For Palin, It's a (Christian) Man's World
Posted on Sep 14, 2008
By Chris Hedges
(Page 2)
In the mega-churches, the pastor, nearly always male, is obeyed by the congregation. It is the pastor who interprets the word of God. It is why Palin, along with Alaska Lt. Gov. Scott Parnell, went to be publicly blessed before some 6,000 congregants by Wasilla Assembly of God's Head Pastor Ed Kalnins. It is why she calls Kalnins, who claims that some parts of the globe are controlled by demons and that family curses can be passed down through generations, for guidance and advice. He is her male conduit to a male God. The male leader in this belief system governs through a divine mandate. He can heal the sick. He can speak in tongues. He can prophesy. And if Palin wants to remain in God's favor, she must be guided by men like Kalnins.
The movement builds concentric male fiefdoms. They radiate out from the home. They do not permit revolt, discussion or dissent. And women who buy into the paradigm, one that supposedly protects their families, makes their boys into men, their husbands into protectors and themselves into Godly Christian women, cede most of their personal, political and economic power. Those who are weak or different, those who do not conform to the stereotype, those who have other ways of being, must be forced by the stern father to obey. If they do not they will be destroyed by God.
The religious leaders that Palin admires, such as Dobson, are petty despots. They travel on private jets, have huge personal fortunes and descend on the faithful surrounded by a retinue of burly bodyguards. These little kingdoms, awash in the male leadership cult, mirror the America they seek to create. In this America, there is no questioning. In this America, followers surrender their personal and political power. The divinely anointed male leader rules a flock of obedient and submissive sheep. All must hand over their freedom. All must cease to think independently.
The simple-minded earnestness on the part of believers such as Palin gives the Christian mass movement its sense of sincerity and decency. Believers are not brainwashed. They are not mindless automatons. They are convinced that what they are doing is Godly, moral and good. They work with the passion of the converted to bring this Christian goodness to everyone, even those who resist. They believe that what they promote is moral and beneficial. They fear for their own souls and they fear for the souls of those who remain unsaved. This earnestness, although employed for frightening ends, is a powerful part of Palin's attraction. She is willing to make great personal sacrifices for the cause of Christ. But nonbelievers, in the end, have no place on her moral map.

Her reception at the gatherings she addressed was frightening. Crowds swarmed toward her. They asked her to touch them and heal them. Her status was nothing compared with that of Robertson, she said, "who stands for his followers as the embodiment of God's conscience."
"They were seeking a message, a healing, hope, a little encouragement," she remembered. "They wanted a little piece of God. They thought I could give it to them. People wept when I prayed for them, touched them or hugged them. It was as if they were meeting a rock star."
She was increasingly disturbed by the power that had been thrust upon her and the emotions unleashed by those who begged her for guidance. She understood how pliant these people had become and how cleverly they were being manipulated. The realization led her finally to leave the movement. Her experience was a window into how willingly followers hand over their conscience to these male leaders. Followers abandon all moral responsibility to obey those who elevate themselves to quasi-deities.
"They trusted us more than their family," she said. "They thought we had a clearer path to God because we were on television. They thought we were on television because God put us there. We were prophets to these people. We were seen as people who could walk on clouds and heal and pray. We were God's special messengers. Pat was seen as having the ear of God. He had words of knowledge that could identify their deepest fears and illnesses. We would identify people on the air by speaking about the color of their clothes or an illness they had. We would say, 'There is a woman with a blue blouse crying at this moment. She has bad hearing in one ear. She is being healed right now.' And viewers would claim these healings. They saw our presence on the show as a sign that we were anointed. They wanted to know how to live, how to operate on a daily basis, how to communicate with their family and friends, what jobs to get and how to interpret the world around them, even the daily news. They wanted every type of emotional, spiritual and physical information. We had this kind of authority over their lives. They abdicated their hopes and lives to us because we spoke for God."
Palin enjoys the enthusiastic backing of the Christian right because she is blindly obedient to the male hierarchy. She does not question. She submits and obeys. Her views on abortion and marriage, on the Middle East, on gays and the war against Islam are precooked. They are handed to her by men who claim to speak for God. And in power she would be the perfect conduit for an ideology that seeks, in the end, to eradicate individual moral choice and replace it with subservience to a terrifying Christian fascism.

400+ years ago, the Calvinists began leaving Europe for America, not because of religious persecution as American textbooks claim, but because Europe was outgrowing medieval Christianity and entering the scientific age. These Presbyterians fled to America's east coast in order to continue burning witches and hanging quakers. When progress came to New England, the religious zealots retreated to the south where they continue to this day to hold sway over the untutored. Today, throughout the world, Christianity is in rapid decline, virtually gone in some Scandinavian countries. Only in the United States have the Old Testament fundamentalists found fertile ground to keep sowing their seeds of ancient myth, hatred, and male domination. Anybody who reads the Bible can hardly miss the clear implication that males are superior to females. What is surprising is that females in the U.S. submissively buy into their own inferiority and perpetuate the primitive, ignorant belief system of the middle ages. Sarah Palin is the archetype.

WendyWV: "One good thing about this country is that we generally don't block candidates because of their religion - at least not legally."
That statement is only true for the last 47 years and only because the Supreme Court ruled all laws keeping atheists from holding office were unconstitutional. If you look at many state constitutions, you will still see laws forbiding atheists from holding public office. Here's a link for the one in Texas:
Despite this, as an atheist, I know my running for any public office would be pointless (even though I think I am more ethical and honest than either Palin or McCain). Why, simply because the majority of Americans loathe atheists.

Remember when Obama said in Pennsylvania, "You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them."
He went on:
"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
I think he is one smart cookie.

I disagree with fundamentalists on women's submission and on the acceptance of violence, but this article is pretty baseless. Do you actually know any fundamentalist Christians? They are often much more egalitarian in practice than their patriarchal language would suggest. This piece reeks of cultural elitism and a failure to understand people who see the world differently. I can't believe it got past the editors.

I found this video, kind of on topic, and thought I'd share it. It should allay any fears that you may have that Sarah's religious beliefs are not mainstream enough to effectively govern as V.P. or, potentially, POTUS. As it has been said…."much ado about nothing".
psssst…be afraid———be very afraid.

I've wondered from the beginning of McCain's campaign whether he really wants to be president. It's as though he is trying to destroy the Republican party by exposing it clearly to the country by never distancing himself from Bush and choosing Palin who is the perfect example of the Rebub's backward leaning base.
Of course I know I'm wrong because a presidential nominee can just phone in his campaign due to American the press doing all the work for the candidates of the corporate controlled major parties.
Something is fishy about McCain. It's too perfect. It's my pet conspiracy theory that makes McCain a hero .

One good thing about this country is that we generally don't block candidates because of their religion - at least not legally. However, I don't think that means we should ignore their religious ties. Religions that demand blind obedience of their members are religions to take a second look at. What happens when members stray from the norm - how are they treated in that church? Are the counseled or are they rejected? Are they merely expelled or are they shunned socially and financially? How much control does that church have over its members socially and legally? For these reasons, and because of personal experience, I cannot support EVER a Mormon in good standing for a national office. And, seeing the mindset from which Ms. Palin comes, I would not be able to support her either, as I didn't when Huckabee decided to run. Above and beyond feeling the need to change the party in control in Washington.

My niece lived with me, while she went to high school. She's not the brightest - for our family. Probably is close to 'average' intelligence, but I always thought with earlier intervention, she would have been brighter [ie she never read a book without pictures till she lived with us] What was really intriguing to me was that the person she felt closest too at any moment became her guru. She would do anything and everything to please them. Luckily, I was that person for the first year…
As an adult, she continued to change focus, careers and gurus searching for the real deal I guess. She found it in a twice divorced, 15 year older, military officer, who became a Promise Keeper.
They are still married, but I have graduated to the "not a good influence" group. Something about my refusal to even pretend to pray before meals, at home or in public, or even to hold hands. As an agnostic leaning towards atheist, I have my own standards to meet.
Or maybe it was some of the anti-Iraq articles I emailed: Like the BBC article showing the little Iraqi girl on the front page of every paper but ours which were celebrating Super Bowl. It may have been the year of Janet Jackson's tit, but the headline was "What the rest of the World was watching". Her parents and brother died in a barrage of bullets at a US check-point in Baghdad. A US soldier was trying to calm her down.
The family grapevine informed me that my 'political articles' were NOT acceptable, and upset the powers that be… It was news for god's sake, but the thing about these Fascist Religions is that every thing is about them.
Has anyone else read the novel about the Last Jews in Alaska? The premise is that the Jews wound up in Alaska instead of Israel after the Allies lost the war… They were given a 50 year lease on either Anchorage or Juneau, and time is up.
I may have to reread it now that almost every commentary is about weird politics in Alaska. I think the entire Palin Crew, and most of the cops are featured in that strange story…

"Israel is a not a democracy but is an Ethnocracy, meaning a country run and controlled by a national group with some democratic elements but set up with Jews in control and structured to keep them in control."-Jeff Halper, Founder and Coordinator of ICAHD/Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions and a Noble Peace Prize Nominee for 2006.
My question to ALL the professing Christians seeking the White House is are you on the side of democracy or ethnocracy?
President Abbas has presented ideas and demands on the status of Jerusalem, the borders of a Palestinian state, settlements in the West Bank, refugees, security and water resources, but no reply has been received from the Israeli side.
My question for ALL the candidates is and how will they deal with a Palestinian partner who is talking and an Israeli partner who is not?
2,000 years ago The Cross had NO symbolic religious meaning and was not a piece of jewelry. When Jesus said: "Pick up your cross and follow me" everyone back then understood he was issuing a POLITICAL statement, for the main roads in Jerusalem were lined with crucified agitators, rebels, dissidents and any who disturbed the status quo of the Roman Empire and Military Occupying Forces.
My question to ALL the professing Christian candidates for the White House is how do they reconcile their faith in Jesus, the Prince of Peace who promised it is the peacemakers who are the children of God, with the American-Israeli military empire?
The bipartisan Iraq Study Group asserted that "all key issues in the Middle East-the Arab-Israeli conflict, Iraq, Iran, the need for political and economic reforms, and extremism and terrorism-are inextricably linked" and that the United States "cannot achieve its goals in the Middle East unless it deals directly with the Arab-Israeli conflict and regional instability."
We the people need to know if ANY of the candidates will support diplomacy and be an honest broker for peace who will deal with all sides as equals which will demonstrate moral leadership and bolster U.S. national security interests. The question to the candidates is will they support the indirect Israel-Syria talks mediated by Turkey or insist that only America can offer plans and road- maps?
We the people need leaders who will support direct and sustained negotiations with Iran and work with the international community to address Iran's nuclear ambitions as well as demand Israel open up the underground Dimona nuclear weapons facility in the Negev that has never allowed International Atomic Energy Inspectors into.
Another question for ALL the Christian lusting for the White House is if they will stand up for FREEDOM OF SPEECH and movement for their brother in Christ, Mordechai Vanunu, who returns to court in Jerusalem on September 23, 2008. He will then learn if he will serve six more months in jail for speaking to foreign media in 2004 after his release from 18 years in jail for telling the world the truth that in 1985, Israel was building as many as 200 nuclear warheads.
"Blessed are the Peacemakers-THEY shall be called the children of God."-Jesus, Matthew 5:9

The worst thing? This kind of thinking spreads. When no dissent is heard, people forget there is such a thing as dissent. Everything becomes about fear and authority instead of common sense.

"The decline of America is ascribed to the decline of male prowess."
That statement, in and of itself, is antichrist and anathema. I defy anyone to twist a single passage of Scripture to justify the statement above.
"In response to a militantly anti-family ethos prevalent in the 'post modern' West," while the "World Congress of Families fosters an international network of pro-family organizations, scholars, and leaders that seeks to restore the natural family as the fundamental social unit and the 'seed bed' of a sane society."—Alan C. Carlson, founder and chairman of The World Congress of Families
My first question is this: How does Carlson explain the Palins?
Not every family ethnically hails from this modern Occidental era. Should they be removed from our society and cultures, just so a few bigots can feel good about their personal conviction? If so, where does Jesus say that in the Bible?
I don't have a problem with people living their personal religious convictions, so long as they grant me the same liberty. Please don't impose your personal beliefs on the rest of us and call it evangelism. Living your convictions so well you make me envy you and want your life is letting your light so shine. Trying to limit my human rights and liberties through manipulation of my civil rights because you presume to feel you know better than I do what is best for me, is nowhere near close what Jesus would do.
Some of us like our families just the way they are, whether our families fall neatly into the limits of another's definition of family or not. There are whole lot of woman-headed households that are none the worse for the absence of a man. There are also male headed households where there is no woman, where things run just as smoothly as if there was a woman there. A real family is best defined by the commonality of love, not statistical demographics tailored to meet the needs of a common belief system very narrowly interpreted by a limited few.

Some Christian Fundamentalists loudly speculated that Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment of New Orleans for being a sinful city. Does that mean the hurricanes smashing Texas are to punish Texans for inflicting Bush on America?

Wait a minute—sourcing is BADLY required!
To place Dobson, Third Wave, Robertson and 700 Club all in the same stew is a mistake and winds up missing the mark; it reduces the piece to a rant.
Stick to the links between Palin's actual churches and ministers and their theology (which is highly suspect, even more so than Dobson)—there is lots of meat there.
My disgust with Dobson and company equals your own, but they are truly not the issue here. Palin's minister may well be an even bigger whackaloon and make Jeremiah Wright look like a moderate, but you still have to TIE her to it.

The comments re: right wing whatever is old hat…in the saddle one knows that opposition will appear,,so I know,lets also control the 'opposition"..since it was Jesus the Founder of Christianity that was the first world leader to elevate women up to equality with men and later His church ,The RCC invented Nuns and Sisters to then teach kids..the above column just does not make sense..This Palen person is a perfect feminist..for she is never home to take care of her kids..one got knocked up..I guess Palen just was too busy to talk to her child about her latest heart trob or date..she also has a sad child with a mental problem..I know I know,lets use that child for pictures..then hand it back to her nanny…the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world..we need more stay at home moms then part time moms!!! later this gal can follow her own career,all well and good..as my wife did..after the kids grew up and went to college (all seven)she became a youth leader then a golf champ…o hum another boring Hobsons choice…no wonder Marx used to smirk when he would say.."ya gotta luv the masses..drop the M..they really believe we care about them".......Nino

Looking at our vice-presidential candidate, do you think she submissively obeys male authority figures? Authoritarian personalities are not solely male character structures.
This column oversimplifies a great deal. Like many supposedly strict patriarchic movements, evangelical churches contain major pockets of matriarchy.
It is common to see the feminist movement as a reaction to male domination. Less often perceived is the existence of patriarchic ideology as a reaction to female dominance.

It's bad enough that Juneau Christian Center believes in all of this crazy Young Earth nonsense, preaches the inerrancy of the bible, and the pastor, Mike Rose, goes on the radio and TV and blasts evolution and says that Darwin is dangerous.

A parliamentary committee chaired by Labor backbencher
The move comes as the government tries to regain political momentum on banking regulation after shadow treasurer
The new inquiry will be signed off by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services on Thursday.
Draft terms of reference for the inquiry, which have been circulated among MPs on the committee, suggest it will consider a wide range of aspects of the access of small and medium-sized businesses to credit.
Issues to be canvassed by the inquiry include allegations that small businesses have been forced by banks to refinance loans and face excessively high interest rates.
The inquiry will consider competition between financial institutions for small business clients, including whether it is harder for businesses in regional and rural areas to access credit. It will also consider whether unemployment and job creation is affected by problems that small businesses encounter with banks.
Independent MP
"I am hoping, if approved by the committee, that the terms of reference that Bernie Ripoll has been finalising will [satisfy that agreement so] away we go on an important issue for small business," Mr Oakeshott said.
Mr Ripoll said he was glad the inquiry could satisfy the deal between Labor and Mr Oakeshott, but would not comment on the terms of the inquiry.
The move comes as the government prepares to release a set of banking reforms designed to make it easier for consumers to switch banks.
On Monday, the opposition introduced a private member's bill to enable the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to investigate "price signalling" and prevent businesses unilaterally flagging to their rivals that they intend to increase their prices.
He claimed that it was impossible for business people to know, at the time they made a public statement, what the "likely effect" or the ultimate "effect" of their statement would be. "The Bill that he's put into the Parliament yesterday is not well thought out," Mr Swan told ABC radio.
But opposition competition policy spokesman
"What does he possibly think this is about?" Mr Billson said to The Australian Financial Review.
"It is about combating the anti-competitive effects of price signalling. All he has to do is pick up the Coalition's bill, tweak it at the edges and he can look like he has done something."

ASTM D6400 Certified
The American Society for Testing & Materials International (ASTM) Standard Specification for Compostable Plastics has improved how U.S. producers and users determine what makes plastic compostable. ASTM also promises to improve public awareness of these products and chances at international harmonization, all while doing its part to help the environment. The ASTM D6400 certification was created under California Law AB2147 and is now considered a necessity to possess in order to produce and market products as degradable, biodegradable, or compostable.
The ASTM D6400 certification covers plastics and products made from plastics that are designed to be composted in municipal and industrial aerobic composting facilities. The properties in this specification are those required to determine if plastics and products made from plastics will compost satisfactorily, including biodegrading at a rate comparable to known compostable materials. The purpose of The ASTM D6400 certification is to establish standards for identifying products and materials that will compost satisfactorily in commercial and municipal composting facilities.
This is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

Hudson -- Trailing 3-1 and faced with a man-down disadvantage for five minutes, things were looking pretty bleak for the Hudson boys lacrosse team.
Oddly enough, that might have been the best thing that happened to the Explorers.
Hudson won its third consecutive game after posting an 11-5 victory over Massillon Jackson April 11 at Hudson Memorial Stadium.
The Explorers, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit after one quarter of play, improved to 3-2 on the season.
With the loss, thePolar Bears' record fell to 2-3 on the season.
"Our biggest concern was our defense," Hudson head coach Dave Blue said.
"Our defense was aggressive in terms of forcing turnovers. Our defensemen can run. They are capable of covering anybody."
In the early stages of the game, the Explorers struggled to find their groove and Jackson took advantage.
After goals by Steven Coss and Santiago Gil in a span of a little more than 90 seconds, the Polar Bears had a 3-1 advantage with 6 minutes, 16 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
And then things really got nerve-racking for Hudson.
The Explorers were called for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that gave the Polar Bears a man advantage late in the first quarter.
No problem for Hudson.
Despite being a man down, the Explorers got back on track immediately.
Grant Elffers got the rally started when he scored 56 seconds into the second quarter. Less than two minutes later, Mick Mougey tied the game just moments after Hudson returned to full strength.
Elffers struck again to make it 4-3 with 7:10 remaining in the first half.
Hudson, which outscored Jackson 4-0 in the second quarter, never looked back the rest of the way.
"I think it sparked our defense," Blue said of the penalties. "I thought our defensemen, particularly Logan Malson, Jake Jesionek and Will Hogan, were aggressive. Those three are formidable on defense."
Ricky Spradling scored to cut the Explorers' lead to 5-4 nearly four minutes into the second half.
The Polar Bears never got closer.
Hudson, which was missing attack Zach Nye, scored four unanswered goals in the next nine minutes to seal the deal. Nye suffered a cut to his head and was unable to play. Blue said the injury was not serious and expected him to be back on the field this week.
Bo Lori had two goals and two assists and Elffers finished with two goals and one assist. Sam Gregory and Gabe Vehar each had two goals for the Explorers.
"Sam Gregory stepped up and Gabe Vehar had some nice goals," Blue said. "Our midfielders played aggressively."
Michael Charlton and Brent Zubal each scored once for Hudson, which had a 34-28 advantage in ground balls.
Spradling had two goals for the Polar Bears and Luke Remlinger scored once for Jackson.
Explorers' goalkeeper Jake Krone, who shared the game ball with Matt Rightnour, made six saves in the nets. Polar Bears' keeper Michael Winkhart stopped five shots. Jackson had a 29-25 shots-on-goal advantage.
"Jake did a fantastic job in the second quarter," Blue said. "He made a lot of great saves."
Hudson's junior varsity team fell to 3-1 after losing a 10-8 decision to Jackson. Luc Jambon led the Explorers with five goals.
Hudson was scheduled to host Westlake April 15 at Scott Malson Field. Results were not available at press time.
The Explorers are set to return to Hudson Memorial Stadium to play Solon April 17 at 7 p.m. Hudson is scheduled to visit Mason April 19 at 2 p.m.

Jiddu Krishnamurti or J. Krishnamurti, (May 12, 1895 (birth time source: Astrodatabank, biography)February 17, 1986) was a well-known writer and speaker on fundamental philosophical and spiritual subjects. For nearly sixty years he traveled all over the world, pointing out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of their thoughts and feelings in daily life. He maintained that a fundamental change in society can emerge only through a radical change in the individual, since society is the product of the interactions of individuals. Though he was very alive to contemporary issues through the decades, his answers were rooted in his timeless vision of life and truth. As such, his teachings transcend all man-made boundaries of religion, nationality, ide...

Judging by This Interview, Baldwin and Thom Yorke Would Make Great Drinking Buds...
There are a lot of thing that sound strange coming out of Alec Baldin's mouth via his now-ubiquitous deadpan delivery and talking about Radiohead would definitely be one of them. No, it's not an April Fool's joke, this really did happen. Thom Yorke stopped by Alec Bladin's radio show for a little chat. Via Stereogum:
... Yorke did recently serve as a guest on Here's The Thing, the WNYC radio show that Alec Baldwin, the man who played Donaghy on 30 Rock, hosts. That episode of the show is an hour-long conversation between the whiskey-voiced actor and the Radiohead frontman, and you can hear it below.
Some times truth is stranger than fiction.

While the Tramp had kicked obnoxious brats out of the way in early films, Chaplin's The Kid (1920) was an example of how the actor-director expressed his feelings about real children on the screen: an emotional story in which the Tramp adopted a foundling youth. Charles Maland explains how "Charlie and [Jackie Coogan's young boy character] exhibit a deep emotional bond. When Charlie cares for the infant in his comic improvised nursery, when the two perfect their window-breaking and repairing service . . . we see how close they have become" (Maland 1989: 57). Some authors have seen Coogan's character as a younger and more idealized Charlie, perhaps (to the current author) making a surprisingly realistic statement about how the real Chaplin could never completely revert to youth even within a film, within the icon. Notably, Chaplin's longing for childish innocence could still involve such things as window-breaking (albeit, here, wishfully for a good cause), so he didn't view childish innocence as a Goody-Two-Shoes "purity" so much as as a freedom from responsibility, the kind that inevitably resulted when he played teenage lover and, in real life, romanced such young women as Lita Grey. (Years later, Luc Besson's film Leon (The Professional) would put a macabre twist on Chaplin's window-breaking scene, when Jean Reno and his young adopted daughter/lover Mathilda "practice" for gangland hits with the same glee -- perhaps reflecting on how Chaplin's love of children in reality and as Charlie contrasted uncomfortably with child-bride relationships, which only took place with serious consequences outside of the Charlie persona.) At a time -- the early 1930s -- when Charlie's antics increasingly contrasted with the complexities of Chaplin's real life, the comedian would make (non-sexual) visits with children an important part of his life, as if to try to get closer to his icon. Importantly, it is clear from his private journals that the goal was personal and not for publicity. His British visit to the Hanwell Schools, where he had been a student in his lonely youth, was of great emotional value to him; the children there acclaimed him and he prepared gifts for them and a return visit. But, typical for the moody Chaplin, his empathy for children came and went: he instead lunched with Lady Astor on the planned day. "The press, who had also turned out in numbers, did not fail to point out the echoes of The Gold Rush in the tea table set out in the school dining hall for the guest who did not arrive." (quoted in Robinson 1985: 426) Charlie, forced in the words of Haraway to accept adulthood, clearly found it difficult to drift back to childhood frequently without becoming, perhaps, too aware of the dichotomy between what he would have liked to be and what he was. What did the critics say about Chaplin's relationship to childhood? Sergei Eisenstein's Charlie the Kid (1944) noted that the film's title was "worthy of being used to identify his creator; the appelation reveals his inner nature" (quoted in Robinson 1984: 90). Perhaps not precisely, but enjoying an idealized childhood unlike his own genuine infancy was clearly important to Chaplin. "[Chaplin] has preserved the outlook and spontaneous reactions of a child," Eisenstein went on, describing the icon, the film-Charlie. "Hence his freedom from the ordinary fetters of morals..." Eisenstein blurs Chaplin and Charlie somewhat here, and it is quite frankly no surprise: the icon was what the man wanted to be. As creator of the icon, the man -- while only sometimes one with his fictionalized image -- can be protected by it all the time. No matter how real, or partly real, the traits icons' creator-owners share with them may be, they are used as a lens to view the real person. So Chaplin, like Charlie, was freed more from the "fetters of morals" than your average comedian, all by virtue of his icon. That Chaplin held accountable for his non-childish traits at all was just one of those unfortunate benefits of living in reality some of the time.

There's no denying the tax benefits of funding a retirement account, one of which is the compound effect of tax-deferred growth. But your money can't avoid the IRS forever. That's why owners and beneficiaries of Traditional, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, qualified plans, and 403(b) accounts must meet the deadline of taking their required minimum distribution (RMD).
Failing to withdraw your RMD by the applicable deadline may result in you owing the IRS an excise tax of 50% of the RMD shortfall. If for any reason you miss your deadline, there are some steps you must take. (If you'd like to read about what RMD rules are and how to comply with them, see Tis The Season For Required Minimum Distributions and Avoiding RMD Pitfalls.)
Step 1: Pay the Excise Tax
The excise tax owed must be reported on IRS Form 5329 and IRS Form 1040 (your income tax return). (You can find these forms on the IRS website.) The step-by-step instructions will help you to figure out the excise tax owed:
It's important to make sure you use the correct version of Form 1040. If you are required to file Form 5329, then you are not eligible to use Form 1040-A or 1040-EZ. Instead, you must use Form 1040. Generally, Form 5329 is attached to your tax return. However, if by meeting certain exceptions you are not required to file a tax return (as explained in the instructions for filing Form 1040), you must file Form 5329 by itself and pay the excise tax owed. Be sure to complete the form with the requested information and enclose your check or money order made payable to United States Treasury. On the check write your Social Security number, the current tax year and "Form 5329". (For tips on how to avoid an excise tax, see Tax-Saving Advice For IRA Holders.)
Step 2. Request a Waiver
If you feel that you missed the deadline due to a reasonable cause, you may ask the IRS to waive the 50% excise tax. The request for waiver may be included in a letter of explanation, which you attach to your tax return (Form 1040) along with your Form 5329. When requesting a waiver, do not pay the excess accumulation penalty up front. Instead, follow the instructions for requesting a waiver in the Instructions for Form 5329. If the IRS does not honor your waiver request, you will be notified.
Step 3: Withdraw the Full Balance
If you are a beneficiary who inherited a retirement-account from an owner who died before his or her required beginning date (RBD) and you are required to distribute the assets over your life expectancy, you must begin withdrawing RMD amounts by December 31 of the year following the year in which the owner of the retirement account died. You must also withdraw an RMD amount by December 31 of each subsequent year.
While the excise penalty will generally apply if you did not withdraw the RMD amount on time, the penalty may be waived if you switch to the five-year rule and withdraw the full balance of the account by December 31 of the fifth year following the year the retirement-account owner died. Let's look at the following example:
In 2012, John inherited an IRA from his brother Ron who died at age 65. Since Ron died before his RBD, John has two options for distributing the IRA balance:
John chooses the life-expectancy option. The RMD for 2013 is $10,000, but John fails to withdraw any amount by December 31, 2013. If John wants to continue using the life-expectancy method, he will have to pay the IRS an excise tax of $5,000 and must file Form 5329. He may request a waiver if he feels the failure is due to a reasonable cause. John, however, will receive an automatic waiver of the penalty if he withdraws the account balance by December 31, 2017, the fifth RMD-year following the year Ron died.
It may not be practical to switch to the five-year rule solely because you missed the RMD deadline. Consult with a competent financial professional to determine whether it is more financially sound for you to pay the excise tax so that you continue enjoying tax-deferred growth (or tax-free growth in the case of a Roth IRA) or to accept the waiver and distribute the assets within the five-year period. (For information about the benefits of the benefits of continued tax-deferred growth, see the article Stretch Your IRA.)
Missing your RMD deadline can be a frustrating and costly mistake. To ensure it does not happen, take the necessary steps to make sure your distribution occurs by the applicable deadline. This includes making arrangements with your custodian for systematic or automatic withdrawals to occur on a predetermined date. Submit your withdrawal requests at least two months before the deadline and check your statements to ensure the correct amount was distributed from your account. Submitting your requests early allows sufficient time for any necessary adjustments. Talk to your financial institution about other ways it can help you to satisfy your RMD requirements.

When watching a video from gotoAndLearn( ) i saw that when you decompile a .swf file you will get to the code of it. The weird thing is that when looking at the code Flash adds lines with 'addFrameScript' in it. This is a undocumented function in the flash framework. Well ofc i wanted to know what it does.
AddFrameScript( framenumber, functionToExecute );
This function lets you execute a function on the frame you want to execute it. Ofcourse your flash movie must excist of more than one frame, otherwise it can't recall on which frame it is. Also you functions should be defined on the first frame of the file.
You can also trigger more functions in one call. That is done like so:
AddFrameScript( framenumber, functionToExecute, framenumber, functionToExecute, framenumber, functionToExecute );
Well, it's always fun to discover undocumented things
Have fun with it!

Intravenous therapy (IV) is the infusion of liquid substances directly into a vein. Many hospital inpatients need IV fluid therapy to deliver medications, for blood transfusion or as fluid replacement.
This may be because their normal needs cannot be met through enteral routes or because they have unusual fluid and/or electrolyte deficits or demands caused by illness or injury. Compared with other routes of administration, the intravenous route is the fastest way to deliver fluids and medications throughout the body.
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is typically used to administer fluid replacement (to prevent dehydration), anaesthesia, antibiotics, chemotherapy, nutritional support, pain control, and diagnostic testing (eg. central venous pressure, cardiac output, arterial pressure)
Access points can include peripheral, subclavian, jugular and femoral veins and depend on the age of patient, diagnosis, viability of veins, purpose of infusion, duration of therapy and type of drug.
Why is the control of IV therapy critical?
Control of IV therapy is critical because incorrect insertion and care can lead to complications such as thrombosis, phlebitis, and bloodstream infections with consequential issues of patient safety and additional treatment costs for health care providers.
Why are IV dressings important?
IV dressings are an integral part of IV management. They prevent trauma to the wound and cannulated vessel, secure the catheter and prevent contamination. Self-adhesive transparent, semi-permeable polyurethane film dressings enable visual inspection of the catheter site, they ensure stability and securement, protect from bacteria and liquid, while also allowing the skin to breathe
Download IV Dressing Selector
How has 3M addressed these challenges?
3M offers reliable, clinically proven solutions for managing a variety of infusion therapy sites. 3M's range of products is designed to reduce the challenges of device securement and site assessment, protect the sites from outside contaminants and improve skin health. 3M™ Tegaderm™ IV Dressings are available to secure and protect all types of catheters including peripheral, PICC, CVC (non-tunnelled & tunnelled), implanted ports, arterial and epidural catheters.
How to reduce catheter related bloodstream infections
Patients receiving intravenous medication are less likely to contract a bloodstream infection if the insertion site is covered by 3M's Tegaderm CHG IV securement dressing, now recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Following a medical technology assessment under the Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme, NICE published guidance supporting the use of Tegaderm CHG dressings to cover and protect central venous and arterial catheter insertion sites in critical care patients.
If used as standard practice, the Tegaderm CHG dressing has the potential to save the NHS in England between £4.2 million and £10.8 million each year based on data reviewed by the NICE Advisory Committee (estimated cost saving per patient of £73 based on a baseline CRBSI rate of 1.48 per 1000 catheter days, benefiting population of 80,000 to 260,000.)1

Washington (AFP) Oct 4, 2010
Google said Monday that Amazon, the NBA, Netflix, The New York Times, NBC Universal, USA Today and others will provide content and applications for the upcoming "Google TV."
Google TV, which the Internet search giant unveiled in May at a software developers conference in San Francisco, is to be available this month.
Developed in partnership with Sony, Logitech and Intel, Google TV allows users to mesh television viewing with surfing the Web.
Google launched a website, Google.com/TV, on Monday that provides an explanation of how Google TV works and gives information about how to purchase an Internet-enabled TV from Sony or a set-top box from Logitech.
Google TV, which is powered by Google's Android software and Chrome Web browser, can be accessed using the Sony TVs or set-top boxes from Logitech that route Web content to existing TV sets.
Pricing and the exact date of availability were not announced. Logitech is scheduled to hold a press conference on Wednesday and Sony is staging its own event next week.
Logitech boxes feature computer keyboards that act as Google TV remote controls. On-screen home pages let people search television programming as they do the Internet.
In a blog post on Monday, Google said it had partnered with a number of leading content providers for Google TV including Amazon's video on demand service and streaming movie rental company Netflix.
Ambarish Kenghe, developer product manager for Google TV, said other partners include news sites The New York Times and USA Today, music sites VEVO, Pandora and Napster and micro-blogging service Twitter.
Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting, whose television properties include TBS, TNT, CNN, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, is also a partner along with NBC Universal's financial news channel CNBC.
HBO, the network behind "The Sopranos" and other hit shows, will also make some of its programming available to Google TV users, Google said.
Google said the NBA has built "NBA Game Time," an application that lets users follow game scores in real-time and catch up on highlights.
"This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, you can expect to hear from more sites that are enhancing their Web content for the television," Kenghe said.
Google is not the first technology company to attempt to marry the TV set and the Internet and and a number of electronics manufacturers already offer Web-enabled televisions or digital set-top boxes.
Yahoo! jumped into the Internet television arena more than 18 months ago and Apple recently upgraded its offering, Apple TV.
Sony is among the electronics companies that have already brought Internet-capable televisions to market, but those sets have typically been limited to letting people access specific websites such as YouTube.

Not long ago, news broke that the New York Giants intended on working out a contract extension with head coach, Tom Coughlin. Based on previous years' extensions, the upfront idea was that Coughlin would receive another one-year extension. Now, however, it seems as though the possibility of a longer extension is something that John Mara and Jerry Reese would consider.
The Mara family has always valued loyalty and character, something Reese represents in full. Further, it goes without saying the Coughlin has brought in two Super Bowl Championships and managed teams that have faced some of the worst adversity in Giants history. With injury-riddled teams and contract disputes (many of which ended in veterans leaving the team), Coughlin remains stalwart in his management of Big Blue.
And for that, Tom Coughlin deserves a long-term, open-ended contract with the New York Giants that will last him until the end of his coaching career; a decision he will make himself.
Coughlin is not perfect, nor is any coach in the history of the NFL. He has made changes to his temperament in the way he handles his players, creating a Leadership Council made up of trusted, veteran players on the team. He is open to the feedback of the team, and yet, continues to coach as a "old-school," hard-nosed disciplinarian – certainly not an easy task.
There is also the issue of his unstable trend throughout the season. Often the Giants start strong (several times going 6-2 in the first eight games), but inevitably fall short later in the season. In fact, it was the success at the very end of the season, starting on Christmas Eve against the New York Jets, that the Giants clicked into gear and began their Super Bowl run.
The bottom line, though, is that Tom Coughlin is simply the right man for the New York Giants. He knows the team inside and out, and has proven that he can take even the most tested Giants teams to greatness. Coughlin is trusted by his players, the management, and the fans. He is also the caliber of man and coach that would admit if he was no longer fit for his role as head coach, the mark of a truly devoted leader.
As such, he has earned the right to stay as the Commander-in-Chief of Big Blue, and will likely go down as the greatest coach in Giants history.

Michalec Brings Big 12 Saves Record to Tri-City
Bumpers, Hoelscher, Thompson also join Dust Devils
By Matt Ward / Tri-City Dust Devils | June 11, 2014 7:29 PM ET
Josh Michalec joined the Tri-City Dust Devils on Wednesday. Michalec broke the Big 12 Conference and Baylor University single season saves record with 21 in the 2014 season. His 21 saves also ranked second in the nation. Though he only recorded saves in 2014, he is still third on the Baylor all-time saves list.
Michalec was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week on March 10. He is only the second Baylor pitcher to receive the honor. The right-hander was also a First-Team All-Big 12 honoree in 2014. Michalec was selected by the Rockies in last week's MLB First Year Player Draft. He was picked in the 21st round, 623rd overall.
Also joining the Dust Devils Wednesday are 2014 draft picks Sam Bumpers, Shane Hoelscher, and Dylan Thompson.
Bumpers is an infielder and was a 22nd round selection out of Lamar University. He was selected to the 2014 All-Southland Conference First-Team and won the Southland Newcomer of the Year in 2013. Bumpers holds Lamar single game records for the most total bases with 17 and most hits with seven. He also hit three home runs in the game, tying another school record. He led the Southland Conference with a .427 batting average in 2014.
Hoelscher, also an infielder, was picked in the 17th round from Rice. He was a First-Team All-Conference USA honoree. He played 218 games for Rice and had a .292 batting average in his college career.
Bumpers and Hoelscher were both named as Third Team All-Americans infielders by Collegiate Baseball News in 2014.
Thompson is a pitcher selected in the 31st round out of the University of North Carolina - Greensboro. He made 14 appearances there with a 2-4 record and a 5.46 ERA.
The Dust Devils will also have the 45th overall pick from the 2011 draft, Trevor Story, for the first two games of the season. Story has been playing for the Modesto Nuts of the High A California League. He is making a rehab visit to Tri-City before returning to Modesto in time to play in the California League All-Star game.
The first game to be played at Gesa Stadium will be on Wednesday, June 18th at 7:15 p.m. against the Everett AquaSox. All fans in attendance will receive a 2014 Dust Devils schedule magnet courtesy of Pizza Hut, and there will be postgame fireworks presented by CO-Energy immediately following the game. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by contacting the Dust Devils front office at (509) 544-8789, at the Gesa Stadium box office, online at www.dustdevilsbaseball.com, and at all TicketsWest outlets.

A review of
Medieval Merchant, by Christwart Conrad
A Rio Grande Game (1998) originally published in Germany by Goldsieber Spiele
Typical Retail Price: $39.95
Number of Players: 2 - 6
Medieval Merchant is one of the many games that Rio Grande has imported into the US from Germany. Like nearly all of the German games, it is beautifully made. The board is a 4-fold map of medieval Central Europe showing 25 cities and 20 towns and the major roads between them. The counters are either wood (for the 270 branch counters) or good, thick cardboard (for the city markers and other pieces). Also included is a stack of paper money, of the same quality as Monopoly money, but with nicer artwork. The graphic design of the box, board and pieces is very nice and attractive, with most of it done in an older style, to give the impression of a medieval game.
My expectation on opening the game was that it would be a trading game, transporting goods from city to city and making profit based on the distance between cities. But nothing could be farther from the truth! Despite appearances, Medieval Merchant is a game of controlling territory and getting monopoly control of the various towns and cities. Victory points are scored in several ways, the most important of which being by having the majority of trading houses in cities. The roads determine how your trading empire can expand. But I'm getting ahead of myself . . .
There are 25 Cities and 20 Towns on the game board. It should be noted that the rules didn't clearly explain the difference between Towns and Cities on our first reading. Towns are the small houses or castles on the map, and are usually connected to small roads that have a cost of less than 10. Cities are the large circles and have a number rating based on their size, ranging from 2 to 8. All of the Towns and Cites are connected by a network of roads, and each stretch of road has a cost associated with it. This is the cost in Guilders (the money) to open a branch in a city (or town) where you do not already have a branch. Each player can only do this once per turn.
How do you get Guilders? Each turn, you look at each City (not Town) where you have a branch. You can either build another branch in that same City, or take income from it. Income gets you Guilders, but building branches is how you get Victory Points. Also, since your income is smaller the more branches there are in the City, building branches early can limit you ability to expand (because of lack of money), but at the same time, leaves the City open to other players to come in and build.
Those are the basic rules of the game. There are no random factors in the game except for each players' starting point at the beginning of the game, but even here, each player gets to choose from 4-12 different places. To add an element of surprise to the game, each player starts the game with 2 Escort Letters. These may be exchanged for what amounts to an extra turn. So you can never be sure when one of your opponents is going to use one and build twice!
The game is designed for 2 to 6 players and plays well even with two players (although there are some rules alterations in a 2 player game).

A Whole Blood Gene Expression Profile of Untreated Children with Polyarticular JIA Enrolled in the TREAT Trial.

The Trial of Early Aggressive Therapy (TREAT) in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is a once-in-a-generation, multi-institutional trial comparing methotrexate with etanercept + methotrexate + prednisone as initial treatments of polyarticular JIA. To maximize the scientific utility of this trial, biological samples have been collected for translational research to answer questions of high relevance to the field of pediatric rheumatology; these samples include whole blood preserved in stabilizers to perform gene expression profiling. We report here the first translational study to emerge from the TREAT trial, which will be completed in late October, 2010.
We received 45 samples from children with untreated polyarticular JIA at the time of their enrollment within the TREAT trial. All children were rheumatoid factor negative. Of these 45 samples, RNA was degraded in 11 and was insufficient for microarray analysis on another 5. Thus, microarray analysis was performed on 29 children entering the TREAT trial and 19 healthy control children. RNA purification, assessment of RNA purity and integrity, labeling, and hybridization were all undertaken using conventional methods. The Illumina microarray platform was used and conventional biocomputational approaches were taken to identifying differentially expressed genes.
130 genes distinguished TREAT baseline from control samples with a 5% false discovery rate and a minimum 1.5-fold difference between groups. These genes were largely subsumed into 5 large overlapping networks, demonstrating that pathological systems, like physiologic systems, demonstrate a property referred to by systems biologists as modularity. Gene networks also showed the hub-and-node structure (scale free systems) that we have previously described in the pathologic networks associated with childhood-onset rheumatic diseases. As is typical with gene array experiments, signaling molecules (JNK, Akt) and transcription factors (MYC, HNF4A, NFkB) represented prominent hubs in these networks. Small groups of genes regulated by type 1 and type 2 interferons and TGFB were also seen. A network of IL-243-regulated genes, not previously recognized on our earlier array studies, was down-regulated in untreated JIA patients. Hierarchical cluster analysis of the array data suggested that the JIA subjects could be divided into 2 dichotomous groups. As the TREAT study is still blinded, it is not possible at the present time to determine whether there is a specific phenotype associated with those clusters.
Whole blood gene expression profiling of untreated subjects from the TREAT trial demonstrates multiple gene networks that distinguish children with polyarticular JIA from healthy control children. The complexity of these gene networks demonstrates the challenge still facing us in understanding JIA at the cell and molecular level. At the same time, translational samples collected from the TREAT trial will allow us to understand how these networks change in response to therapy and provide unprecedented insight into the biology of therapeutic response.

The Trouble-Free PC
Small Utilities
There are times when one specialized tool can be better than a CD full of general ones. We've handpicked 18 little programs that find lost files, secure data, manage files, tune up your PC, customize Windows Explorer, and more.
File and Data Recovery
Undelete Files for Free
When you accidentally erase your most precious photos or documents, you want to recover those files fast. Usually you can recover a deleted file from Windows' Recycle Bin, but if it's too big or if you held down <Shift> while deleting, it won't be in there. In such cases,Free Undelete offers an efficient solution tuned for the NTFS file system used on most Windows XP systems. Windows deletes files not by erasing the file from your hard disk but by designating areas of the disk occupied by deleted files as available for new files to occupy. Free Undelete searches these areas for recognizable data. If you act quickly after a mistaken deletion, you should see a list of your dearly departed files. Don't delay, though. If Windows writes over your file data, even Free Undelete will be powerless. Free
Disk Image for Data Recovery
You may back up your data religiously, but if your hard drive tanks or becomes irretrievably corrupted, you face the burdensome task of reinstalling and tweaking scores of applications. Acronis TrueImage doesn't just back up your data. This powerful tool takes a snapshot of your hard drive that you can store offline and then use to restore the drive to its earlier state, should disaster strike. TrueImage comes with a capable partitioning program that lets you create, resize, and remove partitions on a hard drive while preserving the files stored on them. You can partition an active disk and perform incremental backups as well. Its informative, streamlined interface and reliable operation enabled us to create multiple partitions and images without a hiccup. $50
The Ultimate Boot Disc
Even the bootable recovery CD that accompanies Norton SystemWorks is no match for Winternals ERD Commander 2005, a server-grade bootable CD that gives you access to a dead system's files, folders, and Windows XP restore points. It even bundles the Firefox Web browser so you can connect to the Internet to download software and transfer files over a network. The disc's Windows-like environment detects all your system hardware and includes look-alikes of the Registry Editor, the Windows Management Console (including Event Viewer and Disk Manager), and the System Restore tool. A file undelete application helps you recover vital data, while the Locksmith Wizard can restore access to a PC whose administrator password is lost or forgotten. Winternals ERD Commander 2005 provides things that a standard Windows boot disc can't. The product's only downside is its price--but hey, if you're locked out of your PC, it's cheap. $149

When I want to upload a song I can add an audio preview (MP3 format), and the main files ("ZIP – All files for buyers, not including preview images"). I suppose the main file is the hole project that can be opened in a recording software. If so, does audiojungle demand a specific recording software? The software I use to record is Reapper.
Hi, are you want to sell a song or a song wth source files ?
If you only want to sell a song you don't have to upload the source files, only the wav or mp3.
And btw… if it's for a song and it sounds professional you can use whatever software you want. Reaper it's cool
Tanks. Your answer was helpfull. Cheers
My Main app is Logic Pro for all the midi/scoring and creative stuff Protools for Editing and mixing Ableton Live on stage and for stretching things around. cubase 6 for correcting Vocals
I only use Reapper. I do all that with this software
Fernandestelecaster said
I suppose the main file is the hole project that can be opened in a recording software.
No, it's the end result of your project – a song in your case.
Wma for the buyer mp3 for the review/preview and http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/353/ get the watermark from this link and put it on the Mp3 file or it will get rejected.
You can add both to your ZIP-File for the buyer. mp3 AND wav. Makes the offer a bit more attractiv, 'cause the customer will get both and can choose.
The only different than between the mp3 in the customer-zip and th e mp3 in the preview is, that the preview needs the watermark.
I thought that Envato ads the watermark. Thank you for clarifying that.

Madrid part 2
Well our time here in Madrid and Spain are coming to an end. Tomorrow we head back to Barcelona for our final night in Spain and then we will be on our way home.
Today was a hot one 35 degrees, we had a lazy morning and then walked over and caught the Tourist Bus. Its odd here in Spain while the bus's are hop on and hop off, your ticket is good for the entire day. No one ever seems to get off the bus, just more people get on until its full. Everyone just rides around and looks at the scenery. We did get off the bus and go for a couple walks around to look at the area's and get a better feeling of the city.
We hopped off the bus in Chueca area of Madrid which is the gay district, some pride flags were out and they were busy setting up stages and venues for the weekend. Unfortunately we missed the pride parade in Barcelona and we miss the pride parade here in Madrid. But since our trip wasn't specifically planned to take in the pride events, we can always attend Calgary's pride parade.
Back on the bus we continued our way around and got off in the Puerto Del Sol area. The area has a huge shopping district, malls and store's everywhere you looked, and lots of shade that has been created by stringing up banners.
From here we decided not to get back on the bus, but to walk back to our apartment.
Madrid has some great buildings and again quite a different architectural style than Barcelona and Seville. There is lots of Roman influence in Madrid's buildings.
After our day out we found this Kebab house around the corner from our apartment. We shared some great fresh hummus and a bbq kebab platter, excellent food. Most of the food here in Madrid has been very good, there are lots of restaurants and cafes. The service just depends on the place, some have been great and others not so great.
As I said before, Madrid is a very large, busy and dirty city. The one thing I will not miss is the cigarette smoke, cigarette butts and garbage all over the place.

Libraries ramp up e-book lending
Libraries nationwide are finding more ways to go mobile.
After a tentative foray into digital lending on PCs and e-readers several years ago, public libraries are opening the next chapter for smartphones and tablet computers.
The movement kicked into high gear in September when Amazon finally turned on its Kindle for 11,000 local libraries, triggering a flood of new users. App developers are also working with libraries to enable book lovers to borrow on their smartphones.
"With more devices for consumers to try, they're going to get better," says Christopher Platt of the New York Public Library. "And the e-reading experience will get better."
The evolution is playing out amid some challenges, including an ongoing squabble between eager-to-grow libraries and publishers that fear copyright infringement and losing money on digital distribution, their fastest-growing segment of business.
Some large publishers — such as Simon & Schuster, Macmillan and Hatchette — refuse to sell to libraries, thus limiting the availability of popular titles.
Still, customers' appetite for e-book lending is growing unabated. According to Library Journal, public libraries increased their offerings by 185% this year. E-books will account for 8% of their materials budget in five years, it says.
The New York Public Library has quadrupled its e-book budget since 2009 and plans to spend $1 million this year, Platt says. The Seattle Public Library's e-book circulation grew by 92% in 2010, says Kirk Blankenship, its electronic resources librarian.
Some new developments will accelerate the growth pace. Among them:
•Kindle agreement. Unlike the rival Barnes & Noble Nook or Sony Reader, Amazon has refused to play ball with libraries on its Kindle until a few weeks ago.
When Amazon finally did e-book lending on the Kindle and app, the rocket in circulation was quick, says Mary Dempsey of the Chicago Public Library. The New York and Seattle library systems say their e-book lending has risen by more than 30% since Kindle's agreement.
•Smartphone options. Reading options for smartphones and tablet computers are emerging quickly. Kindle's app works on both Apple's devices and the Android operating system.
Overdrive, a large e-book distributor for libraries, released its app for e-books. It has seen over 2 million downloads since its release late last year. In a trial, 3M, another e-book distributor, will install a kiosk next month at several libraries for browsing e-books. Customers read using 3M's library app.
•Library apps. Some libraries are considering their own apps. Douglas County Libraries in Colorado is on tap to be the first in the country with its own app.
It's a "white-label" reader technology developed by Seattle-based Bluefire, says Monique Sendze, the information technology director for Douglas County Libraries. When released in December, the app promises to allow patrons to browse, check out and read books. Its e-book lending has grown about 1,200% since it introduced it in February 2010.
The Chicago Public Library, whose e-book circulation is up 380% this year, is considering a similar app, Dempsey says.
The e-book lending experience has had its share of growing pains. A common complaint is that popular titles often aren't found or are checked out with long waiting lists.
That three of the largest publishers won't sell to libraries remains a barrier, says Carrie Russell, director of the program on public access to information for the American Library Association. "Some publishers think they will eat into their profit. Soon (some books) will be only in e-book (format) and it'll be difficult to stock these books. In the past we didn't have that concern; we could buy any book on the market."
E-books' high costs have also kept some libraries in check. For example, the New York Library paid $31.99 for an electronic copy of the novel The Language of Flowers, which is sold on Amazon.com for about $11 to $12. "When we acquired it, we basically gave up two print copies of that," Platt says.
To bring down cost and increase availability, libraries are suggesting various proposals, all of which will require publishers' consent.
One proposed alternative is to get libraries to buy e-book titles in bulk in return for "simultaneous access," or allowing any number of library patrons to check them out. "People using e-readers don't want to wait," Platt says.
Some publishers, such as Lonely Planet and Liquid Comics, are already experimenting with the proposal, says David Burleigh, Overdrive's director of marketing. The Seattle Public Library also has a simultaneous access agreement with Safari Books for technology e-books that it bought in bundles.
"People think of libraries in an old-fashioned way," says Russell, in encouraging publishers to make more e-book titles available to libraries. "We put on a whole show for books. We expose other books to readers."
