What if... ETERNAL TIDE SPOILERS

I am sorry Chris there is nothing worthy about Kirk's death. Icons need to go out saving something huge.
He saved a whole planet.
Just look at how Superman was killed, it was a blaze of glory and in a way no one else could. Kirk deserved the same treatment. He is an icon of the highest order.
See, that's just it. That was never what he was meant to be. Roddenberry specifically created
Star Trek
to get away from the larger-than-life, cartoony melodramas that dominated TV science fiction. He saw no reason why a futuristic setting couldn't be approached with the same character realism and maturity as any adult drama, whether a cop show or a courtroom show or a Western or a hospital show. The characters weren't meant to be exaggerated fantasy heroes; they were meant to be realistic human beings who simply happened to live and work on a spaceship in the future. Kirk was meant to be an everyman protagonist, not Flash Gordon.
And Kirk himself was the last person who would've defined himself as some grand, larger-than-life hero. As far as he was concerned, he was just a man dedicated to doing his duty. As long as he made a difference, that was all that mattered to him. And so that's what matters to me. I don't give a fig about spectacle or pandering to the audience; what matters to me is whether the
is effectively served. To me, the most telling moment in Kirk's final battle is when Picard has just pulled him off the rickety bridge that almost killed him... and without a second's hesitation,
he climbs right back onto it!
He's just been rescued from the jaws of death and leaps right back in without pause, because he's still got a job to do. It's the very casualness of that self-sacrifice, the
of hoopla surrounding that critical moment of decision, that made it such a powerful statement of who James Kirk was. Not some larger-than-life cosmic hero, but just a man who unhesitatingly put others before himself. That simple devotion to helping others is, to me, infinitely more spectacular than all the grand space battles and explosions you could possibly throw into a movie.
Now, I understand that this is all about perspective so there may not be a "right answer" here, but from my point of view, Kirk got the shaft. It would have been so much sweeter if he had died saving the universe instead of a planet and a people that we have never heard of.
And I think that's just far too melodramatic, and rather a ludicrous over-escalation compared to other Trek movies. The most Kirk ever saved from immediate peril in any prior movie was the Earth, although one could surmise he averted possible, more widespread destruction in the future by stopping Khan and Kruge from getting the Genesis Device, by keeping the Sha Ka Ree "god" from getting a starship, and by staving off war with the Klingons. Still, he never faced an existential threat to even the galaxy, let alone the whole universe (unless you count "The Alternative Factor," which contradicts the rest of Trek canon in a number of ways and is probably apocryphal, not to mention completely idiotic).
Now this does not make these people irrelevant or less deserving of needing to be saved, but I think that the story to kill off Kirk needed to be grander.
Pardon me for being harsh, but having suffered the death of my father only a couple of years ago, I feel quite strongly about this: I'm frankly repulsed by the concept that death should be portrayed as "grand" or good in any way. Death is an ugly, painful, frustrating thing. It
. It's supposed to. Glamorizing death is an idea that disgusts me. We
be angry when the characters we care about are taken from us. We
feel that it's a waste and a lost opportunity. Because that's an honest portrayal of what death is. Painting it as some noble, grand, triumphant thing that we can feel good about is simply a lie. We should celebrate the
of the people we care about. That's the part that can be grand and noble and worthy of our admiration.

Ladder Golf
Many are the varieties and approaches to ladder golf. You might begin reading about how you can make your own, traditional version of Ladder Golf.
Or, you might consider the immediate satisfaction gained from purchasing this ready-made version, called Top Toss, which has the added benefit of a less-than-traditional trapezoidal design for that "I really deserved that score" feeling.
Or, perhaps you might consider reading the Wikipedia article to find out all about the rules and origins and stuff.
You might even consider something like the "Spin-It " version of the game, which, as you can so clearly see from the thoughtfully attached illustration, has 4 different goals (each a different color), on a wheel-like apparatus which turns as soon as a bolo attaches itself, thus, giving rise to a different goal of a different color and scoring value, or not, depending on how many bolos therefrom append.
How potentially fun is that?

The Highest-Bouncing Inflatable Ball Ever Made!
Introducing the Hyper-Charged, Extreme-Bounce Sky Ball and Jumbo Sky Ball!
The Hypercharged Sky Ball from Maui Toys bounces like no ball you've ever bounced or kicked before! The Sky Ball is reported to bounce higher than a 1.5 inch Superball, which set the record for the highest bounce in 1965, and both regular and Jumbo Sky Ball are definitely more fun to play games with than a solid ball the size of a chestnut. AND the Sky Ball is SUPER TOUGH with no valve to leak! Kick them! Hit them! Bat them! Stand on them! Play catch! Play dodgeball! Try Hyper-Charged tennis! The Sky [Ball] is the limit! You can have lots of Sky Ball fun in water too!
Inflated with helium and leak-proof unless punctured, the Sky Ball and the Jumbo Sky Ball have Hyper-Charged floating, too! We don't have a swimming pool here, but we have observed the Sky Ball and the Jumbo Sky Ball jump 6 inches past the surface when released from the bottom of a water-filled sink. (Check back soon for videos of further testing.)
Sky Ball Quick Info
- Made of ultra-tough rubber polymer skin and filled with helium and air
- Lightweight, yet ultra-durable and extremely bouncy!
- Kick it, throw it, punch it, bat it, bounce it! Lots of fun! ***We drove over a SkyBall with a small car, and it did not burst! We may try a bigger car later.
- Lots bouncier than a tennis ball, or any other ball!
- Available from us in 4" and 5" sizes in an array of colors. (We can't guarantee your color of choice, but we'll try!)
- The 5" Jumbo SkyBall is 2x as big as the 4"
Sky Balls are made of an ultra-tough, hi-tech, rubber-like polymer skin filled with compressed helium to give them a ridiculously high bounce from floor, foot, bat, racket, or whatever else. They even go farther than a regular ball just by being thrown! They're weird, they're tough, and they're FUN! They make people smile! Get one! Or More!
Sky Balls do not float like helium balloons, or anywhere close; if you drop one, it will fall like a rock... and then bounce back up higher than it seems like it should! If you hit one with a plastic bat or a tennis racket, it will fly a long way!
A Sky Ball will not leak at all, ever. There is no valve or other disruption of the thick Sky Ball bubble to let it leak. If something were to puncture the skin of the ball, like a rottweiler, then the gasses just *PHOOSH* out and the ball goes limp; there is no explosion and no potential danger. Things like rose bushes or broken glass on pavement will not puncture a Sky Ball unless you intentionally make it happen. The "ultra-tough, hi-tech, rubber-like polymer" is no joke, either. They are very tough and unlikely to be damaged by anything short of an ice pick, a lawnmower, or a dog.
We offer Sky Balls in 2 sizes: 4" and 5". (The 5" is twice as big as the 4".)
Apparent Mechanism of Sky Ball Operation:
The two everyday items that a Sky Ball can most easily be compared to are the helium balloon and the standard tennis ball. Sky Balls are similar to helium balloons in that they are a rubber bubble filled with helium for the purpose of weight reduction. Sky Balls are also similar to tennis balls (or any other inflatable sports ball) because they are very bouncy due to compressed gas inside and because they do not at all float on air.
Since a helium balloon's rubber weighs virtually nothing, and the gas inside it weighs less than Earth's atmospheric air, it will float up, into the air and off into the sunset if you let it. When the helium starts to escape and the balloon gets to the exact weight of atmospheric air, it will just float in the air without rising of falling. At this point, if you try to bounce it or throw it, it won't go very far at all. It will move a few inches and then be slowed to a stop by air resistance because it has no mass to store kinetic energy and keep it plowing through the air, kind of like trying to throw a dandelion or a corn flake against the wind.
On the other hand, a tennis ball will bounce way up into the air, or fly a long way through wind if thrown. But it will not, of course, float on air at all and will be brought back down to the earth quickly by the forces of gravity.
The Sky Ball does not float on air, either, but it comes closer to floating than a tennis ball because it's filled with helium. So the Sky ball has the plus of helium lightening its weight, but the mass of the thick rubber to absorb kinetic energy. Think of a helium balloon again that has enough helium in it for it to just float mid-air without rising or falling. Now imagine the Goodyear blimp floating in the same way, a few feet off the ground. The Goodyear blimp has 13,000 lbs of mass eben though it's floating on air. If you were to blow on the balloon, would it move? Yes, of course it would. It has almost no mass at all and is floating in air. It would easily move. If you were to then blow on the Goodyear blimp, would it move? No, of course not. It weighs 13,000 lbs. Next, let's imagine that you are running with the balloon in your hand and you let go of the balloon. Will it keep going the same speed and direction for a while, then gradually slow down and stop? No. It has no mass. It will be stopped by air resistance almost as soon as you let go of it. Now imagine that you running along, pushing the Goodyear blimp! If you got up to your running speed and quit pushing the blimp, would it react the same way as the helium balloon and stop moving as soon as you quit pushing? No, or course not. It weighs 13k pounds, so it will take a while for it to be slowed by air resistance and come to a stop.
What does this have to do with the Sky Ball?
The first thing most people do when they see a Sky Ball is to hold it out at shoulder height, then drop it to see how high it bounces. This test of bounciness is flawed and does not at all illustrate the Hypercharged property of the compressed helium, and here is why: If an object has less weight, like a bubble or a half-inflated helium balloon, it will fall with less force than an object that weighs more, like a tennis ball. When you drop a tennis ball, it hits the floor harder than a bubble or a Sky Ball, so it has more energy returned to it to propel it back upwards. The helium Hypercharge of the Sky Ball is then wasted, and the Sky Ball will bounce only a few inches higher than the tennis ball because it didn't kit the ground as hard.
BUT, if you gently (or not gently) throw the tennis ball and the Sky Ball at the floor, the Sky Ball will bounce MUCH higher. That's because, even though the ball has less weight pulling down on it, it still has the mass of its thick shell that will carry the kinetic energy to be reversed when it hits the ground.
The Point:
Dropping a Sky Ball doesn't make it work. Rolling the Sky Ball in grass doesn't make it work. Underhand passes across the living room don't make the Sky Ball work. You have to hit it, or bounce it, or throw it with some force to truly appreciate the Sky Ball.
Scientific Evidence:
None. It just makes sense to me. Get yourself a Sky Ball and test my theory, then report back with your results! Any scientific dissertations submitted will be reviewed, possibly understood, and most likely posted.

By JULIANNE FITZGERALDSandy
On Jan. 20-22, the peace alliance held its first strategic planning session for state coordinators in its campaign for a U.S. Department of Peace and Nonviolence.
I was among 32 state coordinators who, applying shared leadership and nonviolent communication led by skilled facilitators of the peace alliance (some paid staff, some volunteer staff), truly created a culture of peace in this process. The grass-roots campaign to promote a culture of peace through establishing a United States Department of Peace, including a secretary of peace position at the cabinet level, began just a couple years ago and has been gaining momentum exponentially each year.
The means to the end includes having a team of citizens working with a team leader in all 435 U.S. congressional districts, to both spread the word about the current legislation (H.R. 3760, S.1756) and, if they agree, to urge their representatives to support it.
The first formal proposal for the establishment of an official U.S. Government Peace Department dates to 1792, created by Mr. Benjamin Banneker and Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. George Washington liked this idea and representatives have introduced bills more than 140 times in our nation's history. Why hasn't it passed? We, the people, haven't asked for it.
I want to know why violence is so acceptable in our culture, why we are looked upon (rightfully, statistically) as being the most violent country in the world! I want to know why we are in such intense denial around this fact. I want to know why the term "civilized," as in "western civilization" has wholly lost its meaning. I want to know why we have the highest incarceration/imprisonment rate out of all industrialized nations.
Why do we have more gang violence than any other country? I want to know why we have some of the highest incidence of domestic violence, violence against children (in schools and homes) and the elderly.
The Department of Peace is a paradigm shift for our country. Together, the people of this powerful nation can make a statement to the world. It is time to come together for all our sakes, our children and our children's children.
Please support the DOP and give peace a chance.

48hrs of tristate - THree days of passion
Kyle and Kristen Mehling have participated in several 48HRS of Tristate drives. They made it to the kickoff breakfast on the first day of the 2012 edition. According to Kyle Mehling, "The brand attracts people who are enthusiastic: They enjoy their local outdoors, and they like to give back to the community. They volunteer their time and effort, whether it be animal shelters, food donations, and, in this case, the American Cancer Society. This event encompasses all those people.
"What's fun is to meet the new people there, who haven't done it before. When we go over how the drive is going to go, you can see the new, eager people have no idea what's in store the next few days. Maybe it's the first time in their lives they've ever seen 45 Subaru vehicles rolling into a parking lot together and taking off together. That's an exciting sight for the new people, young or old – the camaraderie of the event."
This was reinforced by fellow participants Justin and Beth Williams, Ray LeFever, Allisa Hiland, Jason Kainu, and Nichole Tucker. They all met on the drive four years ago and have become friends. They return each year especially to spend time together; it's the only time they get to see each other.
People grow with this event. According to Mehling, "We're a perfect example of that. We were a young couple when we started out, and now we have our baby with us. It's something we wouldn't miss. We started the third year."

First off I apologize for the missing update yesterday. Computer and
Twitter connection woes caused their share of issues. Maybe its all that
volcanic ash...
Death At A Funeral finished the week with 1,621 tweets on Thursday. This gave it 4,966 tweets for the week, a ways above even my revised number of 4,750 from Tuesday's update. By comparison, Why Did I Get Married Too ended up with 5,925 tweets for its week before release which gave it a 480 ratio (thanks Chrestomanci), Our Family Wedding had 2,294 and a 918 ratio, while Cop Out had 2,815 and a 469 ratio. Really a massive number which bodes well for the film's chances. I'm going to bump its ratio up slightly to 600 to account for its higher capture of related tweets ("Death At A Funeral" as a search string captures almost all relevant tweets with little non-related tweets. Unique names are awesome). As such it should be looking at around ~$8 million for Friday and $23.7 million for the weekend.
Kick Ass wrapped up its week with a whopping 4,002 tweets on Thursday. This gave it 10,791 for the full week, in the ballpark of my estimated 10,000 to 11,000 from earlier this week. By comparison, Ninja Assassin had 9,718 tweets its week before release which afforded it a 1,714 ratio, and Hot Tub Time Machine had 8,122 and a 1,785 ratio. Couple points of note for both of these comparisons is that Ninja opened on a Wednesday which gave its week tweet tally a shot of NOS, and Hot Tub was just as popular as a punchline as it was for folks actually interested in seeing the films. At any rate I'm going to up my ratio estimate slightly here to 1,150 and predict a Friday gross of $9.5 million and $26.5 million for the full weekend.
Check back Saturday to see Friday's numbers and the actual Twitter ratios for the weekend and follow @AlexBOXOFFICE on Twitter for additional updates.
Twitter tracking history. (For 2009's ratio history please check here.)
The ratio is the number of tweets per $1 million of Friday Box Office gross. A film with 1,000 tweets and a $10 million Friday would therefore have a ratio of 100. In general, films that appeal to very young or older audiences have lower ratios since those audiences are not big users of Twitter. By comparison, films that appeal to younger audiences (18-35) have much higher ratios since those audiences are much more active users of Twitter.

Collier County puts government pork on dinner tables
Youth hunts replace plans for USDA trap and kill proposal
Collier County Commissioners want to get rid of some government pork and put it on people's dinner tables.
On Tuesday, commissioners unanimously voted to allow area youth to hunt wild hogs on the county-owned Pepper Ranch property, rather than hire agents from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to catch, kill and dispose of hundreds of feral pigs tearing up the property.
Commissioner Jim Coletta requested the item be placed on the agenda after learning about Conservation Collier's plan to pay the USDA $16,000 a year to control the pig population on the 2,500-acre property the county purchased for $32.6 million in 2009.
"Hopefully we can put something together that will cure a problem, address a recreational need and put a valuable food source back into the community, rather than the landfill," Coletta said.
Since the county took ownership of the property, the pig population has gone "hog wild," with the animals causing extensive environmental damage and rooting up everything in their path, from plant to wildlife, according to environmental specialist Christal Segura.
Prior to the county's purchase, Pepper Ranch's hog population was managed by private hunting. Segura says the county attorney's office recommended the use of USDA trappers to avoid liability issues associated with hunting and private trapping until the county implements a hunting program in November 2010.
According to Segura, Conservation Collier tried to find a way to utilize the hog meat generated from the USDA trapping, but no agency would take the meat without it being processed and there is no place to take the meat to be processed according to USDA standards.
Brian McMahon, a member of the Everglades Conservation and Sportsmen Club, brought the matter to Coletta's attention.
"I hated seeing the county pay someone to kill them," he says of the feral hogs. "It's not a reasonable expense. Sportsmen are always complaining about an accessible place to hunt, and here we have county land set aside for conservation, part of which was promised to include hunting and fishing. It's a shame to eradicate these pigs."
Coletta agrees. He says county staff was not focusing on all the options.
"Everyone had a reason why it couldn't be done," he says. "No one was looking at what could be done."
According to Gene Newman, FWC youth hunting coordinator, the youth hunts can begin as early as March. Newman plans to visit the ranch today to assess the number of hogs and the extent of the problem.
Coletta, a hunting enthusiast, says the hunts are a great idea.
"They will encourage young people to take up the sport of hunting, as well as provide a much needed food source at no cost to the taxpayers," he says.
Newman said the hunts are normally set up with private landowners, but because the county-owned land does not yet have a hunting policy, a youth hunt would provide an interim solution.
To take part, youth must be 12-17 years old and complete the Florida Hunter Safety Program. Participants must apply and be selected for the hunt and pay a $75 deposit. During the hunt, they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
According to Newman, hunts are normally done in groups of 3-10 kids over a period of three days. In the case of Pepper Ranch, where feral pigs are posing a considerable nuisance, he said it is likely each participant would be encouraged to shoot two hogs each.
He adds the goal is not learning to shoot as many hogs as possible, but learning to be good stewards of the outdoors.
"The whole purpose is not just trigger time but providing a fun, educational outdoor experience," he says. "If we get something and reduce the numbers, that's wonderful."
If the hunt is successful, the young hunters are also shown how to safely skin, gut and quarter the hogs.
"We don't want them to learn to shoot an animal, then just throw it in the back of the truck and take it to the processor," he says.
Newman says the initial hunts will possibly be conducted every other month with a focus on participation by local residents, but could be opened up in frequency and scope if the program secures enough volunteers to help with the hunts.
McMahon says he is pleased with the commission's decision and althought he does not plan to take part, as his son is now grown, he believes the hunt will be popular with area sportsmen and their families. Coletta said he may take his 16-year-old grandson on the hunt if the teen is interested in taking part.
The USDA trapping plan would have covered the cost of trapping, shooting and disposing of around 200 hogs, according to Segura.
Coletta said he was not sure if the hunt would generate enough interest to result the taking of 200 hogs, but if not, there are other measures that could be considered.
"There are people in our community willing to trap hogs, take them home, fatten them up with corn and use the meat," he says. "First we'll consider the youth hunt and then look at other ways to deal with the problem."

The Hawks' (20-17) offense struggled but their defense held the Rockets' (23-14) offense — 4th highest scoring in the NBA coming in — to just 80 points on 41.4% shooting (31.6% from three) as the Hawks won 83-80.

Hawks Struggle On D In Loss To Houston
A few thoughts after tonight's 113-84 loss to the Rockets: – The Hawks struggled on both ends of the floor, but particularly on the defensive end, where the Rockets scored 113 points, shot 55 percent from the field and drew 24 fouls, all without two prolific scorers in James Harden and Jeremy Lin. After... »

|The Role of Woman Within The Rastafarian Community
|Genesis 2v21, "And Yahweh caused a deep sleep to fall
upon Adam where he separated the woman from Adam."
|Rastalogy declares that on that day, God created man in
his image and likeness.
"He created them, male and female."
|The command, 'be fruitful and multiply', establishes the
role of the Woman in the Divine plan of JAH. It shows the
equality of the individual, each as a distinct operation in
God's objective for humanity. Irrespective of the biological
difference from man. Woman has a responsibility to the
well-being of humanity.
|Rastalogy recogizes the important position a Woman
occupies in the area of parental obligation to the family
because she is the person who has to take care of the
and make decisions dealing with the well being of the
children and other things.
|In the tenets of Rastalogy, this makes her equal to Man.
|Woman has a very important position in the annals of
Rastafarianism and Rastalogy; the reason being; it was the
visit of the Queen of Sheba of Ethiopia to King Solomon of
Jerusalem which established the present Dynasty of
Emperor Haile Selassie I through Prince Menelik I, Son of
King Solomon and Queen of Sheba. This makes woman
revered in Ethiopia.
|Daughter of Zion{Rastawoman} enjoys a very high degree
of honor in the Rastafarian community. In 1955 Emperor
Haile Selassie I, our Divine Leader, reformed the Ethiopian
Constitution and gave Woman the authority, equal to man,
to the extent Woman could become President and hold any
important position in the government.

The structure built to house a Circuit City store on Route 132 in Hyannis remains empty, but not from lack of trying.
Growth management director Jo Anne Miller Buntich said the town has been working with the Cape Cod Commission to allow appropriate alternate uses for the structure. Also, she said, it hoped to encourage airport businesses to look at the building.
Airport Manager Bud Breault said Cape Air was once interested in consolidating offices there, but could not get a call back from Berkshire Development, the development company. Now that the property has reverted back to its original owners, there may be another opportunity.

The yellow '72 Porsche 914 lives at the same address, but the crucial difference is that the Porsche is owned by a rent-paying tenant and actually runs. I can't puzzle out the year on this car exactly, but items such as taillight lenses seem to point to 1970 or 1971. VW experts?
The owner seemed to be hoping that he'd get some offers on this car, once its beauty could be seen by many passersby; failing that, The Crusher's hunger for scrap steel to ship to China make it worth at least a hundred bucks.
I've driven a few Karmann Ghias of this era, and they behave pretty much exactly like Beetles on the road- not surprising, given that the chassis is identical to the Beetle's. The '70 K-G coupe is more than 100 pounds heavier than its Beetle sibling (1,918 pounds versus 1,807), so the "sporty" car of the pair is actually the slower one. However, for a two-seat coupe with Italian styling, the Karmann Ghia's price was hard to beat: $2,399. A new MGB-GT- not exactly a high-performance machine- would have set you back a stunning $3,260.

The Best Is Yet To Come, by Martin Nowak,
DSPT Fellow and Professor at Harvard University
2015 DSPT Commencement Address
"It is easy to give way to the dominant tendency to surrender to the spirit of the age and the spirit of the world by shutting our eyes to the errors of public opinion and the evils and injustice of popular action … But it is also easy, and it is a more insidious temptation, to adopt an attitude of negative hostility to the spirit of the age and to take refuge in a narrow and exclusive fanaticism which is essentially the attitude of the heretic and the sectarian and which does more to discredit Christianity and render it ineffective than even worldliness and time-serving. For the latter are, so to speak, external to the Church's life, whereas the former poisons the sources of its spiritual action and causes it to appear hateful in the eyes of men of good will."
– Christopher Dawson (1939)
"They had been men of little faith, with their continual questioning and their childish egotism; but now they went out into the civilized world full of the spirit of self-sacrifice and strong in soul. And they carried the new fire to the hovels of slaves and into the palaces of emperors. Twelve simple, uneducated fishermen revolutionized the world, and that with no other instrument than their new faith and their readiness to die for that faith."
– Karl Adam
"It is unconscionable to remain willfully ignorant and silent while these Yazidi and Nigerian girls suffer. Not only are they victims of the authentic war on women, but they are also victims of a war on innocence and humanity itself."
"Our study of history is invaluable for understanding the present. While genocides of the last century are the subject of countless books, documentaries, and lectures, we must and cannot ignore the history being made in front of our eyes."
– Peter LaFave
By their fruits you shall know them. A lot of people who get paid to think logically, rationally, and lucidly are overpaid. One who has performed these essential tasks above and beyond his pay-grade is Fr. James Schall, S.J. For the digital age, this piece (link below) is longer than most, but it repays the time it takes to read it many times over. A faithful Catholic philosopher, tested by a long stint at Georgetown University, Fr. Schall has learned how to elude capture by fashionable intellectual trends. Hear him out.
The Church exists to make us aware that Christ has profoundly altered mankind's existential and eschatological circumstances and to help us adjust our lives accordingly. Secondarily, she may use her powers of persuasion to urge the adoption of moral standards and social arrangements most congenial to man's Christ-altered condition. As for the Church's primary duty, there will always be scandals, for our sin-ridden impulse is to insist on having our own way. When it comes to the Church's ancillary task of giving prudential counsel on how best to use material resources or on what political or economic arrangements are most conducive to human flourishing, her admonitions might receive a more attentive hearing if accompanied by her awareness that these are matters beyond her inherent competence. She cannot avoid certain scandals related to her primary duty. When it comes to more worldly matters, however, her advice will more likely receive a proper hearing if given in an avuncular and not a hectoring tone.
For example, this from someone who seems otherwise favorably predisposed to the teachings of the Church:
"While rightly speaking against a culture of 'practical relativism,' [Pope Francis] states that the same 'thinking that leads to sexual exploitation of children…is also the mindset of those who say: Let us allow the invisible forces of the market to regulate the economy, and consider their impact on society and nature as collateral damage.'
"Perhaps I misunderstand the Holy Father's point. Does he mean to say that anyone who trusts the billions of individual decisions which constitute 'the market' is no better than one who sells children into sex slavery? Or is it only those who also dismiss the 'collateral damage' that are, for all intents and purposes, members of ISIS? Was this meant as a challenge, or an insult? I know how I took it."
(Islam] very nearly destroyed us. It kept up the battle against Christendom actively for a thousand years, and the story is by no means over; the power of Islam may at any moment re-arise."
– Hilaire Belloc, 1938
"The Church is the place where the process of conforming humanity to the person and event of Christ is begun, the place where men dedicate themselves, in a faith that listens and obeys, to this event that is a person, are formed by him (sacramentally) and seek through their existence to make him effective in the world."
– Hans Urs von Balthasar
Pope Pius IX's 1854 Syllabus of Errors condemned modernity and was only finally brought into balance by the Second Vatican Council. This is the background to R. R. Reno's assessment that Pope Francis' recent encyclical on the environment amounts to the reissuing of the 19th century condemnation.
"The Syllabus of Errors is exquisitely succinct," writes Reno. "Laudato Si is verbose. But in a roundabout way Francis makes his own case against the modern world."
I have reviewed the encyclical and, even though there are some very important passages in the encyclical, on the sweeping prudential judgments made in the encyclical on scientific, economic, and political matters I don't think Reno is very far off the mark. But I am linking to another similar assessment by Rich Lowry, which speaks for itself.
Speaking for myself, I have linked Lowry's article with a photo of the altar of the Chair of Peter at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. It is important because it depicts the chair — with no one sitting in it. Catholics have managed to maintain the unity that is indispensable to their catholic witness by seeing that unity personified in the man who sits in the chair of Peter and following him when he exercises his custodial role as the preserver of core Catholic teaching on doctrine and morals. Whatever his personal competence, Catholics owe him the courtesy of giving serious attention to his opinions on more worldly matters. The faithful are obliged to defer to papal statements on the doctrine of the Trinity or the sanctity of life or the obligation to care for the poor and the weak. His opinions on how best to care for the poor or to organize society or fulfill sundry other worldly obligations cannot be dismissed, but neither need they be accorded the respect due to statements more directly concerning faith and morals. Especially given the Church's history, a pope's statements on scientific matters are even more subject to the scrutiny of the faithful and others, for — familiar declarations to the contrary notwithstanding — science is very rarely settled, however enthusiastically a scientific hypothesis might be popularly embraced. My main disappointment with regard to this encyclical is that it appears at a moment when quite obviously the most pressing problem facing the Church and the world is the reawakening of Islamic supremacy and the violence that accompanies it. The encyclical's concern for the poor notwithstanding, the real emergency facing so many people today is hardly the existence of too many air conditioners. The pope has laid himself and our Church open to mockery, and no Catholic can be sanguine about that.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures climbed Wednesday, with disappointing growth in U.S. private-sector employment and broad losses in equities providing support, but prices cut the bulk of their gains by the session's close.
Investors showed caution ahead of the European Central Bank's meeting on Thursday, as well as official U.S. government employment figures due Friday that were likely to offer a hint as to what the Federal Reserve will decide to do with its bond-buying program.
• Silver shorts play a dangerous game
• What doesn't glitter may be gold
• Is gold's rally over?
• Shine returns to platinum and palladium
• Copper: is there a smart way to play?
• No gold trader should ignore these odds
Gold for August delivery US:GCQ3 climbed $1.30, or 0.1%, to settle at $1,398.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, it had climbed by as much as $13 to tap a high around $1,410.
"Stocks down, gold up is becoming a pattern, and vice versa," said Adrian Ash, head of research at BullionVault. And "courtesy of the poor ADP jobs report, dollar weakness is also supportive."
"But all eyes remain on Friday's official nonfarm data," he said. "Fed comments on reducing [quantitative easing] are just talk, unless the jobs market can really gain traction."
Automatic Data Processing Inc. reported that the economy gained 135,000 jobs in May, below expectations for a gain of 170,000.
Other data showed U.S. productivity reduced to 0.5% in the January to March period from a prior read of 0.7%, while the U.S. services industry accelerated a bit in May.
U.S. equities extended their losses into a second day on the back of those economic reports, luring some investors to the metals market.
On Thursday, the European Central Bank will meet and just how dovish the ECB is will also "likely have a strong effect on gold," said Jason Rotman, president of Lido Isle Advisors. "If the ECB talks down the negative-deposit-rate idea, gold could fall back down," he said.
Weak jobs growth could further strengthen the case for the Fed to maintain its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program. Read more on the tapering debate here.
The Fed's quantitative easing program has helped support gold as it tends to pressure the dollar and can lead to inflation. Gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation.
If there is any disappointment with Friday's employment report, "and the record-large speculative bear contracts in gold futures look vulnerable to rapid short-covering," said Ash.
Gold's gain on Wednesday follows Tuesday's loss of $14.70, or 1%, when a rise in the U.S. dollar DXY, +0.07% curbed the dollar-denominated metal's appeal. The greenback weakened Wednesday.

I've returned home before during the course of this insane jaunt around the world, once because I got sick and another time to surprise my family for the holidays. Each return was a shock to the system, both weatherwise, pricewise and peoplewise. But my return this week from Bangkok to attend the 2nd annual Travel Bloggers Exchange Conference (TBEX) has proven much more difficult than my other 're-entries'. I think there are several reasons for my current disconnect, each of which contributes to the otherworldly, awkward feeling of being an outsider in a city I used to call home.
Part of it likely stems from my neighbourhood – the Sesame Street Soi where everyone yelled out a greeting as I walked down the street and stopped me to see what I was eating at that moment (I almost never walked around without food – this is Bangkok, after all) and what I planned on eating later that day. In addition, I was subsumed within the tumultuous events in Bangkok these last months, from peaceful protests, to my area being declared a live fire zone, to actual fires raging in parts of Bangkok.
It makes coming back to New York stranger still, since those events occupied a significant amount of brainspace until quite recently, and understandably no one here really wants to hear about them. I also spent a full seven months in Asia this time around; notwithstanding the political roller-coaster, there would still be some amount of reverse culture shock in coming home for the summer.
And against the broad canvas of my general readjustment, I've noticed a series of 'holy crap' moments, whereby I need to remind myself that life is just not the way it was a few days ago.
5. Where are all the Ladies? My life in Bangkok revolved around a set of talented ladies who made my existence much more enjoyable. I would go to my Coffee Lady in the morning and chat with her about her day, while stopping in to say hello to my Tailor Lady next door. I would eat dinner at Soi 6's Pumpkin Lady, and lunch at the Som Tam lady just next to the Ratchawithi intersection. I would wave to my Shake Lady when I returned home, stopping at the Fruit Cart Lady for some pineapple as I walked down my street. Where have all the ladies gone? Sadly, life in North America is too fast paced for a different, specific cart to satisfy each need. But I often find myself thinking of these women and their impact on my life in Bangkok; I looked forward to talking with them every day, and miss their radiant smiles.

Indigenous knowledge has become a catchphrase in global struggles for environmental justice. Yet indigenous knowledges are often viewed, incorrectly, as pure and primordial cultural artifacts.
