new material - masterful, evocative, moving music that we can't wait to hear more of.

Hailing from the relatively un-metallic region of New Mexico, Ultimatum has been toiling in the Christian metal underground since their inception in 1992, with three albums to their credit thus far.
Their style is rooted in 80's Bay Area thrash, with perhaps a nod toward bands such as Metal Church, and they managed to recruit Steve Souza of Exodus as guest vocalist!
That notwithstanding, Ultimatum is a fine thrash band who who should appeal to old-school thrash fans.

 FAIR MEDIA ADVISORY: Will the War Begin With a Big Lie?
George W. Bush's March 17 speech has been boiled down to one blunt statement: "Saddam Hussein and his sons must leave Iraq within 48 hours.
Presumably because the White House knew that the media would find the drama of the ultimatum irresistible, and would therefore frame the upcoming war not as a choice that Washington was making, but as a final test for Saddam Hussein.
Media have by and large failed to challenge this spin campaign, and continue to frame the story as a "defiant" Saddam Hussein spurning the last chance for peace.
