Dick's Sporting Goods ScoreCard Rewards
When I was a kid, I can't count the number of times my parents took me to Dick's. That is of course, Dick's Sporting Goods, 347 Court Street in Binghamton, NY. What's the relevance with that address? It was DSG's first and only store for decades — owned and operated by Mr. Dick Stack, and started as a bait and tackle shop in the late 1940's. His entrepreneurial-minded children eventually took over the business, brought the company public (NYSE: DKS), and now there's over 300 locations.
The ScoreCard Rewards Program is fairly rich program for any sports enthusiast. I say fairly because it takes $300 in spending to receive a $10.00 Rewards Certificate (sent to you automatically by US Postal Mail). What's the problem with the value proposition? DSG's has coupons in the marketplace for example, offering $10 off a $50 or more purchase. Needing to rack up $300 in purchases should provide far greater value than you'd receive from a coupon. I also question DSG business decision in mailing rewards certificates to its rewards earners. Although there are clear advantages (yes, still) with direct mail, the cost of print and mail clearly conflict with the advantages of in-store redemption. Offering a real-time reward a the point-of-sale (POS) is the holy grail for any retail rewards program. Offering a POS reward would be equivalent to watching the price drop at the pump for a fuel reward. DSG should consider real-time redemption as a future enhancement. The development to do so will be worth the investment, and it will score higher points with its rewards members.

End the Fedby Ron Paul
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the post-meltdown world, it is irresponsible, ineffective, and ultimately useless to have a serious economic debate without considering and challenging the role of the Federal Reserve.
Most people think of the Fed as an indispensable institution without which the country's economy could not properly function. But in END THE FED, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. It is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless. What most people don't realize is that the Fed — created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia — is actually working against their own personal interests. Congressman Paul's urgent appeal to all citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America's economic policy for future generations.

updated 31 January 2013
By Robin Mitchell-Boyask, Temple University. These materials are intended for the fair use of all students and teachers. Any links should be duly credited to the author, and students should always cite in papers any help this guide has given them. Note that the Perseus links for character information are not current. If you click on names you will need to type the character name into the Encyclopedia search window
Have you seen the new Epic Page? It includes wealth of on-line materials on Ancient Epic.
References will be to pages, not line numbers, in Robert Fagles' translation. Important names, ideas or words are underlined, indicating hyperlinks to further information. When using the hyperlinks you must remember that you will often read variants in the myths which Homer uses; try to figure out which departures are significant and which myths help you understand the Homeric versions better.
There is an on-line text with hyperlinks for more extensive study.
77 Invocation to the Muse; survey of Odysseus' condition in the 10th year of his wanderings. "The whole of the action and most of the principal persons are introduced in the first few hundred lines." (D. Page) What is missing from the proem (the opening lines)? How does it define Odysseus? Why is Poseidonangry? As you read on, ask whether the action goes as the proem says it will.
78-80 Council of the gods on Olympus. What types of gods does Homer present? How do they match your expectations? Why is Aegisthus singled out by Zeus? What kind of system of morality does Zeus invoke? Why is Athena so concerned with Odysseus? Why is Zeus so surprised with her plea? In the line ending her speech, the words "dead set against," odusso, puns on the hero's name
Are the concerns and behavior of the gods any different here than in the Iliad?
81-86 Athena goes disguised to Ithaca to see Telemachus and persuade him to seek news of his father. What is happening in Ithaca? What kind of person is Telemachus? How old is he? What does he need? Why does Athena mention Orestes to him? Is her story about him complete? And why start in Ithaca, not with Odysseus? Note the concern with hospitality, which will be a key theme throughout the epic.
88-9 Penelope is upset at the song of a bard who tells of the sufferings of the heroes. Telemachus replies that Zeus, not the bard, is to blame. Zeus earlier blamed humans for their sufferings. As you read the rest of the epic, think about whether Zeus or Telemachus is correct.
93-96 T. complains in the assembly of the suitors' bad behavior and smashes a scepter to the ground. Try to remember a similar scene of scepter-smashing in Homer and think about what point the poet might be trying to make with the comparison.
97-106 Athena, disguised as Mentor, appears to Telemachus and promises help. He sails off, after asking Eurycleia under oath of secrecy, to prepare provisions. Who is in charge in Ithaca? Where is O.'s father? Is T. just looking for O.? And why should Telemachus visit Nestor and Menelaus?
How has Penelope kept the suitors at bay for so long?
The travels begin. At each place, act as an anthropologist, noting the customs, landscape and character of the people; start with Ithaca itself. T. arrives first at the palace of Nestor. Why go there first? What is happening at Pylos as T. arrives?What do we learn about O. here? Note the gracious hospitality he receives from Nestor; compare T.'s reception of Athena earlier. Keep your eyes open for other such encounters. One thing to watch: when does the guest reveal his name? What sign does Nestor see as indicating Athena's presence?
124-34 T. and Pisistratus are welcomed at Sparta (Lacedaemon) by Menelaus and Helen, who recognize T.'s resemblance to his father. They all cry in grief over old memories, and Helen puts a soothing drug in their wine. Note the two stories told by Menelaus and Helen (note the importance of story-telling in general). What more do we learn about O. and about Agamemnon? Do you see any pattern in the accounts of the heroes as they return from Troy? Is Helen as you expect her to be? Is there anything strange about her marriage? Compare Sparta to Ithaca.
134-43 Menelaus predicts the destruction of the suitors and tells the story of his return, including the encounter with Proteus, who told him of the other homecomings. What do you make of Proteus?What are the functions of this episode? Note the Odyssean elements here. Do M and H deserve the happy afterlife Proteus predicts? In general, so you see any signs that Telemachus is maturing?
144-152 T is persuaded to stay in Sparta. The scene changes to Ithaca where the suitors plot to ambush T. en route home. Penelope is upset, but Athena cheers her with a dream. The ambush is laid. How many days are we into the story at this point? Try to keep track of this. We won't be seeing T again for a while.
152 Second council of the gods. Note the reference to Athena's plan. Hermes to order Calypso to send him home, and Hermes delivers the message. When was the first council? Are there any real differences from the first one? Why Hermes? Think about his functions.
What is the etymology of Calypso? Try to comment on the description of her domain. Is she a good hostess? Note her "feminist" complaint.
Why has Homer kept Odysseus from us for 4 books?
152-7 Calypso agrees, tells O to build a boat, and reassures him when he suspects treachery. The next day he departs. What is O's first utterance in the epic and what does it say about his attitude to other humans and to the gods? Why is he like this? Why does he reject Calypso's offer of immortality? Does this situation remind you of any other myths? Can they guide your interpretation of this episode?
161-7 As O sights the island of Scheria after 17 days, the home of the Phaeacians, Poseidon wrecks his boat. Why? The sea-goddess Leucothea (Ino) saves him, but in his near-paranoia, he almost rejects her help; again, as you read, think about how he has reached this point. Athena stills the storm, and he reaches the coast, finds shelter and falls asleep.
Note the similes in this book; are they different from the similes in the Iliad?. To what is O being compared?Why are these comparisons made?
In this book you read (at least) 2 indications of the seasons. What time of year do you think it is? (This is important for understanding some of the underlying mythic patterns).
168-72 Note the history of the Phaeacians early on, and consider whether this affects their reception of O. Athena visits Nausicaa, princess of Scheria, in a dream and tells her to go wash clothes at the river. She meets O (naked), who asks for help. What does Athena appeal to in Nausicaa? Try to visualize O's meeting with this young woman. What do we learn about O's character in this encounter? What information does he withhold?
172-8 O addresses Nausicaa; she gives him clothing and food, and instructs him on how best to approach her parents. Why does'nt she take him herself? On reaching the city, O waits outside in Athena's grove. Why do you think Athena fails to reveal herself to O? Describe Skheria.
O is hospitably received and promised convoy home. Queen Arete questions him and he describes how he came to Scheria. Who wears the pants in this family? Compare the reception with those we have seen so far. Note exactly what O says about himself. Is he a good guest? Who are the Phaeacians, anyway?
191-4 King Alcinous summons the Phaiakian assembly, which agrees to send Odysseus home by ship. Having returned to the palace, they're entertained by the singer Demodokos. Describe Demodocus, and think about any other figures that he suggests. O weeps at his song (why?), and, after being taunted, wins a discuss contest. Demodocus sings three songs that are thematically relevant to the epic as a whole.
194-210 Alcinous introduces exhibitions of dancing; Demodokos sings of Hephaestus' revenge on Ares and Aphrodite. Why does Odysseus react to this story differently? More dancing, and gifts for O. He now asks Demodocus for a certain story and weeps again. Alcinous questions him. Think about the content of the songs, O's response to them, and the epithets given to him in this book. What is going on? Do you recall another incident of weeping at dinner? Also, do you like the Phaeacians? Do they resemble any other group of people?
We are now 1/3 of the way through, and the epic can in fact be divided into three parts. In Book 9, we see Odysseus at the beginning of his return; in Books 5-8, near the end, 10 years later. Has he changed? How?
Try thinking again about Books 6-9 as an anthropologist might in investigating alien cultures. How would you categorize or classify these cultures? As always with myth, think about food. Why do you think Homer has put them all in the epic? Remember, Homer does nothing without cause.
Start thinking about the type of human being that Odysseus personifies and about the larger allegorical signifiance of his journeys. The Odysseus myth has influenced texts from Dante's Inferno, to Joyce's Ulysses, to Conrad's Lord Jim, to Huckleberry Finn -- even Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise (yes, think about that!) owes much of his identity to Odysseus.
Note exactly how O identifies himself, and how and where he begins his story (Compare it to Menelaus' account of their departure from Troy). Don't assume he's always telling the truth. Pay attention to what he says about his behavior and his awareness of his audience.
212 The attack on the Cicones: what happens?.
214 Storm; land of the Lotus Eaters.Think about the specific danger here.
215 The Cyclops. This is the key episode. Note the description of the island and the nature of Cyclopean society. Pay attention to O's behavior. Is it commendable? Is he a good guest? Is Polyphemus a good host? Look for mentions of Zeus and the guest-host relationship.What vice gets O into trouble? What virtue gets him out of it? What types of behavior are approved and condemned by this story? Does Odysseus' victory over the Cyclops, and the means he uses to achieve it, suggest any other myths? What is the significance of calling himself Nobody?
There are images of Odysseus' escape available.
230 Aeolus, king of the winds, receives O., and sends him off with a bag of winds, which his crew opens when he sleeps. Who is to blame here? Pay attention to the description of Aeolus' family.
231 O loses 11 ships in an attack on the Laestrygonians. Note his tactics.The remaining ship arrives at the island of Circe. The crew begins to rebel: why? Pay close attention to the description of her house and Circe herself. A reconaissance teamis turned into pigs, except Eurylochus who returns with the news. Odysseus rescues them. How? For how long do they stay there, and why?
Compare Circe, Nausicaa, and Calypso; which does O prefer and why? Are there any indications that Homer is aware of a 'double standard'?
245 O. insists on going (after how long?), so Circe tells him he must visit the Dead (but not why). As they leave, the helmsman Elpenor falls off the roof and dies. At this point do you see any similarities between Odysseus' journey thus far and Menelaus'?
Remember that O. is telling a story to an audience from whom he wants to obtain something, so pay close attention to how he shapes his story and their reaction to it. If you are unsure about the identity of some of those in Hades, look them up. In general, what does the journey to the Underworld symbolize?
249-60 Leaving Circe's island, O. sails to Hades. He performs the prescribed ritual, and meets: Elpenor, Tiresias, his mother, and a sequence of beautiful (of course) heroines, including Ariadne and Oedipus' mother, here called Epikaste. What does he learn from each? What impact do they have on him?
261-70 O. ceases his story to remind the Phaeacians of his eagerness to return home; they persuade (?) him to continue. The tone of the story changes: how? He tells of meeting Agamemnon, Achilles and Ajax, Minos and Heracles. Alarmed, O. departs. Consider why O. is there. Are his comrades from Troy the same? Which characters havee the greatest effect on him, and why? Remember the importance of mortality.
271-5 O and company return to Aeaea, bury Elpenor, and meet Circe, who warns of further dangers: the Sirens, Wandering Rocks, Scylla and Charybdis, the island of Thrinacria, and the ox herds of Helios.
276-83 O sets out; they pass the Sirens, Wandering Rocks and Skylla, reaching Thrinakria, where the crew kills the cattle of Helios, to whom Zeus then promises vengeance.
After 6 days the Greeks sail on, but a storm drowns all save O., who escapes Charybdis and drifts to Kalypso's island. This ends his story.
Why are the Sirens' songs so seductive, especially to Odysseus. Why doesn't O tell his crew all of Kirke's warnings? Does he follow all her advice himself? How is his crew like the suitors back in Ithaca? Has Odysseus' behavior changed after his experiences in Hades? How many people has Odysseus killed up to this point? How responsible are the men for their own deaths?
O. having received further presents, departs. He falls asleep (again!) on the voyage and they deposit him on the shore. Pay attention to Poseidon's anger and Zeus' attempts to calm him down. O. awakens unaware he is home unti Athena, in disguise, tells him. He pretends to be a violent Cretan fugitive (why?). Athena then reveals herself. Why does Athena treat him this way?Do you side with O. in his frustration? When was the last time he saw her? Here we encounter the first of O's "lying tales". Notice the others as they come in the next few books. Why does O lie? Is there any truth hidden in the lies?
Athena warns O. about the suitors (does he know this already?, and disguises him as a beggar. She goes to Sparta to fetch Telemachus. Consider: Odysseus as his own Trojan horse.
O. goes to the hut of Eumaeus, his swineherd, and is hospitably received. Eumaeus describes the suitors' arrogance, demonstrates his loyalty to O., and speaks of Telemachus' danger. O. signals who he is to Eumaeus; where? O. tells another elaborate tale about his identity and history, describing himself as a wandering Cretan, and mentioning that he has had recent news of O. Eumaeus refuses to believe this. After supper,O. hints about needing a blanket.
In Sparta Athena tells T. to return to home and advises him how to avoid the suitors' ambush. T., having said goodbye to Menelaus, is sent of with his presents, kind words and a favorable omen. He reaches Pylos via Pherae and rejoins the ship. How many days has it been since we last saw T.? Just before departure Theoclymenus, a prophet, persuades T. to take him aboard. Meanwhile, in Ithaca, O. offers to leave Eumaeus' hut, but is persuaded to stay. He inquires about his father and mother. Eumaeus tells his story. T. receives an omen upon arriving in Ithaca.
Eumaeus welcomes Telemachus, who asks who the disguised O. is. He leaves Eumaeus to tell Penelope he has returned. After Eumaeus leaves, Athena transforms O. into his true shape and father and son recognize one another. They plan the destruction of the suitors. Eumaeus a messenger from T.'s ship and they deliver their messages. The suitors, upset at their failure to kill T., discuss other ways. P. talks to the suitors. Eumaeus returns to O., who has been changed back to his disguise.
The next day, T. sets out for town, having given instructions that O. should be brought there too. Having brought Theoclymenus to the palace, he tells P. of his journey. Theoclymenus prophesies that O has already reached Ithaca. Think about P.'s reaction to this, and about her reactions over the next several books to news. The suitors amuse themselves, and Eumaeus arrives with the disguised O., whom the goatherd Melanthius mocks and attacks. Entering later, T. gives him food. Antinous provokes Eumaeus and T.intervenes. O. begs from Antinous who violently insults him, and P. prays for his death. She sends for O. to see if he has any news about himself! T. sneezes: a good omen. O. postpones his interview until the others have left. Eumaeus returns to his hut.
The beggar Irus insults O., who replies. What follows is a parody of a heroic duel. The suitors congratulate O., who tries to warn Amphinous of the coming vengeance. P., prompted by Athena, adorns herself and enters the hall, enticing the suitors to give her gifts. At evening, O. offers to look after the lamps for the serving-women, one of whom, Melanthos, insults him. O. threatens them. Eurymachus mocks O. and throws a stool at him (recalling which episode?) T. persuades to go home for the night.
As the story develops, think about the similarities and differences between P and O. Also, do you think P. "recognizes" O here in some way?
391 O and T, aided by Athena, remove all arms from the hall. P enters with her attendants. Melantho again insults O., who threatens her. P.converses with O.
396 In reply to her questions, O pretends to be a Cretan, after having protested providing any information. He describes a meeting with O. and predicts he will soon return. P. is dubious, but orders her guest be treated well.
402-3 Note the P almost recognizes O. O refuses to have his feet washed by anyone but Eurycleia. She bathes him and recognizes an old scar, whose origin Homer tells. What does this mythical digression say about Odysseus? O.prevents her from revealing his identity.
407 P.tells O of her anxieties and a strange dream. O interprets the dream, but she isn't convinced. She states her intention to hold a competition for her hand tomorrow and retires. Is there anything strange about her dream? Why does she suddenly decide to hold this contest?
Athena restrains O when the maidservants sleep with the suitors. P. prays for death, which O hears and he calls for a sign from Zeus. T enters in the morning and asks about O. Preparations are made for the festival of Apollo. Eumaeus returns and Melanthius again insults O. An omen dissuades the suitors from killing T, who defends O. One throws a cow's foot at O (Cyclopean?), which angers T. A strange momentary transformation of the scene is interpreted by Theoclymenus as a warning of coming disaster. The suitors laugh, while P listens sadly.
P.brings out O's bow and promises to marry whoever strings it and shoots through the row of axes. Eumaeus weeps. O.signals to T not to string the bow himself, after he almost succeeds (!). Leodes fails, predicting it will bring death to many; Antinous has the bow treated. O reveals himself to Eumaeus and Philoetius and warns them to prepare for action. Consider T's behavior throughout this book.
432 Eurymachus fails; Antinous suggests postponing the contest. O asks to be allowed to try. The suitors abuse him but Eumaeus brings the bow.
437 Eumaeus and Philoetius have the women removed and the doors locked. O strings the bow and wins with one shot. T arms and stands beside O.
439 O. shoots Antinoos and reveals himself. Eurymachus fails to appease him and is killed. T kills Amphinomus, and ties up Melanthius.
446 Athena helps O.(Is this a fair fight?) Leodes is killed, but Phemius and Medon are spared: why? All suitors die.
451-4 Eurycleia is summoned; note his rebuke of her victory cry (451). Has O changed? The 12 disloyal maids can the hall and then are hanged, while Melanthius is taken out and mutilated. O purifies the hall and Eurykleia summons P. How does O feel about all this. Has he changed since the Trojan War?
455-6 Eurycleia tells the incredulous P of O's actions; to what, exactly, does she finally respond? She enters the main hall. T is impatient with her, but O supports her reasoning. O takes precautions to keep the slaughter secret.
458-67 O, now royally dressed, convinces P he really is her husband. How does he do it? How does she test him? Think back to what O told Nausicaa about marriage; do those words apply here? He tells her about his adventures and they spend the night together. Consider P's reactions throughout this episode: are they believable? How does she "out-Odysseus" Odysseus here?
Some scholars have argued that the epic "should" end after Book 23, and that Book 24 is a later addition. What do you think? How different would the epic be without 24?
468-74 Hermes conducts the suitors souls to Hades, where Agamemnon, talking to Achilles, then praises P's fidelity. Compare the human perspective on his death with the divine one in Book 1: has the epic shifted focus from human-god relations to male-female?
475-80 O visits his father, telling him a false story before revealing himself. Why does he treat Laertes this way? Compare the different ways family members recognize O: what do these tell you about the strength of the different relationships?
481 The Ithacans, learning of the slaughter, march out to fight O. With Zeus' permission, Athena intervenes to save O, who goes to fight along with his father and son.Laertes kills Eupeithes. Athena intervenes and makes peace. Note that O still wants to fight. How does Athena discourage him? Is this ending believable in your eyes?

text: Brady Wants More Federal Prosecution Of Gun Crimes CHICAGO (AP) -- State Sen. Bill Brady wants federal authorities in northern Illinois to more "aggressively pursue'' prosecution of firearms offenses. The Bloomington Republican, who's mulling a gubernatorial run, says he'll file a resolution in the state Senate next week calling on both U.S. Illinois senators to consider that when making their recommendations for the next U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. Senators Mark Kirk and Dick Durbin make recommendations to President Barack Obama, who'll name former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's replacement. Brady called on Kirk and Durbin Monday to make sure they get a commitment from the new U.S. attorney to focus on prosecution of violent gun crime. Brady narrowly lost to Gov. Pat Quinn in 2010. Brady says he's considering a 2014 run but won't announce formally until June. 03 25 13 by Newsroom News management powered by Xpression News

Vatican names seven saints including first Native American
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict created seven new saints on Sunday including the first Native American to be canonized, as the Roman Catholic Church reaches out to its global flock to rebuff encroaching secularism.
The celebration of figures who had suffered to promote the faith comes as the Church begins a drive to reclaim flagging congregations in former strongholds in the face of sex abuse scandals and dissent against Church teachings.
Thousands of pilgrims from around the world converged on St. Peter's Square to witness the ceremony recognizing the saints, who included Kateri Tekakwitha, a sixteenth-century convert known as "Lily of the Mohawks".
The crowd included hundreds of pilgrims from the United States' 2.5 million-strong Native American population, of whom 680,000 are estimated to be Catholic, a legacy of the success of early missionaries in converting indigenous people in America.
Among them was a 12-year-old boy who survived a potentially fatal flesh-eating virus, which the Vatican attributed to miraculous intervention by Saint Kateri.
Many pilgrims waved the flag of the Philippines and held portraits of Pedro Calungsod, killed doing missionary work in 1672, who became the second Filipino saint. Others in traditional German dirndl dresses and leather shorts cheered as Pope Benedict welcomed them in his native tongue.
Portraits of the new saints, including French Jesuit Jacques Berthieu, Italian priest Giovanni Battista Piamarta, the Spanish nun Carmen Salles y Barangueras, and German laywoman Anna Schaffer hung from the marble facade of St. Peter's Basilica, and the crowds cheered as each name was called.
"Saint Kateri, Protectress of Canada and the first Native American saint, we entrust to you the renewal of the faith in the first nations and in North America! May God bless the first nations!" Pope Benedict said in his homily, in which he alternated between French, English, German and Italian.
Saint Kateri, born in 1656 in what is now New York to a Mohawk father and an Algonquin mother, impressed missionaries with her devotion, taking a lifetime vow of chastity and punishing herself by placing hot coals between her toes and sleeping on a bed of thorns.
When she died at the age of 24, witnesses said smallpox scars on her face disappeared, and people reported seeing visions of her.
This began a centuries-old tradition of veneration culminating with her canonization, bolstered by the survival of the Native American boy in 2006.
Jake Finkbonner, now 12 and recovered, travelled to Rome for the ceremony with hundreds of his Lummi tribe, from devout indigenous communities across the United States and Canada.
Dressed in fringed and beaded regalia with an arctic fox fur collar, Judy Arnouts of the Odawa tribe, whose native name is Bedaben, meaning Blessing of New Day, said the canonization of Saint Kateri was a boost to the Native American community.
"Our cultural and spiritual history needs to be upheld, celebrated and taught to our younger generation," said Arnouts, 68, who had travelled from Michigan to present Pope Benedict with a wood-burned cedar log she had made, a traditional craft.
Aida and Romy Javier, wearing Hawaiian garlands of flowers around their necks, were among scores of pilgrims who had travelled from the island to see the canonization of Marianne Cope, a German-born woman who founded a hospital in Hawaii in the 19th century.
"I will tell my children and grandchildren about this day," Aida Javier said, holding a portrait of Saint Marianne. "The reason they are called saints is because they suffered for the sake of Christianity and they didn't want to renounce the faith. This is important because it will make our faith stronger."
Five of the seven saints were important figures in the Church's history of missionary work, pointing to a theme for the Church as it enters what Pope Benedict has proclaimed a "year of faith", aimed at countering the rise of secularism.
The canonization ceremony came in the middle of a three-week meeting of hundreds of bishops at the Vatican on the theme of the "New Evangelisation", an effort to rejuvenate the Church and win back lapsed believers.
"These new saints, different in origin, language, nationality and social condition, are united among themselves and with the whole People of God in the mystery of salvation of Christ the Redeemer," Pope Benedict said.
"May the witness of these new saints, and their lives generously spent for love of Christ, speak today to the whole Church, and may their intercession strengthen and sustain her in her mission to proclaim the Gospel to the whole world."
(Editing by Alison Williams)
There are plenty of other organizations that spread the message of the Gospels and one can always read the Bible directly without the problem of donating to an unaccountable and petty fogging head office. Old world social welfare ala the Mafia is not acceptable today. There are too many other Christian communities and most Catholics, that are required to keep better financial records, and they don't consider it a mark of superior spiritual development to neglect good fiscal practice. In the real world they, and not the whistle blower, would go to jail or face penalties. It is one thing to "give the shirt", but organized (or disorganized crime) is too good at "cloak" theft and probably more business like and detached about it than the "victims". They know how to recognize the fattest, woolliest sheep when they see them.
Even the process of canonization of new saints was never something one would hear about until it was announced. Most of the time (over 30 years ago) I never heard of the people until they were suddenly "saints". No sermons were even delivered about them otherwise. It was always very dubious how well known or admired these people ever really were in their lives. Protestant churches do not believe in Roman style "sainthood".
The new saints "are united among themselves". They never met each other and didn't speak the same language – that statement makes no sense what so ever. The Saints may not have known what he was talking about either? If they were like most other Catholics I've known, they actually have a different "faith" depending on their age, the Churches they attended, their nationality and the attitudes of the priests that gave the sermons. Most died-in-the-wool Catholics can't seem to talk about their faith at all. It's a stone better left unturned. Faith doesn't seem to be something one can talk about at all, actually. The faith is more "united" on paper but Catholics still tend not to care too much about the written word.
Mr. Gabrielli isn't being pardoned? Does that mean the Vatican shipped him off to an Italian prison?
Benedict is not one of the better Pope's. He should go down in history as "the Panderer". He isn't doing Catholics any favors. Spiritual "desertification" (another article linked to this one) starts at the top and it's more advanced than in the Sahara. Anybody can write faux-spiritual sentiments.
Martha should be allowed to clean house because Mary is starting to hallucinate from certain toxic fumes emanating from the very dirty cloths of "Holy Mother" who, apparently, doesn't believe in clean laundry as much as Christ did? The contents of that "white sepulcher" are starting to stain the visible surface.
They spent a bundle on those tapestries but where they go after the ceremony is anybodies guess?
The first step in reining in these criminals is to make them accountable and then tax them.
Evil will use any means, including good deeds, to forward its agenda.

Copyright and Patent Laws Hurt the Economy
kdawson posted more than 5 years ago | from the speaking-sense-to-power dept.597
Norsefire writes "Two economists at Washington University in St. Louis are claiming that copyright and patent laws are 'killing innovation' and 'hurting [the] economy.' Michele Boldrin and David K. Levine state they would like to see copyright law abolished completely as there are other protections available to the creators of 'intellectual property' (a term they describe as 'propaganda,' and of recent origin). They are calling on Congress to grant patents only where an invention has social value, where the patent would not stifle innovation, and where the absence of a patent would damage cost-effectiveness."

Grid Storage Accounts for 2.3% of Total Electric Production Capacity in US
The Department of Energy released a Grid Energy Storage report that identifies the benefits of grid energy storage, the challenges that must be addressed to enable broader use, and the efforts of DOE, in conjunction with industry and other government organizations, to meet those challenges.
At present, the US has about 24.6 GW (about 2.3 percent of total electric production capacity) of grid storage, 95 percent of which is pumped storage hydro, while Europe and Japan have notably higher fractions of grid storage. Pursuit of a clean energy future is motivating increased storage development efforts in Europe and Asia, as well as the US.
Energy storage technologies - such as pumped hydro, compressed air energy storage, various types of batteries, flywheels, electrochemical capacitors, etc., provide for multiple applications: energy management, backup power, load leveling, frequency regulation, voltage support, and grid stabilization. Importantly, not every type of storage is suitable for every type of application, motivating the need for a portfolio strategy for energy storage technology.
According to the report, there are four challenges related to the widespread deployment of energy storage: cost competitive energy storage technologies (including manufacturing and grid integration), validated reliability and safety, equitable regulatory environment, and industry acceptance.

23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
Wolverine: What about Onslaught?There's a very strange relationship between character/plot development and maintaining the status quo. Changing said status, if done poorly, may result in a Dork Age. A Dork Age is a period in a franchise, especially Long Runners, where there was a dramatic change of concept or execution, usually to stay current, and it simply did not work. It could be an ill-advised "new direction". Or a costume change that was dated the instant it premiered. Maybe it's a timely gimmick that was dated five months before it premiered. Perhaps the character lost their trademark powers and went through a run of very different ones. Or there was a Retcon that revealed something that didn't quite gel, or attached a completely new mythos that came off as completely at odds with a character's history and overall mood. Sudden Genre Shifts. Clones. Scrappies. Romantic Plot Tumors. Many and unsubtle are the forms of the Dork Age. While this trope is most readily associated with fictional characters, note that musicians and other performers can enter Dork Ages as well. Especially when they try (and fail) to form a new and radically different onstage persona, experiment with a very different genre, or attempt to dramatically alter their entire image permanently, or a band loses a key member. You know a band is in its Dork Age if you, as a fan, are wholly unaware that they're still around and releasing albums. This fundamental change is often an attempt to attract new fans. Unfortunately, that usually does not work. Worse, the change does not go over well with the established fans. Generally, the more dramatically something diverts from its basics, the more likely it's the beginning of a Dork Age. Now a Dork Age isn't necessarily a bad idea - not in theory at least - but depending on how deep a legacy runs, it can make for a strange detour. Like its close cousin Jumping the Shark, it's much easier to spot in hindsight. The main clue that a Dork Age has happened is that it's mentioned as little as possible by newer writers. You can bet a series with Adaptation Distillation will never mention it. That said, often there will be a group of fans who remember the Dork Age with affection, and every so often there may be a Continuity Nod about it. Once enough distance has been put between the readers and the offending material, it'll usually be considered "safe" and people will start referring to it again, often in a self-deprecating jest. Part of the reason for this change in attitude is that, while a Dork Age is still ongoing, readers understandably fear that it will never end (at least not without taking the franchise with it) and that the franchise will be Ruined Forever. Once it has ended and the status quo safely restored, the entire incident can be remembered as just one self-contained story arc in the franchise's history, rather than a permanent drastic change. And much like Jumping the Shark, this is most evident and should be supported upon retrospect. A Dork Age can sometimes be a Franchise Killer, and also a result of Seasonal Rot, but quite often those involved learned their lesson and things will change upon recognizing the dork age. It's They Changed It, Now It Sucks when it really does suck. This trope's name evolved from the Wiz Kid Time Skip of BattleTech, which they called MechWarrior: Dark Age. You can see what the fans did there. Not to be confused with The Dark Age of Comic Books or The Dark Age of Animation, though anything that earns the label "Dark Age" is likely to overlap. Definitely not to be confused with Dogbert's condescending name for one of Dilbert's inventions. See also Fanon Discontinuity, Canon Discontinuity, Running the Asylum, and Early Installment Weirdness. If the causes of the Dork Age are visible in earlier, good installments (if to a much lesser degree), we can point to that as the Franchise Original Sin. Often happens because a Long Runner feels the need to say "We're Still Relevant, Dammit!", or because the creator had a Tough Act to Follow. See Dead Horse Genre for the musical era equivalent. This can be a lucky case of Jumping the Shark and surviving later. Speaking of sharks, see Voodoo Shark for a similar trope applied specifically to plot devices. For the network equivalent (though it is somewhat more akin to Jumping the Shark or Seasonal Rot) see Network Decay.
Beast: We just pretend that never happened... for the Professor's sake.

The last Harry Potter movie is being released today and I find myself feeling strangely sad. As someone who doesn't even particularly love the movies, this is a pretty odd sensation.
I started reading Harry Potter in 1999. I was almost the same age as the characters and it all felt so deliciously real. I devoured the first book and immediately demanded the second. Luckily, it had just come out, and in a matter of a day or two, I had finished that one too. Then came the waiting for the publication of the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
I just finished reading the book Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean and all I can say is - WOW. I haven't read one of these "bodice-rippers" in a long time. I went back and forth between laughing and fanning myself and sighing and crying! Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always been a good girl, and always does the right thing. Deciding it is time for a change, she makes a list of things she must do in her life to satisfy her so she can truly be happy. She wasn't counting on the charming and devastatingly handsome, Gabriel St.
The final Harry Potter movie is coming out this month. If you liked reading the Harry Potter series and the Chronicles of Narnia series, try reading The Magicians by Lev Grossman. This is a book about magic with dark overtones. The main character, Quentin, is a high school senior who has always loved the "Chronicles of Fillory" and feels disconnected with his world. He goes for a college interview only to find the interviewer dead and a strange paramedic there who gives him an envelope that leads him to Brakebills, a college for magicians.
What's a good book to read reminds me of a person standing in front of an open refrigerator asking what's good to eat. In both cases the answer depends on the person's mood and taste. Is the person looking for something sweet or spicy? Substantial or indulgent? Comforting or unusual? Both food and books can have these characteristics. Moods and tastes can also change during the year. The person who wants to read light romances in summer may change to suspense by Halloween, then inspirational stories for Christmas, followed by acclaimed literary novels, and then an intriguing biography.
Every year I say to myself: keep track of everything you read. Write down every title and author. Each year around March I realize I forgot to do it. Last year, I finally started—in June. It has been an exciting and interesting way to track what I'm reading and how much I read. The journal has shown me that I average a book a week.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips (SEP to her fans who are known as "Seppies") has a new book out titled Call Me Irresistible. If you enjoyed her previous book, What I Did for Love, you will love this one too. The small Texas town of Wynette wasn't prepared for the whirlwind named Meg Koranda. When Meg arrives to be maid of honor at her best friend's wedding - to the town's golden boy - she creates turmoil everywhere she goes.
This book is a little different from what I usually read, but I like to read books that have a Wisconsin connection. The author Madeleine Roux went to Beloit College and started a fiction blog which is the basis for this book. The main character Allison is a graduate student in Madison and working at a bookstore when the zombie apocalypse breaks out. She is able to connect to the Snet—a secret military emergency Internet—when she can find electricity to recharge her laptop computer and write her blog.
Did you ever dress up in one of your Mom's old dresses and play "wedding" as a child? I know I did. Our poor family dog had to endure hours of wearing one of Dad's ties in my pretend weddings. Every once in a while a book series comes along that has all the right ingredients for a romance lover like me. Nora Robert's takes those childhood dream weddings and brings them to life in the pages of her Bride Quartet series.
The Fond du Lac Public Library hosts four adult book discussion groups every month. New members are welcome at any time:
I enjoy reading books that have a Wisconsin connection. By that I mean the book has a Wisconsin setting or the author is from Wisconsin. I just finished reading a new book, Wingshooters by Nina Revoyr. The author grew up in Japan, Wisconsin, and California, and the book is set in central Wisconsin. There are autobiographical elements in Wingshooters. Both the author and the main character have a Japanese mother and a white American father and have English Springer Spaniel dogs.

Adam Le Fondre reveals Man Utd rejected him when he was young
2/18/13 in Soccer | KurtKingsley | 1858 respect
Reading's goal-scoring machine Adam Le Fondre has revealed he was snubbed by Manchester United after a six-week training session with the Premier League leaders. The striker admitted he was dejected by the rejection as he had scored a hat-trick in the trial game for Manchester United when he was seven years old.
"I was devastated when they pulled me aside and said I was not being taken on," Adam Le Fondre said ahead of the FA Cup fifth round clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old striker, who has made most of his appearances of the bench, is the leading goalscorer for Reading in the Premier League with 10 goals from 24 games. Interestingly, Adam Le Fondre came off the bench 16 times in those 24 games. For this reason, Adam Le Fondre has gained reputation for being a super-sub, which is something Manchester United forward Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was famous for.
"I know Solskjaer made his name as a sub, but I do not want to do that. I want to start. It has always been my dream to score at Old ¬Trafford. Eric Cantona and Brian McClair were my -heroes. My dad is a massive supporter as well, so it will be a very special game," Adam Le Fondre added.
In response to Adam Le Fondre's claim, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson rejects speculation that he had the opportunity to sign him in. Nonetheless, The Scotsman admitted he had nothing but praise for the striker. Adam Le Fondre has become an integral part of Reading's team, who have been defeated only twice in the past eight Premier League games.
"I watched Le Fondre when he was at Stockport. It's a big jump to come from Stockport to the Premier League. You've got to give the boy credit," Sir Alex Ferguson said in an interview to Manchester United's official website.
"I think Le Fondre has done most of his scoring in the home games and he's scored late goals for them. It's been a turnaround for Brian McDermott since Christmas. It looked as if they were destined to go down but now they're rescuing games in the last few minutes."

W7 Professional 64
Is it possibel to use same license of W7 for a dual boot on same box?
I am having problem with my OS - Windows 7 professional. I have a lot of software set up on it. Software runs fine it's the OS that is getting quircky. I want to run a second copy of Windows 7 on a dual boot setup for testing.
Can I set up a dual boot with the same copy of Windows 7 running on the second drive, or will I have a licensing issue when I try to activate the second copy of Windows 7, even though it is running on same CPU?

I can't speak of the problems you might have, but you are legally required to have a separate license for each active copy of Windows 7, even if it is on the same PC.

Recently I've been seeing some squabbling, both on the comments section of some Asian dramas' streaming sites & on Tumblr even. Problem: The subbing team hasn't been working fast enough to provide English subs & the fans who are handicapped at the language is dying from the tedious wait.
While some subbers have retaliated, saying stuff like, "Subbers don't have nothing else to do. We have lives too!", here's my two cents on this. Please don't bother getting mad at me (just in case you're a subber) because it's just a little opinion.
Some fans (of the show) were definitely wrong when they started running around hounding for the subs continuously. We get it, it's irritating & it's not the way to show your gratefulness to someone who's going to sub your beloved show. However, I feel some subbers have to understand the frustration of the fans. It's like waiting in a bloody long queue & being kinda unsure when the end is going to arrive. That has got to be frustrating too.
Subbers of course, have their own lives. But if you'd allow me to be more crude, subs coming in a week after the show has aired…is kinda late (I'm talking about Ikemen Desu ne here, no offence to any subber of that show). I personally waited for the subs till day 3, before I gave in & just watched the raw thing. I'm fine because I know pretty-okay Japanese but for the others who don't, it's annoying for them. What I'm saying is: If you're going to do the job, do it right & do it seriously.
Some have also complained that "rather than continuously egging the Subbers to do a faster job, why not thank them instead for their past effort?" Well, yes we should all thank these dedicated guys who work hard at bringing us these subs, but you don't always expect a thank you from every single person who's watched the show w/ subs do you? Just like you don't always say I Love You to your parents everyday, despite knowing that they're working damn hard each day for you.
Well that's just a rant. I don't like seeing a war between the fans & the subbers, just sayin'.

Over the last month or so, VictoryBellRings.com has unintentionally become primarily, though not exclusively, a recruiting-based website. This is partially due to the lack of stories pertaining to football and partially to the time of year when recruiting is just ending for one class and beginning for the next.
While I have received some positive feedback from the recruiting information, I do realize that a faction of people have no interest in recruiting and prefer to read about that which is already Penn State. Obviously, the big Junior Day on Saturday will warrant coverage regardless, but I want your opinions going forward.
Do you like the heavy flowing recruiting updates? Would you prefer detailed bios of the coaching staff and polls about Penn State history? This isn't an "end-all" type of poll and nothing will ever be excluded from this site, I just want to know which way to lean.
When I started writing here, I wanted to make this a site FOR Penn State fans, so I am calling on you, now.

- Answer:
This is one of those situations where the whole "If the main character could be a white dude then it probably will be, but if the main character could be a person of color, then it probably won't be" Hollywood trope comes in. Especially in tragedy movies.
Sure, a movie about the genocide in Tibet could feature a Tibetan main character, but let's make the character a white guy. Want to make a movie about the Indian Ocean tsunami set in Thailand? Sure, the family the story follows could be a Thai family, but why do that when you can feature European tourists (and anglicize them, to boot)? Want to tell a story about the Rape of Nanking? We could focus on the women, white and Chinese, in Nanking at the time of the mayhem, or we could make up a completely made up white man and make the movie about him!
Because white folks were there, too! Sure, they weren't the ones who bore the brunt of these tragedies—not the ones facing genocide, not their cultures or homes or countries being systemically destroyed. But a non-zero amount of them were there, so that's accurate.
And you can always find opportunities to plug them in—even if you have to make up a white male character—because they could have been there. That's why when Hollywood wanted to adapt the story of Chong Kim—an Asian American trafficking survivor—they wanted to create a heroic white male rescuer to save the woman who, in real life, saved herself.
So if you want to make a movie about this huge natural disaster and how the mismanagement of it was one of the most egregious examples of institutionalized racism in modern American history, sure, you could make it about some of the real people who were affected by the double whammy of natural disaster and systemic racism.
Or you could create a completely fabricated story starring a completely fabricated white dude character. After all, many of the people impacted by Hurricane Katrina were white. And you can bet that if a movie is made about it, it will be a story about someone who looks like them. Even if Hollywood has to make one up.
I wholeheartedly agree that the live-action "Akira" remake should just be re-named "Randy."
I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again: Hollywood can make a movie set anywhere in the world, in any era of history… and still somehow find a way for the movie to star a white guy. Always.
In a lot of ways Piper was my Trojan Horse. You're not going to go into a network and sell a show on really fascinating tales of black women, and Latina women, and old women and criminals. But if you take this white girl, this sort of fish out of water, and you follow her in, you can then expand your world and tell all of those other stories. But it's a hard sell to just go in and try to sell those stories initially. The girl next door, the cool blonde, is a very easy access point, and it's relatable for a lot of audiences and a lot of networks looking for a certain demographic. It's useful.
Hollywood eventually came calling. Kim was approached by various writers and producers who wanted to adapt her story, frequently inserting male characters in savior roles.
"They wanted to keep the Asian girl," Kim recounts, "but have someone like Russell Crowe or Johnny Depp to play an undercover cop or a customer and go after these people, and he meets Eden and he's so captivated. First of all, I never had a love story like that …" Kim begins.
Chung chimes in, "I love how men love to romanticize being a customer and then falling in love and rescuing the girl. It's like, that shit never happens. Noble guys don't go to brothels."

you plan for disaster recovery?? To me, this is just as big of a computer
security risk, as someone breaking into your computer systems. Has it become
to complex? Are we just playing down the issue? In the old days with
mainframe computers it was pretty straight forward..however today..different
In my current job, I am a firewall administrator and also head up a team for
the deployment of intrusion detection and penetration security tools. I am
still baffled that no one in IT seems to care much about disaster recovery.
Maybe, I am just not hanging out with the right types of IT folks. However,
I have worked for a number of companies and disaster recovery, just does not
seem to be an important issue when you think about computer security.
