Warner Brothers is said to have purchased the rights to a script The Imitation Game by screenwriter Graham Moore about British mathematician Alan Turing who made many important contributions to computer science. Leonardo DiCaprio is supposedly interested in playing Turing and is "chasing the project" and Ron Howard is rumored to be interested in in directing. The script is based on the Andrew Hodges' 2000 biography Alan Turing: The Enigma.

Turing is the famous English mathematician who made significant contributions to computer science in the 30s and 40s, including formalizations of computing and algorithms with the Turing machine and early work on Artificial Intelligence. During World War II he was was also a senior member of the British codebreaking and cryptanalysis group at Bletchley Park that broke the codes for the German Enigma machine.

Turing was prosecuted by the British government in 1952 for being a homosexual which is thought to be the cause of his apparent suicide by cyanide poisoning in 1954. In 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologized on behalf of the British government for the way in which Turing was treated after the war.

Thanks to MittRomneyCentral!

It looks like Mitt Romney is the “it boy” again. The former Governor of Massachusetts hit a few rough patches this debate season, most notably when Texas Governor Rick Perry entered the race.

It’s also worth noting that Public Policy Polling puts Herman Cain in the lead, and Rasmussen puts Cain and Romney in a dead heat for victory in the primary. Questions linger about Cain’s realistic chances as the GOP nominee in 2012.

The below video from TPM presents an interesting theory about Romney’s overall strategy. Thoughts?

While we’re on the topic of Cain and Romney, my personal favorite part of this season has been the hushed concerns about Mr. Romney’s religion of choice. Look for a followup post about “The Mormon Question.”

This video is an oldie but a goodie.

It’s as relevant today as it was when it first aired.

Check it out and tell us what you think.

For those who don’t want to click through, it’s a video of a little girl asking Wall Street bankers if they have exploited anyone today. And if so, who?

Mark 2:1-5 (NIV)

1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Reflection:

How easily it could have been for the four friends to turn away and give up because of the large crowds. Imagine the surprise of the paralyzed man when he first heard of the idea of being lowered down from the roof into a standing room only home. The need of the paralyzed man moved his friends (filled with faith) to action, and that resulted in some extraordinary measures to do whatever it took to bring him to Jesus.

What do we do when we see the needs of our friends? There is so much need around us (physical and spiritual). May we be filled with faith, being moved to compassionate action and bringing others to Jesus.

Responding to the Transmission:

What an adventure we are being invited into as a people of God, His church - to live a life of faith that is empowered to exhort to extraordinary measures - for ourselves, our friends, our families, our co-workers. Let’s take risks and be persistant (not giving up in the face of obstacles) to bring those that need a touch from our Lord to Him. And remember that the Lord is able to bring healing and salvation to the ones that come to Him. Let us pray for them.
