ON THE DEATH OF ZHUKOV ON THE DEATH OF ZHUKOV Columns of grandsons, stiff at attention; gun carriage, coffin, riderless horse. Wind brings no sound of their glorious Russian trumpets, their weeping trumpets of war. Splendid regalia deck out the corpse: thundering Zhukov rolls towrd death's mansion. As a commander, making walls crumble, he held a sword less sharp than his foe's. Brilliant maneuvers across Volga flatlands found him, like Pompey, fallen and humbled- like Belisarius banned and disgraced. How much dark blood, soldier's blood did he spill then on alien fields? Did he weep for his men? As he lay dying, did he recall them- swathed in white sheets at the end? He gives no answer. What will he tell them, meeting in hell? "We were fighting to win." Zhukov's right arm, which once was enlisted in a just cause, will battle no more. Sleep! Russian history holds, as is fitting, space for the exploits of those who, though bold, marching triumphant through foreign cities, trembled in terror when they came home. Marshal! These words will be swallowed by Lethe, utterly lost, like your rough soldier boots. Still, take this tribute, though it is little, to one who somehow-here I speak truth plain and aloud-has saved our embattled homeland. Drum, beat! And shriek out, bullfinch fife! --Joseph Brodsky (b. 24 May 1940) Translation by George L. Kline George L. Kline: An Appreciation Of few areas in modern Russian studies in the United States can it be said that it is largely the creation of a single person, but that is true of the study of Russian philosophy. George Kline is responsible for the development of the field on at least three counts. First, his own pioneering analytical and critical studies provided models of serious investigation of both the history of Russian philosophy and contemporary Soviet Marxism. Second, Kline produced, unassisted or with the aid of others, the basic reference works and instructional materials that made possible the broad study of the field and the training of younger specialists. Finally, Kline helped to nurture those specialists (including many of those who have contributed to the present volume), either by serving as their teacher in a formal setting or by sustained informal counseling and encouragement. Because a comprehensive description and assessment of George Kline's work in Russian and Soviet philosophy (written by Philip T. Grier, one of the authors of the present book) was included in the volume Philosophical Sovietology: The Pursuit of a Science ( 1988), there is no need to recount Kline's scholarly achievements here in detail.1 The same volume also con tains a bibliography of all of Kline's authored, edited, or translated works in the field of Russian philosophy up to 1986; his relevant publications since 1986 are listed in a note below.2 We shall limit ourselves here to brief comments on a few of the landmark publications produced by Kline in the course of his career. In his first book, Spinoza in Soviet Philosophy ( 1952), Kline provided the English-speaking world with its initial exposure to some of the more interesting writings of Soviet philosophers through translations of articles on the philosophy of Spinoza by seven of the most talented representatives of Soviet dialectical materialism. In a lengthy historical and analytical introduction, Kline connected the work of these writers both with the pre- Marxist history of Russian philosophy and with broader currents in contemporary Marxism, such as the debate, crucial for the future of Soviet philosophy, between Deborinites and mechanists. Thus he used attitudes toward Spinoza to illuminate not only the facts of continuity and change in the history of Russian-Soviet philosophy but the major doctrinal rifts among contemporary dialectical materialists. A great service to the profession was provided in 1953 by Kline's complete English translation of the two-volume History of Russian Philosophy published in Paris in 1948-50 by the Russian migr idealist philosopher and religious thinker V.V. Zen'kovskii. This translation made available to English speakers an extremely valuable scholarly resource--a comprehensive, critical account of the entire panoply of Russian philosophical thought, beginning with the first emergence of independent philosophical reflection in the eighteenth century and ending with the mid-twentieth. Despite the subsequent appearance of other, more up-todate histories, none is as rich in analysis and detail as Zen'kovskii's, and consequently Kline's translation retains its value today as the most authoritative treatment of the subject in English--in Grier's words, "the standard account of the subject for most philosophical purposes . . . the single source most useful as a general survey and reference for the student of Russian philosophy."3 This translation, it is interesting to note, may also have had an impact in Russia: when a Russian-language version of Zen'kovskii's work was published in Moscow in 1956, in a small, numbered edition for distribution to Soviet specialists, it appears that the work was back-translated from Kline's English version.4 The nature of George Kline's contribution to another basic publication --the path-breaking three-volume anthology Russian Philosophy ( 1965) --has been obscured somewhat by the formal designation of the work as being edited by James M. Edie, James P. Scanlan, and Mary-Barbara Zeldin "with the collaboration of George L. Kline." In fact Kline, in addition to translating several of the original texts included in the volumes, was in practice a full co-editor, involved in virtually every decision from the selection of philosophers and texts to their arrangement and editorial treatment. More than that, Kline was the project's guiding spirit and final authority, since by comparison with him the three named coeditors were neophytes at the time. The availability of this work, which has now been in print for some thirty years, has allowed generations of students to become acquainted with the broad sweep of Russian philosophy through the writings of some of its most important representatives, from Grigorii Skovoroda in the eighteenth century to the Marxists and non-Marxists of the twentieth. Kline's 1968 book Religious and Anti-Religious Thought in Russia (a revised version of a series of lectures given in Cincinnati in 1964 under the auspices of the Frank L. Weil Institute for Studies in Religion and the Humanities) was the first extended treatment by an American philosopher of some important currents in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russian thought. Dealing with the interplay of religious and atheistic ideas in the thinking of ten important Russian writers, the book served to generate interest not only in the philosophical thought of those particular writers (some of whom--most notably Gor'kii--had not typically been approached from a philosophical perspective before) but also in the broad themes of God-seeking and God-rejecting that marked Russian thought in the years leading up to the Russian revolution. Particularly influential was Kline's identification in this work of the category of "Nietzschean Marxists," which was to be followed by intensive study of the impact of Nietzsche on Russian thought by Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal (a contributor to the present volume) and others.5 One final way worthy of note in which Kline's writings laid the groundwork for the further study of Russian philosophy was through his authorship of articles on the subject in philosophical encyclopedias and other reference works. As early as 1956 he contributed an article entitled "Current Soviet Morality" to the Encyclopedia of Morals edited by Vergilius Ferm . This was followed in 1961 by the article "Philosophy" in Michael T. Florinsky's Encyclopedia of Russia and the Soviet Union, and more importantly in 1967 by the major article "Russian Philosophy" and separate articles on fourteen leading Russian philosophers in the authoritative eightvolume Encyclopedia of Philosophy edited by Paul Edwards. In addition to these early writings, but in the same category of basic reference materials, is Kline's lengthy chapter on "Russian Religious Thought" in the Cambridge University Press volume Nineteenth Century Religious Thought in the West ( 1985), as well as articles in several recent and forthcoming dictionaries, handbooks, and encyclopedias, including the new, multivolume Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy, and the Encyclopedia of Time. George Kline's contributions to the field of Russian philosophy as a teacher also date from the early 1950s, when as a visiting professor at the University of Chicago from 1952 to 1953 he taught a course entitled "Russian Ethical and Social Theory"; subsequently he taught the same course at Columbia University during most years from 1954 to 1959. But it was at Bryn Mawr College, beginning in 1959 and extending for thirty-two years (until his formal retirement in 1991), that Kline had his greatest impact as a teacher. From 1962 on, his teaching at Bryn Mawr regularly included courses in the history of Russian philosophy and Russian and Soviet Marxism as well as various courses in Russian literature. During this period he also taught Russian philosophy as a visiting professor for a semester at the University of Pennsylvania and on another occasion at Douglas College of Rutgers University. In many ways as important as Kline's formal teaching is the informal help he has provided to a multitude of students and colleagues in the field, not only in the United States but throughout the world. Anyone who has sought George Kline's advice or assistance on some matter relating to Russian philosophy is fully aware of his remarkable readiness to share information from his vast store of knowledge, go over a translation, review a paper, or comment on a research project--all with the most careful and patient attention, the highest scholarly standards, and the most humane sensitivity to the needs and interests of others. Still others have benefited from Kline's energy and generosity without knowing it, as indirect recipients of his tireless service to the many journals, professional organizations, and scholarly projects in the Slavic field with which he has been associated. Most recently this has included work on the editorial boards of such journals as Russian Studies in Philosophy (formerly Soviet Studies in Philosophy) and Studies in East European Thought (formerly Studies in Soviet Thought) as well as service in many capacities to the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies. George Kline's work in Russian philosophy has been so extensive and so constant over a period of more than forty years that some may be surprised to learn that his scholarly energies are not exhausted by that field, or even by the broader area of Russian literature and culture, to which he has also made significant contributions. In addition, Kline has written and edited a great many publications in other areas of philosophy, most particularly on Marx and Marxism (apart from its Russian incarnation), on the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, and on the philosophy of Hegel and modern Continental European philosophy generally. It is in recognition of these accomplishments that Kline has been selected as president of both the Hegel Society of America ( 1984-86) and the Metaphysical Society of America ( 1985-1986). Perhaps the best testimony to Kline's stature in philosophy outside the Russian field is the fact that another festschrift, quite separate from the present volume and compiled by a different set of former students, friends, and admirers, is being prepared under the editorship of Shaun Gallagher; tentatively titled Hegel and Hermeneutics, it honors Kline for his achievements in the other areas of philosophy. There already exists in print an analysis and appreciation of Kline's work on Marx and (non-Russian) Marxism by Tom Rockmore, accompanied by a bibliography of Kline's writings in that area.6 Even apart from his achievements in other fields, however, George Kline's remarkable contributions to research and study in the field of Russian philosophy have earned him a place of honor in American and world scholarship.

Philosophical Sovietology, p. 246. Stanislav Dzhimbinov in his essay below implies that Zen'kovskii's original Russian text was used in this Soviet publication. But George Kline was informed by a On Resurrection by two Russians We have, then, in Solov'ev and Fedorov, two thinkers who for a time thought they believed in the same idea but who actually envisioned very different resurrections. Each thinker eventually rejected the most original parts of the other's idea. Both were enormously learned men, but each showed his learning in a different way: Fedorov pulled together obscure, disparate, apparently insignificant bits of overlooked information and made each little bit seem of great significance in the common task; Solov'ev drew attention away from erudition itself and toward only the conclusions of that erudition--one merely senses, without actually noticing, the mass of detailed information that lies behind a major idea. Fedorov's voice is that of the little man speaking up for those who cannot, the unlearned worker addressing a room full of learned men of leisure, the victim speaking to the ones in charge, the outsider who notices what the insider can no longer see. Solov'ev's voice is that of the prophet trying to be reasonable, the seer trying to speak in such a way that people will look up for themselves. As Trubetskoi says, Solov'ev was a mystic down to his toes. His great gift was to write with logical precision about the most nebulous intuitions, to give credibility to the most unlikely revelations; he excelled as the visionary in rationalist clothing. Fedorov was just the opposite. His writings seem to be a series of fantastic aphorisms, striking italicized phrases strung together into interminable sentences, quotable here, unreadable there, turgid stretches of intermittent lucidity. But under the disconnected surface lies the click of inevitability, an argument that can start with any casual observation about tombstones or handwriting and not end until all humanity is resurrected, the step-by-step insistence that made Dostoevskii remark when he first encountered Fedorov's thought: "Rarely have I read anything more logical."12 Solov'ev had a keen sense of humor, a levity directed first and most frequently at himself and at those ideas that he took most seriously. Fedorov could at times be ironical toward the ideas of others but by and large stood for sobriety and more sobriety. Solov'ev devoted much of his life to the ecumenical cause, requiring compromise and sacrifice on the part of individual confessions for the greater unity and good of all. Fedorov's idea of the joining together of faiths was for the Orthodox to be truly Orthodox, that is, to practice the task of resurrection, and let all others abandon their persuasions and join the one true task. Neither compromise nor coercion is necessary in Fedorov--by working on the resurrection project everyone will eventually see the truth of Orthodox Christianity with his own eyes and will become an Orthodox Christian in fact rather than by lip service. Both Fedorov and Solov'ev saw the sex drive as a problem in the world as it is. For Fedorov, the task of controlling the sex drive is part of the task of regulating nature. His emphasis throughout is on our duties as living children of departed parents. His solution is a literal unerotic brotherhood and sisterhood of everyone, without exception. With the resurrection of our ancestors, the need for childbirth, and all that precedes and follows, will end. Solov'ev's emphasis is on spiritualizing sex, integrating the masculine and feminine principles in ourselves and in the universe. His goal is not so much a universal brotherhood and sisterhood as a happy universal androgyny. Where Fedorov would shut down the erotic, Solov'ev would amplify, spiritualize, elevate, and transform erotic love into the force that will reunify all creation with the creator. In personal life, both were bachelor ascetics who lived simply and gave away most of what they earned--saints perhaps, but with very different paths: Fedorov, the humble librarian who labored tirelessly to help others and sought only obscurity for himself; Solov'ev, the courageous martyr who repeatedly risked all in public controversy, repeatedly championed another noble lost cause, publicly stated the unwelcome truth regardless of whom it offended. A hundred years after their agreements and disagreements on resurrection, Fedorov's technological projects may seem less fantastic than Solov'ev's spiritual tasks. We are probably further along in space travel, the creation of artificial organs, genetic engineering, and regulation of nature than we are in spiritual development, where we may even have lost ground in the last hundred years. As thinkers in today's post-Soviet Russia look back into the last century seeking intellectual guides for the future, one appealing feature of Fedorov's thought may be that the technological side of his vision no longer presents the barrier that it did to thinkers earlier in the century. We can appreciate the moral and spiritual side of his project today without having to dismiss the technological side as utopian eyewash. Our technological progress has made Fedorov's thought more plausible. On the other hand, with Solov'ev, the lack of spiritual advancement over the last century may be one reason for the renewed interest in his thought that we find in today's Russia. Solov'ev offers practical steps for precisely the kind of spiritual development that has been missing in the age of Soviet Marxist thought. source: Russian Thought after Communism: The Recovery of a Philosophical Heritage By James P.

Gordon Fowkes Humbug, and poppycock. Fascism lacks the clarity of intent, content and purpose that is common to the Southern Baptist Convention, Papacy, and UC Berkeley. The term "Fascist" is correctly linked to the Fascist party on Italy under Mussolini. Any extension of the term beyond that era and time, is pure Stalinist. The Fascist (Justice) party drove the Communist Party out of Italy during the Twenties, by Mussolini, a former Socialist. Stalin was furious that one of his former stooges kicked his ass out of Italy. There is little in common between Italian Fascism, German Nazism, and Spanish Nationalism (Falange) that is not also found between any other gaggle of isms. Fascism and Nazism started out in a fight with Catholicism until the Concordat and Spanish "fascism" was more Catholic than the Pope. Jews were included in the Fascist Council until Hitler made a ruckus when Italy became under German direct control.

I ran away today, so sick I was of the kitchen and everlasting food. Constant walls and a roof do something to me at any time and when the aspens turn golden, I seethe inside until finally I revolt and leave everything. The sun was just above Baldy when I walked to the Pueblo for the old white horse, but by the time I reached the trail leading to the top of Shumo, it was halfway up the heavens. Sumo has a round knoll on its top which is the highest spot in the valley, and I had to be on top of my world today. All the beauty of the valley lay below me. Beyond were mesas reaching westward to the Jemez with its masses of golden aspens. The whirring of a bird overhead and the rushing of the river far below me were the only sounds. If I were a leader of people on such a day I would send them out alone into the open. ... This is a day when life and the world seem to be standing still - only time and the river flowing past the mesas. I cannot work. I go out into the sunshine to sit receptively for what there is in this stillness and calm. I am keenly aware that there is something. Just now it seemed to flow in a rhythm around me and then to enter me - something which comes in a hushed inflowing. All of me is still and yet alert, ready to become part of this wave that laps the shore on which I sit. Somehow I have no desire to name it or understand. It is enough that I should feel and be of it in moments such as this. And most of the hatred and ill will, the strained feeling is gone - I know not how. No, it is not what Ouspensky experienced when he was drawn by the waves into them, becoming all - mountain, sea, sky, ship. I am I and earth is earth - mesa, sky, wind, rushing river. Each is an entity but the essence of the earth flows into me - perhaps of me into the earth. And to me it is more than a few seconds' experience. Nor is it any longer strange but natural, not ecstatic but satisfying. T he detail of life becomes the scaffolding. Even in these rushed days there is such peace between. There are moments when two eagle feathers can fill me with joy; when the last rays of the sun touch my forehead as I stand by the kitchen door; when the outline of To-tavi is marked in rhythm against a clear western sky; when even the wind is part of it all. Surely such moments do something to me. If not, it is because I hide beneath the pettiness. I have no apparent goal. I only know that I am living a day at a time as I feel the way. Today the sun shines here, but the clouds hand low on the Sangre peaks and beyond Shumo. Again I have touched the fringe of the unknown and been drawn to it, not by my seeking, which is the only real way. As I worked. .. there came without warning a flowing into me of that which I have come to associate with the gods. I went to the open door and looked up at the mountains with something akin to awe. It forced me out into the open where I could look up those sacred high places on which humans do not dwell. Then it left me - perhaps to return tot hose sacred places. I had almost forgotten how to lie curled on the ground or here on my couch, content just to look and feel and enjoy the thoughts that come. Rushing with things to be done crowding is such a waste of living. There need to be hours of this. ... I am glad that the years of adjustment are over and than there has come to me this new relationship with all of earth. I know that I was never so aware of the river and the trees; that I never walked so eagerly looking for the new wild things growing. I know that I have had to grow sufficiently - no, to cast off enough of civilization's shackles so that the earth spirit could reach me. This morning I stood on the river bank to pray. I knew then that the ancient ones were wise to pray for peace and beauty and not for specific gifts except fertility which is continued life. And I saw that if one has even a small degree of the ability to take into and unto himself the peace and beauty the gods surround him with, it is not necessary to ask for more. mlp http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=35015 In October of 1986, Church took her life in accordance with the principles of the Hemlock Society; she was eighty-three. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL more mlps...to muddle water a bit http://bangordailynews.com/2014/08/19/opinion/contributors/penobscot-nation-suin g-maine-to-fight-for-namesake-river/ http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2015/07/13/dirty-dealing-china-and-internatio nal-money-laundering/ Dirty Dealing: China and International Money Laundering By Stanley Lubman Stanley Lubman, a long-time specialist on Chinese law, is a Distinguished Lecturer in Residence at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law.

Personal preferences are governed under due process of divorce proceedings. I see the next challenge for equality clause is minor/children CAN argue before the court that they have their constitutional rights to choose who is qualified to be their guardians to shoulder adoptive parenthood against any wishes of their biological bearers. As a matter of reported fact, Rachel Dolezal has already won her lawsuit to act as guardian/parent for her other adoptive sibling, effectively void her parents' legal standing in that regards.

Requiem for the Export-Import Bank Ronald D. Rotunda Jul 7, 2015 Requiem for the Export-Import Bank Bank VaultIn 2008, shortly before Senator Barack Obama was elected president, he said that the Export-Import Bank "ha[d] become little more than a fund for corporate welfare." That was then; this is now. The president currently supports reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank. He was right the first time, when he was Senator. Now, a majority of the Democrats in the House and Senate, coupled with a minority of Republicans may extend, yet again, this symbol of corporate welfare and government waste. The opponents of the Export-Import Bank include a coalition of conservative Republicans and some liberal Democrats. Bank opponents include Republican Senate Banking Committee chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), and Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). All the Republican presidential candidates who have spoken on the issue have opposed the Export-Import Bank. If Congress reauthorizes this Bank, it will be evidence that the closest thing to immortality that the hand of man has ever created is a government agency spending money as fast as a drunken sailor on shore leave. The argument for the Ex-Im (what it is popularly called within the Washington beltway) is that it arranges taxpayer-backed funding given to foreign businesses and governments if they agree to buy U.S. products. Taxpayers give money to help major corporations. Last year alone, Ex-Im gave $20 billion in financing exports. Of that amount, 40% went to Boeing. We subsidize foreign governments and foreign corporations to buy Boeing jets, leading the Air Line Pilots Association to complain that (courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer) foreign airline carriers can offer subsidized prices, thereby undercutting American carriers. Since 2007, almost half of all the Ex-Im money "goes to support that plucky little start-up called Boeing. Air India got $5 billion to purchase Boeing aircraft, allowing them to undercut American carriers like Delta with their own tax money," said Tom McClintock (Rep. Calif.). Since 2009, Ex-Im has given state-owned foreign airlines over $16 billion in subsidized financing. Supporters claim that Ex-Im money creates American jobs. It does subsidize some jobs but also destroys others. Ex-Im funding redistributes jobs to some industries in the United States and ships other jobs overseas. For example, Ex-Im gave a $694 million direct loan to fund an iron ore project in Australia. Clifford Smith, Executive Vice President of Cliffs Natural Resources (America's largest producer of iron ore), testified before Congress in June that this subsidy is one reason that domestic iron ore operations have laid off or notified 1,200 American workers of upcoming layoffs. Gina Rinehart, Australia's billionaire mining heiress, benefitted from the transaction while American workers received lay-off notices. As the nonpartisan Congressional Research Office noted, "By providing financing or insurance for exporters, Ex-Im Bank's activities draw from the financial resources within the economy that would be available for other uses. Such opportunity costs, while impossible to estimate, potentially could be significant." Economists call this opportunity cost. When you spend money in one area, you cannot spend it someplace else. When the government subsidizes some companies, it hurts other companies. Proponents of Ex-Im claim that we need Ex-Im to supports exports. Yet, this multibillion dollar agency affects only two percent of American exports. Ex-Im also sub-subsidizes many foreign corporations. One example is Sinopec, a very large oil company owned by the Chinese government. Sinopec provided management, engineering, and construction services to another company that the Government of China owns, the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). Ex-Im provided a $200 million guarantee to the Chinese bank financing the deal. In other words, one arm of the Chinese government is selling services to another arm of the Chinese government, all subsidized by us, U.S. taxpayers. CNOOC was not the only beneficiary of the Ex-Im largess. Another benefactor was Royal Dutch Shell, the largest European company, measured by revenue. So, while the Administration is telling us that we must move away from carbon-based fuels, it is simultaneously subsidizing carbon-based fuels abroad. Go figure. The Ex-Im Bank is now 80 years old, expired on June 30, so there is a major push to resurrect it from death. It is keeping its doors open and has not laid off any workers. Its supporters think that they can attach, to a must-pass highway trust fund bill, a law extending this bit of corporate welfare another five years. With the president behind it and with its big corporate backers, it may come back from the dead. If Congress makes no move to resurrect the Ex-Im Bank, no jobs will be lost because its demise does not affect the many deals it has already approved. However, its passing will stop future losses. Right now, taxpayers are on the hook for $140 billion of possible defaults. We expect the government to give welfare to the poor, to provide a safety net. It is harder to justify welfare to the rich. The Ex-Im Bank is welfare to the rich. From 2007 to 2014, Boeing received nearly $70 billion in benefits; General Electric was a piker receiving only $8.3 in benefits. Bechtel Corp. was next with a mere $5.2 billion in benefits. In a typical year, e.g., 2013, about 60 percent of Ex-Im money goes to benefit just 10 U.S. companies, which enables foreign companies to undercut U.S. companies. Ex-Im subsidizes exports to Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, and China. These countries are hardly our strongest allies. Ex-Im claims that it helps small business. Boeing, Bechtel, and GE are not small businesses. Even when Ex-Im does help a few "small businesses," it uses a definition of "small" that is hardly intuitive. In the Ex-Im lexicon, it defines a "small business" as a company with up to 1,500 employees and $21.5 million in revenue. Siemens exported three dozen wind turbines to two Peruvian wind farms in 2014, and the U.S. Export-Import Bank provided $65 million in taxpayer financing. On its webpage, Ex-Im proudly announced that this subsidy won Ex-Im's "Deal of the Year and Renewable Exporter of the Year awards to Siemens Energy Inc. The Ex-Im Bank Chairman said, "This financing helps ensure that the turbines helping to power Peru are made here in the U.S. by American workers, rather than in a competing country." The fly in the ointment is that Ex-Im financing came after one of the two wind farms was already completed. The other wind farm was under construction, and parties signed contract months before any Ex-Im financing. It should be hard for Ex-Im to take credit for causing a deal when the deal came to pass months before Ex-Im offered to provide any subsidy. The Export-Import Bank claims that it does not cost taxpayers any money: "In the past fiscal year alone, Ex-Im Bank earned for U.S. taxpayers more than $1 billion above the cost of operations." Supporters, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, also claim that the Export-Import Bank pays for itself and even makes a profit. If that were true, it would be the greatest miracle since five barley loaves and two fishes fed over 500 people. Let us examine that claim. What we find is that Ex-Im is engaging in creative accounting. After all, if the Export-Import Bank really runs like a business making a profit, it would not have to be a federal agency. It would just be a regular bank lending money to earn profits for its shareholders. Instead, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office concluded last year that "the Bank will effectively lose $2 billion over the next decade" if it applies the generally accepted accounting standards that public corporations apply. And then there is the problem of fraud. In the last six years, the federal government has referred 65 difference matters to prosecution. Thus far, it has issued 31 arrest warrants and 85 indictments, secured 48 criminal judgments, and recovered a quarter of billion dollars in fines, restitution, and forfeiture. With this much smoke, one wonders how much more fire there is. It is time for this 80-year-old bank to die a natural death. Ronald D.

Ballad of Orange and Grape Muriel Rukeyser (1973) After you finish your work after you do your day after you've read your reading after you've written your say -- you go down the street to the hot dog stand, one block down and across the way. On a blistering afternoon in East Harlem in the twentieth century. Most of the windows are boarded up, the rats run out of a sack -- sticking out of the crummy garage one shiny long Cadillac; at the glass door of the drug-addiction center, a man who'd like to break your back. But here's a brown woman with a little girl dressed in rose and pink, too. Frankfurters, frankfurters sizzle on the steel where the hot-dog-man leans -- nothing else on the counter but the usual two machines, the grape one, empty, and the orange one, empty, I face him in between. A black boy comes along, looks at the hot dogs, goes on walking. I watch the man as he stands and pours in the familiar shape bright purple in the one marked ORANGE orange in the one marked GRAPE, the grape drink in the machine marked ORANGE and orange drink in the GRAPE. Just the one word large and clear, unmistakable, on each machine. I ask him: How can we go on reading and make sense out of what we read? -- How can they write and believe what they're writing, the young ones across the street, while you go on pouring grape into ORANGE and orange into the one marked GRAPE --? (How are we going to believe what we read and what we write and we hear and we say and we do?) He looks at the two machines and he smiles and he shrugs and smiles and pours again. It could be violence and nonviolence it could be white and black women and men it could be war and peace or any binary system, love and hate, enemy, friend. Yes and no, be and not-be, what we do and what we don't do. On a corner in East Harlem garbage, reading, a deep smile, rape, forgetfulness, a hot street of murder, misery, withered hope, a man keeps pouring grape into ORANGE and orange into the one marked GRAPE, pouring orange into GRAPE and grape into ORANGE forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL mlp http://asmir.theremin.ru/downloads.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lon_Theremin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL 10 wackiest party http://www.lolwot.com/10-of-the-wackiest-political-parties-in-the-world/4/ There is one place that comes to mind when you hear this party's name -- New York City.

You, whose smart pen backed up the pencil's laugh, Judging each step as though the way were plain; Reckless, so it could point its paragraph, Of chief's perplexity, or people's pain. Beside this corpse that bears for winding sheet The stars and stripes he lived to rear anew; Between the mourners at his head and feet, Say, scurril jester, is there room for you? Yes, he has lived to shame me for my sneer, To lame my pencil and confute my pen-- To make me own this hind of princes peer, This rail-splitter, a true-born king of men. My shallow judgment I have learned to rue, Noting how to occasion's height he rose; How his quaint wit made home-truth seem more true, How, iron-like, his temper grew by blows. How humble yet how hopeful he could be; How in good fortune and in ill the same; Nor bitter in success nor boastful he, Thirsty for gold, nor feverish for fame. He went about his work, such work as few Ever had laid on head and heart and hand, As one who knows where there's a task to do, Man's honest will must Heaven's good grace command; Who trusts the strength will with the burden grow, That God makes instruments to work His will, If but that will we can arrive to know, Nor tamper with the weights of good and ill. So he went forth to battle on the side That he felt clear was Liberty's and Right's, As in his peasant boyhood he had plied His warfare with rude Nature's thwarting mights; The uncleared forest, the unbroken soil, The iron-bark that turns the lumberer's ax, The rapid that o'erbears the boatman's toil, The prairie, hiding the mazed wanderer's tracks, The ambushed Indian and the prowling bear-- Such were the deeds that helped his youth to train: Rough culture, but such trees large fruit may bear, If but their stocks be of right girth and grain. So he grew up, a destined work to do, And lived to do it; four long-suffering years' Ill-fate, ill-feeling, ill-report, lived through, And then he heard the hisses changed to cheers, The taunts to tribute, the abuse to praise, And took both with the same unwavering mood; Till, as he came on light, from darkling days, And seemed to touch the goal from where he stood, A felon hand, between the goal and him, Reached from behind his back, a trigger prest, And those perplexed and patient eyes were dim, Those gaunt, long-laboring limbs were laid to rest! The words of mercy were upon his lips, Forgiveness in his heart and on his pen, When his vile murderer brought swift eclipse To thoughts of peace on earth, good will to men. The Old World and the New, from sea to sea, Utter one voice of sympathy and shame! Sore heart, so stopped when it at last beat high, Sad life, cut short, just as its triumph came. A deed accurst! Strokes have been struck before By the assassin's hand, whereof men doubt If more of honor or disgrace they bore; But thy foul crime, like Cain's, stands darkly out. Vile hand, that brandest murder on a strife, Whate'er its grounds, stoutly and nobly driven; And with the martyr's crown crownest a life, With much to praise, little to be forgiven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL The Justices got bullied into supporting it ..? the 5 justices that formed majority got 'bullied' 'cause there is no law against 'prejudice' formed by old institutions like Harvard ...like Trinity... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Freeman Dyson's review of 'Half Life' What do we learn from spy stories like this one? If Pontecorvo was a spy, the main effect of his spying was to advance the building of a nuclear reactor in the Soviet Union by a few years. The Canadian reactor may have provided some information that was useful for Soviet bomb designers, but the overall effect of Pontecorvo's information could not have been militarily important. With or without Pontecorvo, the Soviet Union had enough competent bomb designers to produce all the bombs that it needed. Other technical spies, Klaus Fuchs and Ted Hall, were inside Los Alamos and gave up-to-date information about bomb designs to their Soviet contacts. But this information too had only a minor effect on the history of Soviet weapons development. Perhaps the spies accelerated the production of the first Soviet bombs by two or three years, but those bombs soon became obsolete and were superseded by new designs invented without the help of spies. Technical spies were unimportant because the Soviet Union had plenty of first-rate scientists working in the relevant areas of nuclear physics. In 1939, immediately after the discovery of fission, the first paper describing in detail the possibilities for nuclear power reactors was published in the open Soviet literature by Yakov Zeldovich and Yulii Khariton. Fifteen years later, Khariton was director of the Soviet bomb laboratory at Sarov, and Zeldovich was a member of his team of brilliant theoreticians, working with Andrei Sakharov to design hydrogen bombs. If a country has this kind of home-grown technical talent, it does not need technical spies to make progress. If a country does not have this kind of talent, technical spies will not be an effective substitute. In either case, the contribution of technical spies will be marginal. Science is a collective enterprise, and needs a community of active participants to succeed in any large venture. The public vastly overrates the importance of technical spies such as Klaus Fuchs, because the same word "spy" is used for technical spies and for tactical spies. The archetype of the tactical spy is Judas Iscariot, the secret enemy betraying his master and directly causing his master's death. For two thousand years, the story of Judas has been linked with the image of a spy in the cultures of Europe. Another tactical spy, not quite as notorious as Judas, was Kim Philby, a British intelligence officer who held high positions in the British diplomatic service. He gave his Soviet contacts lists of names of undercover agents operating in various countries, so that Soviet authorities could quickly eliminate them. He was directly responsible for many disappearances. Tactical spies are rightly condemned by public opinion and by the traditional rules of war. They have immediate effects on the life and death of fellow citizens. They are fair game for any soldier to kill, with or without a legal trial. But technical spies are different. Technical spies are more concerned with things than with people. Another spy story illustrates the general truth that technical spies do not do much harm. When I first came to America as a graduate student at Cornell University in the fall of 1947, I got to know two young families who were building homes side by side in Ithaca. In those days of postwar scarcity, the wartime ethic of helping neighbors and sharing resources still prevailed. The graduate students helped to build houses for the young professors. I have a vivid memory of the joyful winter day when we pulled on the ropes with all our strength and hauled the two rooftrees into place. The fathers were Alfred Sarant, a junior professor of engineering, and Bruce Dayton, a junior professor of physics. Each had a wife and two young children. In the spring of 1948 we celebrated with them when they moved into their new homes. They left in our minds a lasting image of American friendliness and competence. One morning two years later, Alfred Sarant's wife woke up and found her children still asleep and her husband missing. The same morning, Bruce Dayton found his children still asleep and his wife missing. Alfred and Carol had disappeared from the face of the earth. Cornell University was in an uproar, and the whole country joined in the search for the missing pair. No trace of them was found. I heard nothing more of them for sixty-two years. Then in 2013 I met in California a Russian lady who is married to a Russian mathematician. They had emigrated some years earlier from Russia to the US. After a few minutes of conversation, I was able to tell the Russian lady that I had known her parents. She is a daughter of the missing pair. She told me that her father had a distinguished career in Russia as a leading designer of computers. Unlike Pontecorvo, he changed his name to Filipp Staros and was able to pass in Soviet society as a Russian. Filipp and Carol raised four Russian children. When Filipp died in 1979, the official Soviet newspaper Izvestiya published a glowing obituary, celebrating his achievements and his services to the Soviet people, and not mentioning his foreign ancestry or his undercover activities. So Staros achieved what was denied to Pontecorvo, being acclaimed by his adopted country as a great scientist and not as a chewed-up spy. Twelve years later, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, Carol returned to the US and was reunited with her original husband. When I spoke with her Russian daughter, Carol and Bruce were still alive, enjoying a peaceful old age in California. So their story had a happy ending. The beginning of their story was not so happy. Sarant was in fact a Soviet spy, working in a ring organized by Julius Rosenberg and including another engineering colleague, Joel Barr. The ring operated successfully for several years during and after World War II, while the three spies were engaged in various kinds of secret work. Then Rosenberg was arrested and executed, and Barr and Sarant--along with Carol, who had not been a spy--escaped to Russia. Joel Barr became Iosif Berg. Staros and Berg lived openly with their Russian names, and their past history as spies was forgotten. A Communist society gave them some of the opportunities that they and Rosenberg had dreamed of when they were idealistic left-wing students at the City College of New York and Cooper Union in the 1930s. With the help of Nikita Khrushchev, who was then trying to modernize the Soviet Union, Staros and Berg built a high-tech city with the name Zelenograd, intended to be the Soviet equivalent of Silicon Valley. Zelenograd flourished under their leadership and became a center of electronic and computer industries.* It is difficult to weigh the good that they did in providing modern electronic technology to Russia against the evil that they did to the United States by spying. I do not pretend to be unbiased in my judgment. Having known Alfred and Carol personally, I find that the good greatly outweighs the evil in their lives. My meeting with their daughter only confirms this conclusion. Why then does the American public still consider all spies to be demons? Why does the public make no distinction between technical spies like Julius Rosenberg stealing useful knowledge and tactical spies like Kim Philby destroying human lives? Perhaps it is because the American public is misled by the American secrecy system. The secrecy system is a bureaucratic monster that classifies vast quantities of information as secret, making it impossible for the ordinary citizen to see the difference between important and unimportant secrets. I have observed the secrecy system from the inside for many years and I faithfully obey its rules. But I consider it profoundly harmful to national security as well as to public morality. It is habitually abused to protect ineffective weapons and tactical mistakes from public scrutiny. And it is abused to protect illegal and unconstitutional activities such as ill-treatment of prisoners and domestic spying. Of the millions of official documents that are stamped "Secret" every year, perhaps 1 or 2 percent contain real secrets. A real secret is one that would cause real danger if our enemies got hold of it. The rest of the so-called secrets are mostly the result of bureaucratic caution. The system rewards caution, because the penalties for revealing secrets are severe, but there are no penalties for putting "Secret" stamps on harmless pieces of paper. Among the millions of harmless pieces of paper are many that are stamped "Secret" because they contain information that could be politically embarrassing to the government. A radical reform of the secrecy system is long overdue. Real secrets should be rigorously protected, as they are in the existing system. The rest should be thrown open, accepting the risk that some of them will be dangerous. The dangers of disclosure of unimportant secrets are outweighed by the advantages of openness. The reduction of the volume of secrets will reduce the number of people who require security clearances. Fewer secrets will mean fewer clearances and fewer spies inside the security fences. Outside the security fences, a more open society means more public awareness and more participation of citizens in deciding questions of war and peace. Our spy stories are teaching us the same lesson as our strategic mistakes in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq. Secrecy in the making of important decisions is the greater evil, and spies are comparatively harmless. Spies may cause us to lose a battle, but secrecy protecting political decisions from scrutiny may cause us to lose a war. source: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2015/mar/05/scientist-spy-genius-bruno- pontecorvo/ Lon_Theremin is the enigma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lon_Theremin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL this is a calling to renew civil war $ history repeats itself. remember the strange case of Fitz John Porter ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitz_John_Porter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL you seemed like a spread-out wide guy. long live internationale! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL US passed TPP love dmarti's plan http://advogato.org/person/dmarti/diary/624.html what is NOT there is useful... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL words are pointers ... meaning is just manifestation of human intention/initiation/reaction to G-god's commandments.

The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday reversed the murder conviction of Hemy Neuman, who was found guilty but mentally ill by a DeKalb County jury in the fatal shooting of Rusty Sneiderman outside a Dunwoody day care center. Sneiderman was the husband of Neuman's employee and alleged paramour, Andrea Sneiderman, who is fighting her own convictions for perjury and obstruction with regard to the investigation and trial of Neuman. Voting 6-1, the court ruled for Neuman on the basis that a DeKalb judge erred in forcing the defense to turn over to prosecutors notes and records of two mental health professionals, a psychologist and forensic psychiatrist, who evaluated Neuman for the defense. Neuman's attorneys hadn't intended to call the psychologist and psychiatrist as witnesses at trial, but after the court provided prosecutors their notes, the defense called the witnesses in its case-in-chief, in anticipation the state would call them as rebuttal witnesses. Writing for the majority, Justice Carol Hunstein said the notes and records were protected by the attorney-client privilege. She rejected the state's argument that Neuman had waived the privilege by raising an insanity defense. Justice Harold Melton dissented, citing a waiver form Neuman signed when he met with the mental health professionals.

Disinherited, annulled, finally disacknowledged and all of my own asking. I keep that wild dimension of life and making and the spasm upon my mouth as I say this word of acknowledge to you forever. Ewig. Two o'clock at night. 2 While this my day and my people are a country not yet born it has become an earth I can acknowledge. I must. I know what the discknowledgement does. Then I do take you, but far under consciousness, knowing that under under flows a river wanting the other : to go open-handed in Asia, to cleanse the tributaries and the air, to make for making, to stop selling death and its trash, pour plastic down men's throats, to let this child find, to let men and women find, knowing the seeds in us all. They do say Find. I cannot acknowledge it entire. But I will. A beginning, this moment, perhaps, and you. 3 Death flowing down past me, past me, death marvelous, filthy, gold, in my spine in my sex upon my broken mouth and the whole beautiful mouth of the child; shedding power over me death if I acknowledge him.

It was entertaining and enlightening to see Russia from a courageous foreign capitalist's angel, right after the collapse of rules long upheld as 'truth' by communism/marxism. Mr. Browder estimated, 140 million Russians, possibly 1 millions can be counted on as righteous. And for his company Hermitage Capital Management, he employed three most capable Russian lawyers. When they were targeted by Putin's State prosecutorial discretion, two of them fled the country. One refused to leave Russia since he believed it is 1937 no more and he had done nothing wrong, Sergei Magnitsky ended up dead in the prison on Nov. 16, 2009. After Browder's youtube video crying out loud for Sergei's death in the hands of Russian State, another Russian came to him providing Swiss bank transactions, more damaging evidence to further establish 'Tax Princess' as guilty in the eyes of people. "Alexander Perepilichnyy, 44, collapsed and died in the road in Weybridge, Surrey on 10 November 2012." http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-surrey-22814331 I must say I am most touched by Mr. Browder's fighting spirit. Yet how do we measure the victorious solidarity for injustice individuals experienced and endured in all nations under State's prosecutorial discretions? Must we plead mercy from more enlightened States to render sanctions towards Evil Putin? And how can we, the outsiders, ensure that 1 million out of 140 millions Russians is going to be more than just 1 million minus 4 to fight for their future in their Fatherland with righteous people world wide ?

It would be wrong to assume that the Putin regime does not need or ignores Russian civil society. The relationship is much more complicated. Karl Marx said that bourgeoisie begets its own grave-digger, the working class. In the same manner, authoritarian modernizations (that is, state-directed and state-policed modernizations, like those in Singapore or China or in Russia under Peter the Great) beget civil society, and it's the regime's choice whether to make it an ally and resource of further development, or let it dig the grave for the obsolete political arrangement. The Russian regime's ultimate strategy is to use civil society for its own purposes by keeping it (as well as any private initiative) under the state's control, which of course is totally incompatible with the notion of civil society as a self-organizing and free institution. To this end, the regime nurtures loyal and Kremlin-organized civil activity ("imitated civil society") and goes after any independent action if it has the smallest political tinge. Of course, in between are numerous politically neutral initiatives (i.e. charities, social services, leisure associations) which remain below the "radar" of the state. Neither of the three categories is thriving. "Imitated" civil activity is in most cases a non-starter; "opposition-minded" NGO's are being hounded as "foreign agents" and otherwise repressed; the "neutral" are surviving. ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL revision of Mao Zedong's idiom Borrowing the famous Mao Zedong statement, the Russian Minister of Culture formulated the creed of his "cultural policy": Let a hundred flowers bloom, but we will water only those we like.

I love that cabbage-white as if it were a fulttering corner of truth itself! At dawn the crowds get our silent planet going with their running. The park fills with people. To each one there are eight faces polished like jade, for every situation, for the avoidance of mistakes. To each one, also, the invisible face that mirrors "something one doesn't talk about." Something that turns up in tired moments and is acrid like a mouthful of adder-brandy with its lingering scaly aftertaste. The carp in the pond move perpetually, they swim while they sleep, they are models for the faithful: always in motion. 2. It's midday. The washing flutters in the grey sea-wind high above the cyclists who come in dense shoals. Mind the labyrinths to left and right! I'm surrounded by written signs I can't interpret, I'm totally illiterate. But I've paid what I should and have receipts for everything. I've accumulated so many illegible receipts. I'm an old tree with withered leaves that hang on and can't fall to the earth. And a puff of air from the sea makes all those receipts rustle. 3. At dawn the crowds get our silent planet going with their tramping. We are all aboard the street. It is packed like the deck of a ferry. Where are we going? Are there enough teacups? We can count ourselves lucky getting aboard this street! It's a thousand years before the birth of claustrophobia. Behind each one of us hovers a cross that wants to catch up with us, overtake us, unite with us. Something that wants to creep up behind us and cover our eyes and whisper, "Guess who!" We look almost happy out in the sun, while we are bleeding fatally from wounds we don't know about. Too Much of the Air: Tomas Transtromer How can I write like this? http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/too-much-air-tomas-transtromerMy first glimpse of Tomas Transtrmer was many years ago in Provincetown, Massachusetts as he ducked his head under the metal lip of a twelve-seater plane's exit door, then stepped hesitantly down the stairs to firm ground. He seemed a little shaken, his long face blanched, his features reminding me, when I think of it now, of the circus horse in a late Bonnard painting: gentle, wary, potentially sad. "I don't mind large planes or middle-sized planes (his English was slightly gutteral, his intonations lilting in a mild brogue), but small planes--you feel too much of the air under you." That remark, direct, plainspoken, but also flirting with the metaphysical, has seemed over the years a keyhole into his work: a void; a sense of hovering above that void; the nerves registering each tremor with precision; the mind fighting back the body's accelerating fear. The reception of his poems thirty years ago is now part of American literary history: serviceably and widely translated from the Swedish, they were talked about by many of his English-speaking admirers in terms of "deep image." It's hard to recall how passionate poets were about this notion, which fuzzily suggested that poetry could state absolute truths if only the images poets evoked welled up from deep enough sources uncontaminated by history and the follies of reason. Such an idea's devotion to poetry as an autonomous category, unbeholden to social uses of speech, still holds a deep appeal, a linguistic Eden of primal power. But it ignores what poetry most wants to do--or at least the poetry that I most want to read--which is to confront the reader with a world of private thoughts and feelings as contingent as the sudden anxiety a passenger might feel in his journey over the abyss while registering each bump and dip as an utterly objective, historically determined shock. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL July 8-12, 2015 St. Louis Univ.

For almost fifty years, Girard's writings have evoked both gushing praise and severe criticism. At the heart of this paradoxical reception has been Girard's relationship to Christian theology. Already with Hans Urs von Balthasar's critical yet open engagement with Girard in the 1970s, leading theologians and representatives of major theological movements have played an instrumental role in the reception of mimetic theory, including John Milbank, David Bentley Hart, and more recently, Sarah Coakley. Such representative groups as liberation theologians and feminist theorists have wondered whether mimetic theory addresses structural sin in a helpful way. Other questions deserve revisiting: Is mimetic theory just for Christians? Does it scapegoat non-Christian religions? Does it provide a way forward for religious communities to embrace peace? Or is it most fundamentally a theory that predicts and explains violence without offering a viable remedy? Criticism of mimetic theory has not been limited to theological circles. Social scientists, scholars of religion, and literary theorists have also questioned mimetic theory's basic assumptions, evidence, and readings of texts. Participants are invited to consider the following questions: What are the most trenchant critiques of mimetic theory? Has the response to critics, both by Girard and by his disciples, revealed or concealed the truths that mimetic theory claims to be universal? The Colloquium encourages members and conference participants to revisit these critiques with a spirit of hospitality to determine whether valuable insights have been dismissed that might help to sharpen our articulation of mimetic theory. http://www.uibk.ac.at/theol/cover/events/cov-r_conference_2015_call_for_papers.p df How does committee decide on conference location each year? also wiki says PayPal founder Peter Thiel is Girard's student and #1 believer ... Intellectual property law A whole host of things the Empire's hegemony depends on - Intellectual Property" law, US dollar's reserve currency status, the willingness of Third World states to repay debt, etc. - depends on an imperial mystique based entirely on perceptions. Once the Empire's mojo is called into question, through something analogous to France's humiliation at Dienbienphu and in Algeria, the house of cards will fall pretty fast.94 The 500-odd-year-old capitalist system, like previous historic systems,is not a monolithic unity, but a collection of mutually interacting social formations - some in ascendancy, some in decline. It follows that the supplanting of capitalism need not involve a dramatic rupture on the part of a monolithic unity of progressive forces. how does intellectual power translates into intellectual property without diminishing that power? how? http://c4ss.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/SomeRevCarson.pdf currently on page 60... more excerpts As a strategy for social change working outside the axiomatic, the slow-motion general strike is, in an Important sense, neither reformist nor revolutionary. It does not employ violence in direct confrontation with the capitalist State and is therefore unlikely to provoke State violence in return, yet neither does it rely on and thereby reinforce the existing practices and institutions of capital and the State. By directing the investment of energy outside the axiomatic, the slow-motion general strike avoids both the retaliatory violence of the state and the extraordinary recuperative capacities of capital.... ...[I]n the refusal to work for capital, [the slow-motion general strike] represents a categorical and indeed terminal repudiation of wage slavery. It does not engage in armed conflict and does not make demands: it entails a disengagement from direct confrontation and a refusal of dependency and entreaties, while pointing society in the direction of fundamental social change, nevertheless. But fundamental social change does not have to happen all at once: the general strike as an increasingly widespread movement away from capital and the state toward other forms of self-organization and selfprovisioning can take place over an extended period of time - in slow motion, as it were, in a long-term process of the becoming-general of the general strike. Vital to the success of a slow-motion general strike is its sustainability: the unrelenting process of dispossession of capital known as primitive accumulation must actually be reversed. for a minor marxism, this does not entail the "expropriation of the expropriators" via direct confrontation and violent seizure of the means of production or the State apparatus but rather the identification, exploration, and further development of alternative ways of producing and accessing means of life. Providing access to alternative means of life puts an end to abject dependency on capital, ensuring that the daring step away from capital that initiates the general strike is a sustainable step toward and onto something else.9 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL I don't see it THAT way... create money is always easier than withdrawing inflated money from circulation ...

Stigmergy is ideal for facilitating division of labor, with those best suited to a task selecting it for themselves.

If your primary talent is writing or theory, according to this valuation, you're a second-class Leftist. If you're not "doing something" - which translates more or less into participating in demos - you're a poser.

He also served as FBI liason to the National Security Council from 1996 to 1997. In this interview, Appel explains how an FBI counterintelligence agent develops an asset and talks in detail about China's methods of espionage. He describes Bill Cleveland, who worked for him, as "one of the nation's most expert counterintelligence officers with regard to China." Appel also discusses why prosecuting espionage may not always be the most attractive option for the U.S. government, but argues that the FBI prosecutes "an awful lot of messy cases," and that procedures are in place to protect classified information. This interview was conducted on Aug. 21, 2003.Just to begin with sort of an overall question, the China program, the FCI [foreign counterintelligence] program in the FBI, what had been the goals, long-term, and how had we achieved those goals? The long-term counterintelligence goals against China are about the same as any other country -- to discover the degree of intelligence operations that they focus on the United States, to determine what they're after and obviously, if somebody is violating the law, to bring them to justice. ... How is [the threat of Chinese espionage] any different, any more special than what we've seen in the past? Again, with the caveat that I'm not an expert in the overall threat, China is trying to build its military power. So it benefits when it can basically steal the plans to weapon systems to improve their own weapon systems, based on things they find out. They actually want to acquire weapons that other countries have. ... The United States has never expended very many resources on the People's Republic of China. We've never thought it represented all that big of a threat. China still thinks of itself as a Third World country in many respects. But they basically manufacture a great deal of what we use here, and that's their goal. They want to be the Japan of this era. They want to be able to dominate world manufacturing. So a lot of their espionage, or a lot of their intelligence work is focused on that economic advantage that they might gain. There is very little distinction in China, even today, between the government and its interests, and Chinese businesses and their interests. There's a great deal of information sharing. There is a great deal of collection that's based on making Chinese business competitive and, in fact, dominant in some of the areas where they want to be dominant. Tactics they use, what we're used to, did we need to change our thinking? The word about the Chinese is that they do things differently. They've been doing this for 4,000 years. They operate on the basis of relationships, interpersonal relationships. They call it "guanxi." They call it developing a superior subordinate relationship with someone, to trade information back and forth with someone. At the end of the day, though, intelligence collection methodology relies on someone who knows telling someone who is trying to collect information. So whether the person is paid or not, whether the person owes a debt of gratitude or owes some kind of guanxi to the other person, at the end of the day, the intelligence service succeeds by establishing sources. That's the way the Chinese work, just like everybody else. ... They do run agents. They do collect intelligence through classic operations. But by and large, they rely on a large number of what they call "overseas Chinese" and a few non-Chinese to provide them with information, basically, because of the relationships they build over time. Basically, it's a game played on the use of assets? Right. An asset is somebody you know that can give you what you want. Obviously, you develop a relationship where that person wants to give you things, where that person actively goes out and collects things for you. In our thinking here in the West, we tend to think about an employer/employee relationship or a contractor relationship, so that, in a secret way, the contractor goes out and collects information, and then brings it, for money, to the intelligence officer who is running the operation. But oftentimes, the Chinese don't feel it's necessary to pay that person, or at least not to pay the person for intelligence. They might get paid because they have a strong business relationship with the Chinese government. But they might not get paid specifically for the intelligence that they bring. The idea is that the person is so obliged to the person who has the guanxi with them, that, out of a sense of duty, a sense of obligation, a sense of togetherness, on behalf of the motherland, this person will take risks and bring information as a part of the overall relationship. ... So we found that frequently the Chinese intelligence services were practically invisible to their sources, because the relationship between the intelligence officer and the source was a personal relationship, and was one of mutual obligation. The source didn't think of himself as an employee or contractor. The source thought of himself a person who should go out and do for a friend, for a colleague. ... Speaking as someone on the inside, who's seen this for a lot of years ... have we been winning this game of chess, whatever it is, with the Chinese? Or are they playing a different game, or do they understand things we don't understand? What's your view on that? I think it's very hard to say whether you win or lose. We're always talking about the current espionage case and trying to see these things through the light that that case sheds on a counterintelligence issue. Frankly, that's not a very clear way to see the whole picture. However, I do think that, to some extent, we have lost the counterintelligence war against the Chinese intelligence services, partly because we haven't had major counterespionage successes. There are really two ways you want to play this game. The first way is to know what the other people's intelligence service is doing -- who are their sources -- and to either neutralize those sources, in some cases, arrest them, or control the information that they're reporting back. You want to know more than the other side knows. Of course, it's very hard to know exactly what the other side knows. The other aspect of it is to simply uphold the law, and to arrest people, particularly Americans who are stealing American secrets, classified American information, to put them in jail and to bring them to justice for committing espionage. I don't think we've done a good job in that particular respect with regard to the Chinese intelligence services. I think there are quite a few cases in which the Chinese have succeeded in collecting classified information from U.S. government sources and, for whatever reason, we haven't brought those people to justice and put them in jail. So on an absolute scale, if you would say, "Show me the numbers. How many times did you put a person in jail for this?" I think it's an incontrovertible fact that we don't have many numbers. We didn't really do a very good job of putting those people in jail. ... Take us sort of to Quantico 101 here. Somebody comes in the door who's going to work FCI. What are they taught about assets? What's an asset? ... In an ideal sense, I guess, a good counterintelligence asset would be a person who is very familiar with the foreign intelligence officer and tells you all about who they are and what they do. But it really runs the gamut from someone who simply observes the person to someone who's really a part of that intelligence service and has elected to be recruited in place, if you will, or provide information, while still acting in a capacity of a foreign intelligence officer. So an asset can be any of the above. How do you develop one? Obviously, it relates to personal relationships. You might identify the people that a foreign intelligence officer is in touch with and, from that group of people, select one or more that you would approach, and you would find out what they're willing to tell you. Over a series of interviews, a series of contacts, you might simply ask them questions and see how far they're willing to go in answering them, and compare what you know from your investigation against what they tell you, and you balance the two. Obviously, if they continuously lie to you, if they're not willing to talk to you, if they're motivated only by personal greed or money, you might want to take what they say with a grain of salt. Hopefully, over time, you could develop a trusting relationship with that person, where you're convinced that they are telling you more than they are that foreign intelligence officer. So that's a balance you also have to maintain. How do you know? How do you know if someone is acting more as a double agent, or how do you know for sure? It's very, very important, and I think deception analysis is at the root of this. Basically, I think most of us have a gut feeling one way or the other, and a good detective has a better gut feeling. FBI agents are excellent detectives. But you also have to be systematic about how you find out what the other side is doing. What's their order of battle? Who are they? Where are they? What are they doing? Compare that with what you're told. You continually want to assess what your source tells you against your other sources. It means that you have to have a range of knowledge. This frequently does not take place in the hands of the handler -- in the case of the FBI, the FBI agent who handles the source -- but rather it takes place in the analytical unit at the FBI headquarters in Washington. [T]here they compare everything they know from all of the sources with what this particular source is telling us, and then try to see, "Is this person telling us the truth? Is this person giving us anything of value? How can we weigh that against the overall pictures of the Chinese counterintelligence operations?" ... How does that relationship between Washington and the handler work? It works very well. Actually, in order to make the source have some value, the handler has to document what the source says. There are some cases in which the source has to provide documents from an intelligence service, if they have access to them. If they can't provide those documents, or they won't provide them, that's a clue that they might be under the control of foreign intelligence service, more so than the control of the counterintelligence service. In some instances, we want to direct the activity of a source, to tell them to find out something, to ask a question of their handler on the other side. In those cases, obviously, you already know what you want to find out. Hopefully you ask the question directly, and at the end of the day, you weigh the answer against things you already know. The more trusted the source, the more sensitive the questions. In many cases, you can't ask a question in a counterintelligence investigation without revealing classified information. You hope that that classified information isn't turned around and then provided to the other side, to the other intelligence officers that might be in touch with your source. That's something that you always have to be careful about, because if you ask that question, you may be telling the other side a great deal -- more than you want to. The way you define it, a lot of times it does turn into a game of spy versus spy, in a way. A lot of times it isn't the hot dog dealer, it is people that have relationships with friends in China with MSS or other organizations. Is really a large proportion of this game being played between the two intelligence services? Sure. It's the way the game is played. Obviously, it is spy versus spy. That's what counterintelligence is. At the end of the day, the better your operation as a counterintelligence service, the more you know about that foreign intelligence service. Hopefully, they don't know that you know it. Hopefully, you can to some extent contain their operations, and understand more about their operations than they want you to, so that you know what they're looking for and you know who they're using. You know their order of battle. You know what their targets are. You know what information they need. I can remember a time many years ago, when the Chinese intelligence service sent a high-ranking intelligence officer to discover what this "Supreme Court thing" is that the U.S. has. Well, that's the kind of intelligence operation we want to see. Frankly, we'll help that guy find out all about the Supreme Court. But when the intelligence officer comes after weapons systems, that's a whole different thing, and we want to know what weapons systems they're coming after. We want to know where they're seeking market intelligence about particular companies or about particular opportunities they might have to compete in the economic sphere. ... So a J.J. Smith would see a Katrina Leung. What would he see in Katrina Leung [as a potential asset]? Why would she be of interest? What would he have seen in her? Obviously, it's all about access. In the Chinese system, high-ranking Communist Party officials and intelligence officers are the people that the counterintelligence service is interested in. Without addressing this particular case directly, because a great deal of it is classified, I would say that what you really want from a person like this is that they have an in with intelligence officers, they have an in with high-ranking Communist Party people. They can tell you what those people are talking about, what their motivations are, what kinds of things they want to find out, what questions are they asking. Where are they going? What are they doing? It can help the counterintelligence service understand what is that foreign intelligence service, what is that foreign Communist Party doing that would be of interest to counterintelligence. These are all the same talents, or connections, that would also probably make that asset look like a very good prospect for the Chinese also. Right. Obviously, somebody who can play in an influential circle, shall we say, becomes of interest to both sides. Frequently, in the counterintelligence business, the degree to which an asset or source has access to the intelligence officers on the other side will help determine how valuable they are as a source. So the other side's interested, because of this person's access in the United States, and we're interested, because of this person's access, in this case, in China. [It] gets to be a very complicated game. It's very complicated. Frankly, a person who's worked it for many years as a street agent and then has become a supervisor and basically is looked to as a mentor by others, as someone who has developed a great deal of expertise in this game, that's a person who certainly has gone beyond counterespionage 101. That's a person who really knows the rules of the road. In a complicated affair like Chinese counterintelligence, a person who's a supervisor, a long-time worker, a China hand, as we call them, that's a person who would be looked up to as an example [of] how to do it. One of those people was Bill Cleveland, who adds another level of complexity when it comes to this case. He's involved with Leung. Why? It seems like a very simple thing. You've got a handler. You've got a source, an asset. Where does somebody like Cleveland come in, and why the complication of that relationship, both specifically professional, but also personal? Let me just say I've known Bill Cleveland for many years. He's a great person as far as I know. This whole case comes as a bit of a shock to me. But frankly, in any kind of long-term relationship that exists between two individuals, you have a certain amount of trust, you have a certain amount of friendship, you have a certain relationship. I always say it takes two to tango. If one person in the relationship wants to take it to another level, wants to make it physical, for example, it takes that other person's willing agreement to do that. In a counterintelligence operation, you have a situation where deception is going on all the time, where clandestine meetings are happening, where secret information is exchanged, where confidential relationships are built up. In those kinds of situations, it's very possible for a personal relationship of trust to develop into a personal friendship as well. These are things that you try to avoid in a professional counterintelligence operation. ... When two people are intimate, they're intimate under either one of two circumstances -- either it's legitimate or it's not. It's either licit or illicit. If it's illicit, in the case of a person who's sleeping with a married person, then obviously there is a blackmailable offense going on. There is an illicit aspect to it that creates, for counterintelligence purposes, an impossible relationship. So if you have something like that going on, it's obviously very undesirable, from a counterintelligence point of view. It would call into question the objectivity and the veracity of the information produced. You'd never really know whether the person was being objective and truthful, or whether the person was limiting in some way the value of the operation to your side, because of that relationship -- either because of excessive love or because of fear of exposure. ... Let's talk about Bill Cleveland for a second. Bill Cleveland worked for you. Describe him. Describe the kind of agent that he was. Bill Cleveland is, to my knowledge, a very professional, very neat, very together, very personable individual. He always conducted himself in a proper way. He was always well spoken. He was well thought of by his colleagues. He was well thought of by those who worked for him. He was well thought of by those who worked with him. I worked as a colleague of his and a superior of his for quite some time. It was very hard to find anybody who didn't like Bill Cleveland. After Bill left the FBI and went with Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, he was still very well respected, very widely regarded as one of the best China hands in the United States government. Certainly fluently spoke Chinese and had many friends in the Chinese community. Was always very discreet and proper. Was a good family man. Very religious guy, and a very well respected person. Sometimes a lot of people will say that the program attracted a geekish group of people in some ways. But Cleveland seemed to be different than that. How was he different, and how did that come into play with how he used assets? Bill Cleveland is the son of a very high-ranking FBI agent, a person who is renowned in the FBI, a person who, even in retirement, was renowned among his colleagues and the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI. So Bill had a legacy, a personal legacy. Bill became a China hand and became one of the nation's most expert counterintelligence officers with regard to China. ... If you were going to have a conference in the United States government about Chinese intelligence, he was the person that you should have in the room. The operations that he controlled were numerous, were voluminous. They produced a great deal of very valuable information for the U.S. government, and they were highly successful. In fact, if you would balance Bill's productivity as a group supervisor against anybody else's, Bill would come out on top. So he was very highly thought of and a very successful professional. His understanding. What made him better with gaining assets, with getting information from assets? What did he get that other people didn't get? I think it's always good to be the right person in the right place at the right time. Bill was well trained to do this. He was highly motivated, and he had good people working for him. He was very selective if he could be, in trying to pick the best people. Frequently those who worked in Chinese counterintelligence had some language or other skill that made them valuable to it, and Bill knew how to exploit that. Chinese counterintelligence work in the FBI was not the number one most attractive thing that people thought of to do. But those who worked it, even though they were perhaps geekish, they were very smart people, and they were very good at what they did. ... One of the cases he got a lot of kudos for was Tiger Trap. Explain this to us. In some ways, this long-term investigation, which didn't ever really go anywhere -- that's the common belief. But yet a Cleveland gets a lot of respect and a lot of kudos for that investigation. Why? I don't want to talk about investigations that are still classified, even if they've been written about. But let me just explain the basic approach that you might take as a counterintelligence officer to a case where you think espionage is being committed. Perhaps someone is trying to steal U.S. nuclear weapons secrets. So you have some goals. The first goal is to find out who's responsible, who's got access to those secrets that might be giving them to the other side. Having developed a primary suspect, you have to find out if there's concrete evidence that this person did it. Are you going to go about collecting the evidence in a way in which it would be most conveniently produced in a court of law? If you conduct intelligence operations through close-in surveillance of this person, you might actually produce evidence that's not usable in a court of law. If you use sources and methods that are not usable in a court of law, you might very well make it impossible ever to prosecute that person, but you would find out exactly what they're doing, exactly what secrets they're finding out, exactly what secrets they're passing to the other side. That sort of thing. At the end of the day, you have to make a decision. Are you going to prosecute this individual? Are you going to see to it that this person's fired? Are you going to remove their access to classified information? Are you going to interfere with their relationship with the foreign intelligence service, make it impossible for that person to ever really help that foreign intelligence service again? In the overall scheme of things, you have a couple of big goals. One is to cut off that foreign intelligence service from its access to classified U.S. government information. Another is to neutralize that source of that foreign intelligence service, so that person can't ever be a threat to the U.S. again. I would say that in most of the cases that Bill Cleveland or anybody touched in my time in California, we succeeded in removing the access that the foreign intelligence service had through U.S. sources to the classified U.S. government information. It wasn't always pretty, and it did not result in as many prosecutions as I would have liked to see. It didn't mean we weren't successful. ... [How do you think Cleveland felt about not getting a confession out of Gwo-Bao Min?] I think he was extremely disappointed. I think anybody who interrogated an espionage subject and didn't get them would be extremely disappointed. Those interrogations and those confessions have been absolutely essential to the prosecution of espionage cases. Sometimes the reason a case doesn't get into court is because that kind of confession is not forthcoming, and obviously, that's a measure of success. It's not the only way that an espionage case is successfully concluded, because you don't have to prosecute somebody to remove the source of information from the foreign intelligence service. ... So in your view, Tiger Trap was a success? Let's take a big step back and ask ourselves, how many people from several U.S. government agencies have we ever heard of being charged with espionage? State Department? Department of Energy? Pentagon? How many times? I mean, we're talking about FBI agents that are being charged with espionage. How many agencies really want to see their employees brought to justice for espionage? There's a huge belief, and it's based on many proper factors, that it doesn't do an agency any good to bring a person to justice for espionage. It drags you through the mud. One of the worst things about success in counterintelligence in the FBI, as in the Cleveland/J.J. Smith/Leung case, is -- guess what? Our success is our failure. It points out just how human and how frail we really all are. Does that mean it's not happening in other agencies? Oh, yes, it's happening in other agencies. You don't see how the case is disposed of. So I would say that there's a real argument to be had here about whether it suits the government in every instance to have an espionage prosecution, and whether or not success would be judged by what gets into a public courtroom. ... Does that mean to some extent we ignore it, that we allow it to happen? No, and I think you need to look at the demographics. We've gotten very focused in recent years on this racial profiling thing. But let's look at it from the point of view of the Chinese intelligence officer. One of the things you find out if you're a Chinese intelligence officer is that the Asia-Pacific population in America has gone from less than 1 percent to more than 3 percent of the population. [It's] considerably more than that in West Coast cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, where there's a huge amount of U.S. government classified contracting. Then you find out that, in the physical sciences and engineering, at the head of the most complex and most valuable research and development that the U.S. is doing, you will find a very high percentage of Chinese. Five to 10 percent in some cases. Why is this? Well, it's their chosen profession. Coincidence? Who knows? Who cares? Now the point of the matter is, if I'm a Chinese intelligence officer and I'm looking at this group of people who know about, let's just say nuclear engineering, who am I going to look at? Am I going to look at the Italian-American? Am I going to look at the Irish-American? Or am I going to look at the Chinese-American, who still speaks my language, who still has an aunt over in Shanghai? So if I'm a Chinese intelligence officer, I'm not thinking about infiltrating somebody into that nuclear engineering facility. I'm thinking about how do I go about getting access to that Chinese person who's already there. How do I recruit that person? How do I develop guanxi with that person? How do I assume a relationship in which I have the upper hand and I can convince that person to share information with me? At the end of the day, it's pretty elementary from the standpoint of the Chinese intelligence service. They do practice racial profiling, and it's very successful for them. Your answer to the claims out there that what that does is it leads to a stereotype, a double standard, where it's not only a few people, but anyone who's of Chinese ancestry is viewed with a different lens -- how does one get around that, that there might be a double standard? It really isn't a double standard when you stop and think about it. It's basic methodology. It's basic counterintelligence methodology and security methodology. The first question you ask yourself is, does that foreign intelligence service have power over that person? If they have control over the relatives of that person, the place where those relatives live, the welfare of those relatives -- that's a tremendous leverage, or potential leverage over that person, obviously a source of potential influence. The other aspect of it is, how can I best find out what I need to find out? Maybe English is my second language. If I have somebody I can talk to in my own native tongue, that's a huge advantage to me. From the standpoint of the security guy, if you were looking at three candidates for a position at HP, and one of the candidates was coming from Dell Computer, would you automatically put him at the head of the line, or would you put him last in line, because that's a competitor of yours? You don't want to hire a competitor. So it's the same kind of thing in the intelligence game. You want to hire somebody to do nuclear engineering. Do you really want to hire somebody with a whole bunch of relatives in a hostile foreign nation, or not? It's a call that you have to make. If you're a counterintelligence officer, it gets even worse, because you look at basics like, where are these people? Where do they go? For example, in a small group of nuclear engineers, in a facility that has the technology that you think has been stolen by that foreign power, how many of them ever went to that foreign power's home country? Well, guess who it is? It's the people who have a reason to go. It's people who have relatives there. It's people who have colleagues there that welcome them and want to discuss with them their latest science and technology research and development. So it gets pretty elementary. It has really nothing to do with racial profiling, it has to do with the facts. You start with a small group of people that the foreign intelligence service has access to, and then you develop a profile based on potential influence, not their ethnicity. That brings up, of course, the Wen Ho Lee case. Did that sort of analysis lead us wrong, at least in the judgment about the W88? Did we go down a wrong route, and why? It's interesting, you know. If you're going to work in counterintelligence, you have to take your clues where you get them. So it comes down to the same kind of thing that occurs in almost every other kind of criminal investigation. You look at motive and opportunity. If you look at the very small list of people who have motive and opportunity and then you look at their pattern of behavior, do you think it's suspicious for somebody to download voluminous quantities of classified information and to move that data onto another type of magnetic media? Do you think that's a violation of the rules? I think, in the case of Wen Ho Lee, he pled guilty. Why did he plead guilty? Well, his actions made it impossible for him to skate on that particular charge. Did he commit espionage? It doesn't say so in the records, does it? From a counterintelligence point of view, he's no longer a potential threat to the United States. But I think it comes down to a simple question of, who had access, who had motive, who had opportunity, and what did they do with that opportunity? Did they do things that are either highly suspicious or certainly prove that they didn't handle classified information correctly? It's a pretty open-and-shut case to me. You can talk about racial profiling, or you can raise a smokescreen about this cruel FBI out there. But at the end of the day, I think it's clear that the right thing was done -- perhaps not in the right way -- but I think it was the right thing to do. ... What brings the few cases that do come forward [for prosecution]? There's a federal process for bringing a case. That is, that the federal investigative agency, in this case the FBI, brings the case to the designated federal prosecutor, who gives a prosecutive opinion. Usually it results in saying, "Yes, I'll prosecute," or "No, I won't." Frequently it results in a long list, a laundry list, of things that the investigator has to do in order to prove the case -- even to get it indicted, much less into a court. In the case of espionage, you will find that the United States government has lost one espionage case since World War II. One. ... Every other case has been a victory for the United States government. Why? Because all of the dots have been connected. All of the evidence is there. In almost every instance, the individual charged has confessed to espionage and there has been incontrovertible proof. We have a very high set of standards, historically, in the United States for prosecuting espionage. We don't take the 80 percent cases. We take the 99.9 percent cases, and those are the ones that are brought. In espionage, you have a big complication that frequently occurs. That is that the agency from which the classified information was stolen has no particular interest in seeing the case get into court. The intelligence and counterintelligence agencies have good reason to prevent the case from getting into court, because all of their methodologies are going to be laid open for everyone to see. In the old days, before the Classified Information Procedures Act, you had to lay out the secrets in front of the court as well, and they became part of the public record. So that was a good reason not to bring an espionage case. But today there are ways the judge can seal those records, so that the actual classified information stolen never gets into the public media. Nevertheless, I would point out to you that all of the major espionage cases in recent years have resulted in books and articles and shows on TV. Those shows and books, the media, have made it very easy for foreign intelligence services to see exactly how the U.S. operates and, in fact, who was doing the operating. So it opens up counterintelligence and counterespionage to public scrutiny and to the scrutiny of foreign intelligence services. It makes it very easy for them to see. ... So it's a weighing procedure that has to go on by the prosecutor who decides whether or not to prosecute the case. In the case of espionage, all of those cases are brought to the Internal Security section of Justice, where they decide whether the thing will be prosecuted or not, and, if so, who will actually prosecute it. Frequently the attorney who prosecutes it is somebody with a lot of notches on their belt, who has put a lot of people in jail for espionage. That person is in Washington, D.C., and they actually go to the location and prosecute the person wherever that is. They're very, very careful. If you think that a bank robber is 93 percent bound to be convicted when the FBI arrests him for bank robbery -- and the stats were like that at one time, I don't know what they are right now -- it's 99.9 percent that they're going to be convinced of espionage when they're indicted. ... Are we having success in the China program? I think the bottom line is that we've got limited success in the China program. It's a shame that more of the successes can't come out in public, and they shouldn't. But they are limited. They are limited in numbers. I guess the thing I'm afraid of is, when you look at a nation that's that large, that has that large of a presence in the United States, and that has, basically, blood in its eye as far as modernization and military and market success, competitiveness, if you will, that the United States has never expended very many resources on the People's Republic of China. We've never thought it represented all that big of a threat. As a consequence, we've never had quantitatively as much success as we have against other foreign intelligence services that were operating against the U.S. So the recent statements by Mueller and others to say that China is foremost in the future, [and] that counterintelligence, counterespionage is now number two priority, what does that say? It says that there's a recognition that this is important now. Frankly, I think this has come over the last few years from success. Not failure? Not failure. Right. If you failed, then their secret services would be succeeding without you knowing. Once you realize what their secret services are doing, that's when they become a higher priority. That's when you beef up your operations. That's when you improve your operations. I think it's clear from my view of public statements, that in the last few years the U.S. has come to an increasing recognition of the potential danger posed by the intelligence services of China here in the U.S., and the necessity to do good counterintelligence operations, whether or not the other side is committing espionage. I think you have to know what they're doing. You can't judge if what they're doing [is] threatening or not unless you know what they're doing. That comes back to assets and sources a lot. Right. It comes back to all of the methods that you use to conduct surveillance on the foreign intelligence service, and people are one of the key areas, especially for the FBI. A couple of areas to clean up on the Leung case. In 1991, there's a trip over to China by Cleveland. He comes back and he hears the recording, the famous recording, and he recognizes Leung's voice on it, and he calls J.J. Eventually they go to Washington. How was that handled? Was that handled correctly, and why was it handled in that way? That was surprising. I don't recall all the details of the way those things went down, the way that was handled. But what I do recall is there was a great deal of scrutiny given to that case, not only in 1991 or 1990, but at other times. The scrutiny was given to the case because of the quality and the quantity of the information being obtained, the costs of the operation, and the perception that we needed to be winning; that we had to make sure that we were in control of the operation and that the operation was sufficiently productive to justify itself. There's always the question of, are you telling the other side more than they're telling you, or is this operation producing more information and better information for us than for them? Every time you have a source who has admitted that they are in touch with foreign counterintelligence, you have to wonder whether they're not getting more out of it than you are. ... How much attention would then be paid to a situation that's a problem, even if the handler is then given responsibility to resolve it? How many red flags go up in Washington? ... There are two things that are really pertinent to this case, and these are things I can talk about without getting into classified information. Now the first thing is, the case did receive additional scrutiny, but actually it's the same kind of scrutiny that's given to any major source case. So you're always trying to measure the case and weigh it. The more sensitive the case, the more likely it will get very intense scrutiny, and in this case obviously it did. So there was a continual weighing of it. The second thing is what I would call secret side activity, which, if known, would certainly have made a difference in the way the case was administered, supervised. That is, that there was a personal relationship that was not known to the FBI, at least not to the people in the chain of command. So at that point in time, you have to judge the facts and circumstances quite differently, don't you? To my knowledge, that was not done, but that's because people involved were deceptive. They continually deceived their supervisor. They continually deceived the agency. They made it impossible to objectively judge the case, because they basically doctored the facts. How easy was that to do in this case? A lot of people are saying that you've got a good source, you rise up the ladder, and people just look at you differently, and so J.J. was bulletproof. Nobody's bulletproof. The fact that somebody would get called back to Washington shows that they're not bulletproof. In fact, it's always possible to judge a case one way or the other. It's like, should we arrest somebody, or not? You can believe that a value judgment was made about whether or not to arrest these people in this case. Certainly it's not good from a PR standpoint. So why would you do it? Well, you do it to do the right thing. You do it to clean up messy operations. You do it to set a standard for the future. You do it because somebody did a wrong thing, and should be put in jail for that wrong thing. ... In this case, did Cleveland run it in the correct fashion except for the fact of hiding his relationship also? Did he do it according to the books? I think history is going to show one way or the other, and the court case is going to bring that out. To my knowledge, Cleveland did the right thing. But I think this case shows that a supervisor can only know so much. Somebody in charge of operations can only know so much about each individual operation. Even very important operations can be conducted in a manner that's not only unorthodox, but basically illicit. And that can happen. ... [We're] talking about a situation where it's very difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain the truth. In this situation, some people have said that Leung, as the important asset that she was, involved for so long with two agents, knew an awful lot, so that, in some way, if this asset was tainted, to some extent the whole program was tainted? It could very well be true. Frankly, when a critical asset is tainted, it makes you go back and take a look at the damage. I'm sure that that's been done in this case. I think it brings up the Chin case. Here's a situation where, for 30 or more years, [you have] a person working for the CIA, ostensibly as a person who was merely translating the media from Chinese into English for evaluation, open source intelligence, essentially. He was such a great linguist that many, many very sensitive cases were brought to him to translate from the Chinese to the English. There were so few people like him available at the time, in the CIA, that that made him aware of way more cases, and way more sensitive information than he should ever have been made aware of. So it meant that, as an asset of the Chinese intelligence services, he was far more valuable than anyone had a right to assume he ever could be. It also means that more damage was done to U.S. intelligence, to U.S. counterintelligence, than would have been done had the source been a different source. In the case of Leung, what's the risk? What's the damage that could have been done? Well, very grave damage could have been done -- partly because of her ability to manipulate, partly because of her ability to elicit information and the possibility that, as charged, she's actually copied very highly sensitive documents and actually turned them over to the other side. That could result in compromise of sources and methods. It could even result in death or execution. It certainly could result in compromise of U.S. government interests and intelligence interests with regard to China. So this could be extremely damaging. ... Are we playing a game of checkers, while they're playing a game of chess? There are those that would say that, because the Chinese are renowned for their thoughtful application of principles. I'll give you a current example that's kind of scary to me. The Chinese command and the military have actually written books saying that the great equalizer is that the U.S. is so dependent on its computers that we can even the score by basically using the Internet against the United States -- that it is the great equalizer in a conflict. Obviously, we worry about nuclear weapons. But I think we're in a new era now, where we have a lot of other things to worry about. How many manufacturing jobs move to China? How is it that they can produce something identical to our products, whether they be CDs and movies, or whether they be automobiles or aircraft? I think we have to decide, what is it we're going to do from a counterintelligence perspective to protect our economic interests, to protect our national security interests? I think that we simply can't let them win this game this easily. They've been winning, at least in the public media. I think we have to make sure that they don't win it. ... One of the other cases that were going on was the Peter Lee case. What were the allegations there? What did we fear had happened? Again, I don't want to get into stuff that was classified when I left the FBI. But, again, let's just take a step back and look at the kind of allegations that we're talking about. What we're talking about is people who have to highly classified and sensitive U.S. government weapons information, and that might have been transferred to the People's Republic of China. Obviously, there are three major goals: Find out the extent of the loss and the evidence of it; to present the case as a potential espionage prosecution; and to neutralize the leak, if you will, the loss of classified information. So it may be that you can only do two of three, but in so doing, you would actually succeed. ... In that case, a lot of people say that he was rapped with a ruler on the knuckles, and that's about all here. Your view sort of as a historian also of these events -- did we go wrong? Where did we go wrong? Should something else have happened? Would it have been more effective to have thrown the guy in jail? I mean, how important a case was this? One of the great frustrations of my career was to have seen a number of cases that were presented for potential prosecution, where it was decided not to prosecute them. Many times an agency that was in charge of the classified information didn't want the case prosecuted. Many times the prosecutor demanded additional evidence or additional facts that were not there to be used in a courtroom. Many times, out of a desire to find out where the leak was occurring, we conducted operations that, later on, the prosecutors didn't want to bring into a court, for many reasons. So it's clear that, in some of these cases, it would have been better historically for us to prosecute them and maybe take our lumps. Certainly, somebody made the decision, we're going to take our lumps with J.J. Smith and Katrina Leung. Even if it hurts, we're going to prosecute these people. That kind of decision, that hard decision, has not been made in every case in the past; too bad that it hasn't been. Hopefully, we've learned from that. And in the Peter Lee case, specifically? I can't tell. That's on the public record, though. That's what happened. Are you happy with the eventual decision to not prosecute? No. I'm not happy that he wasn't prosecuted. And the reason for that is? Because I think we prosecute an awful lot of messy cases. The FBI investigates theft of government property. It investigates highly sensitive frauds from within government agencies, and we put politicians in jail. Those are horribly painful cases. Why can't we take a case like this and do it? And that decision was made by a prosecutor that knew exactly what he was doing. So he's the judge of that situation. He's the lawyer. I'm not a lawyer. I have to live with the results, but I'm not happy that we haven't had major Chinese espionage prosecutions. ... We've already talked about the fact that the FBI has sort of noted that this is now number two priority. We've had some problems, it seems now with the assets; we were worried about that. How do we expect to win in this situation, looking at the track record and what it's been? Let me again just take a big step back. When the FBI says counterintelligence is its number two priority, I think it makes it very clear that, next to terrorism, this is the most important thing the FBI does. The real reason is because it's only the FBI that does this. Customs doesn't do this very much. Immigration doesn't do this very much. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Division doesn't do [this]. So besides the CIA, the FBI is the one that does this. ... I think a foreign intelligence service working against the United States has a decided advantage. We have a free country. We think information is free. We don't restrict our citizens very much, even those with highly classified access. So I think we have to be very careful how we do this. But I think we have to be very good at penetrating that foreign intelligence service in order to find out who their agents are here. We have to do a better job of security within our agencies, and within really business in America, to protect the things that are essential to us, our intellectual property, our research and design and things like that. We're not good at that as a society, and that's what we have to improve. ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL oops http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/spy/interviews/appel.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL the strange case of Wen Ho Lee http://fas.org/irp/congress/2001_rpt/whl.html Report of the Subcommittee on Department of Justice Oversight Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate published December 20, 2001 Report on the Government's Handling of the Investigation and Prosecution of Dr. Wen Ho Lee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL from congressional records "The CIA later determined that the "walk-in" was directed by the PRC intelligence services.

He won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1994 for his work in game theory, which offered insight into the dynamics of human rivalry. It is considered one of the most influential ideas of the 20th century. Just a few days ago, Nash had received a prize from the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters in Oslo with New York University mathematician Louis Nirenberg, who said he'd chatted with the couple for an hour at the airport in Newark before they'd gotten a cab. Nirenberg said Nash was a truly great mathematician and "a kind of genius." Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber said the Nashes were special members of the university community. "John's remarkable achievements inspired generations of mathematicians, economists and scientists who were influenced by his brilliant, groundbreaking work in game theory, and the story of his life with Alicia moved millions of readers and moviegoers who marveled at their courage in the face of daunting challenges," Eisgruber said in a statement. New Jersey State Police say the Nashes were both ejected from the cab in the crash around 4:30 p.m. Saturday in Monroe Township, about 15 miles northeast of Trenton. The cab driver was hospitalized. News of the deaths was shocking to Nirenberg. "We were all so happy together," Nirenberg said. "It seemed like a dream." John David Stier, Nash's son with his first wife, said he learned of the death Sunday morning. "It's very upsetting," he said. In an autobiography written for The Nobel Foundation website, Nash said delusions caused him to resign as a faculty member at MIT. He also spent several months in New Jersey hospitals on an involuntary basis. However, Nash's schizophrenia diminished through the 1970s and 1980s as he "gradually began to intellectually reject some of the delusionally influenced lines of thinking," he wrote. The 2001 film "A Beautiful Mind" won four Oscars, including best picture and best director, and generated interest in John Nash's life story. The movie was based on an unauthorized biography by Sylvia Nasar, who wrote that Nash's contemporaries found him "immensely strange" and "slightly cold, a bit superior, somewhat secretive." Much of his demeanor likely stemmed from mental illness, which began emerging in 1959 when Alicia was pregnant with a son. The film, though, did not mention Nash older son or to the years that he and Alicia spent living together after divorcing. The couple split in 1963, then resumed living together several years later and finally remarried in 2001. Born in Bluefield, W. Va., to an electrical engineer and a housewife, Nash had read the classic "Men of Mathematics" by E.T. Bell by the time he was in high school. He planned to follow in his father's footsteps and studied for three years at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh (now Carnegie Mellon University), but instead developed a passion for mathematics. He then went to Princeton, where he worked on his equilibrium theory and, in 1950, received his doctorate with a dissertation on non-cooperative games. The thesis contained the definition and properties of what would later be called the Nash equilibrium. Nash then taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for several years and held a research post at Brandeis University before eventually returning to Princeton. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL contrast-abel - lol http://www.abelprize.no/nyheter/vis.html?tid=63693 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL i thought who made them hold those flowers $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL like this sign of 'spring is here'? http://www.avoiceformalestudents.com/page/2/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL what about the war on terror in peace meal ? $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL BTC trade insight Volume for SELL at major currency price: ~1142BTC @EUR-itbit ~215 ~1142BTC @Sigapore$ ~318 ~1147BTC @bitstamp$ ~238 buy BTC to your heart's content or contempt... what does that tell u if one wants to speculate ?

For nearly 20 years, Gilliam denied that Alverson had made any material contribution to the script. But then when the first draft was published and original in-progress documents emerged from Alverson's files, Gilliam begrudgingly changed his story. This was a bit late for either credit on the film or a listing on the failed Oscar nomination for Alverson. He has said that he would not have minded the Oscar nomination, even though he didn't think much of the script or the finished film.[13] Gilliam, McKeown, and Stoppard collaborated on further drafts. Brazil was developed under the titles The Ministry and 1984 , the latter a nod not only to Orwell's original 1984 but also to 8 by Federico Fellini, a director whom Gilliam often cites as one of the defining influences on his visual style when directing.[14] During the film's production, other working titles floated about, including The Ministry of Torture, How I Learned to Live with the System - So Far,[15] and So That's Why the Bourgeoisie Sucks,[16] before settling with Brazil relating to the name of its escapist signature tune. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL and in reality ... fiction is NOT stranger ... btw, you can be the first ~griffith on ripple... or is it too late? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL banking regulation and currency trading NYTimes: 5 Banks to Pay Billions and Plead Guilty in Currency and Interest Rate Cases http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/21/business/dealbook/5-big-banks-to-pay-billions- and-plead-guilty-in-currency-and-interest-rate-cases.html Timeline ( wow!...) : http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/05/19/business/dealbook/lawsky-timeline. html And after all that, he is stepping down, possibly because of all that?

Current machine vision systems (or at least their performance critical parts) are predominantly implemented using statically typed programming languages such as C, C++, or Java. Statically typed languages however are unsuitable for development and maintenance of large scale systems. When choosing a programming language, dynamically typed languages are usually not considered due to their lack of support for high-performance array operations. This thesis presents efficient implementations of machine vision algorithms with the (dynamically typed) Ruby programming language. The Ruby programming language was used, because it has the best support for meta-programming among the currently popular programming languages. Although the Ruby programming language was used, the approach presented in this thesis could be applied to any programming language which has equal or stronger support for meta-programming (e.g. Racket (former PLT Scheme)). A Ruby library for performing I/O and array operations was developed as part of this thesis. It is demonstrated how the library facilitates concise implementations of machine vision algorithms commonly used in industrial automation. That is, this thesis is about a different way of implementing machine vision systems. The work could be applied to prototype and in some cases implement machine vision systems in industrial automation and robotics. The development of real-time machine vision software is facilitated as follows A just-in-time compiler is used to achieve real-time performance. It is demonstrated that the Ruby syntax is sufficient to integrate the just-in-time compiler transparently. Various I/O devices are integrated for seamless acquisition, display, and storage of video and audio data. In combination these two developments preserve the expressiveness of the Ruby programming language while providing good run-time performance of the resulting implementation. To validate this approach, the performance of different operations is compared with the performance of equivalent C/C++ programs. I hope that my work has shown that the choice of programming language plays a fundamental role in the implementation of machine vision systems and that those choices should be revisited. i believe he meant if a new data type has to be injected at a later time to the whole system, it is quite expensive to add it ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Eben Moglen "I am a historian and a computer programmer, but pri- marily I am a lawyer.

Stellar really should not be included in the discussion with Ripple. It was a "fork" of the Ripple protocol initiated by a disgruntled former founder, who literally stole the concept and copied it. In the process there have been some problems with their "version" which is not being maintained properly. It astounds me that Stellar is even being mentioned in the same breath as Bitcoin and Ripple. In any other regulated industry, Stellar would not be able to steal a concept just because they don't get along with their former coworkers and pretend they have something unique to offer. Stick to Ripple. It is the original innovation, and it is backed by a solid company that is light years ahead of stellar in compliance and adoption. Posted by BankerBurger &pipe; Wednesday, March 04 2015 at 11:06PM ET source: BANK TECHNOLOGY NEWS Cryptocurrency Technology Set to Shake Up Correspondent Banking by Sarah Todd MAR 3, 2015 5:47pm ET If banks can't beat cryptocurrencies, they might as well join them. That seemed to be the consensus at a Tuesday panel on correspondent banking sponsored by The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. The multistep correspondent-banking model is being transformed by new entrants touting faster, cheaper services thanks to cryptocurrency technology, panelists said. They urged financial institutions to consider what they can learn from Bitcoin as well as digital currency developers like Ripple Labs and Stellar Development Foundation. "We really can't close our eyes," said Cheryl Gurz, managing director of the emerging technology segment at Bank of New York Mellon Treasury Services. "If we as traditional correspondent bankers don't keep looking and determining where [cryptocurrency technology] will take us, new entrants will completely take our space." Bitcoin now gives correspondent banking customers the option of sending money to one another directly, cutting financial institutions out of the process, said Wim Raymaekers, Swift's head of banking markets. Meanwhile, Ripple Labs' distributed-ledger technology allows local banks to move money back and forth while sidestepping automated clearing houses. Banks need to ask themselves "what is the technology that is enabling Bitcoin currency to move effectively with more visibility and at lower costs," Gurz said. "How can we take that into our current systems and make them more efficient, faster, cheaper and more transparent?" Protocols like Ripple and Stellar are "getting rid of bilateral legacy processes that banks have been using for years to keep money in their pockets," she continued. Gurz recommended that banks consider "strategic partnerships and alliances" with such firms in order to keep up with customers' evolving expectations. Some banks might hesitate to adopt distributed-ledger technology because of concerns about running afoul of regulators, some of whom have expressed reservations about cryptocurrency as a potential magnet for money laundering and other criminal activity. But regulators' concerns may be overblown, said Houman Shadab, a law professor at New York Law School. "From a compliance perspective, these distributed ledgers provide a database of transactions, and that's a good thing," he said. He pointed out that while Bitcoin was the currency of choice for the now-shuttered online black market Silk Road, "it was evidence based on the electronic paper trail from Bitcoin that was used to find the defendants in that case guilty." "Once you look past the headlines, it's a great investment from a bank's perspective to go to these technologies," Shadab said. Whether banks adopt Ripple Labs' distributed ledger or use their own, he said, quicker settlements will help them reduce costs. Banks can use some of those savings to invest in lines of business complementary to correspondent banking like supply-chain finance and trade finance, Shadab said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Ripple WILL live longer than BTC ... and not shorter than next failed national currency in next failed State or Revolution of any kind. this much is known, as far as I projected. so ~procrasti is reserved for your local currency gateway setup if u wants it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL unadvertised ripple gateways http://dividendrippler.com/howto#sysstatus to link DRK/LTC and other coinages to other existing central banks currencies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL what do you mean?

Owen Moore, Judson Kilpatrick Editor: Christopher Morley - Christopher Morley was an American journalist, novelist, essayist and poet. He also produced stage productions for a few years and gave college lectures. Christopher Morley was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. His father, Frank Morley, was a mathematics professor at Haverford College; his mother, Lilian Janet Bird, was a violinist who provided Christopher with much of his later love for literature and poetry. In 1900 the family moved to Baltimore, Maryland. In 1906 Christopher entered Haverford College, graduating in 1910 as valedictorian. He then went to New College, Oxford, for three years on a Rhodes scholarship, studying modern history. In 1913 Morley completed his Oxford studies and moved to New York City, New York. On 14 June 1914, he married Helen Booth Fairchild, with whom he would have four children, including Louise Morley Cochrane. They first lived in Hempstead, and then in Queens Village. They then moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in 1920 they made their final move, to a house they called "Green Escape" in Roslyn Estates, New York. They remained there for the rest of his life. In 1936 he built a cabin at the rear of the property (The Knothole), which he maintained as his writing study from then on. In 1951 Morley suffered a series of strokes, which greatly reduced his voluminous literary output. He died on March 28, 1957, and was buried in the Roslyn Cemetery in Nassau County, New York. After his death, two New York newspapers published his last message to his friends: "Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity." Morley began writing while still in college. He edited The Haverfordian and contributed articles to that college publication. He provided scripts for and acted in the college's drama program. He played on the cricket and soccer teams. In Oxford a volume of his poems, "The Eighth Sin" (1912), was published. After graduating from Oxford, Morley began his literary career at Doubleday, working as publicist and publisher's reader. In 1917 he got his start as an editor for Ladies' Home Journal (1917-1918), then as a newspaper reporter and newspaper columnist in Philadelphia for the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger. Morley's first novel, "Parnassus on Wheels," appeared in 1917. The protagonist, traveling bookseller Roger Mifflin, appeared again in his second novel, "The Haunted Bookshop" in 1919. In 1920 he returned to New York City to write a column (The Bowling Green) for the New York Evening Post. He was one of the founders and a longtime contributing editor of the Saturday Review of Literature. A highly gregarious man, he was the mainstay of what he dubbed the "Three Hours for Lunch Club." Out of enthusiasm for the Sherlock Holmes stories, he helped to found the Baker Street Irregulars and wrote the introduction to the standard omnibus edition of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. He also wrote an introduction to the standard omnibus edition of The Complete Works of Shakespeare in 1936, although Morley called it an "Introduction to Yourself as a Reader of Shakespeare." That year, he was appointed to revise and enlarge "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" (11th edition in 1937 and 12th edition in 1948). He was one of the first judges for the Book of the Month Club, serving in that position until the early 1950s. Author of more than 100 novels, books of essays, and volumes of poetry, Morley is probably best known for his 1939 novel "Kitty Foyle," which was made into an Academy Award-winning movie. Another well-known work is "Thunder on the Left" (1925). From 1928 to 1930, Morley co-produced theater productions (dramas) at his theaters in Hoboken, New Jersey, which he had "deemed the last seacoast in Bohemia." For most of his life, he lived in Roslyn Estates, Nassau County, Long Island, commuting to the city on the Long Island Rail Road, about which he wrote affectionately. In 1961, a 98-acre (40-hectare) park was named in his honor on Searingtown Road in Nassau County. This park preserves as a publicly available point of interest his studio, the "Knothole" (which was moved to the site after his death), along with his furniture and bookcases.

She is the author of several remarkable, lucid, austerely honest novels, the most celebrated of which is "The Days of Abandonment," published in Italy in 2002. Compared with Ferrante, Thomas Pynchon is a publicity profligate. It's assumed that Elena Ferrante is not the author's real name. In the past twenty years or so, though, she has provided written answers to journalists' questions, and a number of her letters have been collected and published. From them, we learn that she grew up in Naples, and has lived for periods outside Italy. She has a classics degree; she has referred to being a mother. One could also infer from her fiction and from her interviews that she is not now married. ("Over the years, I've moved often, in general unwillingly, out of necessity. . . . I'm no longer dependent on the movements of others, only on my own" is her encryption.)

Curzon served as Leader of the House of Lords in Prime Minister Lloyd George's War Cabinet and became Foreign Secretary in January 1919, where his most famous act was the drawing of the Curzon Line between a new Polish state and Russia. His publications include Russia in Central Asia (1889) and Persia and the Persian Question (1892).

It does not shortchange historical atrocity, pooh-pooh grievances, or whitewash systematic injustices."[44] Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter said, in terms of the series' conclusion, "Few things this dense and ambitious are able to stick the landing when the last act comes, but The Honorable Woman does it with aplomb."[37] A more critical look at the series as a whole came from Sonia Saraiya at The A.V. Club, who explained that "The story lobs so many ideas into the air that it can't possibly give them all a safe landing.

(1) In my production I would have objectified my individuality, its specific character, and, therefore, enjoyed not only an individual manifestation of my life during the activity, but also, when looking at the object, I would have the individual pleasure of knowing my personality to be objective, visible to the senses, and, hence, a power beyond all doubt. (2) In your enjoyment, or use, of my product I would have the direct enjoyment both of being conscious of having satisfied a human need by my work, that is, of having objectified man's essential nature, and of having thus created an object corresponding to the need of another man's essential nature . . .

WASHINGTON -- It was hard to pick out the repeat offender at the Supreme Court Monday -- the criminal defendant or the law under which he was prosecuted. Confused frequently by the statutes Congress writes, the court appeared close to declaring a 14-word clause in the Armed Career Criminal Act "unconstitutionally vague." The 1984 law, amended two years later, came out of a law-and-order period in American politics when lawmakers seeking to throw the book at repeat offenders established mandatory minimum sentences. Today, amid prison overcrowding, laws tying judges' hands are more often the target of repeal efforts. It wasn't the severity of Samuel Johnson's 15-year sentence for firearm possession that most irked the justices Monday. Nor was it any sympathy for Johnson himself, described by civil rights groups as a neo-Nazi and white supremacist with two robbery convictions. Rather, it was Johnson's third conviction -- for possession of a sawed-off shotgun -- that prompted the high court to hear his case for an unusual second time this term. That crime isn't spelled out as a violent felony in the 1984 law, nor are a lot of other crimes that leave federal judges guessing which ones count as one of three strikes triggering a mandatory sentence. When the case was heard in November, the issue was whether Johnson's sawed-off shotgun possession qualified as a violent crime under the law. The justices apparently decided during deliberations that the law itself may be unconstitutional and called for another hour of debate. A coalition of liberal and conservative justices complained that the law's "residual clause" is too vague. In addition to crimes such as burglary, arson and extortion, it classifies any offense as a violent felony if it "otherwise involves conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another." Justice Antonin Scalia, who has sought to declare the law unconstitutional in the past, said the "serious potential risk" standard was as vague as criminalizing "annoying conduct." "I suppose you could have a statute that criminalized annoying conduct, right?" he said. "And according to the government, that would not be unconstitutional, because there's some stuff that is clearly annoying, right?" Chief Justice John Roberts objected for a different reason. He argued that defense attorneys are at a disadvantage because without clear guidelines for violent conduct, they do not know whether to fight for their client or cop a plea. "It gives so much more power to the prosecutor in the plea negotiations, which is, of course, where almost all of the cases are disposed of," he said. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg came up with yet another reason to rule against the government -- its refusal to change the law after four instances in which the Supreme Court had to intervene. "Shouldn't we demand from Congress, if it wants to have that kind of (sentencing) enhancement, a really clear statement?" she said. Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben countered that the law is clear enough. He noted that lower court judges have put 17 crimes into the "serious potential risk of physical injury" category, including attempted rape, attempted arson, attempted kidnapping, child abuse, resisting arrest -- even "compelling a person to act as a prostitute." Justices Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito appeared to side with the government. Alito said the law may be clear but judges' interpretations faulty. "Can a statute be vague simply because this court messes it up?" he asked Katherine Menendez, the assistant federal defender from Minneapolis representing Johnson. What if judges within a geographical jurisdiction set their own standard for determining when a sentence should be increased, Kennedy said. "Do you think that's bad judging?" Menendez took issue not with the establishment of a tough sentencing standard but with lower courts' inability to agree on what it meant. The same crimes are considered violent or non-violent depending on which court is ruling, she said -- something Justice Stephen Breyer said has happened about 14 times. "I can think of no other instance in which the court has endeavored so many times in so few years to answer precisely the same question," Menendez said. In other words, if our MDC resist arrest three times, ACCA as it was written can be used to put away our MDC for 15 years to life in prison.

Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson judged Thoreau's endorsement of living alone and apart from modern society in natural simplicity to be a mark of "unmanly" effeminacy and "womanish solitude", while deeming him a self-indulgent "skulker."[94] Nathaniel Hawthorne was also critical of Thoreau, writing that he "repudiated all regular modes of getting a living, and seems inclined to lead a sort of Indian life among civilized men."[95][96] In a similar vein, poet John Greenleaf Whittier detested what he deemed to be the "wicked" and "heathenish" message of Walden, decreeing that Thoreau wanted man to "lower himself to the level of a woodchuck and walk on four legs."[97] In response to such criticisms, English novelist George Eliot, writing for the Westminster Review, characterized such critics as uninspired and narrow-minded: People--very wise in their own eyes--who would have every man's life ordered according to a particular pattern, and who are intolerant of every existence the utility of which is not palpable to them, may pooh-pooh Mr. Thoreau and this episode in his history, as unpractical and dreamy.[98] Thoreau himself also responded to the criticism in a paragraph of his work "Walden" (1854), by illustrating the irrelevance of their inquiries: I should not obtrude my affairs so much on the notice of my readers if very particular inquiries had not been made by my townsmen concerning my mode of life, which some would call impertinent, though they do not appear to me at all impertinent, but, considering the circumstances, very natural and pertinent. Some have asked what I got to eat; if I did not feel lonesome; if I was not afraid; and the like. Others have been curious to learn what portion of my income I devoted to charitable purposes; and some, who have large families, how many poor children I maintained. [...] Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience. Moreover, I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men's lives; [...] I trust that none will stretch the seams in putting on the coat, for it may do good service to him whom it fits.[99] Ralph Waldo Emerson was Henry's protector... let him indulge in the pursuit of 'Emersonian Perfection', no? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Birthdays in April http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klara_Hitler#Removal_of_tombstone http://www.britain-magazine.com/carousel/10-majestic-facts-about-queen-elizabeth -ii/ The Queen is the 40th monarch since William the Conqueror became King of England in 1066. The Queen was born on 21 April, 1926, but her official birthday is celebrated in June. The Queen has been at the saluting base of her troops in every Trooping the Colour ceremony since the start of her reign, with the exception of 1955, when a national rail strike forced the parade's cancellation. Every year The Queen sends Christmas trees to Westminster Abbey, Wellington Barracks, St Paul's Cathedral, St Giles and The Canongate Kirk (Edinburgh), Crathie Church, and local Sandringham schools and churches. The Queen is the first British monarch to have celebrated a Diamond Wedding Anniversary. The Queen's platinum and diamond engagement ring was made by jewellers Philip Antrobus Ltd, using diamonds from a tiara belonging to Prince Philip's mother. The Queen sent her first email in 1976 from an army base. The Queen has sat for over 130 portraits during her reign, painted in a variety of styles. The Queen has owned more than 30 corgis during her reign, starting with Susan who was a present for her 18th birthday in 1944. Her Majesty currently has two corgis - Willow and Holly. On 9 September 2015 the Queen will become the longest reigning monarch in British history - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Can you code for iOS2 ?

There, Far Away[a] (Serbian: , Tamo daleko) is a Serbian folk song which was composed on the Greek island of Corfu in 1916 to commemorate the Serbian Army's retreat through Albania during World War I. It is played in triple metre and begins solemnly in a minor key before switching to the relative major of the dominant key in the third line of the first verse, symbolizing hope before returning to the tonic minor key from the beginning. The lyrics to the song come in multiple versions, all of which end with the line "long live Serbia!". The song became very popular amongst Serbian migrs following World War I and was even played at the funeral of Serb inventor Nikola Tesla in January 1943. A symbol of Serbian culture and national identity, it came to be viewed as a form of national anthem in the Serbian diaspora during the Cold War and was prohibited alongside several other songs in Titoist Yugoslavia because it evoked the resurgence of Serbian national feeling. The identity of its writer and composer remained a matter of dispute for many decades. In 2008, historian Ranko Jakovljevi discovered that ore Marinkovi, an amateur musician from the village of Korbovo near Kladovo, was the song's original writer and composer, having composed the song in 1916 and secured its authorship rights in Paris in 1922. The song remains popular amongst Serbs in the Balkans and the diaspora. trying to find that chinese tune from soundcloud, instrumental piece... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL not fair I have juror duty coming up for a week in May 18.

He joined the health-care system in July 2005 as senior executive vice president. Community leaders said Sheridan helped transform the health-care system and supported efforts to revive Camden. They said his background in law and government made him a valuable resource to other health-care providers across South Jersey. Among other accomplishments, Sheridan oversaw construction and expansion of the $220 million Roberts Pavilion, helped create a Camden-based medical school and built a partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Army veteran also was transportation commissioner for then-Gov. Thomas H. Kean and chairman of NJ Transit Corp. from 1982 to 1985. Sheridan served the state earlier as a deputy attorney general and as assistant counsel for Gov. William T. Cahill.

Authorities said cocaine, baggies, and a scale were found in his car. The Prosecutor's Office has said that the arrest was unrelated to the deaths and that authorities have not pursued the charges. The Prosecutor's Office has also said the couple's sons "played no role" in the deaths and that there was no threat to the public. The Sheridan sons declined comment Tuesday night. "They're not going to have anything to say until the prosecutor issues a formal finding and concludes his investigation," said Tom Wilson, a family spokesman. Mark Sheridan, general counsel for the New Jersey Republican State Committee, is the administrator for his parents' estate, with an estimated value of $2 million. A will has not been located, according to a lawyer hired by the family to assist with the estate. The state's top officials, including Christie, have also remained quiet on the case. Michael Drewniak, a Christie spokesman, wrote in an e-mail last month that "the governor does not speculate or get involved in investigations in any way. He didn't like it when politicians did it when he was U.S. attorney, and he won't do it now as governor.

"Why was this weapon ignored by investigators given our father's broken ribs and the lack of a fireplace in the bedroom, and what was the fire poker doing in the bedroom?" the sons ask in their statement. They also said their father was found under an extremely heavy armoire and question how someone who supposedly committed suicide and had suffered multiple stab wounds ended up under an armoire. "Investigators claim to have interviewed 183 people as part of their investigation," the sons said. "They had complete access to our parents' medical records, phone records, emails and text messages. In spite of this, they have identified no motive for our father killing himself let alone his wife of 47 years. They concede there were no marital problems, no infidelity, no health problems, no financial problems and no drugs in our father's system. There was no note and their lives on the day they died were like any other.

While never charged in the fraud, he was arrested after depositing a worthless $25 million check on a closed account at a PNC Bank drive-through window in Eatontown, and then quickly wired out nearly all the money in an effort to cover a short-term loan that had come due. The next day, he tried to do it again. Facing 30 years in prison for the bank fraud, Dwek soon entered into a plea deal, agreeing to cooperate in a bid to cut the amount of time he would serve. While prosecutors sought leniency at sentencing in October 2012, pointing to the significant role Dwek played, U.S. District Judge Jose Linares expressed little patience for the informant's own crimes--including lying to the FBI about a missing rental car that later led to the revocation of his bail while he was preparing to testify in an upcoming trial. "I have one person to blame and that is myself," Dwek apologized at his sentencing. "I was hungry to make money. To gain power. To gain respect." But Linares, calling the amount of crime he committed "mind-boggling," sentenced him to 72 months in jail, ordered him to make $22.8 million in restitution, while forbidding him from any future involvement in the real estate business. Accounting for the 16 months Dwek spent in jail after his bail was revoked, and credit earned while in prison, he was served far less than six years, and was scheduled for release this September. His attorney, Charles Uliano of West Long Branch, declined comment. Of the 46 people charged in the case, 34 entered guilty pleas, four were convicted at trial, two were acquitted, one died before trial, one is a fugitive and charges were dropped against four. Among those sent to prison, former Guttenberg Councilman Vincent Tabbachino died in prison while serving a term of more than three years. He had been convicted of bribery and attempted extortion, and later pleaded guilty to money laundering. Still missing is Yolie Gertner, an Israeli charged in the case as a cash courier, who disappeared the day of the July 2009 arrests. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL add to Pete Mitchko having little or no confidence in the Somerset County prosecutor's office and their efforts so far to catch the person or persons responsible for the death of his loved ones ... http://www.myfoxny.com/story/27438007/brother-talks-about-mystery-surrounding-sh eridan-murders Now, state police detectives are working with the Somerset County prosecutor's office as well as members of the state attorney general's office to help move forward with this case which they believe to be homicide.

Cooper hired Sheridan as senior executive vice president in 2005; he was appointed president and CEO in 2008. He oversaw construction of a $220 million pavilion, and supported partnerships with Camden community organizations. In a statement on the deaths, the Cooper University Health System said Sheridan was on the boards of trustees of the New Jersey Council of Teaching Hospitals and the New Jersey Hospital Association and served on the Hospital Alliance of New Jersey board and executive committee and on Gov. Christie's health-care transition subcommittee in 2010. The statement said he was New Jersey commissioner of transportation under Gov. Thomas H. Kean and served as New Jersey deputy attorney general and assistant counsel for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, and was counsel for the New Jersey Senate majority. According to a biography on Cooper's website, John Sheridan served in the Army from 1968 to 1978, and graduated from St. Peter's College and Rutgers Law School. Sheridan and his wife, a retired teacher, have four sons, all in their 30s, and several grandchildren. Donald Parker, president of Carrier Clinic, a private mental health hospital in Belle Mead, N.J., where Sheridan was on the board of trustees for 25 years, said, "We're really devastated." Before retiring from that position six or seven years ago, Sheridan helped secure financing for a $20 million, 60-bed addition now under construction. "He's one of the stalwarts of the Carrier Clinic," Parker said. "He saw us through some very challenging times." After Sheridan resigned, his son Mark - a prominent lawyer who has represented Christie in the Bridgegate scandal - took his place. Mark Sheridan left the board last year. Parker said he learned of the fire in a text message from another board member Sunday morning, and "it sounded so odd to me." "They live in a very beautiful area. The possibility of having a fire in our area is fairly low. It's unusual. It's not a dry area," he said. He said Sheridan was planning to retire soon from Cooper. The family also has a home near Cooperstown, N.Y., where they spent time in summers. jparks@philly.com 610-313-8117 @JS_Parks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL From all I've read John is a good man and husband The only thing he failed is to foresee his and his wife of over 40 years' own untimely death Mark Sheridan told NJ Advance Media he took issue with a statement made by the state Medical Examiner's office saying it was uncommon for one to challenge the cause of death on a death certificate -- as the couple's sons plan to do in a lawsuit. "We are surprised to see the Medical Examiner's office talking about how unusual this lawsuit is especially since it will not be the first time that Dr. (Eddy) Lilavois has been sued in connection with reaching the wrong conclusion on a death certificate," Mark Sheridan said. "Presumably they are aware of his past mistakes." It's not the first time Mark Sheridan has criticized the job done by the medical examiner. In a statement he released on behalf of his family immediately after authorities deemed the case a murder-suicide, he said it was the pathologist hired by the family, and not Lilavois, who identified John Sheridan's deepest wounds. Lilavois currently serves as the supervisor for the Northern Regional Medical Examiner's Office, which covers Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Somerset counties, but in the mid-1990s he was an assistant medical examiner for New York City. Lilavois resigned his post with New York City in March 1995, days after an expose by the New York Daily News showed he'd changed the cause of death on a three-year-old boy's death certificate without notifying his family, the police or the Queens District Attorney's Office, The New York Times reported in a 1997 article. The boy's cause of death was initially ruled a homicide in August 1993 due to blunt force trauma, and his father, Edward Lauer, was considered the prime suspect, both newspapers reported. But, three weeks after the boy's death, Lilavois determined the death was natural -- caused by a brain aneurysm -- but failed to inform anyone of the change, the newspapers reported. He didn't change the death certificate until the following July. The New York Times reports the Medical Examiner's office apologized to the Lauer family after the failure was uncovered. http://inspiredreporters.com/sheridan-murder-suicide-medical-examiner-botched-ny c-death-case-in-1990s/ I hope New Jersey will not conspire to bury John and his wife's life with current UGLY state of affairs. ps. the irony is that Mark Sheridan has represented C.C in his Watergate scandal.

If German had tolerated Max Weber, they wouldn't ALL followed Hitler's aggressive Nazism, which basically scapegoating the weak for the stupid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL tablets OS sucks.... hardware is pretty nice...no? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL WeChat is the BEST portable Readers portable device ought to implement segregation..

If one CAN buy an extra unit, which will you choose? Here's another joke from our town. Tyrone None of his classmates liked him cause of his stupidity, especially his teacher, who was always yelling at him, "You're driving me mad! Tyrone." One day Tyrone's mom came to school to check on how he was doing. The teacher told his mom honestly, that her son was a disaster, getting very low marks, and never had she seen such a dumb boy in her entire teaching career. The mom was shocked at the feedback and withdrew her son from school and moved out of Detroit, relocating to Cleveland. 25 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an incurable cardio disease. All the doctors strongly advised her to have heart surgery, which only one surgeon could perform. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was successful. When she opened her eyes after the surgery she saw a handsome doctor smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something but eventually died. The doctor was shocked and was trying to work out what went wrong, when he turned around he saw our friend Tyrone, working as a cleaner in the clinic, who had unplugged the oxygen equipment in order to connect his vacuum cleaner! Don't tell me you thought Tyrone became a heart-surgeon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL I say let teacher die a 'natural' death unless one of students wish to give up their hearts... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Burmese tiger ?

Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday & the priest almost fell down when he saw him. He'd never been to church in his life. After Mass, the priest caught up with him & said: 'Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?' Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father. I misplaced me hat & I really really love that hat. McGlynn had a hat just like mine & I knew he came to church every Sunday. I also knew that he had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion & steal McGlynn's hat." The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I noticed that ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?" Murphy replied: "Well, after I heard your sermon on the Ten Commandments, I decided that I mustn't steal McGlynn's hat after all." With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a vast smile & said: "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat, than burn in Hell?" Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father! After ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL the Gospel of Luke Moses Law was deemed inadequate for a large growing population facing hostile environment and hostile Roman King.

More interesting, however, is the fact that abar* was aware that the Issa who was buried on top of Mount Jamma', south of Medina, was a person entirely different from the Jesus who was crucified by the Jews in Jerusalem during the reign of the Roman emperor Tiberius. "I have been told," he says, "that the man taken to be Issa and crucified in his place was an Israelite called Ishubin Fandara" (Tabari, vol.1, p.605). This name is none other than the pejorative name Yeshu' ben Panthera, or ben Pandera (see chapter three), by which the Jewish Talmud refers to the Davidic Jesus who was crucified in the Palestinian Jerusalem, and whom we have agreed to call Jeshu bar Nagara (see chapter seven). With respect to the dating of the career of the Koranic Jesus who was Issa ibn Maryam, the Damascene Muslim historian, Abul-Qasim Ibn Asakir, writing in the twelfth century AD (Sirat al-Sayyid al-Masih, Suleiman Murad, ed., Amman, 1996, par.10), cites a tradition related by an early Muslim authority who died in AD 721 which asserts that the "ascension" of Issa to God's presence occurred 933 years before the start of the Muslim era (AD 622). Unless another explanation can be given to this tradition, it means that the "ascension" of Issa (possibly to mean his canonization or apotheosis) occurred is 311 BC, and that his career as a prophet and Aaronic Messiah belonged to the late fourth century BC, and not to the late fifth or early fourth centurs earlier surmised (see chapter four). http://kamal-salibi.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-much-can-be-known-about-koranic.htm l This is in contrast to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melchizedek order of Jesus from the house of David...crucified in Jerusalem how often do you find an opponent in man's own house if not in himself? if you don't have someone else in mind to replace a broken tool, why waste space? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Christians are NOT, by default, followers of Christ, if judgement be done in Heaven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL north? south? of borderline insane? u can't tell, do you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Ellen Pao - punitive damage http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Judge-OKs-Punitive-Damages-in-Ellen-Pao-Gen der-Bias-Case-297151731.html It's not the end of the story or is it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Today is International day of Happiness! http://t.co/KwhrKVCd87 All God's creatures smiled. no poopoo face for u.

Here it goes: a long long time ago, a theology student asked his teacher, 'what is the most significant difference between old Testament and the New Testament?' The teacher thought long and hard. There is hardly anything that remains the same between the old and the New. But one observation was that in the new Testament, Jesus, the son of God gave his people many miracles according to others later testimonies. And you know what was the most prominent and frequent miracles God conducted in the old Testament? To give barren women and her angry husbands a son. Oddly, this was never asked of Jesus. What does THAT tell us? JESUS is TOO GAY to be counted on as a Savior and THE only son for all non-gay tribe of people whose only ambition is to have peace on earth alone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Jesus became a high priest by the order of Melchizedek ...

The nature of the open protocol is that the entries can always be submitted. Whether or not mining nodes confirm them and place them into finalized blocks, and whether or not other nodes broadcast them, is another issue. In the case of gambling sites that remit a single satoshi in order to inform the user of a loss, the transaction not only costs more than it is worth to move, but it has long been considered abusive of the collective ledger. Such uses of the network indubitably contribute to the phenomenon known as "block chain bloat."

Ume blossoms on snow covered branches yearn to be favored by the coming and going season Idling poets put away their pens meditating on the life and death of winter blossoms Ume ought not to subject itself to harsh winter snow Yet snow is totally crushed by Ume's fleeting scent.

BTC at its low @Bitcoinrat * 4 months ago The remark by Saxo Banks Matteo Cassina that for bitcoin to be acceptable to Banks .." Someone will hold the keys and issue them" .. just shows us that he fundamentally doesn't understand the nature of a decentralised distributed open source ledger based on consensus of trust and verification. ( or is deliberately trying to mislead the general public ) Banks are running all over the place at the moment, because they now realize the impact that the blockchain innovation is going to have on their World. ( and profits ) In their struggle to try and 'control' its spread, they are desperately looking for ways to organise a blockchain themselves that suits their own ends. ( hence the current talk of an IBM/Ripple/Banks network ) The ridiculous notion that you can just create something that will act as a trusted blockchain, without having a mechanism, like open access bitcoin mining to ensure the motive and profit generation that drives the Blockchain Network, would be fatally flawed from its inception. These are becoming very interesting times. The @BitcoinRat just knows that the next 18 months are going to be remarkable. The Banks will find that without bitcoins mining discovery and consensus verification - which fosters cooperation for the good of the Network - Their own system will be open to exactly the same sort of 'fixing' and fraud that already plagues inter-bank actions today. ( Banks fundamentally don't trust each other and are in a dog-eat-dog- competitive environment) What will be certain is that some Banks will 'cut and run' and link themselves , via bitcoins, to the Blockchain network. ( Maybe Bransons 'virgin money ? - formerly Northern Rock ) bitcoin is no fad - its going to change whole sections of society in the next decade.

I live in humility and grace. ( how's that squared-off if someone has never been close to angelic destruction? ) Apathy - Life is too short not to care. Hatred - Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21) Negativity - I will put the best construction on everything when it comes to other people.

But that does not always translate to abundance. Loneliness - With K5/Zombie, Jesus I am never alone. He is with me wherever I go.

Newsweek issued a statement about this article on March 7, 2014 * Dorian Nakamoto's Statement Recieved on March 19, 2014: My name is Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. I am the subject of the Newsweekstory on Bitcoin. I am writing this statement to clear my name. I did not create, invent or otherwise work on Bitcoin. I unconditionally deny the Newsweek report. The first time I heard the term "bitcoin" was from my son in mid-February 2014. After being contacted by a reporter, my son called me and used the word,which I had never before heard. Shortly thereafter, the reporter confronted me at my home. I called the police. I never consented to speak with the reporter. In an ensuing discussion with a reporter from the Associated Press, I called the technology "bitcom." I was still unfamiliar with the term.My background is in engineering. I also have the ability to program. My most recent job was as an electrical engineer troubleshooting air traffic controlequipment for the FAA. I have no knowledge of nor have I ever worked on cryptography, peer to peer systems, or alternative currencies. I have not been able to find steady work as an engineer or programmer for ten years. I have worked as a laborer, polltaker, and substitute teacher. I discontinued my internet service in 2013 due to severe financial distress. I am trying to recover from prostate surgery in October 2012 and a stroke I suffered in October of 2013. My prospects for gainful employment has been harmed because of Newsweek's article. Newsweek's false report has been the source of a great deal of confusion and stress for myself, my 93-year old mother, my siblings, and their families. I offer my sincerest thanks to those people in the United States and around the world who have offered me their support. I have retained legal counsel. This will be our last public statement on this matter. I ask that you now respect our privacy.

Here the Ottomans fought their victorious war over the Mamluks which set loose the Ottoman Empire. As Turkey is slowly re-establishing that torturous empire today, the modern version of the Mamluks re-appear in history, and this time as ISIS. In short, most of the conflict in the ME has been coming to grips of a lost empire or efforts to re-establish the bloody, corrupt and oppressive glory days of the Ottomans.

Only hard work can get people out of poverty NOT government handouts. 7 * Share > Avatar MrTonyD Barrustio * 10 days ago I've worked on lights-out factories - where we literally turned off the lights and let the robots unload trucks, pass parts from robot to robot, and produce finished product. Many people don't realize that we are now surrounded by products which have never been touched by human hands (we made an effort to use only components produced in fully automated factories. Anytime a human was involved it created the possibility of human error.) So the idea that "work" is the solution is really becoming part of the past - we need to find new solutions to our new economic problems. No "work" is required to produce a massive volume of products. When the factory was done, it was shipped offshore and "purchased" by an offshore company owned by a group of the executives. Now it provided a "service" to our company to reduce any profits (and reduce exposure to US taxes). The executive were then given the "opportunity" to buy offshore stocks in that company (that stock had a value near zero on paper, so they wouldn't have any taxes unless they wanted to). So they made billions on the billions they already had - and it was hidden offshore and away from taxes. Does that sound like working for their money? Both my parents were migrant farm-workers. They taught me to work at a young age. But these are different times - and we need to be able to understand how the rich have stolen the wealth of our society - and caused the poverty we are now struggling to solve. 12 * Share > Avatar Barrustio MrTonyD * 10 days ago For every job a robot produces there is at least one out there that it can't produce.

Law against the People - Essay to demystify law order and the courts. ( edited by robert lefcourt) Hints & the World in poetry and prose, according to William M. Kunstler, Foreword by Allen Ginsberg. My life as a radical Lawyer, with Sheila Isenberg. Hilarious readings. 3. Amiri Baraka - Nov. 19, 1995 What impressed me most deeply or, more precisely, educated me about Bill Kunstler, was the clear example of class stance being most important in the struggle against international villainy not nationality or gender or sexual orientation, &c. ( Or whatever else the bourgeoisie comes up iwht to muddy and confuse the struggling people.) Certainly these are all struggles for democracy, which gives them a commonality, but too often the leading forces ( not necessarily, unfortunately, the advanced forces) are so smallgrouped off according to nationality, gender, sexual orientation, &c., that the Big Doc can get over with his timeworn, but still reliable Big Caesar gambit, divide and conquer. Because even in the church of narrow nationalism or bourgeois feminism or sectarian gayness, there were always folks reaching out for Bill Kunstler. That was a given in the movement, in any serious aspect of its total expression. If you got jammed by Uncle Jam and any of his United Snakes, the cry would go up, 'Get Bill Kunstler." ( But I guess that same cry went up many times among the Dogs of War themselves, with different meaning.) From the civil rights struggles across the South against the most American of nazis, with King and SCLC, with Stokely and Rap, and SNCC, with Bobby and the Panthers in the infamous New Haven frameup. In the Chicago proto-Hitlerian so-called Chicago Seven case, which followed the Days of Rage, where a certain Judge Hoffman actually gagged Panther leader Bobby Seale just to show the world that Bloods were still 3/5ths of a swine, and if you tried to put your two cents in, you would go literally gagged. And most recently, that slam dunk he did against the Feds in their pitiful attempt to frame Malcolm X's daughter for mistakenly believing Minister Farrakhan had something to do with her father's murder. ( And they, of all people, certainly know the error of this view, since they killed Malcolm themselves. ) Bill was usually right 'on it' and his contributions to the struggle for democracy should never be diminished. He was always on the scene and ready to rumble. Bill Kunstler was a man of principle. I remember he called me to be a character witness of an up-and-coming Newark boxer, who at the time was fairly well known, at least by boxing fans. He was in the slam for murder. I met Bill in the courthouse and was ready to go in and testify, when as he was briefing me about the case I discovered that this guy did pull this murder, in fact it was one of my cousins he had killed. One with the same first name I was given, Everett. Naturally, I nixed that. But then Bill nixed it right after that. He had been fighting to get this brother out because he believed that, like so many of the one out of four Black males in jail or in some other way held fast in the U.S. web of Black national oppression, the dude was probably innocent in the first place, as so many are. But when he got the word, that, no, this was the actual dude, then Bill 'booked' very shortly thereafter. hey, I need translation here. What does 'booked' mean, exactly? in this context? The civil liberties lies by Michael J. Kennedy 1971 The people's kicking leg is somewhat weak and out of shape. This is due to a human addiction to governmental paternalism and the promises of similar political parties. We suck up all the patriotic pap and placebos each party feeds us. The people should reject out of hand the illegitimate authority of unresponsive government by beginning to exercise their legs. This exercise will strengthen the natural, incontestable human right of the people to control their government and not vice versa. The boot is the fundamental human power to compel the government to redress grievances. The kick will be the reflex action of an angry, coordinated, and exercised people. The decision to kick is the people's, like it or not, want it or not. Who are the people? They are not the government. They are so hard to find as the middle class, working class, or 'silent majority'. Like 'society', the people probably don't exist. In a search for the people, one can only come up with individuals, no two of whom are alike in all particulars. Thus, each individual in a mutual interest with other individuals must decide what is a grievance and what is its appropriate redress. Inasmuch as most individual rights are abridged by government, either directly or indirectly, those situations in which people claim rights to have been abridged by others' exercise of rights are not crucial to this discussion, nor are they a source of much dilemma. Most crucial situations involves human rights versus property rights. Clearly, the human should prevail over the property. Where one is faced with conflicting human rights, the natural priorities of time, numbers, merit, and competition will resolve the conflict. The people should avoid submitting the conflict to government for resolution, for government will only fuck it up! That is as it should be. As it is, government has more power than an individual, and being antithetical to people, government uses its power to put down the people and build up government. This is where the boot comes in. If one or more individuals determine that they are aggrieved by government, they should 'inform' the government of the grievance and specify the redress ( e.g. get the hell out of the war in Southeast Asia). This is the demand/request stage of the enforcement of civil liberties. It should be noted again that only the rich and/or organized even bother with this step. If government does not respond, it may be because government did not hear, or hearing, did not understand. In which case, the petition should be sharper, closer and simpler (e.g. file suit to get the government the hell out of Vietnam, petition Congressmen, etc.) Again, a 'right' reserved to the rich and elite. If the government still fails to respond, the aggrievees have no choice but to take on directly the government's illegitimate authority ( e.g. refuse military induction; if inducted, refuse to serve; counsel, support, and incite others to do likewise). This step involves negative or passive attacks on the government and its illegitimate laws. At this step we lost most, if not all, of our 'civil libertarians'. Also at this step we can count on a government response: repression and intimidation. The government has not only refused to redress grievances, but also compounded the grievances by trying to repress the aggrievees. ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Lawyers for the Poor Can't Win by Robert Lefcourt 'A power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will."

Baraka held the post for a year mired in controversy and after substantial political pressure and public outrage demanding his resignation. During the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival in Stanhope, New Jersey, Baraka read his 2001 poem on the September 11th attacks "Somebody Blew Up America?", which was criticized for anti-Semitism and attacks on public figures. Because there was no mechanism in the law to remove Baraka from the post, the position of state poet laureate was officially abolished by the State Legislature and Governor McGreevey. LOL...

For this reason it is no wonder their faces are weak and blank....The average ofay [white person] thinks of the black man as potentially raping every white lady in sight. Which is true, in the sense that the black man should want to rob the white man of everything he has. But for most whites the guilt of the robbery is the guilt of rape. That is, they know in their deepest hearts that they should be robbed, and the white woman understands that only in the rape sequence is she likely to get cleanly, viciously popped.[52] In 2009, he was again asked about the quote, and placed it in a personal and political perspective: Those quotes are from the essays in Home, a book written almost fifty years ago. The anger was part of the mindset created by, first, the assassination of John Kennedy, followed by the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, followed by the assassination of Malcolm X amidst the lynching, and national oppression. A few years later, the assassination of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. What changed my mind was that I became a Marxist, after recognizing classes within the Black community and the class struggle even after we had worked and struggled to elect the first Black Mayor of Newark, Kenneth Gibson.[53] September 11 attacks In July 2002, ten months after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Baraka wrote a poem entitled "Somebody Blew Up America?"[54] that was controversial and met with harsh criticism. The poem is highly critical of racism in America, and includes angry depictions of public figures such as Trent Lott, Clarence Thomas, and Condoleezza Rice. It also contains lines claiming Israel's involvement in the World Trade Center attacks: Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers To stay home that day Why did Sharon stay away? [...] Who know why Five Israelis was filming the explosion And cracking they sides at the notion Baraka said that he believed Israelis and President George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the September 11 attacks,[55] citing what he described as information that had been reported in the American and Israeli press and on Jordanian television. He denied that the poem is antisemitic, and points to its accusation, which is directed against Israelis, rather than Jews as a people.[10][11] The Anti-Defamation League though, denounced the poem as antisemitic,[56] though Baraka and his defenders defined his position as anti-Zionism. After the poem's publication, then-governor Jim McGreevey tried to remove Baraka from the post of Poet Laureate of New Jersey, to which he had been appointed following Gerald Stern in July 2002. McGreevey learned that there was no legal way, according to the law authorizing and defining the position, to remove Baraka. On October 17, 2002, legislation was introduced in the State Senate to abolish the post which was subsequently signed by Governor McGreevey and became effective July 2, 2003.[57] Baraka ceased being poet laureate when the law became effective. In response to legal action filed by Baraka, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that state officials were immune from such suits, and in November 2007 the Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear an appeal of the case.[58] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL poet laureate for New Jersey I wonder if enough of world citizen of 'Republic of Letters' CAN make a living in the State of New Jersey.

When society gives rise to social classes as a result of the creation of an economic surplus, which becomes privately appropriated and therefore distributed unequally, one class protects its rights of appropriation by subjecting others to its will. This class then creates, out of a need to fix and legitimate its relationships with all other classes, a state, and with it, law. State and law thus reflect the accumulation of property as private property in the hands of the few and the demise of property as social property in the hands of the many. The law of theft dates from the emergence, on a large scale, of private, movable property and from its unequal distribution, i.e., scarcity. The law, 'Thou shalt not steal," therefore is an expression of the existence of poverty and a social need to steal. Both state and law exist as functions of the degree of contradiction between two progressively polarized social classes: those who increasingly own the instruments of production in society, and those who are forced to work at them. The mere existence of a unified system of law for two social classes which are increasingly in fundamental opposition to one another is itself oppressive. The purpose of such a system of law can only be the 'regularization' of conflict between the two to insure that differences are always resolved in favor of the dominant party. Law, therefore, is an expression of the existence of fundamental inequality and exists wherever and to the extent that inequality exists. ... The individual is most separated from the collective conditions of his act in the field of criminal law. Yet as Marx states in German Ideology, "Crime, i.e. the struggle of the single individual against the dominant conditions, is as little the product of simple caprice as the law itself. It is rather conditioned in the same way as the latter. The same 'visionaries' who see in law the rule of an independent and general will, see in crime a simple breaking of the law." The legal process isolates crime from its social roots, although it may pay attention to the mother or father who drinks, or their individual lack of money. But it considers irrelevant the fact that our social system creates crime through its daily operation, sanctions the robbery of consumers by commodity producers and of laborers by employers, but not the reverse, thereby legitimizing and reproducing inequality. ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL i have a better idea ... basic income is to give free daycare to any mother who wanted such service.

David Zurawik, television critic of the Baltimore Sun, was one of the few reporters who actually paid attention to Chelsea Clinton's brief, unimaginably lucrative career as a television reporter for NBC News. His assessment when Rock Center was finally cancelled: From the hiring of the Chelsea Clinton as special correspondent, to the quotes from Williams comparing his team to the baseball Hall of Famers in Cooperstown, never has such journalistic bankruptcy been promoted with such self-important bluster. And that's saying something in a TV business built as much on narcissism and hype as it is journalism. For all the alleged newsmagazine all-stars, the best journalistic moment "Rock Center" had came from Bob Costas, a sports commentator and essayist, in his interview with disgraced former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Costas is a legitimate Hall of Famer in his realms of sports and popular culture. But he's a member of the "Sunday Night Football" team -- not "Rock Center." I have wasted all the words I can on Clinton's pathetic performance -- and the preposterous claim by Steve Capus, then-president of NBC News, that it was as if Clinton had been preparing her whole life to be a network newswoman. Was there anyone connected with this show who could speak the truth about anything -- or did they think if they said they were epic, people would automatically believe them? You can argue that Chelsea Clinton's NBC News work -- $600,000 per year for poor-quality part-time work -- is sort of the Rosetta Stone for a lot that's wrong in modern American life -- the incestuous relationship between the governing class and the media, the power of celebrity and nepotism, the disregard of legitimate criticism and the morale for those who actually did the work.

In Grimm's "The Juniper Tree," the perfect, beautiful wife wanted a child so badly she died of happiness when he was born, and then was buried as she had asked, beneath that tree. But the stepmother envied the boy and one afternoon when he was looking inside a chest to find an apple, she slammed the lid down on his neck, and his head flew off. Now what will I do? she thought. She picked him up and set his head back on, put an apple in his hands, and when her own daughter, Ann Marie, returned from school, she said, "Go ask your brother to share the apple I just gave him, and if he doesn't answer, box his ears." The girl went off and did as she was told, then ran back sobbing, "O Ann Marie, what have you done? But we will stew him in the sour broth, and no one will know." So the woman cut him up and served that black stew to her husband, who couldn't help but eat, saying, "What good food this is ! Give me more." And the more he ate the more he wanted. 4. In the newspapers I read about a father who put his son in a bathtub filled with scalding water because the child needed to be taught a lesson. So much that seems essential is simply not included. And this: in California a young woman named Betty Lansdown Fouquet left her five-year-old daughter out to die on the center divider of the interstate Twelve hours later, when the girl was rescued by the highway patrol, they had to pry her fingers from the Cyclone fence. She told them she had run after the car which was carrying her stepfather, her brother and sister, and her mother, "for a long time." 5. But Ann Marie saved her brother's bones, tied them in her scarf, and laid them in the grass under the juniper. All at once that tree began to tremble, and a bird flew out of the branches, singing so sweetly no one could resist, even the stepmother had to go outside to hear it, and a millstone fell on her head and she was crushed. From that spot fire rose. When it was gone the bird was gone, the brother was restored, and he took his father and sister by their hands, and they went back inside the house, sat down and ate their supper. election 'officiating' I throw down my goblet for Homeowner Association election this year!

Whatever the charge, Lee demanded an opportunity to refute it before a court-martial. Lee was arrested that day, and his court-martial began before the week was out. HE was found guilty on three separate charges, and never served under America's colors again. ... Washington exclaimed, "I do most devoutly wish that we had not a single Foreigner among us, except the Marquis de la Fayette, who acts upon very different principles than those which govern the rest." ... It did not go well. A joint attack, with both armies landing simultaneously, was planned for August 10, but Sullivan seized an opportunity to advance one day earlier. Having received word that the British were evacuating, he sent his men forward on Aug. 9 without notifying d'Estaing. As John Laurens related the story to his father, "This measure gave much umbrage to the French officers. They conceived their troops injured by our landing first, and talked like women disputing precedence in a country dance, instead of men engaged in pursuing that common interest of two great nations." Feeling angry and betrayed, d'Estaing struck out on his own. Without consulting the Americans, he dispatched most of his fleet from Newport Harbor in pursuit of British ships, leaving Sullivan to discover that his naval protection had been reduced to a mere three ships. For a brief moment, Lafayette snapped. He did not condone d'Estaing's departure, but neither would he abide insults to French honor. With tempers flaring on all sides, Lafayette was so irate that he dared not share his emotions with his mentor, Washington; he later confessed that he feared he might 'risk our friendship by expressing the sentiments of an afflicted heart." Still, he kept striving to make peace. "Would you believe," he asked d'Estaing in a letter of Aug. 24, "that, forgetting the general obligations owed to France and the services specifically rendered by the fleet, the greater part of these epople here allow faded prejudiced to revive and speak as thought they had been abandoned, almost betrayed." Nonetheless, Lafayette pointed out that their mutual disgust with Sullivan's cohort "need not mean falling out with General Washington and Congress," whom he termed "the two great driving forces of all our work." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL yes. now I'm wondering .. what happened to the Kingdom of Prussia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Prussia I lived near King of Prussia PA when I first enter US 48 states.

Indeed, Bloom, Bennett, Bellow, and the rest ( known by now in some quarters as the Killer B's) are advocating one of them: to create a narrowly specific cultural capital that will be the normative referent for everyone, but will remain the property of a small and powerful caste that is linguistically and ethnically unified. It is this caste that is referred to by the "we" in Saul Bellow's astoundingly racist remark that "when the Zulus have a Tolstoy, we will read him." Few doubt that behind the Bennett-Bloom program is a desire to close not the American mind, but the American university, to all but a narrow and highly uniform elite with no commitment to either multiculturism or educational democracy. Thus while the Killer B's (plus a C -Lynne Cheney, the Bennett mouthpiece now heading the National Endowment for the humanities) depict themselves as returning to the orthodoxies of yesteryear, their project must not be reduced to nostalgia or conservatism. Neither of these explain the blanket contempt they express for the country's universities. They are fueled not be reverence for the past, but by an aggressive desire to lay hold of the present and future. -- source 'The Politics of Liberal Education' Edited by Darryl J.

Located 36 miles northeast of Belize City, the island is easily accessible by either water taxi or airplane. Visitors arrive in the sandy and picturesque island community of San Pedro Town, with a population of approximately 8,000 people. Once a sleepy fishing village, this town has grown dramatically over the years with the fast progression of the tourism industry. With its earliest tourists arriving in the 1920s and first real hotel being established in 1965, Ambergris Caye is one of Belize's most popular island destinations. The island is very flat, and is a 25-mile long slice of limestone with mangrove on the west and narrow beaches on the east. The white streets in San Pedro Town accommodate barefooted pedestrians as well as bicycles and golf carts. There are only three main streets in the town, so it is virtually impossible to get lost.

This should never have been. We are headed down a slippery slope in Belize. All we have to do is watch what happened in Mexico from 1910 onwards because of unbridled international investment capital. All we have to do is watch how many of its own people Guatemala decided to kill between 1960 and 1996 because of unbridled international investment capital. The Government of Belize has gotten away with many transgressions because it is not clear if the Opposition to them has a different agenda where economic development philosophy is concerned. Since 1961, Belize has had seven (7) PUP governments and four (4) UDP ones. If there is anything we have learned during this time, it is that the Office of the Prime Minister is an inordinately powerful one. The Prime Minister can do you something terrible one day, and publicly comfort you the next. The Prime Minister can interfere in the business of the courts, and no one can say anything. Our political system is flawed: the Prime Minister is like a monarch. The Prime Minister giveth and the Prime Minister taketh away. Blessed is the name of the Prime Minister. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL American Priest killed in armed conflict in '83 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Carney_%28American_priest%29 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL CCJ president Sir Dennis Byron http://amandala.com.bz/news/belize-signal-honor-hosting-ccj-president-sir-dennis -byron/ BELIZE CITY, Fri. Jan. 16, 2015-Sir Dennis Byron, president of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) - the regional court where disputes arising from the breaches in the CARICOM integration treaty can be ventilated, and the court which has for the past five years been Belize's final appellate court - arrived in Belize this Thursday on a working visit as guest of honor for the 2015 law conference hosted by the Bar Association of Belize. Eamon Courtenay, President of the Belize Bar Association, said that Byron's visit to Belize is "a signal honor." Justice Byron was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000 and he became a member of London's Privy Council in 2004. He was sworn in as the second president of the CCJ in September 2011 in his home country, St. Kitts. During his visit, Byron paid courtesy calls on the President of the Court of Appeal, Sir Manuel Sosa, as well as Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin. He also paid courtesy calls on Governor General Sir Colville Young, Prime Minister Dean Barrow and Opposition Leader Francis Fonseca. On Friday morning, he was hosted at a press conference at the Radisson Fort George Hotel, where he was also scheduled to deliver keynote remarks to members of Belize's legal fraternity. Of 15 member states of CARICOM, only Belize, Barbados and Guyana have given final appellate jurisdiction to the court, in place of the UK-based Privy Council. Since Belize joined the CCJ in 2010, all Belize cases filed after May 31, 2010 have had to be channeled to the CCJ. They have totaled 29, Byron reported. According to Courtenay, no criminal appeals have been filed at the CCJ for Belize. The vast majority of cases have been civil appeals and a new case to be heard this year was filed by Jamaican Maurice Tomlinson under the original jurisdiction of the court, under the Caribbean community law - the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas. The court has dealt with several Belize cases to which the state or government has been a party, and we suggested to Byron that other nations in the region might be watching and making an assessment to see how justly the court deals with cases where states are parties, in order to weigh whether they want to ascribe to the full jurisdiction of the court. "When a case comes before our court, our objective is to provide a just and fair result. The political consequences are irrelevant," Byron rejoined. Byron told the press that the CCJ does not lobby or market itself to Caribbean states. He said that it does its work in a transparent manner, to provide a clear view of how the court operates, and it makes multimedia transcripts available on its website by the end of the day. Byron explained that the CCJ has adopted a policy of providing information to the public, and it hopes that this will be enough to give people confidence in the operations of the court. Sir Dennis Byron announced that sometime within the first half of 2015, the CCJ will hold its first sitting on Belizean soil. He said that the logistics are currently being worked out, and he declined to cite which case would bring him and his colleague justices to the Jewel. New cases listed for Belize in 2015 include the challenge of the Jamaican LGBT activist, Tomlinson, to the immigration laws of Belize and Trinidad, as well as the appeal in the Maya land rights case filed by 23 villages of Toledo. Byron declined to discuss any of the pending cases listed for Belize, so we asked him to explain how those Belize cases which have already been heard by the CCJ have helped to build legal jurisprudence for the region. Byron acknowledged that the Belize cases have been very significant, and many of them have raised very important legal precedence. "That's the subject of my talk at lunchtime today. Mr. Courtenay gave me a very hard task because he asked me to address this topic, but he only gave me fifteen minutes. But nonetheless, I was hoping to develop just that theme today, to demonstrate the way in which jurisprudence deriving from the cases in Belize have made an important contribution to developing jurisprudence in our region," he replied. At the law conference, titled "Reforms, Rights and Remedies," Justice Dennis Byron delivered the keynote address on, "The Development of Caribbean Jurisprudence with Emphasis on Belize." Justice Byron cited the case of the Attorney General of Belize versus Florencio Marin, Sr., and Joe Coye, former ministers of government in Belize, as cases that are not only novel but which also strengthen good governance in that they established that a case for misfeasance in public office could have been brought against the ex-government officials. Another case from Belize which has helped to enrich Caribbean jurisprudence was that of Philip Zuniga et al versus the Attorney General of Belize. Byron cited the case as one which demonstrates the importance of the supremacy of the Constitution, since sections of the Supreme Court of Judicature Act were found to not be in compliance with the Constitution and had to be modified by the Court. He also pointed to two other CCJ cases from other states which have relevance for Belize: Trinidad Cement v Guyana, which demonstrated that under the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, which establishes the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME), persons or companies who originate in one state could not only file suit at the CCJ against their state but also against another CARICOM member under the court's original jurisdiction, which allows it to adjudicate matters having to do with the CARICOM treaty. Another regionally important case which he said gives the region guidance is the case of Shanique Myrie of Jamaica, who successfully sued Barbados at the CCJ after she was cavity-searched and deported from that country. (The CCJ awarded her damages equivalent to roughly BZ$80,000.) Over the course of Friday's law conference, a wide range of other topics were discussed. The conference opened with a presenter from England who spoke on digital assets: "Things like if a person dies, suppose they leave a will or if they don't leave a will, who has a right to contact Gmail [or] Yahoo to get their password? Who has the right to their Facebook and that type of thing?" Courtenay explained. He said that criminal reform was also on the conference agenda, such as the reforms to allow for the anonymity of witnesses. Lawyers would also discuss rights and remedies of persons pursued by creditors, as well as appointments of receivers and the rights of receivers, he added. Courtenay pointed out that Belize's rules on divorces, custody, etc., are over 80 years old and not fit for today's circumstances. Those rules were also discussed at the law conference. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Our Taxi Driver at Belize airport His name is James. born in the Jungle.

But to get to the requisite refinements, a lot of work had to be done to get the instruments correctly calibrated. Crothers has been blasting COBE for years, and he, Crothers, also is a crack pot, but the refinements needed to get resolution came from the fact that the resolution of COBE was , well PATHETIC. WMAP spectrum analysis, which I have books on, is well mind bogglingly complex. Needless to say I am not surprised at all that it, Cobe, was a crappy viewing platform. This is a case where a scientific revolution was started on hope, and in the END came out well, but if one looks at the resolution of COBE, it was, well simply not adequate for the job.

An absolutely stunning Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today appears to show why all top US officials failed to join their counterparts in Paris yesterday who marched in solidarity against the Charlie Hebdo Massacre as it reveals a top French police commissioner was "suicided" within hours of his attempting to obtain a European Arrest Warrant for President Barack Obama and other as yet unnamed American leaders. According to this report, French police Commissioner Helric Fredou [Photo top right] was tasked immediately after the 7 January Charlie Hebdo Massacre with the examination of documents contained in a small backpack found in the getaway car used by the killers Sad and Chrif Kouachi, and which contained the driver's license/identity card of Sad. Also discovered by Police Commissioner Fredou in this small backpack, SVR analyst in this report say, were a number of "cryptic documents" and telephone numbers, one of the most important being a US cell-phone number "directly linked" to former US general and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director David Petraeus. [Photo 2nd right] Upon Police Commissioner Fredou's discovery of this "Petraeus-link", this report further states, SVR signals intelligence data show he contacted Paris prosecutor Franois Molins and requested that the Cour D'assises (Assize Court) issue an immediate European Arrest Warrant for President Barack Obama and "other" such American officials to be named within 24 hours. Within 3 hours of Police Commissioner Fredou making this request, however, this report continues, his body was found by his desk in his office with a single gunshot to the head at 0100hr on Thursday 8 January that was quickly ruled a suicide; and Obama regime officials began flooding the US media with reports that former CIA director Petraeus was in danger of being arrested on felony charges relating to classified materials found in his mistresses possession. Though this SVR report doesn't explicitly state what evidence Police Commissioner Fredou discovered to make his unprecedented request to have the American President arrested, it does allude to a much larger conspiracy surrounding the Charlie Hebdo Massacre which not only involves Saudi Arabia, but also the CIA. Most critical to note about the Charlie Hebdo Massacre, this report states, is that it occurred 48 hours after French President Franois Hollande, on 5 January, stated to the Obama regime that the Western sanctions against Russia must be immediately ended. Equally important to note, SVR analysts in this report point out, are that French authorities had, also, been warned about an impending attack upon their nation on 4 January when Saudi Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud delivered the warning to French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, and as we had previously reported on. Also to be noted is that the SVR in their previous (7 January) report noted that the killers behind the Charlie Hebdo Massacre were terror operatives of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), a fact confirmed on 11 January when a martyrdom video of one of the killers named Amedy Coulibaly was released by ISIS. [Note: this previous report should be read as it provides needed context for this one.] As France today begins to deploy an additional 10,000 troops throughout their country to (hopefully) forestall further attacks, and the West gears up for a fresh rampage across the war-scarred Middle East in response to this massacre, this report concludes, it should not be forgotten that the goal of Islamic violence is to bring down society's fist on Europe's Muslim minority - all the better to sweep them up into the waiting arms of al-Qaeda, the ISIS, or whatever form these fanatics invent. But to who the real terrorist fanatics are, however, and according to the esteemed antiwar American author Justin Raimondo, one needs look no further than the corridors of Washington D.C., and of which he states: "My biggest fear is that we'll all wake up one day to find that the monsters are right here, where they've always been. By then it will be too late to leash them and put them in their proper place, which is a zoo."

The prince has previously been criticised for his former friendship with Epstein, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison for soliciting a minor for prostitution. The prince and Epstein were photographed meeting in December 2010, after the tycoon had served his prison sentence, and the prince has also visited Epstein at his Florida home over the years. The prince later had to apologise for his friendship with him, and stepped down as the UK special representative for trade and investment after 10 years in the role. US citizen Virginia Roberts waived her anonymity in an interview with the Mail on Sunday in 2011, claiming she had been sexually exploited by Epstein as a teenager. She also claimed to have met Prince Andrew on several occasions, but the paper said there was no suggestion of any sexual contact between Virginia Roberts and the prince. Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent, said the prince was "once again the focus of an attention he'd rather avoid because of his past friendship with a convicted sex offender". e.g. Prince Andrew with Jeffrey Epstein ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL if you want...

(c. 1363 - c. 1443), also called Kanze Motokiyo ( ?), was a Japanese aesthetician, an actor, and a playwright. Five-act play Until the 18th century, most plays were divided into five acts. This format is known as the five-act play, and was famously analyzed by Gustav Freytag in Die Technik des Dramas (Dramatic techniques). The five acts played specific functions in the overall structure of the play; but in performance there was not necessarily any clear separation between them. A similar five-part structure is also used in traditional Japanese Noh drama, particularly by Zeami Motokiyo. Zeami, in his work "Sand" (The Three Paths), originally described a five-part (five dan) Noh play as the ideal form. It begins slowly and auspiciously in the first part (jo), building up the drama and tension in the second, third, and fourth parts (ha), with the greatest climax in the third dan, and rapidly concluding with a return to peace and auspiciousness in the fifth dan (ky).[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeami_Motokiyo http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/lisbeth-salander-the-movies-have-n ever-had-a-heroine-quite-like-her keynotespeech in 2007 http://www.kunaicho.go.jp/e-okotoba/01/address/keynotespeech-2007e.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL No Play http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%83%BD%E5%89%A7 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL MLP - ISIS http://1000ya.isis.ne.jp/0118.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Life is a Bit Life's Beach http://society6.com/seasidespirit ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL FBI's report on Sony Hack FBI reports ties North Korea with Sony Hack.

"That said, Todenhfer's comments on the massacre of the Yazidis and displacement of hundreds of thousands in Mosul have been routinely ignored by Isis supporters," Mr Winter said. "The facts are being cherry-picked to give a very narrow view of the situation that Todenhfer was met with in Syria and Iraq." Todenhfer plans to use his first-hand experience of Isis in a book he is writing about the group. He says on Facebook that he has always "spoken to both sides" in his 50 years reporting from war zones, including interviews with Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and al-Qaeda, with Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai and with leaders of the Taliban. In his view, Isis will soon come to the West to negotiate a level of co-existence.

"This is just a financial reporting change and does not materially impact NJ's fiscal position," said Treasury spokesman Christopher Santarelli. Instead, the new numbers offer a starker outlook for the state's existing financial woes. Here's a full breakdown of the Treasury's fiscal figures for its retirement system: NJ has $82.7 billion in unfunded liability for the pension plan of state workers - up from the $37.2 billion shortfall reported last year. The deficit in pensions for local government employees stands at $20.7 billion, compared to $13.7 b in 2013. The state is responsible for $53 b in unfunded health benefits for retirees. In addition, local governments are on the hook for $13.8 b to cover post-employment benefits of their workers. The updated numbers were released as part of revelations to investors for the state's bond offering to raise money for its Transportation Trust Fund. "The state's new disclosures underscore the significant pension funding challenges that NJ faces, " stated a Dec. 2 Moody's Investors Service report. Gov. Chris C has proclaimed solving the state's pension dilemma as one of the priorities for his second term. "This is the goal I will dedicate myself to in the remaining years of my governorship." Christie promised in this year's budget address. In August, Christie appointed a nonpartisan Pension and Health Benefit Study Commission to propose reforms. The panel has yet to offer any recommendations. watchdog.org is funded by the non-profit Franklin Center for Public Integrity and Government. The report was filed on Dec. 5 2013. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Enemies sons are always enemeis sons. $ daughters are different.

Now the British publisher Bloodaxe Books has issued Bedouin of the London Evening, a slim collection that features all of Tonks's published poetry, selections of her prose, and an introduction by Bloodaxe publisher Neil Astley, who has become her champion. Though Tonks has been frequently anthologized, much of her poetry has not been available since the 1970s; all her books fell out of print. The poet that emerges in the pages of the new collection is somehow aloof and fragile, tough and sensual. And her long self-exile casts her writing in an almost eerie light.

Mao then had to get rid of the overbearing power of Moscow - which sent money that was vital for the sheer survival of the beleaguered party - and the 28 Moscow-trained Chinese "Bolsheviks" to take full control of the party. Mao wanted to keep the money, get rid of the 28 Bolsheviks, take over the party, and open up to Chinese liberal intellectuals, who were growing hesitant in their support for the more and more conservative Nationalists (KMT). Last but not least, Mao wanted to keep his options open with the United States, which was growing disaffected with the ever more corrupt KMT. To achieve his multi-pronged objectives, Mao had to establish a "cultural hegemony" (the term comes from Italian Communist Party chief Gramsci, who had independently developed the theory in the 1930s) over the party and the country. He then did that by affirming the principle of "Chinese characteristics" (zhongguo tese). The idea, in very simplified terms, was that practical conditions in China could override ideological concerns. Therefore, a concrete accurate reading of reality on the ground - rural China, which Mao understood better than his urban-educated comrades - was to be the standard by which to gauge results and policies. Almost by definition, the 28 Moscow-trained comrades, fully acquainted with the USSR but out of touch with rustic China, were out of the game. This time Xi is using different standards: not Chinese characteristics but the rule of law (yi fa zhi guo). He had plenty of reasons to relentlessly campaign for a new rule of law in a situation in which party officials and their clients pulled strings right and left, pushing laws and regulations aside at their convenience and shaping state institutions to fit their desires. This was objectively driving China into the Soviet trap of the Brezhnev era, in the 1970s, when powerful industries (in the case of China, the State-Owned Enterprises, or SOEs) were carving up the state, corrupting it, and making the country a hollow shell moved by the interests of a few oligarchs. Private enterprises, the dynamos of growth since the late 1970s, were being pushed aside by all-encompassing SOEs, keen on devouring all competition - at the cost of making the overall economy less efficient and slowing down China's development. The idea of rule of law has brought back the standard of efficiency and development - and it has placed in a new light even the concept of Chinese characteristics, something that was invoked right and left to justify particular behaviors, which in fact were not-so-special corrupt practices. The consequences of the new rule of law are multifold. Now, it is almost like a magic wand in Xi's hands, but it has compulsory consequences. If the rule of law is to be applied, then the people who brought the country to the brink of collapse - and are incidentally enemies to Xi - have to be eliminated, in accordance to the new laws of the country. Zhou and his cohorts are to be publicly tried; not to be made into examples, but to show the people inside China - and also outside, since the country is growing in stature in the world - the new system and to firmly cement the principle that will rule China in the future. In fact, it will take years and a great amount of dexterity and wisdom to fully apply the principle of the rule of law in a country accustomed for decades to the naked exercise of power. The same was true with Mao's pragmatic "Chinese characteristics". They had to cut through decades of very ideological divisions and a dogmatic nationalism that had become grafted into a defense of the imperial system, all of which defended the status quo and old vested interests against the need for deep and dramatic modifications. The rebuilding and reshaping of the party in the early and mid-1940s, the victory in the civil war in the late 1940s, and then the early years of communist power in the 1950s saw a massive effort to root out (sometimes dramatically) old habits and vested interests. The next years might witness a similar push, although this time the effort could be limited to within the party and not extended to the whole society. In fact, this time Chinese society and Chinese private enterprises have mostly enthusiastically embraced change and reforms that although launched and guided by the party, were also opposed by some sectors of the party. Yet, once standards are set, they live their own lives independent of the people who shaped them in the first place. The need to face practical results and realities came back to bite Mao in the case of the Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s. Mao's friends and supporters went to him saying that his wonderful idea of fast development through people's mobilization was not working; it was making people starve to death, not wealthier. Mao's first response to these criticisms could not be to deny the theory of checking the reality on the ground (the ideological backbone of his power) but had to be to deny the truthfulness of the messengers in order to deny the message. When the message became totally undeniable, he had to relinquish power in the early 1960s. He did so grudgingly, suspecting dishonesty and disloyalty and thus unleashing the Cultural Revolution on his former friends in the mid-1960s. The movement denied any practicality of the Chinese characteristics and moved China into a new theoretical realm, with little or no touch with reality. Mao then did establish a new cultural hegemony, but this time it was based only on his crude use of power and cruel abuse of human emotions and not on actual needs and necessities - and therefore, it failed miserably after a short spell. Deng's return to power and his focus on "Chinese characteristics" was a political and ideological statement of return to the original 1942 Maoism and against the later, crazy Maoism of the Cultural Revolution. He did that by forcing Mao's former pragmatism even further and stressing the paramount necessity of looking at results ("it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as he catches mice", as Deng's saying went) and not empty dogmatic principles. Now Xi's theory of the rule of law similarly is a dramatic effort that uses Mao's spirit of 1942, absorbing it and going well beyond Mao. Xi wants to establish a new logic, a new theology that goes beyond the party-building theories that have dominated since that year's conference. It is a gigantic effort to infuse new and different life into the party. However, as the Chinese principle of yin and yang teaches, nothing is all black or all white: the rule of law's genie, when out of the bottle (like the former call to pragmatic reality checks), has its own life and logic. Xi will have to try to guide the application of this theory with calm and wisdom, but if one day he tries to go against its logic for whatever reason, he might face challenges similar to those Mao met when the Great Leap Forward was failing. Of this, apparently, he is personally aware, subjecting himself to the same rules he asks of his fellow comrades. Most importantly this could have momentous consequences for the future of China as practical checks and the rule of law may in time demand dramatic changes in the internal political structure.

Weinberg was hit hard by the Madoff affair, which wiped out her life savings of $1.3 million in late 2008. "I'd never heard of Bernard Madoff until all this happened," Weinberg said. She had invested her money with financial manager Stanley Chais who, it turned out, ran one of Madoff's feeder funds. "It was the one time in my life since my husband died when I was glad he wasn't here to see something," she said. After losing her savings in the Madoff affair, Weinberg began collecting a state pension. Yet in 2011 she criticized Christie for allowing political allies to draw pensions while still serving in government, an accusation that Christie called hypocritical. Christie condemned Weinberg for "hiding behind Madoff" in order to draw her own pension, and urged reporters to "take the bat out on her for once." That comment drew condemnation from Weinberg, Democratic lawmakers and Weinberg's 7-year-old granddaughter, who wrote to the governor, asking him to "stop bulieg eevribati!" ("stop bullying everybody"). Christie said his "bat" remark was taken completely out of context. Weinberg was devastated by the comment. "That was the only time I ever really saw her get upset about any of it," her daughter said. "She cried. She got very mad, because she's never hidden behind what happened with Bernie Madoff, and she never will."

In accordance with the provisions of New Jersey's Anti-Bullying Bill of rights Act and The Ewing Board of Education Policy 5512 - Harassment, Intimidation and Bully, it has been reported to me that your child, may have committed an act of harassment, intimidation or bullying. A written report was submitted to me and the allegations will be investigated by our school's Anti-bullying Specialist, Kevin Bonner. This investigation will be completed no later than ten school days from the date of the written report. I ASK MY SON WHAT THIS IS ABOUT? HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING HAPPENED AT ONE OF HIS FRIENDS' HALLOWEEN PARTY AND HE WASN'T EVEN THERE SINCE I GROUNDED HIM FOR THE OTHER ROUGH-ABOUT INCIDENT AT THE CAFETERIA. One of his classmates was being teased as 'being gay'. 'The Board's decision may be appealed to the commissioner of Education, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:3. Controversies and Disputes, no later than ninety days after issuance of the Board of Education's decision. A parent, pupil, legal guardian or organization may file a complaint with the Division on Civil Rights within one hundred eighty days of the occurrence of any incident of harassment, intimidation, or bullying based on membership in a protected group as enumerated in the "Law Against Discrimination'.

We implore you to confirm these facts to your leaders, and to do your utmost to stop the destruction and waste of life which can only result in the total annihilation of all your cities if continued. As scientists, we deplore the use to which a beautiful discovery has been put, but we can assure you that unless surrenders at once, this rain of atomic bombs will increase in fury.

In its solidity and stability the earth is inscribable, we can build upon its ground, while the sea offers no such foothold for human worldhood. No doubt that is why the sea, in its hostility to architecturally or textually imprinted memory, often figures as the imaginary agent of ultimate obliteration." --Robert P. Harrison, The Dominion of the Dead, pg. 4 The broadest possible thesis statement of Robert Pogue Harrison's Dominion of the Dead would be this: we don't bury our dead in sacred ground; we sanctify the ground by burying our dead in it. All that we see as properly human springs from this consecrating of the ground with our dead. When I woke up this morning to the news of Osama bin Laden's death and quick burial at sea, Harrison was the first thing that came to mind. From a Harrisonian perspective, burying bin Laden at sea attempts to make three related statements about him, as far as American authorities are concerned. First, it removes him from the proper chain of human succession. A burial at sea prevents his family from burying him on land sacred to that family. "A U.S. official said that the burial decision was made after concluding that it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains," says an AP article.^1 The unnamed official didn't say "a family" willing to accept the remains. It was "a country." The family (of which there is a lot -- the bin Ladens are not a small clan) is erased without comment, now the body is further declared a corpe without a country. The body did not need to be buried at sea, so it has also been declared a body without a place in religious tradition. It may have been dropped into the waves with the proper prayers, but there can be no doubt that this disposal was not done in full accordance with the spirit of Islam. And finally, the only acknowledged Harrisonian reason to bury bin Laden at sea: "Prominent Egyptian Islamic analyst and lawyer Montasser el-Zayat said bin Laden's sea burial was designed to prevent his grave from becoming a shrine."^1 A grave is always a shrine, some more powerful than others. Burial at sea removes bin Laden from his contemporaries, but also it removes him from his descendants, whether related by blood or ideology. No one can go to a patch of ground, whether marked or unmarked, and think "there lie the bones of what once was a man." A corpse without a country, without ancestors or descendants. A corpse consigned to the sea, which belongs to everyone and no one. Burying bin Laden at sea was an effort to remove him, comprehensively, from the world. To obliterate him from the chain of succession of mankind. But if that effort succeeds, what does bin Laden become? "They don't want to see him become a symbol," said el-Zayat, "but he is already a symbol in people's hearts."^1 If he's no longer a dead man among other dead men, what is bin Laden but a symbol, now, forever? Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" reminds us that, as Harrison almost inadvertently points out, the sea is only the imaginary agent of ultimate obliteration: The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be! Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea. Nothing consigned to the sea is ever truly gone. WHO is HE ?

On her secluded 20-acre property, Emily Pels found what seemed to be the perfect refuge from a previous life 275 miles and 15 years away in New Jersey. When she took her two daughters and fled Warren County amid a custody dispute with her estranged husband a decade and a half ago -- likely with the assistance of a group that helps battered women, police say -- she was known as Michelle Kimble. The story of her life on the run reads like something out of a spy novel. Kimble took on an assumed identity, twice changed her name and lived in three states, the past 13 years in Vermont, authorities said. "It's an interesting odyssey," said her lawyer, Frank Whittlesey of Flemington. "And it worked for 15 years." The lies caught up to Michelle Kimble, aka Amy Huff, aka Emily Pels, on April Fool's Day. That's when police arrived shortly after sunrise at her rented home in this one-traffic-light southwestern Vermont town and arrested her as a fugitive from New Jersey, wanted on a 1993 grand jury indictment for interfering with custody. Kimble, 41, an advocate for domestic violence victims in Vermont for nine years, was released on $150,000 bail April 16 from the Warren County jail in White Township, the same town she fled in 1993. She is scheduled to return Friday to Superior Court in nearby Belvidere to face the interfering-with-custody charge that carries up to a five-year prison term. Ironically, her biggest legal ally could be the husband she left. Daniel Kimble, who now lives in the Poconos, does not want her behind bars, saying it would only punish his daughters. "My daughters are safe and grown. What more could a father ask for? Vengeance? Against a woman who loves her kids as much as I do? Not in this life," he said. Warren County Prosecutor Thomas S. Ferguson said he will take into account all aspects of the case, including the ex-husband's wishes that she not be jailed. A reporter's knock on Michelle Kimble's door in rural Vermont last month went unanswered, but she later provided a statement to The Star-Ledger, through her lawyer: "Fifteen years ago I chose to leave New Jersey with my two young daughters because I did not have faith in the system to protect them. I understand that there is a consequence for my actions and I am prepared to address whatever the consequences are in court. For me, the consequence of not taking the action that I took 15 years ago was far greater than what I must face today." ON THE RUN When Michelle Kimble took flight in spring of 1993, she left behind just about everything. "She left it like they disappeared," said Daniel Kimble, who at the time was seeking a greater share of custody. She changed her name twice -- once by using the birth certificate of a baby who died more than a quarter-century earlier in Alabama -- and got new names, birth dates and Social Security numbers for her daughters, authorities said. Daughter Andrea Josephine Kimble, 5 when she left New Jersey, became Bev Andrea Pels. Jeri Lynn Kimble, 4 when she left, became Elizabeth Lynn Pels. Michelle Kimble got the Social Security numbers after telling a tale about how she was a former runaway and drug abuser who lived on the streets, police said. Whittlesey assumed Michelle Kimble picked Minnesota, Maine and Vermont as places to go because she had no contacts there. "These are probably some of the last places anybody would have looked for her," he said. Soon, her tracks got cold. What would become a notorious missing-person case remained largely dormant -- until Detective Bill Tietjen, a New Jersey state trooper working in the Missing Persons Unit, came along and began an investigation in March. Michelle Pels (her maiden name) had grown up in Tietjen's hometown of Bloomsbury, Hunterdon County, and as a young boy he remembered her driving around in a little red car with her "Dorothy Hamill haircut." Using the powers of Patricia's Law, legislation enacted by the state in January, Tietjen went to the home of Colleen Pels Gardner, Michelle Kimble's sister, as well as the workplace of the missing woman's ex-husband, to collect DNA. Knowing Kimble's daughters were now adults, Tietjen said he asked Gardner to persuade her sister to return to Warren County to resolve the old indictment and show that the girls were safe. Gardner at first didn't respond, but a neighbor told Tietjen that Gardner had a sister in Vermont. Tietjen later found photos of Kimble and her youngest daughter, Elizabeth, on the Facebook page of Gardner's daughter. He determined from abbreviations on the website that Elizabeth Pels was a 2007 graduate of Mill River Union High School in North Clarendon, Vt. The school, which has 600 students in grades 7-12, also confirmed her sister, Bev, was a graduate. On April 1, Daniel Kimble got the news he had been waiting years to hear: His daughters were found. "It's just like having something that's never closed," said Daniel Kimble, 42, who runs a hunting supplies kiosk in a Stroudsburg, Pa., mall. "I've been 33 percent of a man for 15 years. It's like 15 years of being in a prison." Daniel Kimble said he missed his daughters and, although he has remarried and has four stepsons, he keeps in his car a photo of his daughters as young girls. He said he never doubted that his ex-wife was taking good care of them. "That's my one solace. I knew she would do anything for those kids," he said. "Looking back, should I have walked across the world to find my kids? I don't know. I didn't know what to do." 'YOUNG AND SCARED' Michelle Kimble told police last month that she left her ex-husband because he was abusive to her and at least one daughter. But Tietjen said she never filed a police report in Warren County. And Daniel Kimble called the claim "as ridiculous as it can be." He said his ex-wife's parents moved from Warren County to Montana right after she married, leaving her feeling isolated. Tietjen said police once were called to a library after a dispute between the Kimbles, but it was a minor argument over visitation. Daniel Kimble said he and his ex-wife were too young -- he was 21 and she was 20 -- when they married in 1987. He added that his ex-wife needed more than he could give her, and he needed more than she could give him. "I'm not trying to make it look like I had wings on my back," he said. "We were young and scared." Michelle Kimble returned to the Rutland County Women's Network in Vermont, where she works helping domestic violence victims. "I've handled some of the most bitterly contested custody battles," said Michelle Kimble's attorney. "But I've never seen a parent act with such conviction and go to such lengths to alter their entire life. Until somebody's actually in that position, it's hard to judge." In a statement made available to The Star-Ledger, Bev Pels, 20, said her mother provided food, clothing, shelter, security and stability, and that she and her younger sister grew up surrounded by people who loved them. She mentioned their successes in college and said she and her sister believed their mom left New Jersey in their best interests. "Our mother spent the last 15 years working to ensure that we were happy, well-adjusted and self-motivated," she said in the statement, also signed by 19-year-old Elizabeth. "She is a strong, courageous, self-sacrificing individual." While officials sort out the multiple identities and Social Security numbers, the driver's licenses of all three women were to be revoked, and the daughters' student loan applications also could be compromised, authorities said. The girls attend colleges in North Carolina and Michigan. "Both kids were essentially forced by their mother to live this falsehood, and now it's on federal applications," Tietjen said. The mother could still face record-tampering charges in Vermont, authorities said. Thomas Snyder, of Einhorn-Harris, a Denville attorney who specializes in family law, said a few years ago he represented a Morris County woman whose husband kept her from their two daughters in their native Nigeria. The father, Longy Anyanwu, spent just over 4 1/2 years in prison, a state record for defying a court order. After reading a summary of the Kimble case, Snyder said: "You cannot condone people becoming their own judge and jury ... regarding custody and parenting time." Snyder could not recall another local case in which a parent took a child for 15 years, and believes Michelle Kimble will have an uphill legal battle defending her decision. However, the runaway mom has supporters at her daughters' old high school, where she was regarded as a caring parent. "That mother did everything for them," said Mill River Union High School secretary Mary Bride. "You won't find a person in the whole state of Vermont to say a bad thing about her." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL 'disgrace' by J.

SYNOPSIS The Public Employment Relations Commission grants the request of the State of New Jersey (State Police) for a restraint of binding arbitration of a grievance filed by the State Troopers Fraternal Association of New Jersey (STFA) and the State Troopers Non-Commissioned Officers Association of New Jersey (NCOA). The grievance asserts the State violated the parties' collective negotiations agreement and past practice regarding promotional procedures when it removed several officers from acting assignments. The Commission holds that the grievance primarily concerns the substantive decision to reassign an employee, which is preeminently a policy decision. The Commission finds that the grievances did not invoke promotional provisions of the contract because there is no evidence in the record that promotional procedures were applied to the grievants. This synopsis is not part of the Commission decision. It has been prepared for the convenience of the reader. It has been neither reviewed nor approved by the Commission. P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 STATE OF NEW JERSEY BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION In the Matter of STATE OF NEW JERSEY (STATE POLICE), Petitioner, -and- Docket No. SN-2014-006 STATE TROOPERS FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY and STATE TROOPERS NON- COMMISSIONED OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY, Respondent. Appearances: For the Petitioner, John J. Hoffman, Acting Attorney General (Sally Ann Fields, Senior Deputy Attorney General) For the Respondent, Loccke, Correia, Limsky & Bukosky, attorneys (Marcia J. Tapia, of counsel) DECISION On August 2, 2013, the State of New Jersey (State Police) filed a scope of negotiations petition. The State seeks a restraint of binding arbitration of grievances filed by the State Troopers Fraternal Association of New Jersey (STFA) and State Troopers Non-Commissioned Officers Association of New Jersey (NCOA). The grievances assert that the State violated the parties' collective negotiations agreement (CNA) and past practice in its application of promotional procedures when it removed several officers from acting assignments. P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 2. The State has submitted briefs, exhibits, and the certification of Lieutenant Timothy Idland, the head of the New Jersey State Police Office of Labor Relations (certifying to the facts set forth in the "Statement of the Case" filed by the State). The STFA/NCOA submitted a brief, exhibits, and the certification of Christopher Burgos, STFA President. The STFA represents all New Jersey State Troopers holding Trooper and Detective titles. The STFA and State are parties to a CNA effective from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012. The NCOA represents all New Jersey State Troopers holding Sergeant titles. The NCOA and State are parties to a CNA effective from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012. The grievance procedures end in binding arbitration. Article XXII of the STFA's CNA and Article VIII of the NCOA's CNA are entitled "Out-of-Title Work". They provide, in part: "Out-of-title work assignments occur when a member is formally designated to occupy a position in an acting capacity which is structured at a higher rank in the then currently published staffing tables of the Division." It also provides: "Any decision to initiate or terminate any acting assignment shall be within the sole discretion of the Superintendent and shall not be subject to any grievance procedure." Article VIII of the STFA's CNA and Article XV of the NCOA's CNA are entitled "Promotions" and are nearly identical. Section A P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 3. provides: "Promotions to the rank of Sergeant First Class, Detective First Class and Lieutenant shall be made based on the application of relevant and reasonable criteria and subcriteria to be established by the Division as to each vacancy to be filled." The ensuing sections set forth procedures for announcing promotional criteria and vacancies and for compiling promotional lists. Article XXVII of the STFA's CNA and Article XX of the NCOA's CNA are entitled "Non-Discrimination." They provide that contractual provisions shall apply equally to all unit employees and that there shall be no illegal discrimination based on specified characteristics. Article XXVI of the STFA's CNA and Article XXIX of the NCOA's CNA are entitled "Complete Agreement." They provide that the agreement incorporates the parties' entire understanding on all negotiable issues, whether or not discussed. The grievants are five officers who had been serving in "Acting" assignments since 2009-2011. Four of the grievants are Troopers who served as Acting Sergeants, and one grievant is a Sergeant First Class who served as Acting Lieutenant. On February 5, 2013, the STFA/NCOA became aware that Division of State Police would be removing the grievants from their acting assignments. On February 8, Lieutenant Colonel Louis P. Klock, Deputy Superintendent of Administration of the State Police, P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 4. signed two personnel orders removing the grievants from their acting assignments effective February 9. Lieutenant Idland certified to the following: * Although the grievances refer to promotion procedures and the promotion article of the contract, the underlying actions being challenged are the removal of the grievants from acting assignments. * The most recent completed State Police promotional process began on November 16, 2011 and culminated with members being promoted on September 22, 2012. * Because the State Police has not completed a promotional process since September 2012, as of the February 2013 dates of the grievance, no promotional procedures have been applied to the grievants. STFA President Burgos certified to the following: * Each Trooper is ranked on a promotion eligibility list. * Both contracts provide that the highest ranked eligible shall be first promoted and that the exclusive basis for any promotion will be the ranking system. * The ranking system typically occurs annually. Interwoven with the contractual promotional process is an accompanying policy for placement and rank of any temporary promotion which is also tied to the highest ranked eligible. * The ranking system for permanent, provisional, and temporary appointments is off the same ranking list. It is long standing policy that if the Superintendent determines there is a need for a provisional or temporary appointment, the top ranked candidate has the right to that position. * There is a policy that the Trooper entitled to any temporary or acting position will be the candidate who then maintains the highest score on the final promotional eligibility list. * Because remaining on the promotional eligibility list and in the acting position are interchangeable, if you are removed from an acting assignment you are no longer eligible for promotion. P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 5. * The grievants were appointed to acting positions because they held the highest score on the promotional list. * In removing the grievants from their acting assignments, they have been removed "from the promotional eligibility list for reasons other than objective test scores although the lists apparently have remained unchanged." * The grievants have been "blacklisted" from their eligibility to either temporary or formal promotion even though they remain the highest ranked." * No reason was given for the removal of the grievants from their acting assignments, and they did not get prior notice or an opportunity to be heard. On February 6, 2013, the STFA filed four grievances for the STFA Troopers which stated the following: Grieve application of Promotion procedures AND REMOVAL FROM A/SGT for the above [Grievant] as arbitrary, capricious, and in violation of existing agreement, specifically Article VIII "Promotions", Article XXVI "Complete Agreement", and Article XXVII "Non- Discrimination." RELIEF SOUGHT: The uniform application of Promotion procedures, to include [Grievant] in the promotional eligibility process, and he be deemed qualified for promotion to Sergeant AND RE-INSTATED TO A/SGT. On February 25, the NCOA filed a grievance for the NCOA Sergeant which stated the following: Grieve application of promotion procedures and the removal from Acting Lieutenant for the above as arbitrary, capricious and in violation of existing agreement between the State and the NCO Association, specifically Article XV "Promotion", Article XX "Non- Discrimination" and Article XXIV "Complete Agreement." P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 6. Relief Sought: The uniform application of promotion procedures for [Grievant] to include grievant in promotional eligibility process and be deemed qualified for promotion to Lieutenant, reinstated to A/Lt. with all pay and allowances without interruption from February 8, 2013 to present. After the Superintendent of State Police denied expedited handling of the grievances, a June 18, 2013 arbitration decision ruled that the grievance warranted expedited treatment on the merits. On June 25, the Superintendent of State Police denied the grievances. The STFA/NCOA demanded arbitration of all five grievances, and this consolidated petition ensued. Our jurisdiction is narrow. Ridgefield Park Ed. Ass'n v. Ridgefield Park Bd. of Ed., 78 N.J. 144, 154 (1978), states: The Commission is addressing the abstract issue: is the subject matter in dispute within the scope of collective negotiations. Whether that subject is within the arbitration clause of the agreement, whether the facts are as alleged by the grievant, whether the contract provides a defense for the employer's alleged action, or even whether there is a valid arbitration clause in the agreement or any other question which might be raised is not to be determined by the Commission in a scope proceeding. Those are questions appropriate for determination by an arbitrator and/or the courts. Thus, we do not consider the merits of the grievance or any contractual defenses that the State may have. The scope of negotiations for police officers and firefighters is broader than for other public employees because N.J.S.A. 34:13A-16 provides for a permissive as well as a P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 7. mandatory category of negotiations. Paterson Police PBA No. 1 v. City of Paterson, 87 N.J. 78, 92-93 (1981). Because this dispute involves grievances, arbitration is permitted if the subject of the dispute is mandatorily or permissively negotiable. See Middletown Tp., P.E.R.C. No. 82-90, 8 NJPER 227 (13095 1982), aff = d NJPER Supp.2d 130 (111 App. Div. 1983). Thus, if we conclude that the STFA/NCOA's grievances are either mandatorily or permissively negotiable, then an arbitrator can determine whether the grievances should be sustained or dismissed. Paterson bars arbitration only if the agreement alleged is preempted or would substantially limit government's policy-making powers. No statute or regulation is asserted to preempt arbitration. The State asserts that the grievances involve the Superintendent's non-negotiable prerogative to reassign troopers. The STFA/NCO assert that the grievances involve promotional procedures because remaining on the promotional eligibility list and in the acting position are interchangeable, since if you are removed from an acting assignment you are no longer eligible for promotion. We find that the grievances primarily concern the substantive decision to reassign an employee which is preeminently a policy determination. State of New Jersey (Division of State Police), P.E.R.C. No. 2002-78, 28 NJPER 265 P.E.R.C. NO. 2014-80 8. (33102 2002); State of New Jersey (Division of State Police), P.E.R.C. No. 2000-60, 26 NJPER 97 (31039 2000). We do not find that these grievances clearly invoke the provisions in the CNAs relating to promotional procedures because there is no evidence in the record that promotional procedures have been applied to grievants. We therefore restrain arbitration. ORDER The request of the State of New Jersey for a restraint of binding arbitration is granted. BY ORDER OF THE COMMISSION Chair Hatfield, Commissioners Bonanni, Eskilson and Wall voted in favor of this decision. Commissioner Voos voted against this decision. Commissioner Jones recused himself. Commissioner Boudreau was not present. ISSUED: May 29, 2014 Trenton, New Jersey On 06/17/14 12:11 AM -------------------- Andy & Mike, I have a question for that classmate of yours in promotion unit, that S.B got to his position as ITB Bureau Chief, is it because he followed enough order above without exercising his own brain or he actually had some good character in him? I had sympathy for him as he told me many tales about himself. His mother was murdered. He had dealt with his own terminal illness etc. He stated that when he know for sure the promised land of entitlement to civil service is but a delusion, he'd let me know first. well, I guess in a way, by 'firing' me, he made his promise a good transaction in his own mind's eyes. I may have to sit his ass down in federal civil court before a juror for violating my constitutional rights for the long discriminary acts I endured from him. Yet I am concerned that his stench could leave bad odor on my fine reputation. But if I pardon him this third time, you guys need to know what a coward and fucking retard he could be. Mark my word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL in the case of Jodi http://www.state.nj.us/education/legal/teachnj/2013/jul/267-13.pdf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL holycow After reading this 74 pages of brief, burden of proof is aweful ... if I were our Jody, I would ask permission to the board to resign/retire and get on with my life.

Either the defendant, or a relative, has started a letter writing campaign -- all in Chinese -- to the judge. In the American system of law a non-lawyer is not supposed to write directly to the judge about a pending case -- those are called ex parte communications -- and all such letters are printed in the PACER files, including the envelopes in which they arrived. So here we have a flow of prose that the judge, presumably, cannot read being published at the judge's order, but without any translation, which I suppose makes sense. If they are not supposed to exist, why translate? Ms. Su's lawyer certainly has no motivation for wanting the letters translated; he wants them to go away.

The programs were in areas like nursing and teaching, and they required internships from the start of instruction. Mr. Brandenfels wondered if such "work mandatory" programs could apply to fields like computer science that are popular with foreign students interested in hands-on training. The answer, from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, which then oversaw student-visa issues, was yes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Barlyn case reversed by Appellate http://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/appellate-division-published/2014/a0779-1 3.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL re-search 'consent decree' http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/9/27/0018/34005 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Kenyon v.

Judiciary Moving 13,000 Mass Tort Cases to Bergen, Middlesex Mary Pat Gallagher, New Jersey Law Journal October 9, 2014 Atlantic County, home of New Jersey's largest mass tort docket with over 20,000 cases, will lose more than 13,000 of them over the next month or so when they are transferred to Bergen and Middlesex counties as part of a judiciary initiative to more evenly distribute the caseload. The six categories of cases slated to be moved include two types of pelvic mesh lawsuits and litigation over the bone-loss drug Fosamax. According to the judiciary, the reshuffling of so many mass tort cases is being done in an attempt to equalize the lopsided caseloads among the three counties where the state Supreme Court has centralized what it now refers to as multi-county litigation (MCL). Atlantic County Assignment Judge Julio Mendez notified Atlantic County MCL lawyers in September about the case transfers. Judiciary spokeswoman Winnie Comfort said the transfers would occur in late October or early November. She also said there would be an ongoing effort to keep the caseloads balanced among the three MCL counties and there was no plan to expand MCL beyond them. As of July 1, Atlantic County had 20,515 active pending MCL cases. In contrast, Bergen had 3,997 and Middlesex had 976, plus another 366 asbestos suits, which are counted separately and handled by a different judge. The reallocation will leave Atlantic County with only one category of MCL: Accutane's 7,377 cases, which are now being overseen by Superior Court Judge Nelson Johnson, who took over the county MCL docket as of Sept. 1, replacing Judge Carol Higbee, now on the Appellate Division. Atlantic had seven types of MCL, but five of them are being transferred and one, involving environmental claims against Bristol-Myers Squibb, has settled. By far the largest category of cases that will be shifted is pelvic mesh. There are currently over 8,600 cases in Atlantic County involving two brands of what is also known as transvaginal mesh, which is surgically implanted to treat dropped pelvic organs and urinary incontinence. The vast majority of the suits--more than 7,000 of them---involve the Gynecare mesh, made by Ethicon, a Somerville, N.J.-based company that is a division of New Brunswick, N.J.-based Johnson & Johnson. The other nearly 1,600 pelvic mesh suits were filed against CR Bard, of Murray Hill, N.J. Centralized in Atlantic since 2010, the pelvic mesh matters will be going to Bergen County, where Superior Court Judge Brian Martinotti is in charge of an MCL docket that already has litigation over several types of hip implants and the contraceptive drugs and devices NuvaRing, Mirena and Yaz/Yasmin Ocella, as well as other types of matters, according to the judiciary. In October 2008, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration sent health care practitioners a letter warning about "rare" complications associated with the use of pelvic mesh, based on over 1,000 reports of adverse effects it had received over a three-year period. The most frequently complained-of problems included infection, pain, urinary problems, and erosion of the surface of the vagina, with less common complaints of bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation during insertion. In 2011, the FDA updated the 2008 warning, saying that the complications were "not rare," based on 2,874 additional reports it received from 2008 through 2010. The first New Jersey case was filed in March 2008, before the FDA letter, and the numbers have grown at a markedly increased rate from year to year, to over 3,200 in 2013 and to more than 3,300 so far in 2014. The Gynecare suits against J&J predominate. There were 7,179 of them as of the end of September, as compared with 1,576 against CR Bard. An additional 60,000 federal suits against those manufacturers and others are centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. In a 2013 pelvic mesh trial in N.J., Linda Gross of South Dakota won $11.1 million in damages--$3.35 compensatory damages and $7.76 million punitive--on her claim that she underwent 18 surgeries to correct injuries caused by a Gynecare Prolift mesh implant. This past July, Higbee refused to grant a new trial or judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Gross' attorney was Adam Slater of Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman, whose Roseland, N.J., office is much closer to Bergen than Atlantic. The transfer would enable him to sleep in his own bed during the next trial, Slater said. But he was even happier about his expectation that the transfer to Bergen will allow pelvic mesh trials "to start to move forward again." Three trials scheduled to start in May, July and October of this year, including one of his cases, didn't happen because of Higbee's reassignment, Slater said. The first priority in Bergen will be to reschedule those trials, he added. Also headed to Bergen are almost 90 cases involving Stryker Trident hip implants, which are manufactured by Howmedica Osteonics Corporation, a Mahwah, N.J., corporation doing business as Stryker Orthopaedics. Plaintiffs complain that the implants, used in hip replacements, cause fractures, bone chipping, pain, squeaking and other problems. Bergen already has cases involving implants made by DePuy Orthopaedics, an Indiana corporation and J&J subsidiary, and Stryker's ASR implant, which was recalled in 2010. The move to Bergen thus further centralizes hip implant litigation, which will now all be in one county before the same judge. Heading to Middlesex are more than 3,000 Fosamax cases, about 680 cases involving Reglan--a heartburn medication made by Wyeth of Madison, N.J.--and more than 360 involving Levaquin, an antibiotic produced by Raritan, N.J.-based Ortho-McNeill, another J&J subsidiary. Middlesex has two mass tort judges: Anna Viscomi, who is assigned to asbestos cases, and Jessica Mayer who presides over everything else, including lawsuits regarding the human tissue graft product Alloderm; Propecia, used to treat male pattern baldness; and hormone replacement therapy, which was initially centralized in Atlantic in 2004 but was moved to Middlesex in 2006.

Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C.'. "After absolute power was defeated in England and America, it circled back from the continent through Germany, and especially through Prussia. There, what once had been the personal prerogative power of kings became the bureaucratic administrative power of the states. The Prussians were the leaders of this development in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 19th century they became the primary theorists of administrative power, and many of them celebrated its evasion of constitutional law and constitutional rights." This German theory would become the intellectual source of American administrative law. Thousands upon thousands of Americans studied administrative power in Germany, and what they learned there about administrative power became standard fare in American universities. At the same time, in the political sphere, American Progressives were becoming increasingly discontent with elected legislatures, and they increasingly embraced German theories of administration and defended the imposition of administrative law in America in terms of pragmatism and necessity. ... In this way, over the past 120 years, Americans have reestablished the very sort of power that the Constitution most centrally forbade. Administrative law is extra-legal in that it binds Americans not through law but through other mechanisms - not through statues but through regulations - and not through the decisions of courts but through other adjudications. It is supra-legal in that it requires judges to put aside their independent judgment and defer to administrative power as if it were above the law -- which our judges do far more systematically than even the worst of 17th century English judges. And it is consolidated in that it combines the three powers of government- legislative, executive, and judicial - in administrative agencies. ... As for procedural rights, the history is even more illuminating. Administrative adjudication evades almost all of the procedural rights guaranteed under the Constitution. It subjects Americans to adjudication without real judges, without juries, without grand juries, without full protection against self-incrimination, and so forth. Like the old prerogative courts, administrative courts substitute inquisitorial process for the due process of law - and that's not just an abstract accusation; much early administrative procedure appears to have been modelled on civilian-derived inquisitorial process. Administrative adjudication thus becomes an open avenue for evasion of the Bill of Rights. ... "In sum, the conventional understanding of administrative law is utterly mistaken.

That vocabulary in ''Ferdydurke'' is dominated by two basic terms, rendered, in Borchardt's translation, as ''the pupa'' and ''the mug.'' The first word especially suggests some of the problems faced by Gombrowicz's beleaguered translator. Borchardt notes that it means ''the buttocks, behind, bum, tush, rump.'' It does. But the intimately, humorously denigrating phrase, ''I'll give you in the pupa,'' is part of the linguistic routine in Polish in ways that its nearest English equivalent, ''I'll smack your behind,'' is not. Moreover, Gombrowicz, among his manic proliferation of pupas, sometimes slips into the diminutive and even more infantilizing ''pupcia.'' In her text, Borchardt has left ''pupa'' in the original, and this is probably as good a decision as any.

Oxford 1995) p32. { great stuff} p34. That is why the pre-eminent question of literary interpretation - what does this poem ( or novel or play) mean? - is properly answered not by a proposition ( "This poem means that war is hell' or 'This poem means that infant mortality is a national disgrace'), but by a refusal directly to answer it. Something must always be left over, unaccounted for, open to still another turn of the interpretive screw; were this not so, the work could be said to have engaged in totalizing - in telling ( or claiming to tell) the truth about the world once and for all - and thereby forfeited its right to be called 'literary'. To be sure, literary works are full of propositions of the kind one finds in philosophy or history ( 'This is so' or 'This is what happened'), but in a literary performance, either at the production end or at the reception end, propositions provide the materal, or 'stuff', on which the literary impulse - the impulse to probe ever deeper the incorrigible duplicity of assertion even as it presents itself as univocal and single - can be exercised. ( I hasten to say again that I am not here giving my own answer to the question 'What is literature?', but reporting on the answer most practitioners would today give if they were asked.) In so distinguishing the literary or literariness from the workings of philosophy and history respectively I may have reminded you of an earlier effort along the same lines. In his Defense of Poesy, Philip Sidney identifies philosophy with the giving of general precepts and opposes it to history, which offers us an undifferentiated mass of particular examples. It is the excellence of the poet, says Sidney, to do both 'for whatsoever the philsophyer says should be done, he gives a perfect picture of it by someone by whom he presupposes it was done, so as he couples the general notion with the particular example' ( Sir Philip Sidney's Defense of Poesy, ed. Lewis Soens, Lincoln, Nebr. 1970, 17). Like his modern counterpart, then Sidney puts poetry in a special category, but there is a crucial difference. whereas twentieth-century critics distinguish poetry from history and philosophy in order to sequester artistic production and reception from the contingencies of politics, Sidney locates poetry's distinctiveness in its superior ability to prosecute a moral/political task. In his account philosophy, history, and poetry are all in the same line of public work - telling and promulgating the truth; it is just taht poetry does it better, 'not only ...furnishing the mind with knowledge, but ...setting it forward to that which deserves to be c alled and accounted good', for 'it is not knowing, but doing must be the fruit' (23) By linking poetry so strongly to action, Sidney implicitly authorizes poets ( and literary people in general) to intervene in the realm of public affairs, where they might perform as advisers to princes, as ambassadors, as churchmen, as legislators, as diplomats, as the leaders of commercial and military expeditions, in short, in all the ways taken up by Sidney, Spenser, Raleigh, Donne, Marvell, and Milton. One should note that this expansive understanding of the arenas into which poets can intrude themselves has as its corollary a correspondingly expansive understanding of the dangers awaiting them in those arenas. Service to a king or a prelate, even if it is largely verbal, carries with it risks ( of dismissal, banishment, incarceration, death) from which the poet as Sidney conceives him cannot be insulated. In 1992 by contrast, insulation is assured ( who cares what poets do? ) but at the price of the wide entry and influence to which Sidney and his friends could resaonably aspire. to MDC in prison I'm buying this book for MDC in prison.

The wild bunch is an outlaw gang led by two grizzled veterans played to a career-turn by William Holden and Ernest Borgnine. One evening the two are sitting around discussing an old comrade who has gone over to the other side and now rides at the head of the band of railroad detectives pursuing them. The Borgnine character is incensed and can't understood why their old friend doesn't abandon the pursuit and come home to where he really belongs. You have to remember, the Holden character says, he gave his word to the railroad. So what? is the response; it's not giving your word that's important, it's who you give your word to. I read the scene as a profound and concise analysis of the great divide in political theory. On the one side is the man of principle for whom a formal contract must be kept irrespective of the moral status of the other party; when you give your word, you give your word and that's it. On the other side is the man who varies his obligations according to the moral worth of the persons he encounters; some people have a call on your integrity, others don't, and the important thing is to determine at every moment which is which. There is, I think, no doubt about which of these two visions is today the more generally approved. The Holden character speaks in the accents of Enlightenment liberalism; what he says is in accord with maxims many of us have long since internalized: "A man's word is his bond." "Ours is a government of laws, not men." "You can't justify the means by the end." Each of these maxims urges us to enter a perspective wider than that formed by our local affiliations and partisan goals; each gestures toward a morality more capacious than the morality of our tribe, or association, or profession, or religion; each invites us to inhabit what the legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin calls' the forum of principle," the forum in which our allegiances are not to persons or to wished-for outcomes but to abstract norms that neither respect not disrespect particular persons and are indifferent to outcomes. Not that there has never been a strong argument on the other side The Borgnine character is not alone in his sentiments and among those who would support him in the exchange ( although they would be an odd couple) is John Milton. Milton and his characters are always saying things like "You are not worthy to be convinced" ( the Lady to Comus in the mask of that name), or "You don't owe any loyalty to a king who is not acting like one" , or "Everyone should be allowed to speak and publish, except of course Catholics" ( Milton to the Parliament in the Areopagitica), When Satan describes himself to the angel Gabriel as a 'faithful leader' ( Paradise Lost IV, 933), the angel immediately replies, "Faithful to whom? To thy rebellious crew? /Army of fiends? Like the Borgnine character, Gabriel refuses a notion of fidelity that is indifferent as to its object; some are deserving of your faith, some others are not, and to maintain loyalty merely because you have once pledged it is to mistake an abstraction for an object of worship and to default on your responsibility first to determine what ( or who) is good and true and then to follow it. Let me say at the outset that I am with Borgnine and Milton and against an adherence to principle. The trouble with principle is, first, that it does not exist, and second, that nowadays many bad things are done in its name. On the surface, this is a paradox: how can something that doesn't exist have consequences? The answer is to be found in the claim made for principle, or at least for the kind of principle - usually called neutral principle - favored by liberal theorists. ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti John Luther I sampled episodes from John Luther season 3, last episode Luther had to make a choice between Alice & Mary.

Palmer, Daily Report June 23, 2014 A decision by the Georgia Supreme Court was a win for a plaintiff who claims she was falsely arrested--and also for those who guard the state treasury. That odd pairing of interests fits with the bizarre facts underlying the case. They concern a woman who sued campus police at Agnes Scott College in Decatur after she was arrested on claims that she assaulted a student there. The June 16 opinion by a unanimous Supreme Court reversed a ruling by a divided Court of Appeals that gave the officers at the private women's college the same sort of immunity afforded state police officers. Atlanta lawyer Lloyd Bell, who made the winning argument for the plaintiff, said it was the first case he knew of in which the Court of Appeals found that private employees of a private corporation were entitled to governmental immunity under the Georgia Tort Claims Act. "The Supreme Court reversed the decision and found that these private employee campus police are not government officials," said Bell. Bell said his goal was straightforward: "My client just wants to get her day in court." The state of Georgia generally is not aligned with plaintiffs in false arrest cases, but it filed an amicus brief siding with Bell's position in the Supreme Court. Attorney General Sam Olens' office declined to comment on the Supreme Court ruling, but his lawyers had argued in a brief that, under the Court of Appeals ruling, private employees certified under the state's police licensing law might expect the AG's office to represent them. Such defendants might also request the state to cover claims made against them, the AG's office argued. The suit was brought by Amanda Hartley, who was a student at the University of Tennessee when she was arrested based on accusations of sexual assault that were shown to be false. The allegations were made by Haley Maxwell, a student at Agnes Scott who had befriended Hartley on Facebook. In April 2009, Maxwell told Agnes Scott police that Hartley had been in Decatur and beaten and sexually assaulted her in her dormitory room, according to Justice David Nahmias' opinion for the Supreme Court, which recounted the plaintiff's claims. Agnes Scott police obtained warrants for Hartley's arrest and contacted the Knoxville police department, which arrested Hartley the following month. Agnes Scott police instigated extradition proceedings that resulted in Hartley being brought to the DeKalb County jail. She was held for more than three weeks, but DeKalb prosecutors dropped the case after an investigation showed Hartley was not in Georgia when the alleged attack happened, according to Nahmias' opinion. Then represented by Parks, Chesin & Walbert, Hartley in 2011 sued Agnes Scott and three campus police officers. The lawsuit included claims for false arrest, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. As recounted in Nahmias' opinion, the complaint contended that a reasonable investigation would have revealed that Maxwell's allegations were false: The sign-in logs at Maxwell's dorm indicated Hartley had never been there; no one who lived in the dorm could confirm that Hartley had ever been there; and several witnesses could verify that Hartley was in Knoxville at the time of the alleged attack in Decatur. According to Bell, the plaintiff has made a settlement demand of $10 million. Although the officers were employed privately by Agnes Scott, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the argument that the officers were entitled to immunity under the Georgia Tort Claims Act. They argued that a private employer cannot be vicariously liable for the actions of "special policemen" acting within their official duties. The Georgia Tort Claims Act prohibits lawsuits against any "state officer or employee" for a tort committed within the scope of his or her official duties or employment, providing that such a lawsuit is brought against the state government entity for which the officer or employee was acting. DeKalb State Court Judge Johnny Panos denied the motion to dismiss but was reversed by the state Court of Appeals. Judges Gary Andrews, Michael Boggs, William Ray II and Elizabeth Branch made the majority to reverse, with Ray writing that Agnes Scott police were acting in the service of the state and thus had immunity. Ray cited the state Campus Policeman Act, which gives campus police the same law enforcement powers as a local government police officer if the campus officer is certified pursuant to the state police licensing law. Ray's opinion--which Boggs did not join, even though he agreed with the result--also said Agnes Scott could not be liable because there was no allegation in the complaint that the college itself had directed the officers' actions in the Hartley matter. Joined by now-Chief Judge Herbert Phipps and Judge Sara Doyle, Judge M. Yvette Miller dissented as to the officers' immunity, noting the Georgia Tort Claims Act expressly excluded private entities from the definition of "state officer or employee." The Supreme Court agreed to review the portion of the appeals court ruling giving the officers immunity. At oral arguments in November, the court heard from Bell and Agnes Scott's lawyer, Laurie Webb Daniel of Holland & Knight, as well as Senior Assistant Attorney General Loretta Pinkston. In his opinion for the unanimous court, Nahmias said a view of the Georgia Tort Claims Act as a whole showed that the officers were not entitled to immunity under that law. Under that law, Nahmias wrote, the state government entity for which the state officer or employee was acting when he allegedly committed a tort is supposed to be sued, and certain steps, such as providing pre-suit notice to the state, must be taken by the plaintiff. The system set up by the Tort Claims Act cannot work if the person alleged to have committed the tort wasn't working for a state government entity, and Agnes Scott isn't such an entity, Nahmias said. Nahmias rejected the officers' argument that certification and general oversight of them by the state's police licensing body makes them state officers under the Georgia Tort Claims Act. County and municipal officers are subject to that certification and oversight, said Nahmias, but are not given immunity under the Tort Claims Act. Nahmias also noted that the state licenses dozens of professionals, from accountants to used car dealers. Nahmias said the court was not taking a position on the defendants' claim that they had official immunity under the state constitution, which he said was not ruled on by the trial court or the Court of Appeals. Daniel, who represents Agnes Scott and the campus officers, said the state's argument didn't have any basis, particularly in a case such as Hartley's, which brought the sort of claims for which the state has not waived its sovereign immunity. She also pointed to the potential consequences of not offering immunity to police on private campuses, as noted in Ray's Court of Appeals opinion, such as schools opting to not maintain a police force or officers feeling inhibited in their decision-making. "These officers face the same dangers and have the same responsibility to the public at large who are at or near these institutions as policemen at public universities," said Daniel, "and yet they don't have this protection." She added the defense was considering filing a motion for reconsideration. Bell, the plaintiff's lawyer, said he doesn't want to lose sight of what the case is really about. He said that although his client's record has been expunged, the incident has hurt Hartley's employment prospects. He said she was arrested during final exam time and expelled for failing her classes. He said she's now assistant teaching in North Carolina. Copyright 2014. ALM Media Properties, LLC.

E-mail: sun32@iu.edu Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are the two most common forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). IBD patients often posses abnormalities in adaptive immunity, particularly in CD4+ T helper (TH) cells, although evidence has suggested that different subsets of TH cells may be preferentially involved in the pathogenesis of UC and CD. Gerlach et al. have demonstrated in a recent paper that a subset of TH cells, interleukin-9 (IL-9)-producing TH9 cells, contributed specifically to the disease development in UC. The authors first found that both IL-9 message and IL-9-producing CD4+ cells were significantly up-regulated in the lamina propria of UC patients but not in those of CD patients or healthy subjects. Furthermore, UC patients had higher numbers of CD4+ cells expressing PU.1, a critical transcription factor for the development of TH9 cells and elevated IL-9 receptor expression on intestinal epithelial cells. To study the function of IL-9 in UC, the authors used a mouse oxazolone-induced colitis model and found that IL-9 was mainly produced by mucosal lymphocytes in this model. Importantly, IL-9-deficient mice or mice treated with an IL-9-neutralizing antibody had more greatly reduced colitis than their controls, suggesting that IL-9 is a key factor contributing to disease development in UC. Using a series of elegant in vivo and in vitro experiments, the authors went on to demonstrate that IL-9 promoted colitis through its effects on the amplification of mucosal inflammation and the regulation of intestinal barrier function. Strikingly, the authors also showed that IL-9 was of critical relevance in the settings of chronic intestinal diseases because the blockade of IL-9 function reduced disease severity in two mouse models of chronic colitis. These findings have identified IL-9 as a pathogenic factor in UC and thus have greatly improved our understanding on the molecular etiology of UC. It will be informative in the future to determine whether the levels of IL-9 or TH9 cells in UC patients positively correlate with their clinical scores in larger scale of clinical studies. Nevertheless, the results in this paper promise to open the door to new UC therapeutics targeting the IL-9 pathway. K.

Yi --> Weiqi --> The next major reference is by Mencius, a follower of Confucius. He gives two references. In one (Mencius, Book IV, B-30) it is linked with liubo and wine as an unfilial thing that leads to malnourishment of one's parents. In the other (Book VI, A-9), he gives this parable: "Now the art of go is but a minor art. Yet if one does not apply one's mind to it and bend one's will, one cannot master it. Go player Qiu is the best player in the land. Suppose he teaches two people to play, and one applies his mind and bends his will and listens to what Qiu has to say. The other, however, listens to him but his mind is on a swan he imagines is approaching and he wants to take up his bow and arrows and shoot it. Although he is studying with the first player, he will not be as good. Is this because he is not as intelligent? I say no." All these classical references are to yi. Admittedly none of them tells us what the game is, and we have to wait until Han times (206 BC - 220 AD) for detailed descriptions that confirm yi is go. But the weight of tradition cannot be ignored, for there is a continuum of references to yi between the Confucian era and Han times. Interestingly they often imply that it is a game of skill, and as will be shown below a rather high level had already been reached by Han times, and then beyond, although in the Han the term weiqi emerged. Yin Xi, for example, in the "Guan Yin Zi" [Book of Master Yin] of the late Zhou period (4th-3rd century BC) says: "Take the accomplishments of archery, chariot-driving, playing the zither, and go: in none of these is it possible to stop learning." Liu An's "Huai Nan Zi" [Book of the Prince of Huai Nan] (c. 140 BC) also says: "To play but one game of go [qi] is insufficient to know wisdom." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti virg http://www.kuro5hin.org/user/uid:23418 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti vintage post https://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/10/9/52750/9607 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti rusty should fix your broken ruby bot? that's a far stretch of friendship or fellowship or gayborhood, no? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti mumble caught ad bug he still owes me $10 or putting up my ad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti hey we can now band together to accomplish great things in our leisure time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti bombshell Among a dozen publications listed in this booklet that just arrived, i'm interested in checking out this one: NJ Condemnation Practice ( 3rd Ed. 2008) Edward D.

So I went to the department chairman to get permission to drop the second semester of this year-long course. He asked my reason and, never known for diplomatic skills, I said, "I am not learning anything." That was true in itself but for reasons the opposite of what I thought at the time. Becker was teaching, and teaching something important, but I just wasn't on the same wavelength. That became a continuing source of embarrassment to me over the years, after I belatedly grasped what he was trying to get across. This has been filed with a considerable list of decisions I later regretted in the course of a long life. The next time I encountered Gary Becker was a decade later, during the defense of my doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago.

Because of the Bible's first four words: "In the big inning." ( Sometimes mistranslated as "In the beginning ...") Baseball and believing came together for me after Carl's birth in 1980 when Peggy and I were looking for a church to attend. I asked myself the determinative theological question: which church has a priest whose brother covers the Red Sox for the Boston Globe? The answer was St. Andrew's, whose rector then was Ned Gammons, also a Red Sox diehard. I came for the baseball, but I remained for the preaching and practicing of the faith. Baseball and belief also come together in Notes on Baseball as a Road to God: Seeing Beyond the Game by John Sexton. Sexton is president of NYU and holds a Ph.D in History of American Religion. For years, he has taught an undergraduate seminar linking baseball and religion. ...The Christian message, wrapped up in a rawhide sphere rather than a nutshell, is that Joy turns Mudvilles into Meccas in God's good time. In this new liturgical season, I pray that Easter joy may come to every person who feels stuck in Mudville. Remember, with God all things are possible. Genesis doesn't really begin with "In the big inning." But the whole story of Creation may still be summed up in two words: "Play ball!" "Play ball!" := play dice? < Play 8ball?

Decision being attributed by him, as by Aquinas, to 'will', we arrive at the same axiom as dominates Suare's political and legal philosophy: it is will that moves man to action - in the political arena, the will of the superior; in the quasi-political arena of one's control over one's own faculties and limbs, one's own will. Aquinas, on the other hand, draws a distinction at this point. Between the decision, by which one settles, for oneself, what one is to do, and the physical or psychosomatic activity by which one actually executes one's own decision. Aquinas discerns by analysis a last component; he calls it imperium ('command', imperative). He attributes it to one's 'reason', and claims that what moves one to act is not, very strictly seaking, one's decision bu this imperium, this 'direction to oneself' Suarez protests: Aquinas's imperium is, he says, unnecessary and indeed impossible, 'certainly a fiction'. What, then, is the imperium, in Aquinas's analysis? It is an 'act of intelligence' by which one, so to speak, sets one's decided-upon course of action before oneself. Such an act of mind is necessary in order to guide, shape, direct the physical or psychosomatic activity which will carry one's intention into effect. So far, so good. But how can we say that this holding of the plan in one's mind's eye, however necessary it may be to the shaping of movement into 'an action', is what moves one to act? Certainly if, like Suarez both here and in the political context, we regard movement as the effect of a driving or pushing ofrce, we will be unable to accept Aquinas's claim about imperium. But Aquinas regards human movement not as the effect of a push ( whether from within or from an external agent, for example a superior), but rather as a person's response to the attraction of (something considered to be) good. So far Aquinas, the final component in any deliberation action, viz. the actual b odily or other exertions, is an active response to (a) the good of the end and (b) the appropriateness of the means, both (a) and (b) being summarily held before one's attention by a representation ( which could be expressed in propostions about what is-to-be or must be done) of the pattern of action which one has settled upon. This representation, the imperium, is to be attributed to one's reason rather than one's will, because it is representational ( of a series of relationships between particular ends and particular means) and because it in turn enables intelligible ( because intelligent) order to be brought into physical or psychosomatic exertions. from left to right and back is right Leaves wrong am I right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti my Chinese war expert believed had Bush make US taking the lead all the way through, instead of compromising and handing over US victorious bombing right after to the management of UN, Iraq wouldn't go down to a Hellhole like what it is now.

They had a common faith and a Godly vision. The Church grew rapidly even though they spoke different languages. Philip took the Gospel to the Samaritans (who were half Jew and half Gentile) but they could not receive the Spirit until Peter and John went down from Jerusalem to confirm that the Gospel was not just for Jews. Subsequently, God Poured out his Spirit on the Gentiles starting with Cornelius' House, much to the surprise of the circumcised believers. They were Baptized in the Spirit simply by hearing the message, before the disciples even had a chance to lay hands on them or Baptize them in water! Prior to this it had been against the Jewish Law to associate with a Gentile, but now, the Gentiles had the Spirit of God too!

In the film, one of his friends accused her of turning a trial into a Philosophy lesson to look down upon Jewish people. To which, she replied, 'you know I never loved any people, not just Jews. I only love my friends.' In her lecture, she told her students, 'To think, is the ability to act in morally uncompromised way'. Eichmann is incapable to think because he has surrendered all his 'personhood' to the Third Reich. That is the banality of Evil that Hannah write about in her book about that trial. Decency of manhood in our past time, is that one hold down a job and supports his family of their needs. Decency of personhood in our current time, is that one holds down a Ph.D and manages man and woman to do their job to support the State of this grand Union of Democracy. To 'protest' against such prevailing decency requires the ability to 'think' in two different language frameworks. That of Law and that of Religion. Where do we look for strength and courage that examplify Hannah Arendt's life and work? It wasn't that Heidegger made love to her young self. But she was sustained by her Darling Mary and assistant Lore, even more so than the original comment her husband planted in her thinking as far as the trial of Eichmann. Her friend, Hans, splitting from her friendship due to her stubborn way of thinking is also not quite a done deal yet, so I believe. Here's last but not the least block of rants. Emerson's rejection of historical Christianity and his understanding of reason as imagination and intuition combine to suggest self-reliance as the key to truth and the source of cosmic unity. The 'error of the religionists' -- their willful ignorance of 'the extent or the harmony or the depth of their moral nature,' their dependence on 'little, positive, verbal, formal versions of the moral laws' -- led them to so complete a reliance on authority that its absurdity was self-evident." ...But Emerson's appeal for self-trust was not a call to egotism or to an arrogant disregard of social forms, nor was it intended to give men license to do as they pleased. Potentially, it was far more subversive than any of these; actually, it could be seen as far less so, for the same interplay between self-abnegation and self-assertion that we saw in Hutchinson's doctrinal position informs Emerson's philosophy. Ultimately, the transcendent self, like theantinomian one, is no self at all, but God: "to reflect is to receive truth from God without any medium... A trust in yourself is the height, not of pride, but of piety, an unwillingness to learn of any but God himself. It will come only to he who feels that he is nothing.". Self-assertion is defined as the obliteration of self. Man at the moment when he sees himself and the universe most clearly -at the moment of 'grace' --sees himself no more. In fact, 'the object of the man, the aim of these moments, is to make daylight shine through him"; the individual who looks to himself for the truth loses all opacity, all form, and become thereby a perfect medium for the transmission of that light which is God. At moments of heightened awareness, 'from within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all'. Like Hutchinson and Edwards, Emerson saw that at the very instant a man discovers the true harmony of the universe, he is 'swallowed up in God.' a reporter at large http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1963/02/16/1963_02_16_040_TNY_CARDS_000271829 What would Hannah say about the trial of Aaron Swartz? and how come the smartest man in Boston Rob Langer wasn't asked opinion about it or has anyone thought of asking Rob about this troublemaker Aaron ? Heidegger told Hannah, 'thinking' isn't about knowledge. 'thinking' is a lonely business. Hannah developed her teacher's thought into saying ' thinking is the ability to act out without compromising one's principle. I thought about 'the art of protest'. I do believe Benjamin Franklin was a mastermind of that art. WEATHERMAN Although it was I who made the almanac, the Lord God made the weather. WIFE You can bear your own faults. Why not a fault in your wife? I know not which live more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives. Women who smart under the tyranny of a bad husband ought to be fixed in revolution principles. A house without a woman and firelight is like a body wihtout soul or spirit. A good wife and health is man's best wealth. He that must thrive must ask his wife. A man without a wife is but half a man. You cannot pluck roses without danger of thorns Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of horns. { being cuckolded}. WOMEN If knowledge and understanding had been useless additions to the sex, God Almighty would never have given them capacities, for He made nothing needless. When women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. The proof of gold is fire, the proof of woman gold: the proof of a man, a woman. Let the fair sex be assured that I shall always treat them in their affairs with the utmost decency and respect. BUT I DON'T THINK MR.

He did not care for the long discourses on predestination that usually emanated from the pulpit. He resumed his churchgoing when a young preacher named Samual Hemphill arrived from England. Hemphill, who was a welcome refreshment from the dour dogma usually heard, delivered lively homilies on the need for good works in daily life. When attendance increased, other, more conservative preachers in the presbytery began to examine closely Hemphill's sermons. They found that he had been lifting his discourses from a book of sermons published in London. At a hearing, Franklin came to the young preacher's defense. "I'd rather hear good sermons composed by others than the bad ones of the preacher before." Privately he confided, "Better a good plagiarist than a dull Calvinist." { and if only he could have used hand signs to quote before preaching and unquote after, I'm sure he'd be pardoned by His grace. } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti My write-up on the Sino-US conflict article by Luo Wei Nian _ http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=hts&oq=&hl=en-GB& amp;ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_en-GBCA425CA425&q=%E7%BD%97%E6%85%B0%E5%B9%B4%E F%BC%9A%E4%B8%AD%E7%BE%8E%E4%B9%8B%E6%88%98%E6%98%AF%E6%96%87%E5%8C%96%E4%B8%8E% E5%88%B6%E5%BA%A6%E4%B9%8B%E6%88%98#hl=en-GB&q=%E7%BD%97%E6%85%B0%E5%B9%B4%E F%BC%9A%E4%B8%AD%E7%BE%8E%E4%B9%8B%E6%88%98%E6%98%AF%E6%96%87%E5%8C%96%E4%B8%8E% E5%88%B6%E5%BA%A6%E4%B9%8B%E6%88%98 Luo Wei Nian: Sino-US conflict has always been a dialectical entanglement that advances world culture and religious beliefs.

"A group of scientists travel to a remote island to study the effects of nuclear weapons tests, only to get stranded when their airplane explodes. The team soon discovers that the island has been taken over by crabs that have mutated into enormous, intelligent monsters. To add to their problems, the island is slowly sinking into the ocean. Will any of them manage to escape?" http://archive.org/details/PhantasmagoriaTheater-AttackOfTheCrabMonsters1957848 Attack of the Crab Monsters Even from the beach I could sense it--- lack of welcome, lack of abiding life, like something in the air, a certain lack of sound. Yesterday there was a mountain out there. Now it's gone. And look at this radio, each tube neatly sliced in half. Blow the place up! That was my advice. But after the storm and the earthquake, after the tactic of the exploding plane and the strategy of the sinking boat, it looked like fate and I wanted to say, "Don't you see? So what if you're a famous biochemist! Lost with all hands is an old story." Sure, we're on the edge of an important breakthrough, everyone hearing voices, everyone falling into caves, and you're out wandering through the jungle in the middle of the night in your neglige. Yes, we're way out there on the edge of science, while the rest of the island continues to disappear until nothing's left except this cliff in the middle of the ocean, and you, in your bathing suit, crouched behind the scuba tanks. I'd like to tell you not to be afraid, but I've lost my voice. I'm not used to all these legs, these claws, these feelers. It's the old story, predictable as fallout---the re-arrangement of molecules. And everyone is surprised and no one understands why each man tries to kill the thing he loves, when the change comes over him. So now you know what I never found the time to say. Sweetheart, put down your flamethrower. You know I always loved you. silver lining in the solution Do you know that's how Barnes made his fortune so that new born or twice born won't have be diseased as well.

He also knew how to make that knowledge pay. As a 19-year-old Harvard sophomore, he earned $400 an hour as an expert witn= ess for the National Football League against unauthorized Web broadcasting. B= y his senior year, the American Civil Liberties Union enlisted him, at $300 a= n hour, to oppose the government=A1=AFs use of information filters in librar= ies. Now on the faculty of Harvard Business School, Edelman epitomizes a new bree= d of sleuths for hire, enforcing norms of online behavior. Edelman is A1=B0an astonishing scholar of the Internet,=A1=B1 said Alvin Ro th, a Nobel-prize winning economist, who was a mentor and colleague at Harva= rd Business School. A1=B0It=A1=AFs the Wild West out there, and Ben is the s heriff.A1=B1 Related: Investors Bet Against Stock in Harvard Professor=A1=AFs Blog Harvard Makes Professor Disclose More After Blinkx Slides Edelman, a 33-year-old associate professor, mixes scholarship, lucrative con sulting and a digital version of the 1960s-style activism of his family, inc= luding his aunt, Marian Wright Edelman, the civil-rights and children=A1=AFs= advocate. While he ferrets out misdeeds on the Internet, his multiple roles= have put his own work under scrutiny. A1=B0The Internet is what we make of it,=A1=B1 said Edelman, who arrived at his Ivy League office in jeans and sneakers this week after commuting by bi= cycle through Boston=A1=AFs snowy streets. A1=B0We can shape it through dil igence, by exposing the folks who are making it less good than it ought to b= e, like the neighborhood watch, or the busybody neighbor who yells at you wh= en you throw your cigarette butt on the street.A1=B1=20 Paid Crusades Unlike bloggers who have long formed a volunteer police force on the Interne t, Edelman embarks on paid crusades that raise questions about whether he ca= n remain objective in his academic roles as scholar and teacher. In a move that elevated his profile in the stock market and prompted a dispu= te about his financial disclosures, he published a blog on Jan. 28 that accu= sed Internet video and advertising purveyor Blinkx Plc of using hidden softw= are to inflate traffic counts. His posting caused Blinkx shares to fall the m= ost in the company=A1=AFs history. Blinkx responded to Edelman=A1=AFs broadside with a statement saying the com= pany A1=B0strongly refutes=A1=B1 his assertions and conclusions. Harvard pr essed Edelman to say more about his clients, prompting him to disclose that t= hey included two U.S. investors. Their names still aren=A1=AFt known. While taking on some giants, such as Google Inc. and Facebook Inc., Edelman h= as worked for others, including Microsoft Corp. Google has said that he=A1=AF= s biased and hasn=A1=AFt been forthright enough in disclosing that he=A1=AFs= a paid consultant to Microsoft. FTC Crackdown Edelman earns more from his outside activities than from his salary as a pro= fessor, which isn=A1=AFt unusual among business school faculty, he said. His= work has influenced the Federal Trade Commission and New York Attorney Gene= ral=A1=AFs Office, among other regulators, in their crackdown on companies. A1=B0He=A1=AFs part academic and part cyber sleuth,=A1=B1 said Ken Dreifach , former chief of the Internet bureau of the New York Attorney General=A1=AF= s Office, whose prosecutors tracked Edelman=A1=AFs blog posts as they filed c= ases against companies using malicious software. Edelman is expected to come up for tenure, academia=A1=AFs guarantee of job s= ecurity, at the end of 2015. While his credentials include a law degree and e= conomics doctorate, both from Harvard, his attacks on companies are unusual a= t the business school, an institution better known for case studies celebrat= ing successes. Critical Letter When he was considered for promotion to associate professor from assistant a= few years ago, Edelman said an outside reviewer contacted by the school wro= te a critical letter: A1=B0Ben seems not to like businesses. I thought this was a business school.A1=B1 He was promoted anyway. Edelman=A1=AFs outside consulting work has been encouraged by Harvard and is helping make the Internet a better place, said Brian Kenny, Harvard Busines= s School=A1=AFs chief marketing and communications officer. Since his Blinkx post, entitled A1=B0The Darker Side of Blinkx,=A1=B1 the s hares have declined 37 percent. After its initial statement reacting on Jan. 30, the company has declined to comment.=20 Edelman initially wrote that he prepared the research for an unnamed client. Harvard Business School said that disclosure wasn=A1=AFt enough under its c= onflict-of-interest rules, which require professors to disclose paid and unp= aid outside activities related to work available to the public. Harvard aske= d Edelman to say more. Revised Disclosure In his enhanced disclosure, Edelman said last week he was paid by two U.S. i= nvestors that jointly hired him. He didn=A1=AFt name them, say how much he w= as paid or whether they were betting against, or shorting, the stock. In interviews, Edelman said his contract prohibited him from disclosing that= information. Harvard is satisfied with his revised disclosure, Kenny said.20 Several investment firms either increased or established short positions in B= linkx before the blog was posted, according to European regulatory filings. Jeffrey Cohan, a portfolio manager at Ohanesian/Lecours Investment & Advisor= y Services in West Hartford, Connecticut, said Edelman should disclose the n= ames of the investors, whether they were shorting the stock and when. Cohan a= nd some of his clients own what he called A1=B0a small position=A1=B1 in Bl inkx. A1=B0If you don=A1=AFt disclose it, it certainly looks and smells like ther e=A1=AFs something more devious going on,A1=B1 Cohan said. =A1=B0Right now, as an investor, that=A1=AFs what bothers me.A1=B1 Outside Payments Any outside payments to scholars can tarnish their research, said Cary Nelso n, a former president of the American Association of University Professors. I= deally, professors would be paid only by their college, said Nelson, co-auth= or of an AAUP report on the influence of industry on academics, which is bei= ng released this year. If professors do take outside money, the names of clients and amounts paid s= hould be publicly disclosed, Nelson said. A1=B0Disclosure means the name of the company for whom you work and the amount of money you receive,A1=B1 sa id Nelson, an English professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Cham= paign. In a two-hour interview at his Harvard Business School office, Edelman ackno= wledged that his earlier disclosure was insufficient but said he has now rev= ealed enough. The school=A1=AFs requirement for public disclosure of outside= activities makes an exception for professors who have signed confidentialit= y agreements, he said. They should A1=B0provide as much information as perm issible,A1=B1 according to the policy. =A1=AEBridge Too Far=A1=AF =A1=B0I=A1=AFm not prepared to push all the way,=A1=B1 Edelman said. Investo rs A1=B0have to disclose how many shares they own, what position they have, what color are their socks and underwear. It=A1=AFs a bridge too far for me= . I view it as material they can keep confidential.A1=B1 As Edelman sees it, if he insisted on complete disclosure, no one would be l ikely to hire him, depriving the public of in-depth investment research. He d= oes insist clients allow him to make his finding public, so all investors ca= n benefit, he said. He doesn=A1=AFt take stock positions in companies that h= e writes about, he said. The controversy over who paid him shouldn=A1=AFt overshadow the quality of h= is work, he said. A1=B0People who read my article thought it was so good that they didn=A1=AF= t want to own shares in this company anymore,A1=B1 he said. =A1=B0It must b e that people were persuaded by my work and, at this point, the work should s= tand on its own merits.A1=B1 In his office, Edelman sat before four huge computer screens. Trim and inten se, he runs seven or eight miles a day and even has instructions on his webs= ite about how to jog around airports while traveling. Investor Calls About twice a month, Edelman talks by phone with investors looking for his i= nput about companies. He has charged $800 an hour, and doesn=A1=AFt ask whet= her they are betting for or against the company, he said. He said his main outside work, not done for Wall Street, is a kind of automa= ted fraud-detection service for advertisers. Edelman runs 150 computers 24 h= ours a day at 80 sites in nine countries. The computers look for malicious s= oftware, including the kind that makes his clients pay for inflated Web traf= fic. His system exposes such tricks as secretly bouncing a consumer around t= o multiple sites or showing them unsolicited pop-ups. Edelman has 30 or 40 clients, who pay him each time his computers generate r= eports for them -- about 1,000 times a year. Edelman won=A1=AFt disclose the= fee for each report. Fighting Malware One of his clients, Microsoft Corp.A1=AFs digital-crimes unit, says his tec hniques have helped the company combat malicious software and alert law enfo= rcement. A1=B0He=A1=AFs the Doogie Howser of online investigative work,=A1=B1 said M icrosoft=A1=AFs Richard Boscovich, referring to the fictional TV teenage phy= sician. Boscovich, a former federal prosecutor, is assistant general counsel= at the software company=A1=AFs digital-crimes unit. Edelman traces his entrepreneurial streak to middle school. He said that, at= 13, he wrote a program that helped clients choose the right components when= buying Gateway personal computers, whose online offerings came in a bewilde= ring array of configurations. He would have each device shipped to his house= , where he would show the clueless how to use it. His fee: $10 an hour. He raised his price in high school, charging $25 an hour to help a bookstore= and other businesses set up databases and websites. One of his key clients: Stand for Children, a nonprofit founded by his aunt, an advocate for presch ool and early education. Legal Family His uncle Peter, a law professor, was an assistant secretary of the Health a= nd Human Services Department in the Clinton administration before resigning t= o protest a law that required welfare recipients to work. His father, Daniel= , is a civil rights attorney specializing in employment discrimination; his m= other, Toby, is a lawyer who focuses on preventing abuse in nursing homes. A1=B0There=A1=AFs a spirit of righteous indignation=A1=B1 about Edelman, sa id Terence Ross, a partner at Crowell & Morning in Washington, who has hired= the professor as an expert witness. Edelman=A1=AFs valedictory high school address in 1998 urged classmates A1=B0 to embrace our technological future.A1=B1 Fascinated by the Microsoft antit rust trial, he snagged a summer job before attending Harvard at its Berkman C= enter for Internet and Society, which ultimately led to his work as the NFL a= nd ACLU expert witness. William Iverson, outside counsel for the NFL, said Edelman helped win a cour= t injunction stopping unauthorized Internet broadcasting of games just a wee= k before the Super Bowl. Whiz Kid Edelman=A1=AFs youth posed an unusual challenge for opposing counsel, Iverso= n said. A1=B0How do you attack a 19-year-old whiz kid without looking like a bully o r an idiot?A1=B1 he asked. At Harvard, Edelman graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, and wrote h is senior thesis on how Amazon.com Inc.A1=AFs recommendations affect book s ales. After earning his law degree and economics doctorate, he joined the bu= siness school faculty in 2007. He teaches a popular course called A1=B0The O nline Economy: Strategy and Entrepreneurship.A1=B1 Along with scholarly research on subjects such as the scarcity of Internet a ddresses, Edelman has thrown many darts at businesses, large and small.

It is also still owned and run by descendants of its founder, Charles Hall ( the Woodhouses married into the family in 1847). It has been brewing on the same iste, using water from the same wells, since 1900. ... The financial crisis changed all that. When in 2010 Hall & Woodhouse asked its main bank, the royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to renew its regular 50m pound line of credit, it got a nasty surprise. Hall & Woodhouse needed more reliable long-term creditors, so it reduced its bank borrowing and turned to a shadow bank. The one they picked was M&G ( the asset-management arm of Prudential, a big insurance firm), which offered them 20m pounds over ten years. ... The Financial Stability Board (FSB), a global financial watchdog, reckons that shadow lending in all its forms accounts for roughly a quarter of all financial assets, compared with about half in the banking system. but it excludes insurance and pension funds from its calculations; add those in, the shadow banking is almost on a par with the better-lit sort. ... The world's biggest asset manager, BlackRock, with about $4 trillion under management, is now considerably larger than the biggest bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, with assets of roughly $3 trillion.

But first Mr. Hartshorne has to provide a pilot episode. He and his partner initially financed the venture with 300,000 pounds of their own savings, but when money ran short he did the rounds of the British high-street banks to ask for a loan of 60,000 pounds. Despite his successful track record inthe industry and the steady stream of royalties he earns, they all turned him down. The junior loan officers he met were all befuddled by the proposal, yet the sum requested was not big enough to merit attention from the higher-ups. With Funding Circle, he was able to raise the money within three weeks. He will never bother applying for a loan from a bank again, he says. ... particular thanks are due to Gael de Boissard, Bob Jain and Venessa Neill, Credit Suisse; Charles Calomiris, Columbia Univ; Stephen Green, Standard Chartered; Paul Gurtler, Interlink Maritime; Allison Kellogg, McKinsey; Susan Lund, McKinsey Global Institute; Sherief Meleis and Rick Spitler, Novantas; Michael Poulos and Nick Studer, Oliver Wyman, richie Prager, Blackrock; andy Rothman, Matthews Asia; David soanes and Rob Baston, UBS; Larry Tabb, Tabb Group; Want Yi; and Morgen Zhao, HIT Marine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti if you've read 'Madam Bovary' you won't come up with your stupid polls. stupid is what stupid writes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti charles bovary, 'too late' at everything he's like THE prototype of K5 man ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti for all the girls you love http://www.coursera.org/course/chinesehumanities ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti coursera - catch up on post-modernity http://class.coursera.org/modernpostmodern-003/wiki/Syllabus top forum contributors: http://class.coursera.org/modernpostmodern-003/forum/reputation funny on that reputation board, no down votes. writing assignments #1: How did Kant define Enlightenment?

In 2012, Murch's translations of short stories by the Italian writer Curzio Malaparte were published as "The Bird that Swallowed its Cage" http://www.studioichioka.com/murchpage.html "Particle Fever" - Tom Browder interviewed http://hpr2.org/post/long-view-particle-fever-butts-beach-hawaii-annexation Lisa Shao Reprinted from the April 30, 2014, issue of U.S. 1 Newspaper Putting a Dramatic Touch on Asian Cuisine by Pat Tanner Lisa Shao An interviewer meeting Lisa Shao for the first time might expect that the conversation would center on the two area restaurants this 44-year-old West Windsor entrepreneur owns and runs. After all, Szechuan House in Hamilton, which she took over in 2010, remains a local favorite for its traditional fare of that Chinese province. Her newest venture -- the modern, fine-dining, Asian-fusion Peony Pavilion -- opened on Farber Road in West Windsor late in 2013, and has maintained an impressive rating on Yelp of between four and five stars (five being the top allotted). U.S. 1's E.E. Whiting termed Peony Pavilion "a great step forward in Asian fusion food in the Princeton area" (December 11, 2013). But what Shao really wants to talk about when we meet over lunch at Szechuan House is her passion for promoting (and participating in) Chinese cultural arts. These include both the fine and performing arts, and her devotion is prominently on display at Peony Pavilion, which she named after China's most famous opera. Throughout that restaurant hangs Shao's personal collection of 200-plus photos, paintings, and other artwork relating to that 16th-century opera and love story. Shao invested $2.5 million to renovate and redecorate the sprawling multi-room space that had for many years been the popular Chinese restaurant Sunny Garden. The made-over spaces seat about 200 and feature high-end elements that marry traditional Eastern and modern Western design. Ornate carved wood screens -- some of stylized peonies, some backlit with colored lights -- coexist with uber-trendy ash gray wood plank floors; a long, sleek sushi bar; cushy black leather chairs; roomy booths upholstered in modern beige floral; and tables set with black linens and contemporary white porcelain. All are offset by red pendant lights. The focal piece of a private meeting/party room is a strikingly modern 1,000-piece crystal chandelier (painstakingly assembled by Shao and her teenage daughter). The room also features state-of-the-art video and conferencing equipment. But to Shao, these dramatic changes merely serve as a backdrop to her impressive collection of opera wall art. Shao says she first became enamored of the Farber Road space in its Sunny Garden days. "Before it closed down," she says, "the owner came to see me at Szechuan House, and we talked about working together, going into a partnership there. Even then I loved the structure, the layout, the big windows." But a deal was never struck. After Sunny Garden closed and the property came on the market, Shao looked into it. "It was a good deal, and I realized I could have it my own way, incorporate my own ideas," she says. Shao closed on the deal in spring, 2013, and by the middle of November the new restaurant was in operation. "We didn't tear down any walls or change the footprint," she says. "What changed were the mood and the lighting. I wanted customers to feel that this was a totally new restaurant." Shao modeled Peony Pavilion's Asian fusion offerings on those she admired in New York restaurants. "During the period leading up to Peony, I often went to New York to eat, and I saw how popular Asian fusion -- Asian ingredients with French influence -- is there. I realized that such a restaurant must have good food, of course, but also a beautiful space and equally beautiful presentation." Shao said she didn't find any such restaurants in Princeton and concluded that she could draw in the area's many residents who commute to New York (and dine there), as well as the foodies who go into the city to dine on weekends. "The Princeton area has highly educated people who appreciate quality food and ambiance," she says. Peony Pavilion's menu is divided among sushi and sashimi, cooked Japanese dishes (tempura, teriyaki, rice, and noodle entrees), forays into other Asian cuisines (gyoza, pad Thai, and Szechuan lamb, for example), and French-inflected fusion dishes. Typical of this last -- and representative of the restaurant's big-city style -- is one of its most popular entrees: miso-glazed Chilean sea bass. It's served with cinnamon-scented Korean black rice and a mix of sauteed vegetables, such as bok choy, Brussels sprouts, and carrots. The plate is finished with swooshes of bright green herb oil and mahogany-colored hoisin reduction. In February, Peony Pavilion added weekend dim sum to the mix. In keeping with its fine-dining bent, selections here come artistically plated rather than on roving carts. Customers, Shao says, are starting to recognize that the space is "no longer a Chinese restaurant. We're getting regular customers. One person who came during our opening days is now here once a week, every week! During the holidays, we had lines out the door, despite the bad weather." Most gratifying to her is that the party rooms are really starting to take off. (In addition to the conference-ready room, one of the standalone dining rooms is suitable for private affairs.) "Last Saturday we had two parties," she says. "And growing lists of clients are beginning to realize that we have the best sushi in the area." Sushi is the provenance of master sushi chef Yoshi, who worked at Sakura of Japan in New York. Like almost everyone Lisa Shao brings into her endeavors -- even the interior designer who brought her ideas for Peony Pavilion to fruition -- she connected first with the chef's artistic side. "Yoshi is a violin player and sings as well. That's why he's so good at producing beautiful, artistic sushi," she says. It is also why he shines at omekase -- letting the sushi chef choose. Shao, who studied traditional Chinese dance from childhood through college and who still performs regularly, was particularly tickled when renowned Chinese violinist Chunyun Li dined at Peony Pavilion after a recent performance at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University campus. Lisa Shao was born in Szechuan province in China, the daughter of an engineer and a teacher, both now retired. Her only sibling, a homemaker who lives in North Carolina, was a schoolteacher in Singapore until she moved to the U.S. Lisa Shao met her husband, David Hu, at Sichuan University, where both earned bachelor's degrees in computer science, she in 1990. "After many years working in China," she says, "my husband got the opportunity to study for his master's degree at the University of Cincinnati." So the family, which by this time included baby daughter Lucy, came to the U.S. A year later Hu graduated and both he and Lisa found positions with Computer Associates in Cincinnati. "At the time, the computer industry was booming so I was able to get a job even before I had a master's," Shao says. Eventually the couple accepted a transfer to the company's branch on Long Island, and that's where their son Michael was born. Not long after, Shao returned to China for six months to earn a master's degree in marketing. In total, Shao worked at Computer Associates for more than five years, and her husband a few years beyond that. She remains grateful that the company underwrote her studies at Dowling College on Long Island, where she earned an MBA. "I worked during the day and took classes and studied nights and weekends," she says. The company's excellent onsite day-care facility helped make this possible as well. Yet all during this time, Shao longed to work in the art world. While studying for her master's in China, she become enamored of the silk embroidery artwork of Wenxia Gu, an acknowledged grand master whose rare double-sided work hangs in China's imperial palace museum. Shao visited the artist and decided she wanted to promote her work in the U.S. Through Shao's efforts, Wenxia Gu's embroideries were displayed at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta in 2005. By 2006, Shao had left Computer Associates, and Hu was transferred from Cincinnati to New York. She took a consulting job as IT project manager with Johnson & Johnson in Bridgewater, and the family moved to West Windsor. For a while Hu was the principal of the Huaxia Chinese School at Plainsboro. These days he is a team leader for the Happy Singers Chorus of Princeton, which will have its next performance of Chinese songs in Philadelphia in May. In addition to running two restaurants, Lisa Shao is a dancer with, and does promotion for, the Lanyun Dance Troupe of Plainsboro, which has performed at McCarter Theater and New Brunswick's State Theater. In the Shao-Hu home, the entire family enjoys singing. This includes son Michael, now a seventh grader at Grover Middle School, and daughter Lucy, a senior at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South who is headed to the University of Maryland to study business and marketing. Peony Pavilion is participating in this year's post prom party at her high school. When, after four or five years, Shao's consulting contract with J&J ended, her next move was acquiring Szechuan House and becoming a restaurateur. "I was already a customer and friends with the owner," she explains. "She has another restaurant too and told me she wanted to sell so she could spend more time with her family. So I thought, `Why not? I'm from Szechuan and the food here is good, it has a regular customer base, and the restaurant isn't far from my house.' I discussed it with my husband and we decided to go for it." Unlike what she would subsequently do with the old Sunny Garden, here Shao didn't make big changes to either the traditional Chinese-restaurant decor or the sprawling menu, which runs the gamut from American favorites like General Tso's chicken, moo shu pork, beef with broccoli, pepper steak, and kung pao shrimp to "chef's special" items such as whole fish with bean paste, Peking duck, and tea-smoked duck. There is an entire section of "Szechuan delicacies" that features spicy pork kidney, Szechuan pepper with pork intestine, duck tongue in "house special," and sea cucumber in home-style sauce. Shao's favorite dish at her Chinese restaurant is steamed dumplings in spicy chili vinaigrette. Shao laughs when she says how she is logging serious mileage driving between her restaurants every day, where she has full time staffs of 30 -- 20 at Peony and 10 at Szechuan House (which seats 170). Shao is a member of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce, which this August will hold its monthly Business After Business event at Peony Pavilion. She believes in giving back to the community. Earlier this year Peony Pavilion was one of several area restaurants to participate in the annual fundraising gala of the Princeton Education Foundation ("We were the only restaurant with two tables of food," she says). Earlier in April Shao organized a ballroom dance social at the West Windsor Arts Center and is planning additional events at that venue. "I really want to promote this beautiful space," she explains. Right now, though, she's mainly focusing her attention on Peony Pavilion. "I want to make sure it comes up to and maintains the level I'm after. I really want to bring Peony more recognition. There are no really notable fine-dining Asian restaurants in Princeton -- or even New Jersey! I feel that the Princeton community especially will appreciate it and recognize that our prices are really fair based on the quality." Shao also wants to get her hands on a liquor license, which Peony Pavilion lacks. Currently the restaurant sells wines from New Jersey's award-winning Alba Vineyards, and patrons are also welcome to bring their own. "But I want to have a restaurant with a full bar," Shao says. "You know, we have a big space at Peony and, in order to maintain the quality, operational costs are high. It helps if you have a liquor license, which serves to extend your prime dining hours. Take P.F. Chang's, for example. Their food cannot compare to ours, but they have a liquor license, and that makes a big difference." Guests, especially in a fine-dining venue, want to enjoy a cocktail and to linger over their meal. (Not to mention have access to a curated list of wines and sakes.) If she cannot find a liquor license for Peony, Shao will begin looking to purchase a third restaurant -- one that comes with one and is transferable. In the meantime, it comes as no surprise that plans are in the works for music nights at Peony Pavilion, and Shao is thinking of adding the occasional afternoon tea in conjunction with activities like flower arranging and lectures on Chinese art and culture.

The [Chinese] performer portrays incidents of utmost passion, but without his delivery becoming heated." [70] Brecht attended a Chinese opera performance and was introduced to the famous Chinese opera performer Mei LanFang in 1935.[71] However, Brecht was sure to distinguish between Epic and Chinese theatre. He recognized that the Chinese style was not a "transportable piece of technique," [72] and that Epic theatre sought to historicize and address social and political issues. h http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Korsch http://www.marxists.org/archive/korsch/1950/ten-theses.htm "Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men!

For Holmes, government was a reflection of power, and nothing more. ... For Holmes history was basically comic, with a happy end assured, whatever the difficulties and pratfalls its characters might encounter on the way. As he himself admitted to the philosophyer Morris R. Cohen, "I do in a sense sorship the inevitable." There is here spelled out the subordination of an independent moral sensibility to the brute force of history, which itself becomes moralized.

And, as the realiest quotation from Cardinal Bellarmine indicates, there may be a special connection between perception of an authoritative unwritten tradition and the need for a specific institutional authority that can articulate its claims, especially if one is fearful of the pluralism evoked by Scholem's understanding of tradition. To this day, after all, defense of the authority of the Catholic Church emphasizes the relative subordination of 'Scripture and the subsequent documents of the tradition' to 'a living magisterium that articulates universal Christian meanings.' Thomas Grey, in his review of some significant modern theological literature, aptly points out that many contemporary theologians reject 'the very distinction between one-source and two-source theories.' The reason for this partly lies in a rejection of what might be termed 'propositional' religion, that is, the view of God as revealing a 'collection of ...truths' that must be assented to ( or obeyed). Instead, says Grey, the modern trend is to emphasize 'encountering' God rather than the holding of congnitive belief about God.' Thus the Catholic theologian David Tracy rejects the notion that Christianity (or, for that matter, Judaism) is 'strictly a religion of the book. Like Judaism but unlike Islam, Christianity considers the scripture not the revelation itself but the original witness to the revelation." However important these 'witnessing texts' undoubtedly are, 'it is the revelatory event and not the witnessing texts that must play the central role n Christian self-understanding.' In addition, there is a geater emphasis on the basic inability of language to capture knoledge about God. For these Christian theologians, 'revelation is neither the written scripture not the oral traditions; but scripture and tradition are only human accounts of the true revelation, which is the 'Christ-even', the 'Word made flesh.' A Jew could as easily cite the recent theology of David Hartman, for example, who emphasizes the encounter between God and human beings as the central aspect of the 'living convenant' of Judaism. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti p29 It is vital to recognize, as robert cover so brilliantly argued, that one of the central tasks of those who purport to have final authority to establish the content of hte law, such as the Supreme Court, is not so much to 'make' law as to 'kill it." That is, 'confronting the luxuriant growth of a hundred legal traditions,' all of which can draw on the authoritative materials of the culture, 'judges assert that this one is law and destroy or try to destory the rest.' There are, however, conflicting concepts of constituionalism paralleling the varied concepts of Christianity ( and other religions). One must first decide what 'the Constitution' is even prior to deciding what 'it' means. Does 'the Constitution' refer only to the specific text of the document written in 1787 and amended infrequently thereafter, or does it include as well a signficant unwritten component derived from implicit assumptions of American political traditions? Second, one must confront the separate question of instituional authority to interpret the Constitution. Is the Constituion institutionalized ( 'incarnated' as the 'Word made flesh') in the specific humans who fill judicial office? ... There is no logical connection between Constitution-identity and who is to be the authorized interpreter of the Constitution. It is therefore possible to generate four intellecturally plausible positions: (1) 'protestant-protestant' (2) 'protestant-catholic' (3) 'catholic-protestant' (4) 'catholic-catholic' It is my central argument that a significant number of constitutional debates can be organized under one or another of these four category. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti notebook I finished both reviews by Prof. Balkin on Prof. Levinson's 'Constitutional Faith' (1988) edition and 2nd edition (2011) http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/jbalkin/articles/idolatryandfaith1.pdf http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2198740 I am half-way through Prof. Levinson's book 1988 edition, I have not read 2011 edition, so my impression on Prof. Balkin's reviews are partial and inevitably opinionated at best.

Second edition, cover image sounded more like a 'dumb' down version to suit our more recent 'political' tastes from 1988 - 2011. I have this disbelief about Prof. Balkin's reviews. To me, it was like Prof. Levinson 'Constitutional Faith' was originally written in Hebrew and somehow only a translated copy in German was available at Yale so Prof. Balkin published his reviews in haste after reading Prof. Levinson's entire public and private thoughts in German with footnotes still in Hebrew. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti reminds me Deng's wisdom not to repeat mayhem of Mao's Cultural Revolution in 1989. also, just read about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Panama ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti you didn't do any stats on comments rating Did you?

Kant's logic creates a division and complex interplay of judgments- a priori and a posteriori judgments and analytic or synthetic judgments. A judgment is analytic if the subject of its proposition is contained within its predicate, i.e. "Sound theories are theories". To state the reverse would be a logical absurdity. The judgment is considered analytic because the truth of the proposition lies in the validity of the concept itself. All analytic judgments are a priori and thus, as is the case for all a priori judgments, they are independent of experience. However, judgments about empirical knowledge can only be made upon experience, are synthetic, a posteriori, and can be reversed without such a contradiction, i.e. "The theory is sound". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Cringe is right stupid is what stupid does http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/04/twitter-parody-account-holder-sought- in-police-raid/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti this present state of grace http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/floggingmolly/thispresentstateofgrace.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti you and MDC's prison cell Both are really WarpLife's 'MineHost'.

Chapter 5: Studies of Religious Disbelief and Affirmation "Ubi tres medici, duo athei" quoted from Medieval Ecclesiastics by Oliver Wendel Holmes.,M.D. The above quote, 'where there are thre doctors, two are atheists," is taken from Dr. Holmes' delightful and insightful Medical Essays. Holmes states that doctors must deal with things seen, not with the unseen as theologians do. This is a change from the colonial period when John Winthrop, Cotton Mather, Ann Hutchinson, and others combined the seen and the unseen and called it 'the angelic conjunction." Holmes continued "that the physician very commonly, if not very generally, denies and repudiates the duty of ecclesiastical commerce,' with its Dante-like inferno and Bunyaneque revenge. His conclusion stemmed from the Englightenment of the eighteenth century as it continued to affect physician of his day. Had Holmes dared to prophesy he might have indicated accurately that his own benign God, 'the great Healing Agent," would be broadly representative of physicians' views well into the twentieth century. People came to this country to escape religious and political persecution, so religious ideas have been an important concern and have affected all manner of men and women. Physicians have not escaped. The studies in this book encompass the involvement of physicians in some of America's vast social movements. One of these, of course, was religion. Summary This study makes the provocative claim that the social lives of physicians are dramatically intertwined with their practice of medicine. It illustrates through detailed examination of the lives of individual physicians how social orientations and social contexts shape medical practice. In doing so, it challenges the claim that advances in medical practice evolve ineluctably from the sequential uncovering of scientific facts. Instead, discoveries emerge from the social concerns of physicians and their immersion in community affairs. The book also demonstrates that physicians are frequently looked down on or even censured for their social involvements - punished, in effect, for the very activities that facilitated their great discoveries. The social Ideas of American Physicians explores the social orientations, views, and actions of American physicians from postevolutionary years to the revolutions of rising expectations that characterized social change in mid-twentieth century. It considers the doctors most often discussed in medical history volumes as a basis of selection. Of necessity it also deals with certain physicians who seem to have been pushed towards oblivion because of their association with black slavery, women's rights, the plight of the poor, pacifism, and other reform movements. Presented here is a documentation of these basic themes. This book examines the doctors most often chosen as examples who have been discussed in medical histories and volumes of The Dictionary of American Biography and The Dictionary of American Medical History Biography ( 1984), which undoubtedly eliminated many worthy physicians who were leaders in their communities but were recognized only for their medical skills. The social movements - the crusades -- if the last two hundred fifty years are the organizing themes of this study, thus several outstanding physicians, who many not be found in standard references, are included. Those who were criticized, for example, when they acted to cleanse the world of the dread disease of fascism included California physicians of the stature of Thomas Addis, who treated Bright's disease; Leo Eloessner, the noted chest surgeon; Milton Terris, editor of The Journal of Public Health Policy; and Edward Barsky of New York City, who offered his life to help Spanish people in their civil war. Some readers may be disturbed by the tendency of the author to associate quality medical practice with social concern and action. But Rjdolph Virchow, M.D., the noted German pathologist, insisted that 'medicine is a social science." Others who hold with Oliver Wendell Holmes, M.D. that the doctor as well as the tailor should 'stick to his last' may fear the apparent adulteration of responsible medical practice by involvment in social reform. Though this issue may remain a bone of contention of medical history, the discussions presented here give credit to many physicians who fought against social injustice as well as physical illness with the conviction that they served Hippocrates even better.

In its 'classical period ( say, between 1850 and 1950) this set of rules and principles was regarded as an instrument of commutative justice, indeed of corrective justice in Aristotle's sense.... But in recent times, in some places more than in others, this view of the function of the law has been challenged by another view which implicitly represents the proper function of the law about compensation for personal injuries as an essentially distributive one. ...But in the new view, the question is held to be 'How should the risks of common life be apportioned especially the risks of such essentially collaborative enterprises as travel and traffic by road?'. Injury to one of the participants is then treated as an incidental loss to be set against the gains which accrue to all who participate in this sphere of common life. The costs of this loss should then, as a matter of distributive justice, be shared amongst those who gain most from their part in the whole 'enterprise' and/or who are able to pay with least injury to their own interests or position in it; or should even be shared amongst all the participants. The question whether the injury was caused by any fault becomes substantially irrelevant. Mutual participation, bringing common gains, thus calls for mutual insurance. By the same token, the claims of the injured party for compensation, being now treated as incidents in a kind of common enterprise, are treated as claims upon the common resources; and all such claims must therefore be measured by reference not to the fault and ability to pay of any individual funds or ( if the scheme of compensation is funded wholly by the participants in that particular sphere of life) by reference to all the other claims, public and private, on the funds of participants. p183. Firstly, then, commutative justice may concern relations between ascertained individuals. .... ( Observe, from the two preceding observations about particular laws, that the relation between law and justice is not symmetrical; the existence of a certain legal regime, say of contract, may create legal duties which are also 'moral' duties in justice because of the other party's reliance upon performance according to that legal regime, but which would not be duties in justice under another reasonable legal regime; yet it does not follow that, where the law reasonably abstains from enforcing a duty in justice, that duty is cancelled in justice.) Again, if A perjures himself in litigation against B, he wrongs B in commutative justice; so, too, if he appeals against judgement, not in the belief that he has a good case in law or justice, but to delay satisfaction of the judgement debt. The reader will think of very many other instances. Having done so, it will be useful to reflect that adherence to these duties of commutative justice between one individual and another is an integral and indispensable aspect of respect and favour for the common good. How can a society be said to be well-off in which individuals do not respect each other's rights? Secondly, an individual may have a duty in commutative justice to many more or less ascertained individuals. One's duty of care in the modern law of tort embodies such a duty. Thirdly, an individual may have duties in commutative justice to many more or less unascertained individuals. An individual who abuses, exploits, or 'free-rides' on some system which is advantageous to himself and to others, knowing that his abuse may bring about the limitation or abandonment of the schme ( apres moi le deluge), is commutatively unjust to all those who might in future have enjoyed the benefits of the original scheme. Fourthly, an individual has duties in commutative justice to the governing authorities of his community. So perjury and contempt of court offend against commutative justice in this respect as well as others. The general duty of both officials and private citizens to conform to just ( and even, sometimes, to unjust) laws is a duty of commutative justice. Finally, persons holding public authority ( in the lax terminology of recent centuries, 'the State') owe duties of commutative justice to those subject to their authority. A scheme of taxation and social welfare may be distributively just; its lawful and regular administration is a matter of commutative justice owed to all those who have ascertainable rights, powers, immunities, or duties under it. p275 Sometimes, moreover, the values to be secured by the genuine Rule of Law and authentic constitutional government are best served by departing, temporarily but perhaps drastically, from the law and the constition. Since such occasions call for that awesome responsibility and most measured practical reasonableness which we call statesmanship, one should say nothing that might appear to be a 'key' to identifying the occasion or a 'guide' to aciting in it. Suffice it to make two observations, one practical, the other reflective. The practical corollary is the judicially recognized principle that a written constitution is not a suicide pact, and that its terms must be both restrained and amplified by the 'implicit' prohibitions and authorizations necessary to prevent its exploitation by those devoted to its overthrow. The reflective observation one may add here is that at this point in our analysis we have visibly returned to the basic principle with which we began authority, of which legal ruleship is one species, is the responsibility that accrues, as Fortescue said, ' by operation of the law of nature' -- i.e. for the sake of the standing needs of the good of persons in community - from the sheer fact of power, of opportunity to affect, for good, the common life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Hitler's table talk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler%27s_Table_Talk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti do you listen to 'Floggying Molly' If I ever leave this world alive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xql8CKE_9oI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti to give is human to ship high in transit is divine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti doing one's time "In the past year, prosecutors have several times offered Ms. Li a chance to go free, provided that she plead guilty in open court.

It documents and describes Christianity's creation-event, which occurred in the year 49 or 50, in Antioch (present-day Antakya, Turkey), 20 years after Jesus had been crucified in Jerusalem for sedition against Roman rule. At this event, Paul broke away from the Jewish sect that Jesus had begun, and he took with him the majority of this new Jewish sect's members; he convinced these people that Jesus had been a god, and that the way to win eternal salvation in heaven is to worship him as such. On this precise occasion, Paul explicitly introduced, for the first time anywhere, the duality of the previously unitary Jewish God, a duality consisting of the Father and the Son; and he implicitly introduced also the third element of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost. This book also explains and documents the tortuous 14-year-long conflict Paul had had with this sect's leader, Jesus's brother James, a conflict which caused Paul, in about the year 50, to perpetrate his coup d'tat against James, and to start his own new religion: Christianity. Then, this historical probe documents that the four canonical Gospel accounts of the words and actions of "Jesus" were written decades after Jesus, by followers of Paul, not by followers of Jesus; and that these writings placed into the mouth of "Jesus" the agenda of Paul. Paul thus became, via his followers, Christ's ventriloquist. A work such as this can be documented and produced only now, after the development (during the past 70 years) of modern legal/forensic methodology. Previously, the only available methods, which scholars have used, simply assumed the honesty-of-intent of all classical documents, especially of canonical religious ones, such as Paul's epistles, and the Four Gospels. Only now is it finally possible to penetrate deeper than that, to reach the writer's intent, and not merely his assertions, and to identify when this intent is to deceive instead of to inform. Whereas scholars have been able to discuss only the truth or falsity of particular canonical statements, it is now possible to discuss also the honesty or deceptiveness of individual statements. This opens up an unprecedented new research tool for historians, and CHRIST'S VENTRILOQUISTS is the first work to use these new methods to reconstruct, on this legal/forensic basis, not just how crimes took place, but how and why major historical events (criminal or not), such as the event that started Christianity, actually occurred. The author explains: "What I am doing in this work is to reconstruct from the New Testament the crucial events that produced it, without assuming whether what the NT says in any given passage is necessarily true or even honest. Instead of treating the NT as a work that `reports history,' the NT is treated as a work whose history is itself being investigated and reported. Its origin goes back to this coup d'tat that Paul perpetrated in Antioch in the year 49 or 50 against Jesus's brother James in Jerusalem, whom Jesus in Jerusalem had appointed in the year 30 as his successor to lead the Jewish sect that Jesus had started. The Gospel accounts of `Jesus' reflected Paul's coup d'tat - not actually Jesus, who would be appalled at the Christian concept of `Christ.' That concept was radically different from the Jewish concept of the messiah, and Paul knew this when he created it." Eric Zuesse is a winner of the Mencken Award for investigative reporting.

He was active in opposition to the Vietnam War, volunteering for the 1966 anti-war campaign of Robert Scheer (the subject of his book The Scheer Campaign). Lang later quit his position at Columbia in 1971 in protest over the university's treatment of anti-war protesters. Lang engaged in several efforts to challenge anyone he believed was spreading misinformation or misusing science or mathematics to further their own goals. He attacked the 1977 Survey of the American Professoriate, an opinion questionnaire that Seymour Martin Lipset and E. C. Ladd had sent to thousands of college professors in the United States, accusing it of containing numerous biased and loaded questions.[1] This led to a public and highly acrimonious conflict. In 1986, Lang mounted what the New York Times described as a "one-man challenge" against the nomination of political scientist Samuel P. Huntington to the National Academy of Sciences.[2] Lang described Huntington's research, in particular his use of mathematical equations to demonstrate that South Africa was a "satisfied society", as "pseudoscience", arguing that it gave "the illusion of science without any of its substance." Despite support for Huntington from the Academy's social and behavioral scientists, Lang's challenge was successful, and Huntington was twice rejected for Academy membership. Huntington's supporters argued that Lang's opposition was political rather than scientific in nature.[3] Lang kept his political correspondence and related documentation in extensive "files". He would send letters or publish articles, wait for responses, engage the writers in further correspondence, collect all these writings together and point out what he considered contradictions. He often mailed these files to people he considered important; some of them were also published in his books Challenges (ISBN 0-387-94861-9) and The File (ISBN 0-387-90607-X). His extensive file criticizing Nobel laureate David Baltimore was published in the journal Ethics and Behaviour in January 1993.[4] Lang fought the decision by Yale University to hire Daniel Kevles, a historian of science, because Lang disagreed with Kevles' analysis in The Baltimore Case. Lang's most controversial political stance was as an AIDS denialist; he maintained that the prevailing scientific consensus that HIV causes AIDS has not been backed up by reliable scientific research, yet for political and commercial reasons further research questioning the current point of view is suppressed. In public he was very outspoken about this point and a portion of Challenges is devoted to this issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Lang http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=968975 "13 ways look at Dred Scott" mlp Albert, Lincoln embodied a lot of what the North was about - more than one single idea (like ending slavery). The first way to consider Lincoln is to read his inaugural address - he said he had no legal means to end slavery in the South (which he did when he had a war going for him). If there was no war and he just said slavery was now illegal in the South what he did was destroy an awful lot of value there ... about 25% of families in the South owned slaves. if Lincoln had proposed to compensate them for their loss I don't think they would opt for the money but in any case they wound up losing that value. The key for Lincoln was that the South should pay the tariff that had just been raised by quite a lot. This import tariff fell largely on the South and Lincoln was a strong railroad man ... meaning in the pocket of the big money guys and manifest destiny ... go west young man go west. Howard Zinn was a Marxist and along with Oliver Stone's version of history (The Untold Story) are the most warped view you can get. Untruth abound ... total Marxist view or spin. The very big deal to Lincoln was the Intercontinental railroad. He did not wait for the war to be over. This railroad was started in 1863 and largely built by had and was finished in 1869. It made some very wealthy men really a lot wealthier. The fact that the eastern terminus was in the North rather than the south made a huge difference as to which area got wealthy too. The South had cheated Eli Whitney out of his royalties on the cotton gin so by going back north and inviting interchangeable parts manufacturing centered in the North. So the South got what was coming to them- crushed by cheating Whitney and their support of slavery. Consider if they had been honest, they had the money and if they would also have had the manufacturing so that the terminus for the railroad would have been in the South - a more logical location in the first place ... no need to deal with the high Sierras. Lincoln may well have been supportive of the South than the guy who destroyed it. Guys like Mark Hopkins (international mark hopkins hotel biz), James Bailey, Charles Crocker (later Crocker Bank was his deal) andLeland Standford (Stanford Univ is named for him) made a ton off the railroad and shafted Californians on the prices of good shipped over the railroad. These guys owned both parties in California which in turn caused a populist outrage - and the election of reform governor Hiram Johnson in 1910. And the adoption of the initiative and referendum process where people get to directly create the law ... in a referendum the legislature passes the idea over to the people and in the initiative process the people create their own laws by their own decisions. Of course a gay judge with multiple conflicts of interest can say the law is overturned (Prop 8 - one gay judge outvoted the people on the legality of gay marriage) but there is no reason to abide by his ruling. People just do. The result of Lincoln's support of the intercontinental railroad was massive corruption by the railroad owners when they controlled the laws to their own benefit which in turn gave us the initiative process. 26 states now have the initiative process and any one of them could decide to finance turning coal or natural gas into gasoline (Sasol is building a big plant on LA to do this right now). Thus the initiative process could be used by the people in any of these 26 states to defeat greenies, the EPA, OPEC (end the funding of terrorism) and most importantly defeat Marxist Matt Damon, a life long friend of Marxist Howard Zinn. http://jhaines6.wordpress.com/2013/11/22/matt-damon-reads-from-howard-zinns-spee ch-the-problem-is-ci... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Lincohn wouldn't find a solution What to do with all freed slaves?

I was raised in a modern Orthodox Jewish environment, spent many years in Israel, and earned a Ph.D. at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Professionally, I am a Jungian analyst (trained at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich in the late 1970s) and I direct the New York Center for Jungian Studies. Additionally, for over eighteen years, I was an adjunct faculty member at New York University and have lectured on various aspects of Jungian psychology at NYU, throughout the U.S. and internationally. Given my background and still active involvement in the Jewish world, writing about Jung and anti-Semitism is neither an easy nor a dispassionate task. I first discovered Carl Jung and Jungian thought through Dr. Rivkah Kluger, my first analyst, in Haifa. Jung had been one of Kluger's own psychoanalysts, and in addition to being a Jungian analyst herself, she was a noted scholar and student of Jewish studies and Near Eastern religion. (Two of her books, Psyche and Scripture and Satan and the Old Testament, deal with building bridges to the world of the Bible through the application of Jung's ideas.) Through Rivkah, a woman I loved dearly, I learned much about not only Jung's psychology but also about Jung the man. As someone who knew Jung well, she felt that there was no possible way he could be seen as an anti-Semite. My first indication that Jung's attitude toward Jews was an issue arose when I was awarded a postdoctoral grant by Hebrew University. Indicating that I intended to use it to study at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, I was put on notice that this was not acceptable. One of the committee members insisted that Jung had been not only anti-Semitic, but a Nazi -- and I soon learned that this was a widely held view. Nevertheless, I was able to convince the committee -- with the testimony of Rivkah, as well as Gershom Scholem, and Zwi Werblowsky, both of whom had also known Jung personally -- that Jung was not personally anti-Semitic, and I obtained the post-doctoral grant. Years later, after I had completed my studies, a photocopy of a secret document limiting Jewish membership in the Analytical Psychology Club -- composed of Jungian analysts in Zurich -- was given to me in confidence by a former member of the club. This and other factors compelled me to explore the disturbing question of Jung and anti-Semitism, and finally led me to organize an international conference at the New School for Social Research and edit two books on this topic. Carl Gustav Jung, M.D. (1875-1961) began his professional career at the Bergholzli Mental Hospital in Zurich, one of the leading psychiatric hospitals in Europe. He was encouraged by his mentor, Dr. Eugen Bleuler (best remembered for defining and introducing the terms "schizophrenia" and "depth psychology"), to read Freud's groundbreaking book, The Interpretation of Dreams. Shortly afterwards, Jung began a correspondence with Freud. This led to a strong bond for the next decade, punctuated by several powerful meetings and a joint trip to the U.S. in 1909, but then their relationship broke off in 1912. Jung's exposure to the field of depth psychology (psychology that takes into account the unconscious mind) came through his initial work in psychiatry, treating psychoses and working with institutionalized patients. During the course of his long and fruitful career, he developed many concepts unique to his own theories of psychoanalysis, including archetypes; the collective unconscious; the process of individuation; psychological types; synchronicity; shadow; animus and anima; and the importance of "complexes," and of symbols and myths in dreams. Although many in mainstream psychology portray Jung as a mystic and philosopher, we should remember that until their break, Jung was considered by Freud to be his "crown prince," his "heir apparent." At the time (the first decade of the 20th century) Jung was considered among the leading Freudians in the world. Indeed, one of the basic tenets of psychoanalytic training originated with Jung's suggestion to Freud that analysts should themselves undergo a "training analysis." In short, Freud looked to Jung not only as his successor but also as one who would lead the psychoanalytic movement into the future and ultimately validate Freud's own work. In a letter written by Freud to Jung, dated January 19th, 1909, he declared, "We are certainly getting ahead; if I am Moses, then you are Joshua and we will take possession of the promised land of psychiatry, which I shall only be able to glimpse from afar." The fact that Jung was not Jewish was important to Freud, who placed him in what Sanford Drob calls an "unenviable position" as Gentile guarantor that Freud's work would not be dismissed as "a Jewish national affair." In addition to being well placed in the field of mainstream psychiatry, Jung was the son of a Protestant pastor. He represented credibility and acceptance for Freud, as he acknowledged in a letter to Karl Abraham as early as 1908: ". . . you are closer to my intellectual constitution because of racial kinship," Freud wrote, while Jung "as a Christian and a pastor's son finds his way to me against great inner resistances. His association with us is the more valuable for that." However, many of Freud's primarily Jewish disciples resented his catapulting Jung into the leadership of this new, exciting movement. Here was this Gentile, a stranger (whom Freud referred to as "not like us") from Switzerland, being brought in and instantly promoted to "crown prince" of the movement. It is not difficult to understand that the members of Freud's inner circle resented and did not find it easy to relate to Jung personally. In turn, Jung felt alienated and snubbed, which fueled his need to break free of Freud the father. Following their break, Jung spent several years in withdrawal from professional activities and in deep contemplation. He referred to this period as the "dark night of his soul" with much of his inner turmoil revealed in his recently published Red Book. During this period, many of his ideas germinated. Ultimately he resurfaced and began to take his place in the wider world of psychoanalysis, though clearly disconnected from the mainstream, Freudian-dominated field. By 1933, well after Jung and Freud had ended their personal and professional relationship, and after the Nazis had risen to power in Germany, Jung accepted the presidency of the German General Medical Society for Psychotherapy. By then, along with Adler (in 1911) and Stekel (in 1912), Jung had been depicted as a traitor to the movement and marginalized by those close to Freud (including Ernest Jones, Sandor Ferenczi, Otto Rank, Karl Abraham, and Max Eitingon, all unofficial members of a "secret society" that had been proposed by Jones to protect Freud). The decision by Jung to accept the presidency of the Society gave wings to rumors and accusations that Jung was anti-Semitic, even a Nazi sympathizer -- yet throughout his life, Jung steadfastly insisted that by taking this honorary post, he had thought of his ability to be of help to many of his German Jewish colleagues. Indeed, Jung was responsible for having the Society renamed as the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy and for permitting Jews barred from the German national section to join as individual members. This seemingly small change to how the Society functioned was actually quite important, since up until that time one could be a member only through a local society -- which meant, under Nazi rule (Herman Gring's cousin Matthias was the head of the German Society), the banning of German Jewish members. Here the plot thickens, however, as in the December, 1933 issue of the Society's journal, the Zentralblatt, an editorial was published praising Nazi ideology and using Jung's theories of archetypal cultural patterns to justify the superiority of the Aryan race. Both Jung and C.A. Meier, Jung's assistant and chief editor of the journal, insisted that this editorial was inserted by Matthias Gring without Jung or Meier's permission. During the course of my research, I interviewed Dr. Meier and was informed that Jung was not involved in any of the details of the journal's publication, but had delegated those tasks to Meier. In hindsight, it is clear that Meier and Jung should have written a second editorial, in a subsequent issue, renouncing the first and disassociating the Society from its views -- or resigned their posts. However, in my interview, Meier made it clear that Jung thought it better simply to ignore the incident in order to avoid risking the breakup of the Society. According to Meier, who was closer to Jung than any other Jungian at that time, Jung believed that the Society, under his leadership, would be better able to protect some Jewish psychotherapists from Nazi persecution by including them in the reorganized International Society. Meier describes Jung's inaction as navet, and insists that one has to understand Jung in this light: Jung was nave . . . particularly when it came to political things. . . He was always looking for the healing aspect of any disturbing neurosis or psychosis or whatever it be, and he always tried to help the patient or cure the patient . . . and so, he accepted this German movement as a disease, as the collective disease which maybe even had a chance to do something good to the German Nation. . . . But of course, he was rather naive. . . But he still had a hope. Nevertheless, I cannot but wonder if Jung, feeling unappreciated by the psychoanalytical world, didn't also see his presidency of the Society as an opportunity to improve his status. It may well be that he was a victim of his own, in Jungian terms, "inflation," and believed he could easily handle Gring and the Nazi machine. Jung's various political activities in the 1930s were no doubt some combination of good will, the need for ego gratification, and political naivet on a large plane, as Meier acknowledges by telling us that perhaps in that particular time in his life, Jung . . . suffered from the impression that he was not sufficiently accepted -- his ideas were not sufficiently accepted in the world -- so he had a sort of, a kind of minority complex in that respect and when the Germans started to condemn Freud he had a hope that maybe now, Jungian ideas may have a better chance . . . no question but that was maybe sick. But it all comes from this idea that maybe something could come of it. In fact, Jung's difficult relationship with Jews and Judaism went beyond that one editorial. In 1934, Jung himself wrote an article, "The State of Psychotherapy Today," which discussed the differences between what he called the Jewish psychology and the German psychology. "The Jewish race as a whole," he wrote, . . . possesses an unconscious which can be compared with the `Aryan' only with reserve. Creative individuals apart, the average Jew is far too conscious and differentiated to go about pregnant with the tensions of unborn futures. The `Aryan' unconscious has a higher potential than the Jewish; that is both the advantage and the disadvantage of a youthfulness not yet fully weaned from barbarism. Much in this article offended his Jewish supporters, and other troubling writings followed during the 1930s. Nevertheless, while many Jewish Jungians were and are offended by Jung's insensitivity to the plight of Jews during that decade, and disappointed by his failure to speak out against anti-Semitism, they generally do not consider Jung anti-Semitic on a personal level -- especially given the many instances in which he helped Jewish people with money and other forms of support. Regarding the 1934 article, Jung would write later in his life to Dr. Sigmund Hurwitz -- a good friend and at one time Jung's dentist, who ultimately became a Jungian analyst -- that "I have written in my long life many books, and I have also written nonsense. Unfortunately, that [article] was nonsense." My own active involvement on the question of Jung and anti-Semitism was propelled when I was given a copy of a secret document from the archives of the Psychological Club of Zurich, which I made public (to the chagrin of many in the Jungian community). This club, originally organized and always strongly influenced by Jung, had adopted a 10 percent quota on Jewish membership (up to 25 percent were permitted to be "guests," i.e., attend lectures). In 1944, this policy was actually put into writing by C.A. Meier and two other signatories. I was deeply offended as a Jew and deeply disappointed as a Jungian by the fact that a psychological club, ostensibly dedicated to openness and exploration of the psyche, was relegating Jews to the role of outsiders and was capable of such prejudice. One must also understand that during this same period, and for years afterward, quotas limiting the number of Jews were enforced by leading universities in the United States. These U.S. quotas had been made public and condemned, however, while the claim of the Psychological Club, after the quota policy became known, was that it was the secret of the executive committee and unknown to members. This was clearly false: Several older Club members with whom I spoke acknowledged that there existed all along an unwritten understanding among members limiting Jewish participation -- a policy justified as a means of protecting Jung should the Nazis invade Switzerland. The quota, however, was put into writing in 1944, by which time the greatest danger of Nazi invasion had passed -- which casts doubt on the true intention of the quota. In evaluating Jung's attitudes towards Jews, one must consider the culture of anti-Semitism that was pervasive in Europe at the time. Jews were widely depicted as lacking spirituality and being materialistic by nature. This stereotype not only made open hostility towards Jews acceptable, but also gave it social respectability. The negative depiction of Jews was widespread and existed among all layers of European society. It crossed cultural and geographic boundaries, and it is not far-fetched to think that Jung held similar views at one time. Indeed, in Freud's History of the Psychoanalytic Movement, Freud notes that Jung "seemed to give up certain racial prejudices which he had previously permitted himself.' Possibly after his break with Freud, confronted with hostility from many Jewish Freudians, Jung's prejudices resurfaced. What has troubled me and many Jungians all along has been the absence of a clear, distinct public statement by Jung dealing with his actions and more questionable pronouncements during the 1930s. While he did disassociate himself from Nazism, and by the late 1930s was writing scathing and incisive articles interpreting the mass hysteria that had taken hold in Germany, even in later years he did not unequivocally express regrets regarding his own naive attitudes. Jung personally admitted to Rabbi Leo Baeck that he had "slipped up," but he never said anything that would lead us to believe that he had come to terms with his own "Jewish shadow" issue of earlier years. C.A. Meier told me that this was attributable to Jung's own personal "wooden-headed" stubbornness, which, on this and other issues that Jung knew he had handled badly, prevented him from admitting he was at fault. Whatever the cause, Jung did himself and the Jungian community -- including Jewish Jungians -- a huge disservice by not speaking or writing about the cloud surrounding his alleged anti-Semitism. Private statements, even to Jewish leaders, that he "slipped up" were not enough, and criticism of him in this context is deserved. Jung damaged his credibility and set back acceptance of his own magnificent contributions to the field of depth psychology by picking an inappropriate moment in history to discuss the Jewish psyche or, as he put it, "cultural form." The fact that many continue to denigrate these contributions, attributing and using the accusations of anti-Semitism as an excuse, is testament to the fact that the shadows still linger -- which, to my mind, is a disservice to the genuine contributions he made to the field of depth psychology. Aryeh Maidenbaum, Ph.D., co-director of the New York Center for Jungian Studies, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in New York City. He is the editor of Lingering Shadows: Jungians, Freudians, and Anti-Semitism (1991) and Jung and the Shadow of Anti-Semitism (2002), and was a contributing author to Current Theories of Psychoanalysis (Robert Langs, editor, 1998). He is currently working on a book, Judaism through a Jungian Lens.

Put together by the US Attorney General at that time, and also by all Attorney Generals of the States. The document fully explains the authority of the Federal Government within the States. Also tells what lands they have within the States up until that time. For the Federal Government to have exclusive authority the State must first cede the land to the Federal government and if it has not then the State also has concurrant authority so on so forth. GET a copy of this document off the internet and read it. Get copies to your sheriffs and to your Governor etc. Most times they really don't know what authority they have over the Federal Government. If the feds want to go into a State for some type of law enforcement on land of the State or within the State they must first get permission from the Sheriffs. They are the top law enforcers of the States. They can call up the State Militias for assistance as needed. Also the document gives court cases where the issues have been determined! happy hick says: April 12, 2014 at 12:27 pm Most public land was taken in the Appalachians during the Great Depression, largely open range of chestnuts to graze wild life cattle, pigs , mules, and other grazing animals. Families were displaced in mill type villages and it became various parks and national forest such as Cherokee, Chattahoochee, and so on. Farmers were forced to leave the chestnut range. Conveniently the chestnut blight came at the same time and the chestnut range was ruined. I have always wondered if the blight was introduced to help control the people. Poverty was intense maybe like post ww2 Russia. Logging tycoons Like Vanderbilt even pulled out. So if the feds decide to take watch out; they learned to take what they want during and after the War for southern independence. I commend the citizens of Nevada to exercise their rights, But I was disappointed that the local sherif did not make the BLM cease and desist. We had a smaller but similar problem when the Government shut down Happened Last early fall. Two armed guards from the Dept. of the Interior kept tourist from entering the parking lot of Pisgah Inn and no local sherifs made them leave and the Parkway is the border there for at least 3 counties. Call your congressional office in large numbers. South Carolina found a large Motherlode of gold north of Columbia and the US leased the mine to Canada. I don't understand business or the government. I do however like to make out first. I live there says: April 11, 2014 at 10:28 am I live in Moapa Valley he is telling the truth. I am a progressive democrat not a fox news watching crazy. The issue is not bundy's cows but the way the federal government is handling public land. The turtles are not hurt by cows. The BLM are not trained to handle pressure situations like this they are scared and jumpy and going to hurt someone. They have at least they stopped driving thru town with machine guns. They are still driving in residential areas were my kids ride there bike at speeds twice the post limit. It is like a war zone. Happy Hick says: April 12, 2014 at 12:42 pm Hitler had his thugs too, and if the Feds are determined to follow in his foot steps then the American public has lost representation. What is really weird is that as soon as the gov. started asking for gun control the assailants went from shootings to knifings. Will they take our steak knives too. Dangerously if they can create terrorist then they can create an excuse to control. How far will it go. If I stir up a bunch of desert turtles in a soup pot, how many will it take to produce a human? If I don't try to help the cause the feds have created then am I worth that many turtles? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti oh, wait Chinese is involved as well Only Judy calls it 'IT'S ALL BULLSHIT' Lydi says: April 11, 2014 at 1:04 pm The Bureau of Land Management, whose Director was Sen.

I've only recently learned about the issues. A family member of mine who lives in Nevada...who has been following this situation...sent this to me: "Nevada was admitted to the Union in 1864 with the proviso that what is now 87% of the land, be ceded to the Federal government which has since been turned over management powers to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). That ceding provision is also in the Nevada State Constitution. We want our land back. There is a move afoot to amend the State constitution and eliminate that provision. That's step one. Step two is to get Washington to support that position and give our land back so that WE can use it as a source of income." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti the redneck with gun won the day this time http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/04/11/3425659/armed-right-wing-militias-de scend-on-nevada-to-help-rancher-defy-court-order/ This conflict arises out of rancher Cliven Bundy's many years of illegally grazing his cattle on federal lands. In 1998, a federal court ordered Bundy to cease grazing his livestock on an area of federal land known as the Bunkerville Allotment, and required him to pay the federal government $200 per day per head of cattle remaining on federal lands. Around the time it issued this order, the court also commented that "[t]he government has shown commendable restraint in allowing this trespass to continue for so long without impounding Bundy's livestock." Fifteen years later, Bundy continued to defy this court order. On Saturday of last week, the government hired wranglers to round up Bundy's livestock. As of Wednesday, they'd impounded a total of 352 cattle. That's when a tense standoff broke out between a group of Bundy's supporters and federal rangers armed with stun guns and police dogs. In one video, a ranger tackles Bundy's sister away from a moving vehicle (she later admitted that she was blocking the path of government trucks shortly before this incident). Another video shows rangers using a stun gun on a protester immediately after he kicks a police dog. Rancher Cliven Bundy demanded of sheriff Doug Gillespie that all narional park service employees working on the cattle roundup operation be disarmed before 10:45 a.m. He gave Gillespie one hour to comply, and added for the firearms to be brought to him. The demand comes on the heels of the Bureau of Land Management pulling the plug on the roundup due to safety concerns. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i'm not a cowboy but... i thought 'rancher' means you set up fence for your domesticated animals.

Balkin "The differences between law and the performing arts, however, are just as important as the similarities. Legal performances are usually canonical in a way that musical and dramatic performances are not. It is mandatory to interpret and apply laws in a sense in which it is not mandatory to interpret and perform artistic works like Il Trovatore. Second, at least in the United States, interpretation is hierarchically organized. If a lower court disobeys the interpretation of a higher court, a higher court has the right to reverse it. On the other hand, when Riccardo Muti decides that he is going to perform the G in the Verdi's original printed score instead of the traditional high C, his decision does not have the same effect. Nothing prevents another opera conductor from performing the high C that very same night in another opera house somewhere in the world. And if another conductor does so, there is very little that Muti can do other than criticize. In short, both the similarities and the differences between law, music and drama concern (1) how conventions of performance are organized, defended and enforced, (2) how they are embedded in institutions, and (3) how they change over time.

The program, code-named PRISM, has not been made public until now. It may be the first of its kind. The NSA prides itself on stealing secrets and breaking codes, and it is accustomed to corporate partnerships that help it divert data traffic or sidestep barriers. But there has never been a Google or Facebook before, and it is unlikely that there are richer troves of valuable intelligence than the ones in Silicon Valley. Equally unusual is the way the NSA extracts what it wants, according to the document: "Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple." London's Guardian newspaper reported Friday that GCHQ, Britain's equivalent of the NSA, also has been secretly gathering intelligence from the same internet companies through an operation set up by the NSA. According to documents obtained by The Guardian, PRISM would appear to allow GCHQ to circumvent the formal legal process required in Britain to seek personal material such as emails, photos and videos from an internet company based outside of the country. PRISM was launched from the ashes of President George W. Bush's secret program of warrantless domestic surveillance in 2007, after news media disclosures, lawsuits and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court forced the president to look for new authority. Congress obliged with the Protect America Act in 2007 and the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which immunized private companies that cooperated voluntarily with U.S. intelligence collection. PRISM recruited its first partner, Microsoft, and began six years of rapidly growing data collection beneath the surface of a roiling national debate on surveillance and privacy. Late last year, when critics in Congress sought changes in the FISA Amendments Act, the only lawmakers who knew about PRISM were bound by oaths of office to hold their tongues. The court-approved program is focused on foreign communications traffic, which often flows through U.S. servers even when sent from one overseas location to another. Between 2004 and 2007, Bush administration lawyers persuaded federal FISA judges to issue surveillance orders in a fundamentally new form. Until then the government had to show probable cause that a particular "target" and "facility" were both connected to terrorism or espionage. In four new orders, which remain classified, the court defined massive data sets as "facilities" and agreed to certify periodically that the government had reasonable procedures in place to minimize collection of "U.S. persons" data without a warrant. In a statement issue late Thursday, Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper said "information collected under this program is among the most important and valuable foreign intelligence information we collect, and is used to protect our nation from a wide variety of threats. The unauthorized disclosure of information about this important and entirely legal program is reprehensible and risks important protections for the security of Americans." Clapper added that there were numerous inaccuracies in reports about PRISM by The Post and the Guardian newspaper, but he did not specify any. Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said: "I would just push back on the idea that the court has signed off on it, so why worry? This is a court that meets in secret, allows only the government to appear before it, and publishes almost none of its opinions. It has never been an effective check on government." Several companies contacted by The Post said they had no knowledge of the program, did not allow direct government access to their servers and asserted that they responded only to targeted requests for information. "We do not provide any government organization with direct access to Facebook servers," said Joe Sullivan, chief security officer for Facebook. "When Facebook is asked for data or information about specific individuals, we carefully scrutinize any such request for compliance with all applicable laws, and provide information only to the extent required by law." "We have never heard of PRISM," said Steve Dowling, a spokesman for Apple. "We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order." It is possible that the conflict between the PRISM slides and the company spokesmen is the result of imprecision on the part of the NSA author. In another classified report obtained by The Post, the arrangement is described as allowing "collection managers [to send] content tasking instructions directly to equipment installed at company-controlled locations," rather than directly to company servers. Government officials and the document itself made clear that the NSA regarded the identities of its private partners as PRISM's most sensitive secret, fearing that the companies would withdraw from the program if exposed. "98 percent of PRISM production is based on Yahoo, Google and Microsoft; we need to make sure we don't harm these sources," the briefing's author wrote in his speaker's notes. An internal presentation of 41 briefing slides on PRISM, dated April 2013 and intended for senior analysts in the NSA's Signals Intelligence Directorate, described the new tool as the most prolific contributor to the President's Daily Brief, which cited PRISM data in 1,477 items last year. According to the slides and other supporting materials obtained by The Post, "NSA reporting increasingly relies on PRISM" as its leading source of raw material, accounting for nearly 1 in 7 intelligence reports. That is a remarkable figure in an agency that measures annual intake in the trillions of communications. It is all the more striking because the NSA, whose lawful mission is foreign intelligence, is reaching deep inside the machinery of American companies that host hundreds of millions of American-held accounts on American soil. The technology companies, whose cooperation is essential to PRISM operations, include most of the dominant global players of Silicon Valley, according to the document. They are listed on a roster that bears their logos in order of entry into the program: "Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple." PalTalk, although much smaller, has hosted traffic of substantial intelligence interest during the Arab Spring and in the ongoing Syrian civil war. Dropbox, the cloud storage and synchronization service, is described as "coming soon." Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.), who had classified knowledge of the program as members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, were unable to speak of it when they warned in a Dec. 27, 2012, floor debate that the FISA Amendments Act had what both of them called a "back-door search loophole" for the content of innocent Americans who were swept up in a search for someone else. "As it is written, there is nothing to prohibit the intelligence community from searching through a pile of communications, which may have been incidentally or accidentally been collected without a warrant, to deliberately search for the phone calls or e-mails of specific Americans," Udall said. Wyden repeatedly asked the NSA to estimate the number of Americans whose communications had been incidentally collected, and the agency's director, Lt. Gen. Keith B. Alexander, insisted there was no way to find out. Eventually Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III wrote Wyden a letter stating that it would violate the privacy of Americans in NSA data banks to try to estimate their number. Roots in the '70s PRISM is an heir, in one sense, to a history of intelligence alliances with as many as 100 trusted U.S. companies since the 1970s. The NSA calls these Special Source Operations, and PRISM falls under that rubric. The Silicon Valley operation works alongside a parallel program, code-named BLARNEY, that gathers up "metadata" -- technical information about communications traffic and network devices -- as it streams past choke points along the backbone of the Internet. BLARNEY's top-secret program summary, set down in the slides alongside a cartoon insignia of a shamrock and a leprechaun hat, describes it as "an ongoing collection program that leverages IC [intelligence community] and commercial partnerships to gain access and exploit foreign intelligence obtained from global networks." But the PRISM program appears to more nearly resemble the most controversial of the warrantless surveillance orders issued by President George W. Bush after the al-Qaeda attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Its history, in which President Obama presided over exponential growth in a program that candidate Obama criticized, shows how fundamentally surveillance law and practice have shifted away from individual suspicion in favor of systematic, mass collection techniques. The Obama administration points to ongoing safeguards in the form of "extensive procedures, specifically approved by the court, to ensure that only non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. are targeted, and that minimize the acquisition, retention and dissemination of incidentally acquired information about U.S. persons." And it is true that the PRISM program is not a dragnet, exactly. From inside a company's data stream the NSA is capable of pulling out anything it likes, but under current rules the agency does not try to collect it all. Analysts who use the system from a Web portal at Fort Meade, Md., key in "selectors," or search terms, that are designed to produce at least 51 percent confidence in a target's "foreignness." That is not a very stringent test. Training materials obtained by The Post instruct new analysts to make quarterly reports of any accidental collection of U.S. content, but add that "it's nothing to worry about." Even when the system works just as advertised, with no American singled out for targeting, the NSA routinely collects a great deal of American content. That is described as "incidental," and it is inherent in contact chaining, one of the basic tools of the trade. To collect on a suspected spy or foreign terrorist means, at minimum, that everyone in the suspect's inbox or outbox is swept in. Intelligence analysts are typically taught to chain through contacts two "hops" out from their target, which increases "incidental collection" exponentially. The same math explains the aphorism, from the John Guare play, that no one is more than "six degrees of separation" from any other person. A `directive' In exchange for immunity from lawsuits, companies such as Yahoo and AOL are obliged to accept a "directive" from the attorney general and the director of national intelligence to open their servers to the FBI's Data Intercept Technology Unit, which handles liaison to U.S. companies from the NSA. In 2008, Congress gave the Justice Department authority for a secret order from the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Court to compel a reluctant company "to comply." In practice, there is room for a company to maneuver, delay or resist. When a clandestine intelligence program meets a highly regulated industry, said a lawyer with experience in bridging the gaps, neither side wants to risk a public fight. The engineering problems are so immense, in systems of such complexity and frequent change, that the FBI and NSA would be hard pressed to build in back doors without active help from each company. Apple demonstrated that resistance is possible when it held out for more than five years, for reasons unknown, after Microsoft became PRISM's first corporate partner in May 2007. Twitter, which has cultivated a reputation for aggressive defense of its users' privacy, is still conspicuous by its absence from the list of "private sector partners." Google, like the other companies, denied that it permitted direct government access to its servers. "Google cares deeply about the security of our users' data," a company spokesman said. "We disclose user data to government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests carefully. From time to time, people allege that we have created a government `back door' into our systems, but Google does not have a `back door' for the government to access private user data." Microsoft also provided a statement: "We provide customer data only when we receive a legally binding order or subpoena to do so, and never on a voluntary basis. In addition we only ever comply with orders for requests about specific accounts or identifiers. If the government has a broader voluntary national security program to gather customer data we don't participate in it." Yahoo also issued a denial. "Yahoo! takes users' privacy very seriously," the company said in a statement. "We do not provide the government with direct access to our servers, systems, or network." Like market researchers, but with far more privileged access, collection managers in the NSA's Special Source Operations group, which oversees the PRISM program, are drawn to the wealth of information about their subjects in online accounts. For much the same reason, civil libertarians and some ordinary users may be troubled by the menu available to analysts who hold the required clearances to "task" the PRISM system. There has been "continued exponential growth in tasking to Facebook and Skype," according to the PRISM slides. With a few clicks and an affirmation that the subject is believed to be engaged in terrorism, espionage or nuclear proliferation, an analyst obtains full access to Facebook's "extensive search and surveillance capabilities against the variety of online social networking services." According to a separate "User's Guide for PRISM Skype Collection," that service can be monitored for audio when one end of the call is a conventional telephone and for any combination of "audio, video, chat, and file transfers" when Skype users connect by computer alone. Google's offerings include Gmail, voice and video chat, Google Drive files, photo libraries, and live surveillance of search terms. Firsthand experience with these systems, and horror at their capabilities, is what drove a career intelligence officer to provide PowerPoint slides about PRISM and supporting materials to The Washington Post in order to expose what he believes to be a gross intrusion on privacy. "They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type," the officer said. Poitras is a documentary filmmaker and MacArthur Fellow.

Washington proceeded cautiously as news of the Garden State invasion spread. President Barack Obama could not be reached due to what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney described as "justifiable preoccupation with salvaging mother f'n Obamacare" on the first day after the deadline for enrollment expired, but the President did issue a statement shortly thereafter stating that both his thoughts "and those of the First Lady are with the people of New Jersey as they grapple with the consequences of my flexibility promise to our new Soviet overlords." U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-Twitter) declined to comment, unable to find an A.A. Milne quote suitable for the occasion and expressible in just 140 character. Senior Senator Bob Menendez's office stated that he was out of the country on a Foreign Relations Committee tour of the Sandals beach resort in Jamaica along with several prominent optometrists. National Republican reaction was mixed, with Speaker Boehner and Hill Republican leaders holding a press availability to demand immediate action by the President to liberate the occupied portion of New Jersey while former Rep. Ron Paul appeared on Fox and Friends and admonished other GOP politicians for forgetting that "what happens in a foreign country like New Jersey is none of our darn business." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti new data center in NJ "The data center is really the nervous system of the country, of the world," Crocker said. { that's kinda funny way to put it...no? } http://njtechweekly.com/art/2301-south-brunswick-based-steel-orca-to-operate-650 -m-data-center-in-old-phizer-labs/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti chrome likes hanging chads IT DOES!

Ferreyr says in the lawsuit that she was emotionally tortured, harassed, and abused by Soros (who denies all the claims) during an alleged fight when he informed her that he'd given the apartment to another lover. It's not been revealed that, when she threatened to take him to court, Soros' lawyer William Zabel approached Ferreyr's lawyer cousin Mauricio Carneiro via email with a cash offer. The email allegedly read: "Pursuant to your conversation with George Soros... I understand you may wish to be helpful with the situation." Carneiro replied that he "could not be bought" and was "shocked that George called me to offer me $250,000 in order to get my sympathy, get rid of her lawyers and settle the case." Zabel has since admitted that the email was sent, but added that it wasn't a bribe, saying, "George had met him before and he liked him. He had reached out to him because he is a lawyer and a relative and he hoped to settle the case before it went to court. It is in no way a bribe." In August, Ferryr spoke out about her five-year relationship with the financier known as the "Man Who Broke the Bank of England" after making millions during the 1992 U.K. currency crisis. Despite their 53-year age difference, she insisted their relationship was "respectful and loveable" before their split, followed by her allegations of physical abuse. Ferreyr, a former child actor, met Soros five years ago. She says she was monogamous during their time together and was hoping to "settle down" with Soros, who she said never lavished her with gifts during their first few years together. Eventually, though, he offered to buy her an apartment, and she found her "dream home" - a $1.9 million condo at 30 E. 85th St - just two streets from him. Soros agreed to buy it for her, but Ferreyr says that the day after they signed the paperwork in December, Soros had a change of heart, and offered the apartment instead to 39-year-old Tamiko Bolton, his "travelling nurse." The soap star also claims that Soros slapped her in the face and attempted to choke her as they argued over the property in bed together. According to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, during the dispute, "Soros slapped Ferreyr across the face and proceeded to put his hands around her neck in an attempt to choke her." Ferreyr claims she managed to evade him and picked up a glass lamp with which she protected herself. Soros then allegedly grabbed the lamp and tried to hit her with it, narrowly missing. According to the lawsuit, Ferreyr claims Soros twice broke promises to buy her apartments in the building - once again after a brief reconciliation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti 'contending with Kennan' reading the book 'Contending with Kennan: toward a philosophy of American Power' by Barton Gellman http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_F._Kennan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti a concentrated dose of uselessness it might have entertaining value, if only for himself.

On 17 June 2001, Simeon II, the son of Tsar Boris III and himself the former Head of state (as Tsar of Bulgaria from 1943 to 1946), won a narrow victory in elections. The Tsar's party -- National Movement Simeon II ("NMSII") -- won 120 of the 240 seats in Parliament. Simeon's popularity declined quickly during his four-year rule as Prime Minister and the BSP won the elections in 2005, but could not form a single-party government and had to seek a coalition. In the parliamentary elections in July 2009, Boyko Borisov's right-centrist party GERB won nearly 40% of the votes. Since 1989 Bulgaria has held multi-party elections and privatized its economy, but economic difficulties and a tide of corruption have led over 800,000 Bulgarians, including many qualified professionals, to emigrate in a "brain drain". The reform package introduced in 1997 restored positive economic growth, but led to rising social inequality. The political and economic system after 1989 virtually failed to improve both the living standards and create economic growth. According to a 2009 Pew Global Attitudes Project survey, 76% of Bulgarians said they were dissatisfied with the system of democracy, 63% thought that free markets did not make people better off and only 11% of Bulgarians agreed that ordinary people had benefited from the changes in 1989.[92] Furthermore, the average quality of life and economic performance actually remained lower than in the times of communism well into the early 2000s (decade).[93] Bulgaria became a member of NATO in 2004 and of the European Union in 2007 and is generally accepted as having good freedom of speech and human rights record.[94] In 2010 it was ranked 32nd (between Greece and Lithuania) out of 181 countries in the Globalization Index.[95] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i had a good night sleep and I also loved those nights when holy ghost was trying to poke my brain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti that's it.

It seems to me that today people talk very freely about rights as being somehow basic, intrinsic, or even natural; whereas in the more traditional view, rights could only exist because some power granted them, and at the same time that power had to impose the corresponding duties that would make the rights effective. Bentham described the idea of natural rights as "nonsense on stilts". But now we have laws and conventions on human rights, and they seem to be regarded as sacrosanct, beyond the reach of reason and debate. It seems that we have fallen into Bentham's fallacy.

Asked directly and repeatedly if the Senate panel was entitled to the memos, which several senators claimed were crucial for performing their oversight functions, Krass replied: "I do not think so, as a general matter." Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who chairs the committee, suggested that Krass placed her nomination as CIA general counsel in jeopardy. "You are going to encounter some heat in that regard," Feinstein said. After 3 months or so from that hearing, what's different now?

This paper argues that,to the extent that the United States is a nation dedicated to "the pursuit of happiness" understood as the removal of "uneasiness," same-sex unions or marriages should be given legal recognition. While Locke defended a variation on traditional marriage on the grounds of progenitiveness and care for dependent offspring, his more foundational commitment to the importance of the removal of uneasiness precludes, on pain of inconsistency, limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples. This paper argues, furthermore, that conservatives and neo-conservatives who celebrate this nation's being "the first creedal nation" in history are, when they come to oppose same-sex marriage, hoist of their own creedal petard; "the pursuit of happiness" leads, for some people, to same-sex union. Locke followed his own logic to a defense of polygamy, and the same logic leads to same-sex unions. The paper concludes that truly principled opposition to same-sex marriage requires the embrace of politics rooted in man's summum bonum, the very project modernity has been out to eradicate. The Catholic Church would be a help to the state in leading man to achieve his summum bonum, but Locke's tolerance does not extend to the liberty of the Church (libertas Ecclesiae), nor, not accidentally, does the U.S. Constitution recognize the liberty of the Church per se. This paper originated as an invited contribution to a symposium on "Whether Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage is Constitutionally Required," held at BYU's J. Reuben Clark School of Law in November, 2012. The Lockean logic of Justice Kennedy's majority opinion in United States v. Windsor is unmistakable (if unnamed), even if the Court stopped slightly short of taking that logic for all that it is worth. Given Justice Kennedy's Lockean principles, there is no principled basis for not announcing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, as Justice Scalia recognized in dissent. bravo. smoke that in your pipe, gay5! I have just been discussing equality as a descriptive or ontological possibility. On the related, but distinct question of equality as a normative matter--yes, of course, it is a principle of the natural law that all men and women are normatively entitled to equal treatment "under law." It is equally a principle of the natural law, however, that an unjust "law" is no law at all, and a human "law" that valorized same-sex union would be unjust in the relevant, viz., a violation of higher law.85 True human equality consists in the Good News: the surprising news that salvation is offered to all, but on the Offeror's, not the offerees', terms. This is the news the Church brings, along with the means to bring it to completion. This is news that Locke and the nation's fabled founders hid under a bushel basket. It is time to put it on a pedestal and make the nation happy, by which I do not mean removing "uneasiness."

Won over skeptics Christie was sworn in as a U.S. attorney in January 2002. He had spent two years as a lobbyist, made an unsuccessful run for the state legislature and been voted out of office after one unpopular term as a county freeholder. Looking at his rsum, some deemed him unprepared to become the top federal law enforcement officer in New Jersey. Many attributed his appointment to his fundraising prowess for Bush. But he won over most skeptics on his own staff. Former assistant U.S. attorneys who worked under Christie say he gained their respect in part by acting professionally and in part with the personal touch he brought to the job. In his first weeks, he called each of the 120 or so prosecutors into his office individually and asked their advice. "His background was a little different than most appointees -- he had more political experience," said Jeffrey Clark, an assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted public corruption and white-collar crimes under Christie until 2004. "But he was a very quick study. I never once saw, or got any hint, that he let politics affect a case or his judgment of a case. Democrat, Republican -- it didn't matter. If there was evidence, we'd bring the case, and if there wasn't, we wouldn't." Christie had taken an oath to uphold a critical public trust, by prosecuting public corruption and fraud in a state infamous for both, and to be above political influence or bias. But he held this powerful, apolitical post at a time when he was building a political future for himself, laying the groundwork for his gubernatorial campaign. Bond vs. US - 10th amendment http://www.npr.org/2011/02/22/133946067/constitutional-questions-arise-in-chemic als-case Challenging The Federal Law On appeal, Bond cited the 10th Amendment to the Constitution -- a Tea Party favorite because it highlights states' rights. It says that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution ... are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Congress, Bond argued, exceeded its authority by using a chemical weapons treaty to criminalize the kind of activity routinely dealt with under state law. In short, she maintained that the federal government had treated a simple assault as if it were a terrorist attack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti NJ politics http://www.thenation.com/blog/178507/david-samsons-tangled-web-port-authority# http://class.coursera.org/conlaw-001/forum/thread?thread_id=1722 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti filled the blank http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/supreme_court_dispatches/2011/02 /the_case_of_the_poisoned_lover.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Kentucky sinkhole swallowed 8 pricey corvette http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/12/us/national-corvette-museum-cars-fall/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti karst landscape --> caveman http://www.cancaver.ca/linx/int.htm#software ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti A-teapotism http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/is-atheism-irrational/ ?

Could you imagine the NYT giving such a romantic review of a Nazi holdout who believed that Hilter was a diety? Such biased presentation of the Japanese military during WWII has allowed right wing fanatics in Japan to continue to deny and minimize the crimes they committed against Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos and millions of innocent civilians in Asia. ------------------------------------------------- DK Simi Valley 8 days ago I'm sorry, but I think Mr. Onoda is, quite literally, an idiot. He couldn't understand that the war was over for almost 3 decades?? This is more about a little insight into the attitude of the Japanese culture rather than the "courage" of a single man. ----------------------------------------------- Nobumasa Ohta Tokyo 8 days ago Japanese combatants were neither supermen nor sub humans. Leutenant Onoda could continue fighting because he was on the right side of the cause. This is backed by the fact that virtually no Japanese war veterans of the Pacific War suffered PTSD whereas so many American war veterans suffered it. In fact, this War erupted because both US and UK having been willingly duped by the corrupt Facsist-Stalinist Chinese bandits who tried to neutralize pre War liberal democratic Japan's efforts to deter Stalinism's direct and indirect East Asian invasion. We all know the tragic consequences of this folly which not only brought about the premature dissolution of the British Empire but also astronomical number of deaths caused by wars and persecutions and misrules by the Stalinists throughout the East Asia. This is my view of the 20th century East Asian history, of which the Communist Chinese leadership shares, I presume, through reading People's Daily online carefully every day between the lines.(continued) ---------------------------------- shelbym new orleans 8 days ago To understand the brutal culture that created the Japan of WWII I suggest reading the book "Flyboys", James Bradley's excellent follow-up to his "Flags of Our Fathers." Many may have dismissed this book as hero worship for George H.W Bush for his heroic actions in the war, but it is far from that. Rather it is one of the most intensely anti-war histories I have ever read. Bradley achieves this by giving the cultural background that created a Japanese Army that was - from top to bottom - much more inhumane than its German counterpart, while also looking at the cruelty that overtook many American GIs fighting in the Pacific. You will have deeper understanding of what drove Mr. Onoda to hold out so long. But that understanding may not increase any appreciation you feel for his sacrifices. ------------------------------------ Anna Harding Elliot Lake, ON 9 days ago It is interesting that when I saluted Lieutenant Onoda I unleashed a litany of vitriol directed against his nation, himself, myself, and anyone who would support him. It has been implied that by doing so I show support for the atrocities committed by the Japanese military (and other armed forces) during the Pacific war. I suspect that to say I do not is something that will be ignored amidst fresh howls for my blood. You do not pick where you are born. In time of war you do not get to choose the side on which you will fight, or the cause for which you are fighting. Your sworn duty is to "harass, confound and confuse" the enemy to the best of your ability, and to do your utter best to destroy his will to continue the struggle. Lieutenant Onoda was given his orders and he did precisely that. That he considered himself a soldier in the field and under orders is demonstrated by the fact that when he surrendered he did so in uniform, with his weapons in working order, and that he formally surrendered his sword - again in conformance to orders from competent authority - to his enemy. Semper Fidelis is the motto of the United States Marine Corps. It translates as "Always Faithful". If this is the behaviour to be expected of a United States Marine, why should it not be the behaviour expected of a member of the military of any other nation? Lt. Onoda followed orders to stay behind, and he followed orders to surrender. He was a worthy foe and an honourable man. Norio Suzuki - The last holdout, Lieutenant Onoda, officially declared dead in 1959, was found by Norio Suzuki, a student searching for him, in 1974. The lieutenant rejected Mr. Suzuki's pleas to go home, insisting he was still awaiting orders. Mr. Suzuki returned with photographs, and the Japanese government sent a delegation, including the lieutenant's brother and his former commander, to relieve him of duty formally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti debate - what's great about America http://www.dineshdsouza.com/archives/news/dsouza-debate-bill-ayers-whats-great-a merica/#comments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti this land is your land and security leadership void. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/28/opinion/wergin-the-security-leadership-void.ht ml Invade! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti hater of america http://www.antiwar.com/scheuer/?articleid=11670 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti one needs fixation to accmplish anything In our modern age, fixation on a locality is the dumpest choice.

They either have a concept of beauty, or they don't. In his final cadences, Dutton manages to reference The Last Supper, the "Pastoral Symphony", Fantasia, Duchamp, John Cage and Tracey Emin, and then scrolls back to the first daubs of red ochre on a human face. How far apart? How close? "Preoccupied as we are with the flashy media and buzzing gizmos of daily experience, we forget how close we remain to the prehistoric men and women who first found beauty in the world. Their blood runs in our veins. Our art instinct is theirs." addiction - monogamy vs. monolithic programming? I wonder how many here consider themselves addicted to K5 or MDC's foes, for better and for worse? Eric Kandel recently said: "Brain studies will ultimately tell us what it is like to be human." Knowing what we now know about the brain, my brain-scanning partner, Lucy Brown, has suggested that romantic love is a natural addiction; and I have maintained that this natural addiction evolved from mammalian antecedents some 4.4m years ago among our first hominid ancestors, in conjunction with the evolution of (serial, social) monogamy - a hallmark of humankind. Its purpose: to motivate our forebears to focus their mating time and metabolic energy on a single partner at a time, thus initiating the formation of a pair-bond to rear their young (at least through infancy) together as a team. The sooner we embrace what brain science is telling us - and use this information to upgrade the concept of addiction - the better we will understand ourselves and all the billions of others on this planet who revel in the ecstasy and struggle with the sorrow of this profoundly powerful, natural, often positive addiction: romantic love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti but for those who finds beauty more readily accessible in words than in flesh, then it is self-evident that trinity is built on 1-1 and infinity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti social evolution and 'natural' order of how adult/mature memebers raising their offsprings is the definition of 'culture' survival of sexes/species.

Coercion is possible, Tolstoy thought, because of a duality in awareness that allowed persons to say one thing and think another, act one way and believe another. If we could collapse that duality of awareness we might find brotherhood and justice.

If transmitted to others, then they feel it, and all interpretations are superflous ... An artist's work cannot be interpreted. Had it been possible to explain in words what he wished to convey, the artist would have expressed himself in words. He expressed it by his art, only because the feeling he experienced could not be otherwise transmitted.

A harsh critic of the Emperor system and the Meiji constitution, he claimed that the Japanese were not the emperors people, rather the Emperor was the "peoples emperor." He advocated a complete reconstructing of Japan along the lines of his own version of state socialism. Kita was in contact with many people of the extreme right and wrote pamphlets and books. The government saw Kitas ideas as disruptive and dangerous, in 1937 he was implicated, although not directly involved in a failed coup attempt and executed. He is still widely read in academic circles in Japan. ... Kita's Outline Plan, his last book, exerted a major influence on a part of the Japanese military--especially in the Imperial Japanese Army factions who participated in the failed coup of 1936. After the coup attempt, Kita was arrested by the Kempeitai for complicity, tried by a closed military court, and executed.[9] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti research degree - Prof. urs matthias zachmann http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/literatures-languages-cultures/asian-stu dies/staff/urs-matthias-zachmann/overview ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti sshfs for Windows 7 displays blue screen and effective reboot order to the host. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti iPad & iPad touch funny names.

Father Brown describes this imaginative substitution as a 'religious exercise'. For Plato, the moral adventure would be too perilous, even for a judge. His attitude throws further light on his constant theme, 'knowledge versus experience'. Knowledge keeps a man clear of risks and experience takes him into them. There is, as so often, a moral edge to Plato's epistemology, the knowledge which is everybody's knowledge is sanity and soundness, experiential knowledge is suspect and precarious. As we shall see, as an approach to religious knowledge, this healthy-minded extroversion is far too simple. 2.

And, in that connexion, it should be noted that the factor of privacy and the factor of finding out, in this particular complex of ideas, go together. It is because enterprise, conscience and religious conviction have persoonal contexts that they are adventures and not certainties. The quest for certainty stems from the belief in authority and solidarity, buttressed, in the case of philosophers, by objective demonstration. The empirical approach to things is entailed by the personal; from his own resources, whether in meditation or in practice, no man can cover the whole ground; there is always more to know and there is always more to dare. On the other hand, the personal approach is entailed by the empirical; discovereies do not discover themselves. Traditions and even arguments are by comparison impersonal; they have to be appropriated or apprehended, but they do not have to be made or made again. The piecemeal advance of knowledge depends on a continuing inquirer, or on a continuing team or succession of inquirers. The point is crucial, for the empiricist has frequently practised a reductive analysis leading back to the impersonl unit of sensation, or to the equally impersonal unit of point-event, in which his own activity is itself reduced to sensation or event, and his personal role in the act of reducing disappears, along with what he is reducing, into the depersonalized unit to which he reduces it. It may help to dissociate empiricism from this unempirical deviation if we replace it in its cultural context and reunite it with the zest of personal enterprise. For a philosophy of religion, no move could be more important. bookserver by archive.org http://archive.org/projects/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti MLP in chinese http://blog.artintern.net/article/10534 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i like to see her aging under my nose http://www.youtube.com/user/bjorkdotcom musically she hasn't changed much, has she? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti when bjork met Sir Attenboroug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Attenborough ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Aileen Wuornos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileen_Wuornos what you make of her? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti in the film, she later retracted her own lies 7 men that she murdered weren't trying to rape her in the ass.

John F. Kennedy stands with his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, on the Harvard campus in 1937 (AP Images) John F. Kennedy is one of the most mythologized figures in contemporary American history. At age 17, though, he was just a kid trying to get into college (a kid with a wealthy, famous father, of course). The Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum has a digitized version of Kennedy's 1935 Harvard application, which includes his grades and his response to the essay prompt, "Why do you wish to come to Harvard?" Here's how the future president answered: The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I feel that Harvard can give me a better background and a better liberal education than any other university. I have always wanted to go there, as I have felt that it is not just another college, but is a university with something definite to offer. Then too, I would like to go to the same college as my father. To be a "Harvard man" is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain. April 23, 1935 John F. Kennedy Business Insider dismisses the essay for being five sentences long (I'm not sure how much more he could have written given the space) and implies that his answer wasn't carefully considered. That's probably true--Kennedy's grades show that he wasn't an especially good student in high school, and there's not much evidence that he took his education seriously at this point in his life. Plus, as Gawker points out, Kennedy wrote nearly exactly the same essay for his Princeton application. Still, Kennedy's essay shows a profound, if implicit, understanding of the primary value of attending an elite school: status and personal connections, rather than mastery of academic skills and knowledge. Notice that he only makes one mention of the education he'd receive at Harvard--a passing reference to the school's superior "liberal education." The rest of the paragraph focuses on the the non-academic benefits: having a "better background," sharing the same alma mater with his dad, and enjoying the "enviable distinction" of being a Harvard Man. And it is, indeed, an enviable distinction. Harvard has produced eight United States presidents, more than any other school. The school's website has a whole section devoted to all the alumni who've won Nobel prizes. Two of its dropouts are among the richest people in America. Whether these glories are due to the school's excellent education or its impressive alumni network and name recognition, who knows? But Kennedy clearly thought he knew the answer. source: http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/11/jfks-deeply-revealing-harva rd-application-essay/281699/ jump to commentaries gidtanner * 5 days ago Note that the writer of this drivel has corrected JFK's spelling without acknowledging doing so. The 17 year old wrote " Then to(sic), I would like..." Ms. Barkhorn corrects the sentence to " Then too,..." Was this change the product of unintentionally sloppy reporting ? As to attempts in the piece or in the comments following it, to give significance to the essay, does no one understand that the space left for the answer in the application was so short because the institution likely realized the meaninglessness of such essays? By the way , is there anyone out there who'd like their college admission application essay published ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Amry is having a SEX change they find out there are plenty of 'Joan of Arc' among our mist.

YES. All hail Happy B day to uncle Paul! cartographies of silence from 'The Dream of a common language' 1. A conversation begins with a lie. And each speaker of the so-called common language feels the ice-floe split, the drift apart as if powerless, as if up against a force of nature A poem can begin with a lie. And be torn up A conversation has other laws recharges itself with its own false energy. Cannot be torn up. Infiltrates our blood. Repeats itself. Inscribes with its unreturning stylus the isolation it denies. 2. The classical music station playing hour upon hour in the apartment the picking up and picking up and again picking up the telephone The syllables uttering the old script over and over The loneliness of the liar living in the formal network of the lie twisting the dials to drown the terror beneath the unsaid word 3. The technology of silence The rituals, etiquette the blurring of terms silence not absence of words or music or even raw sound Silence can be a plan rigorously executed the blueprint to a life It is a presence it has a history a form Do not confuse it with any kind of absence 4 How calm, how inoffensive these words begin to seem to me though begun in grief and anger CAN i BREAK through this film of the abstract without wounding myself or you there is enough pain here This is why the classical or the jazz music station plays? to give a ground of meaning to our pain? 5 Silence that strips bare: In Dreyer's Passion of Joan Falconetti's face, hair shorn, a great geography mutely surveyed by the camera If there were a poetry where this could happen not as blank spaces or as words stretched like a skin over meanings but as silence falls at the end of a night through which two people have talked till dawn 6. The scream of an illegitimate voice It has ceased to hear itself, therefore it asks itself How do I exist? This was the silence I wanted to break in you I had questions but you would not answer I had answers but you could not use them This is useless to you and perhaps to others 7. It was an old theme even for me: Language cannot do everything -- chalk it on the walls where the dead poets lie in their mausoleums If at the will of the poet the poem could turn into a thing a granite flank laid bare, a lifted head alight with dew If it could simply look you in the face with naked eyeballs, not letting you turn till you, and I who long to make this thing, were finally clarified together in its sare 8. No. Let me have this dust, these pale clouds dourly lingering, these words moving with ferocious accuracy like the blind child's fingers or the newborn infant's mouth violent with hunger No one can give me, I haVe long ago taken this method whether of bran pouring from the loose-woven sack or of the bunsen-flame turned low and blue If from time to time I envy the pure annunciations to the eye the visio beatifica if from time to time I long to turn like the Eleusinian hierophant holding up a simple ear of grain for return to the concrete and everlasting world what in fact I keep choosing are these words, these whispers, conversations from which time after time the truth breaks moist and green. 1975 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti a mad man's diary I'm sending a package to prison in China.

The Mother flew too late And life within the egg was left to fate, Not really knowing how The world outside would take it, when it came, And life's the same for things we aim, are we to blame?

The egg breaks all is out, The crawling bird begins to scream and shout, Where is the parent bird, A loneliness arose and heard its name ringing For life begins, survival win, survivals sin. So soon the evening comes And with it runs the aching fear of hate Could someone still remain Who thinks he still could gain by escaping fate? It's much too late, don't underrate, appreciate. Don't doubt the fact there's life within you Yesterdays endings will tomorrow life give you All that dies, dies for a reason To put it's strength into the season Survival, Survival, They take away and they give you life of their name The livings right to live, it's all that we need to give The livings right to know.

I will have to say the author needs a good editor. The conversion to Kindle was lousy. The writer gets present tense and past tense mixed up.

Schmitt composed this telling rhyme as a personal reflection, in the notes he wrote in his prison cell at Nuremberg, in 1946, and published it as part of his book Glossarium in 1952. The verses reinforce an unconfirmed myth according to which his last conversation with Robert Kempner, the chief attorney of the Nuremberg trial, who was interrogating Carl Schmitt, ended with the following exchange: Kempner: What are you going to do now? Schmitt: I will retreat into the security of silence. Schmitt was interrogated and imprisoned for theirteen months, suspected of having been an active promoter of Hitler's politics of expansion. Subsequently, he was released from prison without any charges being levied against him. He gave up his chair in Berlin, returned to his parents' home in Plettenberg and ostensibly retreated to a house he then named San Casciano. San Casciano was the name of the town near to the farm where Machiavelli 'exiled himself' after his expulsion from public life by the Medici... also aludes to Saint Cassian, the last martyr of Diocletian's persecution of the Christians, who was stabbed to death by his students with a stylo on the back page Now available in English for the first time, Political Theology II is Carl Schmitt's last book.

On Feb. 21, 1989, due to projected revenue shortfalls, former Gov Thomas Kean, at Gov. James Florio's request, mandated a hiring freeze and budget cuts for the State of New Jersey. The State Police, then under Superintendent Clinton Pagano, kept us informed through letters as to the on-going status. In the three years since then, Gov. Florio has taken office and replaced Col. Pagano with Col. Justin Dintino. Gov. Florio recently lifted the hiring freeze and provided the State Police with the funds necessary to train the 113th recruit class. Since the hiring freeze has been lifted, we have been informed that we are no longer the 113th State Police recruit class. The State Police cite three factors in our termination; they are as follows: The formulation of a new job related written examination which satisfies the Consent Decree between the Division of State Police and the United States Dept of Justice. The significant amount of time which has lapsed since the previous selection process. Attrition in the group selected In addition to these factors, a college degree is now being required.

They use the phrase only polemically and derogatively, to express a total and categorical negation. But the joy of negating is a creative joy; it has the ability to produce from nothingness that which was negated, and therefore to create it dialectically. When a god creates a world from nothing, he then transforms nothingness into something utterly astonishing, namely something out of which a world can be created. Today, we don't even need a god for this any longer. Self-expression, self-affirmation and self-empowerment - one of the many phrases prefixed by 'self', a so-called auto-composition - are enough to allow a new and unforeseen world to emerge. These new worlds produce themselves and , moreover, they produce the conditions for their own possibility - at least those artificial laboratory conditions. The closure of any political theology that is at stake in this examination does not want to be associated with such athestic, anachistic or positivistic closures. The author of this polemical negation of political theology, Erik Peterson, is not a positivist like Auguste Comte, not an anarchist like Proudhon or Mikhai Bakunin, and not a scientist in the modern style. He is in fact a Christian theologian of great piety. He begins his closure with a dedication, Sancto Augustino and a prayer to the great church father as a preliminary remark. His closure is a theological closure: a closure of any political theology. This can not be the last word for any atheist or any non-theological observer. IT might be interesting for them only as a case of intra-theological self-critique and self-destruction, an unintended annulment of any belief in God being politically relevant, or of any socially relevant theology at all. Such a case is noted either with satisfaction or dismay. We are talk about a short, historio--philological treatise, which Erik Peterson published in 1935 with Jakob Hegner in Leipzig. ... My interpretation of the intent for Schmitt to examine and write Political Theology II in 1969, at advanced age of 81, dedicate this book to 70th birthday celebration of Hans Barion 16 Dec. 1969, is to imply and to seek the truth on total failure of the Catholic Church to stop Hitler's genocide at the end of the Third Reich dictatorship. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Guideline for the Reader The title Political Theology II refers to my book Political Theology, published by the same publisher in 1922 ( second edition , 1934). In the present study I am going to examine a short theological treatise from 1935 which has in the meantime become an academic myth. The myth informs us that this short treatise from 1935 demonstrated that all political theology is completely over The conclusion of the treatise claims something similar No one should want to disturb such a beautiful myth and it is , in fact, impossible to destroy it. My examination, therefore, will concentrate on the internal relation between the argument and the conclusion of this treatise. The complete theological oeuvre of its author, Prof. Erik Peterson, and in particular the elaboration of his theology from 1922 to 1960, is not the subject of my specific analysis If I dedicate such a defined and specific analysis of a treatise from the year 1935 to a great theologian, ecclesiologist, canon lawyer and historian of law like Hans Barion, for his 70th birthday, then I wish to prevent any obvious misunderstandings from the very beginning Barion's academic oeuvre is much too large and wide-ranging to be possibly honoured by the dedication of such a short essay. Barion is a jurist in the same league as Rudolph Sohm, one of hte great encyclopaedic researchers and teachers of jurisprudence. And I have to ask myself whether or not, by my opusculum, I create the impression of making an inadequate gesture, such that it might be better to omit the personal dedication. I have many objective and personal reasons for showing Hans Barion respect and for thanking him, not only for his scholarly publications, which are exemplary, insightful and very fruitful for me, but also for his keen interest in my effort in legal studies He has critically engaged with my ideas in three extended essays published in 1959, 1965 and 1968 The last of these examinations can be found in his fifth study on the Second Vatican Council and was published in the Festschrift Epirrhosis, for my 80th birthday in 1968 In it he analyses the problem of political theology Barion also speaks about Peterson's treatise. He states that a discussion of it is necessary, and he calls it a 'Parthian attack'. This phrase impressed me and provoked me to recall an old challenge and to rip the Parthian arrow from the wound. This is how my specific analysis arose, which is just a preliminary work for others and is little more than a report on a cathartic operation which I now submit as an expression of a companionship over forty years long, rich in theoretical, practical and personal experience. This companionship united a legal theorist with a canon lawyer in the spirit of their ius utrumque [twofold law]. The thematic development of my political theology from 1922 takes a general direction which departs from the ius reformandi [ right of reformation] of the sixteenth century, culminates in Hegel and is evident everywhere today, from political theology to political Christology.

The 2009 anthology, Was Mao Really a Monster: The Academic Response to Chang and Halliday's "Mao: The Unknown Story", edited by Gregor Benton and Lin Chun, brings together fourteen mostly critical previously published academic responses, including the reviews from China Journal. Benton and Lin write in their introduction that that "unlike the worldwide commercial media... most professional commentary has been disapproving." They challenge the assertion that Mao was responsible for 70 million deaths, since the number's origin is vague and substantiation shaky. They include an extensive list of further reviews.[32] Mobo Gao, Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Adelaide, wrote that The Unknown Story was "intellectually scandalous", saying that it "misinterprets evidence, ignores the existing literature, and makes sensationalist claims without proper evidence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti no. Mao valued human life as much as an individual CAN possibly do if one is surrounded by atheists, like all his other wives. Mao was a devout Buddhist until he was 15. Then Western Karl Marx books turned him into Nietzsche. And Chinese people believed in Nietzsche to lead them out of Imperialism of Western World.

Paul and Modernity Paul outbidding Moses for the salvation of Israel p56. There are two ways out of Paul. One is the way out into the church (Peter, the conformist tradition of Clement, the Pastoral letters). But there is another way out of Paul, which for me is the decisive one, that is, Marcion. You know the book by Harnack, the one he worked on for fifty years, with frightful theses at the end, that the whole Old Testament ought to be thrown out of the Bible. Indeed, Marcion sees himself as a disciple of Paul, in fact, as the real one. Presbyteros, he says of himself, and everything else is a mistake. And so what is Marcion's point? That Jesus Christ's father cannot be identical to the creator coeli et terrae. The Old Testament is perfectly all right and in good order, that is literally: it begins with the creation of this world by the creator -and just look at it, what a miserable creatio it is, in which there are so many mosquitoes. But Jesus Christ's father is not at all identical with him. Rather, he is the alien God, deus alienus, the other God. You can read upon the entire vocabulary in Harnack. ... p61 And now you will ask me in return: You can find this in Paul, that's one side emphasized by Marcion in the ingenuity of error. Paul, if you had asked him, would have answered: Of course Christ and the father of Jesus Christ are cut from the same cloth, namely the God of the Old Testament; that's absolutely clear. You need only consider Romans 9-11, with its infinite web of citations. ... 2. The Zealots of the Absolute and of Decision: Carl Schmitt and Karl Barth And now listen to Carl Schmitt's Political Theology The book begins with a bang: "Sovereign is he who decides on the state of exception. This is a jurist writing, not a theologian. But this is no praise of secularization, it exposes something. The law of the state doesn't know what it says because it operates with concepts whose ground, whose root, remains concealed from it. Because of amnesia, forgetfulness. And this is why castles are built that on the day of the true emergency collapse into nothing. ... Precisely a philosophy of concrete life must not withdraw from the exception and the extreme case, but must be interested in it to the highest degree. The exception can be more important to it than the rule, not because of a romantic irony for the paradoxical, but because of the seriousness of an insight that goes deeper than the clear generalizations inferred from what ordinarily repeats itself. The exception is more interesting than the norm. The normal proves nothing; the exception proves everything: it not only confirms the rule; rather, the rule exists only through the exception. In the exception the power of real life breaks through the crust of a mechanism that has become torpid by repetition. A Protestant theologian who demonstrated the vital intensity possible in theological reflection even in the nineteenth century stated: "The exception explains the universal and itself. And if one wants to study the universal correctly, one only needs to look around for a true exception. It reveals everything more clearly than does the universal itself. Eventually one grows weary of the incessant chatter about the universal; there are exceptions. If they cannot be explained, then the universal cannot be explained either. Generally, the difficulty is not noticed be cause one thinks the universal not with passion but with a comfortable superficiality The exception, however, thinks the universal with intense passion" ... p79. The proximity between Paul and Nietzsche is even greater. ... I would say that there are two types of philosophy. There is the ancient type of philosophy In essence it goes like this: Truth is difficult to attain, accessible only to a few, but always there. Generally speaking, that's Plato and Aristotle. There is another type of philosophy I would call it "having passed through Christ," Hegel: Truth is very difficult to attain and has to pass through all of history, but after that truth is for everyone.

It is up to Evangelicals, conservative Protestants, and Catholics to bear and teach the Tradition. Unfortunately, Evangelicals are fracturing and conservative Protestants generally have not accumulated an authoritative body of social teachings. As it stands now, orthodox Christians of all stripes will have to rely on the Catholic Church--with its rich tradition of natural law thinking--to provide the comprehensive moral teachings on these matters to help them offer both a churchly and public witness to moral truth. Let's hope Pope Francis talks and teaches about them. How about that? a full circle. btw, A Chinese period is a full circle, unlike Roman ASCII character. reading texts of the late and great Jacob Taubes { I started with reading Chapter concerning Paul and Moses ~p 15 - p65 upon this reading.} p74 if someone sums up their whole work on one page, this results in an intensity that has no parallel in Benjamine's work. And now listen to the aesthete's variant: Finale. -- The only philosophy that can be responsibly practiced in the face of despair is the attempt to con template all things as they would present themselves from standpoint of redemption. Knowledge has no light but that shed on the world by redemption: all else is reconstruction, mere technique. Perspective must be fashioned that displace and estrange the world, reveal it to be, with its rifts and crevices, as indigent and distorted as it will appear one day in the messianitc light. To gain such perspectives without artitrainess or violence, entirely from felt contact with its objects - this alone is the task of thought It is the simplest of all consummate negativity, once squarely faced, delineates the mirror-image of its opposite. But it is also the utterly impossible thing, because it presupposes a standpoint removed, even though by a hair's breadth, from the magic circle of existence, whereas we well know that any possible knowledge must not only be first wrested from what is, if it shall hold good, but is also marked, for this very reason, by the same distortion and indigence which it seeks to escape. The more passionately thought denies its conditionality for the sake of the unconditional, the ore unconsciously, and so calamitously, it is delivered up to the world. Even its own impossibilities it must at least comprehend for the sake of the possible. But beside the demand thus placed on thought, the question of the reality or unreality of redeption itself hardly matters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti p75 The political theology of Paul It is quite possible to understand Benjamin's text from the point of view of Barch's Epistle to the Romans.

Unfortunately the open source world has not been very amenable to things that stray beyond the scope of fairly narrow definitions of open source. There is a misunderstanding here. I don't support open source and I don't follow a definition of open source. I launched the free software movement. The basic idea of the free software movement is that software must respect the users' freedom. If a program is not free software, it is an injustice and should not exist. Trying to persuade me to relax our standards of freedom in the name of "open source" is like asking Edward Snowden to stop publishing leaks in the name of "national security". It's a fundamental conceptual confusion and a non-starter. Thus we have nothing equivalent to Creative Commons for software that would cover not just CC-BY and CC-BY-SA but also NC, ND and in your case some kind of time delay license. Any license which had restrictions comparable to NC or ND would fail to respect users' freedoms, so it would not be a free software license. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.

Amalek is alive and well today, albeit in a different form. No longer a foreign nation, today's Amalek is an internal enemy. We each have an Amalekite lurking within our very self. The inner Amalek is unholy cynicism. That little voice inside each of us that derides, belittles and attacks truth and goodness; our irrational tendency to mock people who act morally, to be cynical when we see altruism, to doubt our own or other's sincerity - these are the modern day Amalekites. They wage a lethal war with our soul. If we let it, cynicism can kill our every attempt to improve ourselves and smother any move towards refining our character and expressing our soul. There is only one effective response to Amalek's attacks: Annihilation. Don't argue back, it won't work. The power of cynicism is that it is irrational. The most inspiring, uplifting and profound moment of spiritual awakening can be dismissed in an instant by Amalek's sarcastic taunts. The most logical and sound arguments can be deflected with his quick one-liners -- "Get real!", "Who ya kidding?" or "Hey, you think you're so holy-moly?" There is no answer to such cheap pot-shots. You can't fight cynicism with reason. Just wipe it out. No dialogue. No compromise. Erase it from the face of your soul. Next time your cynical Amalekite raises his ugly head, stomp on it. Beat him at his own game: Do good things for no good reason. Be kind without an explanation. Love your fellow irrationally. Become the hero of your own inner battle, and free your captured soul--kill an Amalekite today.

Residents send little more than a tenth of that sum in income taxes to the state: New Jersey collected $12.8 billion in income taxes that year. Nevertheless, the total tax sum collected in New Jersey was $27.2 billion. Surprisingly, in terms of state tax burdens, was the sales tax, which provided $12 billion to the state budget.

This proof is the first to establish the existence of a finite bound for prime gaps, resolving a weak form of the twin prime conjecture. Zhang's paper was accepted by Annals of Mathematics in early May 2013.[4] The proof was refereed by leading experts in analytic number theory.[5] Then I found out, Prof. Kenneth Appel who hired Mr. Zhang from his menial job in NYC died on April 19, 2013. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Appel Who wouldn't say that Prof. Appel's latest if not greatest contribution to mathematics is his hiring of this unknown and not-young-any-more Chinese mathematician against all odds ? you have my sympathy constipated on Monday is NOT a good sign. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti 5 maths breakthrough that can be taught In elementary school in US?

Mediaid was part of social security act in 1965. The federal CMA ( Center for Medicare and Mediaid Administrtion) was the single authorative agency to oversee its operation. I am surprise that mainstream media did NOT mention anything about mediaid when speaking of the new Affordable Care Act. Essential ACA is to expand who qualifies for Mediaid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid more later foreigners and immigrants care NOT about using written alien laws in alien languages to their own advantages. They use their common sense and common moral codes. What's your point of view in healthcare law in US? Why do you think low of 'rich' folks. Richness is a rainbow color in my view. One is rich in one area, must be poorly in another. This couple, they are both over 80 years old, very educated. They used up all their personal savings and had no income as they are retired from active political activism against CCP. They never applied for any social benefits in US. The husband supports independence of Taiwan and is barred from returning to mainland China. The wife pays over $550 per month to Medicare program to cover her medical needs. From her doctor, she learned about Federal Mediaid program. The husband is not insured at all. Their application was in limbo because their 1 bed-room co-opt home in a remote retirement community hasn't found any new ownership after they moved in with wife's Hong Kong niece's newly purchased apartment.

This is an account of the contributions of a group of Soviet experts - three physicists and a historian - to ending the Cold War. They had the ear of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev; but they realized that any Soviet initiatives would have to work in Washington as well. So they reached out to partner with non-governmental organizations in the US that shared their goals. That's how I came to be involved. For the Nov. 1989 issue of PHYSICS TODAY (page 39) I wrote an article on nongovernmental arms-control research, which I subtitled 'the new Soviet connection.' For many years now, I've been intending to write another retrospective account of those men and events. When one of the four, Sergei Kapitsa, died last year at the age of 84, I could delay no longer. Frank von Hippel, a physicist and researcher on the technical basis for nuclear arms control, is a senior research physicist and emeritus professor of public and international affairs at Princeton Univ. in NJ. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Can you believe Mr. Bozo's saying?

But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed fro me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the foremost. But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience, making me an example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life.

And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, 'This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." So he told them this parable: "Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost." Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. "Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'

On the other hand, I just finished reading this article 'Law, Naturally - a book review' by Edward Feser in Aug 5, 2013 National Review. "George is in fact a proponent of the "new natural-law theory" invented by theologian Germain Grisez in the 1960s and further developed by George's teacher, Oxford legal theorist John Finnis. Mr. Edward Feser's review article is most illuminating. 'I am one of these 'old school' natural-law theorists, and one with whom George expresses polite disagreement in his book. one more excerpt 'The only effective antidotes to tyranny, George maintains, are the doctrine of enumerated powers, a sovereignty divided between the states and the federal government, and a citizenry that understands these institutions and is willing to uphold them. Yet a people given to license, and afflicted by the breakdown of the family that is its inevitable sequel, is not of a mind to see through the immediate benefits of big government to the dangers it poses to their freedom. On the contrary, where the family is weak, government is bound to become the great provider. In George's estimation, the libertarian tendency to try to combine limited government with relaxed morals is delusional. the sexual libertinism that underlies most of the support for abortion and 'same-sex marriage' is in fact the enemy of liberty, not its friend. Though a powerful critic of liberal theory and policy, George is on less firm ground when engaged in the positive task of expounding and defending natural law.... And for all their concessions to modern philosophy, they are still widely regarded as reactionaries: they might as well go the whole hog.

Make purses for yourself that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

Listened again through abridged audio book 'The Rule of Four'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rule_of_Four The author of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, "Poliphilo's Struggle of Love in a Dream", Francesco Colonna, was a humanist in Renaissance Florence. He was an ardent fan of knowledge, books, arts and anything that has a Renaissance identity on it. His passion for Greek and Roman literature was immense. But, one Girolamo Savonarola saw the exact opposite ; Florence is gradually turning into an free-thinking city, with its people starting to forget God and worshipping knowledge. As soon as he grasps power in Florence, Savonarola started the infamous Bonfire of the Vanities, a practice of burning books and art that seemed to contain elements of blasphemy. Colonna could not stand this practice and confronted Girolamo Savonarola himself as a sign of protest, only to be disappointed. Colonna started the building of a large underground vault to seal away a number of ancient books and pieces of art to preserve them from the followers of the priest. On one occasion, to prove his stand, Francesco and two of his men walked onto the raging inferno of the bonfire. As a result, Francesco met a fiery end. As he expected, the death of Francesco sparked cry against the reign of Savonarola, who was later hanged and burnt to ashes. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Girolamo_Savonarola http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Colonna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti growing UP ...

Need to make it into a play. Helena, veil of Cethesera(?) http://www.cerisepress.com/02/05/hds-helen-in-egypt-myth-symbol-and-subjectivity /view-all Described by critic Harold Bloom as "a culmination of a life in poetry," and also by feminist scholar Helen Sword as one of the "masterpieces of her career," this epic work is described throughout secondary literature about the author in terms of Doolittle's lifelong revisions of her own literary technique. Based upon an alternative version of the story of Helen of Troy that is derived from the texts of Euripides and Stesichorus of Sicily, in which the heroine is conveyed by the gods to Egypt at the onset of the Trojan War, H.D.'s late epic poem takes the form of verse that also draws heavily from the Imagist tradition of her early career, and is prefaced by the fictionalized prose of her mid-career writings. As in other works, this mythic structure becomes a framework for Doolittle to explore autobiographical experience, namely that of undergoing psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud in the 1930s. In doing so, H.D. presents Helen as entering a period of introspection similar to what one would experience in sessions with a psychoanalyst, whereby she considers her role in the masculine culture of warfare, much like Doolittle did after the First World War. For both Helen and the author, such introspection offered resolution of these traumatic memories while presenting new problems. Although portraying her sessions with Freud in a positive light, Doolittle perceived psychoanalysis as being an ideology rooted in many of the same assumptions about masculinity that render war such a destructive cultural mechanism. As in many of her earlier works, Doolittle uses myth throughout Helen in Egypt to offer a transhistorical view of these gender politics, comparing Helen's ancient cultural context, her own contemporary one, and the time that has elapsed between the two. In addressing these cultural assumptions about gender, the book often focuses on two competing aspects of the psychoanalytic process, which, for Doolittle, encapsulated this tension between personal revelation and the dangers of ideology. Frequently contrasting the realm of dream, symbol, and the subconscious that are accessed as a result of psychoanalysis with the secondary language of their interpretation, Doolittle continually searches for a way to negotiate them. Just as in many of her personal writings, she depicts some aspects of psychoanalysis as revelatory and others as being rooted in male ideology. Indeed, Helen maintains a shifting relationship to both the symbols of the subconscious and their secondary interpretation, exploring the myths of her own life and the ways they have been be construed. Often using objective images to evoke these subjective concepts, these themes are frequently mirrored in and complicated by the poetic style of these writings. Throughout the psychoanalytic texts that Doolittle worked from during her sessions with Freud, the objective image was understood as a sublimation of emotions and psychological conflicts into a concrete thing, which evokes ideas much larger than itself. Freud describes this type of image as a "visible, plastic symbol" in The Interpretation of Dreams, suggesting both its concreteness and its generative nature. And, as psychoanalyst Joseph Newirth argues, within the context of Freudian theory, these highly evocative images should be interpreted through "a process of translation," in which the primary language of the concrete thing can be understood through the "secondary process," and hence subjective language, of analysis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Chapter 4 [7] The Command or the adament rule of the inner circle of the warrior caste was 'bequest from the past'.

Yu 'The nature of the epic has been the subject of high critical interest during the past half-century, particularly since 1928 when Milman Parry produced overwhelming evidence for the oral source of the Homeric poems. The epic, however, is also a difficult genre to study. Its sheer length, the diversity of historical and cultural settings, the archaic and foreign languages, and even the strangeness of the medium itself are some of the problems the student and scholar face.' ... That such is indeed the nature of our experience may be gathered from the testimony of Notopoulos, who has, in my opinion, written one of the most intelligent discussions concerning the critical principles of an oral poetics. He writes: Thus one of the most important implications of th Parry's work is the need for an aesthetics which emanates from an understanding of the oral technique of composition, the form and mentality of oral poetry. This problem presented itself to me in the following way. When I was recording the heroic oral poetry in Greece I experienced it as part of the audience who was listening to the bard reshape his tradition. The next stage occurred when I replayed the tapes in my study. The last stage was when I transcribed some of the sung poetry into songless text and began studying it with the traditional philological concepts of criticism long ingrained in me. Suddenly the magic was gone - the audience, the bard, the sung tale. I asked myself what had happened, why was my text flat? Why was I one with the audience when I heard the song, completely unaware of contradictions, of bad joints, of the existence of formulae as formulae? The text had lost its magic. This happened again and again. The cause was not to be found in calling it poor poetry, for as soon as I replayed the tape the song got better, and it became better yet when I associated it with my memory of the bard singing it and the audience hearing it. I suddenly realized what happens to oral poetry when it becomes a text. It loses much of its magic; it loses even more when we evaluate it with the principles of literary criticism which ignore the forces at work in oral poetry. Now, the decisive difference between the modern oral poetry of Greece and Homer, I submit, lies precisely in the fact that the latter loses none of its magic even when it is read as a songless text. Or, to state the matter another way, not having heard the original performances we have no idea as to how much of the magic is lost; HOmer is one whose greatness shines through the inscribed text. For all the flaws and inconsistencies in the poems, for all the frequencies of his 'nodding,' his works are among those which, in the words of T.S. Eliot's tribute to Dante, 'one can only just hope to grow up to at the end of life.' This is not to deny that there are vast elements of oral culture and tradition preserved in the Homeric language. It is, however, to take with utmost seriousness the different conditions for the determination of intentionality, meaning, and effect: whereas we have the privilege of hearing viva voce the bards from modern Greece and NOvi Pazar, that privilege is forever lost with regard to Homer. To that extent, the criticism of the Homeric epics perhaps can never be based purely on an oral poetics, however it is conceived. In his perceptive rehearsal of the matter, Notopoulos rightly stresses the critical importance of the audience in the poetics of oral poetry. He also points out that the unity of the HOmeric as well as other early oral poems of Greece cannot be explained simply by reference to the organic principle oof Aristotle; it is rather to be sought in the paratactic style and method of organizing materials, the technique of the 'stitching of songs' feferred to in one of the Hesiodic fragments. Yet, even in the use of the medias res device in telling his story, a device which according to Notopoulos is familiar to all oral poetry, the Homeric poet displays an order of technical brilliance and mastery that are difficult to surpass. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i propose ...

The only complain I have is why Canadian film didn't have French subtitle? THIS REVIEW CONTAINS ONE BIG FAT SPOILER; BEST READ AFTER YOU'VE SEEN IT. "Monsieur Lazhar" is a remarkably understated, unsentimental film about things that movies tend to overstate and sentimentalize: a maverick teacher at odds with the administrative establishment, and schoolchildren trying to deal with the previous teacher's suicide. But the teacher isn't a heroic rebel, he's just a kind, humane person trying to bring literature to bear on grief and other life issues. Mohamed Fellag gives a wonderfully subtle, nuanced performance in the title role; I don't know how much work there is for Francophone Arabic actors in Canada, but I hope he gets a lot of it. And he doesn't prod the kids to "share their feelings" (this is, fortunately, Canada, not California), but he's a benign, encouraging presence when they feel the need to talk. He has his own griefs and sufferings, which he utilizes, but he's too dignified to let them get into the act. His way works better than what we get from the school administration, in the person of a touchy principal who just wants to keep a lid on things, and a staff psychologist whose surname, Latendresse, is surely ironic. What M. Lazhar gives his students is more coping than healing, but this is realistic. At one point, Lazhar tells his charges not to look for meaning in the teacher's death; there may not be any. Not everything works. I saw a lot more in this movie, and liked it better, on a second viewing than on my first.

From Tubeplus.ME Following a squash injury Robbie ends up in casualty where he meets the Donnelly family, whose school-girl daughter Beatrice was drugged and woke up in a field, having been raped. Evidence points to Oswald Cooper, who worked at her school and whose prescription drug matches the doping agent. However he has an alibi, a dinner party he gave for three former student friends, now all eminent men. Next day he is found garroted and castrated. Forensic evidence backs the view that he raped Beatrice and the alibi is proved to be false. A friend of his who is blackmailing the three guests is also garroted. It is clear that Oswald Cooper kept in with the great and the good by organizing scams and deceptions for them but his murderer was preserving a far more personal secret. Inspector Lewis and DS Hathaway investigate the rape of Beatrice Donnelly who was drugged while at a party. She was duped into thinking her father had left champagne for her but he had nothing to do with. It does mean the perpetrator knew them however. When Hathaway let's it slip to the girl's father that they are investigating Oswald Cooper, an IT technician at his daughter's school, Cooper is soon after found garroted and emasculated. Lewis finds himself investigating several prominent members of Oxford society and is admonished by Superintendent Innocent not to engage in chippy copper antics, as she calls it. It becomes apparent that 3 of Cooper's old school chums from long ago - all of whom have achieved a level of success that passed Cooper by - could have had a motive.

Consumers of Injustice* There was an incident in 1781 that symbolized the beginning of a new age for government and law. The Revolutionary War had been going on since 1775, and the final battle was fought at Yorktown on the coast of Virginia during the month of October, 1781. The British army, sent to subdue the colonists, found itself hopelessly wedged between a formidable French fleet on one side and the American forces under General Washington on the other. The British commander decided that capitulation was inevitable, and General Washington granted him generous and honorable terms. The last great body of imperial troops paraded on the Yorktown plain in surrender to a threadbare and despised collection of amateur soldiers, who had resolved to pursue their national destiny under a free, republican government. As the brilliant ranks of redcoated soldiers filed across the plateau, the British bandmaster signaled to his band and they began playing a popular English tune of the time. It was to this tune that the defeated army marched stiffly away from the scene of battle. Though no one knows even now whether the bandmaster selected the tune purposely or by chance, the name of the tune furnished an inspired commentary. It was "The World Turned Upside Down." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti let me elaborate...

Everyone fears God/Devil in his head. Salvation comes from lying down with woman, not out of love, not out of lust, not out of fear, but out of natural and juridical necessity that only rest can restore Adam's soul to Paradise. Here's from the last chapter of 'Intercourse' (Dirt/Death) Inferiority is not banal or incidental even when it happens to women. It is not a petty affliction like bad skin or circles under the eyes. It is not a superficial flaw in an otherwise perfect picture. It is not a minor irritation, nor is it a trivial inconvenience, an occasional aggravation, or a regrettable but harmless lapse in manners. It is not a 'point of view' that some people with soft skins find 'offensive'. It is the deep and destructive devaluing of a person in life, a shredding of dignity and self-respect, an imposed exile fro mhuman worth and human recognition, the forced alienation of a person from even the possibility of wholeness or internal integrity. Inferiority puts rightful self-love beyond reach, a dream fragmented by insult into a perpetually recurring nightmare; inferiority creates a person broken and humiliated inside. ... As Konrad Lorenzx wrote: "I doubt if it is possible to feel real affection for anybody who is in every respect one's inferior." ...

This point has to be reached. - FRANZX KAFKA by Andrea Dworkin "The most shcoking book any feminist have yet written" Grermaine Greer Its opening, on the first page, Dworkin described how Gustave raped his wife Alma Mahler. the second narative: A few years earlier, in 1887, another great artist, Count Leo Tolstoy, had been inspired by another great work of art - 'the Kreutzer Sonata' by Beethoven - to fuck his wife. His son and a music student played the sensual and wild sonataa in a concert ast his country estate. Tolstoy 'listened with tears in his eyes; then, during the presto, unable to control himself, he rose and went to the window where, gazing at the starry sky, he stifled a sob." that night, Sophie, the Countess Tolstoy, was impregnated with her thirteen child. The Count was 60, his wife 16 years younger. She had known him since she was 10; she was 18, he 34, when they married in Sept. 1862. Later, in Moscow, the County heard "the Kreutzer Sonana" again, this time in the company of an actor and a painter. This time more restrained, he wanted each to create a work of rt inspired by the sonata. Only he did. His sotry, The Kreutzer Sonana, is a powerful and distressing one. It combines an unfinished short story, 'the man who murdered his wife,' with a story told to Tolstoy by the painter about a stranger distraught with marital troubles met on a train; but its basic text is the Tolstoy marriage. The story is autobiographical, as is much of Tolstoy's fiction; and in The Kreutzer Sonata he uses the details of his sexual intercourse with Sophie, what the biographer henri Troyat called 'his periods of rut,' to show his feelings of deep repugnance for the wife he continues to fuck - and for the sex act itself. The repugnance is not only rooted in ongoing desire, but also in satiation, it too being real, a discrete phenomenon, and aversive. The desire is not free-floating and abstract, in the way of French philosophy. There is a real woman, Sophie, on whose body, inside whom, it is expressed; and when he is done with her, he puts her aside with rude indifference or cold distaste. Sophie's view of the great man was not reverential. One day at tea he spoke of a vegetarian menu that he had read and liked: almonds and bread. In her diary Sophie wrote: "I expect the person who wrote the menu practises vegetarianism as much as the author of the Kreutzer Sonata practises chastity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Freedom of speech vs. freedom of movement "Freedom of speech (speech without consequence) is essential.

Nicolay Berdyayev, whose work marks a significant point of intersection between EAst and West, explains the only reason for history: "God wanted freedom, because the world's original mystery, its original drama ...is the mystery and drama of freedom. Nature and mankind embedded in nature, have no history. Freedom, however, can only reveal itself in apo-stasy. For as long as freedom is caught up in the divine cycle of Nature, it is subject to the necessity of God and Nature. A non posse peccare is no different from a compulsion to do good. Only mankind's answer to the word of God, which is essentially a negative one is evidence of human freedom. Therefore, the freedom of negation is the foundation of history. The labyrinth of this world is the state of error. We have not just begun to err, but are constantly doing so, because we have always been in error. Error is not some well-defined district on the outskirts, but is part of the world's very constitution. But if this error which holds sway throughout the world is experienced for what it is, then the way to avoid it becomes clear. Knowledge of error, as error, is the pathway to escape from error on the way to the revelation of the truth. The relationship of interdependence between time and history, the identical origin of which has been recognized as eternity, can now be completely unsealed. ...Ultimately, therefore, freedom is inextricably constitutive and constituted. The question is: How does finite freedom, which is an element of time, relate to absolute freedom, an element of eternity? This relationship can be determined in theistic-transcendental, pantheistic-immanent, and atheistic-materialistic terms. Late antiquity and German Idealism merge God and the world in an aesthetic-religious way, resulting in a strange interchangeability of 'possible' and 'real' that characterizes Plotin as well as Fichte and Hegel. The possible has already become a reality, even if only 'as a concept." Theistic-transcendental and atheistic-materialistic philosophy are apo-calyptic because they are only complete when revelation has taken its course. From a theistic-transcendental viewpoint, the Eschaton reveals the central point of God and the world from above; from an atheistic, materialistic viewpoint, the center is revealed from below. Both perspective require a leap: from above into the absurdity below; from below, the realm of necessity, up into the realm of freedom. The situations of Marx and Kerkegaard correspond to one another in this way. Knowledge of causal necessity and belief in freedom are irreconcilable, yet necessity and freedom 'must' meet in a moment uncoupled from time. Somewhere freedom must break the closed circle of the world. However, in both modifications 'must' assumes a different meaning, depending on which one applies. Marx wants to create the absolute out of a mankind subject to natural frailty; Kierkegaard relies on a God with Whom nothing is impossible.

Her answer is a groundbreaking biography of Sergio Vieira de Mello. In nearly four decades of work for the United Nations, Sergio distinguished himself as the consummate humanitarian, able to negotiate with-and often charm-cold war military dictators, Marxist jungle radicals, reckless warlords, and nationalist and sectarian militia leaders. His life, and death in a terrorist attack on UN Headquarters in Iraq in 2003, helps frame many of the world's crises and humanitarian challenges of the last few decades. By taking the measure of this remarkable man's life and career, Power offers a fascinating answer to the question: Who possesses the moral authority, the political sense, and the military and economic heft to protect human life and bring peace to the unruly new world order? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lY1vagEv8o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnYLdH-YEdM English automatic captions...

The analogy between the Spanish guerilla war experienced by the Prussian General Staff (1808-13) and the partisan warfare in Indochina and Algeria experienced by the French General Staff (1950-60) is striking. But so are the great differences, which require no further comment. There is a relationhip in the core situation and in many individual fates. Yet, this should not be exaggerated abstractly, as if these situations and fates can be identified with the theories and constructions of all the defeated armies of world history. That would be ridiculous. The case of Prussian General Ludendorff also is in many respects different from that of the Left-Republican Salan. ... p58. Here lies the deepest origin of the 'ideological' differences between Soviet Russian Communism and Chinese Communism. But it also can be traced to an inner contradiction in the situation of Mao, who linked a universal, absolute, global enemy lacking any territorial space - the marxist class enemy - with a territorially limited, real enemy of the Chinese-Asiastic offensive against capitalist colonialism. It is the antithesis of One World, i.e., a political unity of the earth and its humanity, and a plurality of Grossraumen, which are rationally balanced internally and in relation to one another. In a poem titled Kunlun, Mao depicted the pluralistic image of a new nomos of the earth: If I could stand above the heavens, I would draw my sword And cut you in three parts: One piece for Europe, One piece for America, One piece left for China. Then peace would rule the world. you are brainwashed Mao is by far the greatest non-Western theorist of modern partisan warfare.

Deeply rooted in neo-Confucianism, but also well known as a man of Western learning, Yang stressed an ethical framework very much oriented toward social change. The students who looked to this mentor for intellectual guidance absorbed a strong sense of responsibility to society, with an emphasis on education and morality that took on a spiritual dimension. The article also looks at how the new school system and the scholars like Yang who taught in it helped to nurture study societies such as the Xinmin xuehui that were of central importance to the formation and growth of the CCP. a portrait of Mao in his formative years http://history.cultural-china.com/en/46H9449H13447.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Mao is a leader of the People Greater than Hitler, because he pushed through his idealism by all means and succeeded, at least as long as he lived.

The German language makes no distinction between enemy (Feind), i.e., a legitimate opponent, whom one fights according to recognized rules and whom one does not discriminate against as a criminal, and a foe, i.e., a lawless opponent, whom one must fight to the death and destroy. For this reason, Schmitt was forced to distinguish between the 'real enemy' and the 'absolute enemy." For reference, see G.L. Ulmen, "Return of the Foe," and George Schwab, "Enemy or Foe: A Conflict of Modern Politics" In the theory of war, it is always the distinction of enmity that gives war its meaning and character. Every attempt to bracket or limit war must have in view that, in relation to the concept of war, enmity is the primary concept, and that the distinction among different types of war presupposes a distinction among different types of enmity. Otherwise, all efforts to bracket or limit war are mere play that do not stand in the way of the outbreak of real enmity. After the Napoleonic wars, irregular war was dislodged from the general consciousness of European theologians, philosophers, and jurists. In fact, there were friends of peace, who saw the end of war altogether in the abolition and proscription of conventional war in the 1907 Hague Convention; and there were jurists who held that every theory of just war is eo ipso just, as taught by Thomas Aquinas. Nobody had an inkling of what the unleashing of irregular war meant. Nobody had thought of the impact that a victory of the civilian over the soldier would have, when one day the citizen would put on the uniform, while the partisan takes it off in order to fight without one. Precisely this lack of concrete thinking culminated in the destructive work of professional revolutionaries. That was a great misfortune because, with the bracketing of war, European humanity had achieved something extraordinary: renunciation of the criminalization of the opponent, i.e., the relativization of enmity, the hegation of aboslute enmity. That really was extraordinary, even an incredibly human accomplishment, that men disclaimed a discrimination and denigration of the enemy. Even that appears to be in doubt as a result of the partisan. The most extreme intensity is part of the partisan's criteria of political engagement. When Che Guevara said "The partisan is the Jesuit of war," he was thinking of the unconditional nature of political engagement. The personal history of every famous partisan, from Empecinado on, affirms this fact. In enmity, a person who has lost his right seeks to regain it; in enmity, he finds the meaning of his cause and the meaning of right when the framework of protection and obedience within which he formerly lived breaks up, or when the web of legal norms that he formerly could expect of law and a sense of justice is torn apart. Then, the conventional play ceases. Yet, the dissolution of this legal protection still need not lead to the partisan.... The partisan has a real, but not an absolute enemy. That follows from the telluric character of the partisan. He defends a peice of land with which he has an autochthonous relation. His fundamental position remains defensive, despite the intensive mobility of his tactics. He comports himself in the same manner as did Joan of Arc before the clerical court. She was no partisan. She fought a regular war against the English. When the clerical judge asked her the question - a theologically-loaded question - whether she was contending that God hated the English, she answered:" I do not know whether God loves or hates English; I only know that they must be drived out of France." Every normal partisan would have given this answer in defense of the national soil. Such a fundamentally defensive position also presupposes a fundamental limitation of enmity. the real enemy will not be declared to be an abolute enemy, also not the last enemy of mankind. Lenin shifted the conceptual center of gravity from war to politics, i.e., to the distinction of friend and enemy. That was significant and, following Clausewitz, a logical continuation of the idea that war is a continuation of politics. But Lenin, as a professional revolutionary of global civil war, went still further and turned the real enemy into an absolute enemy. Clausewitz spoke of absolute war, but always presupposed the regularity of an existing state. He could not conceive of a state becoming an instrument of a party, and of a party that gives orders to the state. With the absolutization of the party, the partisan also became absolute and a bearer of absolute enmity. Today, it is not difficult to see through the intellectual artifice produced by this change of the enemy concept. By comparison, another type of absolutization of the enemy is much more difficult to refute today, because the existing reality of the nuclear age appears to be immanent. In a world in which opponents mutually consign each other to the abyss of total devaluation before they can be destroyed physically, new types of absolute enmity must be created. Enmity becomes so frightful that perhaps one no longer should speak of the enemy or enmity, and both should be outlawed and damned in all their forms before the work of destruction can begin. Then, the destruction will be completely abstract and completely absolute. In general, it no longer would be directed against an enemy, but rather would serve as a given objective realization of the highest values, for which no price would be too high. Only the denial of real enmity paves the way for the destructive work of absolute enmity. In 1914, the nations and governments of Europe stumbled into World War I without real enmity. Real enmity arose only out of the war, when a conventional state war of European international law began, and ended with a global civil war of reolutionary class enmity. Who can prevent unexpected new types of enmity from arising in an analogous, but ever more intensified way, whose fulfillment will produce unexpected new forms of a new partisan? The theoretician can do no more than verify concepts and call things by name. the theory of the partisan flows into the question of the concept of the political, into the question of the real enemy and of a new nomos of the earth.

And two books by Carl Schmitt plus a third one from questia. It starts to make sense what their alliances, NOT in life everlasting but in this life on earth for their people, could be. Hereby I first present Appendix in Carl Schmitt's 'Political Theology II', dedicated to Hans Barion, on his seventieth birthday 16 December 1969. This is his purpose of writing the book, counter-attack Erik Peterson. Appendix: 'Peterson's Conclusion and Concluding Footnote Peterson, Eric, Der Monotheismus als Politisches Problem. Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Politischen Theologie im Imperium Romanum (Leipzig: Jakob Hegner, 1935). Conclusion, pp.98-100 Monotheism as a political problem emerged from the Hellenistic transformation of the Jewish belief in God. Due to the fact that the God of the Jews was amalgamated with the monarchic principle of Greek philosophy, the concept of divine monarchy, in the first instance, had the function of a politico-theological slogan for Jewish progaganda. This politico-theological slogan has subsequently been adopted by the church during its expansion into the Roman Empire. It was then confronted with the idea of a pagan political-theology, according to which the divine monarch had to reign while the national God had to govern. In order to confront this pagan theology, which was designed for the Roman Empire, the Christian side now claimed the national gods were not even able to govern because, due to the Roman Empire, the nationalist pluralism had been dissolved. In this spirit, the pax Augusta was then interpreted as the fulfilment of the Old Testament's eschatological prophecy. Nevertheless, the doctrine of the divine monarchy had to fall before the trinitarian dogma and the interpretation of the Pax Augusta had to fall before the Christian eschatology. By that, not only monotheism as a political problem was resolved theologically, and the Christian faith liberated from the concatenation with the Roman Empire, but also, fundamentally, a break was make with any 'political theology' which abused the Christian proclamation for the justification of a political situation. Only within Judaism or paganism can something like 'political theology' exist. But the Christian proclamation of the triune God is beyond Judaism and paganism, because the mystery of the Trinity only exists in the divinity iteself, not in the creature. Likewise, the peace that the Christian seeks is not granted by any Caesar, but is only a gift by him who is 'higher than all rationally'. SO IN MY VIEW, THE STICKING POINT IS WHAT CHINESE PHILOSOPHERS HAD BEEN ARGUING ALL ALONG: JUSTICE AND PEACE CANNOT RECONCILE IN HUMAN AFFAIRS. ORIENTALS CHOSE PEACE. OCCIDENTAL CHOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE AMONG THEMSELVES AND PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti check out books by and about ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Sohm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti lol stepped down after.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margot_K%C3%A4%C3%9Fmann an office from which she stepped down on 24 February 2010 following a drunk-driving incident that can't be true. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Tertullian p111 `Tertullian is the prototype of a reflection on the theological possibilities of specific legal thinking. He is still mentioned in Peterson's treatise from 1935, although no longer as the legalising theologian contrasted to the politicising theologian Eusebius, but through a critique of his theologically defective interpretation of the doctrine of Trinity in terms of a 'theory of state'. However, it remains a test case of decisive significance for the general relation between theology and jurisprudence that the jurist Tertullian insisted on the charisma of the martyr in the crucial moment of the institutionalisation [of the church] and that he opposed the full transformation of that charisma into a charisma of the office. This was the soteriological and historical moment when the ruling extra ecclesiam nulla salus ['there is no salvation outside the church'] was formulated by St. Cyprian. Arhold T. Ehrhard discusses that moment in volume two of his three-wolume work... under the title ['The Christian REvolution'] (Tugingen, 1959). The legal theory of the church was brought into being by Tertullian, and Cyprian was the first one to give it the formulation which made a legal organisation 'perfect'; whereas the jurist Tertullian in particular opposed such juridical perfection by insisting on the non-official charisma of the martyr, which Cyprian rejected in favour of the priestly charisma of the office. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti p114 The assertive power of the pretentious and seemingly superior verdict goes no further than a sharp, but only abstract-absolute, declaration of competence or incompetence. The rest is equivocation. A conflict is always a struggle between organizations and institutions in the sense of concrete orders. It is a struggle of institutions over stances. Substances must first of all have found their form; they must have brought into a formation before they can actually encounter each other as contesting subjects in a conflict, that is, as parties belligerantes. The distinction between substance and instance might sound reminiscent of Aristotelian hylomorphism; however, it is both meaningful in practice and correct in theory. If both parties in the conflict are unable to negotiate their right of co-determination in terms of a concordat, the conflict of competences must end in the same way as the confessional civil wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth century: either in a precise answer to the big question quis judicabit? ['who will decid?] or in an equally precise itio in partes ['return to the reigion' - that is, in a spatially clear territorial or regional demarcation, in accordance with the principle cuius regio eius religio ['who rules defines the creed']. In the interim, in that ambivalent situation of an 'impure mixture', both parties in the conflict are keen to point out the limits of each other's competences and declare: Silete in munere alieno! ['Mind your own business!'] This is the beginnin tof a new epoch in the academic discipline of international law, the rational and humane cultivation of the war between states in the ius publicum Europaeum [European public law]. Until the Day of Judgement, the Augustinian teaching on the two kingdoms will have to face the twofold open questions: who will decide? who will interpret? who answers in concreto, on behalf of the concrete, autonomously acting human being, the question of what is spiritual, what is worldly and what is the case with the res mistae, which, in the interval between the first and the second arrival of the Lord, constitute, as a matter of fact, the entire earthly existence of this spiritual-worldly, spiritual-temporal, double-creature called a human being? This is the big question posed by Thomas Hobbes, which is at the centre of my treatise Political Theology from 1922 and which led to a theory of decisionism and of the inner logic of the act. This is, as one can see, the question about the legitimation of any reformation and revolution; the question of the ius reformandi and then, in the later phase, the structurally different question of the ius revolutionis. Hans Barion has pointed out in the Savigny Zeitschrift that Thomas Hobbes theory of state sovereignty is, to the last detail, the antithetical counterpart to John of Salisbury's hierocratic teaching. In my essay on Hobbes, 'Die vollendete Reformation', I have called attention to the fact that this has opened a new historical horizon for the interpretation of Hobbes.

If every unity implies a duality and therefore the possibility of uproar, or stasis, is immanent, then theology seems to become 'stasiology'. Goethe's dictum - which he himself may have formulated in Latin - has a Christological origin. I found out that it is taken from the fragments of Catherina von Siena by Jakob Michael Lenz, in which Catherine, fleeing her father, laments: [My father looks menacingly at me like a loving and aggrieved God. But would he have both hands stretched out for me - God against God' ( she draws a small crucifix from her bosom and kisses it) 'Save, save me My Jesus, whom I follow, from his arms! ... Save, save me from my father And his love, his tyranny.'] { sye notes: This so strongly reminds me of Mozart's older sister, under the tyranny of the Father. } In a conversation Goethe had with Chancellor Friedrich von Muller (10 October 1823), he said: the doctrine of Christ's divinity supports despotism, it is even its requirement. The following thesis is not an atetmpt to reify Bluomenberg's ideas; it just projects a counter-image which now I see much more clearly in order to understand my own position more sharply. The key question which offers itself to me about the political concerns the reality of an enemy whose concrete possibility I can still see in its entirely detheologised counter-image. Its transposition from the old political theology into a pretentious and totally new, purely secular and humane humanity needs to be watched closely and critically, for it remains indeed the permanent function of any scientific struggle for knowledge. A complete de-theologised and modern-scientific closure of any political theology could therefore be formulated in the following train of thought: 1. 2. 3. [ He snatched the thunder ball from heaven, and sends out new thunder balls. He snathed away heaven from God and spread out new realms. Man is an interchangeable thing to man; No one is against man except man himself. I conclude with this question. Which of these three freedoms is intrinsically the most intense and aggressive: scientific neutrality, the technical and industrial freedom of production or the arbitrary nature of free human utilisation? Should this question be ruled out of court on academic grounds, because the word 'aggressive' has become value-free, then the situation would be clear: stat quo ratione Libertas, et Novitas pro Libertate [ Freedom replaces Reason, and NOvelty replaces Freedom.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti NJ at risk ... http://mathbabe.org/2013/05/28/new-jersey-at-risk-of-implementing-untested-vam-l ike-teacher-evaluation-model/ And the least if I forgot to mention what I heard on this morning News: President Obama is coming to inspect Jersey Shore today!

In the middle of the other exorcism, when asked whether the possession was by multiple spirits, the patient with hooded, serpentine eyes answered quietly, almost in a hiss, "They all belong to me." p183 Genuinely possession, as far as we know, is very rare. Human evil, on the other hand, is common. Since the relationship between possession and ordinary evil is obscure at best, it would be highly unrealistic to devote half these pages to the subject. Nonetheless, I might be tempted to do so were it not for the fact that there is a book that describes quite well five cases of possession - Malachi Martin's 'Hostage to the Devil'. MyLai: an examination of group evil p212 THE CRIMES On the morning of march 16, 1968, elements of Task Force Barker moved into a small group of hamlets known collectively as MyLai in the Quang Ngai province of South Vietnam. It was intended to be a typical 'search-and-destroy' mission' - that is, the American troops were searching for Vietcong soldiers so as to destroy them. ... The most large-scale killings occurred in the particular hamlet of MyLai 4. There the first platoon of Charlie Company, under the command of Lt. William L. Calley Jr., herded villagers into groups of twenty to forty or more, who were then slaughtered by rifle fire, machine gun fire, or grenades. ...The killing took a long time. It went on throughout the morning. Only one person tried to stop it. He was a helicopter pilot, a warrant officer, flying in support of the search-and-destroy mission. Even from the air he could see what was happening. He landed on the ground and attempted to talk to the troops, to no avail. Back in the air again, he radioed to headquarters and superior officers, who seemed unconcerned. So he gave up and went about his business. ...

Lucy: hey E.T.,do you know why I don't believe in UFOs? E.T.: ( setting up his hearing aid ....) Lucy: If there were UFOs, it would have to sense its loss of a native son like you. The next instance, it would land right here and now to take you BACK to its base, with all your SHELL scripts.

Lucy: ( turning away from E.T. ...humming 'Lucy in the sky, let there be more light') the creepy part of this creepy show What creeps me out is that this is all based on first-person confession and first person observation. None of the stuff needs to be made up except characters name and a few descriptive highlighting here and there. Also, system script and home-made lemonade are named 'openfirectl' vs. '/usr/local/sbin/startOpenFire.sh'. little boy's choking explaination is: E.T.: the "home-grown" stop script was already in place when i was asked to work with this, i've never been enlightened on this openfirectl script; and i assume(stopOpenfire.sh) it was provided from whatever vendor in this manor for a reason, since there are no executable bits set on this other program(openfirectl) in either development or production . and note that the production version of stopOpenfire which i slightly augmented tries to do a soft kill first; and if you notice the stop section of openfirectl script does the same thing(kill $openfirepid). Lucy: the difference, most importantly, is the $pid obtained from other java JMX process on the server, e.g. from admin console the server start time is off many days. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti the legand of Zelda have you seen her around now ?

At the outset certainly such a distinciton does work: descriptive linguistics, as staetd in Bloomfield's Language (1933), was conceived asa purely empirical description of language facts; on the contrary, Chomsky's Syntactic Structures (1957), that followed a well known rejection of positivism in his reiew of Skinner's Verbal Behavior, paid close attention to mental facts as expressed by deep structures, that is, it emphasized intuitive knowledge from an idealistic point of view; F. de Saussure's structuralist position, as adopted in his Cours de linguistique general (1916), could be called a phenomenological approach due to his stressing of the oppositive, relative, and negative nature of linguistic events, that is the fact that they are not understandable without the consciousness of other events that they replace.

Lincohn. That says much about his Harvard Law degree and Harvard Education. Chapter 7 The Domestication of Political Rhetoric "It will become all one thing, or all the other." A. Lincoln June 16,1858. Lincohn's "Spot Resolutions" were introduced in the House of Representatives on Dec. 22, 1847. In legalistic language Lincoln tried to force President Polk to admit that the actual spot where fighting began was in Mexico, not the United States, if true, that made the United States the aggressor... Lincoln went to the heart of the matter and pointed out that such a position went beyond even what the President or his supporters argued. "Their only positions," Lincoln continued, "are first, that the soil was ours where hostilities commenced, and second, that whether it was rightfully ours or not, Congress had annexed it, and the President, for that reason was bound to defend it..." Both these positions, Lincoln felt, were manifestly wrong and yet tenaciously clung to. The danger lay in the principle and the precedent: "Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure." And that was exactly what the framers of the Constitution sought to avoid. Kings had always made wars and impoverished their people. Our Constitution was deliberately designed to preclude such action. Your view, Lincoln concluded in his letter to Herndon, would place our Presidents where kings have always stood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti facebook is for the angelic faces to go but there's always the darkside of the moon. connecting the dots offline, one never know if the pattern emerged is pure imagination or for real. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Raffles anyone here ever won raffles for things as BIG as 2013 Smart Car 3 years lease deal? well, I just entered. order# 1916. $101 for 3 chances.

High on a hill and far from city water or an electrical grid, the crumbling cow shed was far from the conventional image of luxury estate, but Carlos and Camino could envision a transformation. This part of the province of Cceres (near the Portuguese border) has been home to generations of cattle ranchers and the Alonsos recognized the wisdom those who came before them. Building on the instinctual knowledge of the ranchers before them, the Alonsos preserved much of the old stable. The old watering trough became a fountain and interior patio where water now helps cool the home in summer. The hay loft above became bedrooms. The facade is still the original stone, though given the homes crumbling state, they were forced to add cement behind it. Without access to the grid, the Alonsos added photovoltaics and hydro power and worked to ensure the home wouldn't use much energy. The original position of the stable worked to their favor. The southern exposure allows for the sun to be the main source of heat during the winter. The Alonsos also added large wooden shutters that slide closed like a second skin, covering the large windows at night to trap in most of the home's daily solar heat gain. The home was located far from city water, but perfectly positioned below two streams that flow year round. Since there is no one else above the home on the mountain, the water is pure and can be used for drinking and bathing (after a simple filter and rest period). Greywater is purified and the water is put back to use on the property for watering the fields. On those fields, cattle still graze. Even local rancher Jos Vicente Jimnez, whose family has worked this land for generations, is still here. His cattle graze the property and he clearly is pleased the Alonsos have rescued the old stable from certain ruin.

To understand how we got here, we need a history lesson. In the late 1800s NJ was swept by a twisted political phenomenon now referred to as "boroughtis". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boroughitis As NJ townships grew in population there were calls for setting up municipal police departments, schools, public works departments and the like. Many residents didn't see a need for these services or, they refused to be taxed for these services because they felt that one group of town residents would disproportionately benefit from said services, i.e. "Why should we pay for THOSE people." The motivations for forming these new municipalities were greed, envy, shortsightedness, and bigotry. For these same reasons there is tremendous resistance to even minor changes in the current status quo. Case in point: Midland Township. How many people here have heard of Midland Township in Bergen County? No. It existed until 1929. At one time Midland Township consisted of what are today the towns of Rochelle Park, Maywood, Paramus, River Edge and Oradell. Maywood was first to split off in 1894 as one of the new railroad "suburbs". Soon after, what is today River Edge and Oradell left. What remained of Midland Township is today Rochelle Park and Paramus. In 1922 the farmers in what is today Paramus voted to split off from Midland Township because they refused to be taxed for newly installed street lights on Rochelle Avenue. In 1929 what was left of Midland Township changed its name to Rochelle Park. This was the process that created dozens of these one-sqare-mile joke towns. The really sad part? In what was seen as a solution to avoid municipal taxation has now resulted in the highest rate of municipal taxation in the entire US. As others have pointed out, undoing this mess will not be easy. NJ is now a state where government is all about crony politics and nepotism. There are too many entrenched interests sucking in too much money. The only way to kill this thing is to starve it of cash. From here on out Trenton should put these Podunk towns on notice: Any town of less then 10K population will no longer receive a single cent of state or county money. Want to keep your one-stop-sign town? You pay for it yourselves. I'm not holding my breath. What's required to implement the above is political will, and it appears that no one in Trenton has a backbone. WHO should I select and support to run FOR MAYOR OF TRENTON.

Hunt Physics Today Nov. 2012. "Looking more deeply into circuit theory, Heaviside also found that adding more inductance to the circuit - for instance, by inserting coils at regular intervals along the transmission cable - would reduce the distortion even further. The extra inductance, he explained, would help carry the waves along in much the same way that loading a clothesline with birdshot makes it better abel to convey transverse waves. He later joked that his name and inductive loading were 'naturally and providentially connected. You heavify a line by the process of heavification." Whatever one called it, inductive loading offered a relatively cheap and easy way to improve telephone transmission, and AT&T and other companies later used it with great success. Heaviside never patented his idea, so he never made a penny from it' the money instead went to Serbian-born American physicist Michael Pupin, who secured a patent on inductive loading in 1899 and sold the rights, under somewhat shady circumstances, to AT&T for $500,000. Heaviside came to despise Pupin and AT&T, but he had little legal recourse... ... In those days the Royal Society would publish in its proceedings virtually anything one of its fellows submitted, and in 1893 Heaviside sent in the first two installments of a paper "On operators in physical mathematics." But pure mathematicians objected to the cavalier way he handled divergent series, and when he submitted a third installment, it was sent to a referee and rejected. Heaviside was incensed; if handled properly, he said, his methods gave demonstrably right answers, and that ought to be justification enough. "Shall I refuse my dinner," he said, "because I do not fully understand the process of digestion?" Despite the objections of 'rigorists," Heaviside's operator methods later came into wide use, especially among engineers, and probably influenced the thinking of Paul Dirac, who learned them during his initial training as an electrical engineer. In a passage he once wrote about Maxwell but that night eqaully apply to himself, Heaviside reflected on what he called the true doctrine of the immortality of the soul - not in its religious sense, which he thought quite mistaken, but in the 'far nobler sense" of the la sting effect that each person exerts on the world and that continues after his or her death. Some souls, he said, are in this sense very great: That of a Shakespeare or a Newton is stupendous. Such men live the best parts of their lives after they shuffle off the mortal coil and fall into the grave. Maxwell was one of those men. His soul will live and grow for long to come, and, thousands of years hence, it will shine as one of the bright stars of the past, whose light takes ages to reach us, amongst the crowd of others, not the least bright. Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey, Look out on a summer's day, With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and the daffodils, Catch the breeze and the winter chills, In colors on the snowy linen land. Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now. Starry, starry night. Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue. Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain, Weathered faces lined in pain, Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now. For they could not love you, But still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night, You took your life, as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you. Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls, Frameless head on nameless walls, With eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met, The ragged men in the ragged clothes, The silver thorn of bloody rose, Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they're not listening still.

After we published an article or paper that she found especially interesting, she would ask for 50 to 70 copies, and rifle them off to her network of old navy friends and classmates around the globe. Nearly every time I visited home this past decade my mother has handed me a small stack of letters from her friends making comments about a column that my daughter or I have written in the Observer. In addition to her friends she occasionally sent the Observer to George W. Bush in the White House, to Governor Lowell Weicker, to Senator Chris Dodd and to Senator Joe Lieberman. All but the President wrote back. My mother even corresponded with Republican-American publisher William J. Pape after she found out that her father, and his father, were classmates at the United States Naval Academy in 1922. And even though the Observer has been harshly critical of the Republican-American's political bias, Bill Pape wrote a nice letter back to my Mom. Politics fascinated my mother, but she was especially in-tune with policies that helped people, not corporations. Both of her parents were staunch Republicans and they often called her "a bleeding heart liberal." And she was. She cared about those who didn't have enough food to eat, or didn't receive adequate medical attention. She sent money to the Southern Poverty Law Center, sponsored children in the Philippine Islands, bought farm animals for third world families through the Heifer Project, and was a staunch supporter of the Free Tibet movement. http://waterburyobserver.org/node/33 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti just to chime in with your rant love this reader's commentary "if you take everybody's guns away there would be technically zero gun deaths. if you kill every single person in america, there will be zero unemployment rate." http://www.mediaite.com/tv/piers-morgan-dana-loesch-burst-into-shoutfest-over-gu n-control-how-many-deaths-are-okay-to-you/ that's why rusty should ban stopprocrastinating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti abuse report still works on K5 Filed report about stopprocrastinating.

I heard Father Greg Boyle, founder of Homeboy network in Los Angelos's talk last night. I am most interested at his approach of understanding street violence. According to father Greg, not all violence springs from conflicts. When there is no conflict, it makes no sense to draft any peace treaty. Father Greg nailed the difference between truce and peace treaty which I had trouble comprehending. In a sense, Conflicts bring parties to a peace treaty and agreement on their differences. Violence without defining conflicts is a lot harder to deal with since one side had experience of order and peace and had nothing to lose and had no imagination of anything different from how they were brought up into the violent scene. Conflicts are like 'discrimination' even discrimination against sex and race. Without discrimination, there can be no truth in equality. violence is the only way out of a walking dead violence is the only way out of walking dead existence ?

A year earlier he had defied opposition from farmers and from within the DPJ to tell the countries working to form the TPP that Japan would begin consultations about its participation in formal negotiations. The proposed trade agreement was controversial because it would require Japan to eliminate all tariffs on farm products and other goods and services. As Noda became mired in the nuclear and tax controversies in the first half of the year, he opted to pursue the TPP more slowly than the pace of other governments interested in the agreement. He thus could only watch as Mexico and Canada quickly brokered deals to enter into formal negotiations. Once the consumption-tax increase had passed, however, Noda returned to the TPP issue, announcing on November 10 that in the upcoming election the DPJ would campaign on a platform of bringing Japan into the TPP.

I feel as if he's trying to create more of a shock factor (even the way he's presenting himself within the video) and takes attention away from the real problem that exists within the society. My belief is that racial discrimination occurs in Japan but in a smaller prevalence compared to the U.S. for a very good reason... because ethnically, 98.5% of the population is Japanese and even the few Zainichi's are often visually hard to distinguish. Most of the students probably couldn't identify with it simply because they were never exposed to it. However, I believe there is discrimination at a more fundamental level and at a degree far more severe than in the United States. Many cultural anthropologists sees Japan as a prime example of a shame-based society. Discriminations happen daily based on socio-economic levels, education, lifestyle, and looks. Just simply showing "Eye of the Storm"(brown eyes/blue eyes which is almost irrelevant in Japan) or speaking of Burakumin (a problem which is nearly disappearing) makes the topic more dramatic, however, were the students really able to relate it to themselves? Or was it more a feel good curriculum blinding the students away from true nature of discrimination which probably differs a lot from Western cultures. My question is if Mr. Dezaki really spent the time and effort to create an effective curriculum catered towards the high school students specifically in Japan. Does he really understand discrimination from a Japanese perspective? I believe he's intention is noble. However, the video is disappointing. It seems political and personal, a youtube novelty. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti MDC needs to migrate to east coast or to a lighthouse in England. seriously, he has to discard his ego and be a snob for a change. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i am the creator behind ... http://www.reddit.com/user/gay4rusty/ believe it or not. a long time associate of mine is being dismissed by my employer because somehow he got himself on FBI's 'threat to harm president Obama' list.

For Benjamin, at any rate, a monthly stipend remained the only possible form of income, and in order to receive one after his parents' death he was ready, or thought he was, to do many things: to study Hebrew for 300 marks a month if the Zionists thought it would do them some good, or to think dialectically, with all the mediating trimmings, for one thousand French francs if there was no other way of doing business with the marxists. The fact that despite being down and out he later did neither is worthy of admiration, and so is the infinite patience with which Scholem, who had worked very hard to get Benjamin a stipend for the study of Hebrew from the university in Jerusalem, allowed himself to be put off for years. No one, of course, was prepared to subsidize him in theo nly 'position' for which he was born, that of an homme de lettres, a position of whose unique prospects neither the Zionists nor the Marxists were, or could have been, aware. collecting is the redemption of things which is to complement the redemption of man. Even the reading of his books is something questionable to a true bibliophile.. Closely connected with this is the fetish character which Benjamin explicitly claimed for collected objects. The value of genuineness which is decisive for the collector as well as for the market determined by him has replaced the 'cult value' and is its secularization. For tradition puts thep ast in order, not just chronologivcally but first of all systematically in that it separates the positive from the negative, the orthodox from the heretical, that which is obligatory and relevant form the mass of irrelevant or merely interesting opinions and data. The collector's passion on the other hand, is not only unsystematic but borders on the chaotic, Benjamin, Walter - The Correspondence of Walter Benjamin 1910 - 1940 > 182. To Max Rychner My most esteemed Mr. Rychner, Berlin-Grunewald January 15, 1929 Enclosed is the editio ne varietur of my small pamphlet "Marseilles." Your question about Proust embarrasses me. I am embarrassed for Germany, for the circumstances that caused this project to rest in uncaring and ignorant hands from the very beginning (and even if it should now find itself in new hands, there still will be no better minds to accompany them). You are sure to understand that I am speaking of the publishers. The reading public really can't be reproached with anything, for it still has not laid hands on these things. First was the volume translated by Schotrlaender, a ridiculous debut. Then the volume Hessel and I trans- lated, in an entirely different and not necessarily skillful way. There are therefore two volumes that, as a translation, evidence neither external nor internal continuity. After that, everything comes to a complete halt. As you may know, a new publisher has recently appeared who is just as incapable as his predecessor of understanding that Proust can succeed in Germany only as a complete oeuvre, and not as individual volumes. Considering that our translation of his work up to and including Sodom and Gomorrah has been finished for years, you will understand how very much we sympathize with your displeasure and how grateful we are to you for having established the Rundschau as almost the only arena in which Proust is referred to again and again. There is of course no end to what remains to be done. And it is just as much a matter of course that I have already thought of making a contribution to the interpretation of Proust. But I am still too close to the entire project, and it still looms too large. I will wait until I can see details. I will then use them as handholds to climb up on. German Proust scholarship is sure to have a different look to it than its French counterpart. There is so much to Proust that is greater and more important than the "psychologist" who, as far as I can tell, is almost the exclusive topic of conversation in France. If we can be just a bit patient, I am certain that one day you will be just as glad to receive as to publish a comparative study of German and French Proust commentaries, from whatever source. For today, let me close with my most sincere compliments.

His mother Ketevan Geladze was a housekeeper who took whatever job opportunities were available and found employment at a couture shop for 17 years; his father Besarion Jughashvili worked as a cobbler. The couple had previously given birth to three sons, but two died during infancy. The family surname means son of Juga, and is derived from either the Ossetian Juga (meaning 'herd') or the old Georgian djuga (meaning 'steel'). Ioseb eventually adopted the name "Stalin" from the Russian word for "steel;" he used it as an alias and pen name in his published works. As a child, Ioseb was plagued with numerous health issues. He was born with two adjoined toes on his left foot.[12] His face was left permanently scarred after he contracted smallpox at the age of 7. Later, at age 12, he injured his left arm in an accident involving a horse-drawn carriage, rendering it shorter and stiffer than its counterpart. During the first several years of his life, Stalin and his mother were subjected to severe physical abuse at the hands of his father,[13] who was severely alcoholic. When Geladze enrolled Ioseb into an Orthodox priesthood school against her husband's wishes, Jughashvili went on a public rampage. He was banished from Gori for assaulting its police chief. He subsequently moved to Tiflis (Tbilisi), leaving his family behind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti crawford literally means crow's ford MDC is the most recent reckless deviant of scarecrow, IMHO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti what made up the destination for your trip? have you tried Thai royalty cuisine academy ? my ex-boss was there in 2001(?) http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/6/10/155310/113 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Elephants ?

Art grows out of native soil and enriches life as a people attempts to express and develop this growth. It is contemporary to life itself and is fastened in the chain of human endeavor. It comes from within, stimulated by environments and influenced by the customs and habits of a people." "The art of living is the accomplishment and the fulfillment of our task during our sojourn on this earth. Those who observe the rules of life are a part of the endless chain of volution and are happier human beings than those who have drifted into a self-centered life of excess, of arrogance and conceit, destroying themselves and leading others to false trails." Sifting p43. The Chinese say that a gardener must be a wise man because he must know the trees he uses and their growth for hundreds of years hence. How short a lifetime is to complete the study of the character and the beauty of the plants used in the composition of landscapes. Only last spring the real loveliness of our red maple was shown to me. A group of these trees went in bloom against the purple and gray background of the oak-covered sand hills across a narshy stretch. I had seen them singly scattered amongst oaks and sugar maples, but never had I seen them in groves forming a rosy mist over a dune landscape. These red maples like pink clouds floating over the marshes and silhouetted against a background of gray hills, sang a song new to me that April morning. ... p50 Watch the purple ridges of deciduous woodlands from across Illinois prairies. Watch them when snow covers the fields. Get closer to them and feel the warmth streaming out from their warm texture to you. Then see man attempt to destroy this harmony, this noble character which is Illinois, by planting coniferous trees. What a travesty of so-called educated man's intellect! ... There had been no time for the preparation of anddress I was to give at the Univ. of Illinois, so on my journey to urbana I hoped some worth-while thought would appear. Almost at my journey's end I observed the rosy head of a native crab-apple in full bloom. sympathetic pioneers had saved it from destruction. They too had loved it. In its early life it perhaps stood on the edge of a forest where woods and prairie met. Since then the forest had been cleared away, but this tree was left in the open field. The storms of spring and fall and the icy blasts of many winters had shaken its tender body, even threatened its life; yet it sang the song of youth. More than one hundred summers had brightened its life. Like, a bride in May it greeted us and other wayfarers who passed by. It, too, was a pioneer and was left to tell its story and to give of its beauty to the American of today and tomorrow. The message from this old crab-apple tree was what I gave to the students that day. I interpreted its lovely May song and its long life struggles. I told of its fitness to the soil, of its pioneer courage and its weill to survive and give of its beauty to its surroundings. That which fits, endures and records, not one lifetime, but many generations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Vachel Lindsay My departed friend, our great western poet, Vachel Lindsay, had honored us with a visit.

The clearing was bordered by a smiple composition of hardwoods with a few hawthorns, crab-apples, and gray dogwood scattered on the edge. The light had added an enchantment to this ismple composition, and Lindsay, watching this, said to me, "Such poems as this I c annot write." Many years have gone by since then, many mornings and many evenings, and I have watched the clearing. I have seen it on cloudy days and in full sunlight, in the starry evenings and on dark nights and moonlight nights, but I have never seen it the same. Light and shadow and their distribution during the entire circle of day and night are important fundamentals in the art of landscaping.

To admirethe work of one's own peole, to be proud of the achievements of those who exel in the part they play in one's own community, and also to understand the work of others, brings us nearer to an ideal life for all. Quite naturally, since I have spent almost a lifetime in the field of landscaping, my understanding of this art is greater than of all othres. Landscaping is a composition of life that unfolds a mysterious beauty from time to time until mature age. All other arts are founded on dead materials. In these materials there is no growth. The thought they express may grow, but there is not the freedom, nor the mystery of the infinite, to as great a degree as in landscaping. compare a growing tree with a monument of stone or mortar, which is definitely shaped, never to change. The tree's whole struture and its promise for the tomorrow are not surpassed on this earth. In passing, the fallen giant soon develops new beauty by feeding new growth, which extends its life into the far off future. It is often stated, 'the art of making landscapes is just a branch of architecture." What comparison is there between the creating of a building, which fits into a narrow and limited space, and the creating of large pastoral meadows where the horizon is the boundary, ever changing in light and shadow with the clouds above, with the light of early morn, at eve when the rays of the setting sun cast their refelction upon the earth, in the silvery moonlight, and in the changing colors of spring and summer and fall and winter? Such are the keys to landscaping. The landsaper must be imbued with an imaginative mind. If his work is that of a master, it retains youth and vigor into an indefinite time unfathomed by man. The landscaper must see the tree in its full beauty hundreds of years hence. A painting or a cathedral is limited in this repsect. Decay starts at its completion. Think of the giant redwoods of california and their forefathers, which probably date back long before the history of mankind! Each t ree, each shrub, each flower expresses and individual beauty fitting for a certain landscape. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti intruder, back off ...

Randal Quan alleges that university officials pressured him to hire the woman as his lieutenant in the name of diversity, despite his protests that doing so would jeopardize campus safety. Quan was abruptly fired April 8, about six months after starting the $107,000 per year job, sparking protests at the campus. The Walnut man did not return a telephone call left at his home Monday seeking comment. His attorney, Steven Serratore, declined to comment on the lawsuit, as did a Cal Poly spokesman. Quan was hired at Cal Poly with much fanfare in May 2002 after 26 years in law enforcement. He gained much of his experience with the Los Angeles Police Department, where he became the first Chinese-American captain in the history of that department and served as commanding officer of 335 sworn and civilian employees of the jail division. He replaced Kim Plater at Cal Poly, where he supervised 16 sworn peace officers and an administrative staff during his short stay. In his lawsuit, filed Jan. 15 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Quan claims Cal Poly Provost Tomas Morales began pressuring him to hire a black woman for the lieutenant job soon after hiring him. He claims Morales was eager to hire a high-ranking female officer to compensate for losing Plater and to gain political favor from some campus groups. The lieutenant holds the second highest ranking job in the department and assumes command of the police force in the chief's absence. Quan claims in his lawsuit that Morales and other university officials manipulated a search process so Shirley Smith, a black woman who heads the private security force at Cypress College, was named a finalist. Quan claims he interviewed Smith and determined she lacked the qualifications for the lieutenant job. Specifically, she lacked police patrol, supervision, and investigative experience, and had never filed cases with a district attorney's office. She also held an expired training certification, he claims. Quan alleges that despite this, top administrators pressured him to hire Smith, even though other finalists included two sergeants from the Cal Poly police force and another from Cal State Fullerton, all of whom possessed the training Smith lacked. He claims he rebuffed the overtures until he was called to Morales' office and abruptly fired. He claims Morales refused to tell him why. Quan is suing for wrongful termination, violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and infliction of emotional distress. Smith on Monday distanced herself from the disagreement, saying she didn't want to take sides. She said she does, however, resent that Quan openly called her qualifications into question. "It's completely unfair to a person who is innocent and didn't have anything to do with the choice or situation," she said. "You choose a person or you don't. I accept that for what it's worth. But the issue is not me. It's an issue that exists between the people who work there and the people who run the place." University spokesman Ron Fremont said the lieutenant job has remained vacant while the university searched for a new chief. That search recently ended when the school hired Michael Guerin, who previously worked as the chief of the Law Enforcement Branch of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

For Tvardovsky they chose taking away his creation, his passion - his magazine. The sixteen years of humiliations meekly borne by this noble knight were not enough.

Six months later he was mortally ill and only because of habitual fortitude lived until now, until his last hour, fully conscious, suffering. - A Word for the Dead. Traveling along country roads in central Russia, you begin to understand why the Russian countryside has such a soothing effect. It is because of its churches. They rise over ridge and hillside, descending toward wide rivers like red and white pricesses, towering above the thatch and wooden huts of everyday life with their slender, carved and fretted belfries. From far away, they greet each other; from distant, unseen villages they rise toward the same sky. Wherever you may wander, over field or pasture, many miles from any homestead, you are never alone: above the wall of trees, above the hayricks, even above the very curve of the earth itself, the dome of a belfry is always beckoning to you, from Borki Lovetskie, Lyubichi, or Gavrilovskoe. But as soon as you enter a village you realize that the churches which welcomed you from afar are no longer living. - A Journey along the Oka.

There are no rules is only one rule, but you can post basically anything you want here. p17 Many years and many layers of privilegd knowledge later, Ellsberg would have a conversation about that rite of passage with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, one that he documented in his memoir. Kissinger was about to receive his own high-level clearances, and Ellsberg wanted to prepare him for the heady effects of that rarified information. So he described for Kissinger the experience of entering a world of secrets. At first, Ellsberg said, he'd felt exhilarated at the enormous bounty of incredible facts that flooded into his intelligence. But that initial feeling soon gave way, and instead he felt like a fool for having worked for so long without those secrets, under such a veil of illusions and ignorance. A couple weeks later, he began to see veryone else as fools, watching them labor under that same malformed knoledge he had suffered from for years. It would take years more, Ellsberg recounted, before he finally began to see the limits of his top secret information, the ways that it blinded him and led him astray with the sense of omniscience it offered. In the intervening time, he says, those secrets often prevented him and other secret keepers from learning anything from anyone who didn't have their clearances. Knowing secrets, Ellsberg told Kissinger, requires a person to lie to and distrust everyone who advise him. "I ended by saying that I'd long thought of this kind of secret information as something like the potion Circe gave to the wanderers and ship-wrecked men who happened on her siland, which turned them into swine," Ellsberg wrote of his warning to Kissinger. "They became incapable of human speech and couldn't help one another to find their way home."

Hence, the state is supposed to service the matrix for the obligations and prerogatives of citizenship. It is that which forms the conditions under which we are juridically bound. We might expect that the state presupposes modes of juridical belonging, at least mininally, but since the state can be precisely what expels and suspends modes of legal protection and obligation, the state can put us, some of us in quite a state. It can signify the source of non-belonging, even produce that non-belonging as a quasi-permanent state. The state then makes us out of sorts, to be sure, if not destitute and enraged. Which is why it makes sense to see that at the core of this "state" - that signifies both juridical and dispositional dimensions of life - is a certain tension produced between modes of being or mental states, temporary or provisional constellations of mind of one kind or another, and juridical and military complexes that govern how and where we may move, associate, work, and speak. If the state is what 'binds', it is also clearly what can and odes unbind. And if the state binds in the name of the nation, conjuring a certain version of the nation forcibly, if not powerfully, then it also unbinds, releases, expels, banishes. If it does the latter, it is not always through emancipatory means, i.e. through 'letting go' or 'setting free; it expels precisely through an exercise of power that depends upoon barriers and prisons and so, in the mode of a certain containment. We are not outside of politics when we eare dispossessed in such ways. Rather, we are deposited in a dense situation of military power in which juridical functions become the prerogative of the military. This is not bare life, but a particular formation of power and coercion that is designed to produce and maintain the condition, the state, of the disposessed. What does it mean to be at once contained and dispossessed by the state? And what does it mean to be uncontained or discontinued from the state but given over to other forms of power that may or may not have state-like features? It won't do to consider as a kind of stupulative definition that the refugee belongs to a movement of populations between existing and autonomous juridical states. When and where a 'refugee' is expelled from one state, or forcibly dispossessed in some other way, there is often no place to go, even as one arrives someplace, if only in transit. It may be within the borders of a given state but precisely not as a citizen; so, one is received, as it were, on the condition that one does not belong to the set of juridical obligations and prerogatives that stipulate citizenship or, if at all, only differentially and selectively. It would seem that one passes through a b order and that one arrives in another state, but this is where we do not know whether the state at which one arrives is defined by its juridical and military power and its stipulated modes of national belonging under the rubric of the citizen, or by a certain set of dispositions that characterize the mode of non-bellonging as uch. An d even though one necessarily arrives somewhere ( we can see that we are already in a dystopic kind of travel narrative), that is nont another nation-state, another mode of belonging; it might be Guantanamo, where there is no state ( though delegated state power controls and terrorizes the territory where its inhabitants live), or it might be Gaza, aptly described as 'an open-air prison." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti lol. how do i rate -3 to your thread? $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i support her right to be surprised and you stuck to a pattern that is totally unsurprising. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti you didn't notice ...?

In 1904, Japan sent Baron Takahashi to London to raise 10 million pounds ($200 million) to buy a fleet for Japan. Although the Japanese were defeating the Russians in every battle , Russia would not concede, and financially could outlast Japan. Takahashi received a weak commitment for about half the money he needed. That night, a disheartened Takahashi told his woes to the man sitting next to him: Jacob Schiff, head of the investment bank Kuhn & Loeb, and head of the American Jewish Committee. Schiff was motivated to help Japan because of the pogroms he'd been hearing about taking place in the Russian-occupied territories, and told Takahashi, "I'll take care of the loan for you." Schiff returned to NY and secured 10 million pounds from other Jewish bankers who were similarly motivated. This turned the tide of the war. Since then, Japan has been a place for refuge for Jews (reportedly even protecting Jews during the Rape of Nanking), even though most Japanese did not understand anything about the Jews. They simply knew that a Jewish banker had made it possible for Japan to become the first Asian nation to defeat a European nation. Schiff's loan resulted in a shift in geopolitical power in the world and a long alliance between Japan and the Jews. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti HAND can do a better job than HEAD http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2013/01/trenton_mayor_tony_mack_in_was.html the head of the state surrounds himself with many many handy man of all sorts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti NYC - Aaron Memorial Service this Saturday A public memorial service to remember Aaron Swartz, open to all.

When the hall opened in 1858, more than a year in advance of the completion of the institution, it quickly became a mecca for all interested in serious discussion and debate of the vital issues of the day. The Great Hall was the platform for some of the earliest workers' rights campaigns and for the birth of the NAACP, the women's suffrage movement and the American Red Cross. To the Great Hall's podium has come a pageant of famous Americans -- rebels and reformers, poets and presidents. Before they were elected, Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Taft, Theodore Roosevelt and Barack Obama all spoke there. Besides Woodrow Wilson, only one incumbent president has spoken in the Great Hall: William Jefferson Clinton, who, on May 12, 1993, delivered a major economic address on reducing the federal deficit. And, during the past century's times of tremendous upheaval, it was through meetings in Cooper's famous auditorium that the politics and legislation necessary to build a humane city took shape. The Great Hall is located in The Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues. Maybe I should organise an event in our Brotherly Love City simultaneously.

Nevertheless I write myself, I obtain greater and greater insight. Our constant worry is that our ideas may not equal their objects and our style may fall short of our ideas. The difficulty, then, lies not so much in knowing as in doing.

Bonhoeffer emphasized the disciplines of Christian community as a way to combat the seductiveness of cheap grace. He also stressed the need to confess the Church's complicity in "the apostasy of the western world from Jesus Christ." The Church today is that community of men which is gripped by the power of the grace of Christ so that, recognizing as guilt towards Jesus Christ both its own personal sin and the apostasy of the western world from Jesus Christ, it confesses this guilt and accepts the burden of it. It is in her that Jesus realizes His form in the midst of the world. That is why the Church alone can be the place of personal and collective rebirth and renewal. may i sent you a v-card?

W. Bullinger believes selah is a conjunction linking two verses (or thoughts, or Psalms) together either in contrast, further explanation, or to mark a cause/effect relationship. Another meaning is given by assigning it to the root, as an imperative that should not properly have been vocalized, "Sollah" (Ewald, "Kritische Grammatik der Hebrischen Sprache,"p. 554; Knig, "Historisch-Kritisches Lehrgebude der Hebrischen Sprache," ii., part i., p. 539). The meaning of this imperative is given as "Lift up," equivalent to "loud" or "fortissimo," a direction to the accompanying musicians to break in at the place marked with crash of cymbals and blare of trumpets, the orchestra playing an interlude while the singers' voices were hushed. The effect, as far as the singer was concerned, was to mark a pause. This significance, too, has been read into the expression or sign, selah being held to be a variant of "shelah" (="pause").[citation needed] But as the interchange of shin and samek is not usual in Biblical Hebrew, and as the meaning "pause" is not held to be applicable in the middle of a verse, or where a pause would interrupt the sequence of thought, this proposition has met with little favor.[citation needed] Though there are not any official cases of evidence to support this claim, it is reported in various cities in the middle east[citation needed], that the word selah originates in Syrian Aramaic as a word reserved for prayer as a praise that is used exclusively for praising God and is the highest form of praise man is able to give.[citation needed] Additionally, this word also means prayer in modern Arabic.[citation needed] Grtz argues that selah introduces a new paragraph, and also in some instances a quotation (e.g., psalms 57:8 et seq. from 108:2 et seq.) The fact that the term occurs four times at the end of a psalm would not weigh against this theory. The Psalms were meant to be read in sequence, and, moreover, many of them are fragments; indeed, psalm 9 is reckoned one with psalm 10 in the Septuagint, which omits (diapsalma) also at the end of psalms 3, 24, 46 and 68 B. Jacob (l.c.) concludes (1) that since no etymological explanation is possible, selah signifies a pause in or for the Temple song; and (2) that its meaning was concealed lest the Temple privileges should be obtained by the synagogues or perhaps even by the churches. BDB shows that the main derivation of the Hebrew word selah is found through the fientive verb root which means "to lift up (voices)" or "to exalt", and also carries a close connotational relationship to the verb , which is similar in meaning: "to lift up" or "to cast up". The word , which shifts the accent back to the last syllable of the verb form, indicates that in this context, the verb is being used in the imperative mood as somewhat of a directive to the reader. As such, perhaps the most instructive way to view the use of this word, particularly in the context of the Psalms, would be as the writer's instruction to the reader to pause and exalt the Lord.[4] Contemporary usage Selah is used in Iyaric Rastafarian vocabulary. It can be heard at the end of spoken-word segments of some reggae songs. Its usage here, again, is to accentuate the magnitude and importance of what has been said, and often is a sort of substitute for Amen. The Iyaric term has also been said by folk etymology to signify "Seal up" as in, "may JAH seal up any inadvertent mistakes in what was said".[5] Furman Bisher, the well-known former sports editor and current columnist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, has for decades signed off his columns with "Selah." In Predator 2, just before being killed by the predator, the Jamaican drug lord King Willie says, "His foundation lie in the holy mountain" before pausing and adding "Selah". Literary instances "Selah!" is used at the end of the second part (titled Dimanche) of Conversations dans le Loir-et-Cher by French writer Paul Claudel (1935). Selah is the last word in Anita Diamant's book The Red Tent and in Edward Dahlberg's Because I Was Flesh. Katherine Kurtz uses it in some of her Deryni novels, including The King's Justice (1985); it is among the acquired Eastern influences on the ritual practices of Deryni at King Kelson's court, largely brought by Richenda, Duchess of Corwyn, after her marriage to Duke Alaric Morgan. It is also the last word in Gilbert Sorrentino's novel Little Casino (2002), probably in homage to Dahlberg. In Hunter S. Thompson's collected works "Songs of the Doomed", "The Proud Highway: Saga of A Desperate Southern Gentleman 1955-1967", and Fear and Loathing in America: the Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist, The Gonzo Letters Volume Two 1968-1976 the word Selah is used frequently in letters and diatribes written from the 1960s to the 1990s. The word is used similarly to the word allora in Italy. It is also akin to Kurt Vonnegut's use of the phrase "So it goes" in his novel Slaughterhouse-Five. It is also used by famous Czech writer and philosopher John Amos Comenius at the end one of his books (Ksaft). "Selah" is the name of a song by R&B/Hip-Hop artist Lauryn Hill. Selah was also defined to mean 'pause and consider' in Babylon 5 episode "Deconstruction of Falling Stars".[6] "Selah" is also the title of a miniature for trio (flute, clarinet and piano) by Argentinean composer Juan Maria Solare.[citation needed] Characters named Selah appear in: George Elliot Clarke's long narrative poem Whylah Falls the film The Book of Eli Shane Jones's first novel Light Boxes Charlaine Harris's novel Dead as a Doornail Virginia Hamilton's novel The House of Dies Drear 'why i am not a Christian' p19. Then there is the curious sotry of the fig tree, which always rather puzzled me. You remember what happened about the fig tree. "He was hungry; and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, He came to it He found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it: 'No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever' ... and Peter ...saith unto Him: 'Master, behold the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.'" This is a very curious story, because it was no the right time of year for figs, and you really could not blame the tree. i cannot myself feel that either in the matter of wisdom or in the matter of virtue Christ stands quite as high as some other people known to history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti my belief system simplified to this paragraph " " " ; " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti what has gotten into David Brooks' pen? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/28/opinion/brooks-the-real-romney.html?_r=1&s mid=FB-nytimes&WT.mc_id=OP-E-FB-SM-LIN-TRR-082812-NYT-NA&WT.mc_ev=click& amp;pagewanted=print or monkey ears no longer fear thundering donkey tears ?

The death toll included men, women and children who died instantaneously, and thousands who died within months from the lingering radiation sickness. Three days later, the U.S. dropped "fat man" on Nagasaki that resulted in another 75,000 casualties. To these numbers should be added the plight of the Hibakusha: the survivors of the nuclear bombings. The Hibakusha, who suffered lifelong diseases, including cancer, have been unwavering in their demand to ban nuclear weapons. http://www.fas.org/policy/hiroshima.html Attack of the Crab Monsters Even from the beach I could sense it--- lack of welcome, lack of abiding life, like something in the air, a certain lack of sound. Yesterday there was a mountain out there. Now it's gone. And look at this radio, each tube neatly sliced in half. Blow the place up! That was my advice. But after the storm and the earthquake, after the tactic of the exploding plane and the strategy of the sinking boat, it looked like fate and I wanted to say, "Don't you see? So what if you're a famous biochemist! Lost with all hands is an old story." Sure, we're on the edge of an important breakthrough, everyone hearing voices, everyone falling into caves, and you're out wandering through the jungle in the middle of the night in your neglige. Yes, we're way out there on the edge of science, while the rest of the island continues to disappear until nothing's left except this cliff in the middle of the ocean, and you, in your bathing suit, crouched behind the scuba tanks. I'd like to tell you not to be afraid, but I've lost my voice. I'm not used to all these legs, these claws, these feelers. It's the old story, predictable as fallout---the re-arrangement of molecules. And everyone is surprised and no one understands why each man tries to kill the thing he loves, when the change comes over him. So now you know what I never found the time to say. Sweetheart, put down your flamethrower. You know I always loved you.

'Pale Fire' PALE FIRE We shall accompany Gradus in constant thought, as he makes his way from distant dim Zembla to green Appalachia, through the entire length of the poem, following the road of its rhythm, riding past in a rhyme, skidding around the corner of a run-on, breathing with the caesura, swinging down to the foot of the page from line to line as from branch to branch, hiding between two words (see note to line 596), reappearing on the horizon of a new canto, steadily marching nearer in iambic motion, crossing streets, moving up with the valise on the escalator of the pentameter, stepping off, boarding a new train of thought, entering the hall of a hotel, putting out the bedlight, and falling asleep as the poet lays down his pen for the night. --VLADIMIR NABOKOV The commentators on Nabokov Pale Fire have given differing answers to the question why the assassin Jack Grey, whose journey to his fatal encounter with the poet, John Shade, coincides with the composition of the latter's last poem and is completed on the same day, should be named Gradus. Mary McCarthy points out that gradus is Russian for degree, and thus refers to a couplet by Pope, "Virtuous and vicious ev'ry Man must be,Few in th'extreme, but all in the degree," in a passage of the Essay on Man (11.221-32) which states one of the major themes of the novel.1 Judith Bader explains that "a Gradus ad Parnassum is a dictionary used as an aid in writing poetry, and literally means 'a step to the place where the Muses live.'"2 Accordingly, Bader finds it affirmative and hopeful that "the commentary ends with [the word] Gradus, the step to Pamassus."3 Such is the complexity of allusion in the novel that both suggestions doubtless have validity, though the second is open to a serious objection: a Gradus ad Parnassum is actually a collection of traditional phrases and epithets for the use of schoolboys attempting to write Latin verse. Its approach is quite mechanical; if the versifier has written the fragmentary line "_dum video__sidera coeli" (When I see the_ stars of the____sky) of the Gradus informs him that he can fill the first blank with splendida, aurea, lactea or candida (shining, golden, milky, white) and the second by spatiosa, specioso, jucundi or festivi (spacious, lovely, pleasant, festive).4 The use of the Gradus produced such lamentable results that by the Nineteenth Century, a "gradus epithet" was a hackneyed expression or clich.5 Since clichs are instant death to poetry, Gradus as the name of the murderer of a poet might have appropriateness of a more sinister kind than Bader envisions. Perhaps it will be helpful to look closer at Gradus himself. He makes one paramount impression: he approaches, he draws near by degrees or steps, and thus epitomizes death, everyone's death. R. M. Adam says very tellingly that this murderer "is nothing but the process of his approach."6 Since gradus is Latin for step, not merely in the sense of a riser on a flight of stairs, but in the sense of a single forward movement in walking, could Gradus be gradus mortis the step or inexorable approach of death? It happens that the word is so used in an ode by Horace (I.iii. 17-20), when the rhetorical question is asked, what could ever frighten the hero who first sailed the seas? quem mortis timuit gradum qui siccis oculis monstra natantia, qui vidit mare turbidum et infamis scopulos Acroceraunia? (What step of death did he fear, the man who, dry-eyed, saw the monsters that swim, the water storm-toned, and the dreaded Acroceraunian rocks?) J. B. Leishman translates the first of these lines as "what form of death's approach did that man fear . . . ?"7 Joseph Clancy translates it, "What could he fear in death's footstep . . . ?"8 E. C. Wickham interprets gradus mortis as "the step, the footfall of death," but adds that the Scholiasts took Horace's rhetorical question as meaning "'what degree of death? i.e. what death is so terrible that he feared it if he feared not the sea?"9 Thus gradus is either footstep or degree, approach of death or kind of death. It is characteristic of Nabokov to make sport of a word that is untranslatable or has been mistranslated; in Pale Fire he also jests with Libitina/Lubentina, "funereal, concerned with corpses and graves/amorous" and kinboot/cynebot, pecuniary mulct for the murder of a kinsman of a king."10 --DAVID RENAKER, San Francisco State University NOTES "A Bolt from the Blue," in The Writing on the Wall and Other Literary Essays (New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1970 ), p. 20.

The regional court in Cologne, western Germany, ruled that the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents." "The religious freedom of the parents and their right to educate their child would not be unacceptably compromised, if they were obliged to wait until the child could himself decide to be circumcised," the court added. The case was brought against a doctor in Cologne who had circumcised a four-year-old Muslim boy on his parents' wishes. Top Christian clerics also voiced opposition. The Roman Catholic archbishop of Aachen Heinrich Mussinghoff said the ruling was "very surprising", as the contradiction between "basic rights on freedom of religion and the well-being of the child brought up by the judges is not convincing in this very case." The head of the Protestant Church in Germany, Hans Ulrich Anke, said the ruling should be appealed as it did not "sufficiently" take into account the religious significance of the rite.

The Epistle: 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 I know a person in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven - whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows. And I know that such a person - whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows -was caught up into Paradise and heard things that are not to be told, that no mortal is permitted to repeat. On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses. But if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think better of me than what is seen in me or heard from me, even considering the exceptional character of the revelations. Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti who the meek are not Not the bristle-bearded Igors bent under burlap sacks, not peasants knee-deep in the rice paddy muck, nor the serfs whose quarter-moon sickles make the wheat fall in waves they don't get to eat.

This wonder was enhanced by my awareness of their not feeling what I felt, of their not seeing what I saw, of their taking Shake for granted, instead of drenching every nerve, so to speak, in the romance of head, containing a brain of a different brand than that of the snythetic jellies preserved in the skulls around him.

Decter contended that modern American women had it better than ever, for example, in their newfound abilities to secure gainful employment and control pregnancy through birth control. And yet, she pointed out, even with such advances, or perhaps because of them, the "women's liberation" movement protested in increasingly fevered tones that women were subjected to patriarchal strictures. Decter countered that, far from wanting more freedom, feminists feared their newfound freedoms, because with them came new responsibilities. For instance, if women were going to enter the workplace like men, then they had to be prepared to compete alongside men in the dog-eat-dog world that men had long grown accustomed to. In short, Decter believed that feminists wanted to shirk the responsibilities of living in capitalist America. Her cultural critique of feminism doubled as a defense of capitalism. Decter was of Robin's "reactionary mind." So what is Lilla's complaint again? How can I frame Lilla-Robin debate into Chinese, against such rosy happily-ever-after ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti I suspect Mark Lilla didn't read Robin's 'FEAR' or else, he wouldn't 'fear' that Robin would treat his 'conservatism' as a pathology. Even though, they don't read same books from the same school of traditions. I suspect Mark's dear late teacher Paul Lyons didn't want to take time to write, he enjoyed teaching much better.

The decimal system invented in India around AD 600. This idea took a long time to spread, hindered by traditional barriers of language, distance, and ignorance. he most influential medium of transmission is a text book written in Arabic in the 9th cnetury by a man who lived in Baghdad. Al Khwarizmi laid out the basic methods for adding, multiplying and dividing numbers - even extracting square roots and calculating digits of Pi. Al Khwarizmi's work could not have gained a foothold in the West were it not for the efforts of one man: the 15th century Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, who saw the potential of the positional system and worked hard to develop it further and propagandize it. Naturally, there is nothing special about the number 10--we just happen to have 10 fingers, and so 10 was an obvious place to pause and take counting to the next level. The Mayans developed a similar positional system based on the number 20 (no shoes, see?). Multiplication a la Francais. function multiply(x, y) Input: Two n-bit integers x and y, where y 0 Output: Their product if y = 0: return 0 z = multiply(x, y/2 ) if y is even: return 2z else: return x + 2z But Al Khwarizmi knew another way to multiply, a method which is used today in some European countries. To multiply two decimal numbers x and y, write them next to each other, as in the example below. Then repeat the following: divide the first number by 2, rounding down the result (that is, dropping the .5 if the number was odd), and double the second number. Keep going till the first number gets down to 1. Then strike out all the rows in which the first number is even, and add up whatever remains in the second column Al Khwarizmi's second algorithm is a fascinating mixture of decimal and binary! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti it's easy to use this algorithm to do multiplication as recursive addition/division on Chinese abacus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i wonder what differentiates Russian vs. Ukraine pheasant? what's cornputing, btw?

In ordinary arithmetic there is just one tricky case--division by zero. It turns out that in modular arithmetic there are potentially other such cases as well, which we will characterize toward the end of this section. Whenever division is legal, however, it can be managed in cubic time, O(n 3 ). we next turn to modular exponentiation, and then to the greatest common divisor, which is the key to division. For both tasks, the most obvious procedures take exponentially long, but with some ingenuity polynomial-time solutions can be found.

Can you explain how in the world as new as 1966, it was still against white law for a white man to marry a black chick? I can't believe it. Maybe it was a singularity case, considering: "My birthday is April 26th, Confederate Memorial Day," she said. "I was born 100 years to the day after that holiday was invented. I don't think I could have escaped learning about the Civil War and what it represented." As one of her poems explains, Ms. Trethewey is the product of a union that was still a crime in Mississippi when her parents married: her mother was black and her father was white. Years later, after her mother's death, she came across her own birth certificate and saw that the line for the race of her mother says, "colored," the race of her father, "Canadian." "That's how language works -- how we change and rewrite ourselves," she said. When Ms. Trethewey was 19 and in college, her mother was murdered by her second husband, an abusive man she had divorced, and the effort of trying to recover her mother's memory is one of Ms. Trethewey's other major themes. "But in dreams you live," she writes in "Native Guard," "so I try taking, not to let go. You'll be dead again tomorrow." Recalling her mother's death, she said, "Strangely enough, that was the moment when I both felt that I would become a poet and then immediately afterward felt that I would not. I turned to poetry to make sense of what had happened and started writing what I knew even then were really bad poems. It took me nearly 20 years to find the right language, to write poems that were successful enough to explain my own feelings to me and that might also be meaningful to others." http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/books/natasha-trethewey-is-named-poet-laureate .htm as fucked up as ...

In the Dokai Koshuki, a report prepared by agents of Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi concerning the lives and behavior of daimyo (and prepared long before the assault in the castle), Asano comes off looking like a fop. While the report compliments him on his intelligence and strict punishment of offences within his domain, it derides him for "sexual proligacy". It also notes that he promoted and rewarded retainers based on their ability to procure attractive women for him and to otherwise feed his ego. It notes that he was "only concerned with his personal amusement" and left the government of his domain in the hands of his servants. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i know one on advogato, can't recall details or his name. blessed are those who forgets. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enterfornone ? no witnesses for all of them.

I wonder if Chomsky dislike him because Daniel was a missionary. What do you think? http://chronicle.com/article/Researchers-Findings-in-the/131260/ And of course, Tom Bartlett is an opinionated writer. That's why I don't mind give him 5 bux if he wants to join me here. The language Everett has focused on, Pirah, is spoken by just a few hundred members of a hunter-gatherer tribe in a remote part of Brazil. Everett got to know the Pirah in the late 1970s as an American missionary. With his wife and kids, he lived among them for months at a time, learning their language from scratch. He would point to objects and ask their names. He would transcribe words that sounded identical to his ears but had completely different meanings. His progress was maddeningly slow, and he had to deal with the many challenges of jungle living. His story of taking his family, by boat, to get treatment for severe malaria is an epic in itself. His initial goal was to translate the Bible. He got his Ph.D. in linguistics along the way and, in 1984, spent a year studying at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in an office near Chomsky's. He was a true-blue Chomskyan then, so much so that his kids grew up thinking Chomsky was more saint than professor. "All they ever heard about was how great Chomsky was," he says. He was a linguist with a dual focus: studying the Pirah language and trying to save the Pirah from hell. The second part, he found, was tough because the Pirah are rooted in the present. They don't discuss the future or the distant past. They don't have a belief in gods or an afterlife. And they have a strong cultural resistance to the influence of outsiders, dubbing all non-Pirah "crooked heads." They responded to Everett's evangelism with indifference or ridicule. As he puts it now, the Pirah weren't lost, and therefore they had no interest in being saved. They are a happy people. Living in the present has been an excellent strategy, and their lack of faith in the divine has not hindered them. Everett came to convert them, but over many years found that his own belief in God had melted away. So did his belief in Chomsky, albeit for different reasons. The Pirah language is remarkable in many respects. Entire conversations can be whistled, making it easier to communicate in the jungle while hunting. Also, the Pirah don't use numbers. They have words for amounts, like a lot or a little, but nothing for five or one hundred. Most significantly, for Everett's argument, he says their language lacks what linguists call "recursion"--that is, the Pirah don't embed phrases in other phrases. They instead speak only in short, simple sentences. here's another not-so-opiniated view http://daniel-harbour.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/chomsky-piraha-and-turduckens-of-am azon.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti why Dan lost his Christian faith ... http://fora.tv/2009/03/20/Daniel_Everett_Endangered_Languages_and_Lost_Knowledge I wonder how and why Dan Everett's effort of saving endangered language damaged his faith in Christianity? Who would you side with? General Anubis or scootwes ? General Anubis's comment: An interesting look at a culture very alien to the typical worldview. One striking concern I have is that they apply no value to historical proof, apparently. It is an uneducated (in archaeology and history) Christian whose faith falters when asked for evidence of Jesus, a historical figure whose existence is agreed as fact. His divinity is up to debate, but his existence is not. How can a culture that applies no value to history preserve their heritage? Sorry to be so tangential in my comment, but I spend a lot of time following the evidence of my faith and conveying the findings of that evidence to others. All the questions the Pirah posed to you (at least, all the ones you mentioned or hinted at in this video, and all the questions their culture and view likely brought to your own mind) are easily answered with only a slightly in-depth look at the Bible. It saddens me that there are Christians out there, especially evangelical Christian missionaries, with that little faith or Biblical background knowledge. If you ever read this, Dan, know that you need only contact me if you'd like to have answers to the hard questions you could not answer, and also know that I'll be praying for your return scootwes wrote: General Anubis, your comment is ignorant, insulting and condescending. Many of us were formerly evangelical christians (in my case 46 years including Bible School degree and missionary in Europe) who just could no longer believe in the bible god who sends 95% of his children to eternal torment over a matter of what a person happens to believe or not believe. We had MUCH faith and MUCH biblical knowledge, but it was not enough to hold back the flood of discovery when we started asking the hard questions and investigating the evidence in an objective way. We did not want to lose our deeply held faith, but our hearts could no longer believe in a god that no longer made sense in our heads. The evidence was too overwhelming to the contrary. So save your prayers. Even if there were a God listening to you, none of us who are genuine ex-believers ever want to return to that extremely narrow worldview. We have been set free from those chains, never to return. I have exchanged email with Daniel Everett, and I can assure that he shares that sentiment. I do not begrudge you the comfort you find in your religion, but please keep it to yourself. Some of us have found it deeply lacking.

The Back Page: Thinking Seriously about Doctoral Education in Physics by Geoff Potvin 'Peeling Back the Layers' In our research on graduate education, we have tried to shed light on some of these concerns. One important finding of our work, which goes to questions about recruiting students and preparing them for research careers, is that students motivations matter: the reasons that students choose to pursue graduate school hasa measurable and significant influence over their career outcomes. Specifically, we found that students who go to graduate school primarily because of their intrinsic interest in thinking about science ( rather than due to receiving good grades, fellowships, family encouragement, and a host of other motivations) become more productive scientists, as measured by their publication and funding rates. imagine if US let Osama live and put these two in the same boxing ring, what would happen? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Breivik is the exception A former classmate has recalled that he was an intelligent student who often took care of people who were bullied.[33] Breivik chose to be confirmed into the Lutheran Church of Norway at the age of 15 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti you are gay and like any body. good for you. $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti nobody understands fear. that's the eternal return not GOD and son of man. but fear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti exception, in the sense of Schmitt What Schmitt, Heidegger and Hitler have in common? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti backwoods foolish acts Self-immolations shake Tibetan resolve and their spiritual leader remains silent, fearing 'whatever I say, CCP is going to manipulate my words'.

Allen West said he believes 75-plus House Democrats are members of the Communist Party, a claim that echoed Joe McCarthy's unsubstantiated 1950s charges that communists had infiltrated the top ranks of the U.S. government. Addressing a town-hall meeting Tuesday in Florida, the freshman lawmaker was asked how many members of the American legislature are "card-carrying Marxists." West said "there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party." He did not provide names. West's office said Wednesday that the congressman stood by the comments and was referring to the 76 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest group within the House Democratic caucus. "The Communist Party has publicly referred to the Progressive Caucus as its allies," said Angela Melvin, a spokeswoman for West. "The Progressive Caucus speaks for itself. These individuals certainly aren't proponents of free markets or individual economic freedom." West's office cited a May 2010 article on health care that appeared in the Communist Party USA pre-convention publication that described the Progressive Caucus and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., as allies of the party but not members. The article, however, carried the disclaimer that Communist Party USA "takes no responsibility for the opinions expressed in this article or other articles in the pre-convention discussion." Reps. Raul M. Grijalva, D-Ariz., and Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the co-chairs of the caucus, rejected West's claim. "Allen West is denigrating the millions of Americans who voted to elect Congressional Progressive Caucus members, and he is ignoring the oath they took to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution - just like he did," the two said in a statement. "Calling fellow members of Congress `communists' is reminiscent of the days when Joe McCarthy divided Americans with name-calling and modern-day witch hunts that don't advance policies to benefit people's lives." Grijalva and Ellison said West "repeatedly polarizes the American people instead of focusing on their interests. When people like Rep. West have no ideals or principles, they rely on personal attacks." The caucus, founded in 1991, includes 75 House members and one senator and describes its goals as economic fairness, civil rights, environmental protection, energy independence and global security. The Palm Beach Post first reported the congressman's comments. During the Cold War, McCarthy, a Republican senator from Wisconsin, claimed that communists and Soviet spies had burrowed their way into the federal government. He never produced the documentation to back up his claims. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_GOP_CONGRESSMAN_COMMUNISTS?SITE=AP& ;SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-04-11-17-39-18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti the best of your lot is here http://sye.freeshell.org/Kim.jpg and their consumer market is ripe by my estimation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti go to court or nuthouse, if you want be 2/3 of MDC Or turn 180 to become -1/3 of MDC. like Jason who calls himself the "King of All Pimps," and is awaiting trial. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/11/nyregion/selling-prostitution-and-the-book-and -film-rights-too.html?_r=2&pagewanted=print April 10, 2012 Selling Prostitution, and the Book and Film Rights, Too By RUSS BUETTNER Outside a Manhattan courthouse, a throng of women, presumably of a flattering appearance, crowd in tightly for the benefit of a video camera. They shake their fists and loudly chant the phrase on their T-shirts. "Free the Pimp!" Fade to a holding cell within the courthouse. The pimp is being primped for his big moment. The camera tightens to a tattoo on his arm -- which reads "Pimp King" -- and the arm disappears into a hot-pink tuxedo. Cut to a courtroom. Enter stage left: Jason Itzler, self-proclaimed King of All Pimps. Is it reality? Is it a movie? The answer, perhaps, is both. Mr. Itzler, whose trial is scheduled to start next week, has been recorded on phones at Rikers Island saying that he and his lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, plan to stage-manage his trial as described above to increase the box office potential of a film in the works about Mr. Itzler's life, according to a letter that prosecutors filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan. Mr. Itzler's case illustrates how some defendants, especially those accused of high-priced prostitution, use court appearances to stir up publicity for potential book or movie deals, treating each visit to 100 Centre Street as a red-carpet moment. The Manhattan district attorney's office even suggested that Mr. Itzler and his lawyer were intentionally dragging his case out, refusing to a plea deal because to do so would stifle his efforts to seek publicity. "A defendant in this position, who is properly counseled by his attorney, normally will give serious consideration to plea offers made by the people and not reject them out of hand, as Itzler appears to have done," wrote Eugene R. Hurley III, the assistant district attorney prosecuting the case. The letter said Mr. Itzler had a tentative deal with Polsky Films, a Los Angeles company whose credits include producing, along with Graydon Carter and HBO, a documentary called "His Way" about the producer Jerry Weintraub that was nominated for an Emmy last year. Mr. Itzler has been recorded saying he promised to pay Mr. Heller's $420,000 retainer from the money he would receive if the film were made, according to the letter. If Mr. Hurley's account of a deal to make a film about Mr. Itzler is accurate, then the defendant would seem to be following a well-worn path. A notable example was the prosecution in the 1980s of Sydney Biddle Barrows, known as the Mayflower Madam, one of a long line of pimps and madams who claimed their black books held the names of well-known men, and who became instantly famous, or at least profitably infamous. Ms. Barrows wrote an autobiography that became a movie starring Candice Bergen. Kristin Davis, once known as the Manhattan Madam, unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2010. Most recently, Anna Gristina, called the Soccer Mom Madam by one city tabloid and the Hockey Mom Madam by another, has become a media spectacle since her arrest in late February. Ronald L. Kuby, who has been tangentially connected to Ms. Gristina's case, said he did not know whether she was seeking a book or movie deal but would not be surprised if she was trying. "She does seem to be the type of person who wants to parlay this dark cloud into the silver lining of celebrity," Mr. Kuby said. Mr. Itzler emerged into public view in 2005, when one of his employees, Natalie McLennan, posed for the cover of New York magazine and revealed details of his NY Confidential escort service, based in TriBeCa. In 2006, he pleaded guilty to money-laundering and attempted promotion of prostitution. Mr. Itzler was indicted last year on charges that he provided a prostitute to a customer for three days in July at the Trump International Hotel at Columbus Circle. Mr. Itzler, prosecutors have said, visited the room twice and sold $4,700 worth of cocaine to the customer. After firing his court-appointed lawyer, Mr. Itzler hired Mr. Heller, whose clients have included the Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz and Ms. Davis. In December, Mr. Heller colorfully rejected a plea offer in court. "The King of All Pimps does not plan to abdicate his throne by taking a 5-to-10-year timeout in jail," he said. "Hundreds of fun-seeking male clients are anxious to resume enjoying the girlfriend experience that Jason has famously provided in a law-abiding manner." More recently, Mr. Itzler rejected an offer of three to six years. Mr. Heller said his client maintained that he was offering a legal "girlfriend experience or an escort arrangement." "It would seem to me that the district attorney is almost pandering to the judge to try to facilitate a plea disposition," Mr. Heller said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. "I've never seen something like that, frankly." Mr. Heller said he had left the decision on accepting a plea offer entirely up to Mr. Itzler. He said some details in the district attorney's letter describing the film deal were inaccurate, perhaps because of Mr. Itzler's "grandiose" manner of speaking. But he declined to discuss the arrangement further. "I am not by any shape or form in a situation where I would ever allow the best interests of a client to be substituted for my own best interests," Mr. Heller said. The state's Son of Sam law, which seeks to prevent criminals from profiting by selling tales of their crimes, would not prohibit Mr. Itzler's deal at this point. The law allows victims to sue for money, but only after a conviction, said Janine Kava, a spokeswoman for the state's Office of Victim Services. Polsky Films, which did not return a telephone call, was founded about six years ago by the brothers Alan and Gabe Polsky, according to Variety magazine. Asked by Variety for the secret to their early successes, the brothers responded, "One word: taste." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti $3 ? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/04/12/china-s-jackie-kennedy-gu-kaila i-and-the-bo-xilai-s-scandal.print.html I volunteer to translate the latest breaking news of coup d'etat from China for ~$3000 or best offer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti W0W ?

"I am Her," she said to herself; she repeated, "Her, Her, Her." Her Gart tried to hold on to something; drowning she grasped, she caught at a smooth surface, her fingers slipped, she cried in her dementia, "I am Her, Her, Her." Her Gart had no word for her dementia, it was predictable by star, by star-sign, by year. But Her Gart was then no prophet. She could not predict later common usage of uncommon syllogisms; "failure complex," "compensation reflex," and that conniving phrase "arrested development" had opened no door to her. Her development, forced along slippery lines of exact definition, marked supernorm, marked subnorm on some sort of chart or soul- barometer. She could not distinguish the supernorm, dragging her up from the subnorm, letting her down. She could not see the way out of marsh and bog. She said, "I am Hermione Gart precisely." She said, "I am Hermione Gart," but Her Gart was not that. She was nebulous, gazing into branches of liriodendron, into network of oak and deflowered dogwood. She looked up into larch that was now dark, its moss-flame already one colour with the deciduous oak leaves. The green that, each spring, renewed her sort of ecstasy, this year had let Her down. She knew that this year was peculiarly blighted. She could not predict the future but she could statistically accept the present. Her mind had been too early sharpened. She could not know that the reason for failure of a somewhat exaggeratedly-planned "education," was possibly due to subterranean causes. She had not then dipped dust-draggled, intellectual plumes into the more modern science that posts signs over emotional bog and intellectual lagoon ("failure complex," "compensation reflex") to show us where we may or where we may not stand. Carl Gart, her father, had been wont to shrug away psychology as a "science." Hermione Gart could not then know that her precise reflection, her entire failure to conform to expectations was perhaps some subtle form of courage. It was summer. She wasn't now any good for anything. Her Gart looked up into liriodendron branches and flat tree leaf became, to her, lily pad on green pool. She was drowned now. She could no longer struggle. Clutching out toward some definition of herself, she found that "I am Her Gart" didn't let her hold on. Her fingers slipped off; she was no longer anything. Gart, Gart, Gart and the Gart theorum of mathematical biological intention dropped out Hermione. She was not Gart, she was not Hermione, she was not any more Her Gart, what was she? two Her Gart stood. Her mind still trod its round. I am Her Gart, my name is Her Gart. I am Hermione Gart. I am going round and round in circles. Her Gart went on. Her feet went on. Her feet had automatically started, so automatically she continued, then stumbled as a bird whirrred its bird oblivion into heavy trees above her. Her Gart. I am Her Gart. Nothing held her, she was nothing holding to this thing: I am Hermione Gart, a failure. Her eyes peered up into the branches. The tulip tree made thick pad, separate leaves were outstanding, separate bright leaf-discs, in shadow. Her Gart peered far, adjusting, so to speak, some psychic lens, to follow that bird. She lost the bird, tried to focus one leaf to hold her on to all leaves; she tried to concentrate on one frayed disc of green, pool or mirror that would refract image. She was nothing. She must have an image no matter how fluid, how inchoate. She tried to drag in personal infantile reflection. She said, "I'm too pretty. I'm not pretty enough." She dragged things down to the banality, "People don't want to marry me. People want to marry me. I don't want to marry people." She concluded, "One has to do something." The woods parted to show a space of lawn, running level with branches that, in early summer, were white with flower. Dogwood blossom. Pennsylvania. Names are in people, people are in names. Sylvania. I was born here. People ought to think before they call a place Sylvania. Pennsylvania. I am part of Sylvania. Trees. Trees. Trees. Dogwood, liriodendron with its green-yellow tulip blossoms. Trees are in people. People are in trees. Pennsylvania three Pennsylvania had her. She would never get away from Pennsylvania. She knew, standing now frozen on the woodpath, that she would never get away from Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania whirled round her in cones of concentric colour, cones . . . concentric . . . conic sections was the final test she failed in. Conic sections would whirl forever round her for she had grappled with the biological definition, transferred to mathematics, found the whole thing untenable. She had found the theorem tenable until she came to conic sections and then Dr. Barton- Furness had failed her, failed her . . . they had all failed her. Science, as Bertram Gart knew it, failed her . . . and she was good for nothing. Music made conic sections that whirled round in circles but she was no good for music and in Pennsylvania it had never occurred to people to paint green on green, one slice in a corner that made a triangle out of another different dimension. Such painting, it was evident to Her Gart (static, frozen in early summer on a woodpath) must lead to certifiable insanity. Seeing in a head that had been pushed too far toward a biological-mathematical definition of the universe, a world known to her as Pennsylvania go round and form worlds within worlds (all green) Her Gart said, "I am certifiable or soon will be." She realised precisely that people can not paint nor put such things to music, and science, as she saw it, had eluded her perception. Science as Carl Gart, as Bertrand Gart defined it, had eluded her perception. Her Gart went on. "I must hurry with the letters." She flung herself down, the letters flung down with her. Pennsylvania contained a serviceable river, more rivers than one dreamt of, torrents of white water running through deep forests. A river and white streams held nothing . . . nothing . . . she wanted sand under bare heels, a dog, her own, some sort of Nordic wolfhound; a dog that would race ahead of her while breakers drew up, drew back; she wanted a dog, nothing else, no one else. She wanted to be alone on some stretch of sand with dunes rising at the back and, behind sand dunes, stretches of fibrous marsh grass, Indian paintbrush and the flat, coloured water lilies. Another country called her, the only thing that would heal, that would blot out this concentric gelatinous substance that was her perception of trees grown closer, grown near and near, grown translucent like celluloid. The circles of the trees were tree-green; she wanted the inner lining of an Atlantic breaker. There was one creature that could save her, a hound, one of her own choosing, such a hound as she had often dreamt of, and one country . . . a long sea-shelf. Pennsylvania could be routed only by another: New Jersey with its flatlands and the reed grass and the salt creeks where a canoe brushed Indian paintbrush. She felt herself go out, out into this water substance. Water was transparent, not translucent like this celluloid treestuff. She wanted to see through reaches of sea-wall, push on through transparencies. She wanted to get away, yet to be merged eventually with the thing she so loathed. She did not struggle toward escape of the essential. She did not sigh as people did in those days, "Well, I'll some day get to Europe." Europe existed as static little pictures, the green and mosaic of several coloured prints of Venice and Venice by moonlight. Paul Potter's Bull and the lithographic prints to ruin Turner's victory. Pictures were conclusive things and Her Gart was not conclusive. Europe would be like that. She had felt no rise of emotion at the turn of speech that led "faculty ladies" in their several manners to coo, "Pollaiuolo at Vicenza, no it was Crivelli, don't you remember, at Verona?" Verona, Vicenza, Venice even, were so many boxes of coloured beads to be strung or to be discarded. Her Gart wanted a nobler affinity. She did not know what it was she wanted. She wanted the Point. She wanted to get to Point Pleasant. She wanted the canoe, she wanted a mythical wolfhound. She wanted to climb through walls of no visible dimension. Tree walls were visible, were to be extended to know reach of universe. Trees, no matter how elusive, in the end, walled one in. Trees were suffocation. "Claustrophobia" was a word that Her Gart had not yet assimilated. "Agoraphobia" rang some bell when Mrs. de Raub said, "I have agoraphobia, fear of the market place you know." Yet though a distant bell rang somewhere, it followed with no wide door opening. Her Gart had no a, b, c Esperanto of world expression. She was not of the world, she was not in the world, unhappily she was not out of the world. She wanted to be out, get out but even as her mind filmed over with grey-gelatinous substance of some sort of nonthinking, of some sort of nonbeing or of nonentity, she felt psychic claw unsheathe somewhere, she felt herself clutch toward something that had no name yet. She clung to small trivial vestiges, not knowing why she so clung. Like a psychic magpie she gathered little unearthed treasures, things she did not want, yet clung to. She said, "What made me think of that slipper pincushion with Maria Frederick embroidered in pinheads on it?" She opened eyes that snapped wide open like metallic open-and-shut doll eyes. The eyes were glass now, not filmed with psychic terror. She saw trees now as trees. She said, "How funny . . . I thought I had got at something and I remembered the green blue ribbon pincushion cut out like a slipper, with Maria Frederick on it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti four & five four It was obvious she could never find it. It was a root whose fibres held her to a small cabinet, to Dresden china brought direct by European forbears and willow patterns, tribal vestiges. Tribes must hold to relics, a cameo and a miniature with braided locks under glass on the reverse side, and several steel engravings of portraits, now ensconsed in their proper galleries. Pennsylvania held her to things of no actual value, small totems that meant some tribal affinities with European races. In Europe were races who had sent out their more energetic and more mysticallyinclined offspring, their scourings and their scions to Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, Carl Gart had found a sort of peace and a submergence of the thing that drove him, that had driven his people to New England and then West to trek back East. In Eugenia Gart, the fibres were rooted and mossed over and not to be disrupted. If Eugenia Gart pulled up her mossgrown fibres, Pennsylvania itself would ache like a jaw from which has been extracted a somewhat cumbrous molar. Eugenia was cumbrous with her affinities but she had grown into the subsoil. Carl Gart was comforted, being at peace in the green shadows after the inland prairies and the stark glare of inimical Atlantic waters. In Hermione Gart, the two never fused and blended, she was both mossgrown, inbedded and at the same time staring with her inner vision on forever-tumbled breakers. If she went away, her spirit would break; if she stayed, she would be suffocated. She remembered the sort of thing that would suffocate her with sentiment; an owl her grandfather had kept in an old loft, a toad her brother had found unearthed near a wellhead in the process of being mortared, a litter of tiny moles about to be crushed flat beneath a garden shovel. She remembered the sort of thing that would mean to her -- Pennsylvania. She did not know that Pennsylvania bears traces of a superimposed county-England and of a luscious beauty-loving Saxony. She could not know that the birdfoot violets she so especially cherished had far Alpine kinsfolk, that the hepaticas she called "American" grew in still more luminous cluster at the base of the Grammont, along the ridges of the Jura, in rock shelves above Leman and the Bodensee. She could not realize that there was affinity with Siberia when long nights beat them indoors and lamps shining upon tables were the same lamps that made Lithuanians look tenderly across dark tablecloths and that made sailors in Cornwall start, listening to sea-shouts. She could not know that no race is in itself integral but that each has its fibres elsewhere. She only felt that she was a disappointment to her father, an odd duckling to her mother, an importunate overgrown, unincarnated entity that had no place here. She realized in some atavistic cranny of her numbed brain that she would be herself and at peace if she had that great hound. Jock, breathing in her face, was an ungracious substitute . . . her instinct was to beat him off as he was not her dog but she saw instantly the inanity of her idea. five Jock was the colour of gingerbread, a homely, smutty colour. Moreover he was the colour of Minnie's overcolourful hair. "Minnie is my sister" had been enjoined on her by Eugenia who said, "In our family my mother never referred to Nell or Carnia as daughters-in-law." Minnie, Her's sister-in-law, therefore, by a rule that had roots moss-grown in Pennsylvania, became by some illogical reasoning "my sister." A sister was a creature of ebony strung with wild poppies or an image of ivory whose lithe hips made parallel and gave reflection of like parallel in a fountain basin. A sister would run, would leap, would be concealed under the autumn sumac or lie shaken with hail and wind, lost on some Lacedaemonian foothill. A sister would have companion hound, Hermione's the more lithe, the more regular in fleetness, her sister's heavier for whelping and more subtle and less of a rival in matter of speed, in manner of springing. A sister who owned such a hound . . . was supplanted by Minnie whose presence poor Jock must inevitably invoke. Jock on a woodpath meant Minnie lurking somewhere, but Minnie this stifling day, would be sure to have a headache. Secure in her preknowledge of Minnie and her headache, Her took the short way. She cut through undergrowth, stood a moment on a small ridge, looked down at a near springhouse. Flies buzzed negligently over wild carrot, and Queen Anne's lace lay powder-green and powder-mauve in heavy shadow. Across a stretch of meadow were the beginnings of kitchen garden, turnedback hotbed frames, an unpretentious kennel. Her stooped to the springhouse door, ascertained that the cream in a blue bowl had astonishingly not "turned," saw two flat pie plates sprinkled with raspberries. She stepped inside the door, heard the cold ripple of the concealed runnel that fed the flat dark stretch of springhouse water. Hermione shivered, seeing a face reflected in the water that was almost as unpleasing to her as the thought of Minnie. Forehead too high, hair too lank, eyes that stared and stared, blobs of inconsequent blackness. A face foreshortened in a slightly rippled surface may give back poor reflection. She did not consider this, remembering only that this summer was to have been her glory. This summer was to have been the summer, the summer for reflection, for a drawing together . . . the hard-earned olive chaplet. Nike, Athene gave her nothing . . . Love had not yet touched her. Gods stood afar off . . . demigods would have needed no encouragement. Her bumped her head on the low door, dazzled by the heavy fall of sunlight. She saw a slight trail of dust hanging above the yew trees. Down the road someone had turned, skirting the Farrand meadows. The Farrands even had found Pennsylvania "dull" and "unrewarding" since the death of Russell Farrand. Her rarely thought of the Farrands, people with too much money. Strung to a pith of loyalty to her "class," she had rarely dared consider what "money" could do. "The Farrands are really nice," Eugenia put in, "though, you know" (tolerantly) "business people." Business people seldom found their way to Gart Grange. It was Minnie's constant wail that "Aunt Lydia had entertained differently in Philadelphia." There was an Aunt Lydia, or had been, whose only tangible totem was a pin tray and two Victorian silver-topped dressing- table boxes which had appeared some days after Minnie's wedding. Aunt Lydia had promised this, had promised that, had, it appeared on careful scrutiny, an address in North Philadelphia which after all (Eugenia said) explained it. Come and go of odd "university ladies," too many sometimes and a dull perception that she, Her Gart, knew the very best people who after all (in Philadelphia) were so distinguished in their modest way and in their European affinities that she knew she would have small hope of cutting through them with any ulterior criticism. There was one thing left her to criticise . . . it was Her Gart precisely. "I know that I'm too old here" answered it. She was too old for this; "Mrs. Tryon have another teacake." Her mathematics and her biology hadn't given her what she dreamed of. Only now she knew that failing at the end meant fresh barriers, fresh chains, a mesh here. The degree almost gained would have been redemption, something she hardly realized, tutoring or something, teaching . . . something she had an inkling would bring her in, would have brought her in a "salary." Demigods were far off . . . but gods were watching. She had the temerity to boast some sort of odd mind, the sort of thing that, in Philadelphia, could not see cones as of light set within cones, as of darkness. "I failed in conic sections." The mind, galvanized almost to the point of extinction, had turned inward, had thrust Her Gart backward. The mind that had been a sort of lure, "Come here, a little further," had denied Her. The gateway had been reached but at the last the gate had been slammed on Her. Her did not realize that the watching-near God had slammed a gate so that she should attain a wider vision. In Philadelphia people did not realize that life went on in varying dimension, here a starfish and there a point of fibrous peony stalk with a snail clinging underneath it. Pictures of that sort with a crane shadow passing across a wild cherry half in blossom would have explained something of the sort of painting that she would not have known existed. There was a sort of "composition" of elements that her mind, fused to the breaking point, now apprehended. The catch was that her perception was ahead of her definition. She could put no name to the things she apprehended, felt vaguely that her mother should have insisted on her going on with music. Music might have caught the trail of the grass as she ran on across the meadow and the deep note made by a fabulous bee that sprung into vision, blotting out the edge of the stables, almost blotting out the sun itself with its magnified magnificent underbelly and the roar of its sort of booming. The boom of the bee in her ear, his presence like an eclipse across the sun brought visual image of the sort of thing she sought for . . . it had not occurred to Her to try and put the thing in writing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti the Mad Gardner's song The Mad Gardener's Song by Lewis Carroll He thought he saw an Elephant, That practised on a fife: He looked again, and found it was A letter from his wife.

Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem about Canada, which includes the lines A Nation spoke to a Nation, A Throne sent word to a Throne: "Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own." In the book I'm currently reading, Chesterton repurposes the lines above to talk about the Thomist idea of local autonomy under God: how God doesn't want followers who are automatons, but rather wants followers who are mature and able to make their own decisions. I never thought of this idea with respect to the Commonwealth before, and it's a fascinating metaphor. I always wondered how come H.D.'s 'Helen in Egypt' & 'HERmione' have not been adapted on stage by anyone who appreciated her lyrical genius. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti excommunicate Pound from the forbidden city Pound's contributions to translation and his rapid critical and poetic development during the Vorticist years are reflected in Cathay (1915), translations from the Chinese. In a June, 1915 review in Outlook, reprinted in The Critical Heritage, Ford Madox Ford declared it "the best work he has yet done;" the poems, of "a supreme beauty," revealed Pound's "power to express emotion ... intact and exactly." Sinologists criticized Pound for the inaccuracies of the translations; Wi-lim Yip, in his Ezra Pound's Cathay, admitted, "One can easily excommunicate Pound from the Forbidden City of Chinese studies"; yet he believed that Pound conveyed "the central concerns of the original author" and that no other translation "has assumed so interesting and unique a position as Cathay in the history of English translations of Chinese poetry." In The Pound Era, Kenner pointed out that Cathay was an interpretation as much as a translation; the "poems paraphrase an elegiac war poetry.... among the most durable of all poetic responses to World War I." Perhaps the clearest assessment of Pound's achievement was made at the time by T. S. Eliot in his introduction to Pound's Selected Poems; he called Pound "the inventor of Chinese poetry for our time" and predicted that Cathay would be called a "magnificent specimen of twentieth-century poetry" rather than a translation. who's Wi-lim Yip? http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/ezra-pound another MLP http://librivox.org/cathay-by-ezra-pound/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti H.D. 's two books I read are superb PANDORA'S BOX It's all over now, I tell myself. Over and done with. What happened, happened. The past is past. Don't delve and dredge. Cut down on nostalgia, that too can be insidious. Concentrate on the present, gird for the future. But the past will not leave me alone. It pulls me back and under. It surrounds me. The more remote it may be, the closer the encirclement. A couple of years ago, Donald Gallup showed me around the Beinecke Library. Time was short. The tour had to be brief, a mere introduction. We walked the aisles briskly. He pointed out this and that. Shelves of first editions. And unpublished manuscripts, the contents of the proverbial "trunk." Correspondence: endless rows of filing cabinets packed tight, serried, and labelled Lawrence, Pound, Aldington, McAlmon, Stein, Beach, Richardson, Freud. . . . on and on. These people seemed to have spent their lives writing letters. I wondered how they ever got any work done. I was overwhelmed by this collective presence, and all the ideas and conflicts and torments. I resolved to come back. I had legitimate entree. I would immerse myself for days, months -- years. I put it off. I wasn't ready. Too much too soon, and, at the same time, too late -- and much of it disturbing. Pandora's Box. Leave it be, let it lay. So I left it to the professionals, the scholars. They had the time, dedication, patience -- and detachment. I answer queries and consider permissions requests. I read copies of work-in-progress. Pandora's Box has been opened for me, selectively, and not all at once. I face the contents in the privacy of my home. As I expected, there are skeletons and poltergeists. But uplift too, illuminations. I'm learning so much -- a scholars' pupil, trailing them in a postgraduate course of my own. The autobiographical novel, HERmione, has most recently emerged from the "trunk." Completed in 1927. I was present at the creation. Right there, in person. Not there in spirit. Osmosis was absolutely nil. Hush, hush, whisper who dares. "Your mother is working." In her room, behind a locked door. Funny kind of work; endless silence, followed by a barrage of typing. I wanted to be in that room. I resented being hauled away. I didn't know what I know now: that small children and literary endeavor do not mix. I also know now, with the full weight of hindsight, that I was part of a very bizarre menage. We lived in great seclusion, on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. I had two mothers. My real mother, H.D., who lived on an exceedingly rarefied plane. And her surrogate, Bryher, who took care of reality. H.D. was very beautiful, quite magical in appearancetall, gaunt and graceful, with exquisite bone structure and searching grey eyes. She was also very excitable. Her descents into everyday life were an ordeal. She over-reacted. The least disruption set off total frenzy. I worshiped her. I was in awe of her. Maternal love was true, but she showed it sporadically, in sudden impulsive rushes. We did share quiet tender times. They, I, had to be quiet, though. Bryher's ideas veered between free-wheeling experimentation and old-world discipline. "Hippo, hippo" she would yell, pursuing me with a hippo hide whip. And I was stood in corners, and deprived of dessert like any bad Victorian child. Well warranted, I have no doubt. I was often rambunctious. In their different ways, both mothers gave me a lot of affection. I felt cherished. I just never knew what was going to happen next. Lacking any other frame of reference, I accepted that as the norm. H.D.'s official name was Mrs. Richard Aldington, mine Frances Perdita Aldington. What of Mr. Aldington, the missing father? Where was he, why did he never come to see us? My questions were always met with a shush and a change of subject. Bryher was Mrs. Robert McAlmon. He came and went. The mothers complained when he went. When he came, they were a quarrelsome trio. Voices were raised, tables pounded, doors slammed. I liked him. I recognized another loner, not entirely at ease in his surroundings. I tried to console him. I too had a typewriter and a room of my own. I wrote him long letters, "miracles of Gertrude Steinese prose" he later recalled, in Being Geniuses Together. I cut out tiny cardboard Christians and threw them to my collection of stuffed lions. His armchair was the Colosseum, he the audience of thousands. Then the adults would break up our game and start arguing again. And discussing matters way over my head. Bandying odd names. Ezra and Pound -- separate characters I assumed, since I was not really listening to the context. Joyce and Lawrence, whoever they might be. Sylvia Beach; nice name, it sounded like a tall silvery tree. Frances Gregg. "A very dear friend," my mother had once told me, "beautiful and good, that's why I named you Frances Perdita." I was under a table, probably grooming the lions for their next public appearance, when I was startled to hear Bryher, "Don't mention Frances Gregg, ever again. She is very dangerous." Physical danger was the only kind I could imagine. She must be around somewhere, prowling the neighboorhood with a dagger, lurking in ambush. We shared the same name, so she was out to get me. Bryher's edict was enforced. Frances Gregg was never mentioned again. My entourage dispersed now and then, and inexplicably-packing suitcases all of a sudden, talking about London and Paris, agitating over tickets. Although they never let me in on their plans, everything was prearranged, for then two wonderful old ladies arrived to take care of me -- my grandmother, Helen Doolittle, and her sister, my great-aunt Laura. This change of guard transformed the whole atmosphere. They brought calm. They didn't type, they never argued. They were always accessible, and concerned. They listened. They told bedtime stories. They were also very firm. I knew what to expect and what was expected of me. They were so adorable and we had such fun together; I wanted to please them. The hippo whip remained on its hook. It was a wrench when they left. "Don't cry, we'll be back next year." In 1927, I was at last considered old enough to travel. I accompanied H.D. and Bryher to London. Robert McAlmon had dropped out of our group. Grandma joined us without Aunt Laura who had stayed home this time. The two of us rode on buses and explored parks and museums. Then, another emotional parting, at Waterloo Station. A train was carrying her off to the States. The boat train. How would they fit it onto the boat; would she have to stay in her compartment all the way? Foolish questions. No one paid them any heed, not even Grandma, flustered, counting up her luggage. It was all very confusing and sad. She died later that year. Now she has come back; one of those inescapable voices from the past -- in a giant leap and a double loop of chro- nology. Eugenia Gart, Hermione's mother. My mother's mother, not yet my grandmother. The tale is set in an era before I was born. I also meet " Ezra and Pound" as the impetuous suitor, George Lowndes. And the "dangerous" Frances Gregg, alias Fayne Rabb -- the counterpoint of the love story. Not an easy book. It shifts and jumps, and repeats itself. The voice is frequently overwrought -just like the author's in real life. Yet there is a strange hypnotic force. I'm caught up in the momentum. Then held up by jolts of recognition, clues and double clues, references and cross references -- and the play on names. People are in names, names are in people, she says. And further along: names are in people, people are in names. Names, people; split dimensions. The protagonist is a divided personality, Her and Hermione. Hermione of Greek mythology, daughter of Menelaeus and Helen. Also, most significantly to me, Shakespeare's misunderstood heroine of The Winter's Tale, mother of Perdita. Now, having finished the book, I feel deserted. And haunted beyond the last page. What will become of all these people? There should be a sequel. And, of course, there is. Bid me to Live, for one. And more in the trunk. I turn back to the first page, and the dedication. To F. . . . . . September 2. To Frances on her birthday. Also Bryher's birthday, shared in armed truce. Astrologers can make of that what they will. I recognize one certainty in my future. I'll never escape the past.

Wolfinger is the reason George wasn't arrested on that fateful night. Yet Robert, George's father lamented, he has NEVER encountered anything like this black nation's cry for his son's arrest. Is this a good news or a bad news? How should America make its dream come true for all redeemers like George Zimmerman? As far as I can tell, Tryvan Martin got his ticket to heaven with Skittles in his pocket, a fighter's fists by his sides, no gun and no guilt at the time of dying on the scene.

It's fair to say Zimmerman is as stupid as Bush, even a harsh pronouncement to say so, I would hope. But the question I like to find out is if Zimmerman's father is also as stupid as Bush's father. If anybody who read Thomas Clarence's book 'my grandfather's son' would understand that Thomas had a very different childhood, in relationship with his father. And if Martin's father is clever enough to press the matter all the way to those ears of Thomas Clarence. He must understand that it is pointless to compare Mr. Henry Gate's arrest at his own house acting suspicious with the fact that local police chief believed Zimmerman's story and made his decision according to the law. If the law is wrong, what needs to be done to redeem the situation is lawmakers, not law enforcers.

What do you call it when someone takes someone else's money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else's money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice. When an organization has more of its decisions made by committees, that gives more influence to those who have more time available to attend committee meetings and to drag out each meeting longer. In other words, it reduces the influence of those who have work to do, and are doing it, while making those who are less productive more influential. Anyone who studies the history of ideas should notice how much more often people on the political left, more so than others, denigrate and demonize those who disagree with them -- instead of answering their arguments. The wisest and most knowledgeable human being on the planet is utterly incompetent to make even 10 percent of the consequential decisions that have to be made in a modern nation. Yet all sorts of people want to decide how much money other people can make or keep, and to micro-manage how other people live their lives. The real egalitarians are not the people who want to redistribute wealth to the poor, but those who want to extend to the poor the ability to create their own wealth, to lift themselves up, instead of trying to tear others down. Earning respect, including self-respect, is better than being a parasite. Of all the arguments for giving amnesty to illegal immigrants, the most foolish is the argument that we can't find and expel all of them. There is not a law on the books that someone has not violated, including laws against murder, and we certainly have not found and prosecuted all the violators -- whether murderers or traffic law violators. But do we then legalize all the illegalities we haven't been able to detect and prosecute? In the 1920s, Congressman Thomas S. Adams referred to "the ease with which the income tax may be legally avoided" but also said some Congressmen "so fervently believe that the rich ought to pay 40 or 50 per cent of their incomes" in taxes that they would rather make this a law, even if the government would get more revenue from a lower tax rate that people actually pay. Some also prefer class warfare politics that brings in votes, if not revenue. Can you imagine a man who had never run any kind of organization, large or small, taking it upon himself to fundamentally change all kinds of organizations in a huge and complex economy? Yet that is what Barack Obama did when he said, "We are going to change the United States of America!" This was not "The Audacity of Hope."

Buckley made a confession to Corey Robin. Capitalism is boring, said the founding father of the American right. Devoting your life to it, as conservatives do, is horrifying if only because it's so repetitious. It's like sex. With this unlikely conversation began Robin's decade-long foray into the conservative mind. What is conservatism, and what's truly at stake for its proponents? If capitalism bores them, what excites them? Tracing conservatism back to its roots in the reaction against the French Revolution, Robin argues that the right is fundamentally inspired by a hostility to emancipating the lower orders. Some conservatives endorse the free market, others oppose it. Some criticize the state, others celebrate it. Underlying these differences is the impulse to defend power and privilege against movements demanding freedom and equality. Despite their opposition to these movements, conservatives favor a dynamic conception of politics and society--one that involves self-transformation, violence, and war. They are also highly adaptive to new challenges and circumstances. This partiality to violence and capacity for reinvention has been critical to their success. Written by a keen, highly regarded observer of the contemporary political scene, The Reactionary Mind ranges widely, from Edmund Burke to Antonin Scalia, from John C. Calhoun to Ayn Rand. It advances the notion that all rightwing ideologies, from the eighteenth century through today, are historical improvisations on a theme: the felt experience of having power, seeing it threatened, and trying to win it back. ...Shrink ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti self-deceit and self-denial politics is about different ways to overcome fear.

Pay attention to the world http://laurencemiall.com/stuff/pay-attention-to-the-world/ Is there a need to translate the following in English into Chinese? The understanding of the novelist is temporal, rather than spatial or pictural. Its medium is a rendered sense of time - time experienced as an arena of struggle or conflict or choice. All stories are about battles, struggles of one kind or another, that terminate in victory and in defeat. Everything moves toward the end, when the outcome will be known. To be a moral human being is to pay, be obliged to pay, certain kinds of attention. When we make moral judgments, we are not just saying that this is better than that. Even more fundamentally, we are saying that this is more important than that. It is to order the overwhelming spread and simultaneity of everything, at the price of ignoring or turning our backs on most of what is happening in the world. The nature of moral judgments depends on our capacity for paying attention - a capacity that, inevitably, has its limits but whose limits can be stretched. But perhaps the beginning of wisdom, and humility, is to acknowledge, and bow one's head, before the thought, the devastating thought, of the simultaneity of everything, and the incapacity of our moral understanding - which is also the understanding of the novelist - to take this in. Perhaps this is an awareness that comes more easily to poets, who don't fully believe in storytelling. The supremely great early-20th-century Portuguese poet and prose writer, Fernando Pessoa, wrote in his prose summum, The Book of Disquiet: I've discovered that I'm always attentive to, and always thinking about two things at the same time. I suppose everyone is a bit like that ... In my case the two realities that hold my attention are equally vivid. This is what constitutes my originality. This, perhaps, is what constitutes my tragedy, and what makes it comic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti MDC is already locked up in his own wall of texts It's hard not to have pity for him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti two great child watcher & MLPs Freud & Jean Piget http://wen.org.cn/modules/article/view.article.php/716/c13 http://swampland.time.com/2012/03/16/prosecutors-gone-bad-a-tale-of-misconduct-i n-the-ted-stevens-corruption-trial/?iid=tsmodule http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9B%BE%E7%99%BB%E4%B8%8A%E6%99%82%E4%BB%A3%E9%9B %9C%E8%AA%8C%E7%BE%8E%E5%9C%8B%E7%89%88%E5%B0%81%E9%9D%A2%E7%9A%84%E4%B8%AD%E5%9 C%8B%E4%BA%BA%E5%88%97%E8%A1%A8 tl;dr http://duping.net/XHC/show.php?bbs=12&post=1199394 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti the real St. Patrick the real St. Patrick was very much ashamed of his bad Latin.

I list them in a rough chornological sequence; one may say that the violent destruction of the possibilities of grace has forced upon the self the responsibility of adjustment to death. At any rate, there is some justice in assuming that the terms represent three essential phases of our thanatology. Grace is a condition of allowance. The human energy can depend upon it. It is a form of assurance of immortality, with various restrictions and rules. Grace requires an imaginative effort; we must believe in 'miracles as things.' Its effect is to aid us in distributing our native energies; they need not be expended entirely upon current demands, but can be allocated and 'deposited' arranged and postponed. In the expectation or hope of grace, we do evil on an installment basis; we are always aware of the necessary compensatory forms of remorse and peance. If we believe in grace, we also believe in immortality; in short, we believe. Such a circumstance has a remarkable influence upon our power of metaphor. We expend as much of it upon our vision of the postmortem world as upon the description of the word as a way to death. This does not mean that the world is slighted; on the contrary, the assurance of immortality often makes sin more vividly possible; we sin not from despair but in the expectation of a saving grace. It also affects the quality of sin, and in any event makes bothe the commssion of it and the atonement vfor it more specifically, concretely, and vividly active in the range of selfjudgment and self-criticism. I do not suppose that there was ever a time in twentieth-century life when expectations of an eternal life, with proper and discernible sanctions of conduct, were universally or even widely held. It is a matter of degrees of credibility, forms of imaginative effect, phases of partial or almost total suspension of such assurances. Most writers who have concerned themselves with the presence time of grace inthe past, have borrowed the most vividly effective metaphors of grace from history and tradition. Others have conceived of grace as an almost purely personal issue: the search for a means of defining the reality of man's life demands a scope of metaphor that exists not as the sign of belief but as the area of imaginative speculation concerning mortality. The secularization of man's slef-judgment has had an important effect upon his view of grace. Grace is sometimes seen as health, physical or social. That is, it is what we deserve if we are 'scientifically' or 'verifiably' good. In this sense, personal immortality is dissolved into a social immortality. A state is progressively strengthened; evil is gradually purified out of it; and I as citizen, in working toward that future condition of bliss ( not for myself but for my children's children), share posthumously in it. This concept of grace depends upon an almost absolute faith in futures. the Inn of 6th happiness "In the expectation or hope of grace, we do evil on an installment basis; we are always aware of the necessary compensatory forms of remorse and penance. If we believe in grace, we also believe in immortality; in short, we believe. we sin not from despair but in the expectation of a saving grace." How about that? I haven't thought of it, that way. Maybe, it's about time to sin a little again?

Beauty belonged to the family of notions that established rank, and accorded well with a social order unapologetic about station, class, hierarchy, and the right to exclude. What had been a virtue of the concept became its liability. Beauty, which once seemed vulnerable because it was too general, loose, porous, was revealed as - on the contrary - excluding too much.

Because there are, incontestably, zones of experience that are not distressing, that give joy, it becomes, perennially, a puzzle that there is so much misery and wickedness. A great deal of narrative, and the speculation that tries to free itself from narrative and become purely abstract, inquires: Why does evil exist? Why do people betray and kill each other? Why do the innocent suffer? But perhaps the problem ought to be rephrased: Why is evil not everywhere? More precisely, why is it somewhere - but not everywhere? And what are we to do when it doesn't befall us? When the pain that is endured is the pain of others? ... The containment of evil have we done it better with the advent of internet?

He achieves this through his skills at the art of "Naked/Kill", a martial discipline that trains in the use of ordinary items as instruments of death. Hel is then tortured by the Americans and held in solitary confinement without trial, Hel being a citizen of no country. In prison, his physical and mental discipline, along with studying the Basque language from some old books abandoned by a missionary, help him to retain his sanity, although, due to the torture and drugs used in his interrogation, he is no longer able to fully escape mentally and reach his state of peaceful ecstasy. He even develops, in his solitude, a "proximity sense" through which he is aware of any being drawing near (along with its amicable or hostile intentions), and which also allows him to find his way in complete darkness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti ghosting a machine HOW TO FORGE AND BECOME ONE WITH MDC http://www.howtoforge.com/ghosting-the-machine poll below the fold Can I ghost my iPod classic attached to my ubuntu notebook to another remote iPod attached to MDC ?

The greatest successes of Christian missions in Asia, if success is to be measured by numbers, were achieved in the Philippine Islands. They are the only Christian state inf the Far East and the islands were evangelized at a time when they had only an elementary cultural life and no political cohesion. For the most part their tribes were untouched by Hindusim, of which only slight and ancient traces are discernible, and they came under Spanish influence before the power of Islam had spread beyond the Sulu Archipelago." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti "Ahem..."

Job's unspoken role "The big thing about Steve Jobs is not his genius or his charisma but his extraordinary risk-taking," Jobs biographer Alan Deutschman told the Times. "Apple has been so innovative because Jobs takes major risks, which is rare in corporate America." But few--if any--focused on Jobs' unspoken role at Apple: as an editor. During a 2007 joint interview with Bill Gates at the All Things Digital conference, Jobs described his role in those terms. "People are inventing things constantly," Jobs said while discussing how Apple determines features for new products, like the iPhone. "The art of it is deciding what's on and what's not on there--the editing function." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti therevolutionscript http://therevolutionscript.blogspot.com/p/comrades-of-revolution-script.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti +1 for MDC to have his own section http://www.kuro5hin.org/comments/2011/11/10/1010/5316 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i'd blame it on Yankee accent totally intolerable! a misunderstanding that is still accelerating between Brits and USians. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti unixes!sexinu another great man bites the dust.

Many of Handel's friends and supporters tried their best to convert him to English opera, but to no avail. In 1733 some of his friends, colleagues, and former patrons decided to repay his arrogance by defecting from the Royal Academy to form what has come to be called the 'Opera of the Nobility', with the Prince of Wales at its head. At the end of the 1734 opera season, Handel suffered the indignity of having the King's Theatre let to the momentarily prosperous Opera of the Nobility. reminds me of ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Commentaries Do you know 60 mins. commentator Andy Rooney was suspended for three months without pay during his career?

The problem with enforcing comments is you're enforcing their existence, not their content and simply having a comment isn't ever going to be enough. The code metric tools don't enforce quality, just quantity. So ask people around you if it's more important to have lots of comments or if it's important to have better comments.

In 1998, Denis Dutton's journal Philosophy and Literature gave Butler First Prize in its "Bad Writing Competition," which claims to "celebrate bad writing from the most stylistically lamentable passages found in scholarly books and articles."[39] Butler's 94 word long sentence, published in the journal Diacritics, for which she received the award was: The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power. Dutton discontinued the contest after being criticized for its apparently hostile spirit.[40] Butler responded to Dutton's criticism, with a letter to the London Review of Books and an op-ed piece for The New York Times. She argued that writing clearly can make the author too reliant on common sense and as such make language lose its potential to "shape the world" and shake up the status quo.[41][42] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti whose network do you put your computing power in is always more important. networking is computing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Attn: LilDebbie what will you do if you are passenger on this bus? i still plan to go to 'woman on target' clinic tomorrow if I wake up not too late, that is. lol. those commentaries $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti my private permit unfortunately, I've been held hostage at gunpoint, so my poetic justice is a bit skewed than others who might still consider 10 commandments from elders teaching of law abiding obligation, in theory, to request permission from government to protect oneself's 'life, liberty and happiness' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Concealed carry association Are you a member?

"The numberless tender kisses, the soft caresses" have no part in the epic. But there is a miraculous birth. The promised Euphorion is not one child but two. It is 'the child in Chiron's cave' and the 'frail maiden', stolen by Theseus from Sparta. I only saw him from the ramparts and on the desolate beach, and we talked apart in the temple; true, we followed a track in the sand though we spoke but little, and the absolute, final spark, the ember, the Star had no personal intimate fervour; was it desire? it was Love, it was Death, but what followed before, what after? a thousand-thousand days, as many mysterious nights, and multiplied to infinity, the million personal things, things remembered, forgotten, remembered again, assembled and re-assembled in different order as thoughts and emotions, the sun and the seasons changed, and as the flower-leaves that drift fro ma tree were the numberless tender kisses, the soft caresses, given and received; none of these came into the story, it was epic, heroic and it was far from a basket a child upset and the spools that rolled to the floor; and if I think of a child of Achilles, it is not Pyrrhus, his son, they called Neoptolemus, nor any of all the host that claimed as father, the Myrmidon's Lord and Leader, but the child in Chiron's cave; and if I remember a child that stared at a stranger and the child's name is Hermione, it is not Hermione I would stoop and shelter, remembering the touch on my shoulder, the enchanter's power. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti do you know paddypatel?$ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i wonder what made her writing that story in defense of the afflicted ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti there are tons of proposals and passages as Chinese saying goes 'man proposes, god disposes'. why that particular one? i suspect she had sex with her uncle ( reference: film 'summer time') are you aware of this BBC scandal?

Where's 'Courage to Be'? My impression that a same-sex relationship is a rebellion at the deepest level is the result of reading John Paul II's "Theology of the Body", a book that should be required reading for all priests, and for anyone like yourself who wants to understand in depth the reason why a same-sex relationship is a rebellion against God's plan for ever person at the deepest level. Adam and Eve fell after their rebellion, and one curse that followed was the man and woman being severed from each other, and with Jesus' arrival man and woman could now be restored in fullness and once again be the image and likeness of God. From a Trinitarian perspective, the severing of man and woman is the worst thing that has ever occurred since the dawn of time, for God (from a Christian perspective) is a relationship between father, son and spirit. And the Church has long held that the domestic church best exemplifies the image and likeness of God, and why man and woman in union is the image and likeness of God, which reveals best our godlikeness. And a child being born completes the Trinitarian image, and it is obvious to a Christian parent that a child is the best guru (spirit of truth) an adult will ever encounter, for to respond in love to the many needs of a child means daily sacrifice, and the deepest revelation from God is the son sacrificing himself on the cross out of love for every human being. Our true identities are discovered in the image and likeness of God, and that can occur only from a nuptial perspective, and why the nuptuality of man and woman in union (becoming who they really are, the image of the radically deep relationship that is God, so much so that they become one, imaging the oneness of the three persons of the Trinity). To be one with an other requires complimentarity, for without it the other is a reflection, a narcissistic image that makes complimentarity impossible. Therefore, a same-sex union is not union at all, and in sexual terms it is an elaborate form of masturbation. Even my daughter at the young age of 15 got this: "You don't understand, dad: it's easier for a man to be with a man than a woman, because the man is just like him. Being with a woman is threatening because in that relationship one fears losing oneself." Exactly: one dies and is born again more whole, more of who one genuinely is, the Trinitarian image of God. To rebel against being the image and likeness of God has to be the deepest rebellion of all, for it is a rebellion against one's real identity in the image and likeness of God. In other words, it is a question of identity, to be or not to be oneself, who one genuinely is. And yes, remarriage without an annulment or using birth control are forms of rebellion (when a Catholic rebels against the Magisterium, he/she rebels against God), but from what I described above it should be clear that that rebellion doesn't go as deep as a same-sex relationship. that decision wasn't an easy one$ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti must be divine attrition $ personally, i don't even like your pissing all over public section. get lost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti what did you do to Tyler Durden? $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti condensed matter -> triolet or sonnet $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti sexual harassment at Oscon Tim says No-no As Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher said, "Losing the way of life, men rely first on their fitness; Losing fitness, they turn to kindness; Losing kindness, they turn to justness; Losing justness, they turn to convention.

I am giving away a copy of her signed book 'The Gods' Eyes: Stories From the Father Line' today in celebration of Father's Day. Family history is transformed into myth. Whether we know or not, our ideas about the family are rooted in the ways we imagine the family. In his longing and melancholy he (Odysseus) asks a famous question: Does any person know who his father is? It's a question many men and women ask in various forms. If my father is dead, or if he was absent and cold, or if he was a tyrant, or if he abused me, or if he was wonderful but is not here for me now, then who is my father now? ... How can I evoke a fatherly myth in a way that will give my life the governance it needs? True fatherhood is evoked not by a flexing of muscle but by initiation into the family and culture in a profound, transformative way. It may also require a visit to our own depths and a conversing with figures of memory both personal and cultural. Education in history and literature, when done with sufficient depth, can make good fathers. -- Thomas Moore, 'Care of the Soul' Poll ---> my pope's favorite song Nelson Eddy singing Stout-Hearted Men. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti wait a second the second line: You who have dreams, if you act they will come true.

SULLIVAN DON'T HUNG UP ON NJ well, the facebook community 'DON'T HUNG UP ON NJ' caught my attention. from http://technoverseblog.com/ New state telecom and cable regulations are not the stuff of compelling headlines. But here in New Jersey, the optimistically named "Market Competition and Consumer Choice Act" , which was recently approved in the Assembly, has actually attracted the attention of our local news outlets. Also known as A-3766 ( S-2664 for Senate folks), this legislation has managed the neat trick of drawing complaints from both consumer groups and local municipalities. This latest effort to modify cable franchising rules can be seen as the end-game to a 2006 law that introduced state-wide franchising (aka "The Verizon Act"). In 2006, NJ along with several other states that year (California, Virginia, North and South Carolina,Indiana, and Kansas) updated their cable laws to allow new players (phone companies) to enter the cable television market in a more significant way. Rather than having to negotiate with different municipalities (over coverage, franchise fees, public access channels, free Internet access for libraries, etc), cable operators of any stripe in these states could obtain state-wide franchises to lock in a single franchise rate. Usually these state agreements had less demanding coverage requirements. In NJ's version, the law was written so that if a company already "has plant or equipment in use for the provision of any consumer video, cable or telecommunications service" (read Verizon), it could apply directly to NJ's public utility board for a franchise. In exchange for this fast track rule, a NJ "system-wide" franchise holders would pay going forward a higher franchise rate, 3.5% of gross revenues, to municipalities rather than a 2% rate for agreements worked out through direct municipal consent. The law let existing rate arrangements by incumbents (Comcast, Comvision) with towns and cities remain as is even if the rates were above 2%. The policy idea behind system-wide franchising was to encourage more competition. So far, so good. NJ municipalities liked the new rules: less headaches, more revenue, and their rights-of-way prerogatives were intact (as long as they were reasonable and non-discriminatory). Your state's politics may be different, but those of us living in NJ could easily conceive why Verizon or AT&T would rather not negotiate with every duchy and semi-autonomous republic in the Garden State. State cable rules are a balancing act between encouraging investments from carriers while extending broadband coverage, protecting consumers, and satisfying municipal leaders. On the last point, A-3766s targeted modifications to the current cable franchise equilibrium have met with disapproval from the NJ League of Municipalities, the very same group that had originally supported the 2006 law. One of their objections (a good one in my opinion) is that it removes a provision--subsection h of Section 28 of the cable statute, ahem--which would have required system-wide franchise holders to "to match or surpass any line extension policy operative at the time the system-wide franchise is granted." In other words, the new players would need to do as well as the incumbents rather than, say cherry-pick their coverage. And the new law is on auto-pilot when it comes to renewal of state-wide franchises, which have a period 0f seven years. As long as the franchise-holder (Verizon) is in a competitive franchise area (two or more operators), the renewal is guaranteed for another seven, and the NJ utility board has no say in the matter. Hmmmm. Let's see what the NJ Senate does with this rather bold gambit. sounds like a good idea but is it, really ?

(Photo: Michael Okoniewski for The New York Times) What are you working on? I'm working on my third memoir, "Lit," which concerns my journey from blackbelt sinner and lifelong agnostic to unlikely Catholic (maybe not the Pope's favorite, but still an on-my-knees spouter of praise and beggar for favors). If I don't get hit by a Red Ball truck, HarperCollins will publish it in a minute and we'll all make some dough. How much time -- if any -- do you spend on the Web? Is it a distraction or a blessing? For days on end, I avoid the Web, never logging in until about two or three, after I've written all morning. On a good week, I don't go online till after Wednesday, so four or five days might lapse without my checking e-mail. It's a barrage of requests for me to do things I didn't think up first, though the Web does help me to find poems online fast, and buy books on various websites, plus dictionary.com, plus my burgeoning iPod downloads (Mingus; Oh yeah: Awadagin Pratt playing Beethoven and Bach; plus The Roots this week). The audiobooks I buy are never first-time reads - only rereadings of books I know well that I find intoxicating. So I'm relistening to "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy right now as I sit in traffic en route to my boyfriend's house in Westchester; or the poems of Elizabeth Bishop; or Seamus Heaney lecturing on Hopkins, Yeats and Frost. In the sense that the technology lets me snuggle up to those voices, it's a gift. However, I prefer to speak to pals with my brain cancer-incurring cell phone. Whose books are generally shelved next to yours in bookstores? How does it feel to be sitting between them? Age about 30, I stopped looking up my books in bookstores. Paying attention to the marketplace isn't a healthy thing for me. So I'm gonna make up how I'd like my latest poetry collection, "Sinners Welcome," to get merchandized. In a perfect world, it would sit between Saphho and Shakespeare, Philip Larkin and Robert Lowell, Louise Gluck and Robert Hass, Heather McHugh and Terrance Hayes, cozied up to Dean Young and Franz Wright, squeezed between Wallace Stevens and T.S. Eliot, Apollinaire and Celan, Brooks Haxton and the young Courtney Queeney. In a dream scenario, my memoirs - "The Liar's Club" and "Cherry" - would find another shelf. They'd sit between St. Augustine and Nabokov's "Speak, Memory"; or Tobias Wolff's "This Boy's Life" and Michael Herr's "Dispatches"; Mary McCarthy's "Memories of a Catholic Girlhood" and Maxine Hong Kingston's "Woman Warrior"; Michael Ondaatje's "Running in the Family" and the diaries of Witold Gombrowicz; Primo Levy's "Survival at Auschwitz" and Richard Wright's "Black Boy." In reality, my prose books probably sit between "I Was a Teenage Sex Slave" and some other contemporary memoir written in five minutes by somebody who'd never before held a pencil in his hand. I get about five memoirs per week in my mailbox, and few of them inspire anything but a desire to pick up the channel changer. another good writer from psychologytoday http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/tribal-intelligence/201003/why-are-we-afraid -uncertainty http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/tribal-intelligence/201010/doubting-clarence -thomas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti David Brock Hi guys, I am into David Brock.

In my mind, beyond reasonable doubts, Timothy Hennis is the murderer. But what triggered that evil deed? An innocent woman put out a good fight against his raping instinct, sacrificing her own life and two of her three young daughters. And what prevented old age Hennis to make an honest confession after 25 years of escaping the murder conviction? A good fight almost always ends in tragic terms. If I were army wife Katie Eastburn, would I fight Timothy's aggression on my own terms, unlike the norm reflexive reaction? I honestly wouldn't know. Timonthy is convicted of murder and his defense team is still appealing his death penalty by the military tribunal.

His works attribute significant weight to the impact of Confucianism and Taoism on the pace of Chinese scientific discovery, and emphasizes what it describes as the 'diffusionist' approach of Chinese science as opposed to a perceived independent inventiveness in the western world. Needham's accusations against Confucianism and Taoism can arguably be seen as simply reflecting early Chinese Communist hostility to these rival thought systems.[7][8][9] promotion in the army why don't you seek promotion in the army by doing something spectacular? 1.

Until the time of the enlightenment, however, this question was asked, both by protestant and by catholic theologians, within a social framework in which, in one way or another, the existence of God was to a great extent accepted. Now, on the other hand, we live at a time and in a society which are 'secular' and the problem is therefore quite differently situated. Before attempting to answer the question of whether the way can be opened rationally to the mystery of God, we must first examine whether the question itself is still meaningful. This is no longer taken simply for granted, as it was in the past. Is this question, precisely as a question, still meaningful or intelligible in a world which has been subjected to the criticism of religion made by such thinkers as Feuerbach, Marx, Freud, Marcuse and, at least indirectly, Einstein? IF, in the light of what I have said, the old question were reformulated, it would have to be expressed in the following way: is it possible meaningfully to prove the existence of God from the standpoint of an atheistic, secular interpretation of the world? Expressed in this way, the question would of course be meaningless. ... Because man experiences so much that is meaningless in his own life, in society and even in the churches, it is quite impossible for him to be reconciled with his fate, with his fellow-men and with society as a whole. It is only possible for him to be fully reconciled with the whole of reality, that is, to be in a state of justification, when meaningfulness and meaninglessness are no longer insanely interwoven and when fully realized meaning is actively experienced. This situation can be described as 'salvation', being whole. IT can also be called the eschaton or perfect fulfillment of meaning without any threat, and shalom or eschatological peace stimulating us to establish peace here and now in our history. ... Man can certainly avoid the question concerning the ultimate meaning of being man theoretically, that is in thought, but he cannot avoid it in action. He has in fact already answered this question in his human praxis, in a positive or a negative sense or by a nihilistic or sceptical attitude to life. He acts in the conviction that life itself is or is not worth living. In this, an important part is played by the datum of evil, the datum of what is, from the human point of view, meaningless. Evil has clearly been a datum of such great proportions in human history that neither man nor society can offer us any guarantee at all that we shall ever be able to overcome it. ... Individually and collectively, man needs emancipation and redemption. However this may be formulated and however inhumanly it may sometimes be expressed, this is undoubtedly man's deepest experience. The answer which christianity gives to this deepest human need is this: it is right to look for man's emancipation and, what is more, this emancipation is a positive possibility as the grace of God which has to be given definite form in history, a form which is peace, justice and love. Christian talk about God is therefore only negatively and indirectly open to universal understanding and acceptance, in other words, it takes place via the experience that the humanum is always threatened, perhaps above all by its premature positive identification. To the question of the meaning that is contained within the radical historical question that man himself is, man himself gives a practical answer: on the one hand, resistance to the inhumane, though this, on the other hand, often causes the humanum to be even further degraded through false identification. it means half-ass shutup is what _you need to do $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti guess whut? who's got my kind of shoes?

'Ecstatic Reason' Some years later a birthday party was given for me, marking the half-century point of my life. At the Party, Paulus made a short speech. In typical German fashion, he recounted my career, ending with the statement that the thing that impressed him above all was my struggle against tuberculosis. The guests demanded a reply. As I got to my feet I had a strange thought. After expressing deep appreciation to Paulus for all I had learned from him and all he had meant to me as a friend, mentor and spiritual father, I said I had often wondered how I would have turned out if I had never met Paulus. And I found myself saying that I thought I would have turned out about the same. This statement greatly surprised even me. But that evening Hannah was nodding her head vociferously, and Paulus also nodded a quieter agreement. What I meant was that a person finds the human beings he needs to guide him, to influence him. The Grek concept of entelechy has always impressed me: that the ultimate form is contained in the seed, and the tree or animal or human being grows toward this form, malformed though he may be in the process....

For any foreigner desires to learn Classic Chinese, through technology and internet, his goal can be achieved more readily than if he wishes for a theology degree or to become a priest in Christian countries" I wonder if Soren Kierkegaard would approve my approach of preaching His Christianity in this way. After all, I come up with my missionary statement before reading his diary of instruction. " ; " " ; " Oh, Luther Luther, what a vast responsibility is yours, after all, for as I look closer I see more and more clearly that while you did overthrow the Pope, you enthroned 'the Public' in his stead. You changed the New Testament's concept of 'Martyrdom,' taught men to bring home victory by means of numbers. To be a Christian July 2 (1855) Of all torments, being a Christian is the most terrible; it is - and that is how it should be - to know hell in this life. What is a human being most terrified of? Most likely of dying, and most of all of the death-agony, therefore wishing it to be as brief as possible. But to be a Christian means to be in a state of dying - ( you must die off, hate yourself) - and yet, after that, you have to live on, maybe for 40 years, in that state! ... Add to this the sore doubts that assail a Christian in which the possibility of offense is present, seeking at every instant to avail itself of an opportunity for scandal: viz. that this is supposed to be God's love; this is supposed to be the God of Love about whom, since childhood, you have been told everything but this! And yet He is love, infinite love, but He can only love you if you are dying, and yet it is mercy, infinite mercy having eternal torment changed into temporal torment. But woe unto them, the hosts of sworn liars, woe unto them, that they have taken the keys to Heaven, and not only refuse to enter themselves, but also prevent others from entering. NOW BOW TO THE QUEEN OF YOUR DUMPYARD CHRISTIAN LAND The New Proverb 211 The Retreat We are now about to make a withdrawal of a special kind. The problems must be taken back to the convent from which Luther broke away - that, I believe, will probably be the truth. That is not to say, however, that the Pope will triumph now, nor will it be papal gendarmes who will have to take the problem back to the convent. What was wrong with convents was not their ascetic aspect, celibacy, etc; no, what was wrong was that they had been permitted to become lax about Christianity by letting the cloistered ones come to be regarded as extra-ordinary Christians - and purely secular rubbish as extra-ordinary Christianity. No, asceticism and everything pertaining to it is merely the beginning, the preliminary condition for being able to bear witness to the Truth. So Luther's veering was wrong; it was not a question of slackening the Christian demands, but of tightening them. That is why I have always wondered whether God really was on the Lutheran side, for wherever God is present progress will be recognizable by mounting demands, by the cause becoming harder. On the other hand, the human way is always recognizable by matters being made easier; and that is called progress. So what was wrong in the Middle Age were not convents and asceticism; what was wrong was that worldliness actually achieved supremacy when monks were made to parade as extra-ordinary Christians. No, first be an ascetic, which means gymnastics; then bear witness to the Truth, which quite simply means being a Christian - and good night, you million, trillions and quadrillion. Luther should have veered in that way, or he should have made it clear that by the turn he took the Christian claim was cut down even further owing to the prevailing, ever more rampant, wretchedness of the human race. 203 Quarrelling with people about what Christianity is is a mistake, for with very few exceptions their tactics aim at warding off understanding or learning what Christianity is, because they suspect that it is rather easy to grasp, but also that it would interfere with their lives. 194_The New Proverb_ "I really do believe that Lying is a science," said the Devil; he was attending lectures at Kiel university.

He translated the second book of Weininger 'On Last Things'. In it, "Weininger takes up the challenge of explaining what Peer Gynt is really about, and what makes it Ibsen's greatest play. Weininger is a sort of pioneer 'supertextualist' someone who treats Ibsen not as primarily a poet, nor as a social realist with a political agenda, but as an artist expressing a philosophy. He argues that Ibsen, although not a learned philosopher or psychologiest, nonetheless has an intuitive understanding of human psychology. The theory is taht it is the individual that is the locus of moral value, and that each person has a vocation, a purpose, to seek the highest value possible for his life. Ibsen shows his intuitive understanding of this by portraying Peer Gynt as the exact opposite." "In 2008, Theater in the Open in Newburyport, Massachusetts, produced a production of Peer Gynt adapted and directed by Paul Wann and the company. Scott Smith, whose great, great grandfather (Ole Bull) was one of the inspirations for the character, was cast as Gynt." It would be interesting to know if Scott Smith will hold his ancestry to continue to be an endearing inspiration and agree, at the same time, with Steven Burns' assessment that 'He (Peer) is an inconsistent, deceitful and self-deceitful character. Peer has no sense of guilt. He flits hopefully from adventure to adventure, always seeking a meaning for his life, but it is clear that he would not recognize such a thing if he found it.' Now what is "Eternal solipsism of the female mind" meant to say for all aspiring Scott Smith transplanted in new England and the new world order? "It is an interesting consequence of this ingenious view that Peer in the final analysis must be using the actual Solveig (lover) as a means. This paradox leads Weininger to conclude his essay with a consideration of male/femal relations in some of Ibsen's other plays, as well as in that the woman ( at least as pure archetype) may have only negative potential, as 'the mirror of the man's striving for self-discovery". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Marvin Cheiten's two new plays When I was buying tickets for afternoon's play 'Oh, Deer!' at Princeton Murray theater this afternoon, there was this man behind me who looked suspiciously familiar somehow. And it turns out, he is playwright, Marvin Cheiten! I am a bit baffled by the fact that Princeton Intime theater was putting on Mr. Cheiten new plays one after another, as if he is the only playwright in town and in time. We saw 'Touching the goddess' last summer. And this summer 'Oh Deer'! Both directed by Dan Berkowitz. I haven't seen his other pop-play, Miss connections which earned this good review on US. 1. I can totally imagine Mr. Cheiten a successfully employed playwright during those unfortunate years of cultural revolution in China. His plot and his play empowered actors and actresses to use plain and simple body languages to label each and every character from screenplay to the stage so that there can be no misunderstanding as to who is to be laughed at, who ought to have our sympathy and who is to be damned. No wonder my 8 years old really enjoyed the performance. When he walked out of that theater, he feels himself as smart as he ever was if not even a bit more. He knows the bad guy from the very beginning! but how to prove it? Acting is fun and is the proof in itself. In the end, I feel envy of Mr. Cheiten's good fortune of returning to his student year's compassionate study of French literature. Producing cultural scene not entirely for his own pleasurable senses, but for other like-minded performing artists under his wings of imagination. Unfortunately, I don't feel particularly entertained but become more worry-some. Poetry is dead. Tragedy isn't sell this year.

Also, Llull is recognized as pioneer of computation theory, especially due to his great influence on Gottfried Leibniz." I am reading his "Disconsolation".

Importantly, it asks a subtly different question about variation. Typically, when you encounter explanations of natural selection, it's usually along the lines of: "There are a bunch of grey ones, and a bunch of brown ones. Under the right ecological circumstances, the grey ones replace the brown ones." Neutral theory starts from the (obvious) assumption that a novel allele (gene variant) initially occurs as a single copy in a population. So, if we consider a population of 1,000 diploid organisms (critters that, like us, have two copies of every gene), the initial frequency of that novel allele is one in two thousand. If the allele is neutral--does not confer a reproductive or survival advantage--it will become the dominant allele ('sweep to fixation') with a probability of one in two thousand (I'm leaving out some math). However, since it is rare, it will most likely go extinct due to genetic drift: the odds of that allele surviving more than a few generations are very slim (in fact, it has a 37% chance of disappearing by the next generation). In this model, selection acts as a nudge that increases the probability that the now advantageous allele will not disappear. In the same population, if the allele has a two percent fitness advantage, which is quite large for most alleles in natural populations, the advantageous allele will likely disappear...over 96% of the time. This is not Panglossian at all. But it gets worse. An allele with a weak negative effect on fitness--it lowers fitness--can also sweep to fixation. In the same population, an allele with a cost of 0.1% has a 0.4% chance of 'beating out' the 'good' allele. That doesn't sound so bad, until we remember that humans have around 20,000 genes (as do many other eukaryotic organisms). Oh dear. Let's throw in one more complication: effective population size. You'll notice that I stipulated a population size of a thousand. Actually what I meant is the effective population size which considers that not all individuals reproduce, and that the breeding range of populations within a species can be quite small. For example, the effective population size of Finnish wolves is forty (even though the total number of wolves is around 250). To keep things simple, the smaller the population size, the stronger the advantage of a rare allele has to be to overcome removal by random chance (conversely, small population sizes also make it easier to fix 'bad' alleles). In other words, the fitness of an allele is contingent on those stupid fucking natural history facts. If volcanic eruptions subdivide a species, for instance, the likelihood that an adaptive allele will become predominant decreases--and has nothing to do with genetics. So let's move to the long arc of evolution. Unless selection is really strong, it will take a long time to purge a population of the less fit allele. In the case of an allele with a two percent advantage in a population with an effective size of 1,000, it will take around 1,500 generations to eliminate the less fit allele. That's a long time for crap to hang around. Let's review: 1) More fit alleles have a high chance of going extinct. 2) On occasion, less fit alleles will replace more fit alleles. 3) Whether an allele is more fit in part depends on the population size. The fitness of an allele is contingent on those stupid fucking natural history facts. 4) It takes a really long time to purge less fit alleles. Consequently, until Glorious Equilibrium Day Draweth Nigh, populations are full of a lot of genetic flotsam. But natural selection is supposedly the theologically challenging part? Nothing I've described here is news to evolutionary biologists or geneticists: this is taught in introductory evolution courses. Yet most people are completely unaware of the neutral theory, even though it was a raging debate in population genetics for decades. Here are the potential explanations I came up with for its 'popular' absence: 1) Math is hard and icky[/snark]. Probably not good fodder for a newspaper article. On the other hand, this doesn't explain why it's not discussed in books. 2) Math is hard and icky, part deux. Maybe science popularizers don't understand it very well? 3) Perhaps there's a concern that explaining natural selection is hard enough, and that neutral theory would simply confuse the issue. 4) The scientists who popularize science fall into the 'selectionist' camp, and they're not interested in writing about this. 5) This is a population genetics approach to evolution, and that is underrepresented in popular treatments of evolution. Other ideas? And how do we make it accessible to non-scientists? Cuz it's kinda important. http://scienceblogs.com/mikethemadbiologist/2010/04/the_arc_of_evolution_is_long _a.php ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti immortal cells of Henrietta yarrr. why not ME? taking MEMEME, becoming the immortal cancerous cell ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti tell us your secret life and we'll vote for you to get out of the closet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti vote this up for webby award 'secret life of grrlscientist' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti you left me out? bummer // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i am older than you on K5 that's all you need to know, i suppose... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti are you sure it's a cat not a crabby? she can change the subject and fool you, you know? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti dare to be gay for angry pubic $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti he forgot network is all about teamwork ?! // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti if Terry Childs the janitor genuinely believed that only he and nobody else dare to stick the finger up his boss' behind to prevent this beautiful city hall from falling unto dust, I'd give the man his credit where the credit is due.

(ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook, to be exact) Since last week, a 'PC virus protector' program tells me that my PC is infected with virus. It wouldn't let me run any programs, not even 'add and remove' in the control panel to remove that sucker 'PC protector' program. The only thing this Protector can do is shutting down the OS or send my browser to a site that sell the real Protector program for over $50. Isn't that great? so I started booting into debian squeeze ( btw, what kind of distro calls itself 'squeeze'? ) and remembered how to bring up wlan0 and fixed LXDE by installing the bulkier kdm since gdm wasn't working to bring up LXDE when I first started restoration project in anticipation of XP suckage right after purchasing this pink eeePC around Thanksgiving(?) Now I'm surfing with Iceweasel ( what stupid name for a browser can they come up with). Chinese fonts aren't showing up. bummer Almost unbearable casualty of this switching to the Linux-fag world is the losing of double-click touch-pad functionality. My fingers were getting used to make that swift tapping instead of dumb thumb's pressing those dumb left/right mouse-pad buttons. Now, that's a task and a job for bored-to-tears Kuron soft-ware programmers. Anybody interested in more system specs? have a nice day. my fingers weren't need to use _any_ button in my previous pinky world, double tapping instantiate action like the apple one-button mouse pressing of the one and only button. I am quite used to one button mouse but since i encounter the best pinky design of touch-pad i denounced any button pressing other than spacing keystrokes with my thumbs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i just have one of my workstation at work sent to windows world help desk.

Amen. what Holocaust is all about? Arendt's first major book was The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), which traced the roots of Stalinist Communism and Nazism in both anti-Semitism and imperialism. The book was controversial because it suggested, arguably, that an essential identity existed between the two phenomena. She further contends that Jewry was not the operative factor in the Holocaust, but merely a convenient proxy. Totalitarianism in Germany, in the end, was about megalomania and consistency, not eradicating Jews.

These I forswore In my novitiate, as young men called To holy orders must abjure the world "If ..., then," this only I assert; And my successes are but pretty chains Linking twin doubts, for it is vain to ask If what I postulate be justified Or what I prove possess the stamp of fact Yet bridges stand, and men no longer crawl In two dimensions.

Examples include... type-diagram-for-function-spaces I think that my method of constructing theoretical framework is just as good as his. what do ya think? how many dimensional meanings number 4 has? Question on number 4 ... interesting ways of interpreting the meaning of number 4: CASE 1 Re Tim's comment. First philosophical: I think I mentioned that everything and anything lives in a context; natural in the way our intuition leads us. Admitedly this is a vague notion, it is something we tend to agree on - or at least not needlessly argue over. There is a funny anecdote about the use of a similar term - random. The famed (or infamous, depending on how well you knew him) Frank Harary used to say that a random graph is a square with a single diagonal (whichever) because when he drew one at random, he would always draw that particular one. To stress the point, formalism, certainly since Godel 1930 earth-shaking discovery, has been on shaky ground and has been abandoned by all but a few borderline lunatics. I believe that whatever seems natural to a well-tuned brain, is likely to so (with scrutiny, of course.) Second, mathematical: A vector space is an algebraic cum analytic set V defined over a field F (like R or C). It is true that the real line has no natural embedding in a subspace of CxC (2-dimensional vector space over the complex field.) The context of the embedding must be the 2-dim space over the reals, RxR. As I said, context is king, but should it always be explicated to the fullest? How impossible life would be had we gone through the trouble making everything we say explicit? We wouldn't be able to use the words, this, that, it, there, and so on. But I'm getting philosophical, arean't I? CASE 2 To answer this question it is important to go back to the end of the nineteenth century and consider a period just until the beginning of the twentieth century (1920) : the enquiry of the foundation of mathematics. Frege was one of the first mathematicians who tried to define the number and talked about the `extent of the concept of number'. The number 4, for instance, comprise every concept that's equivalent with for example the concept of evangelists. For Frege the concept 4 is the extent of the concept "equivalent with the concept of the evangelists". For Cantor it was just a concept of the set of four-things. Frege tried to base mathematics on logical theory. But as Russell later pointed out it gave rise of one of the most fundamental paradoxes : the paradox of set theory. This kind of inquiry is known as logicism. Brouwer, a Dutch mathematician, put mathematical objects as a construction of the human mind, the only place were they intuitively exists. This kind of inquiry is known as intuitionism. Hilbert searches for the foundations of mathematics in the use of the mathematical language. Mathematics is no more or less than a mathematical game based on a good axiomatic theory. And, as you now, the world of mathematics was shocked by the enquiry of a young German mathematician Gdel and none of the above mentioned theories could resist his critique. And he was a Platonist and believed that numbers exist independent of the human mind. This brief view of the history of mathematics during the beginning of the twentieth century shows us that is was impossible to base number mathematically, but not in the mind of the mathematician himself. CASE 3 I would say the meaning of "4", and the meaning of the word "number" are subject to change as collective human thought and knowledge changes. Much as After Einstein's E=MC**2 equation, the accepted meaning and way of thinking about E changed, as it now included what was previously considered mass, the meaning of mass likewise changed to now include what was considered energy, and the meaning of C changed (actually it had changed when the Michelson-Morley experiments confirmed it to be constant. Also, these changes in physics/collective human understanding led to different meanings, for example, in Newton's F=MA equation. Also, of course, all these meanings talked about here are consensus meanings, Different people have totally different concepts of numbers, as they use them differently in their thought processes. For example, hypothetically, if someone was producing an atlas, the number 4 means to them the colors needed to keep adjoining regions different colors. Yet most people would not think of this in there daily life, although they may remember it from. Likewise, a chemist may think of the number 8, as the number of electrons that, typically, a nucleus is satisfied with.

Here is a copy of my letter to the editor of the New York Times that was published about a week ago that expresses my understanding of the matter: " To the editor: Eric Lax' thoughtful assessment of the Christian scriptures' position on same-sex unions notwithstanding, it is desperately important that we remember that marriage is not the property of churches, synagogues, or mosques. Marriage is sanctioned by the license of a civil authority, and when we clergy choose to be involved to wrap the occasion in the accoutrements of religion, we are nevertheless acting as agents of the state and sign that license accordingly. And so with respect to same-sex marriage, what any religion has to say about is it, frankly, irrelevant. And if any clergy object to it, well, no one is forcing them to participate. Presumably, we are long since past the bad old days when civil Blue Laws were inflicted on all, based on a religious majority's idea of what was or was not permissible on "the Sabbath" (conveniently ignoring the fact that other faiths or denominations even disputed which day of the week actually was "the Sabbath"). We have outgrown such nonsense in many other quarters of our common life. Now let us cease immediately the perpetuation of this last remaining official prejudice against a minority by renouncing the evil canard of "separate-but-equal" states of intimate union and declaring same-sex marriage an inalienable right to be accorded to all consenting adult couples who seek it. (Rev.) Eliot Daley" As you can see, I believe that we in ministry or the church at large are fully capable of holding our own views on these matters, but we cannot (in my view) impose our customs on others. That is where the issue of "rights" comes into play. Eliot Daley I need all evidence against Rev. Daley. Please go out and collect them. Thank you. On the definition of a property of an object why do we define a property of an object? It is for people to differentiate that object from other things. By that sense, if Rev. Daley takes marriage away from that right definition of a property. What is left to say about any religion's right to exist? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti omg, i have to let him know your answer!// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti St. Patrick's Day 2010: It was about church, not Guinness does that make sense? ?

Instead, the State Department is building a $1 billion embassy in London, the most expensive ever built. The plans even include surrounding it with a moat! I asked the Secretary of State about this massive expenditure, and she claimed the funds for this were coming from the sale of other properties. If money can be saved, then save it! Don't spend it on such an extravagant structure overseas when people back home can't find jobs or pay bills. Not only that, but the administration has committed to doubling foreign aid. That is one promise that is likely to be kept, despite our economic crisis. I asked Chairman Bernanke about Federal Reserve agreements with foreign central banks and if he had had any conversations about bailing out Greece, which he flatly denied. However, he recently announced that the Federal Reserve will be looking into Goldman Sachs' derivative agreements with Greece. Goldman Sachs, as we know, has "too big to fail" status with the Fed, so it is conceivable that any Greece-related catastrophic losses at Goldman Sachs will once again be passed on to taxpayers. Perhaps most sinister are the revelations in Robert Auerbach's book "Deception and Abuse at the Fed" that $5.5 billion was sent to Saddam Hussein in the 80's - money that allowed Iraq to build up its military machine to fight Iran prior to the first Gulf War, the very machine turned against our brave men and women within just a few years! I agree with Bernanke's characterization of this - it is indeed "bizarre" to think that Americans at the Federal Reserve could engage in this type of behavior, which a some have called "criminal". However, Professor Auerbach served as a banking committee investigator, and as an economist at the Treasury Department and at the Federal Reserve. His claims are hardly without merit. In fact, they are solidly backed by court rulings and other evidence. The lack of accountability and transparency in our leaders on government spending is appalling. We simply must keep pressing these issues and voicing our objections if we are ever to reverse our failed policies.

"Oh please, you practically invented lazy. People should have to call you and ask for the rights to lazy before they use it." "Get Out, Damned One" - Saddam's novel He wrote several. His last one is reported here. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/24/iraq/main704096.shtml "Get Out, Damned One" tells the story of a man called Ezekiel who plots to overthrow a town's sheik but is defeated in his quest by the sheik's daughter and an Arab warrior. The story is apparently a metaphor for a Zionist-Christian plot against Arabs and Muslims. Ezekiel is meant to symbolize the Jews. Raghad Saddam Hussein said her father finished the novel March 18, 2003 -- a day before the U.S.-led war on Iraq began -- and had expressed a wish to publish the book under his name. The three other novels he wrote were simply signed, "Its author." "It was my father's will to publish this book," Raghad told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. An Iraqi artist designed the cover, she said, and a Jordanian company will first publish the book in Arabic and follow with an English edition and a French translation. Raghad also wrote a dedication to her father on the book's back cover. "To the beat of the heart, to the eye and to the father of the Iraqis ... to the creator of men and heroes ... to the one who taught us all the great values," she wrote. "You, who raised our heads high, the heads of the Iraqis, the Arabs and the Muslims ... we present to you our souls ... to the father of the heroes, to my beloved and dear father, with all my respect and glory to you." Some Arab newspapers published excerpts of the novel last year without permission, the first of which appeared in the London-based Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat. Ali Abdel Amir, an Iraqi writer and critic who has read the whole manuscript, said the novel was similar in style to the other three attributed to Saddam. Abdel Amir said "Get Out, Damned One" describes an Arab leading an army that invades the land of the enemy and topples one of their monumental towers, an apparent reference to the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center in New York by Islamic militants of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti what was that movie? about an Australia communist lady went to Moscow and had one night romance with Stalin and bore him a son.

Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of generations into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes the `practice of freedom', the means by which men and women deal critically with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." --Jane Thompson, drawing on Paulo Freire, [2] Freire is best-known for his attack on what he called the "banking" concept of education, in which the student was viewed as an empty account to be filled by the teacher. The basic critique was not new -- Rousseau's conception of the child as an active learner was already a step away from tabula rasa (which is basically the same as the "banking concept"), and thinkers like John Dewey were strongly critical of the transmission of mere "facts" as the goal of education. Freire's work, however, updated the concept and placed it in context with current theories and practices of education, laying the foundation for what is now called critical pedagogy. Freire's work has also been subject to criticism. Rich Gibson[3] has critiqued his work as a cul-de-sac, a combination of old-style socialism (wherever Freire was not) and liberal reformism (wherever Freire was). Paul V. Taylor, in his "Texts of Paulo Freire," comes close to calling Freire a plagiarist, while Gibson notes Freire borrows heavily from Hegel's "Phenomenology." Gibson's dissertation which examines Freire's theory, practice, and history in a Marxist context is the sharpest critique of Freire to date. another star returns to cosmo at large Andrew Lange quits this wretched world.

The poem, in Italian, is an extended (or "tailed") sonnet, with a coda of six lines appended to the standard 14. The translation I like best is by the American poet Gail Mazur. Her lines are musical but informal, with a brio conveying that the Italian artist knew well enough that he and his work were great--but that he enjoyed vigorously lamenting his discomfort, pain, and inadequacy to the task. No wonder his artistic ideas are bizarre and no good, says Michelangelo: They must come through the medium of his body, that "crooked blowpipe" (Mazur's version of "cerbottana torta"). Great artist, great depression, great imaginative expression of it. This is a vibrant, comic, but heartfelt account of the artist's work: Michelangelo: To Giovanni da Pistoia "When the Author Was Painting the Vault of the Sistine Chapel" --1509 I've already grown a goiter from this torture, hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy (or anywhere else where the stagnant water's poison).

My brush, above me all the time, dribbles paint so my face makes a fine floor for droppings! My haunches are grinding into my guts, my poor ass strains to work as a counterweight, every gesture I make is blind and aimless. My skin hangs loose below me, my spine's all knotted from folding over itself. I'm bent taut as a Syrian bow. Because I'm stuck like this, my thoughts are crazy, perfidious tripe: anyone shoots badly through a crooked blowpipe. My painting is dead. Defend it for me, Giovanni, protect my honor.

When Nero came to the Roman throne in 54 (thanks, scurrilous rumour had it, to his mother administering those poisoned mushrooms to his stepfather, emperor Claudius), his first job was to give a eulogy of his predecessor. It was an eloquent address, according to Tacitus (Annals XIII, 3), even if a bit over the top on the old man's foresight and wisdom. The real trouble was that Nero hadn't actually written it; it had been run up for him by his old tutor Seneca. Some senators tutted: Nero, they observed, was the first emperor to "have to borrow someone else's eloquence". The next stop was the senate, where Nero made another well targeted oration, full of vacuous but heart warming slogans, aimed to please to assembled Roman political aristocracy.He brought to the job, he assured them, no grudges . . . . there would be no bribery and corruption in his administration, he would keep his own household quite separate from the affairs of state, the senate would exercise its old prerogatives. "Nor was the pledge dishonoured" remarks Tacitus archly (Annals XIII, 5), and goes on to list a few things done on the senate's initiative. But within a few lines he has given the game away. The senate starting meeting in the palace, so that Nero's mother Agrippina could listen to proceedings from behind a curtain. So much for the separation of household and affairs of state. And as if to rub the point home, Tacitus uses the same Latin word, discreta/m for the separation of public and private business, and the separation of Agrippina behind her curtain. OK -- so hardly an election, but what is the similarity between then and now? Borrowed eloquence, for a start. I don't know when ministers and shadow ministers started publishing articles in national newspapers that they couldn't possibly have written -- probably not even read. But I have had quite enough of ghosted articles by the front bench teams in the Guardian and elsewhere, I wouldn't mind so much if they had written this stuff themselves, but when it's an office job, done by an 'aide'. . . . Much of the rest of what we are getting promised is nor more likely to be delivered on than Nero's promises ("no more boom and bust" the young emperor might just as well have said). The rhetoric of our leaders is probably even worse, for they are promising things that they have no business to be. I don't want Ed Balls to be telling me that he will be ensuring that kids who fall behind in English and Maths will get extra teaching. I want schools to have enough money and capacity so that teaches can make that kind of decision themselves. And at least the Romans didn't have to put up with a televised debate (though a head to head between Nero and Britannicus could have been fun). I haven't understood why people are so keen on the Brown, Cameron, Clegg show. Watching the presidential debates in the USA in 2008, I found them so choreographed as to be almost worthless. We were all just waiting for these overprepared mouthpieces to make a slip, like watching the high wire act. A triumph of PR masquerading as democracy. <Those who have been following my trouble to write a paper for the USA: I did eventually get A POINT and I was writing quite well....when I watched the weather forecast and decided that I would have to spend a night at the airport if I wanted to beat the snow.

The word `sin' is derived from the Indo-European root `es-,' meaning `to be.' When I discovered this etymology, I intuitively understood that for a woman trapped in patriarchy, which is the religion of the entire planet, `to be' in the fullest sense is `to sin.'" "Women who are pirates in a phallocratic society are involved in a complex operation. First, it is necessary to plunder--that is, righteously rip off gems of knowledge that the patriarchs have stolen from us. Second, we must smuggle back to other women our plundered treasures. In order to invent strategies that will be big and bold enough for the next millennium, it is crucial that women share our experiences: the chances we have taken and the choices that have kept us alive. They are my pirate's battle cry and wake-up call for women who want to hear." And so Daly would like to say: "I urge you to Sin. ... But not against these itty-bitty religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism -- or their secular derivatives, Marxism, Maoism, Freudianism and Jungianism -- which are all derivatives of the big religion of patriarchy. Sin against the infrastructure itself!" And Mary says "if God is male, male is God". Apparently, Goddess is female so female comes from no God's land. It all makes sense to me. Does it? I have an idea... we can marry Mary to Edward right here, on K5! no soup for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti it's dramatic she got fired from publish her first book 'church and the second sex'.

Below is a breakdown of how the committee members voted: Yes: Sen. Bill Baroni (R-Mercer) Sen. Nia H. Gill (D-Essex) Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak (D-Union) Sen. Nicholas P. Scutari (D-Union) Sen. Bob Smith (D-Middlesex) Sen. Brian P. Stack (D-Hudson) Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen) No: Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Bergen), chairman Sen. John A. Girgenti (D-Passaic) vice chair Sen. Christopher Bateman (R-Somerset) Sen. Jennifer Beck (R-Monmouth) Sen. Gerald Cardinale (R-Bergen) Sen. Joseph Kyrillos (R-Monmouth) Bill will be my pick for this debate. My statement: "gay marriage is a joke and a tragedy". If one understand limits of justice, he shouldn't have problem understanding limits of marriage. If love conquers all, why not leave it outside institutionalized power to be? And if power corrupts, why legalize marriage between the same sex? Children are angels and monsters. City of gods existed for them and for all who desire natural motherhood as their inalienable rights and their true callings against slavery, against communism, against all power to be. It's a cold cold wintry day. A seminary student is walking home; the wind and the desolate landscape arouse the romantic thought that this cold and wind are something perpetual that Ivan the Terrible and Christ too experienced. Misery and oppression are the essence of human life and will always be so. Debilitated by this insight, the student stops to talk to two peasant widows and finds himself clumsily retelling the story of Peter's betrayal of Christ, mixing half-intelligible Church-Slavonisms with the utmost simplification of the story. To his amazement, the women burst into tears, and the student discovers the inexplicable magic of narrative that has nothing to do with the person of the narrator, and the affinity that the suffering and oppressed have with all the suffering and oppression in history. Time and space are bridged in an instant. The story ends with the student filled with a joy at this sudden collapse of time and space as powerful as the depression which the oneness of the world evoked in the beginning. He has touched 'both ends of a chain.' The student understands that the misery and horror of life engender truth and beauty in those who suffer from it. His joy may be conditional, for Chekhov breaks in as a narrator when he says 'he was only twenty-two', but faith in human response to a hostile universe is to be the strongest strand in the survival of humankind. holy cow raph currently live with his boyfriend Seth in California.

The dermoid is often likened to a thin "spaghetti noodle" beneath the skin. Puppies should always be screened at birth by the breeder and veterinarian, and the examination repeated as the puppies grow before they go to their new homes. This is done by palpation of the subcutaneous dorsal midline from the base of the skull to the insertion of the tail. Surgical removal is an option for affected neonates, puppies and adult dogs. All affected dogs, even those surgically corrected, should be desexed and never be bred. Since surgical dermoid sinus removal can be extremely cost prohibitive, and because all unremoved dermoid sinuses will eventually abscess, and abscessed dermoid sinuses will cause the dog a painful death. However, it has been shown that supplementation of folic acid to the diet of the brood bitch before mating and during pregnancy reduces the incidence of dermoid sinus.[8] [edit] Deafness While deafness is not a common problem in the breed, Rhodesian Ridgebacks do suffer from a breed specific form of the disease. Dr. Mark Neff and his team of researchers at the University of California at Davis have located the mutation that causes this relatively rare, but breed-specific, form of deafness.[citation needed] [edit] Degenerative myelopathy Degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a disease of the spinal cord causing progressive paraparesis, most commonly in the German shepherd dog breed. It affects Rhodesian Ridgebacks at a rate of only 0.75%. [edit] Hypothyroid Hypothyroidism is a growing problem in the Rhodesian Ridgeback, and this condition causes a multitude of symptoms, including weight gain and hair loss. Treatment for hypothyroidism in dogs consists of an inexpensive once-daily oral medication. Dr. Lorna Kennedy at the University of Manchester's Centre for Integrated Genomic Medical Research in England has found the haplotype (group of genes) which, when present, will double the chances of a Ridgeback becoming hypothyroid due to lymphocytic thyroiditis. This is important to the breed because lymphocytic thyroiditis is the overwhelming cause of hypothyroidism in Ridgebacks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti holy moly Kitty is a mole too, not just the mistress to Earl Browder or a little American wife in Cambridge five. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti I'm hiring too Uncle SAM needs United Fools ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti St. Thomas Day - a sonnet liked this Thomas-tide sonnet Tom's father Felix had a new pic on his wiki page . btw, I donated $35 to wiki foundation.

Raising my cup I beckon the bright moon, For her, with my shadow, will make three people. The moon, alas, is no drinker of wine; Listless, my shadow creeps about at my side. Yet with the moon as friend and the shadow as slave I must make merry before the Spring is spent. To the songs I sing the moon flickers her beams; In the dance I weave my shadow tangles and breaks. While we were sober, three shared the fun; Now we are drunk, each goes their way.

Carpe Diem son of Adams: "Law" enforcement officers are the enforcers for the ruling class, and they do not like it when anyone questions their power. Whether you are black, white, red, or yellow, just questioning an officer often, as in this case, provokes them to remind you just how powerful they are. They will arrest you by claiming that you were disorderly. They will beat you claiming that you were resisting arrest with violence. They will plant drugs on you and claim that you are a dealer. They have too much power and as we all know, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Don't be fooled by the attempt to pretend that this is a minor mistake made by an improperly trained officer either. The police officer should be arrested and prosecuted for violating Professor Gates' rights by arresting him while knowing that his identification showed that he did in fact live in his home. This is a crime folks! Specifically, it is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 242. See http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00000242----0... which provides for imprisonment for life in this situation. Read it!

Otherwise concluded, the antenna protein suppresses decoherence, either by preventing it, or reinducing coherence in decohering parts of the chlorophyll modecule. Even more importantly, since the very high efficiency of transfer from light energy to chemical energy is critical to life, these results suggest very strongly that natural selection has acted on the antenna protein to improve its ability to sustain the quantum coherent state. Suddenly, the hypothesis that long-lived quantum coherent states may exist at body temperature is not at all ruled out...

Nobel Laureate Philip Anderson wrote a famous article, "More is Different", some decades ago, arguing that reductionism is wonderful, but not enough. A computer computing a complex algorithm can be made of transistors or water buckets -- it is able to run on multiple physical platforms. Hence reducing the computer to any particular physical basis is insufficient to explain the computer. The drift away from reductionism among physicists is most pronounced among solid state physicists, who deal with such things as metals, glasses, spin glasses, and systems with many "broken symmetries". Robert Laughlin, solid state physicist and Nobel laureate, argues strenuously against the full efficacy of reductionism in A Different Universe. The physicists who hold out for a firm reductionism are, like Weinberg himself, largely high energy particle physicists, seeking that final theory -- say string theory. But it is precisely in the province of string theory itself, that doubts are arising. The early hope was that a single string theory would be found that would explain quantum gravity and all the known particles and forces. Such a single string theory would be the answer to Weinberg's dream of a final theory. But at present, it appears that there are as many as 10 to the 500th power string theories. Hope for a single theory is fast fading and a number of high energy physicists are abandoning reductionism in the sense of finding such a single theory. Thus, Leonard Susskind, in the Cosmic Landscape, suggests a multiverse of "pocket universes", each with a randomly chosen string theory, and a landscape over these "pocket universes" with respect to those whose laws are life friendly. As a critical side note, part of Susskind's move is an attempt to explain the roughly 23 physical constants in physics like the speed of light, the ratio of electron to proton mass, and so on. No one knows where these constants come from or how to explain them. Weinberg himself uttered the "A" word -- anthropic. According to this idea, there are many universes, and only those with constants that support the evolution of intelligent life would have such life to wonder at the values of the constants. In short, many, but not all physicists, are giving up on the adequacy of reductionism alone as a scientific principle to explain the properties of the world. In its stead a new scientific world view is just starting to come into view: Emergence. Emergence Roughly speaking emergence breaks into two sub-views, epistemological and ontological emergence. The former says that complex systems are too complex to be explained by reductionistic practices, but that ontologically, reductionism holds. The ontological view is that new entities with their own properties and causal powers arise and are part of the furniture of the universe. I hold strongly to this view and will present a number of cases that appear to support it. 1) The origin of life and its non-reducibility to physics. We do not, in fact, know how or where life started, although most scientists believe that life on earth started on earth some 3.8 billion years ago, shortly after the planet cooled enough for liquid water to form. As an alternative, life might have started elsewhere and arrived here through space, Crick's Panspermia concept. There are several alternative views about how life emerged on earth, none established. In short summary: The first view notes the remarkable properties of the DNA and RNA double helix, and hopes that a single strand of RNA can serve as a template primer to add A, U, C and G nucleotides to Watson Crick match those of the template and be ligated into proper 3'-5' phosophodiester bonds to replicate the template, then the two strands melt apart, and cycle again. Forty years of hard work have not succeeded for good chemical reasons. Most now doubt that life started this way. The second view is the "RNA World" view. It was discovered that RNA molecules can not only carry genetic information, but act as enzymes, speeding chemical reactions. Work is underway to create an RNA enzyme, or ribozyme, that can copy any RNA molecule including itself. The probability that an RNA molecule can catalyze a given reaction is roughly 10 divided by 10 raised to the 15th power. It is conceivable that such a molecule can arise by chance, but it faces the difficulty that were it to copy itself and make errors, those error copies would be more error prone than the initial copy, and a run away error catastrophe might ensue. In short, such a molecule might not be stable in evolution. The third view is the "lipid" view, in which hollow spheres of bilayered lipids, called liposomes, can grow and divide. This has been demonstrated experimentally. It may plausibly be part of the origin of life. The fourth view is my own and that of Freeman Dyson, and may also be part of the origin of life. I noted that cellular life is based on collective autocatalysis, where catalysis is the speeding up of a chemical reaction. Thus imagine two polymers, A and B, where each catalyzes the formation of the other out of fragments of the other. That is collective autocatalysis. No molecule catalyzes its own formation, rather the set as a whole is collectively autocatalytic, and achieves catalytic closure. Cells are collectively autocatalytic today. Reza Ghadiri has made collectively autocatalytic small protein systems, and Gunter von Kiederowski has made collectively autocatalytic DNA systems. Thus self reproduction of polymers has been achieved experimentally by good chemists in a lab. My own theory starts with stating this as a possibility then goes on the ask whether, in a large set of polymers that can act as substrates and products of reactions and also act as catalysts of those very reactions, one would expect such autocatalytic sets to arise "spontaneously". Strikingly, the answer can be yes, depending upon the ratio of reactions among the polymers in the system to the polymer diversity itself, and the distribution of catalytic capacities for those reactions among the same set of polymers. In simple models, as the diversity of polymers increases, so many reactions are catalyzed that autocatalytic sets form spontaneously with high probability. This part of the theory remains to be tested, but can by use of libraries of random DNA, RNA and proteins. The fifth view is metabolism first. Morowitz believes that metabolism can form autocatalytic cycles on its own, and indeed it does, and that metabolism and autocatalysis arose first. Clearly none of the theories above is adequate. But one gets the firm sense that science is moving in on possible routes to the origin of life on earth. If some combination of the metabolism, polymer autocatalysis and lipid first view can be formulated and tested in a new "Systems Chemistry", we may find the answers we seek. Suppose we do. It will be a scientific triumph of course. But if such self reproducing and, via heritable variations, evolving systems are formed, are they ontologically emergent with respect to physics? I believe the answer is yes. Darwin taught us about natural selection and evolution. He did not know the basis for self reproduction or heritable variation. But given these, evolution by natural selection follows. Such evolving life forms would be subject to Darwin's law, which arises only for entities capable of self reproduction and heritable variation. This seems clearly to be ontological emergence, not reducible to physics. Like Anderson's computer able to run on transisitors or buckets of water, Darwin's natural selection can run on multiple physical platforms, where the entities under selection have their own causal powers, and natural selection cannot be reduced to any specific physical platform. Indeed, it is possible that minor changes in the constants of the physicists would still yield universes in which life, heritable variation and natural selection would obtain. Note that while the physicist might deduce that a specific set of molecules was self reproducing, and had heritable variations and instantiated natural selection, one cannot deduce natural selection from the specific physics of any specific case(s), or even this universe, alone. In short, Darwin's natural selection is a new law operating on the level of self reproducing entities with heritable variation, regardless of the physical underpinning. In contrast to Weinberg's claim, here the explanatory arrows point upward from molecules to the evolution of living systems of molecules via natural selection. 2) Agency: You are now reading this article, presumably on purpose. You are able to act on your own behalf. You are the clearest example we have of agency. It is utterly remarkable that agency has arisen in the universe -- systems that are able to act on their own behalf. Systems that modify the universe on their own behalf. Out of agency comes value and meaning. This article either is, or is not interesting to you, hence is or is not valuable. It may change your world view, hence have deep meaning. It becomes interesting to ask what the minimal physical system is that can act as an agent. In Investigations, I sought to answer this, by proposing that a minimal molecular agent is a system which can reproduce itself and carry out at least one work cycle in the thermodynamic sense. I will not go into the ramifications of this, which are puzzling and I hope important. On this account, a bacterium, swimming up a glucose gradient, and performing work cycles, is an agent, and glucose has value and meaning for the bacterium, without assuming consciousness. Of course it is natural selection that has achieved this coupling. But teleological language has to start somewhere, and I am willing to place it at the start of life. Either here, or later in the evolutionary pathways, meaning and value arise in the biosphere. They too are ontologically emergent. We have a natural place for value in a world of fact, for the world is not just fact: agents act on the world and actions are not just facts, for the action itself is a subset of the causal consequences of what occurs during an act, and that relevant subset cannot be deduced from physics. 3) We are, in fact, conscious. That is, we have experiences of the world. The philosophers call these "qualia". For years, philosophers of mind have tried to argue that such experiences are "ghosts in the machine". This is just false. We are, in fact, conscious. Whatever explains consciousness, it is clearly ontologically emergent. There are three radically different views on the cause of consciousness, none known to be true. The first in the West, is that mind derives from direct connection to the mind of God -- St. Augustines view, and to my astonishment, not far from that of Schrodinger, one of the inventors of quantum mechanics. In Tibetan Buddhism, consciousness is continuous, and thus underwrites reincarnation. The second, predominant view among cognitive scientists is that consciousness arises when enough computational elements are networked together. In this view, a mind is a machine, and a complex set of buckets of water pouring water into one another would become conscious. I just cannot believe this. I cannot however disprove it, but I can offer arguments against it. On this view, the mind is algorithmic. With Penrose, in The Emperor's New Mind, I believe that the mind is not algorithmic, although it can act algorithmically. If it is not algorithmic, then the mind is not a machine and consciousness may not arise in a classical -- as opposed to possibly to a quantum -- system. Penrose bases his argument on the claim that in seeking a proof a mathematician does not follow an algorithm himself. I think he is right, but the example is not felicitous, for the proof itself is patently an algorithm, and how do we know that the mathematician did not subconsciously follow that algorithm in finding the proof. My arguments start from humbler conditions. Years ago my computer sat on my front table, plugged into a floor socket. I feared my family would bump into the cord and pull the computer off the table, breaking it. I now describe the table: 3 x 5 feet, three wooden boards on top, legs with certain carvings, chipped paint with the wood surface showing through with indefinitely many distances between points on the chipped flecks, two cracks, one crack seven feet from the fireplace, eleven feet from the kitchen, 238,000 miles from the moon, a broken leaf on the mid board of the top.....You get the idea that there is no finite description of the table -- assuming for example continuous spacetime. So I invented a solution. I jammed the cord into one of the cracks and pulled it tight so that my family would not be able to pull the computer off the table. Now it seems to me that there is no way to turn this Herculian mental performance into an algorithm. How would one bound the features of the situation finitely? How would one even list the features of the table in a denumerably infinite list? One cannot. Thus it seems to me that no algorithm was performed. As a broader case, we are all familiar with struggling to formulate a problem. Do you remotely think that your struggle is an effective "mechanical" or algorithmic procedure? I do not. I also do not know how to prove that a given performance is not algorithmic. What would count as such a proof? So I must leave my conviction with you, unproven, but powerful I think. If true, then the mind is not a machine. The third view of mind and consciousness, which I tentatively favor, is that it is related to quantum behavior. The standard physicist's answer is that quantum effects cannot occur at body temperature. Indeed, Schrodinger says this, then says of consciousness, "I am become God". However, recent theorems in quantum computing, and facts about cells cast doubt on this conclusion. The theorems show that, if measurements are made and work is done on a quantum computer, its qubits can remain "quantum coherent" when they should "decohere" towards classical behavior. Thus, if work is done on a system, parts of it may remain quantum coherent at body temperature in principle. But cells do thermodynamic work and might be able to carry out such measurements and work to maintain some variables quantum coherent. Second, cells are crowded by proteins and other molecules, and the water between these molecules is largely ordered, not like an ordinary liquid. This may permit quantum coherence physically in cells. No one knows. It seems worth investigation in its own right. Meanwhile, my approximate theory is that mind is acausal, quantum mechanics is acausal on the familiar Born interpretation of the Schrodinger equation, (to the grief of Einstein), that consciousness is due to a special state where a system is persistently poised between quantum and classical behavior, that the emergence of classical behavior in the mind-brain system, perhaps by decoherence, is the "mind making something actual" happen in the physical world, and -- big jump -- that consciousness itself consists in this quantum coherent state as lived by the organism. This is a long jump, but not impossible. I don't even think it is stupider than other theories of consciousness, and may be true. Whatever the case, consciousness is ontologically emergent in this universe. The Biosphere and Human Culture are Ceaselessly Creative in Ways that Cannot be Foretold. The third, rather astonishing theme that is emerging in this new world view is that the biosphere and human culture are ceaselessly creative in ways that are fundamentally unpredictable and presumably non-algorithmic or machine like. I begin with Darwinian adaptations and preadaptations. Were one to ask Darwin what the function of the heart is, he would have replied, "To pump blood". That is, the causal consequence of the heart for virtue of which it was selected by natural selection is pumping blood. But the heart makes heart sounds. These are not the function of the heart. Thus, the function of the heart is a subset of its causal consequences and must be analyzed in the context of the whole organism in its selective environment. Again this says that biology cannot be reduced to physics, for while the string theorist might (actually could not) deduce all the properties of a given heart, he/she would have no way to pick out as the relevant property that of pumping blood. But it is that property that accounts for the existence of hearts in the biosphere. Now a Darwinian preadaptation is a causal consequence of a part of an organism of no selective significance in the normal environment, but which might be of use in some odd environment, hence become the subject of natural selection. Here the organ was "preadapted" for this novel function in the biosphere. A fanciful example concerns the squirrel Gertrude who happened to have a single Mendelian dominant mutant that gave her flaps of skin from arms to legs on both sides. (Darwinian preadaptations need not rely on new mutations in general, but I use them for my friend Gertrude, who lived 65,394,003 years ago in Guatemala.) Gertrude was so ugly that the rest of the squirrels would not play or eat with her. She was in a magnolia tree eating lunch sadly and alone when Bertha, an early owl in a neighboring pine, spied Gertrude, thought "Lunch", dived towards Gertrude horrid claws extended.....Gertrude was terrified. Suddenly she jumped from the tree, arms and legs flung wide. "Ghaaaa!" cried Gertrude, then looked, incredulous, as she flew. And she escaped the befuddled Bertha. Well, Gertrude became a heroine in her clan, was married in a lovely civil ceremony to a handsome squirrel not a month later, and thanks to her dominant mutation, all their children had similar flaps of skin. And that is how flying squirrels came to exist in the biosphere. I like Gertrude a lot. It is critical that virtually any extant feature of an organism can become the subject of natural selection in the appropriate environment, and typically, if selected, a novel functionality arises in the biosphere and universe. Now the critical question: Do you think you could say ahead of time, or finitely prestate, all possible Darwinian preadaptations of, say species alive now, or even humans? I have not found anyone who thought the answer was yes. I do not know how to prove my claim that the answer is "No", but part of the problem is that we cannot finitely prestate the relevant features of all possible selective environments for all organisms with respect to all their features. But the failure to prestate the possible preadaptations is not slowing down the evolution of the biosphere where preadaptations are widely known. Thus, ever novel functionalities come to exist and proliferate in the biosphere. The fact that we cannot prestate them is essential, and an essential limitation to the way Newton taught us to do science: Prestate the relevant variables, forces acting among them, initial and boundary conditions, and calculate the future evolution of the system...say projectile. But we cannot prestate the relevant causal features of organisms in the biosphere. We do not know now the relevant variables! Thus we cannot write down a set of equations for the temporal evolution of these variables. We are profoundly precluded from the Newtonian move. In short, the evolution of the biosphere is radically unknowable, not due to quantum throws of the dice, or deterministic chaos, but because we cannot prestate the macroscopic relevant features of organisms and environments that will lead to the emergence of novel functions in the biosphere with their own causal properties that in turn alter the future evolution of the biosphere. Thus, the evolution of the biosphere is radically creative, ceaselessly creative, in way that cannot be foretold. I find this wonderful. I believe this fact means that the evolution of the biosphere is non-algorithmic. It cannot be simulated, certainly with continuous spacetime and quantum mechanics playing a role. The same Darwinian preadaptations occur in the evolution of the economy. The story concerns engineers trying to invent the tractor. They would need a massive engine block. They tried it on chasse after chasse, all of which broke. Finally one of the engineers said, "The engine block itself is so massive and rigid that we can use the engine block itself as the chasse." And that is how tractors are made. Now the rigidity of the tractor was a Darwinian preadaptation, a causal feature useful for a new function. Its discovery was a true invention. But this means that the technological evolution of the econosphere is also not finitely prestatable, nor presumably algorithmic. It too is ceaselessly creative, expanding from some 1000 goods and services say 50,000 years ago to perhaps 10 billion today. And human culture, in general, is ceaselessly creative as the biosphere and culture expand into what I call the Adjacent Possible. Here the point is that, at levels of complexity above the atom, the universe has not had time to make all possible complex objects, such as all proteins length 200. The universe, at these levels of complexity, is on a unique trajectory. So when my friend Gertrude flew, she changed the material and behavioral features of the evolving universe. So did Picasso. In short, in wondrous ways, these our universe, biosphere, econosphere, and culture are ceaselessly creative and emergent. The two cultures, science and humanities, stand united in this world view. Meaning and value have a scientific base. And ethics? At a recent meeting on science and religion on Star Island, we heard more than one lecture on animal emotions and the sense of fairness in chimpanzees. Group selection, we were told, is now making its way into evolutionary biology. With it, natural selection can get its grip on behaviors that are advantageous to the group, like fairness, so it emerges. Far from evolution being anathema to ethics, evolution is the first source of human morality. But not the last, for we can argue whether we should want what we want. God and a Global Ethic God is the most powerful symbol we have created. The Spaniards in the New World built their churches on the holy sites of those they vanquished. Notre Dame sits on a Druid holy site. Shall we use the God word? It is our choice. Mine is a tentative "yes". I want God to mean the vast ceaseless creativity of the only universe we know of, ours. What do we gain by using the God word? I suspect a great deal, for the word carries with it awe and reverence. If we can transfer that awe and reverence, not to the transcendental Abrahamic God of my Israelite tribe long ago, but to the stunning reality that confronts us, we will grant permission for a renewed spirituality, and awe, reverence and responsibility for all that lives, for the planet. Does one know that such a transformation of human sensibilities will happen? Of course not. But the sense of justice matured in the Abrahamic tradition from 10 eyes for an eye, to an eye for an eye, to love thine enemy as thyself. Then can a heightened consciousness bring about a global ethic? I believe so. I believe, I hope correctly, that what I have sketched above is true, points to a new vision of our co-creating reality, that it invites precisely an enhancement of our sense of spirituality, reverence, wonder, and responsibility, and can form the basis of a trans-national mythic structure for an emerging global civilization. Co-Evolving Traditions To ever succeed, this new view needs to be soft spoken. You see, we can say, here is reality, is it not worthy of stunned wonder? What more could we want of a God? Yes, we give up a God who intervenes on our behalf. We give up heaven and hell. But we gain ourselves, responsibility, and maturity of spirit. I know that saying that ethics derives from evolution undercuts the authority of God as its source. But do we need such a God now? I think not. Nor do we need the spiritual wasteland that post-modernism has brought us. Beyond my admired friend Kenneth Arrow, natural parks are valuable because life is valuable on its own, a wonder of emergence, evolution and creativity. Reality is truly stunning. So if you find this useful, let us go forth, as was said long ago, and invite consideration by others of this new vision of reality. With it, let us recreate spiritual community and membership. Let us go forth. Civilization needs to be changed. - From the Edge Jaron Lanier [11.13.06] Am I getting old and jaded? I worry that in the matter of fundamental beliefs and worldviews, people as a whole. including me, are not to be trusted. To be cynical, I could point out that starting a new religion is the biggest business of all -- so Stuart Kauffman might make scientists everywhere rich. The only problem is that people don't consistently have the discipline to avoid the slide into silly superstitions, no matter how carefully their underlying beliefs might have been constructed or vetted -- Buddhism, which some claim to be the least dangerous religion, still served as the foundation of the beliefs of a group that released sarin gas in the Tokyo subways -- and of course the major supposedly enlightened materialist movements of the 20th century (those referring to Marx) were moral disasters -- someone will always show up to promote nonsense for short sighted gains. The best strategy for us humans is to have an interminable and endlessly confusing ecology of conflicting metaphysical or underlying beliefs -- different religions -- so that no single belief can become a powerful monoculture, which makes it hopelessly seductive to maniacs. How did the American founders manage to get that so right, so long ago? It's important to acknowledge what one believes instead of pretending not to believe in anything, which is almost always a form of self-delusion -- in that spirit I'm ready to sign up for the beautiful new spirituality Kauffman is articulating -- just so long as I'm not joined by absolutely everyone else, in which case I'd have to switch to believing in something else as a matter of survival for us all. one half of a manifesto As the anthropologist Steve Barnett pointed out, however, it would be just as reasonable to assert that "A person is shit's way of making more shit." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti The classic question would be: How could evolution The classic question would be: How could evolution have made such marvelous feet, claws, fins, and paws, but have missed the wheel?

Syrithe Pugh may exaggerate somewhat the extent to which Spenser's Ovidianism has been underestimated by earlier critics, or the absence of similar "anti-Virgilian," counterimperial elements in Virgil himself, expressed as the poet's famous melancholy; but her study admirably elaborates the case for seeing Ovid whole and for seeing his attitudes reflected in the later poet. The intertextual method which informs her work focuses on those discourses of power which have interested New Historicism and related interpretive projects over the past quarter century. Pugh is not primarily concerned with elucidating the texture of Spenser's poetry, his fascination with metamorphosis, and his conflicting senses of the sweetness and cruelty of change: for this, Angus Fletcher's remarks on the "Ovidian matrix" (The Prophetic Moment [1971], 90-106) remain especially helpful, and provide a useful complement to the present volume. An instance of Pugh's ability to elucidate the thematics of a vexed passage in Spenser is seen in her remarks (83-89) on Ruddymane and the nymph whose waters refuse to cleanse his bloody hands, where her interest is in Ovid's critique of Roman attitudes toward rape and pollution. Especially pertinent here is the Clitorian fount, of which the poet tells us that whoever drinks of its waters avoids wine "and soberly takes joy in water" ("gaudetque meris abstemius undis," Met. XV.323). Perhaps, Ovid suggests, Melampus threw those herbs into it with which he had cured the Proteides of Bacchus's curse, so that a "hatred of wine remains in the waters" ("odiumque meri permansit in undis," 328). This does seem an apt source for Spenser's abstemious nymph--the more so since Melampus was the first to temper wine with water, and since Ovid contrasts merum, untempered wine, with merae undae, pure water. It seems thoroughly Spenserian that the patron of Temperance should encounter a riddling instance of its most common emblem. Similar wordplay appears in the next story Pugh cites, that of Callisto, who is banished by Diana after she is raped by Jove and found pregnant. After she gives birth to a son, Arcas, the jealous Juno turns her into a bear and years later she is almost killed by that son before Jove prevented (arcuit) the deed by turning both figures into constellations, which Juno in turn forbids ever to set in the sea, a continuation of Diana's earlier curse. Again, the language plays on the bear-like name of Arcas, his literally bear-like mother, and the preventive act of his father, while the eternal moment of confrontation is imbued with the figural sense of the bear as triumphing (through hibernation) over temporal death, never going beneath the waves. Pugh's study, magisterial in its marshaling of parallels between Ovid and Spenser on the programmatic level, is perhaps most valuable for enabling future commentary to explore the poem in greater textural detail and thereby to trace more precisely the line from Ovid through Chaucer and Ariosto to his principal Elizabethan avatar. -- DONALD CHENEY University of Massachusetts, Amherst ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Earle Mack School of Law new law school in the block - good and fair ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti the opposite pole of Platonic smarty pants It is Ovidian, NOT lemonjuicefake. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti The Economics of Attention interview with Richard A.

Smalley first argued that "fat fingers" made MNT impossible. He later argued that nanomachines would have to resemble chemical enzymes more than Drexler's assemblers and could only work in water. Drexler maintained that both were straw man arguments, and in the case of enzymes, Prof. Klibanov wrote in 1994, "...using an enzyme in organic solvents eliminates several obstacles. . . " [4]) Drexler had difficulty in getting Smalley to respond, but in December 2003, Chemical and Engineering news carried a 4 part debate. [5] One of the barriers to achieving molecular nanotechnology is the lack of an efficient way to create machines on a molecular/atomic scale. One of Drexler's early ideas was an "assembler," a nanomachine that would comprise an arm and a computer that could be programmed to build more nanomachines. If an assembler could be built, it might then build a copy of itself, and thus potentially be useful for efficient mass production of nanomachines. But the lack of a way to first build an assembler remains the sine qua non obstacle to achieving this vision. A second difficulty in reaching molecular nanotechnology is design. Hand design of a gear or bearing at the level of atoms is a grueling task. While Drexler, Merkle and others have created a few designs of simple parts, no comprehensive design effort for anything approaching the complexity of a Model T Ford has been attempted. A third difficulty in achieving molecular technology is separating successful trials from failures, and elucidating the failure mechanisms of the failures. Unlike Darwinian evolution, which proceeds by random variations in ensembles of organisms combined with deterministic reproduction/extinction as a selection process to achieve great complexity after billions of years (a set of mechanisms that Richard Dawkins has referred to as a "blind watchmaker"), deliberate design and building of nanoscale mechanisms requires a means other than reproduction/extinction to winnow successes from failures. Such means are difficult to provide (and presently non-existent) for anything other than small assemblages of atoms viewable by an AFM or STM. Thus, even in the latest report A Matter of Size: Triennial Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative put out by the National Academies Press in December 2006, (roughly twenty years after Engines of Creation was published) no clear way forward toward molecular nanotechnology is seen, as per the conclusion on page 108 of that report: "Although theoretical calculations can be made today, the eventually attainable range of chemical reaction cycles, error rates, speed of operation, and thermodynamic efficiencies of such bottom-up manufacturing systems cannot be reliably predicted at this time. Thus, the eventually attainable perfection and complexity of manufactured products, while they can be calculated in theory, cannot be predicted with confidence. Finally, the optimum research paths that might lead to systems which greatly exceed the thermodynamic efficiencies and other capabilities of biological systems cannot be reliably predicted at this time. Research funding that is based on the ability of investigators to produce experimental demonstrations that link to abstract models and guide long-term vision is most appropriate to achieve this goal."

Author's Preface The physicist Leo Szilard once announced to his friend Hans Bethe that he was thinking of keeping a diary: "I don't intend to publish it; I am merely going to record the facts for the information of God." "Don't you think God knows the facts?" Bethe asked. "Yes," said Szilard. "He knows the facts, but He does not know this version of the facts." 7 The Ascent of F6 Seven years and the summer is over. Seven years since Archbishop left us, He who was always kind to his people. But it would not be well if he should return...For us, the poor, there is no action, But only to wait and witness...O Thomas Archbishop. O Thomas our Lord, leave us and leave us be, in our humble and tarnished frame of existence, leave us; do not ask us To stand to the doom on the house, the doom on the Archbishop, the doom on the world. I sat in Oppenheimer's office in the fall of 1948 with these lines from T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral ringing through my head. Eight young physicists, six men and two women, were sharing the office while the builders hurried to finish a new building with individual offices for each of us. I wished the builders would never finish. It was much cozier and friendlier in the big office, with the eight of us sitting around a wooden table, chatting and getting to know one another. We had come from many countries to the Institute for Advanced Study, each of us invited by Oppenheimer to work under his supervision. We were young and unencumbered with possessions. Our few books and papers fitted easily on the table. It was lucky for us that Oppenheimer was away in Europe and did not need his office. For six or seven weeks we waited uneasily for his return. As the weeks passed, his absence seemed to loom larger and larger, as the Archbishop's absence looms in the first scene of Eliot's play, leading up to his dramatic entry and the swiftly ensuing tragedy. We did not know in 1948 what kind of tragedy was to be played, but the feeling of impending doom was in the air. ... After a long winter, spring came to Princeton with a rush. Oppenheimer was spending more and more of his time in Washington. In addition to his normal government business, he was defending his friend David Lilienthal, the first chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, against a vicious political attack launched by the Republicans in Congress. He defended Lilienthal skillfully and successfully. But the attack was only one of the first stirrings of the hysteria which was to lead to his own downfall five years later. While he was away in Washington, spring fever overcame our crowd of young physicists at the institute. We gave up the pretense of serious work and started to enjoy ourselves. There were many parties and expeditions to the beach. One morning scene from that spring is particularly vivid in my memory. A battered old Dodge convertible with the roof open, owned by one of the girls at the institute and driven by another, with eight or ten young institute members piled into the seats and hanging on to the back, careening at breakneck speed down through the institute woods to the river, demolishing trees and scaring to death the wild life and the distinguished professors taking their morning stroll. That scene went unrecorded in my weekly letter home. My proud parents did not need to know that I was running wild in Princeton with a bunch of young hooligans. We had never been teen-agers, having passed through that period of our lives during the years of war and deprivation, and now we were making up for the lost time. Some years later I was married to the owner of the Dodge and wrecked it on an icy road in Ithaca, but that is another story. The end of this story is that I eventually became a professor at the institute and settled down there and lived happily ever after. I was a friend and colleague of Oppenheimer for fourteen years, from the year before his trial to the year of his death. I had plenty of time to study and reflect upon the qualities of this man who played such a paradoxical part both in my personal destiny and in the destiny of mankind. I was rarely privy to his thoughts. During the weeks of his trial, when he was staying in Washington at an address that was held tightly secret to avoid the pestering attentions of the press, my only contact with him was to deliver through a lawyer intermediary a badly needed package of laundry from Princeton. After the trial was over and the government had officially declared him untrustworthy, he came back to the institute and talked about physics. Life continued as before, except that the big steel safe and the two security guards who had watched over it night and day for seven years were no longer there. Some newspaper stories appeared, reporting rumors that the trustees of the institute were preparing to dismiss Oppenheimer on the grounds that a man publicly discredited could not adequately fulfill the duty of the director to represent the institute to the public. The trustees announced that they would be holding a meeting to review Oppenheimer's directorship and to decide upon his continued appointment. I made discreet inquiries among my friends in England to make sure I would have a job there to retreat to, so that I could resign my professorship promptly and dramatically if Oppenheimer was dismissed. The trustees held their meeting and issued a statement confirming his appointment and declaring their confidence in his leadership of the institute. I was glad to be spared the inconvenience of making a noble gesture. I was also glad that I could stay with Oppenheimer in Princeton. So far as I was concerned, he was a better director after his public humiliation than he had been before. He spent less time in Washington and more time at the institute. He was still a great public figure, a hero to the scientific brotherhood and to the international community of intellectuals, but he became more relaxed and more attentive to our day-to-day problems. He was able to get back to doing what he liked best--reading, thinking and talking about physics. Oppenheimer had a genuine and lifelong passion for physics. He wanted always to keep struggling to understand the basic mysteries of nature. I disappointed him by not becoming a deep thinker. He had hoped, when he impulsively appointed me a long-term member of the institute, that he was securing a young Bohr or a young Einstein. If he had asked my advice at that time, I would have told him, Dick Feynman is your man, I am not. I was, and have always remained, a problem solver rather than a creator of ideas. I cannot, as Bohr and Feynman did, sit for years with my whole mind concen trated upon one deep question. I am interested in too many different things. When I came to Oppenheimer asking for guidance, he said, "Follow your own destiny." I did so, and the results did not altogether please him. I followed my destiny into pure mathematics, into nuclear engineering, into space technology and astronomy, solving problems that he rightly considered remote from the mainstream of physics. The same difference of temperament appeared in our discussions of the administration of the school of physics at the institute. He liked to concentrate new appointments in fundamental particle physics; I liked to invite people in a wide variety of specialties. So we often disagreed, but respected and understood each other better as we grew old together. We agreed on the essentials. We agreed on appointing the Chinese physicists Yang and Lee to institute professorships while they were still young, and we rejoiced together as we watched them grow over our heads into great scientific leaders. What was so special about Oppenheimer? During the long years of daily contact I often asked myself this question. From time to time, exaggerated journalistic articles and television programs would appear, presenting him as a tragic hero. He dismissed all these effusions as unmitigated trash, but they contained a substratum of truth. I had not been altogether wrong at the beginning when I expected him to behave like the Archbishop in Eliot's play. He had a talent for self dramatization, an ability to project to his audience an image larger than life, to bestride the world as if it were a stage. Perhaps my mistake had been only in choosing the wrong play for him to star in. Nineteen thirty-five was a time of despair for writers all over the world. Eliot was not the only one who turned to poetic drama as the appropriate medium to express the tragic mood of that time. In the same year, Murder in the Cathedral appeared in England and Maxwell Anderson's Winterset in America. A year later, Auden and Isherwood wrote The Ascent of F6. F6 was played in London in 1937 with music by Benjamin Britten and marvelously caught the shadow of coming events. F6 is to Murder in the Cathedral as Hamlet is to King Lear. Eliot's Archbishop is a man of power and pride, redeemed like King Lear by serene submission to his fate in the hour of death. The hero of F6 is a more sophisticated, more modern character. He is a mountain climber, known to his friends as M.F., a Hamlet-like figure compounded of arrogance, ambiguity and human tenderness. Over the years, as I came to know Oppenheimer better, I found many aspects of his personality foreshadowed in M.F. I came to think that F6 was in some sense a true allegory of his life. The plot of F6 is simple. M.F. is an intellectual polymath, expert in European literature and Eastern philosophy. The newspaper accounts of his youthful exploits-- Was privately educated by a Hungarian tutor. Climbed the west buttress of Clogwyn Du'r Arddu While still in his teens ... Made a new traverse on the Grandes Jorasses ... Studied physiology in Vienna under Niedermayer ... Translated Confucius during a summer. Is unmarried. Hates dogs. Plays the viola da gamba. Is said to be an authority on Goya-- resemble strikingly the stories of Oppenheimer's precosity and preciosity as a young man. As M.F. went to the mountains for spiritual solace, so Oppenheimer went to physics. F6 is an unclimbed mountain of supreme beauty: Since boyhood, in dreams, I have seen the huge north face. On nights when I could not sleep I worked up those couloirs, crawled along the eastern arte, planning every movement, foreseeing every hold. It is also a political prize important to the security of the British Empire. It stands on the frontier of the empire, adjoining the territory of a hostile power, and the natives have been led to believe that whoever first climbs the mountain shall rule over the whole region. Lord Stagmantle, representing the political establishment, offers the necessary financial support for an expedition to climb the mountain with M.F. as leader, just as General Groves offered Oppenheimer the resources of the United States Army for the project that he was to direct at Los Alamos. M.F. refuses at first to be a party to the political game, but afterward accepts the offer. As Oppenheimer said at his trial, "When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb." F6 was technically sweet too. The drama of F6 illuminates many aspects of Oppenheimer's nature: His combination of philosophical detachment with driving ambition. His dedication to pure science and his skill and self-assur ance in the world of politics. His love of metaphysical poetry. His tendency to speak in cryptic poetic images. The harbor master at Lowestoft. The rapid and unpredictable shifts between warmth and coldness in his feelings toward those close to him. I once asked him if it was not a difficult thing for his children to have such a problematical figure for a father. He answered, "Oh, it's all right for them. They have no imagination." This reminded me of M.F.'s reply to the lady who accused him of being afraid when he at first refused to lead the expedition to F6: I am afraid of a great many things, Lady Isabel, but of nothing which you in your worst nightmares could ever imagine; and of that word least of all. At the foot of the mountain stands a monastery at which the expedition halts before beginning the ascent. The activities of the monks are directed toward the propitiation of the Demon who lives at the summit. The abbot carries a crystal ball in which each visitor looks in turn to see his personal vision of the Demon. Each sees an image of his own dreams and desires. When M.F. looks into the crystal, voices are heard coming out of the darkness offstage: Give me bread Restore my dead Give me a car Make me a star Make me strong Teach me where I belong Make me admired Make me desired Make us kind Make us of one mind Make us brave Save. The others ask him what he sees. He says he sees nothing. Later, when he is alone with the abbot, he reveals what he saw: Bring back the crystal. Let me look again and prove my vision a poor fake.... I thought I saw the raddled sick cheeks of the world light up at my approach as at the homecoming of an only son. The abbot, whose role in the story is a little like that of Niels Bohr at Los Alamos, explains the vision: The Demon is real. Only his ministry and his visitation are unique for every nature. To the complicated and sensitive like yourself, his disguises are more subtle.... I think I understand your temptation. You wish to conquer the Demon and then to save mankind. The ascent proceeds in desperate haste as it is reported that a rival expedition is already beginning its assault on the other side of the mountain. A young climber in M.F.'s team is killed. M.F. comments: The first victim to my pride.... The Abbot was perfectly right. My minor place in history is with the aberrant group of Caesars: the dullard murderers who hale the gentle from their beds of love and, with a quacking drum, escort them to the drowning ditch and the death in the desert. So it goes on, until at the end M.F. lies dead at the summit and the monks pronounce over his body the final chorus: Free now from indignation, Immune from all frustration, He lies in death alone; Now he with secret terror And every minor error Has also made Man's weakness known. Whom history has deserted, These have their power exerted In one convulsive throe; With sudden drowning suction Drew him to his destruction. But they to dissolution go. When I saw this play in 1937, "Whom history has deserted" meant the bankrupt political leadership of the British Empire, which was to be swept away in the approaching cataclysm of the Second World War. In 1954 the same phrase meant Lewis Strauss, the chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, his apparatus of security officers and informers, and his allies in the press, the government and the military establishment who helped him drag Oppenheimer down in disgrace. Auden and Isherwood succeeded remarkably in painting, or predicting, a good likeness of the character of Oppenheimer as I knew him from 1948 to 1965. But there was one essential feature missing, both from the Oppenheimer I knew and from the portrait in the play. The missing element was a greatness of spirit to which those who worked with him at Los Alamos bear almost unanimous witness. Again and again, in the reminiscences of Los Alamos veterans, we read how Oppenheimer communicated to the whole laboratory a personal style which made the enterprise run in harmony like an orchestra in the hands of a great conductor. Some of these reminiscences may be exaggerated and tinged with nostalgia. But there can be no doubt that Oppenheimer's leadership left on his Los Alamos colleagues an indelible impression of greatness. I often asked myself between 1948 and 1965: What was this greatness, and why was it no longer visible in the Oppenheimer I knew? Then at last, in 1966, I saw it for myself. In February 1966 he learned that he was dying of throat cancer. In the twelve months that remained to him, his spirit grew stronger as his bodily powers declined. The mannerisms of M.F. were discarded. He was simple, straightforward, and indomitably courageous. I saw then what his friends at Los Alamos had seen, a man carrying a crushing burden and still doing his job with such style and good humor that all of us around him felt uplifted by his example. The last time I saw him was in February 1967, at a meeting of the faculty of the physics school at the institute. We met to decide upon the choice of visiting members for the following year. Each of us had to do a substantial amount of homework before the meeting, reading through a big brown box full of applications and judging their relative merits. Oppenheimer came to the meeting as usual, although he well knew that he would not be there to welcome the new members on their arrival. He could speak only with great difficulty, but he had done his homework and he remembered accurately the weak or strong points of the various candidates. The last words I heard him say were, "We should say yes to Weinstein. He is good." After this supreme effort of will, Robert Oppenheimer went home to his bed and collapsed into a sleep from which he never woke. He died three days later. His wife, Kitty, called me to discuss arrangements for the memorial ceremony. Besides the music and the talks by Robert's friends describing his life and work, she wanted also to have a poem read, since poetry had always been an important part of Robert's life. She knew which poem she wanted to have read--"The Collar," by George Herbert, a poem that had been one of Robert's favorites and that she found particularly appropriate to describe how Robert had appeared to himself. Then she changed her mind. "No," she said, "that is too personal for such a public occasion." She had good reason for being afraid to bare Robert's soul in public. She knew from bitter experience how newspapers are apt to handle such disclosures. She could already imagine the horrible distortions of Robert's true feelings, appearing under the headline "Noted Scientist, Father of Atom Bomb, Turns to Religion in Last Illness." No poem was read at the ceremony. Now Kitty is dead too, and Robert has passed beyond the reach of any further journalistic distortion. I think it will do no harm if I print Herbert's poem here in full as a memorial to both of them. Perhaps it gives us a clue to Robert's innermost nature, a hint that in his soul there was after all more of King Lear than of Hamlet. I struck the board, and cry'd, "No more; I will abroad." What, shall I ever sigh and pine? My lines and life are free; free as the road, Loose as the wind, and large as store. Shall I be still in suit? Have I no harvest but a thorn To let me bloud, and not restore What I have lost with cordiall fruit? Sure there was wine Before my sighs did drie it; there was corn Before my tears did drown it; Is the yeare onely lost to me? Have I no bayes to crown it, No flowers, no garlands gay? all blasted, All wasted? Not so, my heart; but there is fruit, And thou hast hands. Recover all thy sigh-blown age On double pleasures; leave thy cold dispute Of what is fit and not; forsake thy cage, Thy rope of sands Which pettie thoughts have made; and made to thee Good cable, to enforce and draw, And be thy law, While thou didst wink and wouldst not see. Away! take heed; I will abroad. Call in thy death's-head there, tie up thy fears; He that forbears To suit and serve his need Deserves his load. But as I rav'd and grew more fierce and wilde At every word, Methought I heard one calling, "Childe"; And I reply'd, "My Lord." The Island of Doctor Moreau Not to go on all-fours; that is the Law. Are we not Men? Not to suck up Drink; that is the Law. Are we not men? Not to eat Flesh or Fish; that is the Law. Are we not men? Not to claw Bark or Trees; that is the Law. Are we not Men? Not to chase other Men; that is the Law. Are we not Men? Mutability of species was the great discovery of nineteenth-century biology. Darwin established the fact that all species, including the human, change with time. Darwin knew well what distress his discovery would cause to people of conscience, and on that account delayed his publication of it for twenty years. He had no wish to emphasize the conflict between the idea of mutability of species and ordinary human values and feelings. The depths of that conflict were first explored by H. G. Wells in two works of macabre imagination, The Time Machine and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells was a writer of genius who also happened to be a trained biologist. He understood better than most of us the comedy of the individual human being, and yet he never lost sight of his biological background, of the human species emerging from dubious origins and groping its way to an even more dubious destiny. He published Doctor Moreau in 1896, soon after The Time Machine had made him famous. Both stories were profoundly antagonistic to the prevailing atmosphere of late-Victorian optimism. Only later, when pessimism became fashionable, did Wells become an optimist. He always liked to swim against the tide. Long after the swings of fashion which first acclaimed and then rejected Wells's optimistic writings, Doctor Moreau remains a classic. The island of beasts butchered into a semblance of humanity by a mad physiologist is one of the most durable nightmares in the literature of scientific horror. ... Wells was right in seeing the long-range threats to human sanity and human survival coming from biology rather than from physics. The hydrogen bomb can easily destroy our civilization but can hardly exterminate us as a species. The hydrogen bomb is almost a simple problem, compared with the problems posed by a deliberate distortion or mutilation of the genetic apparatus of human beings. Nuclear war is not the worst of imaginable horrors. Doctor Moreau's island is worse. After Wells, the next biologist who gazed into the future to see the shape of things to come was J. B. S. Haldane. Haldane published in 1924 a little book, Daedalus, or Science and the Future, which is in many ways the best book ever written about the human consequences of progress in biology. Haldane has a lighter and more ironic style, but his conclusions are no less bleak than those of Wells. Most of the biological inventions which Aldous Huxley used a few years later as background for his novel Brave New World were cribbed from Haldane's Daedalus. Haldane's vision of a future society, with universal contraception, test-tube babies, and free use of psychotropic drugs, became a part of the popular culture of our century through Huxley's brilliant dramatization. Huxley added to Haldane's picture an important new twist, the manufacture of large batches of identical human beings by cloning. But in its essence, Huxley's Brave New World is only Moreau's Island enlarged and brought up to date by the addition of modern technology. Drugs replace whips and genetic programming replaces surgery. Huxley's hero, like Wells's, is a natural man totally disoriented by the discovery that the fellow creatures with whom he tries to form human relationships are not fully human. To a person with truly human sensibilities, Huxley's world of synthetic happiness is as alien as Wells's island of misery and degradation. Haldane did more than add technical sophistication to Wells's nightmare. He also presented a new vision of the character of the scientist. Doctor Moreau was a pathological character of a simple type: a man of great intellect driven crazy by frustrated ambition. Haldane chooses for his archetype of the experimental biologist the mythical figure of Daedalus, who according to legend superintended the successful hybridization of woman and bull to produce the Minotaur. The chemical or physical inventor is always a Prometheus. There is no great invention, from fire to flying, that has not been hailed as an insult to some god. But if every physical and chemical invention is a blasphemy, every biological invention is a perversion.... I fancy that the sentimental interest attaching to Prometheus has unduly distracted our attention from the far more interesting figure of Daedalus. He was the first to demonstrate that the scientific worker is not concerned with gods. The unconscious mind of the early Greeks, who focussed in this amazing figure the dim traditions of Minoan science, was presumably aware of this fact. The most monstrous and unnatural action in all human legend was unpunished in this world or the next. Socrates was proud to claim him as an ancestor.... We are at present almost completely ignorant of biology, a fact which often escapes the notice of biologists, and renders them too presumptuous in their estimates of the present position of their science, too modest in their claims for its future.... The conservative has but little to fear from the man whose reason is the servant of his passions, but let him beware of him in whom reason has become the greatest and most terrible of the passions. These are the wreckers of outworn empires and civilizations, doubters, disintegrators, deicides.... I do not say that biologists as a general rule try to imagine in any detail the future applications of their science. They do not see themselves as sinister or revolutionary figures. They have no time to dream. But I suspect that more of them dream than would care to confess it.... The scientific worker of the future will more and more resemble the lonely figure of Daedalus as he becomes conscious of his ghastly mission and proud of it. Black is his robe from top to toe, His flesh is white and warm below, All through his silent veins flow free Hunger and thirst and venery, But in his eyes a still small flame Like the first cell from which he came Burns round and luminous, as he rides Singing my song of deicides. Haldane evidently fancied himself a Renaissance man, classical scholar and poet as well as biologist. His portrait of Daedalus is in its way as impressive as Goethe's portrait of Faust. But does all this poetic imagery have anything to do with reality? Do our professors of biology nowadays ride around their laboratories singing songs of deicides? Obviously not, in the literal sense. In their outward appearance, professors of biology resemble Daedalus just as little as professors of physics resemble Faust. And yet, on a deeper level, the legends speak truth. Teller, with his indomitable urge to light a thermonuclear fire on earth, was following in the footsteps of Faust. Darwin, quietly accumulating fact upon fact until he was ready to demolish forever the comfortable universe of Victorian piety, was a deicide as implacable as Daedalus. The modern molecular biologists who are learning to read and write the language of the genes will in the end, whether they intend it or not, demolish our comfortable world of well-defined species with its impassable barriers separating the human from the nonhuman. In each of them the spirit of Daedalus is riding. Two things we have learned from Wells and Haldane. Man cannot play God and still stay sane. And the progress of biology is inescapably placing in man's hands the power to play God. But from these two facts it does not follow that there is no hope for us. We still can choose to be masters of our fate. To deny to any man the power to play God, it is not necessary to forbid him to experiment and explore. It is necessary only to make strict laws placing the applications of his knowledge under public control. Such laws already exist in many countries, restricting the use of dangerous medical procedures, drugs and explosives. In the future, we shall need to arrive at a reasonable political compromise, allowing biologists freedom to explore the marvels of genetic programming that underly the living world, while severely limiting the right of anyone to program new species and let them loose where they may disturb nature's balance or our own social equilibrium. Such a political compromise should not be impossible to maintain. The biologists have already made a good beginning. The biologists showed extraordinary wisdom in their handling of the problem of biological weapons. Their wisdom has greatly improved our chances of finding acceptable political solutions to the problems of regulating other possible abuses of biology. Aldous Huxley in Brave New World mentions in passing the anthrax bombs with which human populations were exterminated in the Nine Years' War preceding the establishment of the benevolent dictatorship of the World Controllers. Anthrax bombs are a real possibility. They could be cheap and easy to manufacture and extremely lethal to unprepared populations. Anthrax bacilli are peculiarly unpleasant because they form spores which survive and remain infective for many years. Designers of biological weapons have generally preferred to use other types of disease germ, which are as lethal as anthrax but not as persistent. If any of these weapons were ever used on a large scale, they would probably cause as much death and human misery as a war fought with hydrogen bombs. It stands to the everlasting credit of the international fraternity of biologists that biologists, with rare exceptions, never pushed the development of biological weapons. Also, biologists persuaded the governments of those countries that had started serious biological weapons programs to abandon their programs and to destroy their stockpiles of weapons. To measure the greatness of the biologists' achievement, we may imagine what the world would now be like if the physicists had first declined to push nuclear weaponry and later persuaded their governments to destroy nuclear stockpiles. The biologists, unlike the physicists, came through their first trial at the bar of history with clean hands. The man who did more than any other single person to rid the world of biological weapons is Matthew Meselson, professor of biology at Harvard. He came as I did to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency for the summer of 1963, to see what he could do for peace. Unlike me, he did not allow himself to be distracted by the excitements of the test-ban negotiations, but kept to his own business. His business was biological weapons. Meselson knew little about biological weapons when he came to ACDA. Like other academic biologists, he had had almost no contact with the closed military world in which biological weapons were developed and their uses were planned. Through ACDA he was able to gain access to that world. He talked with army officers who specialized in biological warfare, and read their writings. He moved freely in the world of biological agents and distribution systems. What he saw there appalled him. The most frightening of all the things which Meselson discovered during that summer at ACDA was Army Field Manual 3-10. This was a booklet issued to combat units to instruct them in the details of biological warfare. A series of graphs is presented which tell how many biological-agent bomblets an aircraft should drop to cover a given area under given conditions, daytime or nighttime, for various types of terrain and various types of human target. The text is written in the same matter-of-fact prose that the army would use for a field manual on the proper method of digging a latrine. And the booklet is unclassified. It was, in 1963, widely distributed among United States units and easily available to foreign intelligence services. It carried a clear message to any foreign general staff officers who might happen to read it. It said that the United States was equipped and prepared for biological warfare, that this was the way a modern army should be trained, that every country which wanted to keep up with the Joneses must have its own biological agents and its bomblets too. After he read Field Manual 3-10, Meselson vowed that he would fight against this nonsense and not rest until he had got rid of it. He worked indefatigably, in private and in public, to expose the idiocy of American policies concerning biological warfare. His arguments rested on three main points. First, biological weapons are uniquely dangerous in providing opportunities for a small and poor country, or even for a group of terrorists, to do grave and widespread damage to a large country such as the United States. Second, the chief factors increasing the risk that other countries might acquire and use biological weapons are our own development of agents and our own propaganda as typified by Field Manual 3-10. Third, biological weapons are uniquely unreliable and therefore inappropriate to any rational military mission for which the United States might intend to use them, even including the mission of retaliation in kind for a biological attack on our own people. Meselson found that it was not difficult to persuade military and political leaders to agree with his first two points. The crucial question was the third one. Did there exist any realistic military requirement for United States biological weapons? Here there was a division of opinion between the biological warfare generals and the rest of the military establishment. The biological warfare generals sincerely believed that we needed biological weapons to deter by threat of retaliation the use of biological weapons by others. Meselson had to show that their belief was based on an illusion. He appeared to confront them when they came to argue for their programs before congressional committees. He asked them, in his quiet and polite voice, "General, we would like to know, supposing that the United States had been attacked with biological weapons and the President had given the order to retaliate, just what would you do? Where, and how, and against whom, would you use our weapons?" The generals were never able to give him a clear answer. There was in fact no answer to these questions. Biological weapons are so chancy, their effects so unpredictable and uncontrollable, that no responsible soldier would want to use them if he had any available alternative. For the mission of retaliation in reply to a massive and deliberate biological attack, the alternative of nuclear weapons was available and would be preferred. After listening to Meselson's questions and to the generals' answers, the congressmen became convinced that his third point was valid. Even from the narrowest military point of view, our biological weapons policy made no sense. In 1968 fate placed a great opportunity in Meselson's hands. Henry Kissinger had been for many years a Harvard professor, working in the building next door to Meselson's laboratory, and had followed the progress of Meselson's campaign against biological weapons. In 1968 Kissinger became right-hand man to President Nixon. Meselson urged Kissinger to move fast. Biological weapons were the one area in which Nixon could halt an arms race by unilateral action, with the assurance that Congress would support him. Kissinger and the other members of the National Security Council presented Nixon with the arguments for and against biological weapons. In November 1969, less than a year after taking office, Nixon announced the unilateral abandonment by the United States of all development of biological weapons, the destruction of our weapon stockpiles, and the conversion of our biological warfare laboratories to open programs of medical research. This was Nixon's finest hour. It was a historic and statesmanlike action, fortunately completed before the shadows of Watergate began to close around him. It was a bold step, to undertake a major act of disarmament unilaterally. Many people in the government were saying, "Let us by all means get rid of biological weapons, but let us not do it unilaterally. Let us negotiate with the Russians and keep what we have until they agree to destroy theirs too." Meselson insisted that unilateral action must come first, negotiation second. If Nixon had begun with negotiations, there would have been endless discussions about the technical problems of monitoring violations of an agreement, with the probable result that no agreement could have been reached. At the very best, it would have taken years to negotiate a treaty, and in the meantime the biological weapons programs might have gained political support which would have made a treaty difficult to ratify. Nixon's unilateral action removed all these difficulties. After announcing the American decision to abandon biological weapons, Nixon invited the Soviet Union to negotiate a con vention to make the action multilateral. Negotiations were begun, with the United States negotiating "from a position of weakness," having nothing more to give in exchange for Soviet compliance. According to orthodox diplomatic doctrine, to negotiate from a position of weakness is a mistake. But in this case the tactic was successful. The Soviet political leaders were evidently convinced by Nixon's action that their own biological weapons were as useless and as dangerous as ours. Brezhnev signed the convention, agreeing to dismantle his programs, in the summer of 1972, just nine years after Meselson arrived at ACDA and began to read Field Manual 3-10. Seldom in human history has one man, armed only with the voice of reason, won so complete a victory. Meselson does not regard his victory as complete so long as chemical weapons are not also outlawed and abandoned. He has continued the fight against chemical warfare. In 1970 he traveled to Vietnam to investigate and document the use of chemical agents there. His arguments against chemical warfare are based on detailed knowledge of military history and doctrine. His case against chemicals is as robust as his case against biologicals. But to win the second battle will take him a little longer. It is possible to imagine Meselson's tactics being used successfully against other varieties of dangerous weapons, and in particular against tactical nuclear weapons. Perhaps we could hammer at the tactical nuclear generals as adroitly as Meselson hammered at the biological generals, asking them, "Please, General, will you be so kind as to tell us, supposing that the North Koreans were overrunning Seoul and the South Koreans were in retreat, what precisely would you do? Where, and how, and against whom, would you use our nuclear weapons?" Perhaps the generals would be unable to find convincing answers to such questions. Perhaps we might conclude, after hearing their answers, that a unilateral withdrawal of tactical nuclear weapons would be to everybody's advantage. Saving the world from biological warfare was for Meselson only a hobby. Through all those years he also pursued a successful career in biological research. He runs a laboratory at Harvard in which he explores the structure of genes. In his genetic research he uses various techniques, including the technique of cloning DNA molecules by artificial recombination. This "recombinant DNA" technique places a piece of DNA, from any gene which we desire to study, into a convenient bacterium, so that the multiplication of the bacterium produces a cloning of the gene. As a result of his leadership in the Harvard work with recombinant DNA, Meselson found himself embroiled in yet another political battle. The mayor of Cambridge, supported by a few distinguished biologists and by the radical faction of the Cambridge academic community, tried to prohibit experiments with recombinant DNA in Cambridge. Meselson and his colleagues told the mayor that they were doing nothing that endangered the health of the public. The city council voted to appoint a Citizens' Committee, a group of eight people unconnected with biological research, to advise the city whether or not to allow work with recombinant DNA to continue. Experiments were banned while the Citizens' Committee was studying the problem. The temporary ban lasted for seven months. The Cambridge Citizens' Committee worked hard and heard all sides of the argument surrounding recombinant DNA. Meselson and his colleagues presented to the committee members the case for continuing recombinant DNA experiments. With inexhaustible patience, Meselson explained the many difficult technical and moral issues that the committee had to consider. The committee members listened to him and trusted his quiet uncertainty more than they trusted the loud certainty of his opponents. In the end they voted unanimously to recommend to the City of Cambridge the continuation of recombinant DNA experiments, subject to reasonable restrictions and supervision by local public health authorities. The city council accepted the committee's recommendations and Meselson could go back to work in his laboratory. Why is there this intense public furor over recombinant DNA experiments? The public concern arose because two quite separate issues became confused. On the one hand, there may be an immediate danger to public health if certain kinds of recombinant DNA are grown in the laboratory and released into the environment in an irresponsible fashion. On the other hand, there are the long-range horrors, beginning with Doctor Moreau and ending with the cloning of human beings, that may come to pass as a result of misapplication of biological knowledge. The biologists who began the recombinant DNA experiments were aware of the possibility of an immediate public health danger. The molecular biologist Maxine Singer, wife of the Daniel Singer who had been the Federation of American Scien tists' general counsel, published a statement calling attention to the danger, soon after the first experiments were done. In 1975 an international meeting of biologists voluntarily drew up a set of guidelines, prohibiting experiments that seemed to them irresponsible and recommending containment procedures for permissible experiments. Guidelines similar to theirs have now been accepted by biologists and governments all over the world. These guidelines have made any immediate public health hazard resulting from DNA experiments very unlikely. One cannot say that the immediate hazards are nonexistent, but they are smaller than the hazards associated with the standard procedures for handling disease germs in clinical laboratories and in hospitals. So from the point of view of the public health authorities, the risks of recombinant DNA experiments are adequately controlled. Why, then, is the public still scared? The public is scared because the public sees farther into the future and is concerned with larger issues than immediate health hazards. The public knows that recombinant DNA experiments will ultimately give the biologists knowledge of the genetic design of all creatures including ourselves. The public is rightly afraid of the abuse of this knowledge. When the National Academy of Sciences organized a meeting in Washington to give all sides of the recombinant DNA debate a chance to be heard, the public appeared in the guise of a gang of young people carrying placards and chanting, "We won't be cloned." The public sees, behind the honest faces of Matthew Meselson and Maxine Singer, the sinister figures of Doctor Moreau and Daedalus. Recombinant DNA experiments are continuing in many places with great success. No harmful effects on the health of humans, animals or plants have been detected. But this does not mean that the long-range dangers of biological knowledge have vanished. Recombinant DNA is only one technique among many in the broad advance of biology. With or without recombinant DNA, the advance of biology will continue. It is biology itself, and not any particular technique, that is leading us swiftly onward into that uncharted ocean where Doctor Moreau's island lies. Matthew Meselson's purpose as a biologist and as a citizen is "to build an ethos for the future, one that says a deep knowledge of life processes must be used only to reinforce what is essentially human in us." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti The Greening of the Galaxy My mother was nineteen years old when the South African war began in 1899, and she lived to see the Americans defeated in Vietnam. She often told me that her memories of England during the South African war made it easy for her to understand what the Vietnam war had done to America. The South African war was for England not just a military and political disaster; it was a collapse of a whole system of values. To my mother and her generation, brought up in the tradition of liberal imperialism, the deepest psychological trauma came not from seeing the great British Empire outwitted and outmaneuvered by the two minuscule Boer republics, but from seeing the British Empire starve the Boers into submission by scorching their earth and herding their women and children into concentration camps. Some of my mother's friends were secretly pro-Boer. To be openly pro-Boer required as much courage as to be openly for Ho Chi Minh in the America of 1965. The war divided families and called loyalties into question. It came suddenly, out of a blue sky, at the end of the long summer of Victorian progress and prosperity. The worst year was 1901. The old queen died in January, and her death symbolized the passing of the comfortable certainties that English people had come to accept during the sixty-three years of her reign. Through 1901 the war dragged on, as ugly and as inconclusive as the war in Vietnam. England came to the end of 1901 and moved into 1902 with the Boers still fighting and their families still dying of dysentery in the concentration camps. Victorian optimism was gone forever. Doom and gloom were in the air. At that moment, on Friday, January 24, 1902, six years after writing The Island of Doctor Moreau, H. G. Wells gave a lecture at he Royal Institution in London with the title "The Discovery of the Future." Now that the shallow optimism of his countrymen had been replaced by an equally shallow despair, Wells decided that the time had come to tell them a story as different from Doctor Moreau as it is possible to imagine. This is the way his lecture ended: Do not misunderstand me when I speak of the greatness of human destiny. If I may speak quite openly to you, I will confess that, considered as a final product, I do not think very much of myself or (saving your presence) my fellow creatures. I do not think I could possibly join in the worship of humanity with any gravity or sincerity. Think of it. Think of the positive facts. There are surely moods for all of us when one can feel Swift's amazement that such a being should deal in pride. There are moods when one can join in the laughter of Democritus; and they would come oftener were not the spectacle of human littleness so abundantly shot with pain. But it is not only with pain that the world is shot--it is shot with promise. Small as our vanity and carnality makes us, there has been a day of still smaller things. It is the long ascent of the past that gives the lie to our despair. We know now that all the blood and passion of our life was represented in the Carboniferous time by something--something, perhaps, cold-blooded and with a clammy skin, that lurked between air and water, and fled before the giant amphibia of those days. For all the folly, blindness and pain of our lives, we have come some way from that. And the distance we have traveled gives us some earnest of the way we have yet to go.... It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening. We cannot see, there is no need for us to see, what this world will be like when the day has fully come. We are creatures of the twilight. But it is out of our race and lineage that minds will spring, that will reach back to us in our littleness to know us better than we know ourselves, and that will reach forward fearlessly to comprehend this future that defeats our eyes. All this world is heavy with the promise of greater things, and a day will come, one day in the unending succession of days, when beings, beings who are now latent in our thoughts and hidden in our loins, shall stand upon this earth as one stands upon a footstool, and shall laugh and reach out their hands amidst the stars. Forty-five years later, at the end of a bigger and even more brutal war, the poet Robinson Jeffers succinctly put the case against Wells's vision of the future: Names foul in the mouthing. The human race is bound to defile, I've often noticed it, Whatever they can reach or name, they'd shit on the morning star If they could reach.... The awful power that feeds the life of the stars has been tricked down Into the common stews and shambles.... A day will come when the earth will scratch herself and smile and rub off humanity. Wells and Jeffers are both right. Humanity is provisional and contemptible, big with promise and with mischief. Our path into the future will not be simple and easy. Wells never said it would be. The fact that men are ugly does not mean that the universe is ugly. Jeffers never said it was. In everything we undertake, either on earth or in the sky, we have a choice of two styles, which I call the gray and the green. The distinction between gray and green is not sharp. Only at the extremes of the spectrum can we say without qualification, this is green and that is gray. The difference between green and gray is better explained by examples than by definitions. Factories are gray, gardens are green. Physics is gray, biology is green. Plutonium is gray, horse manure is green. Bureaucracy is gray, pioneer communities are green. Self-reproducing machines are gray, trees and children are green. Human technology is gray, God's technology is green. Clones are gray, clades are green. Army field manuals are gray, poems are green. Why should we not say simply, gray is bad, green is good, and find a quick path to salvation by embracing green technology and banning everything gray? Because to answer the world's material needs, technology has to be not only beautiful but also cheap. We delude ourselves if we think that the ideology of "Green Is Beautiful" will save us from the necessity of making difficult choices in the future, any more than other ideologies have saved us from difficult choices in the past. Here on earth, solar energy is one of the great human needs. Every country, rich or poor, is bathed in an abundance of solar energy, but we have no cheap and widely available technology for converting this energy into the fuel and electricity that our daily life requires. To convert sunlight into fuel or electricity is a scientifically trivial problem. Many different technologies can in principle make the conversion. But all the existing technologies are expensive. We cannot afford to deploy these technologies on a large enough scale to shift a major fraction of our energy consumption away from our rapidly diminishing reserves of natural gas and oil. Ted Taylor, after he finished his work on nuclear theft and nuclear safeguards, decided to devote the rest of his working life to the problems of solar energy. He has worked out a design for a system of solar ponds that might possibly, if all goes well, turn out to be radically cheaper than any existing solar energy technology. The idea is to dig large ponds enclosed by dikes and covered with transparent plastic air mattresses, so that the water is heated by sunlight and insulated against cooling winds and evaporation. The water stays hot, summer and winter. Its heat energy can be used for domestic heating, or converted into electricity or into energy of chemical fuels by simple heat engines that are commercially available. If everything works according to plan, the whole system will convert the energy of sunlight falling on the ponds into fuel and electricity with an efficiency of about five percent and at a cost competitive with coal and oil. I am not making any prediction that Ted's scheme will actually work. Innumerable engineering problems, not to speak of economic and legal snags, must be overcome before we can know whether the scheme's theoretical promise is realizable. I make only the hypothetical statement that if it should happen that everything works as we hope, these ponds will turn the energy economy of the world upside down. Countries with abundant sunshine and water, in particular the poor countries of the humid tropics, will in time become as wealthy as the oil-exporting countries are today. And their wealth will be self-sustaining, not based on a finite store of irreplaceable resources. Fortunately, this economic transformation of the world does not depend on the success of Ted Taylor's plans. It does not matter much whether Ted's particular idea works or not. Ted is only one man with one design for a solar energy system. Around the world there are hundreds of other groups with other ideas and other designs. All we need to transform the world is one cheap and successful system. It does not have to be Ted's. We should only be careful to give all the groups who come forward with ideas a chance to show what they can do. None of them should be discouraged or excluded on ideological grounds. Ted's technology is gray rather than green, designed for utility rather than beauty. It is interesting to picture what Ted's solar energy system will do to the physical appearance of our planet, if it should happen that it achieves economic success and is developed on a large scale. We may imagine, as an extreme and unlikely contingency, that the whole world might decide to build enough solar ponds to generate all the energy that is now consumed each year, replacing entirely our present consumption of oil, gas, coal and uranium. This would require that we cover with ponds and plastic about one percent of the land area of the planet. This is about equal to the fraction of the area of the United States now covered with paved highways. The capital costs of the entire solar energy system would also be comparable with the cost of an equal area of highways. In other words, to provide a permanently renewable energy supply for the whole world would only require us to duplicate on a worldwide scale the environmental and financial sacrifices that the United States has made for the automobile. The people of the United States considered the costs of the automobile to be acceptable. I do not venture to guess whether they would consider the same costs worth paying again for a clean and inexhaustible supply of energy. It is likely that in many poorer countries, where energy consumption is smaller and alternative sources of supply are unavailable, people would consider Ted's ponds a great bargain. Some people might even prefer plastic ponds to highways. At least you can walk between ponds more easily than you can walk across highways. So gray technology is not without value and not without promise. It offers a hope of escape from poverty for the tropical countries around the Caribbean Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is possible to imagine it achieving a major shift of United States energy consumption from fossil fuels to solar energy within twenty-five years, roughly the time it took to build our national highway system. It is important for many reasons that this shift be made rapidly, before the world's supply of oil runs out. But if we look further ahead than twenty-five or fifty years, green technology has an even greater promise. Especially in the area of solar energy, everything that gray technology can do, green technology can ultimately do better. Long ago God invented the tree, a device for converting air, water and sunlight into fuel and other useful chemicals. A tree is more versatile and more economical than any device our gray technology has imagined. The main drawback of trees as solar energy systems is that we do not know how to harvest them without destroying them and damaging the landscape in which they are growing. The process of harvesting is economically inefficient and aesthetically unpleasant. The chemicals that trees naturally produce do not fit easily into the patterns of use and distribution of an oil-based economy. Imagine a solar energy system based upon green technology, after we have learned to read and write the language of DNA so that we can reprogram the growth and metabolism of a tree. All that is visible above ground is a valley filled with redwood trees, as quiet and shady as the Muir Woods below Mount Tamalpais in California. These trees do not grow as fast as natural redwoods. Instead of mainly synthesizing cellulose, their cells make pure alcohol or octane or whatever other chemical we find convenient. While their sap rises through one set of vessels, the fuel that they synthesize flows downward through another set of vessels into their roots. Underground, the roots form a living network of pipelines transporting fuel down the valley. The living pipelines connect at widely separated points to a nonliving pipeline that takes the fuel out of the valley to wherever it is needed. When we have mastered the technology of reprogramming trees, we shall be able to grow such plantations wherever there is land that can support natural forests. We can grow fuel from redwoods in California, from maples in New Jersey, from sycamores in Georgia, from pine forests in Canada. Once the plantations are grown, they may be permanent and self-repairing, needing only the normal attentions of a forester to keep them healthy. If we assume that the conversion of sunlight to chemical fuel has an overall efficiency of one-half percent, comparable with the efficiency of growth in natural forests, then the entire present energy consumption of the world could be supplied by growing fuel plantations on about ten percent of the land area. In the humid tropics, less land would be needed for the same output of fuel. Ted Taylor has proposed a plan for building a solar pond system to supply domestic heat, hot water, electricity and air conditioning to a hundred apartments that are used to house the families of the visiting members who come to work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He hopes that he can build such a system for a total cost of about five thousand dollars per family. The existing oil-heating system would be kept on standby so that the institute members will not freeze when the solar ponds run into difficulties. This plan for a hundred-family demonstration is not just a scaled down pilot-plant experiment. It is a full-scale test of the solar pond system. One of the beauties of Ted's idea is that solar ponds are cost effective at a hundred-family scale. There is no advantage in going to larger centralized units. Even if the whole world were to be fueled by solar ponds, the system would still be decentralized, with individual units of about the size we are hoping to build in Princeton. We are not at present contemplating any plan to turn our institute woods into a plantation of artificial trees to supply fuel for the institute's needs. That will come much later, if it ever comes at all. Most of us, given the choice, would rather walk among trees than among plastic ponds. But the technology of artificial trees will take a long time to develop. It may take fifty years, or a hundred, or two hundred. It will probably be a difficult and controversial development, with many mistakes, many failures, many experiments that go well at first but then run into obscure and complicated difficulties. To master the genetic programming of a single species will be only the first step. To make artificial trees survive and flourish in the natural environment, the programmer will need to understand their ecological relationships with thousands of other species that live on their leaves and branches or in the soil among their roots. Perhaps the programming and breeding of artificial trees will always remain an art rather than a science. Perhaps the people who grow fuel plantations will need green thumbs in addition to a knowledge of DNA and computer software. That is another of the advantages of green technology. But the need of mankind for solar energy is urgent. We cannot wait a hundred years for it. If plastic ponds can do the job quicker, we must dig our plastic ponds and leave the trees for our grandchildren. When mankind moves out from earth into space, we carry our problems with us. The utilization of solar energy will remain one of our central problems. In space as on earth, technology must be cheap if it is to be more than a plaything of the rich. In space as on earth, we shall have a choice of technologies, gray and green, and the economic constraints that limit our choice on earth will have their analogs in space. Our existing technology for using solar energy in space is based on photovoltaic cells made of silicon. These are excellent for powering scientific instruments but far too expensive for ordinary human needs. Solar ponds may be cheap and efficient on earth but are not an appropriate technology for use in space. It happens that the solar system is divided rather sharply into two zones: an inner zone close to the sun, where sunlight is abundant and water scarce; and an outer zone away from the sun, where water is abundant and sunlight scarce. The earth is on the boundary between the two zones and is the only place, so far as we know, where both sunlight and water are abundant. That is presumably the reason why life arose on earth. It is also the reason why solar ponds are more likely to be useful on earth than anywhere else in the solar system. We should be looking for technologies that will radically transform the economics of going into space. We need to reduce the costs of space operations, not just by factors of five or ten but by factors of a hundred or a thousand, before the large-scale expansion of mankind into the solar system will be possible. It seems likely that the appropriate technologies will be different in the inner and outer zones. The inner zone, with abundant sunlight and little water, must be a zone of gray technology. Great machines and governmental enterprises can flourish best in those regions of the solar system that are inhospitable to man. Self-reproducing automata built of iron, aluminum and silicon have no need of water. They can proliferate on the moon or on Mercury or in the spaces between, carrying out gigantic industrial projects at no risk to the earth's ecology. They will feed upon sunlight and rock, needing no other raw material for their growth. They will build in space free-floating cities for human habitation. They will bring oceans of water from the satellites of the outer planets, where it is to be had in abundance, to the inner zone, where it is needed. The proliferation of gray technology in the inner zone of the solar system can alleviate in many ways the economic problems of mankind on earth. The resources of matter and sunlight available in the inner zone exceed by many powers of ten the resources available on the earth's surface. Earth may be directly supplied from space with scarce minerals and industrial products, or even with food and fuel. Earth may be treasured and preserved as a residential parkland, or as a wilderness area, while large-scale mining and manufacturing operations are banished to the moon and the asteroids. Emigration of people from earth will not by itself solve earth's population problem. Earth's population problem must be solved on earth, one way or another, whether or not there is emigration. But the possibility of emigration may indirectly help a great deal to make earth's problem tractable. It may be psychologically and politically easier for the people who remain on earth to accept strict limits on the growth of their population if those who feel an irrepressible emotional commitment to the raising of large families have another place to which they can go. Where will the emigrants go? Gray technology does not provide a satisfactory answer to this question. Gray technology can build colonies in space in the style of O'Neill's "Island One," cans of metal and glass in which people live hygienic and protected lives, insulated from both the wildness of earth and the wildness of space. We will be lucky if the people in these metal-and-glass cans do not come to resemble more and more as time goes on the people of Huxley's Brave New World. Humanity requires a larger and freer habitat. We do not live by bread alone. The fundamental problem of man's future is not economic but spiritual, the problem of diversity. How do we find room for diversity, either on our crowded earth or in the metal and-glass cans that our existing space technology provides as living space? Diversity on the social level means preserving a multiplicity of languages and cultures and allowing room for the growth of new ones, in the face of the homogenizing influences of modern communications and mass media. Diversity on the biological level means allowing parents the right to use the technology of genetic manipulation to raise children healthier or longer-lived or more gifted than themselves. The consequence of allowing to parents freedom of genetic diversification would probably be the splitting of mankind into a clade of noninterbreeding species. It is difficult to imagine that any of our existing social institutions would be strong enough to withstand the strains that such a splitting would impose.. The strains would be like the strains caused by the diversity of human skin color, only a hundred times worse. So long as mankind remains confined to this planet, the ethic of human brotherhood must prevail over our desire for diversity. Cultural diversity will inexorably diminish, and biological diversity will be too dangerous to be tolerated In the long run, the only solution that I see to the problem of diversity is the expansion of mankind into the universe by means of green technology. Green technology pushes us in the right direction, outward from the sun, to the asteroids and the giant planets and beyond, where space is limitless and the frontier forever open. Green technology means that we do not live in cans but adapt our plants and our animals and ourselves to live wild in the universe as we find it. The Mongolian nomads developed a tough skin and a slit-shaped eye to withstand the cold winds of Asia. If some of our grandchildren are born with an even tougher skin and an even narrower eye, they may walk bare-faced in the winds of Mars. The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence. If we are using green technology, our expansion into the universe is not just an expansion of men and machines. It is an expansion of all life, making use of man's brain for her own purposes. When life invades a new habitat, she never moves with a single species. She comes with a variety of species, and as soon as she is established, her species spread and diversify still further. Our spread through the galaxy will follow her ancient pattern. To make a tree grow on an asteroid in airless space by the light of a distant sun, we need to redesign the skin of its leaves. In every organism the skin is the crucial part which must be delicately tailored to the demands of the environment. This also is not a new idea. My conversation with the natives: "Where do you come from?" I asked them. "We migrated from another planet." "How did you happen to come here and live in a vacuum, when your bodies were designed for living in an atmosphere?" "I can't explain how we got here, that is too complicated, but I can tell you that our bodies gradually changed and adapted to life in a vacuum in the same way as your water-animals gradually became land-animals and your land-animals gradually took to flying. On planets, water-animals generally appear first, air breathing animals later, and vacuum-animals last." "How do you eat?" "We eat and grow like plants, using sunlight." "But I still don't understand. A plant absorbs juices from the ground and gases from the air, and the sunlight only converts these things into living tissue." "You see these green appendages on our bodies, looking like beautiful emerald wings? They are full of chloroplasts like the ones that make your plants green. A few of your animals have them too. Our wings have a glassy skin that is airtight and watertight but still lets the sunlight through. The sunlight dissociates carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the blood that flows through our wings, and catalyzes a thousand other chemical reactions that supply us with all the substances we need...." The quotation is from Konstantin Tsiolkovsky's Dreams of Earth and Sky, published in Moscow in 1895, seven years before Wells's lecture on the discovery of the future. We do not yet know what the asteroids are made of. Many of them are extremely dark in color and have optical characteristics resembling those of a kind of meteorite called carbonaceous chondrite. The carbonaceous chondrites are made of stuff rather like terrestrial soil, containing a fair fraction of water and carbon and other chemicals essential to life. It is possible that we shall be lucky and find that the black asteroids are made of carbonacous chondrite material. Certainly there must be some place in the solar system from which the carbonaceous chrondrites come. If it turns out that the black asteroids are the place, then we have millions of little worlds, conveniently accessible from earth, where suitably programmed trees could take root and grow in the soil as they find it. With the trees will come other plants, and animals, and humans, whole ecologies in endless variety, each little world free to experiment and diversify as it sees fit. Man's gray technology is also a part of nature. It was, and will remain, essential for making the jump from earth into space. The gray technology was nature's trick, invented to enable life to escape from earth. The green technology of genetic manipulation was another trick of nature, invented to enable life to adapt rapidly and purposefully rather than slowly and randomly to her new home, so that she could not only escape from earth but spread and diversify and run loose in the universe. All our skills are a part of nature's plan and are used by her for her own purposes. Where do we go next after we have passed beyond the asteroids? The satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are rich in ice and organic nutrients. They are cold and far from the sun, but plants can grow on them if we teach the plants to grow like living greenhouses. There is no reason why a plant cannot grow its own greenhouse, just as a turtle or an oyster grows its own shell. Moving out beyond Jupiter and Saturn, we come to the realm of the comets. It is likely that the space around the solar system is populated by huge numbers of comets, small worlds a few miles in diameter, composed almost entirely of ice and other chemicals essential to life. We see one of these comets only when it happens to suffer a perturbation of its orbit which sends it plunging close to the sun. Roughly one comet per year is captured into the region near the sun, where it eventually evaporates and disintegrates. If we assume that the supply of distant comets is sufficient to sustain this process over the billions of years that the solar system has existed, then the total population of comets loosely attached to the sun must be numbered in the billions. The combined surface area of these comets is then at least a thousand times that of earth. Comets, not planets, may be the major potential habitat of life in the solar system. It may or may not be true that other stars have as many comets as the sun. We have no evidence one way or the other. If the sun is not exceptional in this regard, then comets pervade our entire galaxy, and the galaxy is a much friendlier place for interstellar travelers than most people imagine. The average distance between habitable islands in the ocean of space will then not be measured in light-years but will be of the order of a light-day or less. Whether or not the comets provide convenient way stations for the migration of life all over the galaxy, the interstellar distances cannot be a permanent barrier to life's expansion. Once life has learned to encapsulate itself against the cold and the vacuum of space, it can survive interstellar voyages and can seed itself wherever starlight and water and essential nutrients are to be found. Wherever life goes, our descendants will go with it, helping and guiding and adapting. There will be problems for life to solve in adapting itself to planets of various sizes or to interstellar dust clouds. Our descendants will perhaps learn to grow gardens in stellar winds and in supernova remnants. The one thing that our descendants will not be able to do is to stop the expansion of life once it is well started. The power to control the expansion will be for a short time in our hands, but ultimately life will find its own ways to expand with or without our help. The greening of the galaxy will become an irreversible process. When we are a million species spreading through the galaxy, the question "Can man play God and still stay sane?" will lose some of its terrors. We shall be playing God, but only as local deities and not as lords of the universe. There is safety in numbers. Some of us will become insane, and rule over empires as crazy as Doctor Moreau's island. Some of us will shit on the morning star. There will be conflicts and tragedies. But in the long run, the sane will adapt and survive better than the insane. Nature's pruning of the unfit will limit the spread of insanity among species in the galaxy, as it does among individuals on earth. Sanity is, in its essence, nothing more than the ability to live in harmony with nature's laws. I have told this story of the greening of the galaxy as if it were our destiny to be nature's first attempt at an intelligent creature. If there are other intelligences already at large in the galaxy, the story will be different. The galaxy will become even richer in variety of life styles and cultures. We must only be careful not to let our wave of expansion overwhelm and disrupt the ecologies of our neighbors. Before our expansion beyond the solar system begins, we must explore the galaxy thoroughly with our telescopes, and we must know enough about our neighbors to come to them as friends rather than as invaders. The universe is large enough to provide ample living space for all of us. But if, as seems equally probable, we are alone in our galaxy and have no intelligent neighbors, earth's life is still large enough in potentialities to fill every nook and cranny of the universe. The expansion of life over the universe is a beginning, not an end. At the same time as life is extending its habitat quantitatively, it will also be changing and evolving qualitatively into new dimensions of mind and spirit that we cannot imagine. The acquisition of new territory is important, not as an end in itself, but as a means to enable life to experiment with intelligence in a million different forms. In 1929 the crystallographer Desmond Bernal wrote a little book, The World, the Flesh and the Devil, in which he described the expansion of life into space as one of the chief tasks awaiting mankind. Like me, he was baffled when he tried to imagine what would come afterward. His book ends, as every inquiry into the future must end, with a question: We want the future to be mysterious and full of supernatural power; and yet these very aspirations, so totally removed from the physical world, have built this material civilization and will go on building it into the future so long as there remains any relation between aspiration and action. But can we count on this? Or rather, have we not here the criterion which will decide the direction of human development? We are on the point of being able to see the effects of our actions and their probable consequences in the future; we hold the future still timidly, but perceive it for the first time, as a function of our own action. Having seen it, are we to turn away from something that offends the very nature of our earliest desires, or is the recognition of our new powers sufficient to change those desires into the service of the future which they will have to bring about? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti The Argument from Design Professional scientists today live under a taboo against mixing science and religion. This was not always so. When Thomas Wright, the discoverer of galaxies, announced his discovery in 1750 in his book An Original Theory or New Hypothesis of the Universe, he was not afraid to use a theological argument to support an astronomical theory: Since as the Creation is, so is the Creator also magnified, we may conclude in consequence of an infinity, and an infinite all-active power, that as the visible creation is supposed to be full of siderial systems and planetary worlds, so on, in like similar manner, the endless immensity is an unlimited plenum of creations not unlike the known universe.... That this in all probability may be the real case, is in some degree made evident by the many cloudy spots, just perceivable by us, as far without our starry Regions, in which tho' visibly luminous spaces, no one star or particular constituent body can possibly be distinguished; those in all likelyhood may be external creation, bordering upon the known one, too remote for even our telescopes to reach. Thirty-five years later, Wright's speculations were confirmed by William Herschel's precise observations. Wright also computed the number of habitable worlds in our galaxy: In all together then we may safely reckon 170,000,000, and yet be much within compass, exclusive of the comets which I judge to be by far the most numerous part of the creation. His statement about the comets is also correct, although he does not tell us how he estimated their number. For him the existence of so many habitable worlds was not just a scientific hypothesis but a cause for moral reflection: In this great celestial creation, the catastrophy of a world, such as ours, or even the total dissolution of a system of worlds, may possibly be no more to the great Author of Nature, than the most common accident in life with us, and in all probability such final and general Doomsdays may be as frequent there, as even Birthdays or mortality with us upon the earth. This idea has something so chearful in it, that I own I can never look upon the stars without wondering why the whole world does not become astronomers; and that men endowed with sense and reason should neglect a science they are naturally so much interested in, and so capable of inlarging the understanding, as next to a demonstration must convince them of their immortality, and reconcile them to all those little difficulties incident to human nature, without the least anxiety. All this the vast apparent provision in the starry mansions seem to promise: What ought we then not to do, to preserve our natural birthright to it and to merit such inheritance, which alas we think created all to gratify alone a race of vain-glorious gigantic beings, while they are confined to this world, chained like so many atoms to a grain of sand. There speaks the eighteenth century. Now listen to the twentieth, speaking through the voices of the biologist Jacques Monod: "Any mingling of knowledge with values is unlawful, forbidden," and of the physicist Steven Weinberg: "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless." If Monod and Weinberg are truly speaking for the twentieth century, then I prefer the eighteenth. But in fact Monod and Weinberg, both of them first-rate scientists and leaders of research in their specialties, are expressing a point of view which does not take into account the subtleties and ambiguities of twentieth-century physics. The roots of their philosophical attitudes lie in the nineteenth century, not in the twentieth. The taboo against mixing knowledge with values arose during the nineteenth century out of the great battle between the evolutionary biologists led by Thomas Huxley and the churchmen led by Bishop Wilberforce. Huxley won the battle, but a hundred years later Monod and Weinberg were still fighting the ghost of Bishop Wilberforce. The nineteenth-century battle revolved around the validity of an old argument for the existence of God, the argument from design. The argument from design says simply that the existence of a watch implies the existence of a watchmaker. Thomas Wright accepted this argument as valid in the astronomical domain. Until the nineteenth century, churchmen and scientists agreed that it was also valid in the domain of biology. The penguin's flipper, the nest-building instinct of the swallow, the eye of the hawk, all declare, like the stars and the planets in Addison's eighteenth-century hymn, "The hand that made us is divine." Then came Darwin and Huxley, claiming that the penguin and the swallow and the hawk could be explained by the process of natural selection operating on random hereditary variations over long periods of time. If Darwin and Huxley were right, the argument from design was demolished. Bishop Wilberforce despised the biologists, regarding them as irresponsible destroyers of faith, and fought them with personal ridicule. In public debate he asked Huxley whether he was descended from a monkey on his grandfather's or on his grandmother's side. The biologists never forgave him and never forgot him. The battle left scars which are still not healed. Looking back on the battle a century later, we can see that Darwin and Huxley were right. The discovery of the structure and function of DNA has made clear the nature of the hereditary variations upon which natural selection operates. The fact that DNA patterns remain stable for millions of years, but are still occasionally variable, is explained as a consequence of the laws of chemistry and physics. There is no reason why natural selection operating on these patterns, in a species of bird that has acquired a taste for eating fish, should not produce a penguin's flipper. Chance variations, selected by the perpetual struggle to survive, can do the work of the designer. So far as the biologists are concerned, the argument from design is dead. They won their battle. But unfortunately, in the bitterness of their victory over their clerical opponents, they have made the meaninglessness of the universe into a new dogma. Monod states this dogma with his customary sharpness: The cornerstone of the scientific method is the postulate that nature is objective. In other words, the systematic denial that true knowledge can be got at by interpreting phenomena in terms of final causes, that is to say, of purpose. Here is a definition of the scientific method that would exclude Thomas Wright from science altogether. It would also exclude some of the most lively areas of modern physics and cosmology. It is easy to understand how some modern molecular biologists have come to accept a narrow definition of scientific knowledge. Their tremendous successes were achieved by reducing the complex behavior of living creatures to the simpler behavior of the molecules out of which the creatures are built. Their whole field of science is based on the reduction of the complex to the simple, reduction of the apparently purposeful movements of an organism to purely mechanical movements of its constituent parts. To the molecular biologist, a cell is a chemical machine, and the protein and nucleic acid molecules that control its behavior are little bits of clockwork, existing in well-defined states and reacting to their environment by changing from one state to another. Every student of molecular biology learns his trade by playing with models built of plastic balls and pegs. These models are an indispensable tool for detailed study of the structure and function of nucleic acids and enzymes. They are, for practical purposes, a useful visualization of the molecules out of which we are built. But from the point of view of a physicist, the models belong to the nineteenth century. Every physicist knows that atoms are not really little hard balls. While the molecular biologists were using these mechanical models to make their spectacular discoveries, physics was moving in a quite different direction. For the biologists, every step down in size was a step toward increasingly simple and mechanical behavior. A bacterium is more mechanical than a frog, and a DNA molecule is more mechanical than a bacterium. But twentieth-century physics has shown that further reductions in size have an opposite effect. If we divide a DNA molecule into its component atoms, the atoms behave less mechanically than the molecule. If we divide an atom into nucleus and electrons, the electrons are less mechanical than the atom. There is a famous experiment, originally suggested by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen in 1935 as a thought experiment to illustrate the difficulties of quantum theory, which demonstrates that the notion of an electron existing in an objective state independent of the experimenter is untenable. The experiment has been done in various ways with various kinds of particles, and the results show clearly that the state of a particle has a meaning only when a precise procedure for observing the state is prescribed. Among physicists there are many different philosophical viewpoints, and many different ways of interpreting the role of the observer in the description of subatomic processes. But all physicists agree with the experimental facts which make it hopeless to look for a description independent of the mode of observation. When we are dealing with things as small as atoms and electrons, the observer or experimenter cannot be excluded from the description of nature. In this domain, Monod's dogma, "The cornerstone of the scientific method is the postulate that nature is objective," turns out to be untrue. If we deny Monod's postulate, this does not mean that we deny the achievements of molecular biology or support the doctrines of Bishop Wilberforce. We are not saying that chance and the mechanical rearrangement of molecules cannot turn ape into man. We are saying only that if as physicists we try to observe in the finest detail the behavior of a single molecule, the meaning of the words "chance" and "mechanical" will depend upon the way we make our observations. The laws of subatomic physics cannot even be formulated without some reference to the observer. "Chance" cannot be defined except as a measure of the observer's ignorance of the future. The laws leave a place for mind in the description of every molecule. It is remarkable that mind enters into our awareness of nature on two separate levels. At the highest level, the level of human consciousness, our minds are somehow directly aware of the complicated flow of electrical and chemical patterns in our brains. At the lowest level, the level of single atoms and electrons, the mind of an observer is again involved in the description of events. Between lies the level of molecular biology, where mechanical models are adequate and mind appears to be irrelevant. But I, as a physicist, cannot help suspecting that there is a logical connection between the two ways in which mind appears in my universe. I cannot help thinking that our awareness of our own brains has something to do with the process which we call "observation" in atomic physics. That is to say, I think our consciousness is not just a passive epiphenomenon carried along by the chemical events in our brains, but is an active agent forcing the molecular complexes to make choices between one quantum state and another. In other words, mind is already inherent in every electron, and the processes of human consciousness differ only in degree but not in kind from the processes of choice between quantum states which we call "chance" when they are made by electrons. Jacques Monod has a word for people who think as I do and for whom he reserves his deepest scorn. He calls us "animists," believers in spirits. "Animism," he says, "established a covenant between nature and man, a profound alliance outside of which seems to stretch only terrifying solitude. Must we break this tie because the postulate of objectivity requires it?" Monod answers yes: "The ancient covenant is in pieces; man knows at last that he is alone in the universe's unfeeling immensity, out of which he emerged only by chance." I answer no. I believe in the covenant. It is true that we emerged in the universe by chance, but the idea of chance is itself only a cover for our ignorance. I do not feel like an alien in this universe. The more I examine the universe and study the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known that we were coming. There are some striking examples in the laws of nuclear physics of numerical accidents that seem to conspire to make the universe habitable. The strength of the attractive nuclear forces is just sufficient to overcome the electrical repulsion between the positive charges in the nuclei of ordinary atoms such as oxygen or iron. But the nuclear forces are not quite strong enough to bind together two protons (hydrogen nuclei) into a bound system which would be called a diproton if it existed. If the nuclear forces had been slightly stronger than they are, the diproton would exist and almost all the hydrogen in the universe would have been combined into diprotons and heavier nuclei. Hydrogen would be a rare element, and stars like the sun, which live for a long time by the slow burning of hydrogen in their cores, could not exist. On the other hand, if the nuclear forces had been substantially weaker than they are, hydrogen could not burn at all and there would be no heavy elements. If, as seems likely, the evolution of life requires a star like the sun, supplying energy at a constant rate for billions of years, then the strength of nuclear forces had to lie within a rather narrow range to make life possible. A similar but independent numerical accident appears in connection with the weak interaction by which hydrogen actually burns in the sun. The weak interaction is millions of times weaker than the nuclear force. It is just weak enough so that the hydrogen in the sun burns at a slow and steady rate. If the weak interaction were much stronger or much weaker, any forms of life dependent on sunlike stars would again be in difficulties. The facts of astronomy include some other numerical accidents that work to our advantage. For example, the universe is built on such a scale that the average distance between stars in an average galaxy like ours is about twenty million million miles, an extravagantly large distance by human standards. If a scientist asserts that the stars at these immense distances have a decisive effect on the possibility of human existence, he will be suspected of being a believer in astrology. But it happens to be true that we could not have survived if the average distance between stars were only two million million miles instead of twenty. If the distances had been smaller by a factor of ten, there would have been a high probability that another star, at some time during the four billion years that the earth has existed, would have passed by the sun close enough to disrupt with its gravitational field the orbits of the planets. To destroy life on earth, it would not be necessary to pull the earth out of the solar system. It would be sufficient to pull the earth into a moderately eccentric elliptical orbit. All the rich diversity of organic chemistry depends on a delicate balance between electrical and quantum-mechanical forces. The balance exists only because the laws of physics include an "exclusion principle" which forbids two electrons to occupy the same state. If the laws were changed so that electrons no longer excluded each other, none of our essential chemistry would survive. There are many other lucky accidents in atomic physics. Without such accidents, water could not exist as a liquid, chains of carbon atoms could not form complex organic molecules, and hydrogen atoms could not form breakable bridges between molecules. I conclude from the existence of these accidents of physics and astronomy that the universe is an unexpectedly hospitable place for living creatures to make their home in. Being a scientist, trained in the habits of thought and language of the twentieth century rather than the eighteenth, I do not claim that the architecture of the universe proves the existence of God. I claim only that the architecture of the universe is consistent with the hypothesis that mind plays an essential role in its functioning. We had earlier found two levels on which mind manifests itself in the description of nature. On the level of subatomic physics, the observer is inextricably involved in the definition of the objects of his observations. On the level of direct human experience, we are aware of our own minds, and we find it convenient to believe that other human beings and animals have minds not altogether unlike our own. Now we have found a third level to add to these two. The peculiar harmony between the structure of the universe and the needs of life and intelligence is a third manifestation of the importance of mind in the scheme of things. This is as far as we can go as scientists. We have evidence that mind is important on three levels. We have no evidence for any deeper unifying hypothesis that would tie these three levels together. As individuals, some of us may be willing to go further. Some of us may be willing to entertain the hypothesis that there exists a universal mind or world soul which underlies the manifestations of mind that we observe. If we take this hypothesis seriously, we are, according to Monod's definition, animists. The existence of a world soul is a question that belongs to religion and not to science. When my mother was past eighty-five, she could no longer walk as she once did. She was restricted to short outings close to her home. Her favorite walk in those years was to a nearby graveyard which commands a fine view of the ancient city of Winchester and the encircling hills. Here I often walked with her and listened to her talk cheerfully of her approaching death. Sometimes, contemplating the stupidities of mankind, she became rather fierce. "When I look at this world now," she said once, "it looks to me like an anthill with too many ants scurrying around. I think perhaps the best thing would be to do away with it altogether." I protested, and she laughed. No, she said, no matter how enraged she was with the ants, she would never be able to do away with the anthill. She found it far too interesting. Sometimes we talked about the nature of the human soul and about the Cosmic Unity of all souls that I had believed in so firmly when I was fifteen years old. My mother did not like the phrase Cosmic Unity. It was too pretentious. She preferred to call it a world soul. She imagined that she was herself a piece of the world soul that had been given freedom to grow and develop independently so long as she was alive. After death, she expected to merge back into the world soul, losing her personal identity but preserving her memories and her intelligence. Whatever knowledge and wisdom she had acquired during her life would add to the world soul's store of knowledge and wisdom. "But how do you know that the world soul will want you back?" I said. "Perhaps, after all these years, the world soul will find you too tough and indigestible and won't want to merge with you." "Don't worry about that," my mother replied. "It may take a little while, but I'll find my way back. The world soul can do with a bit more brains." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti The Redemption of Faust A year before the beginning of the Second World War, I got hold of a copy of Piaggio's Differential Equations. This did not come from my teachers. At that time I had never been near a university or a technical library. My door to knowledge was a little handwritten letter which I sent to various book publishers: "Dear Sirs, Please would you send to the above address a catalog of your scientific publications. Yours faithfully." Sure enough, within a few days the catalog would arrive. The most exciting catalogs came from the Cambridge University Press. They had long lists of books resulting from the Challenger expedition of 1872-76. The voyage of H.M.S. Challenger was the first worldwide scientific exploration of the oceans, and that one little ship brought back such a wealth of material that they were still selling books about it in 1938. I wondered vaguely whether there might not one day be another such voyage, and whether I might not have a chance to sail on it. But the Challenger volumes were far too expensive for me to buy, and so my career as an oceanographer ended before it began. Mathematics was cheaper. I had read some of the popular literature about Einstein and relativity, and had found it very unsatisfying. Always when I thought I was getting close to the heart of the matter, the author would say, "But if you really want to understand Einstein you have to understand differential equations," or words to that effect. I did not have a clear idea of what a differential equation was, but I knew it was Einstein's language and I had to learn it. So it was a day of great joy when a skimpy catalog arrived from G. Bell and Sons Limited, containing the item Differential Equations, by H. T. H. Piaggio, twelve shillings and sixpence. I had never heard of Piaggio, but twelve and six was within my range, and I went at once to the bookshop to put in my order. In due course the book arrived, rather small and modestly bound in light-blue cloth. I was too busy during the school term to give my attention to it, so I saved it for the Christmas vacation. My school vacations were mostly spent at a cottage on the shore which my father had bought as a holiday home. He was a musician. He worked for many years as music teacher in the same school which I attended as a boy in Winchester. He enjoyed the life of a school teacher, with three months vacation a year and plenty of time left free for conducting and composing even during the school terms. His best-known work is "The Canterbury Pilgrims," a setting of the Prologue of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales for solo voices, chorus and orchestra. It was first performed at Winchester when I was seven years old. It is dedicated "to M.L.D., who prepared the words." That is my mother, who shared with him an intense affection for Chaucer and for the characters that Chaucer immortalized. We often encountered modern reincarnations of one or another of Chaucer's pilgrims. Then my parents would exchange glances, my mother would whisper a line of Chaucer, or my father would quietly hum the appropriate tune. The well-fed clergy of Winchester would remind them of Chaucer's Monk: He was a lord full fat and in great point; His eyes were bright and rolling in his head, That gleamed like a fire beneath a pot. A doctor driving a Rolls-Royce along our street would suggest Chaucer's Doctor of Physic: He kept all that he won in pestilence. For gold in physic is a cordial, Therefore he loved gold in special. The sights and sounds of the English countryside would call to mind Chaucer's descriptions of it: And small birds make melody That sleep all night with open eye, So worketh nature in their hearts. In vacation time, when we were at the cottage, my father regularly composed for three hours every morning. In the afternoons he loved to potter around and improve his forty acres of waterlogged land. The land could do with a great deal of improving, since it lay below sea level on the south coast of England and had been repeatedly flooded with salt water. We were supposed to maintain our section of the dike which kept the sea out. The land was drained by a system of ditches which flowed into bunnies. A bunny was a pipe laid under the dike, with a wooden clapper which opened to let water out from land to sea at low tide and closed to keep the sea from coming in at high tide. The bunnies were my father's pride and joy. He was never happier than when he was standing waist deep in cold black mud to excavate a clogged bunny. When the bunnies were working smoothly he would excavate the ditches. Only one thing was missing. To make his happiness complete he would have liked to have his growing son out there with him in the mud to give him help and companionship. My idea of a joyful Christmas vacation was different. I arrived at the cottage on the coast with my precious Piaggio and did not intend to be parted from him. I soon discovered that Piaggio's book was ideally suited to a solitary student. It was a serious book, and went rapidly enough ahead into advanced territory. But unlike most advanced texts, it was liberally sprinkled with "Examples for Solution." There were more than seven hundred of these problems. The difference between a text without problems and a text with problems is like the difference between learning to read a language and learning to speak it. I intended to speak the language of Einstein, and so I worked my way through the problems. I started at six in the morning and stopped at ten in the evening, with short breaks for meals. I averaged fourteen hours a day. Never have I enjoyed a vacation more. After a while my parents became worried. My mother looked sadly at me and quoted from Chaucer's Clerk of Oxenford: Of study took he most care and most heed, Not a word spake he more than was need. She warned me that I would ruin my health and burn out my brains if I went on like this. My father begged me, just for a few hours, to stop calculating and help him with his ditches. But their entreaties only made me more stubborn. I was in love with mathematics, and nothing else mattered. I was also acutely aware of the approaching war. We did not then know that it was our last peacetime Christmas, but we could all see the war coming. I knew what had happened to the English boys who were fifteen at the start of the First World War and arrived in the trenches in 1917 and 1918. In all probability I had not many years to live, and every hour spent not doing mathematics was a tragic waste. How could my father be so blind as to wish to ruin my few remaining days on earth with his dull ditches? I looked on his blindness more in sorrow than in anger. In those days my head was full of the romantic prose of E. T. Bell's book Men of Mathematics, a collection of biographies of the great mathematicians. This is a splendid book for a young boy to read (unfortunately, there is not much in it to inspire a girl, with Sonya Kowalewska allotted only half a chapter), and it has awoken many people of my generation to the beauties of mathematics. The most memorable chapter is called "Genius and Stupidity" and describes the life and death of the French mathematician Galois, who was killed in a duel at the age of twenty. In spite of all the sentimental mush that has been written about him, he was a genuine genius and his death was a genuine tragedy. Galois groups and Galois fields are still after 140 years a living part of mathematics. E. T. Bell describes the last night before the fatal duel: "All night he had spent the fleeting hours feverishly dashing off his scientific last will and testament, writing against time to glean a few of the great things in his teeming mind before the death which he foresaw could overtake him. Time after time he broke off to scribble in the margin 'I have not time; I have not time,' and passed on to the next frantically scrawled outline. What he wrote in those desperate last hours before the dawn will keep generations of mathematicians busy for hundreds of years. He had found, once and for all, the true solution of a riddle which had tormented mathematicians for centuries: under what conditions can an equation be solved?" These words added a touch of noble pathos to the long hours that I was spending with Piaggio. If I was destined to die at the age of nineteen, like so many of the junior officers of the First World War, then I would have one year less than Galois. Our Christmas vacation lasted a full month. Before it was over I was coming near to the end of Piaggio's seven hundred examples. I began to skip a few of them. I was even willing to set aside an hour or two to take a walk with my mother. My mother had been waiting a long time for a chance to talk to me. She was well prepared. So a few days before the end of vacation we went out together. My mother was a lawyer by profession and intensely interested in people. She loved the Latin and Greek poets. She began her lecture with a quotation from the play The Self-Tormentor by the African slave Terentius Afer, who became the greatest Latin playwright: "Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto. " "I am human and I let nothing human be alien to me." This was the creed by which she lived a long and full life until she died at the age of ninety-four. She told me then, as we walked along the dike between the mud and the open water, that this should also be my creed. She understood my impatience, and my passion for the abstract beauties of Piaggio. But she begged me not to lose my humanity in my haste to become a mathematician. You will regret it deeply, she said, when one day you are a great scientist and you wake up to find that you have never had time to make friends. What good will it do you to prove the Riemann hypothesis, if you have no wife and no children to share your triumph? You will find even mathematics itself will grow stale and bitter if that is the only thing you are interested in. I listened to all this carelessly, knowing that I had no use for it yet but could come back to it later. After my mother had finished with Terence the African, she began again with Goethe's Faust. She told me the story of Faust from Goethe's First Part. How Faust works day and night at his books, consumed by the ambition to know everything and command the forces of nature. How he becomes more and more self-centered and more and more dissatisfied. How he goes altogether to the bad and loses his soul to the Devil in exchange for knowledge and power. How his attempt to find happiness with Gretchen leads only to misery and tragedy, since he is incapable of unselfish love and can only compel her to love him on his own terms. Some years later when the film Citizen Kane came over from America and I went to see it, I suddenly found myself in tears and realized it was because Orson Welles's artistry made my mother's image of Faust come alive again. Kane and Faust, Faust and Kane and I, each of us damned to eternal friendlessness by our selfish ambitions. But my mother did not leave me comfortless. She went on to talk at length about Faust Part Two, the work of Goethe's old age, in which Faust is finally redeemed. It is agreed between the heavenly and infernal powers that Faust will be redeemed if he can ever find a moment of true happiness in which his soul is at peace with itself. Through many tedious pages of verse he searches in vain for the blissful moment. He meets with Helen of Troy and various other mythological personages, tries his hand as a general in command of an army, but finds no satisfaction in it. In the end, when he is old and blind, he comes to a Dutch village where the whole population is engaged in a desperate struggle to defend their land against the sea. The people of the village are out at the dike, digging and pumping, working together with all their might against the common danger. Faust joins them and throws himself into the work without a thought for his frail condition. Suddenly he realizes that this is the blissful moment that he has been seeking all his life, the joy of working together with his fellow men in a common endeavor, the joy of being immersed in a cause larger than himself. So he dies redeemed and is carried off to heaven by an angelic choir. Afterward when I happened once to read the closing pages of Faust Part Two, I was surprised to find that this vividly remembered scene of the Dutch villagers at the dike owes more to my mother's imagination than to Goethe. What Goethe wrote is only a pale shadow of it. It is a pity Goethe never heard her version of the story. So my road to redemption was clear. Down to the ditches with my father. Grudgingly, I joined him in the mud for one afternoon. No angels came to waft me to heaven. After the vacation was over, I went back to school, quickly finished Piaggio and was ready to begin on Einstein. Unfortunately, none of my book catalogs offered anything written by Einstein, and for a while I was stuck. I ordered from the Cambridge University Press Eddington's Mathematical Theory of Relativity and made do with that. After Piaggio it went quite easily. Meanwhile my mother's words of wisdom were slowly sinking into the subconscious levels of my mind and preparing fresh surprises for me. I agreed with her in theory when she said that human solidarity and companionship were the essential ingredients of a satisfactory life. But in practice, for the time being, I saw little that I could do about it. Like everybody else at that time, I worried a great deal about the approaching war. I was not concerned about winning it or losing it. It seemed then that there was equally small chance that anything worth preserving would survive the war, whether we won it or lost it. The war was for me an unconditional evil. I was concerned only to do whatever I could to stop it from beginning. And the only way to stop it was to change the hearts and minds of the warmakers on both sides. It was clear that only a radical change in their way of thinking could do the job. I tried hard to understand the deeper causes of the hatreds that were driving us to war. I concluded that the basic cause of war was injustice. If all men had a fair share of the world's goods, if all of us were given an equal chance in the game of life, then there would be no hatred and no war. So I asked myself the age-old questions, why does God permit war, and why does God permit injustice, and I found no answers. The problem of injustice seemed to me even more intractable than the problem of war. I was gifted with brains, good health, books, education, a loving family, not to mention food, clothing and shelter. How could I imagine a world in which the Welsh coal miner's son and the Indian peasant would be as lucky as I was? Enlightenment came to me suddenly and unexpectedly one afternoon in March when I was walking up to the school notice board to see whether my name was on the list for tomorrow's football game. I was not on the list. And in a blinding flash of inner light I saw the answer to both my problems, the problem of war and the problem of injustice. The answer was amazingly simple. I called it Cosmic Unity. Cosmic Unity said: There is only one of us. We are all the same person. I am you and I am Winston Churchill and Hitler and Gandhi and everybody. There is no problem of injustice because your sufferings are also mine. There will be no problem of war as soon as you understand that in killing me you are only killing yourself. For some days I quietly worked out in my own mind the metaphysics of Cosmic Unity. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that it was the living truth. It was logically incontrovertible. It provided for the first time a firm foundation for ethics. It offered mankind the radical change of heart and mind that was our only hope of peace at a time of desperate danger. Only one small problem remained. I must find a way to convert the world to my way of thinking. The work of conversion began slowly. I am not a good preacher. After I had expounded the new faith two or three times to my friends at school, I found it difficult to hold their attention. They were not anxious to hear more about it. They had a tendency to run away when they saw me coming. They were good-natured boys, and generally tolerant of eccentricity, but they were repelled by my tone of moral earnestness. When I preached at them I sounded too much like the headmaster. So in the end I made only two converts, one whole hearted and one half-hearted. Even the whole-hearted convert did not share in the work of preaching. He liked to keep his beliefs to himself. I, too, began to suspect that I lacked some of the essential qualities of a religious leader. Relativity was more in my line. After a few months I gave up trying to make converts. When some friend would come up to me and say cheerfully, "How's cosmajoonity doing today?" I would just answer, "Fine, thank you," and let it go at that. In the summer vacation I made one last attempt at a conversion. I asked my mother to come out for another walk along the dike and I laid before her my message of hope and glory. She was obviously very happy to see that I had discovered there are more things in heaven and earth than differential equations. She smiled at me and said very little. After I had finished talking I asked her what she thought about it all. She answered slowly, "Yes. I have believed something rather like that for a very long time." LOL.

Pilgrims, Saints and Spacemen 11. Pilgrims, Saints and Spacemen Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony, President Brigham Young of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and my friend Professor Gerard O'Neill of the Princeton University physics department have much in common. Each of the three is a man of vision. Each believes passionately in the ability of ordinary men and women to go out into the wilderness and build there a society better than the one they left behind. Each has written a book to record for posterity his vision and his struggles. Each has his feet firmly on the ground in the real world of politics and finance. Each is acutely aware of the importance of dollars and cents, or pounds and shillings, in making his dreams come true. The histories of Bradford and Young were not printed during their lifetimes but were left in manuscript form for the guidance of their followers. Bradford's manuscript was published two centuries later under the title History of Plymouth Plantation. Young's manuscript is quoted extensively, but not in full, in the official history of the Mormon church. O'Neill's book, The High Frontier, fortunately did not have to wait for posthumous publication. The human and economic problems that the space colonists of tomorrow will face are not essentially different from the problems faced by Bradford in 1620 and by Young in 1847. Unfortunately, the extravagant style and exorbitant costs of the Apollo expeditions to the moon have created in the minds of the public the impression that any human activities in space must necessarily cost tens of billions of dollars. I believe this impression to be fundamentally mistaken. If we reject the style of Apollo and follow the style of the Mayflower and the Mormons, we shall find the costs of space colonization coming down to a reasonable level. By a reasonable level of costs I mean a sum of money comparable to the sums which the Pilgrims and the Mormons successfully raised. Bradford and Young provide abundant documentation of the difficulties they faced in raising funds. Bradford emphasizes in his book that the toughest problem in the whole venture of colonization was to define a set of objectives upon which the brethren could agree: But as in all businesses the acting part is most difficult, especially where the work of many agents must concur, so was it found in this. For some of those that should have gone in England fell off and would not go; other merchants and friends that had offered to adventure their moneys withdrew and pretended many excuses; some disliking they went not to Guiana; others again would adventure nothing except they went to Virginia. Some again (and those that were most relied on) fell in utter dislike of Virginia and would do nothing if they went thither. Without agreement upon objectives, the task of fund raising becomes impossible. This is a fact of life which remains as true today as it was in 1620. Bradford and Young devote more pages of their histories to the preliminary battles over objectives and finance than they devote to the description of their voyages. For both of them, it came as a blessed relief when the miseries of indecision were over, the expeditions were ready to go, and they were finally able to turn their attention away from political and financial matters to the simpler problems of physical survival. Here is Young writing from his winter quarters in February 1847, six weeks before starting his journey across the plains: I feel like a father with a great family of children around me, in a winter storm, and I am looking with calmness, confidence and patience, for the clouds to break and the sun to shine, so that I can run out and plant and sow and gather in the corn and wheat and say, children, come home, winter is approaching again and I have homes and wood and flour and meal and meat and potatoes and squashes and onions and cabbages and all things in abundance, and I am ready to kill the fatted calf and make a joyful feast to all who will come and partake. We have done all we could here and are satisfied it will be all right in the end. But I must come back from these idyllic sentiments to questions of dollars and cents. Two years earlier, Young reported: For an outfit that every family of five persons would require: one good wagon, three yoke of cattle, two cows, two beef cattle, three sheep, one thousand pounds of flour, twenty pounds of sugar, one rifle and ammunition, a tent and tent-poles--the cost would be about $250 provided the family had nothing to begin with, only bedding and cooking utensils, and the weight would be about twenty-seven hundred [pounds] including the family. The arts were also included in Young's budget. On November 1, 1845, he paid $150 to purchase instruments for the brass band. This was a wise investment, for the band Was sometimes invited to give concerts at villages near to the line of march, which did much to change the feelings of hostility which occasionally was manifested in such places. Thus this band proved a very great benefit to the marching column, besides cheering the spirit of the pilgrims. The actual numbers that crossed the plains with Young were: 1,891 souls, 623 wagons, 131 horses, 44 mules, 2,012 oxen, 983 cows, 334 loose cattle, 654 sheep, 237 pigs, 904 chickens. So we can estimate the total payload of Young's expedition to be 3,500 tons, mainly consisting of animals on the hoof, and the total cost to be $150,000 in 1847 dollars. Bradford unfortunately does not provide such an exact accounting for the Mayflower. He quotes a letter from Robert Cushman, dated June 10, 1620, in London, two months before the sailing. Cushman was one of the people in charge of provisioning for the voyage: Loving Friend, I have received from you some letters, full of affection and complaints, and what it is you would have of me I know not; for your crying out, "Negligence, negligence, negligence," I marvel why so negligent a man was used in the business.--Counting upon 150 persons, there cannot be found above 1200 and odd moneys of all the ventures you can reckon, besides some cloth, stockings and shoes which are not counted, so we shall come short at least 300 or 400. I would have had something shortened at first of beer and other provisions, in hope of other adventures; and now we could, both in Amsterdam and Kent, have beer enough to serve our turn, but now we cannot accept it without prejudice--500 you say will serve; for the rest which here and in Holland is to be used, we may go scratch for it. --Think the best of all and bear with patience what is wanting, and the Lord guide us all. Your loving friend, Robert Cushman This letter shows that Cushman was personally responsible for meeting expenses to the tune of 1500. It does not say whether all the expenses, and in particular the rental fee for the Mayflower, were included in this figure. Three weeks later, on July 1, 1620, an agreement was signed between the Planters and the Adventurers. The Planters were the colonists. The Adventurers were the shareholders who invested money in the enterprise and stayed at home. The agreement stipulated "that at the end of the seven years, the capital and profits, viz. the houses, lands, goods and chattels, be divided equally betwixt the Adventurers and Planters." Another clause of the agreement gave one share to each of the Planters as a bonus for their seven years of hard labor: "Every person that goeth being aged 16 years and upward be rated at 10, and 10 to be accounted a single share." Any cash that the Planters contributed would entitle them to additional shares. The 1620 agreement proved unsatisfactory to both sides and caused constant friction. In 1626, a year before the planned division of assets, the whole matter was renegotiated and a new agreement was signed, "drawn by the best counsel of law they could get, to make it firm." The 1626 agreement stipulated that the Adventurers sell to the Planters, "in consideration of the sum of one thousand and eight hundred pounds sterling to be paid in manner and form following, --all and every the stocks, shares, lands, merchandise and chattels-- any way accruing or belonging to the generality of the said Adventurers aforesaid." Having bought out the Adventurers' shares, the Planters were left with a debt of 1800, which they finally succeeded in paying off twenty-two years later. I do not know how much profit or loss the Adventurers took in the 1626 settlement. I also do not know how large a fraction of the original cost of the expedition was paid by the Planters. As to the first point, it is unlikely that the Adventurers took a loss, for the colony was not bankrupt in 1626 and the Adventurers were not in the habit of lending their money for nothing. As to the second point, it is unlikely that the Planters paid as much as half of the original costs. If they had been in a position to pay half, they would probably have managed to squeeze the expenses down to such a point that they could do without the Adventurers altogether and avoid the innumerable headaches that the partnership brought with it. I therefore conclude from the evidence of the 1626 settlement that 3600 is a safe upper limit to the original cost of renting and provisioning the Mayflower. The evidence of the Cushman letter implies a lower limit of 1500. I shall adopt 2500 as my estimate of the cost of the expedition in 1620 pounds. This figure can hardly be wrong by a factor of two either way. The payload of the Mayflower is stated explicitly by Bradford. It was 180 tons. My next problem is to convert the 1620 and 1847 cost figures into their modern equivalents. A good source of information about the history of wages and prices in England is the work of Ernest Phelps Brown and Sheila Hopkins, published in two articles in the journal Economica and reprinted in a series called Essays in Economic History, put out by the Economic History Society. The first article deals with wages, the second with prices. It is a question of taste whether one prefers to use wages or prices as the basis for comparing costs between different centuries. If we use wages, we are saying that an hour of a workingman's time in 1620 is equivalent to an hour in 1979. If we use prices, we are saying that a pound of butter in 1620 is equivalent to a pound of butter today. My personal opinion is that wages give a truer standard of comparison than prices. My purpose in making the comparison is to try to define in a roughly quantitative fashion the size of the human efforts that the Mayflower and the Mormon expeditions demanded. According to Phelps Brown and Hopkins, the wages of workers in the building trade in 1620 were in the range from 8 to 12 pence per day. In 1847 the range was from 33 to 49 pence. For the modern equivalent of these numbers I take the minimum rate of $9.63 per hour imposed by building trade union contracts in New York in 1975. The exchange rates on the basis of wages are then: 1 (1620) equals $2500 (1975) $1 (1847) equals $100 (1975) These are very approximate numbers. A rough check on the numbers for 1620 is provided by the fact, already mentioned, that each Planter received a credit of 10 for going to Plymouth and working for the community for seven years without wages. The estimated total costs in 1975 dollars are then 6 million for the Mayflower and 15 million for the Mormons. On this basis I have drawn up the first two columns of Table I. The point I am trying to emphasize with these numbers is that both the Mayflower and Mor mon expeditions were extremely expensive operations. In their time, each of them stretched the limits of what a group of private people without governmental support could accomplish. The numbers in the bottom row of Table I give an estimate of the number of years an average wage earner would have had to save his entire income to pay the passage for his family. Although the average Mormon family was twice as large as the average Mayflower family, the cost in man-years per family was three times as large for the Mayflower as it was for the Mormons. This difference had a decisive effect on the financing of the colonies. An average person, with single-minded dedication to a cause and with a little help from his friends, can save two or three times his annual income. An average person with a family to feed, no matter how dedicated he may be, cannot save seven times his income. So the Mormons were able to pay their way, while the Planters on the Mayflower were forced to borrow heavily from the Adventurers and to run up debts which took twenty-two years to pay off. Somewhere between two and seven man-years per family comes the breaking point, beyond which simple do-it-yourself financing by ordinary people becomes impossible. TABLE I Comparison of Four Expeditions ( Cost exchange rates based on building trade wages) ( M means millions) Expedition Mayflower Mormons Island One L5 Colony Homesteading the Asteroids Date 1620 1847 1990+ 2000+ Number of People 103 1891 10000 23 Payload (tons) 180 3500 3.6M 50 Payload (tons) per person 1.8 2 360 2 Cost (1975 dollars) $6M $15M $96000M $1M Cost per pound (1975 dollars) $15 $2 $13 $10 Cost in man-years per family 7.5 2.5 1500 6 I said nothing yet about the last two columns in my table. These represent two contrasting styles of space colonization, both taken from O'Neill's book, with some changes for which I am responsible. Column 3 comes from O'Neill's Chapter 8, which he entitles "The First New World," describing space colonization organized by the American government in the official NASA style. Column 4 comes from O'Neill's Chapter 11, with the title "Homesteading the Asteroids," in which he describes space colonization done in the Mayflower style by a bunch of enthusiastic amateurs. The cost of the "Island One" project is $96 billion. Many people, myself included, feel that $96 billion is a preposterously large amount of money to spend on any single enterprise. But still we have to take this number seriously. It was arrived at by a group of competent engineers and accountants familiar with the ways of the government and the aerospace industry. It is probably the most accurate of all the cost estimates that I have included in Table I. For this $96 billion you can buy a great deal of hardware. You can buy a complete floating city to house and support ten thousand people with all modern conveniences at the magic point L5, which is just as far from the earth and from the moon as these bodies are from each other. You can buy enough synthetic farmland to make a closed ecological system which supplies the colonists with food and water and air. You can buy a spaceborne factory in which the colonists manufacture solar power stations to transmit huge amounts of energy in the form of microwave beams to receivers on the earth. All these things may one day come to pass. It may well be true, as O'Neill claims, that the investment of $96 billion will be repaid in twenty-four years out of the profits accruing from the sale of electricity. If the debt could be paid off in twenty-four years, that would be almost as quick as the Mayflower Planters could do it. But there is one inescapable difference between Island One and the Mayflower. The bottom row of Table I shows that the Island One colonist would have to work for 1500 years to pay his family's share of the costs. This means that Island One cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered as a private adventure. It must inevitably be a government project, with bureaucratic management, with national prestige at stake, and with occupational health and safety regulations rigidly enforced. As soon as our government takes responsibility for such a project, any serious risk of failure or of loss of life becomes politically unaccept able. The costs of Island One become high for the same reason that the costs of the Apollo expeditions were high. The government can afford to waste money but it cannot afford to be responsible for a disaster. After this brief visit to the superhygienic welfare state at Island One, let us go on to the last column of Table I. The last column describes O'Neill's vision of a group of young pioneers who save enough money to move out on their own from the L5 colony into the wilderness of the asteroid belt. They are going on a one-way trip at their own risk. The cost estimates here describe hopes rather than facts. Nobody can possibly know today whether it will be feasible for a group of twenty-three private people to equip such an expedition at a total cost of a million dollars. Anybody who is professionally qualified to estimate costs will say that this figure is absurdly low. I do not believe that it is absurdly low. It is no accident that the per capita cost estimates for the asteroid colony turn out to be similar to those of the Mayflower. This is the maximum level of costs at which the space beyond the earth will give back to mankind the open frontier that we no longer possess on this planet. According to the third and fourth columns of Table I, the cost per pound of the asteroid expedition is not significantly less than that of Island One. The big differences between the two expeditions lie in the number of people and in the weight carried per person. The feasibility of cheap space colonization in the style of the asteroid expedition depends upon one crucial question. Can a family, bringing a total weight of only two tons per person, arrive at an asteroid, build themselves a home and a greenhouse, plant seeds and raise crops in the soil as they find it, and survive? This is what the Mayflower and Mormon colonists did, and it is what the space colonists must do if they are to be truly free and independent. No space probe has yet visited an asteroid. No scientific instruments have even been flown by an asteroid to give us a closer look at it. We are still as ignorant of the topography and chemistry of the asteroids as we were ignorant of the topography of Mars before the Mariner and Viking missions. Until some of the asteroids have been surveyed with unmanned instruments, it is pointless to try to foresee in detail the problems that colonists would face in making themselves at home there. Cost estimates for farming on an asteroid are meaningless until we know whether the soil is soft enough to be dug without using dynamite. Instead of speculating about the mechanics of space colonization in an unknown environment, I will only mention some institutional reasons why it may not be absurd to imagine a reduction in costs by a factor of 100,000 from the $96 billion of Island One to the $1 million of the asteroid colony. First we save a factor of four hundred by reducing the number of people from ten thousand to twenty-three. That leaves a factor of 250 still to be found. We may hope to save a factor of ten by accepting risks and hardships that no government would impose upon its employees, and another factor of five by eliminating trade union rules and bureaucratic management. The last factor of five will be harder to find. It might come from new technology, or more probably from salvaging and reusing equipment left over from earlier government projects. There are already today several hundred derelict spacecraft in orbit around the earth, besides a number on the moon, waiting for our asteroid pioneers to collect and refurbish them. The Island One and the asteroid homesteading expeditions are extreme cases. I chose them to illustrate high and low estimates of the costs of colonization. The true costs, when colonization begins, will probably lie somewhere in between. In so difficult and long range a venture, there is room for a mixture of styles. Governmental, industrial and private operations must all go forward, learning and borrowing from one another, before we shall find out how to establish colonies safely and cheaply. The private adventurers will need all the help they can get from governmental and commercial experience. In this connection, it is worth remembering that 128 years passed between the voyages of Columbus and the Mayflower. In those 128 years, the kings and queens and princes of Spain and Portugal, England and Holland, were building the ships and establishing the commercial infrastructure that would make the Mayflower possible. O'Neill and I have a dream, that one day there will be a free expansion of small groups of private citizens all over the solar system and beyond. Perhaps it is an idle dream. It is a question of dollars and cents, as Bradford and Young well knew.

A crucial unresolved question is how far these genetic constraints have coevolved with language, perhaps resulting in a highly specialized and species-specific language "module," and how much language acquisition and processing redeploy preexisting cognitive machinery. In the present work, we explored the circumstances under which genes encoding language-specific properties could have coevolved with language itself. We present a theoretical model, implemented in computer simulations, of key aspects of the interaction of genes and language. Our results show that genes for language could have coevolved only with highly stable aspects of the linguistic environment; a rapidly changing linguistic environment does not provide a stable target for natural selection. Thus, a biological endowment could not coevolve with properties of language that began as learned cultural conventions, because cultural conventions change much more rapidly than genes. We argue that this rules out the possibility that arbitrary properties of language, including abstract syntactic principles governing phrase structure, case marking, and agreement, have been built into a "language module" by natural selection. The genetic basis of human language acquisition and processing did not coevolve with language, but primarily predates the emergence of language. As suggested by Darwin, the fit between language and its underlying mechanisms arose because language has evolved to fit the human brain, rather than the reverse.

By the time of his death on June 3, 1963, John XXIII had become the most beloved pope in history. The Announcement of and Preparations for the Council It was on January 25, 1959, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, that Pope John XXIII announced at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, during a brief address to a small group of cardinals marking the end of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, that he intended to convene a diocesan synod for Rome and an ecumenical council. With regard to the latter, he said that he was motivated "solely by a concern for the 'good of souls' and in order that the new pontificate may come to grips, in a clear and well-defined way, with the spiritual needs of the present time. ( Two years later, the pope noted that the cardinals had received his announcement in "impressive, devout silence.") He had invited the assembled cardinals to submit confidential opinions and suggestions about his idea for a council, but few did so, and those who did expressed their views "in cold and formal language." The cardinals who had just elected him three months earlier had expected John XXIII to be a transitional pope, not a groundbreaker. His announcement of the council was all the more disconcerting to the cardinals because the pope made it clear that his decision was final. He said that he was "humbly resolute" in it, and that it was "a decisive resolution." The preparations for this Second Vatican Council were the most extensive in the history of the Church. Ideas for the council's agenda was solicited from every bishop in the Catholic world, from the heads of clerical religious orders ( but no orders of religious women), and from Catholic universities and theological faculties as well as members of the Roman Curia. Over 9,300 proposals were submitted. The material was indexed and distributed to eleven preparatory commissions appointed by the pope in June 1960 to formulate draft documents for discussion. These commissions met between Nov. 1960 and June 1962 and produced over seventy documents, or schemata. These documents, in turn, were reduced to twenty separate texts, each of which was reviewed and revised by the Central Preparatory Commission before being submitted to the pope for his approval. ... John XXIII had officially convoked the council on Christmas Day 1961 in an apostolic constituion, Humanae salutis (Lat. "Of human salvation"). ... Pope John XXIII's Opening Address The pope expressed the hope in his historic address on the first day of the council that Vatican II would bless the Church with greater spiritual riches and new energies, so that the Church might "look to the future without fear." Then he launched into his of-quoted criticism of unnamed curial officials who are burdened, he said, with a negative, pessimistic view of the world and of the future of the Church: In the daily exercise of our pastoral office, we sometimes have to listen, much to our regret, to voices of persons who. though burning with zeal, are not endowed with too much sense of discretion or measure. In these modern times they can see nothing but precarication and ruin. They say that our era, in comparison with past eras, is getting worse and they behave as though they have learned nothing from history, which is, nonetheless, the teacher of life. They behave as though at the time of former councils everythign was a full triumph for the Christian idea and life and for proper religious liberty. Although the "greatest concern" of the council must be that "the sacred deposit of Christian doctrine should be guarded and taught more efficaciously," the "salient point" of Vatican II is not a discussion of one or another article of faith or doctrine of the Church. "For this," the pope observed, "a council was not necessary .. The substance of the ancient doctrine of the Deposit of Faith is one thing, and the way it is presented is another." It is the latter, he insisted, that needs to be taken into great consideration by a magisterium that must always be "predominantly pastoral in character." Errors come and go, "like fog before the sun." The Church has always opposed errors regarding the faith and, in the past, did so "with the greatest severity. Nowadays, however, the spouse of Christ prefers to make use of the medicine of mercy rather than of severity. She considers that she meets the needs of the present day by demonstrating the validity of her teaching rather than by condemnations." At this council, the pope continued, the Catholic Church "desires to show herself to be the loving mother of all, benign, patient, full of mercy and goodness toward children separated from her" and "she spreads everywhere the fullness of Christian charity, than which nothing is more effective in eradicating the seeds of discord, nothing more efficacious in promoting concord, just peace and the brotherly unity of all." He concluded: "This council now beginning rises in the Church like daybreak, a forerunner of most splendid light. It is now only dawn." It was only in the light of subsequent developments during the council itself and then immediately after it that the significance of John XXIII's opening address became unmistakably clear. Nowadays, it is practically impossible to understand the work of the council, both as an event and as the producer of sixteen documents, except through the prism of this speech. The pope and his council had broken with the habits and customary approaches of the post-Tridentine, Counter-Reformation Catholic Church - approaches that had held sway since the middle of the sixteenth century. The spirit of the conciliar Church was to be characterized by a hope that would banish fear and pessimism. But it would not be a superficial hope, equivalent to false optimism. This hope is a theological virtue ( along with faith and love) and is rooted in the workings of the Holy Spirit and Divine Providence. The Church's stance in the face of error and dissent was to be no longer one of condemnations and punitive actions, but one of patience and mercy. The most effective way to deal with error, the pope said, is through a positive and compelling presentation of the truth. And even there, the Church must always be mindful of the crucially important distinction between the substance of faith and the way in which it is presented. In all things, charity. Finally, John XXIII made it clear that Vatican II was only the beginning a new day, not its climax, much less its fulfillment. "It is now only dawn." am I a catholic? Although the principal theological contributions of Karl Rahner (d. 1984) were not in the area of ecclesiology, he too prepared the way for the Second Vatican Council. Among his key ecclesiological insights was the idea of the Church as a diaspora community. ... As previously noted, Rahner adapted a saying of St. Augustine, found in his homily on Baptism: "Many whom God has, the Church does not have; and many whom the Church has, God does not have". In other words, there are many in the Kingdom ( doing the will of God, knowingly or not) who are not in the Church, and many in the Church (confessing the Lordship of Jesus) who are not in the Kingdom. Where is it sad, Rahner asks, that the Church must have the whole 100 percent? God must have all. He noted that some events in the history of salvation "ought not" to be, but are and "must" be so (.e.g. the crucifixion of Jesus). The minority, diaspora condition of the Church is one of those "musts" of salvation history. It is a situation not only permitted by God, but positively willed by God for reasons beyond our understanding. But we must draw our conclusions from this. It means that the Church is no longer "in possession" and cannot act as if it were. The age of Christendom is over. The Church must attract people to itself on the basis of free choice rather than social and cultural convention or in response to political pressure. Those who belong to the Church must do so as a matter of personal conviction, not simply of habit. But is the Church's minority status not a countersign of God's will on behalf of the Church? Rahner reminds us that beginnings are often disappointingly meager, a point that Yves Congar also made. St. Benedict of Nursia (d. ca. 550) did not know that he was founding a new Western civilization when he went out with a few monks to reestablish monasticism on Monte Cassino. In the diaspora situation, Rahner argued, the initiative can still be the Church's, if Christians are Christian by faith and conviction rather than by cultural or political attachments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti "We remember: A Reflection on the Shoah" In 1998 the Vatican's Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, under the leadership of Cardinal Edward Cassidy, an Australian, issued a highly publicized document on the Holocaust entitled "We Remember: A Reflection on the Shoah." Many Jewish leaders were disappointed in the statement because the earlier statements of the German and French hierarchies had actually gone much further in acknowledging that the Church itself, and not just some individual members, bears responsibility for the moral climate that allowed Nazism to flourish in Christian Europe. Nevertheless, at the end of the "We Remember" statement, the commission did testify to its "deep sorrow for the failure of [the Church's] sons and daughters in every age" and to its desire to make an act of repentance since, as members of the Church, "we are linked to the sins as well as the merits of all her children." The statement also expressed the Church's "firm resolve to build a new future in which there will be no more anti-Judaism among Christians or anti-Christian sentiment among Jews, but rather a mutual respect." { My personal view on Church's role with the rise of anti-semitism is this: if Chinese are not invoking the guilt of Roman Catholic Church to be responsible for the atrocity of Stalinist and other Communism regimes.

The purpose of the Church is to guide people into heaven. The world is simply the place where the quest for salvation occurs. It is as if, in ecclesiologist Yves Congar's words, "We are aboard a vessel whose destiny is to go to the bottom; man will be saved by journeying in another ship built wholly by God." Congar characterizes this as the dualistic-eschatological view, which is by no means limited to Catholics. He points out that it was a view strongly held by Martin Luther and his twentieth-century Calvinist counterpart Karl Barth (d. 1968). On the other hand, some CAtholic theologians, like Congar himself and the famous Jesuit scientist Teilhard de Chardin (d. 1955), adhered to an incarnationalist view, which affirms the intrinsic value of the world because it has been transformed and redeemed by Jesus Christ, permeated now by the Holy Spirit, and destined for eternal glory in accordance with the Creator's designs. Such theologians were not creating something brand-new, but were retrieving a perspective and a set of insights that were more consistent with those of the early Church than with the neo-Scholastic theology of the Counter-Reformation. The retrieval process, known as ressourcement (also rendered resourcement, Fr., "a return to the sources," i.e., Scripture and the writings of the Fathers of the Church), was especially prominent in Europe, particularly France, in the years immediately after World War II. ... KARL RAHNER "The relation between Church and world has a history," Karl Rahner writes, albeit somewhat opaquely. "The relation is not and must not always be the same. It is historically changing because the world as an individual and collective history of freedom and also the Church in its official ministry and above all in its members is subject to faults and even succumbs to guilt." The Church, Rahner notes, "only slowly" came to acknowledge the legitimate autonomy of the world, including its sciences and its social, political, and economic organizations. "Changes in the Church and in the world mutually interact. .. The Church comes to know itself more and more as 'not of this world' and at the same time as the sacrament of the absolute future of the world," which is the final Kingdom of God. Rahner identifies two fundamental ways of misconceiving the relation between Church and world. The one he calls Integrism ( a term already in circulation in early-twentieth-century France) and the other, Esotericism. "Integrism," he points out, "regards the world as mere material for the action and self-manifestation of the Church, and wants to integrate the world into the Church." Esotericism, on the other hand, is also a "false attitude towards the world...in which what is secular is regarded as a matter of indifference for Christianity, for a life directed towards salvation and therefore towards God's absolute future." Both Integrism and Esotericism reject from opposite extremes the intrinsic value of the world. For the former, the world cannot be sanctified unless and until it has been brought under the domains of the Church. For the latter, the world is so evil that mere contact with it is corrupting and must always be avoided. In Protestant theologian H. Richard Niebuhr's terminology, the integrist approach is equivalent to his model of "the Christ of cultur"; the esotericist approach, to Niebuhr's model of "Christ against culture." For Rahner, the "true relation of the Christian and the Church to the world lies in the mean between these two extremes." ( ref.

Perhaps because of John's injunction to think positive, work on the new encyclical, the eighth of his pontificate, went rapidly; the Pope was pleased with the first draft, had only to pencil in a few flourishes of his own. Last week John XXIII signed and issued the 15,000-word document called, after its opening words in Latin, Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth). It is the first encyclical addressed not only to the bishops and faithful of the Roman Catholic Church but also to "all men of good will." With Right Reason. Order is the theme of Pacem in Terris, and the encyclical itself is appropriately a document both lucid and logical. In outlining his plan for world peace. Pope John relies heavily on two concepts dear to Catholic theology: natural law--man's God-given, innate knowledge of what is right and wrong--and right reason, by which man applies this knowledge to concrete situations. With these instruments, the Pope argues, man can see how order may be realized in human relationships. BETWEEN MAN AND MAN. The search for world order must begin with the fact that "every human being is a person endowed with intelligence and free will." As such, he is endowed with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty, assembly and association, "free initiative in the economic field," a just wage and decent living standards. He even has a right to unmanaged news--"to be informed truthfully about public events." In one of the strongest papal statements in history on religious freedom, Pacem in Terris says also that "every human being has the right to honor God according to the dictates of an upright conscience, and therefore the right to worship God privately and publicly." These rights also carry with them proportionate duties. "The right of every man to life is correlative with the duty to preserve it; his right to a decent standard of living with the duty of living it becomingly; and his right to investigate the truth freely with the duty of seeking it and possessing it profoundly." Therefore man must respect the rights of his peers and cooperate with them in creating "a well-ordered, beneficial" political society. BETWEEN MAN AND THE STATE. Rights and duties can only be exercised properly in a free society, under government by and for the people. Where the civil authority uses "threats and fear of punishment or promises of rewards, it cannot move men to promote the common good of all." Nor can an oppressive government claim the allegiance of its subjects, for "it follows that if civil authorities legislate for or allow anything that is contrary to that order and therefore contrary to the law of God, neither the laws made nor the authorizations granted can be binding on the conscience of the citizens." In acting on behalf of its citizens, civil authority must guard the rights of minorities, give equal protection of the law to all men, and impartially provide such essential services as education and public health. It cannot unjustly prevent man's effort to better his lot in life: "State activity in the economic field, no matter what its breadth or depth may be, ought not to be exercised in such a way as to curtail an individual's freedom of personal initiative." There is no single "most suitable form of government," but natural law requires of any political system "that government officials be chosen in conformity with constitutional procedures and perform their specific functions within the limits of the law." BETWEEN STATE AND STATE. The same moral law that governs the relations of men also covers the diplomatic dealings of nations, which should be based on truth and justice. Citizens acting for governments cannot set aside their "personal dignity," nor "the very law of their being, which is the moral law." Nations therefore must eliminate "every trace of racism," drop all colonial ambitions, protect ethnic minorities and political refugees. Rich nations have the obligation to assist the poor; all nations should resolve their disputes by negotiation rather than war. Since "people live in constant fear lest the storm that every moment threatens should break upon them." world leaders must above all come to grips with the question of disarmament. "Justice, right reason and humanity urgently demand that the arms race should cease. That the stockpiles which exist in various countries should be reduced equally and simultaneously. That nuclear weapons should be banned." BETWEEN STATES AND THE WORLD COMMUNITY: The 20th century's extraordinary progress in science and technology has made one family of the world: national economies are interdependent, and the peace and security of one country necessarily depend upon the peace and security of all countries. In this new age, new political instruments may be needed, particularly "a public authority having worldwide power and endowed with the proper means for the efficacious pursuit of the universal common good in concrete form." This world government--which should not replace or limit the autonomy of existing political units--might well develop from the U.N. "It is our earnest wish that the United Nations Organization may become ever more equal to the magnitude and nobility of its tasks, and that the day may come when every human being will find therein an effective safeguard for the rights which derive directly from his dignity as a person." The U.S.: "We Agree." At the traditional Holy Thursday reception for diplomats accredited to the Vatican, the Pope said that he hoped his encyclical "will be heard and understood by all"--and it seemed that it was. There was a chorus of praise from leaders of other churches, and U.N. Secretary General U. Thant chimed in with "respectful homage" to the Pope for "his great wisdom, vision and courage." As a description of personal rights and the role of government, Pacem in Terns so closely conformed to Western practice and ideals that the U.S. State Department abandoned its custom of ignoring papal encyclicals and said: "No country could be more responsive than the U.S. to its profound appeal to, and reassertion of, the dignity of the individual, and man's right to peace, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." An American diplomat in Rome exulted: "It embodies everything the U.S. has been working for. We couldn't agree with it more." The words from the Red world were equally warm. Moscow's Izvestia, whose Editor Aleksei Adzhubei visited Pope John in March, made it clear that the encyclical met with favor in the Kremlin. Without waiting for guidance from Moscow, leaders of Communist parties in Italy, Belgium and France hailed the peace-loving tone of Pacem in Terris; Paris' L'Humanit called it a major step toward unity of action for peace, and Poland's Zycie Warszawy heralded it as an encyclical of "peaceful coexistence." These appraisals shrugged off the letter's strong rejection of totalitarianism, and concentrated on its espousal of those causes--such as the liberation of the working classes and anti-colonialism--that Communists like to talk about. The Vatican radio hastily said that the Communists were missing the point: the "central nucleus" of the encyclical was "the dignity of the human being, his rights, his duties." More Startling Moves? The Red world may also have been impressed by the implication of Pacem in Terris that Vatican efforts to achieve a new accord with Moscow will continue--even though it put those efforts clearly into perspective. Pope John's recent overtures to Communist leaders are not an accommodation of church teaching with that of Marx, but a bold stroke of diplomacy intended to remind men of both East and West that a new era is dawning, requiring new policies. To Pope John, the world is in the midst of evolution, and political institutions need not be identified with the teachings that they stem from. Even if doctrines remain the same, the movements they foster "cannot avoid being subject to changes." Thus he notes, in what may be a forecast of even more startling moves by the Vatican, "It can happen that a meeting for the attainment of some practical end, which was formerly deemed inopportune or unproductive, might now or in the future be considered useful." Pacem in Terris declares that the achievement of universal order depends upon the willingness of all men to meet for the attainment of these practical ends. The Pope summons the Christian believer, guided by prudence, to lead the way and become "a spark of light, a center of love" among his fellow men. But he also makes clear that one more quality is needed. "There can be no peace between men," he warned, "unless there is peace within each one of them; unless, that is, each one builds up within himself the order wished by God." * Reportedly including the Vatican's Secretary of State, Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, who for many years was apostolic delegate in Washington; his principal assistants, Archbishops Angelo Dell' Acqua and Antonio Samor; the Vatican Protocol Chief, Consignor Igino Cardinale; and Monsignor Pietro Pavan, a consultant to several curial congregations, who composed the final draft of the Pope's 1961 encyclical on social problems, Mater et Magistra. http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,830133,00.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti yarr "There can be no peace between men," he warned, "unless there is peace within each one of them; unless, that is, each one builds up within himself the order wished by God." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti limpdawg, are you unto this cold murder file ? i always believed god gives dog its nose for good reason...

The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods country folk had no business at Harvard, and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied. For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with nobodies, but he detested gingham and homespun suits cluttering his office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him somewhere on campus." The president wasn't touched, and she was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery." "Oh, no "the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would give a building to Harvard." The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, and then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard!" For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. And Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the university that bears their name a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

McBrien p126 Father Leonard Feeney, S.J, c haplain to Catholic students at Harvard University and based at St. Benedict's Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, took the medieval axiom formulated by Pope Boniface VIII, "Outside the Church, no salvation" ( Lat. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus), to an extreme, arguing that only Catholics can be saved and, in effect, placing all non-Catholic Christians in the same moral category as non-Christians and nonbelieevrs. Since the controversy had erupted in the archdiocese of Boston and since Father Feeney's followers, who called themselves the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, were applying pressure directly upon Archbishop Richard J. Cushing (d. 1970), the archbishop appealed to Rome for assistance. The assistance came in the form of a letter from the Holy Office to the archbishop of Boston, dated August 8, 1949. Interested in what Pope had to say to correct Father Feeney's wrongheaded translation/interpretation of medieval Axiom ? Galileo_Galilei is an extremist for his time Wouldn't you agree? Compared to other extreme regime's resolution to their opposing extremists, Vatican's house-arrest for Galileo is considered civil, IMO. In the end, it is the literal meaning of Scripture that needed to be reexamined.

I only have his books in English merry-go-around Chinese philosophy Tao Teh Ching Lao Tzu Translated by John C. H. Wu Chapter 2 When all the world recognizes beauty as beauty this in itself is ugliness. When all the world recognizes good as good, this in itself is evil. Indeed, the hidden and the manifest give birth to each other. Difficult and easy complement each other. High and low set measure to each other. Voice and sound harmonize eath other. Back and front follow each other. Therefore, the Sage manages his affairs without ado, And spreads his teaching without talking. He denies nothing to the teeming things. He rears them ,but lay no claim to them. He does his work, but sets no store by it. He accomplishes his task, but does not dweel upon it. And yet it is just because he does not dwell on it That nobody can take it away from him. Chapter 59 In governing a people and in serving Heaven, There is nothing like frugality. To be frugal is to return before straying. To return b efore straying is to have a double reserve of Virtue. To have a double reserve of Virtue is to overcome everything. To overcome everything is to reach an invisible height. Only he who has reached an invisible height can have a kingdom. Only he who has got the Mother of a kingdom can last long. This is the way to be deep-rootecd and firm-planted in the Tao, The secret of long life and lasting vision. Chapter 60 Ruling a big kingdom is like cooking a small fish. When a man of Tao reigns over the world, demons have no spiritual powers. Not that the demons have no spiritual powers, but the spirits themselves do no harm to men. Not that the spirits do no harm to men, but the Sage himself does no harm to his people. If only the ruler and his people would refrain from harming each other, all the benefits of life would accumulate in the kingdom. Chapter 61 A great country is like a lowland toward which all streams flow. It is the Reservoir of all under heaven, the Feminine of the world. The Feminine always conquers the Masculine by her quietness, by lowering herself through her quietness. Hence, if a great country can lower itself before a small country, it will win over the small country; and if a small country can lower itself before a great country, it will win over the great country. The one wins by stooping; the other, by remaining low. What a great country wants is simply to embrace more people; and what a small country wants is simply to come to serve its patron. Thus, each gets what it wants. But it behooves a great country to lower itself. Psalms translated into Chinese by John C.H.

Nima's contribution to Persian poetry is roughly equivalent to Whitman's to American poetry.(?) During the three decades it took him to painstakingly plan and execute this change, giving birth to Modern Poetry in Iran - called She'r-r No' or "New Poetry" in Persian - the next generation of poets, including Shamlou, continued Nima's work, not only changing the metric structure of peotry, but removing its limitations altogether, taking it all the way to free verse. Shamlou is widely considered the father of the Free Verse movement in Iranian poetry. Ahmad Shamlou (1925-2000) Persian King.

Wisdom Wanes Sir Godber as the Master of Porterhouse college, did not shy from setting his own rule according to college's constitution handed down by its benevolent founder. Yet he took the extreme measure of dismissing 12 member council all together so that he and his wife alone control all matter of how to improve higher education. Similar accusations are made by Mr. Richard Bradley in his book 'Harvard Rules' in regards of Dr. Summers' reign as the 27th president of Harvard University and radical changes he brought with him inside this oldest established institution of US. Dr. Summers reign, according to Richard Bradley was to consolidate power and money and hiring of tenured faculty members to the office of the President. The toughest criticism of Summers The toughest criticism of Summers came from Joseph Stiglitz. To Stiglitz, Treasury, the World Bank, and the IMF had all become tools of Wall Street, a means of extending American financial interests masquerading as economic benevolence. Summers, once a skeptic of the free market, had become one of its more ardent defenders... There were those, including Stiglitz, who suspected that Summers had actually responded to Stiglitz's criticisms more directly: by forcing Stiglitz out of his position as the World Bank's chief economist. In 2000, when Stiglitz's term was up, he was due to be reappointed by World Bank president James Wolfensohn. But Wolfensohn informed him that the appointment would come only if he promised to silence his criticism, a condition Stiglitz declined to meet. Stiglitz left the Bank to teach at Columbia University and write an influential bestseller called 'Globalization and Its Discontents'. In 2001 he would win the Nobel Prize for his work on "information asymmetries" - the idea that markets are imperfect because their participants have unequal access to information. "Even small degrees of information imperfections can have large economic consequences". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti He may have said something Yet his successor, the first woman President of Harvard, vetoed a tenured position offered to Christina Romer by the Economics Department.

Summers' intelligence was sometimes mixed with a clinical candor. At a forum with graduate students, one aspiring scholar rose to tell Summers that his Harvard stipend had expired, and the teaching load he was offered in its stead didn't pay him nearly the amount of the stipend. Why would Harvard actually reduce the amount of money it had once offered him as incentive to come to the university? For the same reason, Summers responded, that Polaroid sells it cameras cheaply, but not its film. Once a consumer bought the camera, he was locked into purchasing the film. Similarly, when Harvard was competing with other universities for the best graduate students, it had to offer them the most atrractive financial aid package. But as soon as that student had committed to Harvard, the university was free to lowball its subsequent offers; at that point, the student wasn't likely to transfer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti merrily merrily lady3jane blows her nose in a peacock bonnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti 'Harvard Rules' a comparative reading of Tom Sharpe's 'Porterhouse Blue' vs. 'Harvard Rules' can be exciting. Mr. Blow, the author of 'Harvard Rules' is a sensational writer. He reminds me of the character "Cornelius Carrington" in Porterhouse. After all, President Summers would later replace Richard Hunt, the Harvard University Marshall, keeper of Hardvard tradition and ceremonial rituals, with someone else just like Sir Godber dismissed the head porter Skullion and installed a new woman in charge, marking the progress of higher education. What a marvelous resemblance of fiction and its surreal replay... stay tuned. oh. Mr. Blow is no longer Mr. Blow He changed his name to Richard Bradley after writing a best seller 'American son - A portrait of John F. Kennedy, Jr.' The book is blatantly anti-Summers but I think there must be half baked truth in it. Dr. Summers did not cooperate with the book, with aides saying that it was far too early in his tenure to assess his leadership. And now that the book is out, they are no more prone to comment. "We are not going to dignify that kind of sensationalist gossip with comment," said Lucie McNeil, a spokeswoman for Dr. Summers. I hope the book changed Dr. Summers in some way. Dr. Summers is now serving as the director of National Economic Council in Obama's new administration. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti nope.

As Woody Guthrie sang, "Well, as through this world I've rambled, I've seen lots of funny men. Some will rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen." Please disregard the whining from the "Bonfire of the Vanities" types, and their threats to collapse the financial system unless they get a handout. The answer should be, "Fine. Collapse it already. Productive individuals, companies, and the remaining sound local banks can build a new one, without you." You have to play hardball with these people. They treat anything else as weakness. After Congress passed a Medicare drug plan that doesn't even let the government negotiate on price for drugs, every other industry is seeing Congress as sheep ready for shearing. If Congress can't negotiate anything better than "$700 billion for you, nothing for me," then I am willing to come out there at my own expense and do it for you. Let me know. When a kid threatens to break his toys unless he gets ice cream, no ice cream for him. Unless Congress can learn what every parent knows, before this asinine plan passes, the moral hazard problem will only get worse. With the $700 billion in hand this year, the investment bank clowns will blow it on another round of gambling, then come back to taxpayers for trillions next year. Don't buy the argument from bailout cheerleader David Leonhardt at the New York Times that the "assets" taxpayers get for their $700 billion will have significant resale value. If something gets dumped on the public sector, it will be about as profitable to resell as one of those vacation timeshare rip-offs. In the long run, it would be better to write off the whole Federal Reserve system, and build a new central bank and regulatory agency from scratch, than to continue to feed the expectation that gains are private, and risks belong to the taxpayer. The other problem with the handout is that it encourages lenders to destroy the real houses and apartments that all these financial shenanigans were about in the first place. Foreclosed houses fall apart and become vandalism targets, for lack of maintenance and attention. All while people who are willing and able to keep them up are living on the street. Here's a simpler bailout plan, and one that focuses on solving the problem, not paying speculators for failing to see it. If you're going to have the public sector in the housing business, use the people in the public sector who are already set up for it. Lend the money to local public housing authorities to buy foreclosed properties to use as rentals, with the requirement that if a tenant can make a solid offer on the property in the future, the tenant can buy it. That keeps residents in houses, so the real assets don't fall apart while people talk about paper ones. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with. Sincerely yours, what McCain, Palin & Gramm have in common ? DO DOG'S HARD WORK. "Gramm often noted in his political campaigns that he had repeated three grades in school but had overcome his academic deficiencies by hard work." Quotations * "If you are willing to tackle the tough issues, you don't need to worry about stepping on anyone's toes; they will stand aside and shove you to the front." -- As quoted by former Gramm staffer Wayne A. Abernathy[17] September 12, 2002, before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.[18] * "I have as many guns as I need, but I don't have as many guns as I want."[19] * "Most people don't have the luxury of living to be 80 years old, so it's hard for me to feel sorry for them." - (in response to a statement that a Social Security proposal would hurt people over 80)[20] * "I recently told Ed Whitacre [former CEO of AT&T, who retired with a $158 million pay package] he was probably the most exploited worker in American history"[21] * "We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness."[11] Foreclosure Phil As a thriving bank exec and presidential adviser, Gramm has defied a prime economic principle: Bad products are driven out of the market.

Question/Comment: On the NewsHour tonight, the speaker stated that some the problem with the fall of Wall Street is related to use of derivatives and lack of regulation of this. Could you explain further what a derivative is and how this is part of the problem? Paul Solman: As law professor Frank Partnoy explained in a story we did a few years ago: "Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is linked to something else. They're basically fancy instruments that have evolved over the last ten years that enable investors and institutions to bet on virtually anything, from interest rates or exchange rates to commodities." Our NewsHour story explains the derivation of derivatives, and I suggest you watch and/or read it. But what's important today is that a multi-trillion dollar market in these bets has mushroomed without any real regulation, in part because in 2000, in the words of one account, hours before Congress was to leave for Christmas recess, Senator Phil Gramm slipped a 262-page amendment into the appropriations bill forbidding federal agencies to regulate the financial derivatives industry. Forbidding indeed. McCain wants to kick some butts for you. Someone has to fall before the next President takes on this crisis.

I like to think (right now please!) of a cybernetic forest filled with pines and electronics where deer stroll peacefully past computers as if they were flowers with spinning blossoms. I like to think (it has to be!) of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace. This poem, [rare] for him [Brautigan], expresses an idea explicitly. . . . Its vision of a computer-controlled world, though ahead of its time, was not new: it had long been anticipated in science-fiction. But the point is that his vision is, like all his work, subversive of the existing order. Brautigan sees a world in which all our work is done by computers, so that we can re-establish a communion with nature: senses, emotions, a fellowship with other living things. Neither computers nor humans attempt to dominate the other. They watch over us, we accept them. Now, of course, computers are exclusively an extension of human power.

WHEN IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME SPEAKING WORDS OF WISDOM LET IT BE LET IT BE. 'Mack Truck' says Obama can't match up with McCain HENRY: All right, so Sarah Palin's daughter, Britsol, is pregnant. Here's the truth - we have to kill this girl. It's the only way. I mean, how many times can we hide her behind Denny Hastert? We have a campaign to run here. "Bristol, you're a beautiful, young girl. You have your whole life ahead of you. But it's time to go now." "But didn't I do the right thing? I didn't have an abortion. I didn't use a birth control. Didn't I do the right thing?" "Yeah, but your mom is running for Vice President now, so the `right thing' is a little more cloudy than usual. And, uh, it's over." Our first caller is Ed from Easton, Pennsylvania. Ed, go ahead. You're on with The Mack Truck. CALLER: Yeah, I just want to understand, you're advocating murder? HENRY: Sacrifice. CALLER: Murder of a 17-year-old girl. HENRY: Sacrifice, Ed. CALLER: Well, what's the difference what you call it? You're still killing her. HENRY: Yeah, but ritually. In a ritual. So it's different. CALLER: What kind of ritual? What are you talking about? HENRY: A little ritual called, The Republican National Convention, my friend, Ed. The Republican National Convention. Final night of the convention, McCain's big speech. He calls Bristol Palin up on stage. This great, sweet moment with the uncle forgiving the wayward teen. And just as everything quiets down, he takes out a Revolutionary-era sword, and he chops off her head. Boom. It's done. Shows he's a man of action. Shows he's virile. And shows he's accurate with a sword. Which may come in handy at some point, though I can't think of how right now. Best convention speech ever. Obama could never match that speech. You know why? Beause he'd never behead someone during a speech. Never. And we win. On the basis of that momentum, from that speech, we win. CALLER: I think, I think you're sick. HENRY: My friend, the world is sick.

Critiques of Democracy A Demos Chooses to Avoid Choice, an Individual May Learn It By various areas of approach I have talked about how very erroneously democracy gets identified with freedom. One pillar of the liberal-democratic concept remains. Freedom implies choice. It means self-determined rather than regimented behavior, enforced by violence and compulsion. [16] Without choice, "freedom" is a meaningless assertion. And ultimately the most substantive support for the idea that democracy intrinsically provides freedom is that democracy appears to offer choice. In democracy, although most officials remain installed bureaucrats some officials and leaders may be elected by the mechanisms of popular elections according to majority or plurality of ballots, from among the available options (those candidates named from within dominant political parties). Certain issues may be subject to popular referendum. Popularity polls may influence policy considerably. In a sense, these involve choices. So democracy does admittedly supply choice -- in a very limited, channeled, specific and particular political sense. [17] But it really operates not through the practice of choice in the usual sense of the word, but on the basis of yielding it. People, and especially those trained to act as the herd so valued in the culture of democracy (and in other mass-oriented value systems), will use their opportunities for choice to choose not to have choice, whenever possible. They will choose, according to whim, to yield the freedom to make future choices they might have made for themselves, especially demanding ones. They will instead empower leaders, officials and bureaucrats to think for them. Otherwise what could possibly explain the recurring appeal of censorship throughout the ages? (Remember how often censorship appeals not only to those who wish to become empowered censors, but to those who would accept censorship which affects them.) [18] Or the modern affection for banning or regulating potentially dangerous substances or inventions [19], contravening the complete personal choice of the buyer? Like most lifeforms, humans tend to prefer the easy way, or more exactly the way which seems easier or least consumptive of energy compared to evident reward. They may instinctively prefer to yield responsibility to others if they believe they can do so in trust (which democratic faith promises: "government for the people and by the people"). They will choose not to have to be responsible unless they must discern and discriminate for themselves. To avoid this from moment to moment, it may seem easier to make "the public" or people as a whole responsible for oneself, which really means empowering politicians and bureaucracies, losing freedom and yielding choice. There is a sense in which people must be 'forced' out of their complacency. They would often prefer not to be responsible for personal choices and therefore must be compelled by circumstances. I do not mean they must be compelled by force in a political, militant or physical sense here, but rather by the implications of their actions. They must be 'forced' to think and act for themselves by the repercussions of choices and circumstances. Independent responsibility forces freedom of choice in a realistic direction. Freedom and choice of course do not always turn out well. With a certain snide pessimism and misanthropy for those they claim to help, advocates of the rights of authority to dictate to citizens notice this fallibility. They seize upon this "evidence" for private, personal and individual incompetence. They insult individuals' abilities to make wise choices and conduct themselves well, neglecting that planners and supervisors and leaders of government are people also, and not as such fallible or omniscient. (And in addition have their own personal self-interests, agendas and preferences like anyone, maybe far removed from those of citizens they take it upon themselves to oversee.) But the simple realization that every option accessible by choice may not bring productive, profitable, safe or advantageous results only becomes useful in practice, and teaches us by experience to avoid unproductive, unprofitable, dangerous or disadvantageous repercussions in future choices if those who make the choices must also bear them out. Democracy certainly involves repercussions, but not often for those who make choices for other people. And the occasional and very much channeled `choices' of the democratic process are far too hard to learn from, too removed from extended consequences, too intermittent and too impersonal. Freedom includes responsibility for oneself, and therefore compels people to take care of themselves. By exercising this ability they become more able to perform it. In the end one powerful argument for freedom (and against democracy, or in fact any form of government) is not that freedom coddles people and makes life easy for them; it is that freedom can be hard for them. But the temptation to escape this exercise, to yield personal freedom-responsibility for some sort of nebulous, collective freedom-responsibility and in practice obtain regimentation and irresponsibility, may remain quite a pronounced inclination to slouch indeed. In conjunction with the other democratic pretensions to freedom noted above, it has given something of an edge to democratic politicians -- those who know how to promise much to everyone and pledge their altruism believably. The mechanisms of democracy, primarily in elections, give them the role of superseding individual choice, via the `choice' of ballots and polls. If this were freedom, we should still want no part of it. There is quite a difference after all between the freedoms of choice and whim. Democracy functions as an enforcement of electoral whim, not considered choices which are supported by ongoing consequences for the one who makes them. Instead democracy imposes the ongoing consequences of officials' choices on citizens, once they are empowered by citizens' whim. Democracy does not mean freedom, if freedom means anything worth choosing. - Promethea.org drill, baby, drill and no beer from yuo. what a crying game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti The best is always right HERE! $ pipeline is for retards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i rule the queue precisely under rusty autocracy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Triality is your dancing Eros For too long by too many String theory is being fucked Now Lisi's trying his faith in Lie group E_8.

At the focal point, I helplessly superimpose them. Focus, in Latin, is fireplace. So, at the focal hearth is something burning? Is their primal coupling disappearing or becoming sacred? It would appear that a sole (burnt offering) density is being created. as the Ajna Chakra, located between the eyebrows, the third eye, a two -petaled lotus, encompassing lingam in yoni, 'the supreme creative act." It is miraculous, in fact, that in this third eye I am propellering them, grinding them to a whirr, or swastika, a triskelion consisting of three human legs with bent knees, or tentacles, coiling about a single center. In other instances, the center is a belly, or a Gorgon's face, her turning legs incipient snakes. Or is it two energy streams curving into each other, as in van Gogh's 'Starry Night," the spiral form which Wilhelm Reich called 'cosmic superimposition," in his eyes "the basic bio-physical form." Before the hooked cross, before linear corners, angles might have been suggested by two superimposed curling lines, with one line tending toward straightening (male), the other tending toward self-enclosing (female). Before semen was thought be be primary in conception, the straight line, or slit, may have been in the service of the enclosing one, may have been semi-enclosed by it, the ensemble making the form of the earliest engraved vulvas. This image evokes a very early form of the labyrinth, a simple, female labyrinth, into which the male entered, swerved, surrendered a part of himself, and withdrew. At the point that the instrumental role of semen in conception was discovered, there was a massive redistribution of female and male dominance in favor of the latter. Idealistically, one might wish that a reciprocity between the sexes had set in , an equalization of creative potential. However, as we all know too well today, nothing like this happened. Emboldened by the discovery of his so-called primacy, the male line of the simple labyrinth broke through the cul-de-sac, or swerve area, and rather than turning and withdrawing, pushed on and one, so if to resolve entering through unending penetration. The breaking point became an intersection, or a center within, the nucleus for the labyrinth as we know it today, in which a life and death struggle takes place, and from which, even if victorious at the center, the victor may never emerge but continues to wander the winding paths. Once the male line broke through in this pictograph, the formerly dominant self-enclosing line of the simple labyrinth, having lost its interior magnet, so to speak, lost its shape, and began to wander, branching off to become the maze space of the hero's testing. At a fundamental layer of psyche, male and female are as two night-crawlers moving over and around each, blindly searching, unaware that their point of superimposition is the center of centers out of which and around which mythological conflict emanates. Practically speaking, over thousands years, we have contained these crawlers and set them revolving in the third eye. Yet our attentions wander, we are more often than not out of sync with what we most desire. Men and women complicate what they know and do not know of what the other requires... So when I look into my eyes, the groundwork of my parents, disintegrated in the irises years ago, becomes a broken and living labyrinth, full of gaps, collapsing and continuing in these fragmentary constructions. - p107 'Juniper Fuse' by Clayton Eshleman The magic words are Apple Strudel Otchky-potchy, itchky-pitch / Pay attention to this witch / A donkey takes you to a knight / Him you conquer in a fight / Then you wed a princess who / Is even uglier than you / Ha ha ha and cockadoodle / The magic words are Apple Strudel First, it makes reference to the ancient Indian epic "Ramayana". Written in Sanskrit and when transliterated to English bearing absolutely no resemblance to the iambic pentameter upon which the witch's poem is based, the two poems bear striking resemblance to each other. Secondly, it ever-so-subtly references the timeless Welsh and British mythology of King Arthur, slyly hinting at the intrigue of knights and gallantry through wordplay. Finally, the mention of Apple Strudel expresses distaste for the spread of Communism in post-Iron Curtain-era China. How? Well, by simply inferring that by apple strudel, Steig was truly speaking of apple pie, the most American of all delicacies, and by that was referring to American values, the direct antithesis to China, he was obliquely pointing out that the secret to success is not in China, one can easily see the reference. from the one and only Shrek ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti life is long and beauty fades There is another kind of art. Harder, less dramatic. One can look at The origin of the world and have one's vision of the Feminine refreshed. One might even assume that one could even paint a comparable painting. It is quite another thing to live with such values. Is your lover a goddess? Can you bring such poetics, such creative effort, to your everyday life? Can you live with the knowledge of your exquisite, and very ordinary, mortality? It is one thing to rescue the outcast, the forsaken, the downright Beastly -- that gets the hero's reception, the ticker tape parade down main street, a throne at Olympus, a role in a fairy tale -- or at the very least a child's awe, a gasp of amazement. To champion the mundane is quite another matter. It is quiet, daily effort, requiring Sisyphian ingenuity. Like the chores of housewifery, one must set the table, light the candles, say the prayers. Love, if it is to be sustained, and if it survives the dissipation of the ideal, requires such endurance, such stubborn genius. We struggle in life against both familiarity and detachment, and the shadows of contempt that lie everywhere in between. We sweat to keep our gaze fresh, to lasso amazement, even when the sink is filled with dirty dishes, and the sky has been overcast for weeks. Look at Beauty's life after marrying the Beast, after he becomes a prince: It is hardly Happily Ever After. She misses his whiskers, his feral breath, his scrappy, jagged nails. What has rescued Beauty, made her real, sanctified her, is her concupiscence with the ugliest cuss in sight. She became soiled, surrendered idealization. But once everything is prettified, where's the rub? What can rise to the occasion of beauty Besides, life is long and beauty fades. What kind of castle looms for lovers doomed to the life-long haul? The saying goes that beauty is as beauty does. Could that mean that to confer beauty unto something or someone, to discover something otherwise forsaken, is to become beautiful? And moreover, not to do it just once -- that would be easy, as easy as kissing a frog -- but to continually salvage love from the brutal revelations of intimacy, ah, that would take some enchantment! So by night they have to remember themselves, become grotesques, accept the natures they were given; so by morning they are redeemed in the eyes of the other. They scream and fight sometimes with words not befitting a fairy tale. They have to light their own candelabras, and sing their corny off-key songs, and force themselves to journey away from each other. Their fangs are sharp, their glamour for their eyes alone, and they manage each day to maintain the holy trance.

BR, you can't remember the great-uncle N'ba N'ga ?! shame on you! And here's the story as Qfwfq ends it: "Lil, I have to talk to you," I said as soon as I saw her, "you've been amusing yourself long enough. We have more important things ahead of us...." "The sea is immense," Lil said. "Stopping repeating that old fool's nonsense. The world belongs to those with legs, not to fish, and you know it." "I know that he's somebody who is somebody," Lil said. "And what about me?" "There's nobody with legs who is like him." 'And your family?" "We've quarreled. They don't understand anything." "Why, you're crazy! Nobody can turn back!" "I can." "And what do you think you'll do, all alone with an old fish?" "Marry him. Be a fish again with him. And bring still more fish into the world. Good-by." And with one of those rapid climbs of hers, the last, she reached the top of a fern frond, bent it toward the lagoon, and let go in a dive. She surfaced, but she wasn't alone: the sturdy, curved tail of Great-Uncle N'ba N'ga rose near hers and, together, they cleft the waters. It was a hard blow for me. But, after all, what could I do about it? I went on my way, in the midst of the world's transformations, being transformed myself. Every now and then, among the many forms of living beings, I encountered one who "was somebody" more than I was: one who announced the future, the duck-billed platypus who nurses its young, just hatched from the egg; or I might encounter another who bore witness to a past beyond all return, a dinosaur who had survived into the beginning of the Cenozoic, or else - a crocodile - part of the past that had discovered a way to remain immobile through the centuries. They all had something, I know, that made them somehow superior to me, sublime, something that made me, compared to them, mediocre.

She seems only several inches tall. It is a funeral to be there, in a burial chamber where first otherness is displayed behind a rope, with written instructions which only describe the age of a shape. And I who look upon this am immense, encrusted with all my own undelivered selves, my skeletal papoose rack through which my mother's 85 mile long legs are dangling, out of which my father's right arm with a seemly infinite switch trails down the museum orad, across France, to disappear in the Atlantic, and I jig around a bit because a ghost dance starts up as i stare through the hermaphroditic circle the snake made, so self-contained, but what it and I contain, the "divine couple," is the latent mother-father who has taken over the world.

And way in, trident-deep in Le Portel, did Her three prongs close? Was the uroboros hammered shut when those hunters at last hacked themselves free from animal sinew? And was this the point at which the wilderness was mentally enwalled, serpent the outer circumference, to teach, and banish, our Adamic Eve? Below Our Lady, in my mental wall, is the foot-long rock phallus Her devotees may have taken inside while they chipped in Her sign. I have been straddling, all poem long, that insistent, rapacious thing, of phallus, the tooth-phallus, the borer, for the tooth-phallus is insatiable, male hunger to connect at any price, but not to connect, to cease being an island, a speck before the emancipatory shape of the birth-giving mainland, to create a mole to tie fucking to birth, to cease being ticks on the heaving pelt of this earth, to hook their erections to the sleigh of a howling starveling, And they did get across, at around 10,000 B.P. one night fucking and birth were connected by a mole burrowing right below the surface of a full moon boring a red mortal line from the edge to a point equidistant from the circumference. The corpus callosum was suddenly filled with traffic. The last Magdalenians were aware of that Our Lady had closed. They padlocked Her with the uroboros and planted the key. She now grows on a long handle out of the ground at the edge of the abyss. Some see Her as fly-eyed radar. Others feel it is to Her prong that they cling as the gale of monoculture whips them horizontal. Many more on their knees inch along cathedral pavement toward what they believe is Her virginal compassion which will somehow make their manure-colored barriada water pure, their nipple blood, their corporeal muscatel in which their children play, miracle and misery on which my index touches, to stir for a moment Her gouged rock socket octopus current of faceless suckers Veil.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY of intellectuals to speak the truth and to expose lies. This, t least, may seem enough of a truism to pass over without comment. Not so, however. For t e modern intellectual, it is not at all obvious. Thus we have Martin Heidegger writing, in a pro-Hitler declaration of 1933, that "truth is the revelation of that which makes a people certai , clear, and strong in its action and knowledge"; it is only this kind of "truth" that one has a responsibility to speak. Americans tend to be more forthright. When Arthur Schlesinger w s asked b The New York Times in November, 1965, to explain the contradiction between his published account of the Bay of Pigs incident and the story he had given the press at the time of the attack, he simply remarked that he had lied; and a few days later, he went on to compliment the Times for also having suppressed information on the planned invasion, in "the national interest," as this term was defined by the group of arrogant and deluded men of whom Schlesinger gives such a flattering portrait in his recent account of the Kennedy Administration. It is of no particular interest that one man is quite happy to lie in behalf of a cause which he knows to be unjust; but it is significant that such events provoke so little response in the intellectual community--for example, no one has said that there is something strange in the offer of a major chair in the humanities to a historian who feels it to be his duty to persuade the world that an American-sponsored invasion of a nearby country is nothing of the sort. And what of the incredible sequence of lies on the part of our government and its spokesmen concerning such matters as negotiations in Vietnam? The facts are known to all who care to know. The press, foreign and domestic, has presented documentation to refute each falsehood as it appears. But the power of the government's propaganda apparatus is such that the citizen who does not undertake a research project on the subject can hardly hope to confront government pronouncements with fact.[1] The deceit and distortion surrounding the American invasion of Vietnam is by now so familiar that it has lost its power to shock. It is therefore useful to recall that although new levels of cynicism are constantly being reached, their clear antecedents were accepted at home with quiet toleration. It is a useful exercise to compare Government statements at the time of the invasion of Guatemala in 1954 with Eisenhower's admission--to be more accurate, his boast--a decade later that American planes were sent "to help the invaders" (New York Times, October 14, 1965). Nor is it only in moments of crisis that duplicity is considered perfectly in order. "New Frontiersmen," for example, have scarcely distinguished themselves by a passionate concern for historical accuracy, even when they are not being called upon to provide a "propaganda cover" for ongoing actions. For example, Arthur Schlesinger (New York Times, February 6, 1966) describes the bombing of North Vietnam and the massive escalation of military commitment in early 1965 as based on a "perfectly rational argument": so long as the Vietcong thought they were going to win the war, they obviously would not be interested in any kind of negotiated settlement. The date is important. Had this statement been made six months earlier, one could attribute it to ignorance. But this statement appeared after the UN, North Vietnamese, and Soviet initiatives had been front-page news for months. It was already public knowledge that these initiatives had preceeded the escalation of February 1965 and, in fact, continued for several weeks after the bombing began. Correspondents in Washington tried desperately to find some explanation for the startling deception that had been revealed. Chalmers Roberts, for example, wrote in the Boston Globe on November 19 with unconscious irony: [late February, 1965] hardly seemed to Washington to be a propitious moment for negotiations [since] Mr. Johnson...had just ordered the first bombing of North Vietnam in an effort to bring Hanoi to a conference table where the bargaining chips on both sides would be more closely matched. Coming at that moment, Schlesinger's statement is less an example of deceit than of contempt--contempt for an audience that can be expected to tolerate such behavior with silence, if not approval.[2] TO TURN TO SOMEONE closer to the actual formation and implementation of polic , consider some of the reflections of Walt Rostow, a man who, according to Schlesinge , brought a "spacious historical view" to the conduct of foreign affairs in the Kenne y administratio [3] According to his analysis, the guerrilla warfare in Indo-China in 1946 was launched by Stalin,[4] and Hanoi initiated the guerrilla war against South Vietnam in 1958 (The View from the Seventh Floor pp. 39 and 152). Similarly, the Communist planners probed the "free world spectrum of defense" in Northern Azerbaijan and Greece (where Stalin "supported substantial guerrilla warfare"--ibid., pp. 36 and 148), operating from plans carefully laid in 1945. And in Central Europe, the Soviet Union was not "prepared to accept a solution which would remove the dangerous tensions from Central Europe at the risk of even slowly staged corrosion of Communism in East Germany" (ibid., p. 156). It is interesting to compare these observations with studies by scholars actually concerned with historical events. The remark about Stalin's initiating the first Vietnamese war in 1946 does not even merit refutation. As to Hanoi's purported initiative of 1958, the situation is more clouded. But even government sources[5] concede that in 1959 Hanoi received the first direct reports of what Diem referred to[6] as his own Algerian war and that only after this did they lay their plans to involve themselves in this struggle. In fact, in December, 1958, Hanoi made another of its many attempts--rebuffed once again by Saigon and the United States--to establish diplomatic and commercial relations with the Saigon government on the basis of the status quo.[7] Rostow offers no evidence of Stalin's support for the Greek guerrillas; in fact, though the historical record is far from clear, it seems that Stalin was by no means pleased with the adventurism of the Greek guerrillas, who, from his point of view, were upsetting the satisfactory post-war imperialist settlement.[8] Rostow's remarks about Germany are more interesting still. He does not see fit to mention, for example, the Russian notes of March-April, 1952, which proposed unification of Germany under internationally supervised elections, with withdrawal of all troops within a year, if there was a guarantee that a reunified Germany would not be permitted to join a Western military alliance.[9] And he has also momentarily forgotten his own characterization of the strategy of the Truman and Eisenhower administrations: "to avoid any serious negotiation with the Soviet Union until the West could confront Moscow with German rearmament within an organized European framework, as a fait accompli"[10]--to be sure, in defiance of the Potsdam agreements. But most interesting of all is Rostow's reference to Iran. The facts are that there was a Russian attempt to impose by force a pro-Soviet government in Northern Azerbaijan that would grant the Soviet Union access to Iranian oil. This was rebuffed by superior Anglo-American force in 1946, at which point the more powerful imperialism obtained full rights to Iranian oil for itself, with the installation of a pro-Western government. We recall what happened when, for a brief period in the early 1950s, the only Iranian government with something of a popular base experimented with the curious idea that Iranian oil should belong to the Iranians. What is interesting, however, is the description of Northern Azerbaijan as part of "the free world spectrum of defense." It is pointless, by now, to comment on the debasement of the phrase "free world." But by what law of nature does Iran, with its resources, fall within Western dominion? The bland assumption that it does is most revealing of deep-seated attitudes toward the conduct of foreign affairs. IN ADDITION to this growing lack of concern for truth, we find, in recent publish d statements, a real or feigned naivet about American actions that reaches startli g proportions. For example, Arthur Schlesinger, according to th Times, February 6, 1966, characterized our Vietnamese policies of 1954 as "part of our general program of international goodwill." Unless intended as irony, this remark shows either a colossal cynicism, or the inability, on a scale that defies measurement, to comprehend elementary phenomena of contemporary history. Similarly, what is one to make of the testimony of Thomas Schelling before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, January 27, 1965, in which he discusses two great dangers if all Asia "goes Communist"?[11] First, this would exclude "the United States and what we call Western civilization from a large part of the world that is poor and colored and potentially hostile." Second, "a country like the United States probably cannot maintain self-confidence if just about the greatest thing it ever attempted, namely to create the basis for decency and prosperity and democratic government in the underdeveloped world, had to be acknowledged as a failure or as an attempt that we wouldn't try again." It surpasses belief that a person with even a minimal acquaintance with the record of American foreign policy could produce such statements. It surpasses belief, that is, unless we look at the matter from a more historical point of view, and place such statements in the context of the hypocritical moralism of the past; for example, of Woodrow Wilson, who was going to teach the Latin Americans the art of good government, and who wrote (1902) that it is "our peculiar duty" to teach colonial peoples "order and self-control...[and]...the drill and habit of law and obedience...." Or of the missionaries of the 1840s, who described the hideous and degrading opium wars as "the result of a great design of Providence to make the wickedness of men subserve his purposes of mercy toward China, in breaking through her wall of exclusion, and bringing the empire into more immediate contact with western and Christian nations." Or, to approach the present, of A.A. Berle, who, in commenting on the Dominican intervention, has the impertinence to attribute the problems of the Caribbean countries to imperialism--Russian imperialism.[12] AS A FINAL EXAMPLE of this failure of skepticism, consider the remarks of Hen y Kissinger in his concluding remarks at the Harvard-Oxford television debate on America s Vietnam policies. He observed, rather sadly, that what disturbs him most is that others questi n not our judgment, but our motives--a remarkable comment by a man whose profession l concern is political analysis, that is, analysis o the actions of governments in terms of motiv s that are unexpressed in official propaganda and perhaps only dimly perceived by those who e acts they govern. No one would be disturbed by an analysis of the political behavior of t e Russians, French, or Tanzanians questioning their motives and interpreting their actions by t e long-range interests concealed behind their official rhetoric. But it is an article of faith th t American motives are pure, and not subject to analysis (see not 1). Although it is nothing new in American intellectual history--or, for that matter, in the general history of imperialist apologia--this innocence becomes increasingly distasteful as the power it serves grows more dominant in world affairs, and more capable, therefore, of the unconstrained viciousness that the mass media present to us each day. We are hardly the first power in history to combine material interests, great technological capacity, and an utter disregard for the suffering and misery of the lower orders. The long tradition of naivet and self-righteousness that disfigures our intellectual history, however, must serve as a warning to the third world, if such a warning is needed, as to how our protestations of sincerity and benign intent are to be interpreted. The basic assumptions of the "New Frontiersmen" should be pondered carefully by those who look forward to the involvement of academic intellectuals in politics. For example, I have referred above to Arthur Schlesinger's objections to the Bay of Pigs invasion, but the reference was imprecise. True, he felt that it was a "terrible idea," but "not because the notion of sponsoring an exile attempt to overthrow Castro seemed intolerable in itself." Such a reaction would be the merest sentimentality, unthinkable to a tough-minded realist. The difficulty, rather, was that it seemed unlikely that the deception could succeed. The operation, in his view, was ill-conceived but not otherwise objectionable.[13] In a similar vein, Schlesinger quotes with approval Kennedy's "realistic" assessment of the situation resulting from Trujillo's assassination: There are three possibilities in descending order of preference: a decent democratic regime, a continuation of the Trujillo regime or a Castro regime. We ought to aim at the first, but we really can't renounce the second until we are sure that we can avoid the third [p. 769]. The reason why the third possibility is so intolerable is explained a few pages later (p. 774): "Communist success in Latin America would deal a much harder blow to the power and influence of the United States." Of course, we can never really be sure of avoiding the third possibility; therefore, in practice, we will always settle for the second, as we are now doing in Brazil and Argentina, for example.[14] Or consider Walt Rostow's views on American policy in Asia.[15] The basis on which we must build this policy is that "we are openly threatened and we feel menaced by Communist China." To prove that we are menaced is of course unnecessary, and the matter receives no attention; it is enough that we feel menaced. Our policy must be based on our national heritage and our national interests. Our national heritage is briefly outlined in the following terms: "Throughout the nineteenth century, in good conscience Americans could devote themselves to the extension of both their principles and their power on this continent," making use of "the somewhat elastic concept of the Monroe doctrine" and, of course, extending "the American interest to Alaska and the mid-Pacific islands.... Both our insistence on unconditional surrender and the idea of post-war occupation...represented the formulation of American security interests in Europe and Asia." So much for our heritage. As to our interests, the matter is equally simple. Fundamental is our "profound interest that societies abroad develop and strengthen those elements in their respective cultures that elevate and protect the dignity of the individual against the state." At the same time, we must counter the "ideological threat," namely "the possibility that the Chinese Communists can prove to Asians by progress in China that Communist methods are better and faster than democratic methods." Nothing is said about those people in Asian cultures to whom our "conception of the proper relation of the individual to the state" may not be the uniquely important value, people who might, for example, be concerned with preserving the "dignity of the individual" against concentrations of foreign or domestic capital, or against semi-feudal structures (such as Trujillo-type dictatorships) introduced or kept in power by American arms. All of this is flavored with allusions to "our religious and ethical value systems" and to our "diffuse and complex concepts" which are to the Asian mind "so much more difficult to grasp" than Marxist dogma, and are so "disturbing to some Asians" because of "their very lack of dogmatism." Such intellectual contributions as these suggest the need for a correction to De Gaulle's remark, in his Memoirs, about the American "will to power, cloaking itself in idealism." By now, this will to power is not so much cloaked in idealism as it is drowned in fatuity. And academic intellectuals have made their unique contribution to this sorry picture. LET US, HOWEVER, RETURN to the war in Vietnam and the response that it has arous d among American intellectuals. A striking feature of the recent debate on Southeast Asi n policy has been the distinction that is commonly drawn between "responsible criticism," on t e one hand, and "sentimental," or "emotional," or "hysterical" criticism, on the other. There s much to be learned from a careful study of the terms in which this distinction is drawn. T e "hysterical critics" are to be identified, apparently, by their irrational refusal to accept o e fundamental political axiom, namely that the United States has the right to extend its power a d control without limit, insofar as is feasible. Responsible criticism does not challenge th s assumption, but argues, rather, that we probably can't "get away with it" at this particular ti e and plac A distinction of this sort seems to be what Irving Kristol, for example, has in mind in his analysis of the protest over Vietnam policy (Encounter, August, 1965). He contrasts the responsible critics, such as Walter Lippmann, the Times, and Senator Fulbright, with the "teach-in movement." "Unlike the university protesters," he points out, "Mr. Lippmann engages in no presumptuous suppositions as to 'what the Vietnamese people really want'--he obviously doesn't much care--or in legalistic exegesis as to whether, or to what extent, there is 'aggression' or 'revolution' in South Vietnam. His is a realpolitik point of view; and he will apparently even contemplate the possibility of a nuclear war against China in extreme circumstances." This is commendable, and contrasts favorably, for Kristol, with the talk of the "unreasonable, ideological types" in the teach-in movement, who often seem to be motivated by such absurdities as "simple, virtuous 'anti-imperialism,' "who deliver "harangues on 'the power structure,' " and who even sometimes stoop so low as to read "articles and reports from the foreign press on the American presence in Vietnam." Furthermore, these nasty types are often psychologists, mathematicians, chemists, or philosophers (just as, incidentally, those most vocal in protest in the Soviet Union are generally physicists, literary intellectuals, and others remote from the exercise of power), rather than people with Washington contacts, who, of course, realize that "had they a new, good idea about Vietnam, they would get a prompt and respectful hearing" in Washington. I am not interested here in whether Kristol's characterization of protest and dissent is accurate, but rather in the assumptions on which it rests. Is the purity of American motives a matter that is beyond discussion, or that is irrelevant to discussion? Should decisions be left to "experts" with Washington contacts--even if we assume that they command the necessary knowledge and principles to make the "best" decision, will they invariably do so? And, a logically prior question, is "expertise" applicable--that is, is there a body of theory and of relevant information, not in the public domain, that can be applied to the analysis of foreign policy or that demonstrates the correctness of present actions in some way that psychologists, mathematicians, chemists, and philosophers are incapable of comprehending? Although Kristol does not examine these questions directly, his attitude presupposes answers, answers which are wrong in all cases. American aggressiveness, however it may be masked in pious rhetoric, is a dominant force in world affairs and must be analyzed in terms of its causes and motives. There is no body of theory or significant body of relevant information, beyond the comprehension of the layman, which makes policy immune from criticism. To the extent that "expert knowledge" is applied to world affairs, it is surely appropriate--for a person of any integrity, quite necessary--to question its quality and the goals it serves. These facts seem too obvious to require extended discussion. A CORRECTIVE to Kristol's curious belief in the Administration's openness to new thinki g about Vietnam is provided by McGeorge Bundy in a recent issue o Foreign Affairs (January, 1967). As Bundy correctly observes, "on the main stage...the argument on Viet Nam turns on tactics, not fundamentals," although, he adds, "there are wild men in the wings." On stage center are, of course, the President (who in his recent trip to Asia had just "magisterially reaffirmed" our interest "in the progress of the people across the Pacific") and his advisers, who deserve "the understanding support of those who want restraint." It is these men who deserve the credit for the fact that "the bombing of the North has been the most accurate and the most restrained in modern warfare"--a solicitude which will be appreciated by the inhabitants, or former inhabitants of Nam Dinh and Phu Ly and Vinh. It is these men, too, who deserve the credit for what was reported by Malcolm Browne as long ago as May, 1965: In the South, huge sectors of the nation have been declared "free bombing zones," in which anything that moves is a legitimate target. Tens of thousands of tons of bombs, rockets, napalm and cannon fire are poured into these vast areas each week. If only by the laws of chance, bloodshed is believed to be heavy in these raids. Fortunately for the developing countries, Bundy assures us, "American democracy has no taste for imperialism," and "taken as a whole, the stock of American experience, understanding, sympathy and simple knowledge is now much the most impressive in the world." It is true that "four-fifths of all the foreign investing in the world is now done by Americans" and that "the most admired plans and policies...are no better than their demonstrable relation to the American interest"--just as it is true, so we read in the same issue of Foreign Affairs, that the plans for armed action against Cuba were put into motion a few weeks after Mikoyan visited Havana, "invading what had so long been an almost exclusively American sphere of influence." Unfortunately, such facts as these are often taken by unsophisticated Asian intellectuals as indicating a "taste for imperialism." For example, a number of Indians have expressed their "near exasperation" at the fact that "we have done everything we can to attract foreign capital for fertilizer plants, but the American and the other Western private companies know we are over a barrel, so they demand stringent terms which we just cannot meet" (Christian Science Monitor, November 26), while "Washington...doggedly insists that deals be made in the private sector with private enterprise" (ibid., December 5).[16] But this reaction, no doubt, simply reveals, once again, how the Asian mind fails to comprehend the "diffuse and complex concepts" of Western thought. IT MAY BE USEFUL to study carefully the "new, good ideas about Vietnam" that a e receiving a "prompt and respectful hearing" in Washington these days. The US Governme t Printing Office is an endless source of insight into the moral and intellectual level of this expe t advice. In its publications one can read, for example, the testimony of Professor David N. Row , Director of Graduate Studies in International Relations at Yale University, before the Hou e Committee on Foreign Affairs (see not 11). Professor Rowe proposes (p. 266) that the United States buy all surplus Canadian and Australian wheat, so that there will be mass starvation in China. These are his words: Mind you, I am not talking about this as a weapon against the Chinese people. It will be. But that is only incidental. The weapon will be a weapon against the Government because the internal stability of that country cannot be sustained by an unfriendly Government in the face of general starvation. Professor Rowe will have none of the sentimental moralism that might lead one to compare this suggestion with, say, the Ostpolitik of Hitler's Germany.[17] Nor does he fear the impact of such policies on other Asian nations, for example, Japan. He assures us, from his "very long acquaintance with Japanese questions," that "the Japanese above all are people who respect power and determination." Hence "they will not be so much alarmed by American policy in Vietnam that takes off from a position of power and intends to seek a solution based upon the imposition of our power upon local people that we are in opposition to." What would disturb the Japanese is "a policy of indecision, a policy of refusal to face up to the problems [in China and Vietnam] and to meet our responsibilities there in a positive way," such as the way just cited. A conviction that we were "unwilling to use the power that they know we have" might "alarm the Japanese people very intensely and shake the degree of their friendly relations with us." In fact, a full use of American power would be particularly reassuring to the Japanese, because they have had a demonstration "of the tremendous power in action of the United States...because they have felt our power directly." This is surely a prime example of the healthy, "realpolitik point of view" that Irving Kristol so much admires. But, one may ask, why restrict ourselves to such indirect means as mass starvation? Why not bombing? No doubt this message is implicit in the remarks to the same committee of the Reverend R.J. de Jaegher, Regent of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies, Seton Hall University, who explains that like all people who have lived under Communism, the North Vietnamese "would be perfectly happy to be bombed to be free" (p. 345). Of course, there must be those who support the Communists. But this is really a matter of small concern, as the Hon Walter Robertson, Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs from 1953-59, points out in his testimony before the same committee. He assures us that "The Peiping regime...represents something less than 3 per cent of the population" (p. 402). Consider, then, how fortunate the Chinese Communist leaders are, compared to the leaders of the Vietcong, who, according to Arthur Goldberg (New York Times, February 6, 1966), represent about "one-half of one percent of the population of South Vietnam," that is, about one-half the number of new Southern recruits for the Vietcong during 1965, if we can credit Pentagon statistics.[18] In the face of such experts as these, the scientists and philosophers of whom Kristol speaks would clearly do well to continue to draw their circles in the sand. HAVING SETTLED THE ISSUE of the political irrelevance of the protest movemen , Kristol turns to the question of what motivates it--more generally, what has ma e students and junior faculty "go left," as he sees it, amid general prosperity and under libera , Welfare State administrations. This, he notes, "is a riddle to which no sociologist has as y t come up with an answer." Since these young people are well-off, have good futures, etc., the r protest must be irrational. It must be the result of boredom, of too much security, or somethi g of this sor Other possibilities come to mind. It may be, for example, that as honest men the students and junior faculty are attempting to find out the truth for themselves rather than ceding the responsibility to "experts" or to government; and it may be that they react with indignation to what they discover. These possibilities Kristol does not reject. They are simply unthinkable, unworthy of consideration. More accurately, these possibilities are inexpressible; the categories in which they are formulated (honesty, indignation) simply do not exist for the tough-minded social scientist. IN THIS IMPLICIT DISPARAGEMENT of traditional intellectual values, Kristol reflec s attitudes that are fairly widespread in academic circles. I do not doubt that these attitud s are in part a consequence of the desperate attempt of the social and behavioral sciences o imitate the surface features of sciences that really have significant intellectual content. But th y have other sources as well. Anyone can be a moral individual, concerned with human rights a d problems; but only a college professor, a trained expert, can solve technical problems y "sophisticated" methods. Ergo, it is only problems of the latter sort that are important or rea . Responsible, non-ideological experts will give advice on tactical questions; irresponsibl , "ideological types" will "harangue" about principle and trouble themselves over moral issu s and human rights, or over the traditional problems of man and society, concerning which "soci l and behavioral science" has nothing to offer beyond trivalities. Obviously, these emotiona , ideological types are irrational, since, being well-off and having power in their grasp, th y shouldn't worry about such matter At times this pseudo-scientific posing reaches levels that are almost pathological. Consider the phenomenon of Herman Kahn, for example. Kahn has been both denounced as immoral and lauded for his courage. By people who should know better, his On Thermonuclear War has been described "without qualification...[as]...one of the great works of our time" (Stuart Hughes). The fact of the matter is that this is surely one of the emptiest works of our time, as can be seen by applying to it the intellectual standards of any existing discipline, by tracing some of its "well-documented conclusions" to the "objective studies" from which they derive, and by following the line of argument, where detectable. Kahn proposes no theories, no explanations, no factual assumptions that can be tested against their consequences, as do the sciences he is attempting to mimic. He simply suggests a terminology and provides a facade of rationality. When particular policy conclusions are drawn, they are supported only by ex cathedra remarks for which no support is even suggested (e.g., "The civil defense line probably should be drawn somewhere below $5 billion annually" to keep from provoking the Russians--why not $50 billion, or $5.00?). What is more, Kahn is quite aware of this vacuity; in his more judicious moments he claims only that "there is no reason to believe that relatively sophisticated models are more likely to be misleading than the simpler models and analogies frequently used as an aid to judgment." For those whose humor tends towards the macabre, it is easy to play the game of "strategic thinking" la Kahn, and to prove what one wishes. For example, one of Kahn's basic assumptions is that an all-out surprise attack in which all resources are devoted to counter-value targets would be so irrational that, barring an incredible lack of sophistication or actual insanity among Soviet decision makers, such an attack is highly unlikely. A simple argument proves the opposite. Premise 1: American decision-makers think along the lines outlined by Herman Kahn. Premise 2: Kahn thinks it would be better for everyone to be red than for everyone to be dead. Premise 3: if the Americans were to respond to an all-out countervalue attack, then everyone would be dead. Conclusion: the Americans will not respond to an all-out countervalue attack, and therefore it should be launched without delay. Of course, one can carry the argument a step further. Fact: the Russians have not carried out an all-out countervalue attack. It follows that they are not rational. If they are not rational, there is no point in "strategic thinking." Therefore,.... Of course this is all nonsense, but nonsense that differs from Kahn's only in the respect that the argument is of slightly greater complexity than anything to be discovered in his work. What is remarkable is that serious people actually pay attention to these absurdities, no doubt because of the facade of tough-mindedness and pseudo-science. IT IS A CURIOUS and depressing fact that the "anti-war movement" falls prey all too often o similar confusions. In the fall of 1965, for example, there was an International Conference n Alternative Perspectives on Vietnam, which circulated a pamphlet to potential participan s stating its assumptions. The plan was to set up study groups in which three "types of intellectu l tradition" will be represented: (1) area specialists; (2) "social theory, with special emphasis n theories of the international system, of social change and development, of conflict and confli t resolution, or of revolution"; (3) "the analysis of public policy in terms of basic human value , rooted in various theological, philosophical and humanist traditions." The second intellectu l tradition will provide "general propositions, derived from social theory and tested again t historical, comparative, or experimental data"; the third "will provide the framework out f which fundamental value questions can be raised and in terms of which the moral implicatio s of societal actions can be analyzed." The hope was that "by approaching the questions [ f Vietnam policy] from the moral perspectives of all great religions and philosophical systems, e may find solutions that are more consistent with fundamental human values than curre t American policy in Vietnam has turned out to be In short, the experts on values (i.e., spokesmen for the great religions and philosophical systems) will provide fundamental insights on moral perspectives, and the experts on social theory will provide general empirically validated propositions and "general models of conflict." From this interplay, new policies will emerge, presumably from application of the canons of scientific method. The only debatable issue, it seems to me, is whether it is more ridiculous to turn to experts in social theory for general well-confirmed propositions, or to the specialists in the great religions and philosophical systems for insights into fundamental human values. There is much more that can be said about this topic, but, without continuing, I would simply like to emphasize that, as is no doubt obvious, the cult of the experts is both self-serving, for those who propound it, and fraudulent. Obviously, one must learn from social and behavioral science whatever one can; obviously, these fields should be pursued as seriously as possible. But it will be quite unfortunate, and highly dangerous, if they are not accepted and judged on their merits and according to their actual, not pretended, accomplishments. In particular, if there is a body of theory, well-tested and verified, that applies to the conduct of foreign affairs or the resolution of domestic or international conflict, its existence has been kept a well-guarded secret. In the case of Vietnam, if those who feel themselves to be experts have access to principles or information that would justify what the American government is doing in that unfortunate country, they have been singularly ineffective in making this fact known. To anyone who has any familiarity with the social and behavioral sciences (or the "policy sciences"), the claim that there are certain considerations and principles too deep for the outsider to comprehend is simply an absurdity, unworthy of comment. WHEN WE CONSIDER the responsibility of intellectuals, our basic concern must be the r role in the creation and analysis of ideology. And, in fact, Kristol's contrast between t e unreasonable ideological types and the responsible experts is formulated in terms th t immediately bring to mind Daniel Bell's interesting and influential "The End of Ideology," n essay which is as important for what it leaves unsaid as for its actual conten [19] Bell presents and discusses the Marxist analysis of ideology as a mask for class interest, quoting Marx's well-known description of the belief of the bourgeoisie "that the special conditions of its emancipation are the general conditions through which alone modern society can be saved and the class struggle avoided." He then argues that the age of ideology is ended, supplanted, at least in the West, by a general agreement that each issue must be settled in its own terms, within the framework of a Welfare State in which, presumably, experts in the conduct of public affairs will have a prominent role. Bell is quite careful, however, to characterize the precise sense of "ideology" in which "ideologies are exhausted." He is referring to ideology only as "the conversion of ideas into social levers," to ideology as "a set of beliefs, infused with passion,...[which] ...seeks to transform the whole of a way of life." The crucial words are "transform" and "convert into social levers." Intellectuals in the West, he argues, have lost interest in converting ideas into social levers for the radical transformation of society. Now that we have achieved the pluralistic society of the Welfare State, they see no further need for a radical transformation of society; we may tinker with our way of life here and there, but it would be wrong to try to modify it in any significant way. With this consensus of intellectuals, ideology is dead. There are several striking facts about Bell's essay. First, he does not point out the extent to which this consensus of the intellectuals is self-serving. He does not relate his observation that, by and large, intellectuals have lost interest in "transforming the whole of a way of life" to the fact that they play an increasingly prominent role in running the Welfare State; he does not relate their general satisfaction with the Welfare State to the fact that, as he observes elsewhere, "America has become an affluent society, offering place...and prestige...to the onetime radicals." Secondly, he offers no serious argument to show that intellectuals are somehow "right" or "objectively justified" in reaching the consensus to which he alludes, with its rejection of the notion that society should be transformed. Indeed, although Bell is fairly sharp about the empty rhetoric of the "new left," he seems to have a quite utopian faith that technical experts will be able to cope with the few problems that still remain; for example, the fact that labor is treated as a commodity, and the problems of "alienation." It seems fairly obvious that the classical problems are very much with us; one might plausibly argue that they have even been enhanced in severity and scale. For example, the classical paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty is now an ever-increasing problem on an international scale. Whereas one might conceive, at least in principle, of a solution within national boundaries, a sensible idea of transforming international society to cope with vast and perhaps increasing human misery is hardly likely to develop within the framework of the intellectual consensus that Bell describes. THUS IT WOULD SEEM NATURAL to describe the consensus of Bell's intellectuals n somewhat different terms from his. Using the terminology of th first part of his essay, e might say that the Welfare State technician finds justification for his special and promine t social status in his "science," specifically, in the claim that social science can support a technology of social tinkering on a domestic or international scale. He then takes a further ste , ascribing in a familiar way a universal validity to what is in fact a class interest: he argues th t the special conditions on which his claim to power and authority are based are, in fact, the on y general conditions by which modern society can be saved; that social tinkering within a Welfa e State framework must replace the commitment to the "total ideologies" of the past, ideologi s which were concerned with a transformation of society. Having found his position of powe , having achieved security and affluence, he has no further need for ideologies that look to radic l change. The scholar-expert replaces the "free-floating intellectual" who "felt that the wro g values were being honored, and rejected the society," and who has now lost his political ro e (now, that is, that the right values are being honored Conceivably, it is correct that the technical experts who will (or hope to) manage the "industrial society" will be able to cope with the classical problems without a radical transformation of society. It is conceivably true that the bourgeoisie was right in regarding the special conditions of its emancipation as the only general conditions by which modern society would be saved. In either case, an argument is in order, and skepticism is justified when none appears. Within the same framework of general utopianism, Bell goes on to pose the issue between Welfare State scholar-experts and third-world ideologists in a rather curious way. He points out, quite correctly, that there is no issue of Communism, the content of that doctrine having been "long forgotten by friends and foes alike." Rather, he says, the question is an older one: whether new societies can grow by building democratic institutions and allowing people to make choices--and sacrifices--voluntarily, or whether the new elites, heady with power, will impose totalitarian means to transform their societies. THE QUESTION is an interesting one. It is odd, however, to see it referred to as "an old r one." Surely he cannot be suggesting that the West chose the democratic way--for exampl , that in England during the industrial revolution, the farmers voluntarily made the choice f leaving the land, giving up cottage industry, becoming an industrial proletariat, and voluntari y decided, within the framework of the existing democratic institutions, to make the sacrific s that are graphically described in the classic literature on nineteenth-century industrial societ . One may debate the question whether authoritarian control is necessary to permit capit l accumulation in the underdeveloped world, but the Western model of development is hard y one that we can point to with any pride. It is perhaps not surprising to find Walt Rost w referring to "the more humane processes [of industrialization] that Western values wou d suggest" An American Policy in Asia). Those who have a serious concern for the problems that face backward countries, and for the role that advanced industrial societies might, in principle, play in development and modernization, must use somewhat more care in interpreting the significance of the Western experience. Returning to the quite appropriate question, whether "new societies can grow by building democratic institutions" or only by totalitarian means, I think that honesty requires us to recognize that this question must be directed more to American intellectuals than to third-world ideologists. The backward countries have incredible, perhaps insurmountable problems, and few available options; the United States has a wide range of options, and has the economic and technological resources, though, evidently, neither the intellectual nor moral resources, to confront at least some of these problems. It is easy for an American intellectual to deliver homilies on the virtues of freedom and liberty, but if he is really concerned about, say, Chinese totalitarianism or the burdens imposed on the Chinese peasantry in forced industrialization, then he should face a task that is infinitely more important and challenging--the task of creating, in the United States, the intellectual and moral climate, as well as the social and economic conditions, that would permit this country to participate in modernization and development in a way commensurate with its material wealth and technical capacity. Large capital gifts to Cuba and China might not succeed in alleviating the authoritarianism and terror that tend to accompany early stages of capital accumulation, but they are far more likely to have this effect than lectures on democratic values. It is possible that even without "capitalist encirclement" in its various manifestations, the truly democratic elements in revolutionary movements--in some instances, soviets and collectives--might be undermined by an "elite" of bureaucrats and technical intelligentsia. But it is almost certain that capitalist encirclement itself, which all revolutionary movements now have to face, will guarantee this result. The lesson, for those who are concerned to strengthen the democratic, spontaneous, and popular elements in developing societies, is quite clear. Lectures on the two-party system, or even on the really substantial democratic values that have been in part realized in Western society, are a monstrous irrelevance, given the effort required to raise the level of culture in Western society to the point where it can provide a "social lever" for both economic development and the development of true democratic institutions in the third world--and, for that matter, at home. A GOOD CASE CAN BE MADE for the conclusion that there is indeed something of a consensus among intellectuals who have already achieved power and affluence, or w o sense that they can achieve them by "accepting society" as it is and promoting the values that a e "being honored" in this society. It is also true that this consensus is most noticeable among t e scholar-experts who are replacing the free-floating intellectuals of the past. In the universit , these scholar-experts construct a "value-free technology" for the solution of technical proble s that arise in contemporary societ [20] taking a "responsible stance" towards these problems, in the sense noted earlier. This consensus among the responsible scholar-experts is the domestic analogue to that proposed, internationally, by those who justify the application of American power in Asia, whatever the human cost, on the grounds that it is necessary to contain the "expansion of China" (an "expansion" which is, to be sure, hypothetical for the time being)[21]--that is, to translate from State Department Newspeak, on the grounds that it is essential to reverse the Asian nationalist revolutions or, at least, to prevent them from spreading. The analogy becomes clear when we look carefully at the ways in which this proposal is formulated. With his usual lucidity, Churchill outlined the general position in a remark to his colleague of the moment, Joseph Stalin, at Teheran in 1943: The government of the world must be entrusted to satisfied nations, who wished nothing more for themselves than what they had. If the world-government were in the hands of hungry nations there would always be danger. But none of us had any reason to seek for anything more.... Our power placed us above the rest. We were like the rich men dwelling at peace within their habitations. For a translation of Churchill's biblical rhetoric into the jargon of contemporary social science, one may turn to the testimony of Charles Wolf, Senior Economist of the Rand Corporation, at the Congressional Committee Hearings cited earlier: I am dubious that China's fears of encirclement are going to be abated, eased, relaxed in the long-term future. But I would hope that what we do in Southeast Asia would help to develop within the Chinese body politic more of a realism and willingness to live with this fear than to indulge it by support for liberation movements, which admittedly depend on a great deal more than external support...the operational question for American foreign policy is not whether that fear can be eliminated or substantially alleviated, but whether China can be faced with a structure of incentives, of penalties and rewards, of inducements that will make it willing to live with this fear. The point is further clarified by Thomas Schelling: "There is growing experience, which the Chinese can profit from, that although the United States may be interested in encircling them, may be interested in defending nearby areas from them, it is, nevertheless, prepared to behave peaceably if they are." In short, we are prepared to live peaceably in our--to be sure, rather extensive--habitations. And, quite naturally, we are offended by the undignified noises from the servants' quarters. If, let us say, a peasant-based revolutionary movement tries to achieve independence from foreign powers and the domestic structures they support, or if the Chinese irrationally refuse to respond properly to the schedule of reinforcement that we have prepared for them--if they object to being encircled by the benign and peace-loving "rich men" who control the territories on their borders as a natural right--then, evidently, we must respond to this belligerence with appropriate force. IT IS THIS MENTALITY that explains the frankness with which the United Stat s Government and its academic apologists defend the American refusal to permit a politic l settlement in Vietnam at a local level, a settlement based on the actual distribution of politic l forces. Even government experts freely admit that the NLF is the only "truly mass-bas d political party in South Vietna [22] ; that the NLF had "made a conscious and massive effort to extend political participation, even if it was manipulated, on the local level so as to involve the people in a self-contained, self-supporting revolution" (p. 374); and that this effort had been so successful that no political groups, "with the possible exception of the Buddhists, thought themselves equal in size and power to risk entering into a coalition, fearing that if they did the whale would swallow the minnow" (p. 362). Moreover, they concede that until the introduction of overwhelming American force, the NLF had insisted that the struggle "should be fought out at the political level and that the use of massed military might was in itself illegitimate.... The battleground was to be the minds and loyalties of the rural Vietnamese, the weapons were to be ideas" (pp. 91-92; cf. also pp. 93, 99-108, 155f.); and, correspondingly, that until mid-1964, aid from Hanoi "was largely confined to two areas--doctrinal know-how and leadership personnel" (p. 321). Captured NLF documents contrast the enemy's "military superiority" with their own "political superiority" (p. 106), thus fully confirming the analysis of American military spokesmen who define our problem as how, "with considerable armed force but little political power, [to] contain an adversary who has enormous political force but only modest military power."[23] Similarly, the most striking outcome of both the Honolulu conference in February and the Manila conference in October was the frank admission by high officials of the Saigon government that "they could not survive a 'peaceful settlement' that left the Vietcong political structure in place even if the Vietcong guerilla units were disbanded," that "they are not able to compete politically with the Vietnamese Communists" (Charles Mohr, New York Times, February 11, 1966, italics mine). Thus, Mohr continues, the Vietnamese demand a "pacification program" which will have as "its core...the destruction of the clandestine Vietcong political structure and the creation of an iron-like system of government political control over the population." And from Manila, the same correspondent, on October 23, quotes a high South Vietnamese official as saying that: Frankly, we are not strong enough now to compete with the Communists on a purely political basis. They are organized and disciplined. The non-Communist nationalists are not--we do not have any large, well-organized political parties and we do not yet have unity. We cannot leave the Vietcong in existence. Officials in Washington understand the situation very well. Thus Secretary Rusk has pointed out that "if the Vietcong come to the conference table as full partners they will, in a sense, have been victorious in the very aims that South Vietnam and the United States are pledged to prevent" (January 28, 1966). Max Frankel reported from Washington in the Times on February 18, 1966, that Compromise has had no appeal here because the Administration concluded long ago that the non-Communist forces of South Vietnam could not long survive in a Saigon coalition with Communists. It is for that reason--and not because of an excessively rigid sense of protocol--that Washington has steadfastly refused to deal with the Vietcong or recognize them as an independent political force. In short, we will--magnanimously--permit Vietcong representatives to attend negotiations only if they will agree to identify themselves as agents of a foreign power and thus forfeit the right to participate in a coalition government, a right which they have now been demanding for a half-dozen years. We well know that in any representative coalition, our chosen delegates could not last a day without the support of American arms. Therefore, we must increase American force and resist meaningful negotiations, until the day when a client government can exert both military and political control over its own population--a day which may never dawn, for as William Bundy has pointed out, we could never be sure of the security of a Southeast Asia "from which the Western presence was effectively withdrawn." Thus if we were to "negotiate in the direction of solutions that are put under the label of neutralization," this would amount to capitulation to the Communists.[24] According to this reasoning, then, South Vietnam must remain, permanently, an American military base. All of this is, of course, reasonable, so long as we accept the fundamental political axiom that the United States, with its traditional concern for the rights of the weak and downtrodden, and with its unique insight into the proper mode of development for backward countries, must have the courage and the persistence to impose its will by force until such time as other nations are prepared to accept these truths--or simply, to abandon hope. IF IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY of the intellectual to insist upon the truth, it is also his du y to see events in their historical perspective. Thus one must applaud the insistence of t e Secretary of State on the importance of historical analogies, the Munich analogy, for exampl . As Munich showed, a powerful and aggressive nation with a fanatic belief in its manifest desti y will regard each victory, each extension of its power and authority, as a prelude to the next ste . The matter was very well put by Adlai Stevenson, when he spoke of "the old, old route where y expansive powers push at more and more doors, believing they will open until, at the ultima e door, resistance is unavoidable and major war breaks out." Herein lies the danger f appeasement, as the Chinese tirelessly point out to the Soviet Union--which, they claim, s playing Chamberlain to our Hitler in Vietnam. Of course, the aggressiveness of liber l imperialism is not that of Nazi Germany, though the distinction may seem academic to a Vietnamese peasant who is being gassed or incinerated. We do not want to occupy Asia; e merely wish, to return to Mr. Wolf, "to help the Asian countries progress toward econom c modernization, as relatively 'open' and stable societies, to which our access, as a country and s individual citizens, is free and comfortable." The formulation is appropriate. Recent histo y shows that it makes little difference to us what form of government a country has so long as t remains an "open society," in our peculiar sense of this term--that is, a society that remai s open to American economic penetration or political control. If it is necessary to approa h genocide in Vietnam to achieve this objective, than this is the price we must pay in defense f freedom and the rights of ma In pursuing the aim of helping other countries to progress toward open societies, with no thought of territorial aggrandizement, we are breaking no new ground. In the Congressional Hearings that I cited earlier, Hans Morgenthau aptly describes our traditional policy towards China as one which favors "what you might call freedom of competition with regard to the exploitation of China" (op. cit., p. 128). In fact, few imperialist powers have had explicit territorial ambitions. Thus in 1784, the British Parliament announced: "To pursue schemes of conquest and extension of dominion in India are measures repugnant to the wish, honor, and policy of this nation." Shortly after this, the conquest of India was in full swing. A century later, Britain announced its intentions in Egypt under the slogan "intervention, reform, withdrawal." It is obvious which parts of this promise were fulfilled within the next half-century. In 1936, on the eve of hostilities in North China, the Japanese stated their Basic Principles of National Policy. These included the use of moderate and peaceful means to extend her strength, to promote social and economic development, to eradicate the menace of Communism, to correct the aggressive policies of the great powers, and to secure her position as the stabilizing power in East Asia. Even in 1937, the Japanese government had "no territorial designs upon China." In short, we follow a well-trodden path. It is useful to remember, incidentally, that the US was apparently quite willing, as late as 1939, to negotiate a commercial treaty with Japan and arrive at a modus vivendi if Japan would "change her attitude and practice towards our rights and interests in China," as Secretary Hull put it. The bombing of Chungking and the rape of Nanking were unpleasant, it is true, but what was really important was our rights and interests in China, as the responsible, unhysterical men of the day saw quite clearly. It was the closing of the open door by Japan that led inevitably to the Pacific war, just as it is the closing of the open door by "Communist" China itself that may very well lead to the next, and no doubt last, Pacific war. QUITE OFTEN, THE STATEMENTS of sincere and devoted technical expert gi e surprising insight into the intellectual attitudes that lie in the background of the late t savagery. Consider, for example, the following comment by the economist Richard Lindholm, n 1959, expressing his frustration over the failure of economic development in "free Vietnam ...the use of American aid is determined by how the Vietnamese use their incomes and their savings. The fact that a large portion of the Vietnamese imports financed with American aid are either consumer goods or raw materials used rather directly to meet consumer demands is an indication that the Vietnamese people desire these goods. for they have shown their desire by their willingness to use their piasters to purchase them.[25] In short, the Vietnamese people desire Buicks and air-conditioners, rather than sugar refining equipment or road-building machinery, as they have shown by their behavior in a free market. And however much we may deplore their free choice, we must allow the people to have their way. Of course, there are also those two-legged beasts of burden that one stumbles on in the countryside, but as any graduate student of political science can explain, they are not part of a responsible modernizing elite, and therefore have only a superficial biological resemblance to the human race. In no small measure, it is attitudes like this that lie behind the butchery in Vietnam, and we had better face up to them with candor, or we will find our government leading us towards a "final solution" in Vietnam, and in the many Vietnams that inevitably lie ahead. Let me finally return to Dwight Macdonald and the responsibility of intellectuals. Macdonald quotes an interview with a death-camp paymaster who burst into tears when told that the Russians would hang him. "Why should they? What have I done?" he asked. Macdonald concludes: "Only those who are willing to resist authority themselves when it conflicts too intolerably with their personal moral code, only they have the right to condemn the death-camp paymaster." The question, "What have I done?" is one that we may well ask ourselves, as we read each day of fresh atrocities in Vietnam--as we create, or mouth, or tolerate the deceptions that will be used to justify the next defense of freedom. Email to a friend Notes [1] Such a research project has now been undertaken and published as a "Citizens' White Paper": F. Schurmann, P. D. Scott, R. Zelnik, The Politics of Escalation in Vietnam, Fawcett World Library, and Beacon Press, 1966. For further evidence of American rejection of UN initiatives for diplomatic settlement, just prior to the major escalation of February, 1965, see Mario Rossi, "The US Rebuff to U Thant," NYR, November 17, 1966. There is further documentary evidence of NLF attempts to establish a coalition government and to neutralize the area, all rejected by the United States and its Saigon ally, in Douglas Pike, Viet Cong, M.I.T. Press, 1966. In reading material of this latter sort one must be especially careful to distinguish between the evidence presented and the "conclusions" that are asserted, for reasons noted briefly below (see note 22). It is interesting to see the first, somewhat oblique, published reactions to The Politics of Escalation, by those who defend our right to conquer South Vietnam and institute a government of our choice. For example, Robert Scalapino (New York Times Magazine, December 11, 1966) argues that the thesis of the book implies that our leaders are "diabolical." Since no right-thinking person can believe this, the thesis is refuted. To assume otherwise would betray "irresponsibility," in a unique sense of this term--a sense that gives an ironic twist to the title of this essay. He goes on to point out the alleged central weakness in the argument of the book, namely, the failure to perceive that a serious attempt on our part to pursue the possibilities for a diplomatic settlement would have been interpreted by our adversaries as a sign of weakness. [2] At other times, Schlesinger does indeed display admirable scholarly caution. For example, in his Introduction to The Politics of Escalation he admits that there may have been "flickers of interest in negotiations" on the part of Hanoi. As to the Administration's lies about negotiations and its repeated actions undercutting tentative initiatives towards negotiations, he comments only that the authors may have underestimated military necessity and that future historians may prove them wrong. This caution and detachment must be compared with Schlesinger's attitude toward renewed study of the origins of the cold war: in a letter to the New York Review of Books, October 20, 1966, he remarks that it is time to "blow the whistle" on revisionist attempts to show that the cold war may have been the consequence of something more than mere Communist belligerence. We are to believe, then, that the relatively straight-forward matter of the origins of the cold war is settled beyond discussion, whereas the much more complex issue of why the United States shies away from a negotiated settlement in Vietnam must be left to future historians to ponder. It is useful to bear in mind that the United States Government itself is on occasion much less diffident in explaining why it refuses to contemplate a meaningful negotiated settlement. As is freely admitted, this solution would leave it without power to control the situation. See, for example note 26. [3] Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., A Thousand Days; John F. Kennedy in the White House, 1965, p. 421. [4] The View from the Seventh Floor, Harper and Row, 1964, p. 149. See also his United States in the World Arena, Harper and Row, 1960, p. 244: "Stalin, exploiting the disruption and weakness of the postwar world, pressed out from the expanded base he had won during the second World War in an effort to gain the balance of power in Eurasia...turning to the East, to back Mao and to enflame the North Korean and Indochinese Communists..." [5] For example, the article by cia analyst George Carver placed in Foreign Affairs, April, 1966. See also note 22. [6] Cf. Jean Lacouture, Vietnam between Two Truces, Random House, 1966, p. 21. Diem's analysis of the situation was shared by Western observers at the time. See, for example, the comments of William Henderson, Far Eastern specialist and executive, Council on Foreign Relations, in R. W. Lindholm, ed., Vietnam: The First Five Years, Michigan State, 1959. He notes "the growing alienation of the intelligentsia," "the renewal of armed dissidence in the South," the fact that "security has noticeably deteriorated in the last two years," all as a result of Diem's "grim dictatorship," and predicts "a steady worsening of the political climate in free Vietnam, culminating in unforeseen disasters." [7] See Bernard Fall, "Vietnam in the Balance," Foreign Affairs, October, 1966.

Leo Furcht, M.D. & William Hoffman copyright 2008 Preface xxiii Thirty years later, again at the University of Minnesota, the gender tables were turned: a brother rescued his sister. As you will learn in more detail in chapter 1, six-year-old Molly Nash suffered from Fanconi anemia, a severe blood disease. To save her, her parents, Lisa and Jack Nash, produced a number of embryos through in vitro fertilization, (my note: to make sure Molly's sibling-to-be does not have the same condition as her...), one of which became Molly's sibling, Adam Nash. Molly's recovery began the day in September 2000 that stem cells from Adam's umbilical cord, which matched her tissue, entered her body. p92. The story of Molly Nash and her brother Adam is a story of intervention in nature's way. To some people it is a story of intervention in God's way, in God's plan. Lisa Nash told The Denver Post that they had received a letter from the Vatican excommunicating them from the Catholic Church, even though they are Jewish... OOPS.. 'First' family Nash got spam mail from Vatican? That's pretty funny and I don't believe it... ultimate health insurance for the whole family... p71 If there is a story of human regeneration research that trumps others, it may well be the discovery that the fetus gives mothers a gift of regenerative stemlike cells long before it becomes a baby. Researchs led by Diana Bianchi at Tufts - New England Medical Center found that fetal cells in the mother's uterus actually have some characteristics of stem cells. These fetal cells appear to circulate throughout the mother's body. They can be found in the largest numbers in the mother's organs and tissues that are diseased or injured, where they may serve the purpose of helping to heal. What makes the baby's stem cells go into the bloodstream of its mother? Might it be a way for the baby to aid the mother if she were injured or had a wound, thus improving the odds that both baby and mother will survive? A companion study by Hugh Taylor of the Yale University School of Medicine showed that stem cells from bone marrow can help regenerate endometrial tissue, some of the tissue that mkes up the uterus. The uterus can now be thought of as " a bidirectional conduit for stem cell transfer, " wrote Mary Lake Polan and Mylene W.M. Yao of Standford University School of Medicine. With better understanding of how these cells function, the time may come soon "when the prenatal child heals the mother and perhaps in the far distant future becomes the ultimate health insurance for the whole family." Thus it may be that the uterus, first accurately represented by Leonardo da Vinci in his anatomical drawings five hundred years ago, is a dynamic gateway to tissue and organ regeneration and repair, trafficking in stem cells as well as nurturing the next generation of a species. Yet it is the organs that flank the uterus, the overies, where the real biological mysteries reside. That's because it is the egg that is the lead player, and it is the bearer of eggs, the women of the world, who are the focus of new reproductive technologies and stem cell research. With its ability to reprogram the human cell research. With its ability to reprogram the human genome and its potential to produce embryonic stem cells tailor-made for treating patients without the risks of rejction, the egg reigns supreme.

Bohr was the Danish physicist and Nobel Laureate who urged Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill to commit to the peaceful development of nuclear power, but failed. Bohr was a philosophical descendant of the ancient Roman poet Lucretius, who wrote that bodies are composed of minute, indivisible particles of matter called atoms. Lucretius wrote in his poem On the Nature of Things during the darkest days of Rom: "The dread and darkness othe mind cannot be dispelled by the sunbeams, the shining shafts of day, but only by an understanding of the outward form and inner workings of nature." ...

Rest with your dream in my dream. Love and pain and work should all sleep now. The night turns on its invisible wheels, And you are pure beside me as a sleeping amber. No one else, Love, will sleep in my dreams. You will go, we will go together over the waters of time. No one else will travel through the shadows with me, Only you, ever green, ever sun, ever moon. Your hands have already opened their delicate fists And let their soft drifting signs drop away; Your eyes closed like two gray wings, and I move After, following the folding water you carry, that carries me away.

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. Through nights like this one I held her in my arms. I kissed her again and again under the endless sky. She loved me, sometimes I loved her too. How could one not have loved her great still eyes? Tonight I can write the saddest lines. To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her. To hear the immense night, still more immense without her. And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture. What does it matter that my love could not keep her. The night is starry and she is not with me. This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance. My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer. My heart looks for her, and she is not with me. The same night whitening the same trees. We, of that time, are no longer the same. I no longer love her, that?s certain, but how I loved her. My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing. Another?s. She will be another?s. As she was before my kisses. Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes. I no longer love her, that?s certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long. Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti walking around It so happens I am sick of being a man hearing voices ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti creepy walking around... i don't care about you walking around. seriously. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti forgetful is the key $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti my calling my calling is simple: to spend money whenver and wherever I feel like it... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti a tale of two gardens [ either Eliot's translation or the formatting is terrible here... but for later...

Summer, enormous mouth, vowel made of fumes and panting! This day wounded to death creeping along the length of time and never finished with dying, and the day to come, now scraping impatiently at the no-man's-land of dawn, and the rest waiting their hour in the vast stables of the year, this day and its four pups, morning with its crystal tail and noon with its one eye, noon absorbed in its light, seated in splendor, afternoon rich in birds, night with its bright stars armed and in full regalia, this day and the presences that the sun exalts or pulls down with a simple wingblow: the girl who appears in the street and is a stream of quiet freshness, the beggar raising himself up like a feeble prayer, a heap of garbage and whining canticles, red bougainvillea black through darkness of red, purple in accumulated blue, women bricklayers carrying stones on their heads as if they carried extinguished suns, the beauty in her cave of stalactites, the sound of her scorpion's scales, the man covered with ashes who worships the phallus, dung and water, musicians who tear sparks out of daybreak and make the airy tempest of the dance come down to earth, the collar of sparkle, electric garlands in equilibrium at midnight, the sleepless children picking fleas by moonlight, fathers and mothers with their family flocks and their beasts asleep and their gods petrified a thousand years ago, butterflies, vultures, snakes, monkeys, cows, insects looking like madness, all this long day with its frightful cargo of beings and things slowly being stranded on suspended time. We all go declining with the day, we all enter the tunnel, we cross through endless galleries whose walls of solid air close behind us, we imprison ourselves in ourselves and at each step the human animal pants and topples, we fall back, we give our ground, the animal loses the future at each step, that which is erect and hard and bony in ourselves finally gives way, falling heavily into the mother mouth. Within myself I crowd myself, in my own self I press myself and as I crowd myself I overflow, I am extended and I expand, the full one, spilling and filling myself, there is no vertigo nor mirror nor nausea facing the mirror, there is no downfall, only a being, an overflowing being, full to the brim, and adrift: not like the bow that curves and arches on itself to let the arrow leap straight to the mark, not like the breast that awaits it, on whom hope already draws the wound, not concentrated nor in trance, but tumbling from step to step, spilled water, we return to the origin. And the head falls on the breast and body falls on body without finding its goal, its final body. No, take hold of the ancient image: anchor existence and plant it in the stone, base of the lightning! Some stones never give way, stones made of time, time made of stone, centuries that are columns, assemblies singing the hymns of stone, fountains of jade, obsidian gardens, towers of marble, high beauty armed against time. One day my hand brushed against all that constructed glory. Stones also lose their footing, stones too are images, and they fall and they scatter and mix and flow with the flowing river. The stones also are the river. Where is the man who gives life to the stones of the dead, the man who makes the stones and the dead speak? Foundations of stone and of music, the factory that produces the mirrors of discourse and the poem's castle of fire entwine their roots in his breast, rest in his head; his hand sustains them. Under the breastplate of rock-crystal I searched for the man, groped for the imperceptible opening; we are born and the rent is no more than a scratch and it never scars over and it burns and it is a star giving off its own light, the little wound never quenched, the sign of the blood never erased, through that door we go down to the dark. Man also flows, man also falls and is an image that vanishes. Marshes of lethargy, accretions of algae, bees in cataracts over half-open eyes, a feast of sand, hours chewed, images chewed, life chewed centuries with no existence other than ecstatic chaos which floats among the sleeping waters, water of eyes, water of mouths, wedding waters lost in contemplation, water of incest, water of gods, copulation of gods, water of stars and reptiles, water-forests of burnt bodies, beatitude of fullness, overflowing itself, we are not, I do not want to be God, I do not want to grope in the dark, I will not return, I am a man and man is man, he who leapt to the void and since then nothing has sustained him but his own wing, the one who let go of his mother, the exiled, rootless, with neither heaven nor earth, a bridge, a bow stretched over nothing, in himself unified, made whole, and nevertheless split from the moment of his birth, struggling against his shadow, always running behind himself, blundering, exhausted, without ever reaching himself, condemned from childhood, alembic of time, king of himself, son of his own works. The ultimate images overthrown, the black river drowns consciousness, night doubles over, the soul gives way, clusters of confounded hours fall, man falls like a star, the clusters of stars fall, like overripe fruit the world and its suns fall. But in my head keep vigil adolescence and its images, the only treasure not ravaged: ships afire on seas still unnamed and each wave striking memory in a storm of reminders (fresh water in the island cisterns, fresh water of women and their voices sounding through the night like many streams meeting, goddess of green eyes and human words who planted in our breast her reasons, a lovely procession of lances, the calm reflection before a sphere, swollen with itself like an ear of wheat, but immortal, perfect, sufficient, contemplation of numbers that join like notes or lovers, the universe like a lyre, a bow, the victorious geometry of gods, sole abode that is worthy of man!) and the high-walled city that on the plain glitters like a jewel in pain and demolished watch-towers and the champion defeated and in the smoking chambers the treasure of women and the hero's epitaph stuck in the road at the narrow place like a sword and the poem rising and covering with its wings the embrace of day and night and the straight tree of discourse planted in potency in the middle of the city and justice in the open air of a people who weighs each act in the scale of a delicate spirit sensitive to the weight of light; acts, the high pyres burnt by history! Under these black remains asleep, truth, who roused the works: man is only man among men. And I reach down and grasp the incandescent grain and plant it in my being: it must grow one day.

Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching. Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes. I am not young enough to know everything. I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect. I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not. Ordinary riches can be stolen; real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you. Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow. The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame. The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything. True friends stab you in the front. Why was I born with such contemporaries? The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation. Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly. Illusion is the first of all pleasures. I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works. Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

The word is humpbacked, ugly, portending a monstrous outcome: like antebellum or octoroon, it evokes images of another era, a distant world of horsewhips and flames, dead magnolias and crumbling porticos. And yet it wasn't until 1967 - the year I celebrated my sixth birthday and Jimi Hendrix performed at Montery, three years after Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize, a time when America had already begun to weary of black demands for equality, the problem of discrimination presumably solved - that the Supreme Court of the United States would get around to telling the state of Virginia that its ban on interracial marriages violated the Constitution. In 1960, the year that my parents were married, miscengenation still described a felony in over half the states in the Union. The fact that my grandparents had answered yes to this question, no matter how grudgingly, remains an enduring puzzle to me. there was nothing in their background to predict such a response, no New England transcendentlists or wild-eyed socilists in their family tree. ... p123. "It wasn't your father's fault that he left, you know. I divorced him. When the two of us got married, your grandparents weren't happy with the idea. But they said okay - they probably couldn't have stopped us anyway, and they eventually came around to the idea that it was the right thing to do. Then Barack's father - your grandfather Hussein - wrote Gramps this long, nasty letter saying that he didn't approve of the marriage. He didn't want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman, he said. Well, you can imagine how Gramps reacted to that. And then there was a problem with your father's first wife. HE had told me they were separated, but it was a village wedding, so there was no legal document that could show a divorce... She stopped and laughed to herself. "Did I ever tell you that he was late for our first date? He asked me to meet him in front of the university library at one. When I got there he hadn't arrived, but I figured I"d give him a few minutes. It was a nice day, so I laid out on one of the benches, and before I knew it I had fallen asleep. Well, an hour later -an hour! - he shows up with a couple of his friends. I woke up and the three of them were standing over me, I heard your father saying, serious as can be, 'You see, gentlemen, I told you that she was a fine girl, and that she would wait for me?" My mother laughed once more, and once again I saw her as the child she had been. Except this time I saw something else: in her smiling, slightly puzzled face, I saw what all children must see at some point if they are to grow up - their parents lives revealed to them as separate and apart, reaching out beyond the point of their union or the birth of a child, lives unfurling back to grandparents, great-grandparents, an infinite number of chance meetings, misunderstandings, projected hopes, limited circumstances. My mother was that girl with the movie of beautiful black people in her head, flattered by my father's attention, confused and alone, trying to break out of the grip of her own parents' lives. The innocence she carried that day, waiting for my father, had been tinged with misconceptions, her own needs. But it was a guileless need, one without self-consciousness, and perhaps that's how any love begins, impulses and cloudy images that allow us to break across our solitude, and then, if we're lucky, are finally transformed into something firmer. What I heard from my mother that day, speaking about my father, was something that I suspect most Americans will never hear from the lips of those of another race, and so cannot be expected to believe might exist between black and white: the love of someone who knows your life in the round, a love that will survive disappointment. She saw my father as everyone hopes at least one other person might see him; she had tried to help the child who never knew him to see him in the same way. And it was the look on her face that day that I would remember when a few months later I called to tell her that my father had died and heard her cry out over the distance. -- Obama 'Dreams from my father' copyright 1995, 2004 A song of despair [ I like this translation by Scott Horton a little more... "In you sank everything! " sounds better than "In you everything sank"... no? ] A song of Despair Neruda Pablo The recollection of you emerges from the night in which I am The river mixes its stubborn saddness with the sea. Abandoned like the dwarves at dawn. It is the hour of departure, oh foresaken one! Cold flowers pour over my heart. Oh pit of debris, ferocious cave of the shipwrecked. In you the wars and the flights accumulated. From you the wings of the song birds rose. You swallowed everything, like distance. Like the sea, like time. In you sank everything! It was the blissful hour of attack and embrace. The hour of the charm that shown like a lighthouse. Pilot's dread, the fury of blind driver, turbulent inebriation of love, in you sank everything! In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded. Lost discoverer, in you sank everything! You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire, sadness stunned you, in you sank everything! I made the wall of shadows recede, beyond desire and action, I passed on. Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost, I summon you in the hour of dampness, I raise a song to you. Like a container you housed endless tenderness. and the infinite oblivion destroyed you like a container. There was the black solitude of the islands, and there, woman of love, your arms embraced me. There was thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit. There were grief and ruin, and you were the miracle. Ah woman, I do not know how you could contain me in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms! How terrible and brief my desire was to you! How difficult and drunken, how tense and determined. Graveyard of kisses, there is still fire in your tombs, still the fruited boughs burn, pecked at by birds. Oh the bitten mouth, oh the kissed limbs, oh the hungering teeth, oh the entwined bodies. Oh the mad coupling of hope and force in which we merged and despaired. And the tenderness, light as water and as flour. And the word scarcely begun on the lips. This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of desire, and in it my longing fell, in you sankeverything! Oh pit of debris, everything fell into you, what sadness did you not express, in what sorrow are you not drowned! From billow to billow you still called and sang. Standing like a sailor in the prow of a vessel. You still bloomed in song, you still brake the currents. Oh pit of debris, open and bitter well. Pale blind diver, luckless slinger, lost discoverer, in you sank everything! It is the hour of departure, the hard cold hour which the night fastens to all the timetables. The rustling belt of the sea circles the shore. Cold stars rise up, black birds migrate. Deserted like the wharves at dawn. Only ominous shadow turns in my hands. Oh farther than everything. Oh farther than everything. It is the hour of departure. Oh foresaken one! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti but would you let your daughter marry one?

The research, by materials scientists from national institutions, adds fuel to a theory that the pharaohs' craftsmen had enough skill and materials at hand to cast the two-tonne limestone blocks that dress the Cheops and other Pyramids. Despite mounting support from scientists, Egyptologists have rejected the concrete claim, first made in the late 1970s by Joseph Davidovits, a French chemist. The stones, say the historians and archeologists, were all carved from nearby quarries, heaved up huge ramps and set in place by armies of workers. Some dissenters say that levers or pulleys were used, even though the wheel had not been invented at that time. Until recently it was hard for geologists to distinguish between natural limestone and the kind that would have been made by reconstituting liquefied lime. But according to Professor Gilles Hug, of the French National Aerospace Research Agency (Onera), and Professor Michel Barsoum, of Drexel University in Philadelphia, the covering of the great Pyramids at Giza consists of two types of stone: one from the quarries and one man-made. "There's no way around it. The chemistry is well and truly different," Professor Hug told Science et Vie magazine. Their study is being published this month in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. The pair used X-rays, a plasma torch and electron microscopes to compare small fragments from pyramids with stone from the Toura and Maadi quarries. They found "traces of a rapid chemical reaction which did not allow natural crystalisation . . . The reaction would be inexplicable if the stones were quarried, but perfectly comprehensible if one accepts that they were cast like concrete." The pair believe that the concrete method was used only for the stones on the higher levels of the Pyramids. There are some 2.5 million stone blocks on the Cheops Pyramid. The 10-tonne granite blocks at their heart were also natural, they say. The professors agree with the "Davidovits theory" that soft limestone was quarried on the damp south side of the Giza Plateau. This was then dissolved in large, Nile-fed pools until it became a watery slurry. Lime from fireplace ash and salt were mixed in with it. The water evaporated, leaving a moist, clay-like mixture. This wet "concrete" would have been carried to the site and packed into wooden moulds where it would set hard in a few days. Mr Davidovits and his team at the Geopolymer Institute at Saint-Quentin tested the method recently, producing a large block of concrete limestone in ten days. New support for their case came from Guy Demortier, a materials scientist at Namur University in Belgium. Originally a sceptic, he told the French magazine that a decade of study had made him a convert: "The three majestic Pyramids of Cheops, Khephren and Mykerinos are well and truly made from concrete stones." The concrete theorists also point out differences in density of the pyramid stones, which have a higher mass near the bottom and bubbles near the top, like old-style cement blocks. Opponents of the theory dispute the scientific evidence. They also say that the diverse shapes of the stones show that moulds were not used. They add that a huge amount of limestone chalk and burnt wood would have been needed to make the concrete, while the Egyptians had the manpower to hoist all the natural stone they wanted. The concrete theorists say that they will be unable to prove their theory conclusively until the Egyptian authorities give them access to substantial samples. -- Time Online Dec 1, 2006 can a non-for-profit entity sell its entire op for cash reward? there should be a law against such transaction... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti you lose. you know Chinese has the money They'll outbid you. dirty tricks. they don't care. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti you're contributing to rub me my precious minutes Have you read Obama's book 'Dreams from my father'? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti for your pleasure Obama wrote 'Dreams' before he stepped unto national stage.

That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn't been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer int he white clssmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some borther you'd met down at the gym, r on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. Nobody asked you whether your father was a fat-cat executive who cheated o his wife or some laid-off joe who slapped you around whenever he bothered to come home. You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection. And if the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism. p123.

What I heard from my other that day, speaking about my father, was something that I suspect most Americans will never hear from the lips of those of another race, and so cannot be expected to believe might exist between black and white: the love of someone who knows your life in the round, a love that will survive disappointment. She saw my father as everyone opes at least one other person might see him; she had tried to help the child who never knew him to see him in the same way. And it was the look on her face that day that I would remember when a few months later I called to tell her that my father had died and heard her cry out over the distance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Eros toward the World Paul Tillich and theology of erotic p43 "Each person is locked up within himself," Tillich said in a speech during convocation ceremonies at Union Theological Seminary in NYC. "and each desires to transcend himself through the power of eros." Paul tells us, he continued, that Eros, half god and half demon, was born from the union of Poverty and Plenty, and that he carries both of these characteristics within himself. He is more than a human being and less than a god. He is a power in every being that strives and yearns for perfection. Eros drives the weaker being to crave a stronger one, the lower to desire a higher, the male to seek the female, and vice versa; it drives the ignorant person to seek the wise one, and all human beings to raise themselves toward God. It is the source of every movement in the world, because every finite being has a desire for infinite reality, and moves toward it. "This Eros, this daimon," Tillich claimed, is "more than desire," yet less than the totality of love. It is the driving, life-giving force in the highest forms of spirituality, and also in sexual love. It is even the "first foundation" of the intellectural and religious community to which he addressed his convocation talk. Without the animating force of eros, the shared passion of scholarly inquiry and the sustaining bonds of the spiritual community would dissolve. (GW 13:353) ... Tillich's work on eros provides clues to his understanding of sex. Such clues are important since, in spite of his frequent complaints about puritanical moralism and Christian prudishness, Tillich himself was not always especially frank and direct in his theological writings on sex. His published disucssions of sexuality are marked by a distinct taste for euphemisms and circumlocutions. The character of Tillich's private life may have been one reason for the curcumspection in his published references to sexual topics. Tillich may have wanted to avoid awakening curiosity about his own sex life. Yet an important reason for his framing discussion of sex in a vocabulary based on eros was Tillich's acute awareness that sex is not, and should not be portrayed as, a simple thing. ... p52. There is in the passionate love of art, Tillich believes, the ever-present danger that one may slip into a posture of 'aestheticism" in which eros is separated from the criterion of justice and the pleasure of art is pursued for its own sake. "An aesthetic detachment can take hold of our relation to culture" and make the cultural/artistic eros "ambiguous". In philosophy and Crhistian theology, this phenomenon of superficial aestheticism has been explored most fully by Soren Kierkegaard. The Danish philosopher's 'aesthetic stage of man's spiritual development is not," Tillich claims, in fact merely a stage but rather an ever-present "quality of love exposed to the dangers Kierkegaard describes. The ambiguity of culture eros is its detachment from the realities that it expresses, and consquently the disappearing of existential participation and ultimate responsibility." In such a situation, 'the wings of eros become wings of escape." Kierkegaard's warnings on the risks associated with the aesthetic eros must be taken seriously. Tillich himself writes of having experienced a strong pull in the direction of this type of aesthetic flight from the world. However, he insists, such irresponsible detachment from reality does not belong to the basic nature of aesthetic eros.... Tillich is not your ordinary prickly priest I heard rumors about Paul Tillich and Infidelity but I believe in his fidelity more than that of any other pompous head... Paul Tillich's erotic life provoked his wife Hanna to portray him in From Time to Time as an undisciplined womanizer given to erotic sex and pornography. Surely a sex addict enslaved to the erotic will not expound a balanced view of eros and agape. Without awareness of a seriously flawed life one might not thoroughly critique his theory. But do moral flaws translate into correlative intellectual flaws? Thomas suggests that if "reason or conceptual thought can transcend its personal, social, cultural, historical context" the thinker's moral/political life may not be relevant to the assessment or perhaps even the interpretation of the thought, and vice versa." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Paul Tillich as Hero From an interview 'From Time to Time' & 'Paulus' Was he sexually pursued by women? Undoubtedly some women would have liked him to go further than he did. Not many, I think. By and large, they knew what Paulus was getting across. The Psychology Today review says for Paulus to relate to women as I say he did was `nastier" than to have actual sexual intercourse. That moralistic statement misses the point. The women knew and Paulus knew that they were not going to end up in bed. Paulus's motivation was the glory of loving and appreciating women, not the glory of intercourse. Hannah leaves the impression Paulus was a prurient person trying to get as many women as possible into bed. This is a distortion of fact and, more seriously, a distortion of his character. Yet people want to hear and see the prurient. I have the feeling that Sartre's view of society in The Flies fits us today. The people in the play hold a great celebration of guilt. That fits Watergate and in some ways our whole society. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Puritans, Freudians and the Classical Eros "The theological and cultural understandings of eros with which Tillich was familiar -- and which he sought to transform -- were significantly shaped by the work of these two men. The first was the Swedish bishop and theologian Anders Nygren. The second was Sigmund Freud. "But eros is a broad river that overflows its banks, carrying everything away with it, so that it is not easy, even in thought, to dam it up and make it flow in an orderly course." -- Anders Nygren. Nygren's theories on the nature of love and religious experience, presented in his monumental work Agape and Eros , exerted a deep and lasting influence on Christian, especially Protestant, thought in the middle decades of the 20th century. Negren presents agape and eros not simply as qualitatively distinct forms of love, but as historical and theological principles that by nature are completely antithetical, one another's most 'dangerous rivals'.` For all intents and purposes, the agapic love described in the writings of Paul "comes to us," Nygren insists, "as a quite new creation of Christianity." Agape constitutes the "fundamental motif' that defines the Christian message and the Christian way of life as such. Agape "sets its mark on everything in Christianity. Without it, nothing that is Christian would be Christian". Christian "fellowship with God is distinguished from all other kinds by the fact that it depends exclusively on God's agape." Agapic love, which flows "downward" from God to human beings, is "spontaneous and unmotivate," having no ground or motive outside the divine nature itself. It is "indifferent to value" in its human objects, yet it can and does create value in those who receive it. "The man who is loved by God has no value in himself what gives him value is precisely the fact that God loves him" In all cases, "Agape is the initiator of fellowship with God." There is "from man's side no way at all that leads to God". ... In the second part of Agape and Eros, Nygren explores in detail the history of Christian teachings on the nature of love, tracing the evolution of the conflict between the "fundamental motifs" of erotic and agapic love, and examining the misguided attempts to work out a reconsiling synthesis between them. He regards the shattering of this debilitating synthesis as the great achievement of the Protestant Reformation. "Luther had observed," Nygren notes, "how the whole of the Catholic doctrine of love," colored by late antique and medieval thinkers' effort to fuse agape with eros, "displays an egocentric perversion." Against this "egocentric attitude which ahd come to mark the Catholoic conception of love, Luther sets a thoroughly theocentric idea of love". By reviving and bringing forward again in its pure form the New Testament concept of agape, Luthers abolished "that interpretation of Christian love which finds expression in the idea of Caritas, which fundamentally contains more Hellenistic Eros-love than primitive Christian Agape-love". Luther "shattered" the synthetic understanding of love elaborated by Augustine and confirmed by the theologians of hte Middle Ages. This radical reseparation of eros from agape is for Nygren the great triumph and the "meaning of the Reformation" ---------------------------------------- Tillich's response to Nygren ... In the first volume of Systematic Theology, Tillich attacks the doctrine of an "irreconcilable conflict between eros and agape," which obscures theologians' understanding of the true relation between the human and the divne. In Love, Power, and Justice, he lashes out once again at misguided "attempts to establish an absolute contrast betweeneros and agape." "If the eros quality of love with respect to God is rejected, the consequence of this rejection is that love toward God becomes an impossible concept" and must be 'replaced by mere obedience to God." Obedience, however, "is not love. It can be the opposite of love." If human beings' erotic desire for reunion with their divine origin is left out of account in analyzing the religious life and the theological concepts that shape it, Tillich concludes "then love toward God becomes a meaningless word." ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti are you playing your balls on the field, Lil $ what's to see from your side? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti The Art Of Living So a friend of mine persuaded me to plunge myself into a 3-day deep breathing exercise with over 200 others who all believed in the teaching of SSRS and his manifestation on 'the art of living' I went to the first session, it bored me somewhat. So I decided the next day i'll breath deeply at home like a real hermit and see what happens. The next morning, my friend called. She's all concerned that I wasn't there yesterday when Sri Sri Ravi Shankar came to meet all the participants. Feeling guilty about it, I immediately hopped in my car and drove an hour to continue my course of training... My group leader, a Dr. Sanjay, told me that I can't continue with the class. There is no way I can catch with others to finish the rest of breathing routine. I protested and he gave in but said that I must talk to SSRS's disciple, fisherman and teacher Mike. It sounds all very mystic. I only had a brief moment with teacher Mike and I wasn't convinced by his persuasion that this is how they teach the course over many years and this is what SSRS set up. I made up my mind that my spirit has arisen and I will stay unless Sri Sri Ravi Shankar himself asks me to leave. I got back to my group. Dr. Sanjay asked me 'What did he say?'. "He says I have to ask SSRS." "Oh, is he coming today?' Dr. Sanjay seemed to be thrilled at such prospect. "I have no idea", I had to be honest with him. Later, teacher Mike, came to me again. This time, 'fisherman' Michael really pissed me off for no reason... 'This is not like you're watching a show or television. You need to participate the full length of the program. Why don't you schedule another course at another time? ... OK. FINE. So I left. Breathing deeply by myself won't do good to another soul nor will it hurt anybody. Sure enough, this poem can't help itself to be read by a rejected drop-out... The Sonnets to Orpheus: XIII Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were behind you, like the winter that has just gone by. For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter that only by wintering through it all will your heart survive. Be forever dead in Eurydice-more gladly arise into the seamless life proclaimed in your song. Here, in the realm of decline, among momentary days, be the crystal cup that shattered even as it rang. Be-and yet know the great void where all things begin, the infinite source of your own most intense vibration, so that, this once, you may give it your perfect assent. To all that is used-up, and to all the muffled and dumb creatures in the world's full reserve, the unsayable sums, joyfully add yourself, and cancel the count. latest... WHAT IS THIS INCONSISTENT SIGNAL FROM SSRS's 'Art of Living' course? They asked me to leave the program and now it's a charitable opening to all for the last session? Reminds me of the new movie "Kungfu Panda' about the secret ingredient and the Dragon scroll... "Faith is realizing that you always get what you need. Faith is giving the Divine a chance to act."

"Socrates and Plato are examples from antiquity of gay males, preferring homosexuality and generally disdaining procreative heterosexuality. The prevalence of homosexulaity in Plato's Greece depended upon the mythic hero, Orpheus, who had twice lost his wife; journeying into Hades, he emerged from the death/rebirth experience as a gay man ( Ovid, Metamophses X, 1-85), and subsequently introduced gay sex to Greece. Consequently, outraged heterosexual women were encouraged by Aphrodite in their fustration and anger at Orpheus to the extent that he was finally "attacked by Thracian women during a Bacchic orgy because of his coldness to them. They tore his body to pieces and threw his head into the river". Neumann (1971) also espies homosexuality in other mythic figures: the gay relationship between Zeus and Ganymede, for example, aided Eros (Zeus' son) in the 'war of liberation against the domination of the Great Mother," freeing him from his status as son/lover ( an Oedipal homosexual) to relate freely with feminine Psyche ( an integrated homosexual).

Yoshikami never said an unkind word about any of the other school of Buddhism. "Every school is for a certain type of person," he said. "No school is for everybody. You find your own school." Once he added as an example, "Zen is the school for samurais and neurotics." It took me a while to realize that, since there are no samurais around anymore, the Rev. had rather severely limited the clientele for Zen. I liked old Yoshi kami. His school of Buddhism was Shiran, a variation on Amida Buddhism, which in turn is based on faith in Amida, the Buddha of Boundless compassion. Amida refused to accept Nirvana until every sentient being could enter that blessed quenched state along with him. Amida Buddhists believe that if you call on Amida just once with true faith - saying "Namu Amida Butsu" ( Japanese for "In the name of Amida Buddha") -- you will reach Nivrvana eventually, even if you fuck up so much that it takes a couple of hundred thousand incarnations to get you there. Amida never gives up on you. He's like a finance company that way - a reverse finance company that wants to give you Something for Nothing. Shinran was a 12th Century monk who decided that not everybody was capable of true faith in the boundless compassion of Amida. Some people - like me, for instance- will always have a degree of doubt about everything. Are we therefore barred from Nirvana? Does the compassion of Amida - who has vowed to bring the Dharmalight to every sentient being - not reach out to such wretches as us? Shinran decided he couldn't believe that: boundless compasion must not have limits, by definitions. His school of Buddhism is based on the teaching that if you call on Amida just once - "Namu Amida Butsu" - with or without true faith, the infinite mercy of Amida will eventually deliver you from all errors and bring you to the Pure Land of Infinitely Reflected Light. I like Shinran Buddhism. It seems the most humane of the religious I have sampled in my long career as a gourmet of physical and metaphysical reality-tunnels. When Arien and I decided to get married, after living together for only six months, I persuaded her we should let the Shinran Buddhists tie the knot. I wanted Amida on my team. ------------------------------- who the hell is this Robert Anton Wilson and how his book 'Cosmic Trigger Volume II' opens itself this Friday afternoon?

"For these ports I could not draw a route on the map or set a date for the landing.

If I tell you that the city toward which my journey tends is discontinuous in space and time, now scattered, now more condensed, you must not believe the search for it can stop.

There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it.

Instead take her in my arms lean against an old crooked tombstone and woo her the entire night the constellations in the sky- When she introduces me to her parents back straightened, hair finally combed, strangled by a tie, should I sit with my knees together on their 3rd degree sofa and not ask Where's the bathroom? How else to feel other than I am, often thinking Flash Gordon soap- O how terrible it must be for a young man seated before a family and the family thinking We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou! After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living? Should I tell them? Would they like me then? Say All right get married, we're losing a daughter but we're gaining a son- And should I then ask Where's the bathroom? O God, and the wedding! All her family and her friends and only a handful of mine all scroungy and bearded just wait to get at the drinks and food- And the priest! he looking at me as if I masturbated asking me Do you take this woman for your lawful wedded wife? And I trembling what to say say Pie Glue! I kiss the bride all those corny men slapping me on the back She's all yours, boy! Ha-ha-ha! And in their eyes you could see some obscene honeymoon going on- Then all that absurd rice and clanky cans and shoes Niagara Falls! Hordes of us! Husbands! Wives! Flowers! Chocolates! All streaming into cozy hotels All going to do the same thing tonight The indifferent clerk he knowing what was going to happen The lobby zombies they knowing what The whistling elevator man he knowing Everybody knowing! I'd almost be inclined not to do anything! Stay up all night! Stare that hotel clerk in the eye! Screaming: I deny honeymoon! I deny honeymoon! running rampant into those almost climactic suites yelling Radio belly! Cat shovel! O I'd live in Niagara forever! in a dark cave beneath the Falls I'd sit there the Mad Honeymooner devising ways to break marriages, a scourge of bigamy a saint of divorce- But I should get married I should be good How nice it'd be to come home to her and sit by the fireplace and she in the kitchen aproned young and lovely wanting my baby and so happy about me she burns the roast beef and comes crying to me and I get up from my big papa chair saying Christmas teeth! Radiant brains! Apple deaf! God what a husband I'd make! Yes, I should get married! So much to do! Like sneaking into Mr Jones' house late at night and cover his golf clubs with 1920 Norwegian books Like hanging a picture of Rimbaud on the lawnmower like pasting Tannu Tuva postage stamps all over the picket fence like when Mrs Kindhead comes to collect for the Community Chest grab her and tell her There are unfavorable omens in the sky! And when the mayor comes to get my vote tell him When are you going to stop people killing whales! And when the milkman comes leave him a note in the bottle Penguin dust, bring me penguin dust, I want penguin dust- Yes if I should get married and it's Connecticut and snow and she gives birth to a child and I am sleepless, worn, up for nights, head bowed against a quiet window, the past behind me, finding myself in the most common of situations a trembling man knowledged with responsibility not twig-smear nor Roman coin soup- O what would that be like! Surely I'd give it for a nipple a rubber Tacitus For a rattle a bag of broken Bach records Tack Della Francesca all over its crib Sew the Greek alphabet on its bib And build for its playpen a roofless Parthenon No, I doubt I'd be that kind of father Not rural not snow no quiet window but hot smelly tight New York City seven flights up, roaches and rats in the walls a fat Reichian wife screeching over potatoes Get a job! And five nose running brats in love with Batman And the neighbors all toothless and dry haired like those hag masses of the 18th century all wanting to come in and watch TV The landlord wants his rent Grocery store Blue Cross Gas & Electric Knights of Columbus impossible to lie back and dream Telephone snow, ghost parking- No! I should not get married! I should never get married! But-imagine if I were married to a beautiful sophisticated woman tall and pale wearing an elegant black dress and long black gloves holding a cigarette holder in one hand and a highball in the other and we lived high up in a penthouse with a huge window from which we could see all of New York and even farther on clearer days No, can't imagine myself married to that pleasant prison dream- O but what about love? I forget love not that I am incapable of love It's just that I see love as odd as wearing shoes- I never wanted to marry a girl who was like my mother And Ingrid Bergman was always impossible And there's maybe a girl now but she's already married And I don't like men and- But there's got to be somebody! Because what if I'm 60 years old and not married, all alone in a furnished room with pee stains on my underwear and everybody else is married! All the universe married but me! Ah, yet well I know that were a woman possible as I am possible then marriage would be possible- Like SHE in her lonely alien gaud waiting her Egyptian lover so i wait-bereft of 2,000 years and the bath of life. or if you can truly forget it... that'll be just fine.

The May Magnificat by Gerard Manley Hopkins May is Mary's month, and I Muse at that and wonder why : Her feasts follow reason, Dated due to season-- Candlemas, Lady Day ; But the Lady Month, May, Why fasten that upon her, With a feasting in her honour ? Is it only its being brighter Than the most are must delight her ? Is it opportunist And flowers finds soonest ? Ask of her, the mighty mother : Her reply puts this other Question : What is Spring?-- Growth in every thing-- Flesh and fleece, fur and feather, Grass and greenworld all together ; Star-eyed strawberry-breasted Throstle above her nested Cluster of bugle blue eggs thin Forms and warms the life within ; And bird and blossom swell In sod or sheath or shell. All things rising, all things sizing Mary sees, sympathizing With that world of good Nature's motherhood. Their magnifying of each its kind With delight calls to mind How she did in her stored Magnify the Lord. Well but there was more than this : Spring's universal bliss Much, had much to say To offering Mary May.

His decision to become a Jesuit led him to burn much of his early poetry as he felt it incompatible with his vocation. While he was studying in the Jesuit house of theological studies in St Beuno's, he was asked by his religious superior to write a poem to commemorate the foundering of a German ship in a storm. So in 1875 he was moved to take up poetry once more and write a lengthy poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland. This work was inspired by the Deutschland incident, a naval disaster in which 157 people died including five Franciscan nuns who had been leaving Germany due to harsh anti-Catholic laws (see Kulturkampf). The work displays both the religious concerns and some of the unusual meter and rhythms of his subsequent poetry not present in his few remaining early works. It not only depicts the dramatic events and heroic deeds but also tells of the poet's reconciling the terrible events with God's higher purpose. The poem was accepted but not printed by a Jesuit publication, and this rejection fueled his ambivalence about his poetry. Most of his poetry remained unpublished until after his death. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti I pictured catholic girls all wet with black long dresses by the sea ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti how's your ride? the second touch down ok? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i laughed.

Seaward: H.D.'s 'Helen in Egypt' as a response to Pound's 'Cantos.' - woman author Hilda Doolittle; long poems Jeffrey Twitchell-Waas Despite the firm nook in the modernist pantheon that H.D. has acquired over the past quarter century, she remains an oddly isolated figure within the larger matrix of poetic modernism. Recent scholarship has correctly shifted attention to her late long poems, but there has been little consideration of how these ambitious works relate to other long poems by her contemporaries.(1) Over the last two decades of her life, H.D. composed nine long sequences (if we consider the Trilogy as discrete poems), which at the very least are clearly distinctive from the comparable works by Pound, Eliot, Crane, Williams, Stevens, and others that are commonly taken to be at the center of American poetic modernism. Undoubtedly, the ethereal mode of her work, which tends to filter out the messiness and vulgarities of present history, goes against the grain of contemporary developments. Yet, despite their apparent difference in manner and perspective, H.D.'s long sequences were written within the context of these other works and the larger cultural project in which they are engaged. In this essay, I will focus on the most obvious point of contact: H.D.'s relationship with Pound, and specifically Helen in Egypt as a response to Pound's Cantos. Few readers will be surprised at the suggestion of a significant relationship between these two works, yet the question has received little attention.(2) From the time she was composing Helen in Egypt (1952-55), H.D. frequently mentioned Pound and his Cantos in her correspondence with Norman Holmes Pearson, and evidently approved, was even flattered by, Pearson's reference to Helen in Egypt as her "cantos" (Friedman 216).(3) More important, if more difficult to pinpoint, is that for H.D. and many others Pound defined the ambitiousness of the modernist poet. In the cases of H.D. and Williams, there appears little in the work of their early decades that would indicate an inevitable evolution toward the composition of long poems, yet both, late in their careers, felt compelled to produce deliberately planned, epic-scale works. In End to Torment, H.D. remarks that "Thinking of Ezra's work, I recall my long Helen sequence. Perhaps, there was always a challenge in his creative power. Perhaps, even, [. . .] there was unconscious - really unconscious - rivalry" (41). For H.D. personally, Pound represented her simultaneous initiation into both love and poetry, which remained inextricable and mutually motivating throughout her work. But most important, in the Cantos, as well as in his advocacy of other modernists, Pound promoted a conception of the "serious artist" responding comprehensively to the sense of cultural crisis during the period of world wars. For the older generation of American modernists, who for all their rebelliousness inherited a strong streak of Victorian earnestness, the social and spiritual catastrophe that manifested itself in the First World War and its aftermath obligated an attempt to identify the causes of cultural dysfunction and to offer positive answers for renewal. In this sense, Helen in Egypt, despite its very different mode of procedure, is of a piece with these other modernist epics. H.D.'s ambitious late work, though, was not conceived as simply another rival modernist project alongside those of Pound and others, but as complementary work. This is evident in her unique memoirs - Tribute to Freud and End to Torment, and I would also include Bid Me to Live - which examine her relationships with other major modernists. While commentators have emphasized H.D.'s critiques of Freud, Pound, and Lawrence, this has sometimes obscured the memoirs' deeper intent to dialectically define her companionship with their work. This requires recognizing what distracts from the authentic impulse of their work, including prominently their masculinism, in order to reveal where H.D. joins them in a common effort. Throughout her late work, H.D. repeatedly refers to her participation in a heretical band of artists and cultural workers - "bearers of the secret wisdom" as she rather immodestly puts it in The Walla Do Not Fall (CP 517) - who whatever their superficial differences and disagreements are ultimately united in a common purpose, a conspiracy for world peace (see By Avon, esp. 83-85). In Helen in Egypt, after Helen and Achilles's fateful encounter on the beach and the latter's rebirth as the "new Mortal," each goes separately about their work: "both occupied with the thought of reconstruction, he 'to re-claim the coast with the Pharos, the light-house,' she to establish or re-establish the ancient Mysteries" in the Temple of Amen (63; see also 89).(4) In the mutual project of world peace, there appears to be a division of labor whereby Achilles attends to the more pragmatic and public sphere, while Helen attends to the sacred and psychological forms of salvation and reconstruction. Although H.D. had moved away from classical Greek materials after the 1930s, her decision to work with broadly Homeric materials in Helen in Egypt was no doubt in part a response to those megaworks of Anglo-American modernism, Joyce's Ulysses and Pound's Cantos. The story that Helen was not at Troy but had been divinely whisked off to Egypt during the war represents a well-established, if minority, alternative to the orthodoxy of the Homeric version, and so problematizes the classic narrative drawn on by Joyce and Pound.(5) Actually, Helen in Egypt does not so much reject the Homeric narrative for a preferable alternative as it sets the two in dialogue and so complicates both. It is notable, however, that H.D. addresses the matter of the Iliad rather than that of the Odyssey. Well before Pound and Joyce, Odysseus had been taken as a type of the modern man. Curious for experience as an end in itself and pragmatically responding to each new circumstance, he and his story naturally have had more resonance with the modern sensibility than with the inflexible warrior ethos. For Pound, it is important that Odysseus's tale begins after the war and recounts a return home to reestablish the peacetime kingdom. For all its deviations into various hells, the Cantos begins with Odysseus seeking prophetic advice about how to get back home, and the poem was intended to help instigate a cultural revitalization to ensure that war was left behind for good, which is why the poem ground to a halt during World War II and its trajectory drastically altered when Pound returned to it at Pisa. In choosing to work with the Iliad materials, H.D. insists it is necessary to go not away from but back into the war. Since hers is a psychological, even a psychoanalytic epic rather than a historical one, it is necessary to reveal the psychic causes that for her lie beneath all social manifestations. By examining Achilles rather than Odysseus, she implies that the former is not an outdated type but remains an accurate model of the psychological economy of patriarchal power. Helen in Egypt situates itself with respect to Pound's poem as the latter's textual unconscious, insisting on and exploring those spaces of the personal and psychological which tend to be repressed in the Cantos. H.D.'s epic argues that war is due to repression, the cultivation of an ethos of egocentric strength that requires the repression of the maternal. In Achilles's case, this means the sea, Thetis, the flowing, unbounded, vulnerable realm of experience that would undermine the iron discipline of the warrior. According to the mythic logic behind the figure of Achilles, he becomes the apotheosis of the warrior ideal precisely because his mother is the sea: the extreme powers of repression necessary for him to forget the maternal dialectically transform him into the model of military rigidity. This is a self-perpetuating ethos: the repression that makes possible the warrior manifests itself in violence and war, which in turn motivate the need for the warrior. What is left out is the "feminine," not simply all those designated "women," which might just as well cover all manner of "inferior" classes of peoples, but the whole sphere of the personal, of those human relations requiring a degree of surrender of the ego and the possibility of the transformation and interpenetration of selves. The Achilles' heel in all this is that he has a mother, manifest as Helen, the supposed cause of the war justifying the boys' need to busy themselves as repressed war machines. Helen is the cause of the Trojan War, since as a sort of eidolon for Thetis, she is the Achilles that Achilles must deny in order to become Achilles(6) - which is why Helen is the central issue yet always appears as deflected to the margins of the war. In Helen in Egypt, Achilles is "killed" when he exchanges a look with Helen up on Troy's walls, a gaze he describes as "shimmering as light on the changeable sea" (54). In other words, he sees Thetis as himself mirrored in Helen's eyes, a reflection that will be repeated for a final time when he washes up on the beach in Egypt. Achilles in fact melts or is scattered and immediately finds himself transported from the dry plains of Troy to a boat crossing the sea to Egypt, identified with the death ship of Osiris - who was similarly scattered, then reassembled by the Egyptian Thetis, Isis, and reborn as Horus, who in characteristic mythic logic then becomes both husband and son. If we consider this reading of Achilles and the Trojan War as a psychological allegory in relation to Pound and the Cantos, we discern some interesting parallels. Pound's "poem including history" is predominately concerned with historical, economic, and political materials on the assumption that herein lies the sickness of Western culture that must be made transparent so that the spiritual and aesthetic values that are the proper focus of living can achieve full potential. The fact that in strictly quantitative terms, the historical materials tend to overwhelm and obscure the more spiritual concerns, which presumably are the underlying impetus of the Cantos, is symptomatic of Pound's perception of the dire state of modern culture and the threatened role of the artist-poet within modernity. Pound's commitment to clearing up the social superstructure in order for rather simplistically valorized natural energies to freely unfold themselves leads him to reject the unconscious. As many commentators have argued, Pound's anti-Semitic, sexist, and authoritarian views are grounded in the need to separate out clarity, the spiritual light that is such a central presence in his poem, from all manner of intermixture and contamination. Pound's manichaeism became increasingly entrenched under the pressure to commit himself and his poem to the trend of contemporary history, to throw in his lot with a pragmatic manifestation of the improved society he envisioned. This above all required the suppression of the anarchic impulses of the unconscious, and the Cantos of the late 1920s through the 30s would see an increased emphasis on Enlightenment figures of right reason, such as John Adams and Confucian emperors. But of course the Cantos are everywhere marked by repression, as it is surely one of the most mixed, oblique, and contaminated of literary works. Perhaps emblematic of this repression is an interesting instance of revision in the early stages of the Cantos. When reworking the initial false start that he had published in 1917, Pound moved the journey to the underworld passage translated from book XI of the Odyssey to the opening of his epic, but he also did some minor trimming. Whereas now the translation breaks off with the name of Odysseus's mother, Anticlea, and then sputters out with a few more lines of paraphrase mentioning the Sirens and Circe, originally Pound had included several more lines in which Odysseus speaks with his mother and tries vainly three times to embrace her shade.(7) Thinking about the Cantos from the perspective of H.D.'s concerns, we might take this editing out of Odysseus's poignant attempt to embrace his mother as indicative of the direction Pound and his poem would take. The Cantos begins with Odysseus "Set[ting] keel to breakers, forth on the godly sea" (1/3), Canto II is taken up with watery Dionysian transformations, and much in the earliest Cantos deals with mythic and visionary materials.(8) However, it can be argued that Pound could not fully follow the implications of this launching forth and increasingly insisted on attempting to control his materials with "the beak of his ego," as Charles Olson put it (82). In this sense, there are striking parallels to the warrior Achilles, who is described by H.D. in decidedly fascistic terms (esp. 51-56). Of course Odysseus too is a conflicted figure: desiring new experience and its risks, yet maintaining control, as is most strikingly illustrated in the episodes with the Sirens and Circe, both of whom surface as seductive dangers to the poet in the Cantos.(9) We can say with reasonable certainty that, whatever Pound's intentions, the Cantos did not end up being the poem he had in mind. The form of the Cantos committed Pound to risk, uncertainty, self-contradiction, impurity, and failure as the only possible success. The ideogrammic method as he deployed it meant that innumerable voices and scraps from all over enter the poem, and however severely Pound edited, even deformed, his sources, it was impossible to keep control over them. Surely no poem before the Cantos relies so heavily on quotation, which to some degree is a surrender of authorial control. From this perspective, there is a deep passivity about the paratactic method of the Cantos, a willingness to allow, even a dependency on allowing, other voices, texts, and languages to do the speaking, in however truncated a manner, rather than to absorb them into a more consistent authorial voice as Pound had in fact done in the Ur-Cantos of 1917. The agglutinative immensity itself of Pound's poem makes it difficult to see how he could have kept it under control, as he unquestionably desired. But beyond this, responding in part to the challenge posed by the realist novel, Pound attempted to anchor the Cantos in the objective reality of history, and as Michael Andre Bernstein has lucidly demonstrated, the ultimate authority of the poem relied on certain concrete historical changes in society. Short of such historical manifestations, despite the reiterated allusions to and assertions of stability, order, and clarity, the poem floats on shifting water, and it is quite impossible for us to read these assertions as other than strongly shadowed by Pound's anxieties and groping, and the poem as other than deeply conflicted. Helen in Egypt is a poem of epic ambition without history, focusing instead on the cultural psyche, with material history conceived of as epiphenomena. To a significant degree, this is dictated by the fact that H.D. was female, so that "history" in a sense was unavailable to her. This is not only a question of the very attenuated agency attributed to women in history as we know it, but also the sphere of "knowledge" from which H.D. writes is naturally more that of personal relations and consciousness. In her famous defense of "Modern Fiction," Virginia Woolf strategically designates the realist novel as "materialist" in order to argue for the more authentic realism of the psychological novel she advocates. Without making the point explicitly, Woolf attempts to relocate the focus of the novel, where women stand at least equal to men, which indeed is superior precisely because of its universality. In "The Guest," written in the immediate aftermath of World War II, H.D. suggests that much of the poetic genius of the Elizabethan age was stunted and dissipated because of various poets' engagement with the public sphere, whereas Shakespeare's genius achieved fulfillment because he resisted the lures of immediate history (By Avon, esp. 81-85, 94-96). The poet is the voice of the repressed in the cultural psyche that embodies those desires that must be recognized and satisfied, or at least sublimated in some positive manner, if there is to be any hope for an improved society. Ultimately, this may amount to conceiving of the poet's task as insisting on "anachronistic" values in the face of the historical forces of global rationalization and instrumentalization: thus the emphasis on the poet's task as anamnesis. H.D. is one of the more extreme examples among modernist poets who cultivated disreputable and obsolete "knowledge": the occult, alchemy, gnosticism, spiritualism, cabala - "sciences" whose utter delegitimization by modernity indicates to H.D. areas of cultural repression.(10) H.D. read the Pisan Cantos shortly after its publication in 1948, and, according to Barbara Guest's biography, she wrote to their old mutual friend Viola Baxter Jordan that she found them "heartbreaking" (290). "Heartbreaking" is from Guest's paraphrase, and it would be interesting to know if H.D. actually used this word, since the very last stanza of Helen in Egypt reads: "only Achilles could break his heart / and the world for a token, / a memory forgotten" (304). I take the phrase "break his heart" to represent the cracking of the isolate ego and the opening up to the emotions and the destabilizing psyche. The "memory forgotten" that shatters the "iron-ring" round his heart is that of Achilles's mother, Thetis, the sea goddess. In this final stanza, Helen is one last time affirming her choice of Achilles over Paris because the latter knows nothing of the sea; indeed, in the poem Paris is strictly a landlubber. Helen in Egypt argues for the acceptance of the sea, identified with the mother, but implying memory, dissolution of the ego, expansiveness, sensuality, risk, vulnerability, uncertainty - that is, the surrender of an ethos of control and power. This sea is also poetry, the muses, with the suggestion that its basis is in the presymbolic: "its beat and long reverberation, / its booming and delicate echo, / its ripple that spells a charm / on the sand" (304) - the sea spells a charm on the blank page of the beach. The sea is inclusive, as the "Image or Eidolon of Thetis" tells Helen: A woman's wiles are a net; they would take the stars or a grasshopper in its mesh; they would sweep the sea for a bubble's iridescence or a flying-fish; they would plunge beneath the surface, without fear of the treacherous deep or a monstrous octopus (93) and so on. As a response to the Cantos, Helen in Egypt attempts to perform a rescue operation, to recall Pound to the sea, to accept the uncertainty that his poem proposes but which he is constantly at odds with and attempts to manhandle.(11) Often in H.D.'s later sequences, perhaps most explicitly in Vale Ave, we find the female protagonist drawing out the lover-poet from the soldier figure. Achilles's transformation into the New Mortal begins when at the peak of his military power the glance he exchanges with Helen evokes dim memories of Thetis and sets off a process of self-questioning. In many respects, the broken Achilles who finds himself cast up on the shores of Egypt, still somewhat shell-shocked and suffering bouts of paranoia, is an apt image of Pound at Pisa. The well-known Dryad passage in Canto 83 is usually understood to be addressed to H.D.; certainly, she would have understood the prayer as calling out to her: "[Greek Text Omitted] [Dryad], your eyes are like the clouds over Taishan / When some of the rain has fallen / and half remains yet to fall [. . .] / Dryad, thy peace is like water" (83/530).(12) Surely, H.D. would have read the Pisan Cantos as the cracking of Pound's ego; in a moment of self-examination, Pound himself admits (quoting Villon): "Les larmes que j'ai crees m'inondent / Tard, tres tard je t'ai connue, la Tristesse, / I have been hard as youth sixty years" (80/513).(13) Of course, what is most striking about the Pisan Cantos is their more personal voice, whose sense of lost hopes for society, and with it his poem, is most poignantly expressed in the remembrance of past friendships. Pound attempts to recover some grounds for his poem through the flooding up of memory, to a large degree memories of the London years when H.D.'s and Pound's lives, both personally and poetically, were so intertwined. Consequently, the texture of the Pisan Cantos is more flowing and less collaged out of his reading than most of the Cantos that precede and follow. There is also a renewed assertion of the mythopoetic, the desire to connect with the natural process and the consequent diminution of the belief in willfully remaking history. However, during his years at St. Elizabeths, Pound was unable to pursue his poem in a manner that would incorporate such self-doubt. While working on Helen in Egypt, H.D. received a letter in which Pound with characteristic tact asserted, "Have felt yr / vile Freud all bunk / [. . .] You got into the wrong pig sty, ma chere. But not too late to climb out" (qtd. by Pearson in H.D., Tribute xii). At about the same time he was writing Canto 91, with the notorious passage that reads in part Democracies electing their sewage till there is no clear thought about holiness a dung flow from 1913 and, in this, their kikery functioned, Marx, Freud and the american beaneries Filth under filth. . . . (91/613-14) Not only is this a unique instance in the Cantos, as far as I know, where Pound italicizes a passage written in his own voice, but also this appears in the middle of one of the more sustained visionary moments of the entire poem, full of water and light, a Canto that has some striking parallels with a number of passages in Helen in Egypt. Pound here deliberately sabotages or at least scars his own vision - symptomatic of his own weakening ability to maintain the utopian within history. The contaminating forces of modernity that he fears will erase "holiness" from human experience have taken hold of Pound's own voice, and although he would name that which prevents his vision from full, flawless realization, we cannot but see that what he would deny is what he needs to recognize: the unconscious and the underclasses, which the names of Freud and Marx designate. In the final Drafts and Fragments, overwhelmed by a sense of futility, Pound once again allows his personal voice and feelings of vulnerability to sound through his verse. Several months after his release from St. Elizabeths in 1958, H.D. sent Pound the as yet unpublished Helen in Egypt, shortly followed by her memoir End to Torment (Robinson 432). Although apparently Pound's response to the poem was noncommittal, it is nonetheless notable that only in the last pages of the Cantos is H.D. explicitly named for the first time: But for the sun and serenitas (19th May '59) H.D. once said "serenitas" (Atthis, etc.) at Dieudonne's in pre-history. (113/787) Again, Pound recalls the London years before the First World War ("in prehistory"), the time of youthful ambition and prior to his entanglements in history. We know from a letter Pound wrote H.D. in September 1959 that this passage refers to a specific event - an imagist dinner in 1914 at the Dieudonne restaurant in London where H.D. made this remark about a Sappho fragment addressed to Atthis - but which more generally is remembered by the elderly Pound as a time of relative tranquillity: "Not since Briget [Patmore], Richard [Aldington], the four of us, has there been any harmony around me" (qtd. in Materer 275).(14) As at Pisa, H.D. evidently recalls Pound to a time of youthful optimism and artistic companionship that he hoped would lead to a new renaissance. H.D.'s appearance here is particularly telling, since the underlying sentiment of Canto 113 is Pound's inability to rest, to stop his compulsiveness: "but the mind as Ixion, unstill, ever turning" (113/790). Undoubtedly, it would be too much to claim that here or elsewhere in the final Cantos Pound is acknowledging and responding to H.D.'s poem, yet H.D. remains a figure in his consciousness for a serenity lost. Considering Helen in Egypt as a critical response to the Cantos may go some way toward situating H.D.'s poem within the larger field of poetic modernism, but the more consequential and perplexing question concerns the form of H.D.'s poem and its relationship with other modernist epics. Superficially, Helen in Egypt appears unrelated to the Poundian epic and other modernist specimens, which perhaps explains its absence from general discussions of the genre. The challenge facing H.D. was not simply to offer critique or an alternative narrative to the patriarchal versions, but also to create a form that somehow enacts what the poem proposes, that, like the exchange between Helen and Achilles, acts on the readers in such a way that their more generous but repressed impulses are called forth. In developing a long form out of imagist practice, Pound treated the imagist poem as essentially a realist fragment that could be collaged into complex constructions capable of containing an indefinite diversity. Pound's most fundamental innovation in the Cantos was to create a form capable not only of incorporating any sort of subject matter but also that could include virtually all registers of discourse, breaking down the protective wall separating the poetic from the discursive - what Bakhtin calls the novelization of the epic (6-7, 39). The poem becomes a space into which a multiplicity of discourses can be put into dialogue, and this became the general formal model for a major tradition of modernist long poems, such as Williams's Paterson, Zukofsky's "A," Olson's The Maximus Poems, and Duncan's Passages. By breaking down the barrier between, and putting into juxtaposition, discursive and lyrical discourses, Pound wanted to make his poem capable of engaging with the practical world, and also to participate in the utopian amelioration of society by showing how the spheres of historical and aesthetic experience could be brought into accord. When Helen in Egypt is put alongside Pound's "poem including history," what is immediately striking is the de-historicization and linguistic purity of H.D.'s poem. H.D.'s imagist practice focuses on the poem as visionary, in opposition to the material and historical present and rejecting the limitations of the real as is. H.D.'s poetry characteristically uses a limited and simple vocabulary (except for the numerous, often exotic proper names of divinities, flora, and places), is set in a mythologized past, and focuses on a few, frequently reiterated images. Even compared with the more aesthete of her contemporaries, say Wallace Stevens, the deliberateness with which H.D. expunges the historical present from her poetry is striking.(15) There are exceptions, but it is interesting that her most adventurous experiment in collaging different linguistic registers and historical materials, "Good Frend" (incorporated into By Avon River), was the last sequence H.D. wrote before beginning on Helen in Egypt, thus highlighting the deliberateness of her choice to return to mythological Greek materials. Often accused of being escapist, H.D. accepted this characterization, since the poet's concern is to hold open the possibilities of desire against the admonitions of "the real," and the poem's tension is the inevitable asymmetry of desire and the real.(16) Consequently, the collage method as employed by Pound and Williams, although similarly intended to activate a deadened reality, was still too committed to a representational aesthetics, since it tended to treat discreet fragments as realist data. Robert Duncan has suggested that H.D.'s relative formal conservatism is a measure of her openness to the sea and was needed to limit "the riot of the imagination" ("H.D. Book, 2": 117). While H.D. adopts a more conventional narrative or lyrical voice for her poem, this voice has a propensity to shift, to include or contain other voices or consciousnesses, creating a most disorienting effect. To be true to its own proposition, Helen in Egypt must ground itself on the groundlessness of the sea. The poem offers itself as the impossibility of a 300-page lyric, a quest narrative without telos, an epic of negative capability. To keep open possibilities beyond the real as given, it must avoid being confined by its own arguments. To propose an alternative narrative, a transposition of values such that the feminine or maternal replaces the masculine death cult risks simply inversely repeating the cycle of repression. The maternal sea is not proposed as the antithesis of the masculine warrior ethos but its actual basis, which is repressed, thus locking the mind into antitheses. The Great Goddess subsumes all such antitheses, is death as much as birth and love (17); in fact, in H.D.'s work "she" is as likely to appear as Zeus, Amen, God, Proteus "the Nameless-of-many-Names" (106), or Father as Thetis, Isis, Aphrodite, or Mother. Achilles's repression of the goddess is an effort to deny death, to achieve immortality, which is why Thetis is responsible for his famous weak point. The effort to deny death manifests itself in the desire for dominance and violence toward others, a psychological substitute for a sense of immortality. So Helen-H.D. must not stop at offering a defense of herself; she must accept vulnerability as the grounds for an alternative ethos to that of power and dominance, and the first step is to reveal dominance itself as grounded in vulnerability. Vulnerability and its uncertainties become something like the ever-shifting ground of the human condition. Helen in Egypt in a sense acts therapeutically for the poet and on the readers to foster a mode of consciousness beyond argument. The texture of the poem - its constant circularity, folding back on itself, and apparent contradictoriness - is intended to release us from irritable reaching after certainties. H.D. often acknowledges the threat and terror of the dissolution and shedding of old selves her poetry proposes, and the consequent need to pull back and establish some coherence. Her late sequences characteristically proceed in a centrifugal-centripetal manner, most famously emblematized in the image of the seashell in The Walls Do Not Fall, which alternately opens itself up to and closes out the sea tide (CP 512-14). What is largely lacking in H.D.'s work is a sense of the sinister or of evil, such as one finds in, say, Djuna Barnes or Mary Butts. On the rare occasion when evil is mentioned - "Evil was active in the land / . . . Dev-ill was after us" (CP 511) - it appears too much like medieval allegory for its terror to be convincing. No doubt, this in part explains why some readers feel a thinness in H.D.'s work, presumably reflecting the limitations imposed by the privileged life she lived. On the other hand, this lack of an irredeemably dark side reflects H.D.'s rejection, like Pound and unlike Eliot, of humankind's essential sinfulness, and her understanding of poetry's task as that of acceptance, as promoting an inclusive consciousness. I have been suggesting that for H.D. to identify an other as beyond transformation was to risk locking herself into an antithesis that simply perpetuates history's antagonisms. Pound was an obvious illustration of such entanglement, one in which he described himself as being "furious from perception" - an expression he evidently applied to Hitler (90/606, 104/741). What distinguishes Helen in Egypt from other modernist epics is its acceptance and enactment of the consequences of its writtenness, which is certainly due to its author's self-consciousness of her social narratization as "female." Understandably, the usual assumption on approaching the poem is that Helen's exploration of the possibilities of self-hood will provide the narrative continuity of the poem, however obliquely. Robert O'Brien Hokanson has effectively pointed out the problems such an assumption inevitably encounters in attempting to rationalize the poem. The poem's initial starting point presumably takes up the alternative tale that Helen was never at Troy but "had been transposed or translated from Greece into Egypt" (1). However, soon enough Helen herself appears uncertain as to whether or not she was at Troy, and the likelihood is that she was, if only in the sense that the dominant narrative of herself would insist that she was. There are even hints of an explanatory link between these versions since, as Troy is falling, Helen escapes down a spiral stairway, apparently makes her way to the harbor, and then presumably is transported to Egypt (127-28, 143, 26667). So, early on we have less alternative versions to choose between than two, held in dialogue with Helen learning to accept her complicity in both. This doubleness characterizes the figure of Helen throughout the classical tradition (Austin 48n, 83-89), and H.D. reiterates many of its traditional manifestations: Helen's double twin birth (Clytemnestra and the Dioscuri) and their twinned destinies, her double fatherhood (Zeus and Tyndareus), her double kidnapping (Theseus and Paris), her two husbands (Menelaus and Paris). As mentioned, Achilles too is double, and Helen acts to bring forth the lover-poet out of the warrior. The spiraling staircase down which Helen flees is obviously another version of H.D.'s favorite image of the seashell whose involutions spiral back to the groundlessness of the rhythms of the sea, an image of poetry itself. In this sense, Helen at Troy dissolves back into the sea, the shifting matrix of poetry, to be reborn as Helen in Egypt.(18) The opening headnote's somewhat peculiar assertion that Helen was "transposed or translated" rather than "transported" to Egypt already hints that the poem will concern itself more with questions of writing and reading than asserting the authority of one narrative over others. To begin with at least, the poem seems to propose that the "present" of the poem has Helen in the Temple of Amen, and the body of the poem consists of her recollections and reconstructions of her past. Clearly this is a theater of reverie in which the imaginary and the "real" freely interpenetrate. If we privilege this moment with Helen in the Temple, we find that she is reading hieroglyphics on the walls, although she does not know the script. The fascination of Egyptian hieroglyphics is that they present themselves as natural language, signifying without being understood, so that Helen-H.D. is reading a language she does not understand, "the indecipherable Amen-script" (21). This is emblematic of H.D.'s poetry in which the image vibrates signification but the dictionary is missing. On the one hand, the hieroglyph-image is irreducible to a single, static meaning; while on the other, there is the possibility that the meanings are no more than subjective projections - the hieroglyph can mean anything and thus nothing. In this situation of too much or too little signifying, the reading (or writing) is endless, a constant process of revision with no guarantee of "progress." In contrast with Pound, whose image is relatively static and takes on further meaning through juxtaposition, H.D. constantly returns to an image to unfold through rereading further possibilities. Meaningfulness resides in the wandering reading itself, compounded by the participation of others in the reading, or as Duncan has remarked on H.D.'s hieroglyph: "Here, to experience is to read, to be aware involves at once the senses and the translation into language of our own" ("H.D. Book, 2": 28). Consequently, if the poem is concerned with Helen's sense of identity, it is discovered in this interminable process of rereading, by others as well as herself, which is why Helen "herself is the writing" (22).(19) Achilles's transforming sea journey also proves to be a process of reading as he "measured the stars / with the sway of a ship's mast" (205; also 58, 59, 274) - learning to decipher the stars from a free-floating position. Taking a closer look at the overall sequence of Helen in Egypt, one might suggest that a general development can be discerned, although it is more like devolution. I suspect that most readers would agree that each of the three major parts of the poem becomes increasingly difficult to keep in focus, which is more than merely a matter of accumulated complexity. In fact, it is not at all clear that the poem attempts to consecutively build on itself. The first part, "Pallinode," is the easiest to follow because it is appropriately the most argumentative, including the critique of war outlined previously. "Pallinode" also contains another defense, that of Clytemnestra for murdering Agamemnon in retaliation for the sacrifice of their daughter to appease the gods for his own sacrilege. However, Helen's justification of her sister repeats patriarchy's own logic: patriarchy's crime against Clytemnestra has created its mirror image in her, and consequently her "justice" ultimately serves to perpetuate the logic of violence she would condemn. At this point there is the first appearance of the voice or eidolon of Thetis herself, telling or speaking through Helen: Clytaemnestra struck with her mind, with the Will-to-Power, . . . does it even the Balance if a wife repeats a husband's folly? never; the law is different; if a woman fights, she must fight by stealth. (97) While such passages make some readers uneasy, H.D.'s conviction is that the poet's response must move beyond forensics, otherwise one is condemned to mirror and be limited by that which is critiqued. At least, once having made the argument, it can then be kicked aside like Wittgenstein's ladder. As mentioned, this presumably was how H.D. felt Pound had entrapped himself. Consequently, Thetis's instructive admonition to Helen to leave aside argument concludes the "Pallinode" and leads into part 2, "Leuke." The overall structure of "Leuke" is determined by Helen's revisitations of past selves with past men, first Paris and then Theseus; she recognizes the limits of those past selves as defined by those men. When the men attempt to insist on their perception of Helen, she does not so much reject as simply move on from them. This is particularly striking in the case of Theseus, the figure of Freud, who many commentators have taken as the councillor figure enabling Helen to achieve self-realization. Aside from the odd choice of Theseus for this role, who as we are told has a long history of abandoning women (148, 163), it is notable that Helen consistently ignores the profusion of advise he offers. H.D. here seems to replay her curious relationship with Freud, compounded of profound respect and subtle stubborn resistance. As Helen lies on the psychoanalytic couch, "a lyric voice" (178) begins to speak through her, which, like the eidolon of Thetis at the end of part 1, takes her beyond Theseus and into part 3. This voice alarms Theseus but then seems to subsume him as well, since we are told in the headnote to section VI.7 - beginning, "Thus, thus, thus, / as day, night, / as wrong, right, // as dark, light . . ." (190) - that this is spoken by Theseus, yet clearly this is not his voice, as if Helen has drawn out his buried other. In fact, this voice is surely Thetis again, but now even more clearly internalized, or perhaps we ought to say Helen's self is being externalized, in any case dissolved back into the sea and mysteriously transported to Egypt. Although part 3, "Eidolon," presumably takes place back in Egypt with Achilles, it is in fact difficult to fix not only in place and time but even in terms of a stable dyadic relationship. Achilles, especially, and Paris appear less as discrete characters than as part of Helen's own memory and consciousness. Helen's identity or voice at any given moment is superimposed against the ever-shifting background of Thetis the sea - "the topography of the text and the text as topography, wanders, will not stay in place" (Hirsh 441). In part 3, we are not only reminded that the poem is being woven out of Helen's reading of the Amen-script on the temple walls, but that poetry has precedence over the facts of history: "Was Troy lost for a kiss, / or a run of notes on a lyre?" (230). It is significant that H.D. picks up this thought from the Iliad itself, indicating that she is reading for the cracks that reveal the repressed within Homer's text.(20) The section goes on to ask if the story of Troy was intended "to inspire us with endless, / intricate questioning?" (231), and this entire section is a catalogue of questions, encapsulating the poem as a whole, which probably contains more question marks than any other poem of comparable length in the language. The following section answers these questions in the affirmative, "Indeed it was 'Apollo's snare.' None other" (232), or at least the headnote does, since the poetic text is again a series of questions. The line-by-line reading experience of the poem is a process of constant, at times wearying, shifting and folding back on itself. The poetry itself has a sealike oscillation with gradual movements toward epiphanic moments where Helen asserts clarity, followed by dissolving plunges back into the ocean to start over again. Helen in Egypt concludes with what purports to be a culminating insight, the "key or clue to the rest / of the mystery"; and the final lines preceding the brief coda are: there is no before and no after, there is one finite moment that no infinite joy can disperse or thought of past happiness tempt from or dissipate; now I know the best and the worst; the seasons revolve around a pause in the infinite rhythm of the heart and of heaven. (303-04) This passage apparently asserts the present moment in its unequivocal finitude, always opening toward the uncertainty of the future rather than freezing the present in relation to some past moment or some abstracted future. If this is a plausible understanding of Helen-H.D.'s intent, then this cannot be allowed in turn to become frozen into an argument. So this privileging of the subjective experiential present, if we are correct in conflating the "finite moment" with "a pause" in the last stanza, is folded back into the larger contexts of the continuity of both the individual and the cosmos. However, the headnote to this section is hardly reassuring: "One greater than Helen must answer, though perhaps we do not wholly understand the significance of the Message" (303). Nonetheless, I have been arguing that Helen in Egypt proceeds on the unstable grounds of this "one finite moment," such that the paradoxes, circular logic, and contradictions on the level of abstract concepts reflect H.D.'s effort to develop a poetic thought of process and acceptance. Hardly lacking in ambition, H.D. attempted to develop an "epic" work without the messianic impulses characteristic of the American long poem since at least Whitman. The woman's epic could not simply offer itself as critique of and parallel alternative to its male counterparts, although such critique is contained in H.D.'s poem. In terms of poetic materials and discursive range, Helen in Egypt is comparatively limited to what would be acceptable within a fairly conventional conception of the lyric. Yet, the poem is clearly of epic intent; H.D. works within or beneath the comparable texts of her peers, problematizing the act of reading itself. Helen in Egypt gives us a way to read Homer and the Cantos anew, preparing us for change, personally and culturally. NOTES 1 Several studies that offer themselves as comprehensive examinations of the American modernist epic or long poem, but at best give H.D. only passing mention, are Dickie, Miller, Rosenthal and Gall, and Walker. Keller's study of long poems by contemporary women poets gives some indication of the extensive impact H.D. has had on subsequent generations of poets working in long forms. 2 Friedman has discussed Helen in Egypt within the context of the epic tradition with very brief remarks on the Cantos (216); see also Langeteig. 3 In End to Torment, H.D. reiterates Pearson's linkage with the Cantos almost every time she mentions Helen in Egypt (32, 41, 49), and apparently even refers to her poem as "Cantos" in correspondence with Pound (Robinson 432). 4 The published text of Helen in Egypt italicizes the prose headnotes H.D. added later to each section of the poem, which is helpful in distinguishing between the prose and poetry texts when quoting from the work. An exception is the coda, entitled "Eidolon," which is italicized and the only section without a headnote, possibly suggesting it was added later as well. 5 H.D. indicates the two main literary sources for this alternative Helen narrative, Stesichorus's "Palinode" (a brief fragment preserved in Plato's Phaedrus 243a) and Euripides's Helen. Appropriately, these two sources represent the lyric and dramatic traditions in opposition to the epic. The Sophist Gorgias wrote a defense of Helen as well, although this may be more an exercise in showing off his rhetorical skills in defending a difficult case. 6 Cf. Norman Austin's intriguing remark on the Iliad: The mysteries of the Mother, if we are authorized to read Helen as one of the icons of the Mother, have been translated into the male quest for beauty and honor, into the study of the function of beauty and its effect on the libido in human behavior. (133) 7 The "Ur-Cantos" version of this passage can be found in the revised edition of Personae 245. Between the appearances of the two Cantos versions, Pound also published this translation from Andreas Divus's Latin translation of Homer in "Translators of Greek: Early Translators of Homer" (Literary Essays 262-64), which includes the full Anticlea passage. In all three versions, only very minor changes were made in the translation except for the progressive elimination of lines from the end of the passage. 8 References to the Cantos will give the Canto number followed by page number(s) separated by a slash. Pagination in the most recent printings of the Cantos has been altered by the long belated interpolation of Cantos 72 and 73 into their proper place in the sequence; references in these printings can be located by simply adding 20 pages to the references I have given. 9 Hatcher argues that in the Cantos Circe is the mark of the active feminine principle that is the necessary complement to the masculine Odyssean principle. 10 Cf. Robert Kelly's remark: The traditional sciences [the occult], which can by our social forms be made superstitious holdovers, represent at best that empirical speculativeness which constitutes our best mind - study thereof can make us perceptive of conditions, states, rhythms we are no longer in our bodies conscious of. (6) 11 Hatlen has argued persuasively that Pound uses a variety of what might be called mytho-philosophical discourses, which, while having many analogies, are not necessarily compatible with each other, ranging from a polymorphous polytheism to rigid manichaeism. At any given point in the Cantos, there might be a different mix and (im)balance between these discourses. Hatlen's argument complements my point that, in reading Pound, H.D. attempts to draw out his better side, which can become lost when his more manichaean mode predominates. 12 For more extensive commentary on this passage, see French, who argues that Pound wrote it on or within a day or two of H.D.'s birthday. 13 At the very end of his life in 1968, Pound was interviewed by Pier Paolo Pasolini and, responding to a question concerning the personal in the Pisan Cantos, remarked: "When I was young, I didn't think about myself. In one of my Pisan cantos I also wrote: tard, tres tard, je t'ai connue, la tristesse. Late, very late, I came to know sadness" (Anderson 342). 14 Materer gives the entire letter, as well as commenting on both the background and poetic context of this allusion to H.D. in Canto 113. Aldington made a free translation of Sappho's poem, which Pound admired, and Pound provided a partial paraphrase of his own in Canto 5/17-18. Pound's 1916 poem "[Greek Text Omitted]" [O Atthis] was composed around certain words and phrases from both Sappho and Aldington's version and has widely been understood as addressed to H.D.: "I long for thy narrow breasts, / Thou restless, ungathered" (Personae 116). For commentary on these various versions and Sappho's presence throughout the Cantos, see Kenner's chapter "The Muse in Tatters" (54-75). 15 In a 1959 letter to Pound speaking of "Winter Love," H.D. refers to her "altmodisch manner" (Robinson 432). Also worth recalling is Williams's "Prologue" to Kora in Hell, where he quotes a 1916 letter from H.D. justifying her extensive deletions of "flippancies" from a poem of his she published in The Egoist: I consider this business of writing a very sacred thing! [. . .] I feel in the hey-ding-ding touch running through your poem a derivative tendency which, to me, is not you - not your very self. It is as if you were ashamed of your Spirit, ashamed of your inspiration! Williams responds in part: There is nothing sacred about literature, it is damned from one end to the other. There is nothing in literature but change and change is mockery. . . . But in any case H.D. misses the entire intent of what I am doing. . . . The hey-ding-ding touch was derivative, but it filled a gap that I did not know how better to fill at the time. (Williams 13) Williams effectively indicates the absence from H.D.'s work of a vast spectrum of registers and discourses, which might also remind us of Woolf's objection to Joyce's obscenity. There are obvious gender issues involved here, although other female modernists, such as Mina Loy or Djuna Barnes, had little difficulty using these lower modes for their own purposes. 16 For examples of H.D.'s characterization of the poet's work as "escapist," see By Avon River 74, 83-84, and Collecott 73. 17 Robert Graves's The White Goddess, which H.D. read while working on Helen in Egypt, argues exhaustingly that the Goddess embodies the full cycle of birth-death-rebirth, and patriarchy separated out and reified the various aspects of the Goddess into different gods and goddesses in order to obscure the fact that she subsumes them all. See the notes in H.D.'s Working Notebook for Helen in Egypt in Gregory, esp. 105. Freud too points out the tripartite nature of the Mother Goddess in "The Theme of the Three Caskets" (73-77). 18 Graves (103) points out that spirals are primeval symbols of death and rebirth. 19 This last quoted phrase is from the prose headnote and unitalicized for emphasis. Since the headnotes were added at the suggestion of Pearson sometime after the verse version was completed, they themselves are quite literally a rereading, and it is notable that the headnotes do tend to highlight the textuality of the poem. On the addition of the headnotes, see Dembo's interview with Pearson (440). 20 In Book VI of the Iliad, Helen attempts to shame Paris into joining the battle and concludes with the suggestion that Zeus had designed her fate and its tragic consequences so that future generations could sing about them (lines 357-58).

COPYRIGHT 1998 Hofstra University COPYRIGHT 2000 Gale Group Corinna's Going A-Maying Each flower has wept and bowed toward the east Above an hour since, yet you not drest; Nay! not so much as out of bed? When all the birds have matins said And sung their thankful hymns, 'tis sin, Nay, profanation, to keep in, When as a thousand virgins on this day Spring sooner than the lark, to fetch in May. Rise and put on your foliage, and be seen To come forth, like the springtime, fresh and green, Come, my Corinna, come; and coming, mark How each field turns a street, each street a park, Made green and trimmed with trees! see how Devotion gives each house a bough Or branch! each porch, each door, ere this, An ark, a tabernacle is, Made up of whitethorn neatly interwove, As if here were those cooler shades of love. Can such delights be in the street And open fields, and we not see't? Come, we'll abroad; and let's obey The proclamation made for May, And sin no more, as we have done, by staying; But, my Corinna, come, let's go a-Maying. ROBERT PINSKY: Even when Herrick ends his poem with a reminder that nobody is young forever, there's a springtime freshness to how he says it: Come, let us go, while we are in our prime, And take the harmless folly of the time! We shall grow old apace, and die Before we know our liberty. Our life is short, and our days run As fast away as does the sun. And, as a vapor or a drop of rain, Once lost, can ne'er be found again, So when you or I are made A fable, song, or fleeting shade, All love, all liking, all delight Lies drowned with us in endless night. Then, while time serves, and we are but decaying, Come, my Corinna, come, let's go a-Maying. In honor of May Day, Robert Pinsky, Poet Laureate of the United States, reads some passages from a poem titled "Corinna's Going A-Maying." A RealAudio version of this segment is available. ROBERT PINSKY, Poet Laureate: For the 17th century poet Robert Herrick the word "May" was a verb. In his poem "Corinna's Going A-Maying" he urges his girlfriend to get out of bed so they can go maying, enjoy themselves with the other lovers, who are decorating town and field with flowering branches.

Her eyes are shining gold. Her tail is long and like a pliant bamboo. Her lithe body makes me feel weird. I try to hold her though she is gone. I hear her voice from a distance. 'come on girl.

If you go away on this summer day If you go away on this summer day, Then you might as well take the sun away; All the birds that flew in the summer sky, When our love was new and our hearts were high; When the day was young and the night was long, And the moon stood still for the night bird's song. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. But if you stay, I'll make you a day Like no day has been, or will be again; We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain, We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind. Then if you go, I'll understand, Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand, If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. If you go away, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop turning Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving you, Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slowly till the next hello, If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. But if you stay, I'll make you a night Like no night has been, or will be again. I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch, I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much. But if you go, go, I won't cry, Though the good is gone from the word goodbye, If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. If you go away, as I know you must, There'll be nothing left in the world to trust, Just an empty room, full of empty space, Like the empty look I see on your face. I'd have been the shadow of your shadow If I thought it might have kept me by your side. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

WHAT is it? Who speaks?" "Pilot knows me, and John and Mary know I am here. I came only this evening," I answered. "Great God!--what delusion has come over me? What sweet madness has seized me?" "No delusion--no madness: your mind, sir, is too strong for delusion, your health too sound for frenzy." "And where is the speaker? Is it only a voice? Oh! I CANNOT see, but I must feel, or my heart will stop and my brain burst. Whatever--whoever you are--be perceptible to the touch or I cannot live!" He groped; I arrested his wandering hand, and prisoned it in both mine. "Her very fingers!" he cried; "her small, slight fingers! If so there must be more of her." The muscular hand broke from my custody; my arm was seized, my shoulder--neck--waist--I was entwined and gathered to him. "Is it Jane? WHAT is it? This is her shape--this is her size--" "And this her voice," I added. "She is all here: her heart, too. God bless you, sir! I am glad to be so near you again." "Jane Eyre!--Jane Eyre," was all he said. "My dear master," I answered, "I am Jane Eyre: I have found you out--I am come back to you." "In truth?--in the flesh? My living Jane?" "You touch me, sir,--you hold me, and fast enough: I am not cold like a corpse, nor vacant like air, am I?" "My living darling! These are certainly her limbs, and these her features; but I cannot be so blest, after all my misery. It is a dream; such dreams as I have had at night when I have clasped her once more to my heart, as I do now; and kissed her, as thus--and felt that she loved me, and trusted that she would not leave me." "Which I never will, sir, from this day." "Never will, says the vision? But I always woke and found it an empty mockery; and I was desolate and abandoned--my life dark, lonely, hopeless--my soul athirst and forbidden to drink--my heart famished and never to be fed. Gentle, soft dream, nestling in my arms now, you will fly, too, as your sisters have all fled before you: but kiss me before you go--embrace me, Jane." "There, sir--and there!"' I pressed my lips to his once brilliant and now rayless eyes--I swept his hair from his brow, and kissed that too. He suddenly seemed to arouse himself: the conviction of the reality of all this seized him. "It is you--is it, Jane? You are come back to me then?" "I am." "And you do not lie dead in some ditch under some stream? And you are not a pining outcast amongst strangers?" "No, sir! I am an independent woman now." - excerpt of Charlotte Bront's "Jane Eyre" Chapter 37 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas - Dont leave me Il faut oublier - (you) must forget Tout peut s'oublier - everything can be forgotten Qui s'enfuit dj - all that has already passed Oublier le temps = forgetting the time Des malentendus - the misunderstandings Et le temps perdu - and the time lost A savoir comment - to konwing how Oublier ces heures - forgetting the hours Qui tuaient parfois - which sometimes killed A coups de pourquoi - the blows of why Le coeur du bonheur - the heart of happiness Ne me quitte pas - dont leave me Moi je t'offrirai - Me, I will offer you Des perles de pluie - pearls of rain Venues de pays - from lands O il ne pleut pas - where it doesn't rains Je creuserai la terre - i'll dig (into) the ground Jusqu'aprs ma mort - till my death Pour couvrir ton corps - to cover your body D'or et de lumire - with gold and light Je ferai un domaine -I will make a world (kingdom) O l'amour sera roi - where love will be king O l'amour sera loi - where love will be law O tu seras reine - and you shall be queen Ne me quitte pas - don't leave me Ne me quitte pas Je t'inventerai - I will invent Des mots insenss - nonsense words Que tu comprendras - that you will understand Je te parlerai - i will speak De ces amants-l - of those loves Qui ont vu deux fois - which have seen two times Leurs coeurs s'embraser - their hearts burning Je te raconterai - i'll tell you L'histoire de ce roi - the story of this king Mort de n'avoir pas - (who) dies from never having Pu te rencontrer - told you Ne me quitte pas - don't leave me On a vu souvent - we have often seen Rejaillir le feu - (splashing? hum) of the fire D'un ancien volcan - of an ancient volcano Qu'on croyait trop vieux - that we belived too be too old (to spit fire) Il est parat-il - it seems (literary inversion) Des terres brles - fom the burnt earth Donnant plus de bl - giving more wheat Qu'un meilleur avril - than a better april Et quand vient le soir - and when the evening comes Pour qu'un ciel flamboie - that the sky blazes Le rouge et le noir - the red and teh black Ne s'pousent-ils pas - aren't they married Je ne vais plus pleurer - i'm not goign to cry Je ne vais plus parler - i'm not going to talk Je me cacherai l - i will hide A te regarder - from your look Danser et sourire - dancing and laughing Et t'couter - and listening to you Chanter et puis rire = singing and then laughing Laisse-moi devenir - let me become (laisse -moi l'omber - is "leave me in teh dark"... but the devenir suggests otherwise) L'ombre de ton ombre - the shadow of your shadow L'ombre de ta main - the shadow of your hand L'ombre de ton chien - the shadow of your dog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti but he was killed in a silly car accident in a silly town.

And I totally agree with him on these points: Q: Why do you think McGreevey wrote his book? A: He told me once that the way for a politician to handle a scandal his to face the public and ask for their forgiveness. When I said that was not enough, he said I didn't understand the American people. He said all you have to do is give them the "best show in town" and they will forgive you. That's what he is doing with his book, in an effort to restore his public image. It goes without saying that he also is seeking to cash in on his fleeting notoriety. I'm pleased to see that many in the gay community have rejected his efforts to appropriate their cause. Q: Do you believe McGreevey had love affairs with other men who work for him? A: Although McGreevey denies having an affair with other men who work for him, I don't believe him. McGreevey surrounded himself with young aides that were much closer to him than I was, and some of them were placed in significant positions in government. Q: What do you think about McGreevey's appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show? A: Oprah Winfrey was wrong to promote McGreevey's book on her show. McGreevey sexually assaulted me, and Winfrey should empathize with the victim, not with the aggressor, who apparently was far more powerful than myself. I'm very sorry Oprah gave McGreevey a platform. She herself was a victim of sexual assault, and therefore she should have been more sensitive about it. Women are much more concerned about issues of rape, assault and harassment usually; it doesn't do justice to her audience. I e-mailed her producers twice, but they never replied. All that in addition to her apparent commitment to only promote honest books, which this one surely isn't.

This decision, ratified by Penor Rinpoche, supreme head of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, was initially received with incredulity by Richard Gere, who had hitherto believed himself to be the superstar most favored. "If someone's a tulku, that's great," he was quoted as saying. "But no one knows if that's true." How insightful, if only accidentally. At a subsequent Los Angeles appearance by the Dalai Lama, Seagal was seated in the front row and Gere two rows back, thus giving the latter's humility and submissiveness a day at the races. Suggestions that Seagal's fortune helped elevate him to the Himalayan status of tulku are not completely discounted even by some adepts and initiates. * Supporters of the Dorge Shugden deity -- a "Dharma protector" and an ancient object of worship and propitiation in Tibet -- have been threatened with violence and ostracism and even death following the Dalai Lama's abrupt prohibition of this once-venerated godhead. A Swiss television documentary graphically intercuts footage of His Holiness, denying all knowledge of menace and intimidation, with scenes of his followers' enthusiastically promulgating "Wanted" posters and other paraphernalia of excommunication and persecution. * While he denies being a Buddhist "Pope," the Dalai Lama is never happier than when brooding in a celibate manner on the sex lives of people he has never met. "Sexual misconduct for men and women consists of oral and anal sex," he has repeatedly said in promoting his book on these matters. "Using one's hand, that is sexual misconduct." But, as ever with religious stipulations, there is a nutty escape clause. "To have sexual relations with a prostitute paid by you and not by a third person does not constitute improper behavior." Not all of this can have been said just to placate Richard Gere, or to attract the royalties from "Pretty Woman." -------------------------------- wow...Enlightened ONE what about Peter?

The Dalai Lama renewed his call for "meaningful" autonomy for Tibet within China and said China, "whether intentionally or unintentionally," is carrying out "cultural genocide" in Tibet. what, exactly, is 'cultural genocide' ? And what about another NPR news here: "Emerging from the Shadow of Polygamy" Authorities in Texas removed more than 400 youngsters from a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints compound last week. Now, the children who once lived in near isolation must transition to mainstream society. Some concerned that State has no right to take 400 youngsters away from their parents and from the religious isolation these 400 youngsters are subject to... To me such peculiar parallel between these two seemingly disparate News, and between LDS vs. Dalai Lama's religion are quite profound. sye would like to tell his high tale: US, 'whether intentionally or unintentionally,' is carrying out 'cultural genocide' in Western Texas, for better or for worse... you mean... seeking their extension of ' party genocide'?

Adam Trask's last word is 'timshel' THE NOVEL: Timshel-- Man's Ability to Choose Between Good and Evil Also would love to know what brought up 'an especially vicious review by Anthony West in The New Yorker' The story itself reminds me of Rilke's The Third Elegy: IT's one thing to sing about someone you love. But another thing entirely to sing that hidden guilty river-god of the blood. That one she knows only from a distance, her lover, what can he say about the lord of passion who, often out of his solitude, before she could comfort him, often as though she didn't exist, oh, dripping, with what unrecognizable substance, raised his godhead, inciting the night to endless uproar? O the Neptune of the blood, O his terrible trident! O the dark wind of his breast from the twisted shell! Listen, the night hollows and deepens itself. You stars, doesn't the lover get his desire for the bloved's face from you? Doesn't his intimate insight into her pure face come from the pure stars? No,it wasn't you and it wasn't his mother who bent his brows into the bow of expectancy. It's not for you, girl, though you happen to feel him now, not for you that his lips bend into more fruitful expression. Do you really think your gentle approach could convulse him like that, as you wander like the spring breeze?

The beginning, for there is one, is always simple: a prairie edged with trees that close like a door behind you. The path rises and falls like the body of a woman, a man, then suddenly branches. Stay calm, the sky counsels, there is no need to choose, you can follow them all at the same time and here there is no such word as lost. Soon you are so deep reason disappears like a bird into thick foliage, daily life stalls, your son's face blurs although you swore you would never forget him. Is this the time to mention the man nearly double your weight who travels inside your body, the exchange of breath, or the tremors that mock the branch where the flown bird lit? If you care to look, you will see nothing, but this you already know as you know his eyes have deepened to a certain shade of green you willingly enter as if it were a place. You feel there is no end to this: you feel it as a violet sky burning down the edges of the Earth, you feel it pathless, rolling like prairie past the shallow islands of the clouds, out past every undiscovered planet, you feel it as a failure of language, as absence, deep space that offers the eye no place to stop. TOURNAMENT OF DESTRUCTION Santa Fe Speedway No one's here for the polite processional and so we cheer the sudden end of protocol when drivers rev their souped-up engines in a look-at-me strut, firing as unpredictably as love. slowly the red sky darkens. Lights go up around the oval track like the circuitry of sexual excitement waking the nerves. When the serious music of speed begins, thousands of cubic inches of adulterated power vibrate the wooden bleachers and every paying customer tracks its course up his spine, up and around the thrilled muscle of his heart. Crazily the cars blur sideways into the first curve, pitching fist-sized chunks of clay off the track, and obligingly you lean into me. That, too, addresses my heart like your absence when you lean away as you must at the next curve, the warm rub of shoulder to shoulder gone suddenly cool. The cars circle in dust so thick we eat it, take it in to veil the eye, torment the inner ear, and I think how we, too, repeat our ceremony of injury. Little wonder this place speaks to you, you who are never anywhere except in motion, you who cannot get enough of speed, you with your habit of anarchy -- no sleep, bad food, the reckless disarray you call home, no wonder you understand the object is not catch and hold but chase and pass after the brief neck and neck of parallels as again one car slips up against another and they touch down the full length of their bodies and race that way at breakneck speed until metal tears like paper calling into question an old idea of safety and one of them pulls free with only the track ahead, blank as the sky, unbridled. from Divine Attention The Garden of Love read this poem by William Blake today on a library display today. The part about "compelled to the chaste" struck home. I laid me down upon a bank, Where Love lay sleeping; I heard among the rushes dank Weeping, weeping. Then I went to the heath and the wild, To the thistles and thorns of the waste; And they told me how they were beguiled, Driven out, and compelled to the chaste. I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen; A Chapel was built in the midst, Where I used to play on the green. And the gates of this Chapel were shut And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door; So I turned to the Garden of Love That so many sweet flowers bore. And I saw it was filled with graves, And tombstones where flowers should be; And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds, And binding with briars my joys and desires. --trane Mon May 09, 2005 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Lil, how can I save you from LDS lately, your writings show nothing but troubles.

I'd prioritize my criticism about as below. (I don't really blame the author himself much, who was, as I said, probablt writing a dissertation and thus under duress.) "Theory" here (or whatever it is) is just another example of the methodologization I object to in US universities generally. Not enough attention to actual poems or overall historical context. Seeming decision to bracket out esthetic values of poems entirely. Too much methodological and polemical writing; perhaps this could have been segregated in an appendix Too much attention to the distinctness of the new approach, to the exclusion of preexisting approaches which aren't even considered. In the end, this new approach will just be thrown into the soup with the others; it isn't going to abolish them or destroy them. Overselling the originality of the new approach. The group nature of poetic composition during this period is common knowledge. Intertextuality likewise -- the cliche about the most admired Chinese poet, Tu Fu, is that every line of his poems was a reference to some other poem or some other writing. This was regarded as very high praise. In standard Chinese editions, every poem will be footnoted with historical references and poetic echoes. A 40-word poem can easily have 10 footnotes. The conciseness of Chinese poetry is made possible by the fact that one word can reference a whole story. (Often proper names, but "cherry tree" in English would normally mean George Washington, if we wrote like Chinese.) 4. Arch and opaque writing.

To enter that rhythm where the self is lost, where breathing: heartbeat : and the subtle music of their relation make our dance, and hastern us to the moment when all things become magic, another possibility. That blind moment, midnight, when all sight begins, and the dance itself is all our breath, and we ourselves the moment of life and death. Blinded; but given now another saving, the self as vision, at all times perceiving, all arts all senses being languages, delivered of will, being transformed in truth for life's sake surrendering moment and images, writing the poem; in love making, bringing to birth. Hearing and Seeing In the front of the coffee house sat one unfamiliar Touseled and rough hair, though neat and particular Some distance away, though I couldn't dare move From fear of disrupting the listening of others who've Also come to enjoy. Failed to catch eye or attention, no surprise: I'm not used to these patterns of take and give But soon it seemed- not "seemed" but WAS That this person would take not eye nor ear off from the stage. Our Muse, she toils.... barks, and lulls; Who come out to see Her, watch Her and eachother And their own nonsense. Some read books, or write bad poetry. Nobody dares give all their attention- none ever. But this one, quiet soul, who shook head only once to brush out cobwebs, Then back to the artist. I could not, would not, might not, did not reach her. A smile, or a funny-face, couldn't be caught even in those tiny moments When the disciple turned from the Master. At the very end, I looked and saw, in horrible glorious grace That it was SURE this person did and could not be remotely aware Of my existence in this earth!

"The Initiation" - an excerption from 'Stick out your furry tongue, or fuck-all" by Ma Jian. A Tongue-lashing Ma Jian's story was published in early 1987 in a double issue of People's Literature, one of China's most prestigious literary journals. In late February, the story and its publishers were denounced. Liu Xinwu, the newly-appointed editor-in-chief of People's Literature, was suspended from his job and forced to make a self-criticism. The People's Daily criticism was couched in the following terms: "Stick Out Your Furry Tongue, or Fuck-all" uses the first person narrator to scavenge strange news and odd occurrences in Tibet. The narrator purposefully employs the most lurid language to distort the reality of life in the Tibetan region. He defames the image of our Tibetan compatriots, at the same time revealing his own complexes: an piece of vulgar filth masquerading as 'experimental' fiction... [ The editors of People's Literature] have realized that to publish such a work is a serious breach of Party and State policies on national minorities and religion, as well as the fact that it has seriously offended the feelings of Tibetan compatriots and harmed the fraternal unity of the minorities. It represents an abandonment of the socialist direction in the arts, and has had a most negative effect, with repercussions that will be hard to eliminate.

Many critics[attribution needed] consider the book to be one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, as well as one of the foremost Soviet satires, directed against a suffocatingly bureaucratic social order. - more from wiki Major thematic issues relating to Art and Women in the novel The ironies of the relationship between social power and Art are essential to the dramatic tension in the book. Shelley remarks in the Defence of Poetry that "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world", and as a poet/writer, the Master is so unacknowledged that he feels more at home in a lunatic asylum than in society, where he is subject to the whims of the actual legislators of the world, such as the bureaucrats of Massolit and their political masters. But the whole novel is directed at demonstrating to what it depicts as the corrupt philistines in power that they are less in control than they might wish. Above all they have no control over death or the spirit. They might mobilize the forces of darkness themselves, but fall short in a face-to-face contest with the Prince of Darkness -- and contests of this kind provide the content of most of the Moscow chapters of the first part of the novel. It is notable that Bulgakov attacks no actual political leaders. His targets are all minions of one kind or another, albeit comfortably placed minions, like Berlioz, the head of Massolit, the literary bureaucracy. Despite the grand gestures of universality - darkness and light, the world and the stars, historical and geographical range - the novel is to a great extent a psycho-drama playing itself out in the literary world. The protagonists are the Academy and Bohemia. Even Pilate and Christ clash on these terms of authority vs authenticity. Bulgakov induces a "willing suspension of disbelief" almost as effective as the tricks pulled off in the Variety by Woland, Fagotto the valet and Behemoth the cat. Georg Lukacs's remarks on naturalism and modernism in the references given below are relevant to this novel, too - focus on either the close-up surface texture of society, or the distant mystery of the stars at night. Treating the doings of a narrow circle as affairs of universal significance, and so on. The portrayal of women shares this "cosmic" contrast in perspectives, too (exploited to great dramatic effect). Natasha seeks her freedom in witchdom, and Margarita flees respectability (submission to authority) to devote herself to the service of her lover (authenticity). She saves him, as Gretchen saves Faust in Goethe's plays, but likewise only because of the heroic challenge he has mounted to the "peace of the graveyard". "Das ewig Weibliche zieht uns hinan", Goethe wrote at the end of Faust - "the eternal feminine draws us onward" - and the feeling is the same in The Master and Margarita. Most of the other female characters in the book are wives or mistresses of males in positions with some social clout. Or unattractive biddies. A courtly idealism with regard to women and relationships (and the ethos of the Middle Ages forms a clear motif in the book, especially in the internal relations of Satan's team as revealed in the final chapters) is nothing new in Russian or European literature. It is perhaps surprising that such a traditional portrayal of a woman's role is so skilfully presented that the novel achieved cult status among women. what's a great book according to you? $ that's my Russian friend's fav. i haven't read it.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti the joke Hypnerotomachia and Dreams of the Red Chamber conveys the lightness of being... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti narrow circles? will you care to elaborate that circle for me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti 'Take my eyes' I saw the movie 'Take my eyes' last night and it made me kinda depressed.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti 'the bridge' is in my queue now..thanx $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti 'Love is Just a Dream' don't you love Claude Choe's 'Love is Just a Dream'?

Isn't such invention as real to us as reality? But then how much reality can we bear? Roth knows that this kind of inquiry, far from robbing his fiction of reality, provokes an intense desire in his readers to invest his invented characters with solid reality." A lot of Atonement is about the question of what is real in fiction, and I was curious for your thoughts about literary realism these days. The kind of fiction I like and the kind of fiction I most often want to write does have its feet on the ground of realism, certainly psychological realism. I have no interest in magical realism and the supernatural--that is really an extension, I guess, of my atheism. I think that the world, as it is, is so difficult to capture that some kind of enactment of the plausibly shared reality that we inhabit is a very difficult task. But it is one that fascinates me. I have just re-read a couple of Saul Bellow novels, Mr. Sammler's Planet and The Dean's December. I really get a thrill from his engagement with the momentous task of what it is like to be in the 20th century in Chicago or even Bucharest, what the condition is, what it's like, how it is now. This is something that modernism shied away from--the pace of things, the solid achievement of weight in your hand. So I remain rather committed to that. But also to what is psychologically real--the small print of consciousness, the corners and vagaries of thinking that when you read them in another writer, and they are done well, you just know they are right. Not only because you had this thought to yourself, but because that way of thinking seems so ineradicably human. .... Do you see religion as ineradicable, or do you think there is a chance to change people's minds on religion? I think it is ineradicable, and I think it is a terrible idea to suppress it, too. We have tried that and it joins the list of political oppression. It seems to be fairly deeply stitched into human nature. It seems to be part of all cultures, so I don't expect it to vanish. And yet at the same time, if it is built into human nature, why are there so many people who don't believe in it? I think it is important that people with no religious beliefs speak up and speak for what they value. It is a bit of a problem, the title "Atheist"--no one really wants to be defined by what they do not believe in. We haven't yet settled on a name, but you wouldn't expect a Baptist minister to go around calling himself a Darwinist. But it is crucial that people who do not have a sky god and don't have a set of supernatural beliefs assert their belief in moral values and in love and in the transcendence that they might experience in landscape or art or music or sculpture or whatever. Since they do not believe in an afterlife, it makes them give more valence to life itself. The little spark that we do have becomes all the more valuable when you can't be trading off any moments for eternity. Philip Roth Are you familiar with his infamous 'Portnoy's complaint'?

NOT EXACTLY according to this wiki source: The lyrics for "Puff, the Magic Dragon" were based on a 1959 poem by Leonard Lipton, a nineteen-year-old Cornell student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon," about a "Really-O, Truly-O, little pet dragon." Lipton passed his poem on to friend and fellow Cornell student Peter Yarrow, who created music and more lyrics to make the poem into the song. In 1961, Yarrow joined Paul Stookey and Mary Travers to form Peter, Paul and Mary. The group incorporated the song into their live performances before recording it in 1962. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti but here it is still winter :) $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti too sad... mindpixel died in an untimely fasion or he would have Jackie answer your question... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Chaucer's Parlement of Foules as a Valentine Fable The Subversive Poetics of Feminine Desire 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy.

'Have you ever listened to the shofar in the final hours of Yom Kippur?" asks the Ukrainian giant.

And a second one, stifled, halting, tragic, which says, "This is a world where the father kills his own child, and all is mere chaos and madness!" That second sound is Sarah's cry. When she understands taht Abraham nearly sacrificed their son upon God's command, without saying a word to her, she let out a terrible cry and fell down dead. So the sacrifice of Isaac really was a sacrifice, but it was Sarah who was the victim. That happened in Hebron, a few miles from here."

LM: Of course, even "The Broom of the System" can be seen as a metafiction, as a book about language and about the relationship between words and reality. DFW: Think of "The Broom of the System" as the sensitive tale of a sensitive young WASP who's just had this mid-life crisis that's moved him from coldly cerebral analytic math to a coldly cerebral take on fiction and Austin-Wittgenstein-Derridean literary theory, which also shifted his existential dread from a fear that he was just a 98.6 calculating machine to a fear that he was nothing but a linguistic construct. This WASP's written a lot of straight humor, and loves gags, so he decides to write a coded autobio that's also a funny little post-structural gag: so you get Lenore, a character in a story who's terribly afraid that she's really nothing more than a character in a story. And, sufficiently hidden under the sex-change and the gags and theoretical allusions, I got to write my sensitive little self-obsessed bildungsroman. The biggest cackle I got when the book came out was the way all the reviews, whether they stomped up and down on the overall book or not, all praised the fact that at least here was a first novel that wasn't yet another sensitive little bildungsroman. LM: Wittgenstein's work, especially the "Tractatus," permeates "The Broom of the System" in all sorts of ways, both as content and in terms of the metaphors you employ. But in later stages of his career, Wittgenstein concluded that language was unable to refer in the direct, referential way he'd argued it could in the "Tractatus." Doesn't that mean language is a closed loop--there's no permeable membrane to allow the inside from getting through to the outside? And if that's the case, then isn't a book "only" a game? Or does the fact that it's a language game make it somehow different? DFW: There's a kind of tragic fall Wittgenstein's obsessed with all the way from the "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" in 1922 to the "Philosophical Investigations" in his last years. I mean a real Book-of-Genesis type tragic fall. The loss of the whole external world. The "Tractatus" 's picture theory of meaning presumes that the only possible relation between language and the world is denotative, referential. In order for language both to be meaningful and to have some connection to reality, words like "tree" and "house" have to be like little pictures, representations of little trees and houses. Mimesis. But nothing more. Which means we can know and speak of nothing more than little mimetic pictures. Which divides us, metaphysically and forever, from the external world. If you buy such a metaphysical schism, you're left with only two options. One is that the individual person with her language is trapped in here, with the world out there, and never the twain shall meet. Which, even if you think language's pictures really are mimetic, is an awful lonely proposition. And there's no iron guarantee the pictures truly "are" mimetic, which means you're looking at solipsism. One of the things that makes Wittgenstein a real artist to me is that he realized that no conclusion could be more horrible than solipsism. And so he trashed everything he'd been lauded for in the "Tractatus" and wrote the" Investigations," which is the single most comprehensive and beautiful argument against solipsism that's ever been made. Wittgenstein argues that for language even to be possible, it must always be a function of relationships between persons (that's why he spends so much time arguing against the possibility of a "private language"). So he makes language dependent on human community, but unfortunately we're still stuck with the idea that there is this world of referents out there that we can never really join or know because we're stuck in here, in language, even if we're at least all in here together. Oh yeah, the other original option. The other option is to expand the linguistic subject. Expand the self. LM: Like Norman Bombardini in "Broom of the System." DFW: Yeah, Norman's gag is that he literalizes the option. He's going to forget the diet and keep eating until he grows to "infinite size" and eliminates loneliness that way. This was Wittgenstein's double bind: you can either treat language as an infinitely small dense dot, or you let it become the world--the exterior and everything in it. The former banishes you from the Garden. The latter seems more promising. If the world is itself a linguistic construct, there's nothing "outside" language for language to have to picture or refer to. This lets you avoid solipsism, but it leads right to the postmodern, post-structural dilemma of having to deny yourself an existence independent of language. Heidegger's the guy most people think got us into this bind, but when I was working on "Broom of the System" I saw Wittgenstein as the real architect of the postmodern trap. He died right on the edge of explicitly treating reality as linguistic instead of ontological. This eliminated solipsism, but not the horror. Because we're still stuck. The "Investigation" 's line is that the fundamental problem of language is, quote, "I don't know my way about." If I were separate from language, if I could somehow detach from it and climb up and look down on it, get the lay of the land so to speak, I could study it "objectively," take it apart, deconstruct it, know its operations and boundaries and deficiencies. But that's not how things are. I'm "in" it. We're "in" language. Wittgenstein's not Heidegger, it's not that language "is" us, but we're still "in" it, inescapably, the same way we're in like Kant's space-time. Wittgenstein's conclusions seem completely sound to me, always have. And if there's one thing that consistently bugs me writing-wise, it's that I don't feel I really "do" know my way around inside language--I never seem to get the kind of clarity and concision I want. LM: Ray Carver comes immediately to mind in terms of compression and clarity, and he's obviously someone who wound up having a huge influence on your generation. DFW: Minimalism's just the other side of metafictional recursion. The basic problem's still the one of the mediating narrative consciousness. Both minimalism and metafiction try to resolve the problem in radical ways. Opposed, but both so extreme they end up empty. Recursive metafiction worships the narrative consciousness, makes "it" the subject of the text. Minimalism's even worse, emptier, because it's a fraud: it eschews not only self-reference but any narrative personality at all, tries to pretend there "is" no narrative consciousness in its text. This is so fucking American, man: either make something your God and cosmos and then worship it, or else kill it. LM: But did Carver really do that? I'd say his narrative voice is nearly always insistently "there," like Hemingway's was. You're never allowed to forget. DFW: I was talking about minimalists, not Carver. Carver was an artist, not a minimalist. Even though he's supposedly the inventor of modern U.S. minimalism. "Schools" of fiction are for crank-turners. The founder of a movement is never part of the movement. Carver uses all the techniques and anti-styles that critics call "minimalist," but his case is like Joyce, or Nabokov, or early Barth and Coover--he's using formal innovation in the service of an original vision. Carver invented--or resurrected, if you want to cite Hemingway--the techniques of minimalism in the service of rendering a world he saw that nobody'd seen before. It's a grim world, exhausted and empty and full of mute, beaten people, but the minimalist techniques Carver employed were perfect for it; they created it. And minimalism for Carver wasn't some rigid aesthetic program he adhered to for its own sake. Carver's commitment was to his stories, each of them. And when minimalism didn't serve them, he blew it off. If he realized a story would be best served by expansion, not ablation, he'd expand, like he did to "The Bath," which he later turned into a vastly superior story. He just chased the click. But at some point "minimalist" style caught on. A movement was born, proclaimed, promulgated by the critics. Now here come the crank-turners. What's especially dangerous about Carver's techniques is that they seem so easy to imitate. It doesn't seem like each word and line and draft has been bled over. That's a part of his genius. It looks like you can write a minimalist piece without much bleeding. And you can. But not a good one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti inside the brownie-bag... isn't all things look like Chinese !? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Are Simpsons smart-up or whut? seriously, my 5 yr old loves the show more than myself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti man, you crawl like a snail when the hare has already located new tunes that resembled our beloved MC's tender voices.

It sputtered. And some of the time you were seen asleep. So trying to appear whole you asked of the morning: Is he free who is not free from pain? It started to rain a particulate alloy of flecked grey: the dogs wanted out into their atlas of smells; to pee where before they had peed, and might well pee again - thought it isn't a certainty. What is? In the set, called Phi, of all possible physical worlds resembling this one, in which, at time t, was written `Is he free who is not free - ' and comes the cramp. Do you want to be singular, onstage, praised, or blamed? I watched a field of sun- flowers dial their ruddy faces toward what they needed and was good. At noon they were chalices upturned, gilt-edged, and I lived in that same light but felt alone. I chose to phone my brother, over whom I worried, and say so. He whispered, lacked affect. He'd lost my record collection to looming debt. I forgave him - through weak connections, through buzz and oceanic crackle - immediately, without choosing to, because it was him I hadn't lost; and later cried myself to sleep. In that village near Dijon, called Valley of Peace, a pond reflected its dragonflies over a black surface at night, and the nuclear reactor's far-off halo of green light changed the night sky to the west. A pony brayed, stamping a hoof on inlaid stone. The river's reeds lovely, but unswimmable. World death on the event horizon; vigils with candles in cups.

Passion has ruled their 21-year relationship, as well as the tetchy perfectionism with which they ran Dr. Hauschka Skin Care, the exclusive distributor of German-made holilstic skin-care remedies, from a converted barn in Hatfield, Massachusetts. Then, as the Kurzes prepared to retire last year, they did something even weirder. "We neutralized our equity in the company," Susan Kurz gushes, sounding as if she's just revealed a secret out of Gordon Gekko's playbook. In a transaction believed to be unprecedented among U.S. companies, Kurz and her husband legally eliminated their ownership in Hauschka, and then placed the operating company, which is profitable, inside a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation. The result is a novel corporate structure that acts a lot like an irrevocable trust, with one significant exception: it has no trustees or beneficiaries, which means that the Estee Lauders and L'Oreals of the world will find it very difficult to buy Hauschka, ever. ... In the end, the Kurzes took a buyout from WALA Heilmittel, the German manufacturer of Hauschka products. The articles of incorporation prohibit board members from receiving any financial gain for their role, in salary or dividends. They also prohibit the sale of Hauschka's distribution rights. Theoretically, someone could come along and unravel this protective web. But Susan points out the difficulty in such a deal: "Who would get the money?"

Both of his novel 'Shibumi' & ' The Eiger Sanction' have been made into film. "Shibumi, sir?" Nicholai knew the word, but only as it applied to gardens or architecture, where it connoted an understated beauty. "How are you using the term, sir?" "Oh, vaguely. And incorrectly, I suspect. A blundering attempt to describe an ineffable quality. As you know, shibumi has to do with great refinement underlying commonplace appearances. It is a statement so correct that it does not have to be bold, so poignant it does not have to be pretty, so true it does not have to be real. Shibumi is understanding, rather than knowledge. Eloquent silence. In demeanor, it is modesty without pudency. In art, where the spirit of shibumi takes the form of sabi, it is elegant simplicity, articulate brevity. In philosophy, where shibumi emerges as wabi, it is spiritual tranquility that is not passive; it is being without the angst of becoming. And in the personality of a man, it is . . . how does one say it? Authority without domination? Something like that." Nicholai's imagination was galvanized by the concept of shibumi. No other ideal had ever touched him so. "How does one achieve this shibumi, sir?" "One does not achieve it, one . . . discovers it. And only a few men of infinite refinement ever do that. Men like my friend Otake-san." "Meaning that one must learn a great deal to arrive at shibumi?" "Meaning, rather, that one must pass through knowledge and arrive at simplicity."

THE DEATH OF ADAM: ESSAYS ON MODERN THOUGHT By Marilynne Robinson. Houghton Mifflin. $23 by TESS LEWIS Tess Lewis's translation of Peter Handke's Once Again for Thusydides was recently published by New Directions Press. 2. Gilead: A Novel by Marilynne Robinson The Minister's Tale A Review by Mona Simpson THE DEATH OF ADAM: ESSAYS ON MODERN THOUGHT By Marilynne Robinson. Houghton Mifflin. $23. The beauty of Marilynne Robinson's enchanting novel Housekeeping lies precisely in the explanations that surround and often overshadow its slender collection of facts. The narrator, Ruthie, recounts her childhood in the small Montana town of Fingerbone on the shore of a glacial lake. Yet it is not the particulars of her upbringing under the dubious care of her grandmother, then two maiden great-aunts, and finally her mother's eccentric younger sister, that haunt the reader, but the numinous mysteries of a child's world and the competing claims of family loyalty and the drive to better oneself. In the eighteen years that lie between that novel and this new collection of her somber, often angry essays, Robinson seems to have pursued facts with a vengeance. In 1989 she published Mother Country: Britain, the Welfare State, and Nuclear Pollution, a book-length essay in which she exposed the extent to which the Sellafield nuclear waste processing plant in Britain's Lake District had contaminated the environment. In Britain, the Official Secrets Act makes it a crime for anyone to reveal information gathered in the course of work as a public employee without proper authorization. Even so, Robinson marshaled considerable evidence from newspaper accounts and scientific studies to support her charges and fuel her indignation. How, she asked, can a country so committed to social welfare behave so self-destructively? She went on to search the literature of reform, from Daniel Defoe to Karl Marx, Jeremy Bentham, and Beatrice Webb, for some explanation of this egregious case of cultural cognitive dissonance. The appalling discoveries she made while researching Mother Country permanently altered Robinson's views. That book, as she has acknowledged, was "written in a state of mind and spirit I could not have imagined before Sellafield presented itself to me, so grossly anomalous that I had to jettison almost every assumption I had before I could begin to make sense of it. My writing has perhaps taken too much of the stain of my anger and disappointment." This tone of anger and disappointment pervades her subsequent essays as well, many of them collected in The Death of Adam. In these essays, whose subjects include John Calvin, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Charles Darwin, the Eighth Psalm, and American abolitionists, Robinson deems modern thought a failure. The real trouble, she suggests, began as cultural-religious beliefs were supplanted by scientific myths, especially those of "Malthus/Darwin/ Nietzsche/Freud." Neither the original nor the contemporary advocates of this strain of thought leave room for the soul, preferring to replace the "old Adam, that near angel whose name means Earth" with "a creature who shares essential attributes with whatever beast has been recently observed behaving shabbily in the state of nature." Robinson is eager to rehabilitate the "old lost myth" of civilization as a source of enrichment and enlightenment and humanism, "that old romance of the self" espousing the idea that the self is capable of improvement through complexity, beauty, and difficulty. The kind of complexity, beauty, and difficulty she has in mind is well represented by John Calvin's writing. According to Robinson, careful study of his erudition, discernment, and intelligence could go a long way toward improving--if not rescuing--contemporary souls. But of course he must be read properly. Robinson finds that few scholars in theology or in intellectual or religious history actually bother to read him, relying instead on the willful misinterpretations of influential but deeply partisan scholars such as Lord Acton. Many fail to consider Calvin at all. In the lengthy introduction and the two essays that form the core of the book, Robinson meticulously deconstructs the stereotypical negative image of Calvin as an illiberal thinker who actively condoned the repression and persecution of heretics. She is careful to acknowledge his flaws and weaknesses, yet convincingly demonstrates that Calvin is regarded by many scholars and intellectuals with "ill-informed condescension." Were these writers to set aside their biases and read Calvin's work, they might be forced to come to terms with his considerable accomplishments. In counterpoint to Calvin, Robinson presents Charles Darwin. Although she finds, again, that scholars in all fields prefer predigested versions of Darwin's theories of evolution and natural selection to careful study of his primary texts, Darwinism is not rejected out of hand, like Calvinism, but rather has been raised to the level of an almost unassailable truth. Robinson finds it used as justification and rationalization for selfishness and greed in economics as well as in sociology. The constraints of conscience, charity, and religion have been replaced by self-interest and the survival of the fittest. Robinson is certainly compelling, and her diagnosis of society's ills is convincing. Yet her arguments are marred by a tone of rhetorical coyness and some unnecessary tub thumping. An example of the latter occurs when she offers Thomas Jefferson as a corollary to Calvin. She restates the canard that many Americans believe Jefferson "wrote the Declaration of Independence unconscious of the irony of the existence of slavery in his land of equality." The fact that Jefferson was not only fully aware of the irony, but also agonized over it, surely has common currency as well. Robinson's coyness is even more irritating than such overstatements. Amidst pages of forceful argument and even tiresome repetition, she suddenly seems concerned with social niceties. "I would never suggest so rude an experiment as calculating the percentage of one's relatives one would actually choose as friends, the percentage of one's relatives who would choose one as their friend," she demurs in an otherwise straightforward discussion of kinship. (A realistic experiment, perhaps, but hardly rude--unless one were to inform those relatives who failed the friendship test.) In another essay, she notes that "I am speaking, as I know it is rude to do, of the Social Darwinists, the eugenicists, the Imperialists, the Scientific Socialists who showed such firmness in reshaping civilization in Eastern Europe, China, Cambodia and elsewhere, and, yes, of the Nazis." Again, her readers will certainly be able to differentiate between serious subjects and lapses in bon ton. Unfortunately she fails to recognize a real lapse. In "Marguerite de Navarre," her first long essay on John Calvin, Robinson admits that the title she has given the essay is "somewhat misleading," observing, "If I had been forthright about my subject, I doubt that the average reader would have read this far." The average (or above-average) reader would certainly be justified in putting the book down right there. It's a pity that, as with relatives, one can't choose one's readers. There are essays in The Death of Adam that work effectively, such as "Psalm Eight," in which Robinson discusses her experience of growing up Presbyterian through her encounter with the Eighth Psalm. And she offers a number of interesting insights throughout the book. In "Family," for instance, Robinson observes that the unquestioned loyalty that once kept families together under almost any circumstances has been eroded. Not only have we "reasoned our way to uniformly conditional relationships," she explains, but we have further doomed the family by developing "a historical version of the victim defense, visiting our sins upon our fathers." For all her careful research, earnestness, and well-founded indignation, Robinson's anger and disappointment pervade this book as well. Readers drawn to The Death of Adam by the lightness of touch and wry humor of Housekeeping are also in for disappointment. The issues Robinson discusses are indeed vital to the commonwealth. Yet these essays suffer from her inability to maintain a critical distance from her subjects. There is more than a touch of the Ancient Mariner here. no comment until i read her novel "Gilead" - a minister's tale... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i wish it was stolen by trane2 only 20 years younger... strange thought. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Mr. Harry V. Jaffa Mr. Harry V. Jaffa posted by meno@haichuan nothing more to read note to self The Arguments For and Against the Notwithstanding Clause Thomas (Guoting)Guo The notwithstanding clause is a unique and famous clause of the Canadian Constitution. Since 1982, when it was adopted, arguments about it have never stopped(CTV.ca newsstaff. 2006).[1]Recently, the same sex marriage issue ignited arguments again(Charlie 2006)[2]. This essay reviews and comments on arguments for and against the clause. I. What is the Notwithstanding clause? Section 33(1) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms allows both federal and provincial legislatures to adopt legislation to override Section 2 (involving freedom of expression, conscience, association and assembly); plus sections 7-15 [(a.) the right to life, liberty and security, (b.) freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, (c.) freedom from arbitrary arrest or detention, (d.) a number of other legal rights, and (e.) the right to equality]. All rights and freedoms stipulated in the Charter are guaranteed and subject to the above limitations. Consequently, the Charter is a unique combination of rights and freedoms; some are fully protected and others are entrenched unless overridden by legislatures. Until now, the notwithstanding clause has been used approximately 18 times, mainly in Quebec. Recently, research showed 68% of people strongly or somewhat support the notwithstanding clause(author unknown.2006.)[3] . After the Supreme Court of Canada ordered Alberta to write protection for homosexuals into its human rights legislation, thousands of citizens clamoured for the government to use the notwithstanding clause to override the court(Steel 11)[4] Thus, the majority supported the clause; however, a lot of people also demanded it be repealed. II . Argument For and Against the Notwithstanding Clause Since the notwithstanding clause was written into the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, the legislative override clause of Section 33 has been a highly contested provision. Most of the controversy focuses on issues concerning the scope of power and core democratic concepts such as democracy, majority tyranny, legislative supremacy, judicial review, and judicial activism. The following are the main arguments for and against the notwithstanding clause. A. Arguments For Section 33 1. To ensure the democratic ideal of government the notwithstanding clause mentions the fundamental purpose of parliamentary bodies is to facilitate the democratic ideal of government by discussion. Parliamentary bodies are important means of bringing democratic discussion of important public policy. If judges are given the last word on Charter questions, then Parliament can do nothing, and the process of democratic discussion becomes impossible. Courts and parliament have a role to play in deciding Charter issues. Further, the notwithstanding clause is crucial to this participation of parliament and processes of public discussions that democratic institutions bring with them(Jay 2007)[5]. 2. Elected legislatives, rather than un-elected judges, are best to make important policy decisions. Claims the notwithstanding clause threat individual rights are not substantial because there is a five-year limit on any use of the notwithstanding power. Any such legislative override will be subject to public debate at the time of its first enactment and at the moment of any subsequent re-enactment(David 2005)[6]. 3. Judges should not act as legislators. Judges may remain in office for many years after their appointment. If they had a greater "political" role, their non-responsibility to the electorate might well be a source of controversy because a policy-making role would compromise the independence and impartiality of the courts, and would hasten their politicization(David 2005)[7]. 4. Elected legislatives make the final political decisions and can mitigate politicization of courts. Accordingly, there is little evidence to prove Canadian Supreme Court Judges are selected according to how they would rule in various cases. Without the notwithstanding clause and courts as final arbiters of social values, society would be vulnerable to change(David 2005)[8]. 5. Legislators should have the final word on public policy matters as the "safety valve" or "unintended consequences" arguments. This suggests the notwithstanding clause is needed where a judicial decision based on Charter guarantees might result in a threat to important social values or goals. Because such rights and freedoms are generally stated, and are susceptible to varying constructions and interpretations, courts may render judgments that drafters did not anticipate(David 2005)[9]. 6. There is parliamentary sovereignty. The notwithstanding clause says legislators, unlike judges, are electorally responsible. The clause makes it possible for legislatures to correct any unfortunate judicial interpretation of the Charter. 7. There is constitutional authority support: i. Professor Wayne MacKay of Dalhousie University spoke in favour of retaining the section by stating "The notwithstanding clause permits debate about which rights are fundamental in Canadian society and which should prevail when rights are in conflict. In a democratic society steeped in the tradition of parliamentary supremacy, it is proper to give our elected legislators the final word" ( A Reader's Digest June 1989. 103)[10] ii. Professor Franois Chevrette of the Universit de Montral was also in favour of retaining the clause. He pointed out that political power can override a judicial decision on an important or sensitive issue, and then there is an opportunity for national debate (A Reader's Digest June 1989.104). [11] B. Arguments Against Section 33 1. Section 33 is inconsistent with entrenchment of human rights and freedoms. The notwithstanding clause says rights and freedoms are subject to judicial interpretation but must be protected against legislative transgression. When the majority of the public is in favour of limitation or elimination of rights of a minority constitutional restrictions are needed. Moreover, the Charter does not create absolute rights and freedoms, which are subject to reasonable limits prescribed by law, as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. This should permit the courts enough flexibility to adjust legislative goals that infringe a guaranteed right or freedom.(Philip 18)[12] 2. A hierarchy of rights is created. Legislative override is applicable to only fundamental freedoms, legal rights, and equality rights; therefore, other rights such as democratic, mobility, language, minority language education, and the guaranteed equality of gender are not subject to the override. (Philip 19)[13] 3. There is demeaning of the nature of freedoms and rights. Manning states " Rights and freedoms that can be overridden are so significant as to raise questions about the nature of the freedom that remains. If our freedom of conscience or religion can be taken away by a law, which operates notwithstanding the Charter; if our right to life or liberty can be taken not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice, what freedom do we have?" (Morris 55). [14] 4. There is majority tyranny. In a democracy, public policy is generally orientated towards opinions of the majority of citizens. As a result, democratic laws can often be unfair to minority groups (such as minority religious, ethnic, racial, or cultural groups) or other individuals outside the majority opinion. In extreme situations the majority may prosecute or force these minorities to conform to the majority view. The charter is used as a means of protecting minorities( Jay 2007)[15]. 5. Legislative supremacy broke the balance of three powers in a democratic government. Democratic governments include different branches - such as legislatures, executives, and judiciaries. Legislative supremacy in a democracy means destroying the balance, which is the core value of most democratic governments.(Jay 2007)[16] The mere existence of the override power can entice governments to use it. 6. Politicians and authority show their disagreement with section 33. The Canadian Bar Association, at its 1984 annual meeting, concluded section one of the Charter provides enough protection for legislative authority and recommended repealing section 33.(Canadian Bar Association 1984)[17] i. Many people are concerned the notwithstanding clause might be used in cases where rights and freedoms are most in need of protection. In 1985, Herbert Marx who was the Liberal Opposition Justice Critic in Quebec, stated "the danger of having a 'notwithstanding clause' will become evident when we need protection most - we will not have it" (Martin 1). [18]. ii. According to Reader's Digest (1989), senator and parliamentary expert Eugene Forsey also spoke out against section 33: The notwithstanding clause is a dagger pointed at the heart of our fundamental freedoms, and it should be abolished. ...it does apply to a very large number of the rights and freedoms otherwise guaranteed. ... Clearly, then, it gives federal and provincial legislators very wide powers to do as they see fit in limiting or denying those rights and freedoms. The Charter would not have protected the Japanese-Canadians who were forcibly interned during World War II. Nor will it protect anyone advocating an unpopular cause today. ... if this dagger is flung, the courts will be as powerless to protect our rights as they were before there was a Charter of Rights (Reader's Digest Forum 101.102).[19] iii. Liberal Leader Paul Martin said "In Canada today and Canada as it may evolve, I believe we're going to want minority rights to be protected in case in any circumstances a prime minister was going to decide what rights he would and wouldn't protect, and I think that's fundamentally wrong."( CTV.ca News Staff. 2006)[20] iv. In his 1993 book Memoirs, Ex-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau wrote, " I saw the Charter as an expression of my long-held view that the subject of law must be the individual human being; the law must permit the individual to fulfil himself of herself to the utmost. Therefore, the individual has certain basic rights that cannot be taken away by any government." (author unknown April 2007)[21] III. Comments If we review the topic, it seems both "for and against" opinions have some persuasive reasons to support their arguments. It is a really complicated question and depends on various considerations. Considering the minorities' position one would like to support abolishment of the notwithstanding clause. Since minorities can be persecuted easily, they would never feel completely secure unless fundamental rights and freedoms are carved into the granite of law. During the 1930s and 40s, Canada refused to allow Jews from Europe to enter Canada. In 1942, thousands of Canadians of Japanese ancestry were rounded up and put into internment camps. Their property was seized and they were stripped of the right to vote. The Jews and Japanese suffered because the majority of Canadians did not like them. The Chinese Head Tax, in the 1920's, is another example. Recently, the same sex marriage issue proves the fear of minorities is real. The clause shows Canada's attempt to reconcile two philosophies of government. The British system says parliament is the supreme expression of law, while the American system supports a written constitution. According to the Phantom Observer Blog, with regards to the notwithstanding clause, Canada is saying that a written Constitution is the top law, except . . . (author unknown. 2007)[22]. According to Thomas Axworthy , someone said it is a safety valve making neither the courts and legislatures a superpower in the system, thus it is the sword of democracy(Thomas 2007)[23]. However, Janet Hiebert described it as a "paper tiger" (Janet 27)[24] , and Potter simply called it " stupid and nonsense" because it operates in a realm wholly disconnected from reality.(Potter 2006) [25] I prefer to abolish the clause, as fundamental rights and freedoms entrenched in any government should not take Charter away. Since the constitutional law is the highest law, any law or regulation that is not complying with the constitution should be invalid. In a democratic society, law should protect the majority's interests while also protecting minorities. The notwithstanding clause really makes minorities feel they lack security as people's minds are changeable. Despite such a clause, in a democratic society with a good reputation, this situation may not be serious. Nobody can guarantee elected representatives are always right. Generally speaking, the Supreme Court Judges are experts and have good reputations. In the history of the court, there is little evidence to show judges forgot their duties to the values of law, justice, and fairness. Thus, there was fear judges were appointed by politicians instead of elected by people. This doesn't make sense. Judges might misuse their power just the same as politicians. Politicians might later prove to make mistakes more than judges. Moreover, through judicial reform, strict appointment of judges can control power. The courts are understood as institutions that protect and empower people - especially, the vulnerable and less powerful. The majority may be in favour of limiting a minority group's rights (such as same-sex couples or those with political or social views outside the norm). However, as the courts have the last say on Charter issues, they are able to stand against the majority and protect those who are vulnerable. Arguments against the notwithstanding clause do not reject democracy; they focus on the negative features in democratic systems, such as majority tyranny and legislative abuses of power over individuals and minority groups. The argument here is not that democracy and elected politicians are bad but that there needs to be checks against the opinions of the majority and abuses of power by politicians. Finally, I agree with Janet when she mentions section 33 appears to be a paper tiger. It may become the equivalent of the powers of reservation and disallowance, available in theory, but not used in practice. Courts have wandered deeply into social decisions they are ill-equipped to address. Section 33 is not the instrument to correct this problem in the long run. It is at best a temporary stopgap to enable more dialogue. Given the power of courts, we must think more about reform of the judiciary. Janet suggests this has to include appointment procedures, tenure, and the relationship between courts and legislatures (Janet 31).[26] Bibliography [1] CTV.ca News Staff.

Japanese Minister Admits Misconduct By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: September 1, 2007 Filed at 6:47 a.m. ET TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's agricultural minister acknowledged Saturday that a private farming group he leads exaggerated crop damage in order to receive government compensation, in the latest political scandal to embarrass Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration. The statement came just days after Abe reshuffled his Cabinet following a humiliating upper house electoral loss in July, blamed on a spate of scandals within his government. Two more political fund scandals involving Abe's ruling party lawmakers also emerged Saturday. Agriculture Minister Takehiko Endo acknowledged that the agriculture cooperative in his home state of Yamagata, which he has headed for 25 years, collected $9,930 in government payments by overstating weather damage done to the 1999 grape harvest. ''It was a serious misconduct,'' Endo told reporters after Japanese media reported the scandal earlier Saturday. Endo said he will resign as head of the local farming group, but refused to step down as the agriculture minister. He is the third agricultural minister to be embroiled in money scandals since May. Former Agriculture Minister Norihiko Akagi resigned last month to take responsibility for the election defeat following an accounting scandal in his office. His predecessor, Toshikatsu Matsuoka, killed himself in May amid allegations he misused public money. Two other money scandals emerged Saturday, both involving members of Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Vice Foreign Minister Yukiko Sakamoto, a political appointee, acknowledged her support group faked political funds report in 2004 and 2005 to enter fictitious lecture costs, and deputy-chief Cabinet Secretary Mitsuhide Iwaki said he mistakenly reported fundraising ticket sales as political donations. Abe has resisted calls to resign despite the election loss and overhauled the Cabinet on Monday, tapping a group of party heavyweights and political veterans who were believed to be scandal-free. ''If questions remain, they must be explained,'' Abe said, urging his agriculture minister to provide a fuller explanation. But opposition leaders renewed their attack on Abe's Cabinet. ''Several members of Abe's new Cabinet are already implicated in political funds scandals, and Prime Minister Abe should be held responsible for appointing them,'' Japanese Communist Party Secretary Tadayoshi Ichida said in a statement. Endo said he didn't tell Abe about the issue when he was offered the post Monday. ''I didn't think the case would cause trouble,'' he said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti crawford.kids beats crawford.xxx I'm reading Susan Crawford's article Why I voted for xxx.

Bear with us. Elizabeth Bernoskie's husband, a Rahway police officer, was slain on duty in 1958. Four decades later, someone was finally charged with his murder: Robert Zarinsky, in prison for the murder of a 17-year-old Atlantic Highlands girl in 1969. Zarinsky was linked to the Bernoskie murder by his sister, who said Zarinsky and a cousin said they killed a police officer. The cousin admitted his role and served three years in prison. But Zarinsky beat the rap in 2001. The jury foreman said the jurors believed Zarinsky did it, but that the prosecutor's case was too weak to convict him. End of story? Not at all. Elizabeth Bernoskie later filed a wrongful death suit against Zarinsky and was awarded $9.5 million in 2003. Zarinsky posted his $150,000 mutual fund as a down payment. But on appeal, the award was tossed out Tuesday. Since Zarinsky was cleared, he couldn't be sued in civil court in connection with the murder. As a result, the $150,000 has to be returned to Zarinsky. But Bernoskie doesn't have that money to give. She distributed it among her six children. So now Zarinsky can seize her assets, including the home where she lived with her husband so long ago. Nothing is just in this story. A widow didn't get the closure of seeing her husband's killer get what he deserved at long last. And now, thanks to judges strictly applying the law, that man can boot her out of her house. This may be how the wrongful death law works in this state. But in this case, the outcome was what was wrongful. The prisoner wins, the widow loses and justice isn't served. And it's perfectly legal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti McGreevy seeks rependent to become a priest?

Michel Foucault Instead of an ethic of reciprocity or brotherliness, Foucault opts for what we might call a dramaturgical model of conduct, in which action becomes meaningful solely qua performative gesture. But this theory risks sanctioning an approach to ethics that is brazenly particularistic and elitist. Formally, it remains only a hair's breadth removed from Nietzsche's rehabilitation of the right of the stronger. Richard Wolin One should see the intellectual qua intellectual as having a special, idiosyncratic need--a need for the ineffable, the sublime, a need to go beyond limits [...] But one should not see the intellectual as serving any social purpose when he fulfills this need. Richard Rorty Suspicion that the work of Michel Foucault harbors ethical and political ambiguities and outright dangers pervades critical commentaries upon it. In particular, his embryonic notion of the "aesthetics of existence," inspired by the Greco-Roman ethics of self-fashioning, or "the care of the self," has been seized upon in this regard. (1) This suspicion dovetails with the chorus of criticism heard over the last decade in which post-structuralist thought in general has been denounced as ethically and politically dangerous. (2) Richard Wolin, for example, rattles the chains of "Thrasymachus' ghost" and conjures the specter of the predatory Nietzschean immoralist in a bid to discredit Foucault. (3) Along with Wolin, critics such as Jurgen Habermas, Charles Taylor, Nancy Fraser, and Thomas McCarthy argue that an interest in self-fashioning and the aestheticization of ethics more often than not belies an underlying elitist preoccupation with the self which pays inadequate attention to our obligations to others. (4) An aestheticist approach to ethics and the self, so the argument goes, encourages a deficit of care for others and threatens, by privileging the criterion of beauty above all other considerations, to underwrite violence and cruelty in the name of aesthetic self-perfection. Accordingly, such an approach to ethics signals not a new form of ethical practice but the demise of ethics altogether. Putting the matter in traditional terms, critics of Foucault would argue that pursuit of the aestheticized, poststructuralist good life of self-creation will inevitably conflict with the dictates of justice, that is, with our obligations to others. The prototypical Foucauldian individual, these critics might say, would make a very poor neighbor and fellow citizen. In the following essay I respond to some of the concerns of Foucault's critics by examining the ethical and political implications of his endorsement of an ethics of self-fashioning. In particular, the essay responds to criticisms that Foucault's writings on self-creation belie the anti-social and elitist tendencies of an "aesthetic modernist" by arguing that, as a mode of self-relation best suited to the radical contingency of existence, the aesthetics of existence is not only not an invitation to ignore or abandon our obligations to others but that a certain Foucauldian art of the self may well serve to cultivate relations of care and concern for others. In the course of defending Foucault's aesthetics of existence the essay also refers to the work of the liberal anti-essentialist thinker Richard Rorty, who, like Foucault, endorses a certain ethic of self-creation--"strong poetry"--in response to the contingency at the root of our inherited vocabularies, identities, and practices. (5) Rorty's work on self-creation is noteworthy and useful on a number of counts. Firstly, despite the anti-essentialist views they share, Foucault and Rorty offer quite distinct models of ethical self-fashioning with divergent implications for relations of care and concern for others. A heuristic contrast of Foucault's aesthetics of existence with Rorty's strong poetry reveals that there is more than one model of self-creation available to would-be self-fashioners, and that, on closer examination, the kind of narcissistic and callous aestheticism about which Foucault's critics rightly worry has much more in common with the model of self-creation embodied in Rorty's strong poet. As a result, in my view much of the criticism of Foucault's aesthetics of existence has been misdirected. Furthermore, despite their agreement on the importance of self-creation, Foucault and Rorty hold conflicting views on the scope and relevance of its practice in relation to questions of justice, politics, and social solidarity. While Foucault endorsed the aesthetics of existence as having the potential to infuse our relations with others with greater care and concern, Rorty sides with Foucault's critics in finding that the ethic of self-fashioning is, at best, irrelevant to our relations with one another and, at worst, downright dangerous, which leads him to recommend that its practice be confined to solitary activities in private life. Therefore, I treat Rorty as an implicit interlocutor of Foucault's on the question of the social and political implications of the ethics of self-fashioning. Like Foucault's non-liberal critics, Rorty limits the form that the ethics of self-fashioning can take to one obviously anti-social one. One can, however, as the present essay tries to show, take care of oneself in the Foucauldian sense without disregarding others. Indeed, under certain circumstances, one cannot properly and humanely attend to others without having attended to oneself in this way first. I. Foucault on the Aesthetics of Existence Contrary to the prevailing view that Foucault's later work on ethics constitutes a break from his genealogical and archaeological past, I would argue that one cannot account for the former without first returning to the latter. Inspired by Nietzsche, his various archaeological and genealogical studies attempt to show that "there is `something altogether different' behind things: not a timeless and essential secret, but the secret that they have no essence or that their essence has been fabricated in a piecemeal fashion from alien forms." (6) "The world we know," he continues, "is not this ultimately simple configuration where events are reduced to accentuate their essential traits, [...] On the contrary, it is a profusion of entangled events." (7) So it goes for the concept of human nature: "nothing in man--not even his body--is sufficiently stable to serve as the basis for self-recognition." (8) In the wake of this "death of Man," we are faced with the challenge of exercising our freedom and fashioning our shared forms of life in the absence of the touchstones previously supplied by humanism and other faiths. Without overlooking the risks of such a predicament, Foucault tended to stress the opportunities for new forms of freedom and creativity afforded by it. Indeed, in spite of his own archaeological and genealogical writings documenting the degree to which what we have become--the things that we think, say, and do in the present--is contingent upon a host of underlying epistemic and strategic conditions of possibility, Foucault argued that people are nonetheless "much freer than they feel." (9) While there is little doubting that our contemporary forms of thought and practice have been made, produced that is on the basis of a web of contingent relations and events of which we are often only dimly aware, nevertheless "they can be unmade, as long as we know how it was they were made." (10) As the successor to philosophy, genealogical inquiry will seek to "break down, to disassemble, the unity of the apparently self-evident concepts from which philosophers and social scientists generally begin" in order to reveal that they are "products that have within themselves a certain heterogeneity." (11) As individuals, meanwhile, we must face up to the task of producing ourselves. "From the idea that the self is not given to us," Foucault argued, "I think that there is only one practical consequence: we have to create ourselves as a work of art." (12) To this slackening in the order of the necessities once imposed on us by concepts like human nature and universal morality, "one responds, or must respond, with research which is that of an aesthetics of existence." (13) Under the circumstances, for Foucault, the paradigmatic individual takes the shape of a figure like Baudelaire, for whom "modern man [...] is not the man who goes off to discover himself, his secrets, his hidden truth; he is the man who tries to invent himself." (14) Foucault saw this creative work done on the self by the self as a kind of ethical practice, one which he explored in the final two published volumes of his history of sexuality, The Use of Pleasure and The Care of the Self, as well as other late writings and interviews. Together, then, the pursuit of genealogical criticism and the art of the self form the complementary philosophical and ethical elements of Foucault's posthumanist "critical ontology of ourselves," which he equated with the kind of ethos most appropriate to our times, one in which "the critique of what we are is at one and the same time the historical analysis of the limits imposed on us and an experiment with the possibility of going beyond them." (15) Reaction to Foucault's late ethical writings from critics and commentators was swift and largely negative. Jurgen Habermas registered ethical concerns about Foucault's putative affinities with the "aesthetic modernism" of "nihilistic dark writers of the bourgeoisie" like Nietzsche, which he equates with irrationalism, nihilism, and amoralism. (16) Richard Wolin and Allan Megill assimilated Foucault's work to Nietzsche's "pan-aestheticism," in which the notion of the aesthetic as a separate and autonomous sphere of activity is rejected in favor of aestheticizing the whole of existence. (17) According to Wolin, dedifferentiating aesthetic and ethical experience leads necessarily to "aesthetic decisionism," the tendency to aestheticize and instrumentalize others as mere material for one's own self-fashioning, with disturbing implications for human empathy, mutuality, and solidarity. (18) The pan-aestheticist position, he claims, gives carte blanche to "forms of life that are manipulative and predatory." (19) Thus, Foucault's ethics of self-fashioning "favors either an attitude of narcissistic self-absorption or one of outwardly directed, aggressive self-aggrandizement." (20) Similarly, Martin Jay has warned that Nietzschean preoccupations with self-fashioning recall "the elite and narcissistic world of the nineteenth-century dandy, who deliberately rejected the telos of a natural self in favor of a life of contrived artifice, and did so with minimal regard for its impact on others." (21) Many feminist commentators worried about the implicit androcentrism of Foucault's emphasis on the dangers of identity formation and subsequent interest in practices of the self oriented toward self-erasure. Jana Sawicki has argued, for example, that such interest "can all too easily become the basis for repudiating women's struggles to attain a sense of identity not defined by patriarchal interests." (22) Finally, Charles Taylor saw in Foucault's late interest in self-fashioning a disturbing celebration of an "unrestrained, utterly self-related freedom." (23) Ultimately, his critics warn, by aestheticizing ethics and turning inward to the care of the self, Foucault risked endorsing the callous, self-absorbed and potentially violent stance of the "aesthetic modernist," thereby undermining claims for human mutuality, respect, or concern for others. As compelling as some concerns regarding the normative implications of Foucault's work appear, however, much of the critical discussion of his ethics of self-fashioning seems to me quite wide of the mark. While each of these critics rightly warns of the dangers of a certain highly imperious and narcissistic mode of self-fashioning, a comparison of such a mode with Foucault's aesthetics of existence reveals little resemblance between them. Rather than endorsing the kind of callous, self-absorbed, and self-aggrandizing mode of self-fashioning about which his critics worry, a careful reading of Foucault's writings and comments on the art of the self shows that they call for practices which reveal the contingency and fragility of the self as a product of a web of contingent events and relationships, and promote cautious, piecemeal experimentation with transforming inherited identities, vocabularies, and forms of life whose maintenance and defense inflict gratuitous suffering and cruelty. Rather than promoting callous aestheticism and indifference to others, I suggest, such an art of the contingent self heightens our awareness of the contingencies and differences cross-cutting all identities, thereby helping militate against the indifference, resentment, and cruelty toward others which sometimes flow from aggressive attempts to universalize, glorify, and defend them? In order to see this, however, we need to take a closer look at the model of self-fashioning Foucault proposed. Foucault's late interest in models of ethical self-fashioning was sparked by, inter alia, his encounter with the care of the self practiced by the ancient Greeks. By the early 1980s, Foucault turned to questions of a personal ethics of existence in response, he said, to the waning of "the idea of a morality as obedience to a code of rules." (25) The Greco-Roman ethics of the care of the self entailed a relation to the self as an object of one's own ethical self-fashioning, and a set of quasi-spiritual exercises through which one worked on oneself in order to fashion or transform oneself into an ethical subject, a work of art or object of beauty, to be admired by others, oneself, or posterity. (26) According to Foucault, it was this ethic of the care of the self which Christianity eventually displaced with the concept of moral behavior as adherence to a universal code of conduct. Prior to the universalization of the Christian code of morality, Foucault argues, ethical behavior was comprised of a series of deliberate, carefully modulated practices in which the individual engaged in order to work on, adjust, moderate, or exhibit certain aspects of the self. Such practices varied from Socrates' philosophical care of his own soul to Stoic exercises such as daily journal-writing. To the extent that the Christian code of universal morality is today in question, Foucault argued, the ethics of the care of the self appears once more on the horizon of possibilities for alternative approaches to ethical conduct; without, we should add, entertaining romantic illusions about the quality of life in antiquity, for women and slaves especially, or expecting that such codes of morality will ever entirely disappear. (27) Foucault held out as examples of possible contemporary technologies of the self the practices of genealogical inquiry, writing, and sex. For an intellectual in an age of warranted suspicion with respect to received foundations, identities, and universals, the ethic of the care of the self demands that one engage in practices which disturb, render less comfortable, and detach oneself from what one thinks. "What can the ethics of an intellectual be," Foucault insisted, "if not [`detaching yourself from yourself']: to render oneself permanently capable of self-detachment." (28) Intellectual work constitutes a certain care or practice of the self in which one undertakes to think something other than what one has thought before. Foucault ranked genealogical inquiry among the most potent technologies of the self. As a practice of the self, genealogical inquiry helps us to "separate out, from the contingency that has made us what we are, the possibility of no longer being, doing, or thinking what we are, do, or think." (29) Genealogical analyses of history not only destabilize identities, thereby revealing the lack of necessity at the root of things, but produce dissociative effects on the practitioner of genealogy as well. The purpose of genealogical research, "is not to discover the roots of our identity but to commit to its dissipation [...] to make visible all of those discontinuities that cross us." (30) The dissociating and desubjectivizing experience of contingency within oneself erodes the sense of necessity attached to what one is and creates a space for experimentation. In the 1960s, Foucault had also explored the possibilities of avant garde writing for the transformation and outright effacement of the self, inspired by literary figures like Blanchot, Bataille, Klossowski, and Roussel. (31) For these authors, writing constituted a practice which, with respect to identity and subjectivity, entailed a certain degree of risk. Upon embarking on a new project, the writer ventures to transform not only the thinking of others, but his or her own as well. "Someone who is a writer," Foucault argued, "is not simply doing his work in his books, [...] his major work is, in the end, himself in the process of writing his books." (32) The aesthetics of existence demands that one continuously risk oneself and one's thinking in practices such as writing. Foucault himself was an enthusiast of such literary risk-taking as a practice of the self. "I am no doubt not the only one who writes in order to have no face," he declared in The Archaeology of Knowledge; "Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same." (33) Apart from genealogical research and writing, Foucault also identified sex as a field for practices consistent with the ethics of self-fashioning. In sexual relations Foucault endorsed, inter alia, experimentation with ways of creating new forms of pleasure which heighten and multiply its dissociative and desubjectivizing effects. (34) In his practice of S/M, for example, Foucault experimented with and risked a certain self-effacement. (35) A desire to experiment with identity and non-identity also explains the appeal of anonymous bath-house sex, where "you stop being imprisoned inside your own face, your own past, your own identity," and in which "it's not the assertion of identity that's important; it's the assertion of non-identity." (36) In general, Foucault's queer ethics and politics called not for a celebration of gayness as a code of existence but demanded, rather, the pursuit of "relationships of differentiation, of creation, of innovation." (37) For those uncomfortable with the implication that they ought to practice S/M in order to constitute themselves as ethical subjects in Foucault's sense of the term, it warrants noting that he did not insist on universalizing his own particular set of practices of the self. Cultivating self-detachment depends primarily on seeking out experiences which remove us from our habitual centers of gravity, thereby revealing the "cultural unconscious" on which our current practices, habits of thought, and limits depend. Any trip away from the self, literally and figuratively speaking, helps cultivate the sense of contingency consistent with Foucault's ethic of the care of the self. Foucault once suggested that foreign travel and immersion in other cultures, for example, might produce effects of self-detachment similar to those he sought through genealogy, writing, and sex. (38) From these examples of Foucault's own attempts to engage in an aesthetics of existence one can see how his ethics of self-fashioning takes the form of a relationship to one's self that is ever cognizant of its fragility and contingency, and in which one seeks one's own self-overcoming. In relation to his work in general, such an ethics of the care of the self follows from an acknowledgement of the contingency of identities and subject positions revealed in his genealogical studies. By revealing the artifice, contingency, and web of relations lying behind every identity, including one's own, Foucault's genealogies weaken the sense of necessity and inevitability attached to what we are, think, and do, thereby opening up a space for experimentation with new identities and social relations. Foucault's contemporary take on the art of the self entails a certain kind of care of the contingent self, one which demands that one engage in practices of the self which both reveal the conditions under which one's identity has been produced and make possible one's self-transformation. Whatever one might make of Foucault's own idiosyncratic approach to self-fashioning, this hardly seems like the strategy of the self-aggrandizing aesthete about which Foucault's critics worry. Critics like Wolin are blind to the distinction because they tend to collapse all possible modes of self-fashioning into one monolithic form of aestheticist self-absorption and cruelty. This is entirely unwarranted. The callous, self-aggrandizing aestheticism which Wolin and others rightly warn us against constitutes only one model of self-fashioning among a range of possibilities, and one that is quite distinct from the model endorsed by Foucault. By examining another model of self-creation, such as that recently expounded by Richard Rorty, we can better dramatize the differences between the models of self-creation which Foucault, on one hand, and his critics, on the other, have in mind. II. Rorty on Strong Poetry Foucault's work calls for comparison with Richard Rorty's not least because of the latter's celebration of what he calls, after Harold Bloom, the figure of the "strong poet," embodied in such paradigmatic self-fashioners as Proust, Baudelaire, and Nietzsche. Rorty also shares what he calls Foucault's "ironism," or his sense of the contingency of all that we have inherited as fixed and given in the world, including our language, social practices and institutions, moral vocabulary, and sense of ourselves qua selves. "The ironist," Rorty writes, "is a nominalist and a historicist. She thinks nothing has an intrinsic nature, a real essence." (39) Rorty, too, rejects the notion of human nature, the belief in some "deep self" as a reservoir of characteristics shared by all human beings. We are what the historical, cultural, and social determinations bearing down upon us have made us into. This has become increasingly evident thanks to the work of ironist thinkers like Nietzsche, Freud, Heidegger, and Foucault. According to Rorty, in the wake of this progressive ironization of knowledge, identity, and morality we are faced with two tasks. If we are not to lapse into conformism, or what Rorty calls "the freezing-over of culture," (40) then we must take up the existential task of producing or creating ourselves, that is, of pursuing a form of existence and identity that is as autonomous as possible from the vocabularies, identities, and practices we have inherited. In other words, we must take up the ethic of self-fashioning. On the other hand, Rorty argues, if we are to avoid lapsing into barbaric and cruel forms of social organization and practice, we must attend to the communitarian project of cultivating the sense of affiliation, solidarity, and obligation necessary to bind us to our fellow human beings. Rorty calls this communitarian project the ethic of mutual recognition and accommodation. While we most pay heed to both the urge to autonomy as well as our obligations to others, however, Rorty also sees an irreconcilable tension between the two, as we will see. According to Rorty, while we all seek to be the "authors" of our own lives to some degree, throughout history some have felt the urgency of the task of self-creation more acutely than others. Such individuals--romantic poets, philosophers, scientific geniuses, and political revolutionaries--are compelled to create whole new vocabularies, metaphors, and forms of life by the urge to disaffiliate from inherited and conventional ways of seeing, saying, and doing things. Rorty calls such figures "strong poets," and sees them as exemplars of the ethic of autonomy and self-fashioning who, in the process of creating themselves as the originators of new ways of seeing, describing, and doing things, furnish the rest of us with new vocabularies, metaphors, and practices by which to understand and create ourselves. (41) According to Rorty, the model of self-creation adopted by the strong poet is informed by a peculiar set of fears and imperatives. The strong poet is racked by what Harold Bloom has called "the anxiety of influence," or the "horror of finding himself to be only a copy or a replica." (42) His is a fear of failing to create anything new in the world, new words, or a new language, and of failing to establish a unique "I" against the "blind impress" of history and the inherited vocabularies and practices of his culture and society. (43) The strong poet's view of personal as well as aesthetic failure consists in accepting someone else's description of the world and himself, and in executing in life "a previously prepared program [...] elegant variations on previously written poems." (44) a result, the strong poet adopts an obsessive mode of self-relation in which he treats himself as an object of aesthetic manipulation. Success in strong poetry is marked by the individual's ability to recognize himself as his own creation, to look back upon what he has become and say "thus I willed it." (45) Rorty affirms the edifying potential of the kind of strong poetry practiced by ironist thinkers like Nietzsche, Freud, and Heidegger, which has the power to radically transform our cultural inheritance by furnishing us with whole new vocabularies and metaphors with which to understand and redescribe ourselves. The strong poet's model of self-fashioning, however, poses problems in terms of the question of social solidarity and concern for others. Almost inevitably, Rorty concedes, the obsessive nature of the strong poet's struggle to compose a singular "life-poem" lends a callous imperiousness to her relations with others, to the point where the latter come to be perceived as little more than raw material for her own aesthetic self-perfection. (46) In this respect, she is capable of acts of the utmost cruelty. Along with Nietzsche, Freud, and Heidegger, Rorty's gallery of strong poets is filled with a variety of "sensitive killers, cruel aesthetes, and pitiless poets," (47) including such literary creations as Dickens' Skimpole and Nabokov's Humbert Humbert. We shall examine momentarily how Rorty attempts to reconcile the obvious tension between his enthusiasm for the strong poet's ethic of self-creation and his more communitarian concern for cultivating fellow-feeling and avoiding cruelty. First, let us take note of the differences between the model of self-fashioning embodied in the practice of strong poetry and that entailed in Foucault's aesthetics of existence. While each model treats the subject as the object of its own aesthetic and ethical work, there is a considerable gap between them. This gap is opened up by the imperious, self-transcendentalizing ambition of the strong poet versus the self-reflexive practice of embracing the contingencies of selfhood and working to become something other than what one is at the centre of Foucault's aesthetics of existence. Whereas the strong poet seeks to transcend the "blind impress" of conditions frustrating his or her ambition to create a unique and glorious self, the practitioner of the Foucauldian art of the self engages in practices which reveal the contingency and lack of necessity at the root of the self and its identity, thereby promoting the desubjectivization, destabilization, and even effacement of the self. Whereas the strong poet is motivated by an elitist and romantic urge to disaffiliate altogether from the discourse and practice of his predecessors, the practitioner of the aesthetics of existence traces in meticulous detail his dependence upon them, as a necessary condition of critical detachment from what he has become through them, in the interest of carving out a space in which to invent practices and forms of life free from the pressure to automatically conform with them, and which others might take up as well. The gap between strong poetry and the aesthetics of existence widens even further when we examine these modes of self-fashioning in relation to the question of ethical responsiveness to others. Insofar as strong poetry harbors an inherent capacity for incuriosity and cruelty in relation to others, as we saw, Rorty recommends that its practice be strictly limited to the edifying activities of the individual in private life, such as reading or writing ironist theory. Nothing in the model of self-fashioning expounded by Foucault, however, explicitly sanctions or underwrites the kind of wanton manipulation and abuse of others to which the strong poet is prone. The double imperative of recognizing oneself as a product of a web of relations and contingent events, and of remaining open to self-transformation, militates against the imperiousness and cruelty inherent in the strong poet's project of self-transcendentalization. The strong poet's drive to consolidate and glorify his identity, even at the expense of others, is incompatible with the kind of ontological awareness of the lack of necessity underlying all identities, including one's own, cultivated by the Foucauldian care of the contingent self. Practices like genealogical criticism which enhance appreciation of our own contingency may well guard against the potential for cruelty inherent in drives to transcendentalize identity or universalize morality. (48) I will take up and expand this argument farther below. For now it seems clear Foucault offers us a model of self-fashioning which, in comparison to strong poetry at least, contains no explicit invitation to the kind of violence and cruelty feared by his critics. Before presenting the remainder of the case for Foucault's ethics of self-fashioning, however, the differences between the two models of self-fashioning developed here can be underscored by referring to the case of Pierre Riviere, the nineteenth-century French parricide who was the subject of a minor work by Foucault. The case is pertinent for a number of reasons. Firstly, it involves an aesthetically motivated violent crime. Riviere carried out his crime according to the imperatives of a certain project of aesthetic self-fashioning, as we shall see. As such, the case allows us to examine more concretely the relationship between models of self-fashioning and care and concern for others. Secondly, it provides an occasion to challenge the widespread caricature of Foucault as glorifying the violence and cruelty of figures like Riviere. There is no shortage of critics who have suggested that such crimes are more or less consistent with the principles of Foucault's aesthetics of existence. Yet, when Riviere's case is examined in light of the respective models of self-fashioning discussed above, it becomes clear that, far from a model for the aesthetics of existence, Riviere bears much closer resemblance to Rorty's strong poet. III. Pierre Riviere's Strong Poetry According to the documents collected and edited by Foucault as, I, Pierre Riviere, having slaughtered my mother, my sister, and my brother ..., (49) a French peasant, Pierre Riviere, confessed to the murders of his pregnant mother, sister, and younger brother in 1835. During his interrogation, Riviere produced a memoir explaining the facts leading up to, as well as the reasons behind, his crime. The ostensible motive of Riviere's attack was to relieve his father of the burden of his allegedly malicious and vindictive spouse. His sister, Riviere rationalized, was allied to his mother's cause and had therefore to be condemned as well. As for his younger brother, whom he knew to be his father's favorite, Riviere reasoned that by killing him, his father's anger would be brought upon himself, and that thus he would not be mourned by his father after his own inevitable execution. Riviere expected, indeed eagerly anticipated, a speedy execution. Instead, however, his case became the focal point of a conflict between the legal profession and the emerging medical specialty of psychiatry. The debate over Riviere's guilt dragged on for five years before the psychiatric profession finally succeeded in having his sentence commuted to life imprisonment. The Riviere case is of interest to us here because of its aesthetic dimensions. Firstly, the murders were the culmination of Riviere's lifelong attempt to distinguish himself, or, as he explained in his memoir, "make some noise in the world." (50) By murdering his mother and sister Riviere sought to transform himself into his father's savior. Moreover, by murdering his younger brother, Riviere ensured that, in spite of his sacrifice, he himself would not be mourned. Indeed, by denying himself the satisfaction of being fondly remembered by his father, Riviere's sacrifice is double. And yet, this whole tragic scene and disturbing rationalization emerged out of Riviere's self-creative bid to transcend the banality and frustration of his existence on the margins of French society in one theatrically violent grand gesture. "I thought," he wrote: that an opportunity had come for me to raise myself, that my name would make some noise in the world, that by my death I should cover myself with glory [...], Thus I took my fatal decision. (51) Riviere's self-creative urge was doubly satisfied by the narrative re-creation of his crime in the justificatory memoir he composed in prison. The same aesthetic compulsion which led him to murder his family demanded the crime's re-enactment, glorification, and immortalization in writing. On the face of it, this tragic scenario appears to confirm the fears of those critical of the ethics of self-fashioning. Just as Foucault's critics warned, an aestheticist ethic of self-creation led Riviere to commit acts of brutality against others whom he was incapable of seeing as anything other than fodder for his own project of aesthetic self-perfection and transcendence. However, while he clearly pursued a program of self-fashioning which led to acts of extreme violence, his program bears little resemblance to Foucault's aesthetics of existence as expounded above. Riviere's case confirms the violent and anti-social tendencies embedded within only one model of self-fashioning. In my view, the model adopted by Riviere is strikingly similar to strong poetry. Riviere meets many if not all of Rorty's criteria for establishing the credentials of a strong poet. Riviere was clearly afflicted by the strong poet's "anxiety of influence". According to his memoir, Riviere's thoughts were filled with visions of glory and notoriety: "I had ideas of glory, [...] I was consumed by ideas of greatness and immortality, [...] I was always preoccupied with my excellence." (52) He evinced a strong ambition to raise himself above his condition, and harbored a burning desire to invent new things and new words. (53) Of course, his ultimate creations were himself, as the glorious "savior" of his father, and his memoir, a text which, thanks to Foucault, proved to be his most potent weapon for dislodging himself from the margins of history. (54) No strong poet, Rorty tells us, can resist the compulsion to demonstrate, display and test his or her distinctiveness in writing and in deed. Riviere was no exception. Riviere could not achieve glory as the "savior" of his father without eliminating his mother. Then, facing obscurity in prison, he continued to pursue his project of singularity and transcendence by inventing and redescribing himself in writing. The strong poet, Rorty tells us, defines failure in life as the acceptance of someone else's description of the world and of oneself, which is to live life according to a "poem" one has not composed for oneself. In his prison writings, Riviere vigorously resisted medical descriptions of himself as a "madman" and relished the opportunity to stand before the courts and the public, "to have thoughts opposed to all my judges, to dispute against the whole world." (55) Finally, Riviere's strong poetry is confirmed by his display of cruelty and indifference to the suffering of those around him. The obsessive strong poet not only fails to notice how her pursuits might be affecting others but opts at times to objectify and instrumentalize others, subsuming them under the personal imperatives of her own project of transcendence. (56) The intensity of Riviere's obsession with covering himself with glory propelled him toward his final decision to kill. Far from viewing his family members as ends in themselves, Riviere objectified and instrumentalized them into mere material for his own aesthetic gratification. In Riviere's case, then, we see how a combination of the strong poet's anxiety of influence, need to dramatize and transcendentalize his identity, and tendency to view the world in aesthetic terms makes him capable of alarming acts of violence and cruelty. The strong poetry of individuals like Riviere shows us that certain models of self-fashioning can underwrite acts of disturbing violence and cruelty. According to Richard Wolin, such a model of self-fashioning inevitably leads to behavior that is manipulative and predatory: If I view other persons primarily in aesthetic terms [...] I philosophically underwrite their wanton manipulation: they become in effect material for my own personal aesthetic gratification; they are degraded to the status of bit players in the drama of my own private aesthetic spectacle. (57) Be that as it may, the Riviere case fails to confirm the potential for violence and cruelty alleged to inhere in the model of self-fashioning endorsed by Foucault. When critics claim that Foucault's ethics of self-creation underwrites forms of life which are manipulative and predatory, the model of self-fashioning they seem to have in mind has much more in common with that of the strong poet. This seems clear from the following passage from one of Wolin's essays on Foucault: instead of an ethic of reciprocity or brotherliness, Foucault opts for what we might call a dramaturgical model of conduct, in which action becomes meaningful solely qua performative gesture. But this theory risks sanctioning an approach to ethics that is brazenly particularistic and elitist. Formally, it remains only a hair's breadth removed from Nietzsche's rehabilitation of the right of the stronger. (58) When Wolin voices concerns here about the ethical implications of a model of self-fashioning which privileges the criteria of beauty or glory, however, the model he has in mind is strong poetry rather than the aesthetics of existence. As the comparison of the aesthetics of existence and strong poetry above made clear, there is a significant gap between the two models. The model of strong poetry exemplified by Riviere is prone to an insensitive imperiousness and obsessive preoccupation with the self's glorification and transcendentalization. The strong poet strives to leave a lasting, distinctive, and singular mark indicative of the extraordinariness of his identity. It is in precisely the imperiousness and self-transcendentalizing ambition he harbored, however, that Riviere can be said clearly not to have been engaged in the kind of critical and reflexive aesthetics of existence endorsed by Foucault. Contrary to the imperious indifference and transcendental obsessions of the strong poet, the practitioner of the aesthetics of existence is committed to continuous self-detachment and self-overcoming via the care of the contingent self. Foucault's model of self-creation demands the subject's continual scrutiny of and experimentation on itself. Unlike the strong poet's bid for transcendence, which cultivates an identity which is both glorious and terminal, the practitioner of the aesthetics of existence continually explores the contingent relations and events by which she has become what she is, as well as the possibilities for becoming something else. Adherence to Foucault's aesthetics of the self requires that one acknowledge the contingencies, accidents, and web of relations and events that have made one what one has become, and eschew efforts to consolidate and freeze one's identity around some idealized, naturalized, terminal self-sameness. Finally, the cruel indifference of the strong poet is invited by the aestheticization of others as merely contingent artifacts and material. On the other hand, the practitioner of the aesthetics of existence may become so attuned to the contingency and constructedness of the self that any effort to transcendentalize her identity, particularly at the expense of others, would conflict with her ontological awareness of her own contingency and fragility as a subject. The imperious and callous nature by which Riviere pursued his own aesthetic self-fashioning stemmed largely from the ambition he harbored for recognition, glory, and transcendence. In the aesthetics of existence Foucault wagers such tendencies would be weakened, if not altogether neutralized, by the acknowledgement of the contingency and instability of all identities, including one's own. In the preceding comparison, then, one is hard-pressed to find anything in Foucault's aesthetics of existence that underwrites or sanctions the kind of cruelty and indifference toward others exhibited by figures like Riviere. In my view, the predatory Nietzschean most feared by Foucault's critics is actually Rorty's strong poet. As a result, the concerns of critics like Wolin, Jay, and Megill, among others, seem rather misdirected. There is an interesting irony here. While Rorty's pragmatist defense of American liberal democracy has garnered its share of detractors, including Wolin himself, his celebration of strong poetry has barely been remarked upon. (59) In the final section of this essay, I take up the broader question of the relationship between the ethics of self-fashioning and the communitarian concern for our relationships with others. As we saw above, Rorty suggests that these two concerns embody competing and irreconcilable logics and priorities. I want to suggest, however, that Foucault's work on the aesthetics of existence reveals a way to bridge this alleged gap between self-creation and solidarity. IV. Care of the Self and Care for Others The belief that, like strong poetry, Foucault's ethics of the care of the self precludes the possibility of care or concern for others is based on the view that all forms of the ethic of self-fashioning are intrinsically hostile to what Rorty calls the communitarian ethic of mutual recognition and accommodation. Rorty shares with Foucault's non-liberal critics the view that the ethic of self-fashioning is irreconcilable with our duties to others, which explains why his celebration of strong poetry has received much less critical attention. Tied up with the ethic of self-fashioning, Rorty claims, is an inherently elitist and anti-social impulse to disaffiliate from and to disparage the community and its inherited vocabularies and practices. (60) It would be a grave mistake, therefore, to think that by adhering to the ethic of self-fashioning one somehow contributes to communal solidarity or the social good. On the contrary, any attempt to infuse our social relations or public lives with the strong poet's irony and ethic of self-creation in all likelihood would lead to disaster. If the strong poet were to become involved in public life, for example, she would find it almost impossible to resist what Nancy Fraser has called the "Sorelian temptation" to treat the community as mere material for her own aesthetic self perfection, that is, "as an empty canvas awaiting the unfettered designs of the poet-leader." (61) We run the risk of such a Sorelian nightmare, Rorty argues, when we infuse our public lives with the essentially private ethic of self-fashioning. For his part, Rorty attempts to resolve the obvious tension between his admiration for the strong poet's creative genius and his own acknowledgement of the dangers inherent in her search for autonomy and transcendence by recommending his eminently liberal "partition solution". Given that the practice of strong poetry is noxious to intersubjective relations and irrelevant, at best, to our public lives, Rorty recommends that it be confined to our private lives, to our relations with ourselves. (62) In our public discourses, meanwhile, we should strive to cultivate the communitarian ethic of mutual recognition and accommodation by adopting an "ethnocentric" attachment to discourses and practices promoting freedom, tolerance, and the avoidance of cruelty. The only way that Rorty sees, then, to preserve the equally worthy goals of self-creation and solidarity is to consign their pursuit to what he sees as the two separate and hermetically sealed spheres of private and public life. Rorty's attempt to privatize self-creation is important for our purposes because it not only throws into relief a key source of disagreement with Foucault, but also signals a break from those critics of Foucault with whom Rorty has thus far been allied. Not surprisingly, Fraser, Wolin, and McCarthy have chastised Rorty for relying on the widely discredited liberal distinction between public and private. (63) These latter arguments take us to the heart of Foucault's disagreement with Rorty, and make for some interesting bedfellows as well. Thus far, Rorty has been allied with Foucault's critics on the question of the tendencies toward cruelty allegedly inherent in the ethic of self-creation. Rorty, however, tries to preserve the edifying effects of self-creation by erecting a wall between the private pursuit of self-creation and the public pursuit of mutual care and concern, a wall which thinkers like Fraser argue cannot be maintained. In other words, while they differ with Foucault on the question of the relationship between self-creation and cruelty, many of his leftist critics implicitly agree with him, contra Rorty, on the permeability of the boundary between the public and private, that is, on the inescapable connection between the kind of relationship we have with our selves and our relations with others. For thinkers like Fraser, McCarthy, and Wolin, the effects of self-creation will inevitably spill over into intersubjective and public life, albeit for the worse. This leads us to the final argument that I want to examine here. It was Foucault's contention that there is an inevitable connection between the relationship we have with ourselves and the relations we have with others, and that the mode of self-relation at the heart of the aesthetics of existence bridges the gap alleged to exist between self-creation and solidarity. Let us examine this contention in more detail. In his writings on ethics, first of all, Foucault called attention to the relationship between the ethics of self-fashioning and care and concern for others by returning to the Ancients. For the ancient Greeks, the care of the self and care for others were intertwined; the former, which most often took the form of self-mastery, constituted an important prelude to the fulfillment of one's role as husband, father, mentor, lover, friend, master, and ruler, in which one engaged in the care of others. In The Use of Pleasure Foucault recalls Socrates' instruction to Alcibiades that the care of the self was "a precondition that had to met before one was qualified to attend to the affairs of others or lead them." (64) While Socrates admonished his fellow citizens to tend to themselves before they attend to the affairs of the city, this is by no means an invitation to neglect the latter. The care of the self is not only not incompatible with living in the city but, as Alexander Nehamas has recently argued, "will ultimately make both citizens and the city as a whole better." (65) Foucault also shows, in both The Use of Pleasure and The Care of the Self, how various Stoic exercises and spirituals were related to the practitioner's social relations and public functions. Turning to the contemporary practice of the care of the self, Foucault was drawn to practices suggesting relationships between the care of the self and care for others similar to those evident in antiquity. Foucault's comments on sexual pleasure oscillate between enthusiasm for the dissociative and desubjectivizing effects of certain practices and interest in the production of identities, novel relationships, and affective ties which stem from them. Many of the practices endorsed by Foucault were intended to weaken and destabilize the experience of self and identity as something fixed, necessary, and transcendent, to show that our present experience of ourselves "is far from filling all possible spaces." (66) On the other hand, inventiveness in the field of sexuality also afforded opportunities for the formation of new identities, relations, and communities. Following the work of Gayle Rubin, for example, Foucault emphasized the extent to which gay and lesbian S/M afford new possibilities for relations of trust, mutuality. and community. (67) "The practice of S&M is the creation of pleasure, and there is an identity with that creation. And that's why S&M is really a subculture. It's a process of invention." (68) For Foucault, the question of his homosexuality was not "`Who am I' and `What is the secret of my desire?'," but rather, "`What relations, through homosexuality, can be established, invented, multiplied, and modulated?'" (69) What interested him about homosexual desire was the opportunities it afforded for the invention of and experimentation with as yet untried relationships and affective ties with others outside heterosexist norms. (70) In Foucault's sexual aesthetics of existence, then, far from constituting a callous and ethically suspicious form of self-love and selfishness, the ethics of the care of the sexual self occasions rather than suppresses recognition of our obligations, relations, and responsibilities to others. To the concern that this emphasis on practices of the self might lead to indifference and cruelty toward others Foucault responded that such danger was mitigated precisely by the nature of the care of the contingent self. Here he returned to the Ancients and, specifically, to their analysis of the tyrannical soul. For the ancient Greeks, he argued: "the risk of dominating others and exercising tyrannical power over them arises precisely only when one has not taken care of the self and has become the slave of one's desires." (71) Today, according to Foucault, rather than mastering erotic impulses, taking proper care of the self involves disturbing the sense of necessity attached to hegemonic categories and identities by which one understands oneself. Failure to take care of ourselves in this sense, that is, when we are tempted to naturalize or transcendentalize what we have become relationally and contingently, more often than not produces the kind of domination and tyranny about which Foucault's critics worry. Such a practice of the care of the self entails cautious and mature work on the self which awakens one to the web of relations and contingent events which have contributed to what one has become, and fosters ethical responsiveness to others by militating against the urge to dominate which flows from attempts to glorify and transcendentalize one's identity. (72) Concerns about the ethical implications of Foucault's aesthetics of existence often stem from a misunderstanding of his attitude toward moral codes. The ethics of self-fashioning is routinely misinterpreted as utterly hostile to moral codes or any form of self-restraint. By stressing the strong poet's elitist urge to disaffiliate from all inherited vocabularies, moral codes, and practices, Rorty reinforces the idea that the art of the self is incommensurable with communal solidarity and fellow-feeling. Foucault's own views, however, reflect an acknowledgement of the inescapability of moral codes and systems of restraint. Returning to sexual conduct, for example, Foucault readily acknowledged that "there are sexual acts like rape which should not be permitted [...] I don't think we should have as our objective some sort of absolute freedom or total liberty of sexual action." (73) "The important point here," he continues, is not whether a culture without systems of restraint is possible or even desirable but whether the system of constraints in which a society functions leaves individuals the liberty to transform the system. Obviously constraints of any kind are going to be intolerable to certain segments of society. But a system of constraint becomes truly intolerable when the individuals affected by it don't have the means of modifying it. [...] There is no question that a society without restrictions is inconceivable. (74) The ethics of the care of the self is intended as part of a whole ensemble of practices intended to expose and transform elements of such restrictions when they are found to be unnecessary or to impose gratuitous suffering, and not to overthrow restraint and restriction altogether. Foucault's writings also reflect an understanding of the interdependence between practices of the self and the moral coding of conduct. Every morality, in the broad sense, he argued, comprises both "codes of behavior and forms of subjectivation," but certain of them, such as Christianity, emphasize the code aspects of morality whereas others, such as in the ethics of late-antiquity, can be found "in which the strong and dynamic element is to be sought in forms of subjectivation and the practices of the self." (75) The Christian code of morality, as Foucault points out, was always accompanied by certain practices of the self, even if they took the ascetic forms of self-disclosure, renunciation, and effacement. (76) Greco-Roman practices of the self, meanwhile, always took place within the context of a rudimentary set of moral conventions. In the contemporary context, one in which many aspects of the Christian code have lost their authority, Foucault was more inclined to dwell on the forms of subjectivation and the care of self. This need not be read as a total repudiation of code morality. Indeed, the interdependence Foucault detects between "forms of subjectivation" and "codes of behavior" suggests that the opposition Rorty poses between self-creation and public morality is a false one. Foucault's ethics of self-fashioning offers one possible means by which to challenge congealed aspects of moral codes and the violence they can do, and to fill the void left by their recent ebb. That he elected not to endorse any concrete vision of a moral code or system of restraint superior to the present one certainly leaves him open to misunderstanding, but it seems clear that he recognized the inescapability of one. What he resisted above all was the will to impose a universal morality that would, in its very universality and self-evidentness, become so taken-for-granted and insulated from criticism as to be impermeable to change. Foucault always saw greater risk of harm in endorsing particular moral codes than in supplying the means of criticizing them all. (77) Notwithstanding his own desire to remain above the fray of competing positive programs, it seems clear he acknowledged that no society as a whole could afford not to risk affirming something. Foucault saw his place, as an intellectual, as one of providing the means--"a critical ontology of ourselves"--to ensure that this would be done with as little harm as possible. At this point, when combined with the model of self-fashioning constructed above, a formula for an ethics of self-fashioning which simultaneously pays heed to the need for relations of care and concern for others begins to come into focus. The model for the care of the contingent self emphasizes practices which dislodge us from our habitual centers of gravity in order to reveal the contingencies lying behind every identity, including our own. Such practices not only place us in a position to discard old forms of life and social relations, especially those found to inflict gratuitous suffering, but create a space for experimenting with new ones. In addition, by calling attention to the contingencies which have made us what we are, such practices neutralize the temptation to glorify, universalize and transcendentalize what we have become, a temptation undeniably at the root of a good deal of violence and conflict today. Coupled with practices which occasion new forms of social relations and affective ties not limited to those discussed by Foucault, I think we can begin to see the outlines of a model of ethical self-fashioning worthy of much more serious consideration than his writings on the aesthetics of existence have been given thus far. Finally, while endeavoring to defend Foucault's ethics from a variety of standard criticisms, I do not want to leave the impression that it is entirely risk free. I will conclude this essay with a brief consideration of what a few such risks might be. Serious reservations about the risks of Foucault's approach to ethics have been articulated by many feminist theorists, for example. Linda Alcoff and Jana Sawicki, among others, worry about the implications of adopting a relationship to oneself and one's identity in which one seeks self-detachment and even self-erasure. (78) They are right to point out the strategic importance of identity formation and consolidation to those engaged in various struggles against domination. Furthermore, Alcoff and Sawicki remind us to be wary of the elitism and androcentrism implicit in calls to retreat from the traditional field of political struggle and contestation in favor of devoting ourselves to practices of the self. Finally, thinkers representing a wide range of perspectives from conservatism to critical theory and feminism have pointed to the potential danger that self-detachment may lead not only to a diluted sense of self which one may be less inclined to defend when trespassed upon, but to very weak attachments to others as well. Alasdair MacIntyre, for example, has argued that Foucault's resistance to the notion of the self as identical and continuous with itself over time excludes the possibility of individuals being held accountable and responsible for their past words and deeds, including those which inflicted harm. Insofar as he or she continuously disavows his or her identity as continuous, the decentered subject "faces grave difficulties in constructing a narrative of his or her past which would allow any acknowledgement in that past for a failure, let alone a guilty failure." (79) These are serious concerns worthy of deeper reflection on the part of anyone interested in Foucauldian ethics. A careful reading of Foucault's work also supplies the beginnings of a response to them. Firstly, while Foucault was certainly interested in certain forms of self-erasure, the aesthetics of existence encompasses a broad range of practices of which the former makes up only a small part. Indeed, his own injunction to excavate the voices and "subjugated knowledge" of those who have picked up the tab for Western civilization as we know it--including women--has been responsible in some small measure for the excavation, consolidation, and celebration of the kind of subjugated identities Alcoff and Sawicki affirm. Where Foucault parts company with them, perhaps, is in his insistence that "everything is dangerous" and his consequent refusal to pass over in silence the dangers accompanying every assertion of identity. The struggle within the feminist movement itself these last two decades to acknowledge and come to terms with its own exclusions suggests that Foucault's position is more prudent than reckless. Furthermore, recent Foucault-inspired work on "governmentality" by Barbara Cruickshank, for example, has revealed the extent to which tools of identity-formation such as consciousness-raising, empowerment, and self-esteem workshops, previously taken for granted by many feminists as more or less benign, are themselves implicated in strategies of liberal governance. (80) The emancipatory or non-repressive nature of identities, then, including those assumed in the course of struggle against domination, can never be taken for granted. Foucault's late interest in various practices of the self also raises concern that he endorsed an elitist retreat into the private world of the self and one's identity at the expense of political engagement. But Foucault's work was intended to challenge precisely this sort of equation of the arts of the self with selfishness and apoliticism. According to Foucault, the relationship one maintains with oneself and one's identity--the extent to which one cultivates a critical and reflexive awareness of its largely constructed nature, or not--inevitably bears on one's relations with others. Insisting on the apoliticism of the concern for self, and setting it up in opposition to solidarity and political engagement actually reproduces the liberal conceptual split between private and public, or self and society, which Foucault's leftist and feminist critics otherwise reject. In any event, Foucault assumed that individuals would remain politically engaged and active in a conventional sense, as he was, and never intended that the ethics of self-fashioning would substitute for such. Finally, the concern that Foucault's ethics of self-fashioning might lead to an increasingly dilute and ironic sense of self with a weakened sense of attachment to and responsibility for others is more difficult to assuage. Foucault does appear to have a weakening and scattering of identities, vocabularies, and moralities as his objective. He also appears willing to tolerate the kind of collective pain and disorientation that accompanies ironic redescriptions of hegemonic identities and moralities at the hands of figures like Nietzsche, as an acceptable price for insuring against the cost of future moral u Rorsty just died in June. i almost thought it was rusty and cried out for him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti United Fools can do accounting better than that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti am i your mom? why not offer to re-model the kitchen yourself? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti did i do that? only rusty can save you btw, how many people know your real name, 'prince Debbie'? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti let me try if i can remember your real name yes, i do. duxup loves you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti 'fragile things' dreamhaven ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti i know who you are 2... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti screwmeplz.cum ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti or 'no dick, you 2'? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti RDF & OWL You may wonder why the "Web Ontology Language" has the acronym "OWL".

He as impressed by Newman. Kingsley accused him of insincerity. But Newman was sincere. He, W., had read Grammar of Assent too. That was puzzling. How a man of such learning and culture could believe such things! Newman had a queer mind. Later I pressed him for an explaination. Did he mean by 'queer' that a man like Newman should have ecome a Roman Catholic? Oh, no. My best friends and the best students are converts. What is queer about Newman is the kind of reasons he gives for becoming a Roman Catholic. On miracles, Newman cites the case of Christians, who taken by savages had their tongues cut out, and yet they could speak. He gives a natural explaination for this - if the tongue is only half cut off a man cannot speak, but if wholly cut off a man still can - but Newman then goes on to say that it may nevertheless have been a miracle. Again: The pope excommunicated Napoleon. Napoleon said he didn't care so long as his soldiers' weapons did not fall out of their hands. Some years later in Moscow, in Russia, this is literally what happened. What was Newman doing? HE argued that miracles occur still? How? What God has done once he contrives to do - usually. This is the osrt of thing that is so queer in Newman. - excerpt from WITTGENSTEIN Conversation 1949-51 by O.K.

The editing owes something to 60s Godard - lots of jump cuts in the dialogue scenes - and 80s Rohmer - anguished 30 somethings worrying about true love - and possibly, in its tour de force final sequence, a reference to La Jetee, which is also of course about memory, fate, and mortality. And then there is the rather bizarre Audrey reference which opens the film: as Nora steps out of a black car, clutching her morning coffee, clothed in black, her hair wound up on her head, the strains of Monn River sound. So far, so post-modern. This is is a film that is freighted with filmic, literary, theatrical (esp Shakespeare and the Tempest) and artistic allusions, but that uses these in service of a specific point: that these cultural references and allusions make the web of our being - that art is how we communicate to each other (notice that all the characters communicate through art - the gift Nora gives her father, the music Ismael dances to, the book the father writes - even the 'murder scene' is filmed through a highly stylised mise-en-scene): that 'artifice' can reveal the deepest and most moving of human emotions. It is a beautiful film that will move you and make you leave the cinema feeling transported. And Deneuve is just great! I love the bit where Ismael asks her if anyone has ever told her she's beautiful, and she gives a slight twist of her lips, sighs, and says, yes, she has heard that before.

In his choosing Dionysus over Christ, Nietzsche was rightly seeing the only alternatives, but choosing the way of what Girard coined the "primitive sacred." The eternal return is the way that violence "makes gods" and establishes (at least) three elements necessary for culture formation: myth, ritual, and prohibition. After the founding violence during which a victim is arbitrarily chosen and cast out or murdered, myth develops, making the now unified people feel good about their actions of violence. Ritual too accrues vital importance, re-enacting the founding violence so as to "bind back" (religare) the people to what made them unified. This accounts for the universal presence of a sacrificial altar at the heart of every culture. And, finally, prohibitions keep people from falling into behaviors that threaten to destroy culture (murder, adultery, incest, etc.) before ressentiment can be siphoned off in the sanctioned, ritualized, cathartic events of sacrifice. The "eternal return" takes place in Girard's understanding when the ritual no longer carries sufficient cathartic effect to cohere the culture. It spirals into a sacrificial event (the prologue called "sacrificial preparation") during which prohibitions, distinctions, and taboos are erased, and cultural "meltdown", as it were, occurs. Many see western civilization in just such a stage of the eternal return. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in Internet Radio silent protest How do you feel about it?

Christian evangelicals have faith that the world will soon come to an end. What they don't see is that it might come to an end because of their faith. Enlightened liberals, naturally enough, detest this kind of zealotry. But because most of them are disastrously ignorant of theology, they fail to see that right-wing evangelicals are wrong even by religious standards. And this means that enlightened liberals deprive themselves of some vital weapons which can be wielded against the evangelicals. The Christian right sees morality as being basically about sex and the family. The New Testament they claim to venerate takes exactly the opposite view. The God of the Old Testament certainly seems to have had it in for Sodom and Gomorrah, but no reputable biblical scholar now holds that it was because of homosexuality. The twin cities got whacked in an early Israelite power struggle with their enemies, not because the cities' menfolk were leaping into bed with each other. The New Testament has strikingly little to say about sex. (Curiously enough, it has strikingly little to say about gun ownership either, except for remarking that those who take up weapons will die by them.) Jesus hangs around with criminals and prostitutes. To the horror of his minders, he talks compassionately to an adulterous Samarian woman, thus violating three rules simultaneously: a young celibate religious leader in first-century Palestine would not usually be seen alone talking to a woman; he would give a wide berth to a sexually disreputable woman; and a Galilean such as Jesus would think twice before consorting with Samarians, the country bumpkins of the region. The New Testament is also largely silent about the family, though what little it has to say is unremittingly hostile. With commendable impudence, the boy Jesus refuses to apologise to his distraught parents for wandering off. He insists instead that what he calls his Father's business takes priority over domestic loyalties. Any pious Jew of the time would have understood that his Father's business did not mean, in the first place, religious ritual, but questions of justice and solidarity. What Jesus has in mind are the staple Judaic obligations of feeding the hungry, welcoming immigrants and protecting the poor from the violence of the rich. Later, he will propose that such things, rather than churchgoing and piety, are the criteria for salvation or damnation. With a celibate son, a virgin mother and a cuckold for a father, the Holy Family was hardly the kind they celebrate down in Dallas. The most important Father of all in the New Testament wantonly condemns his own son to death. When Jesus is in the womb, Luke's Gospel puts into his mother's mouth a triumphal chant traditionally known as the "Magnificat", all about the hungry being filled with good things and the rich being sent away empty, which some biblical scholars suspect to have been popular among the Zealots, the underground anti-colonial movement of the day. In fact, to the casual by stander, Jesus himself might have sounded much like a Zealot. He would have refused marriage not because he had anything against sex (for Saint Paul, marital love is a sign of the coming kingdom of justice), but because domestic commitments would have impeded his mission to the poor. Footloose popular leaders can't be bothered with mortgages. Jesus makes a point of his homelessness. He has no respectable suburb to which he can retire after a hard day's healing, and has harsh words for an intending follower who wants to say goodbye to his family before joining up. He tells his followers brutally that the choice is between their parents (whom they must "hate") and himself. Justice cuts through the conventional bonds of kinship: he has come, he announces, to divide households, setting those who seek his sort of justice against those who do not. When a woman in the crowd loudly blesses the womb that bore him, he spurns this pious compliment, observing in his customarily acidic way that the blessed are, rather, those who keep God's word. When his mother and brothers ask to see him, he tells them abruptly to wait, commenting that his true mother and brothers are those who do God's will. In short, he goes out of his way to put the skids under the whole ideology of family values. None of this makes much sense to those for whom morality is about the bedroom rather than the boardroom. When Margaret Thatcher was asked what she thought the New Testament was about, she replied, quite insanely, "freedom of choice". This is only slightly less absurd than seeing it as being about reforming the electoral system or banning fox-hunting. It is tempting to call George W Bush and his fellow bigots Pharisees, were it not that this would be to demean the Pharisees of the Bible, who were in some respects the theological wing of the anti-Roman Zealots. The New Testament Pharisees were anti-colonialists, but of a purist, exclusivist, theocratic kind, rather like some Islamist radicals today. Jesus reserved his most frightful curses for this self-righteous bunch, loudly broadcasting his opinion that they were probably damned to hell. US evangelicals, who see religion as being all about success and suburban respectability, are the latter-day inheritors of this odiously hypocritical crew. It is just that their obsession with worldly success makes it hard to see why they should worship an executed political criminal who was a total failure.

To the Reader Stupidity, error, sin, cupidity - they squat in our minds and torment our bodies, while we nourish our comforting remorse, the way beggars feed their lice. Our sins are headstrong, our repentance fainthearted. We make our confession firm and full and saunter back into the mire, confident in cheap tears to rinse us clean. On the pillow of perdition Satan Trismegistus lulls the mind, spellbinds it, and the fine metal of our will is quite vaporized by this clever chemist. It's the Devil holds the strings that move us! We find allure in loathsome objects, each day another step toward hell, unhorrified, downward through stinking shadows. Like some rake, sunk to slobbering, gumming the brutalized tit of a superannuated whore, we grasp in passing a clandestine pleasure to squeeze hard, as on an overripe orange. Huddled, teeming, like gut-worms by the million, a clutch of Demons make whoopee in our brain and, when we breathe, Death floods our lungs, an invisible torrent, muffled in groans. Rape, poison, the knife, fire - if these have not yet embroiled with absurd design the banal story of our sorry destiny, it's merely that our soul is, alas! not bold enough. But among jackas, panthers, bitch hounds, apes, scorpious, vultures, serpents - monsters yapping, howling, grumbling, crawling - in the foul menagerie of our vices. there is one still uglier, meaner, filthier! Who without grand gesture, without a yawp, would gladly shiver the earth, swallow up the world, in a yawn. Who? Ennui! Eye brimming with involuntary tears, dreaming of gallows while puffing on his hookah. You know him, reader, this dainty monster - hypocrite reader, - my fellow - my brother!

Lesbos, where kisses are like cascades falling fearlessly into bottomless abysses and flow, sobbing and chuckling in turn, stormy and secret, teeming and deep; Lesbos, where kisses are like cascades! Lesbos, where Phrynes entice one another, where no sigh goes unechoed, the stars admire you even as they do Paphos, and Venus has reason to be jealous of Sappho! Lesbos, where Phrynes entice one another; Lesbos, land of warm langorous nights, so that at their mirrors - sterile pleasure - girls with deep-set eyes and amorous bodies, caress the ripe of fruit of their nubility; Lesbos, land of warm langourous nights. let old Plato wrinkle his austere brow; you gain your pardon from excess of kisses, queen of the tender empire, amiable and noble land, with always a reserve of refinements. Let old Plato wrinkle his austere brow. You gain your pardon from eternal martyrdom, continually inflicted on ambitious hearts, drawn from us by the radiant smile glimpsed vaguely on the edge of other skies! You gain your pardon from eternal martyrdom! Which of the Gods would dare, Lesbos, to be your judge, to condemn your forehead grown pale from labors, if the golden scales had not tipped from the deluge of your tears streaming to the sea? Which of the gods would dare, Lesbos, to be your judge! What would we want with laws for just and unjust? Lofty heart virgins, pride of the Aegean, your religion as august as any: love will hoot at Hell and at Heaven. What would we want with laws for just and unjust? For Lesbos chose me above any on earth to sing the secret of its flowering maidens. From childhood I was admitted to the dark mystery of unbridled laughter mingled with veiled tears, for Lesbos chose me above any on earth. And, ever since, I keep watch on the summit of Leucadia, like a sentinel with keen and steady eyes, on the lookout for brigantine, coaster or frigate whose distant form shimmers on the blue; and, ever since, I keep watch on the summit of Leucadia. to test if the sea is forbearing and good, and will, some evening, among sobs echoed on the cliff-rock, bring back to forgiving Lesbos the adored body of Sappho, who left to test if the sea is forbearing and good! The virile Sappho, lover and poet, more beautiful than Venus by her mournful pallor! - blue eye is outdone by black eye, speckled by dark circles traced by sorrows upon the virile Sappo, lover and poet. -- More beautiful than Venus rising on the world and pouring down her treasures of serenity and the radiance of her blond youthfulness upon the antique Ocean of her enchanted daughter, more beautiful than Venus rising on the world. -- Sappho, who died the day of her blasphemy, when, insulting the rite and the contrived cult, she gave her beautiful body as main course for a brutal man whose pride punished the impiety of her who died the day of her blasphemy. And ever since then Lesbos laments and, despite honors the universe tenders, each night lies drunken from the cry of torment that rises to the heavens from its deserted beaches! And ever since then, Lesbos laments!

And even if one were to suddenly take me to its heart, I would vanish into its stronger existence. For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, that we are still able to bear, and we revere it so, because it calmly disdains to destroy us. Every Angel is terror. And so I hold myself back and swallow the cry of a darkened sobbing. Ah, who then can we make use of? Not Angels: not men, and the resourceful creatures see clearly that we are not really at home in the interpreted world. Perhaps there remains some tree on a slope, that we can see again each day: there remains to us yesterday's street, and the thinned-out loyalty of a habit that liked us, and so stayed, and never departed. Oh, and the night, the night, when the wind full of space wears out our faces - whom would she not stay for, the longed-for, gentle, disappointing one, whom the solitary heart with difficulty stands before. Is she less heavy for lovers? Ah, they only hide their fate between themselves. Do you not know yet? Throw the emptiness out of your arms to add to the spaces we breathe; maybe the birds will feel the expansion of air, in more intimate flight. Yes, the Spring-times needed you deeply. Many a star must have been there for you so you might feel it. A wave lifted towards you out of the past, or, as you walked past an open window, a violin gave of itself. All this was their mission. But could you handle it? Were you not always, still, distracted by expectation, as if all you experienced, like a Beloved, came near to you? (Where could you contain her, with all the vast strange thoughts in you going in and out, and often staying the night.) But if you are yearning, then sing the lovers: for long their notorious feelings have not been immortal enough. Those, you almost envied them, the forsaken, that you found as loving as those who were satisfied. Begin, always as new, the unattainable praising: think: the hero prolongs himself, even his falling was only a pretext for being, his latest rebirth. But lovers are taken back by exhausted Nature into herself, as if there were not the power to make them again. Have you remembered Gastara Stampasufficiently yet, that any girl, whose lover has gone, might feel from that intenser example of love: `Could I only become like her?' Should not these ancient sufferings be finally fruitful for us? Isn't it time that, loving, we freed ourselves from the beloved, and, trembling, endured as the arrow endures the bow, so as to be, in its flight, something more than itself? For staying is nowhere. Voices, voices. Hear then, my heart, as only saints have heard: so that the mighty call raised them from the earth: they, though, knelt on impossibly and paid no attention: such was their listening. Not that you could withstand God's voice: far from it. But listen to the breath, the unbroken message that creates itself from the silence. It rushes towards you now, from those youthfully dead. Whenever you entered, didn't their fate speak to you, quietly, in churches in Naples or Rome? Or else an inscription exaltedly impressed itself on you, as lately the tablet in Santa Maria Formosa. What do they will of me? That I should gently remove the semblance of injustice, that slightly, at times, hinders their spirits from a pure moving-on. It is truly strange to no longer inhabit the earth, to no longer practice customs barely acquired, not to give a meaning of human futurity to roses, and other expressly promising things: no longer to be what one was in endlessly anxious hands, and to set aside even one's own proper name like a broken plaything. Strange: not to go on wishing one's wishes. Strange to see all that was once in place, floating so loosely in space. And it's hard being dead, and full of retrieval, before one gradually feels a little eternity. Though the living all make the error of drawing too sharp a distinction. Angels (they say) would often not know whether they moved among living or dead. The eternal current sweeps all the ages, within it, through both the spheres, forever, and resounds above them in both. Finally they have no more need of us, the early-departed, weaned gently from earthly things, as one outgrows the mother's mild breast. But we, needing such great secrets, for whom sadness is often the source of a blessed progress, could we exist without them? Is it a meaningless story how once, in the grieving for Linos, first music ventured to penetrate arid rigidity, so that, in startled space, which an almost godlike youth suddenly left forever, the emptiness first felt the quivering that now enraptures us, and comforts, and helps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in www.lxbook.org/zjzp/german/rilke2.htm GOOGLE gives a warning when i try to surf www.lxbook.org/zjzp/german/rilke2.htm "This site may harm your computer" I went and read a pretty good review on Rilke in Chinese. who knows what's going on? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in tumeric vs. sye Sun Jun 1, 2003, ajf: "I once wondered whether turmeric's less coherent ramblings were styled on sye's style, or if they both speak the same other-than-English first language, or something..."

Discovery by Guelph scientists may show how recalled pet food became toxic Canadian Press Published: Friday, April 27, 2007 Article tools GUELPH, Ont. (CP) - Scientists at the University of Guelph say they have discovered a chemical process that may explain how pets in Canada and the United States were affected by contaminants discovered in recalled pet food products last month. They found that melamine and cyanuric acid - compounds identified as contaminants in the gluten that was used in the recalled pet food - react with one another to form crystals that may block kidney function. Tests conducted at the university's laboratory identified these crystal-like substances in the kidneys and urine of affected animals. Further experiments showed that the chemical composition of the crystals that are formed when these two compounds interact matches the composition of urinary crystals removed from affected animals. The scientists believe the findings may provide evidence of a link between these compounds and the deaths of pets exposed to contaminated food. One researcher says the findings explain how two compounds that weren't dangerous on their own could become toxic when they react together.

I touch you in the night, whose gift was you, My careless sprawler, And I touch you cold, unstirring, star-bemused, That are become the land of your self-strangeness. What long seduction of the bone has led you Down the imploring roads I cannot take Into the arms of ghosts I never knew, Leaving my manhood on a rumpled field To guard you where you lie so deep In absent-mindedness, Caught in the calcium snows of sleep? And even should I track you to your birth Through all the cities of your mortal trial, As in my jealous thought I try to do, You would escape me -- from the brink of earth Take off to where the lawless auroras run, You with your wild and metaphysic heart. My touch is on you, who are light-years gone. We are not souls but systems, and we move In clouds of our unknowing like great nebulae. Our very motives swirl and have their start With father lion and with mother crab. Dreamer, my own lost rib, Whose planetary dust is blowing Past archipelagoes of myth and light, What far Magellans are you mistress of To whom you speed the pleasure of your art? As through a glass that magnifies my loss I see the lines of your spectrum shifting red, The universe expanding, thinning out, Our worlds flying, oh flying, fast apart. From hooded powers and from abstract flight I summon you, your person and your pride. Fall to me now from outer space, Still fastened desperately to my side; Through gulfs of streaming air Bring me the mornings of the milky ways Down to my threshold in your drowsy eyes; And by the virtue of your honeyed word Restore the liquid language of the moon, That in gold mines of secrecy you delve. Awake! My whirling hands stay at the noon, Each cell within my body holds a heart And all my hearts in unison strike twelve. - 'The Serpent's Word' by Stanley Kunitz where words break, no thing may be... poetry is to give light to the inertia of fear. that's how i see it... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in so how many times... your mind sensed rejections and it wouldn't come out of that inertia without violent encounters? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in Martin Bryant, brother of Cho is still alive...

She is from Shanghai and highschool classmate of a friend of mine. I wonder how she survived her peronsal loss as reported by Telegraph on 6/6/06. Can we forgive all dead for life is so fragile and we have no choice but have faith in goodness among all living things. ALTON - Staring at the three caskets in front of her, a distraught wife and mother mourned the loss of her husband and two sons Monday. Attempts to comfort Qinuo Van Dyk were unsuccessful as she wept for her husband, Dr. Edward Van Dyk, 43, and sons, Carl, 8, and Spencer, 4. Gent Funeral Home in Alton served as a place for family, friends and colleagues to mourn the Memorial Day weekend double-murder and suicide. "You just don't expect this sort of tragedy to touch anyone you know in that context," said Rachel Levi, Spencer's Sunday school teacher at the Ethical Society of St. Louis. Levi is not alone in her disbelief regarding the deaths. Those who know the Van Dyk family were shocked when they heard of the tragedy. Van Dyk killed his two sons by throwing them off a 15-story balcony at a hotel room in Miami. He then jumped to his death. The family had been on vacation, celebrating the Van Dyks' 10th wedding anniversary. A private burial for the father and sons will be held at a later date. Qinuo Van Dyk told police that she and her husband had been having problems in their marriage, but things had been improving. Oebele Van Dyk, Edward's father, said his son seemed delusional in a phone conversation just two days prior to the deaths of his son and grandchildren. The day of the funeral service, three closed caskets sat at the front of the room. A stuffed animal sat on each of the boys' small caskets. A white teddy bear with a captain's shirt and hat rested on top of Carl's and a gray koala with a black graduation gown and cap sat on Spencer's. Edward Van Dyk's casket was adorned with flowers. Two violins and a cello filtered from above, serving as a prelude to the service. Kate Lovelady, leader of the Ethical Society of St. Louis, the Van Dyks' church, led the service. "All families will come to know the pain and grief of losing someone," Lovelady said during the service. A video slideshow with pictures of the Van Dyk family during happier times played in another room. As mourners stopped to watch, photos highlighting the smiling faces of Carl and Spencer flashed on the screen. Montessori Children's House in Godfrey, where the Van Dyk boys once attended, sent a wreath covered with teddy bears, some with angel wings. People filled the pews in the small funeral home room and some sat in chairs off to the side, while others watched silently from a room farther back. Four friends and colleagues gave remembrances on Edward and the two boys. Many of Edward Van Dyk's colleagues from Alton Memorial Hospital listened as Ron McMullen, president of Alton Memorial, described Van Dyk's 18 months as medical director of the hospital's Cancer Care Center. "Dr. Van Dyk was one of the best," McMullen said during his remembrance. Patti Brown and Dorothy Cronin of the Nature Institute, where the boys attended summer camp, shared stories as well as tears about their interaction with Carl and Spencer. "He kept me on my toes," Brown said about Carl, her voice cracking as she fought back tears. Both Brown and Cronin recalled the boys' funnier moments. Brown remembered a time when Carl corrected her facts on a particular species of spider. Brown said that when she checked her facts after camp was over for the day, Carl was right. Brown and Cronin described the boys as smart, inquisitive children. Brown said today was the first day of the summer camp. Curt Comstock, a close friend of the Van Dyks from Albuquerque, N.M., brought the sympathy and memories from friends there. Comstock recalled a woman saying Carl attended her child's birthday party. When she offered Carl a slice of birthday cake, he declined, saying he might get diabetes if he ate it. More tears followed as a musical interlude granted people time to mourn and reminisce over lives lost. Lovelady spoke again, this time on behalf of Qinuo Van Dyk. Qinuo and Edward had been together 13 years, married for 10. "Above all things, they were a loving and happy family," Lovelady said. Qinuo described her husband as loving, kind and warm, Lovelady said. The family was tight-knit, spending quality time together on evenings and weekends. As Lovelady spoke, a mother leaned over and whispered in her son's ear as she tried not to cry. She laid her head on his as he nodded, and her arm pulled him to her. Another mom hugged her daughter close as tears flooded her eyes. Edward Van Dyk was the softer parent, the one the boys sought out if they needed something, Lovelady said. Levi said Spencer evoked smiles from everyone he encountered. "He was just a joy to be around and such a gentle spirit," Levi said. "He loved playing with the cars. His joy was infectious." Peter Vonzurmuehlen, playground monitor at the Sunday school, said he knew Carl and Spencer better than their parents. "For my part, I only saw them for a few hours on Sunday," Vonzurmuehlen said. "Spencer was only four; he was just in the nursery. He was with the other kids and they'd play." Both Levi and Vonzurmuehlen said the boys were smart and expressed disbelief at the double murder and suicide. "It's too enormous to put into a few words," Vonzurmuehlen said. Lovelady said the family hadn't been with the Ethical Society for too long and she didn't know the Van Dyks all that well. McMullen said he knew Edward Van Dyk through his work at the Cancer Care Center. "He was very open to patients talking to him about anything," McMullen said. Treatment for patients at the Cancer Care Center at Alton Memorial has been continued, McMullen said. A temporary physician from the Belleville Cancer Center volunteered to take over Van Dyk's position until a permanent physician is hired. "We are recruiting actively for a new medical director," McMullen said. However, McMullen said Edward Van Dyk and his contributions to the center will not be forgotten. "It's time to move on and continue the legacy that he left," McMullen said. stephanie_kiszczak@thetelegraph.com background check YES according to this Question is what is the background of desiring to own a gun? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in Chinesenews reports the gun man may be a Chinese F-1 student 24 years of age, entered US at SF on Aug. 7, 2006. details in Chinese i find it hard to believe unless he is a active PLA soldier with CIA laison or something... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in initially officials said the shooting was domestic Chief Flinchum said that initially officials thought that the shooting was "domestic," suggesting that it was between individuals who knew each other, and isolated to the dormitory.

Shooting Suspect Manhunt Closes Va. Tech Police seal off Virginia Tech campus in hunt for escaped inmate suspected in 2 shootings BLACKSBURG, Va., Aug. 21, 2006 (AP) Virginia Tech shut down its campus Monday and ordered everyone to remain inside as authorities searched for an escaped inmate suspected of killing a hospital guard and a sheriff's deputy. William Morva, 24, had been seen near the campus, authorities said. Montgomery County Sheriff's Cpl. Eric E. Sutphin was closing in on him Monday morning along a trail off the university campus when he was fatally shot, the sheriff's department said. Officials canceled the first day of classes for the more than 25,000 students at Virginia Tech as a precaution. "We did close the campus and asked people to stay in dorms and academic areas," campus Police Lt. Vincent Houston told The Associated Press. Morva, an inmate at Montgomery County Jail, escaped from a hospital early Sunday after overpowering a sheriff's deputy taking the deputy's gun and then shooting an unarmed hospital security guard, authorities said. He had been taken to Montgomery Regional Hospital for treatment of a sprained leg and wrist. Police narrowed their search to an area that includes the university campus, about one block from the Blacksburg Police Station. Authorities swept the area using helicopters and dogs. "Whatever it takes, until he's caught," said police Lt. Joe Davis. Morva had been jailed awaiting trial on charges of attempting to rob a store last year. The hospital security, Derrick McFarland, 26, was shot and killed when he tried to help the deputy Morva had overpowered. The deputy was in stable condition with injuries he suffered in the attack.

This, and many other things explain why I just cannot understand atheism. I just cannot. If I were to take "rationality" to its limit, I would then have to treat the dead no differently from the unborn, those who came and left us in the same manner as those who do not exist yet. Otherwise I would be making the mistake of sunk costs [endowment effect]. I cannot & I just do not want to. Homo sum! I want to stay rational in the profane, not the sacred.] from Fooled by randomness Oraisons funbres All men have flaws, all men have some measure of greatness in them. By the confirmation bias (q.v.), you can write a panegyric or you can write a philippic of the very same person. But nowhere the beauty of sentiment is greater than with the eulogy, the funeral oration -the sanctification of someone's memory, a sort of glorified look at the half-full side of the story. "Entre ici, Jean Moulin, avec ton terrible cortege!" (Malraux...you can see it on UTube!) Bossuet did close to 500 orations, only twelve of which were oraisons funbres; these are the ones we use to learn elegant French prose. Beyond the eulogy and the funeral oration, the more subtle elegy has a noble tone to it. True, do I care about the truth or about the sacred? Both, of course. The most potent memory of my visit to Saint Petersburg was the sight of young girls dressed in Sunday clothes coming to put flowers in front of Pushkin's memorial statue. My soft spot for Mitterand comes from his expertise in cemeteries -and his compulsive honoring of the dead (+ his obsession with Il deserto dei tartari). People who care about the dead. I wonder if there is a code of honor of what to say about someone when the body is still warm. I don't like living in a world without elegance; I don't like living in a world in which people speak ill of the dead, & thanks to the long tail & the tailor made web, I would like to construct my own world in way that fits my sense of ethics/aesthetics.

After the novel's release, Murakami's Japanese publisher set up a website allowing readers to submit questions regarding the meaning of the book. 8,000 questions were received and Murakami responded personally to about 1,200 of them. In an interview posted on his English language website, Murakami stated that the secret to understanding the novel lies in reading it multiple times. Murakami: "Kafka on the Shore contains several riddles, but there aren't any solutions provided. Instead, several of these riddles combine, and through their interaction the possibility of a solution takes shape. And the form this solution takes will be different for each reader. To put it another way, the riddles function as part of the solution. It's hard to explain, but that's the kind of novel I set out to write." indeed.

The Chilean coup d'tat of 1973 was a watershed event in the history of Chile and the Cold War. Historians and partisans alike have wrangled over its implications ever since. On September 11, 1973, less than three months after the first failed coup attempt, and less than a month after the Chamber of Deputies of Chile, where the Opposition held a majority, condemned Allende's alleged breaches of the constitution and requested his forcible removal, the Chilean military overthrew president Salvador Allende, who died during the coup.

A.S.Pushkin. Eugene Onegin (tr.Ch.Johnston) . Translator's note Few foreign masterpieces can have suffered more than Eugene Onegin from the English translator's failure to convey anything more than -- at best -- the literal meaning. It is as if a sound-proof wall separated Pushkin's poetic novel from the English-reading world. There is a whole magic which goes by default: the touching lyrical beauty, the cynical wit of the poem; the psychological insight, the devious narrative skill, the thrilling, compulsive grip of the novel; the tremendous gusto and swing and panache of the whole performance. Vladimir Nabokov's rendering into unrhymed iambics reproduces the exact meaning, but explicitly disclaims any further ambition. While Nabokov admits that in losing its rhyme the work loses its ``bloom'' he argues, irrefutably, that no rhyming version can be literally accurate. It can however certainly strive for something else. It can attempt to produce some substitute for the ``bloom'' of the original, without which the work is completely dead. It can try to convey the poet's tone of voice, whether world-weary or romantic, the sparkle of his jokes, the flavour of his epigrams, the snap of his final couplets. None of these effects can emerge from a purely literal unrhymed translation. In fact, to offset the inevitable loss in verbal exactness, a rhyming version can aim at a different sort of accuracy, an equivalence or parallelism conveying, however faintly, the impact of the original. Apart from the overall difficulty of his task, the translator with ambitions of this type will find that Pushkin's work presents him with two particular problems. The brio of the Russian text partly depends on a lavish use not only of French and other foreign words, but of slang and of audacious Byronic-type rhymes. If the translator produces nothing comparable, he is emasculating his original. If he attempts to follow suit, he must do all he can to avoid the pitfalls of the embarrassing, the facetious and the arch. {29} Secondly, he must be on his guard against the ludicrous effect that the feminine ending (for instance the pleasure/measure rhyme, which is so much derided by Nabokov) can all too easily produce in English. He must not sing, like Prince Gremin in one English version of Chaykovsky's opera: ``I wouldn't be remotely human Did I not love the Little Woman.'' (The libretto of the opera, which was written and first performed more than forty years after Pushkin's death, is by Chaykovsky himself and Konstantin Shilovsky, a minor poet of the time. It is nominally based on Pushkin's text, but in fact the relationship is not very close.) Anyway, it should be possible now, with the help of Nabokov's literal translation and commentary, to produce a reasonably accurate rhyming version of Pushkin's work which can at least be read with pleasure and entertainment, and which, ideally, might even be able to stand on its own feet as English. That, in all humility, is the aim of the present text. Acknowledgements are due to Messrs. Routledge and Kegan Paul for permission to quote from Vladimir Nabokov's notes in volumes 2 and 3 of his edition of Eugene Onegin (London, 1964. Revised edition, 1976).

The aversion and intuition i had against Falungong is forever stronger. The Theology of History in St. Bonaventure His postdoctoral dissertation was devoted to St. Thomas Aquinas's contemporary, St. Bonaventure, who was also very much in the Augustinian tradition. Entitled The theology of History in St. bonaventure (German 1955, American 1971), it is an analysis of the attempt by the great Franciscan theologian to come to terms iwth the then-new understanding of history conceived by the abbot Joachim of Fiore (ca. 1135-1202). The latter's essentially Gnostic speculations were taken up by some of the followers of St. Francis, known as the Spirituals, whose radical interpretation of Franciscan poverty combined with a Joachimite apocalyptic interpretation of history made them the first revolutionary movement of the second milliennium. Their goal was to usher i na new age marked by a spiritual brotherhood of all men. They split the early Franciscans in two and forced Bonaventure, the master general of the young Franciscan congregation, to address Joachim's theories. As Eric Voegelin has shown, the speculationso f Joachim of Fiore are in large part the source of modernity. They effectively helped replace the Augustinian concept of history that had informed Western Christendom up to then, namely that history was soemthing transitory, the rise and fall of empires. Empires pass away, only the eternal Civitas Dei ( the 'citizenry of God', as Ratzinger translates) lasts forever. Its sacramental expression is the church, understood as humanity in the process of redemption. Joachim proposed an exciting new concept of all of world history as a divine progression within three distinct eras, that of the Father (the Old Testament, or the period of the laity or patriarchs), that of the Son (the church since the New Testament, or the period of the clerics), and a third era, that of the Holy Spirit, the period of the ascetic monks, or Spirituals, which was about to begin. In the third period, all structures (church and state) would give way to the perfect society of autonomous men moved only from within by the Spirit. This understanding of history is based on waht Voegelin c alls "the immanentization of the eschaton," in other words, the assumption that the end of history is immanent to itself, an inner-worldly manifestation, the product of its own inner movement toward ever greater perfection, the Kingdom of God on earth within history. It is at the root of what we mean today by "progress". It underpins, albeit in different ways, both radical socialism and liberal capitalism. And it has had a profound effect on political life, giving rise to both revolution and secularism. Bonaventure, according to Ratzinger, failed in his critique; it was not radical enough. But what is significant for Ratzinger's future engagement with political thought is that his sensitivity to the philosophical and theological issues underlying contemporary political life had been fine-tuned by his study of Bonavneture. This is seen in particular in his latter treatment of the radical forms of liberation theology on a Marxist notion of history that has its deepest roots in the speculation of Joachim of Fiore.

Feb 21, 2006] In a beautiful green valley Where wild flowers grow Comes the first blanketing of winter's snow The clouds up above float luxuriously by As I lay and stare at the wonderous sky I can hear the wind whisper thru the trees And smell the crisp air in the gentle breeze I can not touch or feel The feeling is slightly surreal I cast my eyes down To see what lays ahead It is then that I realize that I am dead My body is draped in a long black dress My skin is absolutely colourless It's a frightening feeling I must confess I can hear the priest saying a few kind words And in the background the beautiful harmony of birds Sniffles and sobs reach my ears I guess I didn't make it to my golden years My eyes survey the group gathered round A tear in the eye of each could be found It is then that I see my only boy And my love for him shines with so much joy Suddenly a sadness fills me where once I was glad As I realize I will never again kiss that sweet lad He's saying goodbye And I must too I just don't know if I have the strength to do A soft voice calls to me from above "Come home my child", it says with love "Come home and be free, Come and live with me" I yearn to drift into that heavenly grace But I can't bear the look on my child's lonely face I drift just a little above And turn to look back with sadness and love Be good my son, be happy and carefree Don't cry or remain sad, think of me and be glad I will be waiting for you at heaven's gate There I will sit and patiently wait And when your work here is done I will welcome you home Then you and I will never be alone I know that he can't hear the words in my head For I know I am really and truly dead A gentle hand touches my arm I know that it is time to go And so I walk toward the heavenly glow Leaving no footprints in the brand new snow Copyright 2006 Bernadette Langer on lunisolar calendar on lunisolar calendar, it says everyday is a poetry day dancing into the night as a loving duet... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in Attrition I like this page on Attrition. but not that one.

Everything in this story seemed as if it was real to life, from the main characters, to the Chinese people, their culture, the civil conflict going on at the time, and to the American military presence there trying to maintain some sort of influence while trying to maintain neutrality. The film adaptation was well done and brought the elements from the story to life for the big screen with a gritty realism. Although details are always lost from a book when adaptated into a film, it's still good nonetheless. Steve McQueen portrays a lone maverick, who proves that no actor could out do him in the cool department, is assigned to an American navy gunboat patroling the Yangtze River in 1920's China during a time of civil upheaval. While the crew seems to have it made with their Chinese servant coolies doing most of the work for them, good things never seem to last and conflict arises for the Capt. and crew when the Capt. decides upon a rogue course to save some American missionaries from possible harm in the interior of China. Very good production values, with McQueen's character well developed. An involving plot that draws in the viewer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in OO PHP OO PHP what it stands for?

All I do at piling stone on stone apart from you is roofless around nothing. Till we kiss I am no more than upright and unset. It is by falling in and in we make the all-bearing point, for one another's sake, in faultless falling, raised by our own weight. audio holyghost Looking for re-write of this poem in the vein of: Most Like an Archbishop This gay Marriage: Most like an archbishop -an entrance which upholds and shores the finger-pointing up the air like farce. Mass made idea, and idea held in place. A lock of time. Inside Supreme Court unfolds. you can always lean on me at nowhere Neither Here nor There In that land all Is and nothing's Ought; No owners or notices, only birds; No walls anywhere, only lean wire of words Worming brokenly out from eaten thought; No oats growing, only andle-lace grass Easing and not resenting the feet that pass; No enormous beasts, only names of name; No bones made, bans laid, or boons expected, No contracts, entails, hereditaments, Anything at all that might tie or hem. In that land all's lackadaisical; No lakes of coddled spawn, and no locked ponds Of settled purpose, no netted fishes; But only inkling streams and running fronds, Fritillaried with dreams, weedy with wishes; Nor arrogant talk is heard, haggling phrase, But undertones, and hesitance, and haze; On clear days mountains of meaning are seen Humped high on the horizon; no one goes To con their meaning, no one cares or knows. In that land all's flat, indifferent; there Is neither springing house nor hanging tent, No aims are entertained, and nothing is meant, For there are no ends and no trends, no roads, Only follow your nose to anywhere. No one is born there, no one stays or dies, For it is a timeless land, it lies Between the act and the attrition, it Marks off bound from rebound, make from break, tit From tat, also to-day from to-morrow. No Cause there comes to term, but each departs Elsewhere to whelp its deeds, expel its darts; There are no homeconings, of course, no good-byes In that land, neither yearning nor scorning, Though at night there is the smell of morning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in but you've got ruby! ruby's arm is the prettiest..

'Reds' is going to be released on DVD this month. I heard on NPR a special interview last week.

All -isms pale before idealists very much in love with one another at all personal level. Links: Jack Reed & Louis Bryant Reds new age 'communism' The new age 'Communism' is to withhold the fruits of your labor. Instead of spending it right away on the market to whoever can afford it, the new age 'communism' says, you have to wait till another person falls in love with it at the first sight and give you his love of the same kind for it. The new age 'communism' is called 'Libidinal Economy' right out of Karl Marx's german ass by the French Lyotards... It is in accordance with ancient Chinese Tao of Eroticism. Marx said 'all I know is that I am not a Marxist'. UK may be the most advanced socialist society with the stepson of US.

Lyotard this is a follow-up movie 'Angels in America' review i wrote in my comment & the latest scandelous resignation of FL. congress man. Events set my mind unto this book i read a while ago, by J.F. Lyotard 'Libidinal Economy' ( translated by Iain Hamilton Grant) The book "is a philosophical development of the Freudian concept of 'libidinal economy' and one of Lyotard's most important works. In part a response to Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus, it can also be seen as culminating a line of modern thought ranging from de Sade, Nietzsche and Bataille, to Deleuze, Klossowski, Irigaray and Cixous. It is thus important in the context of modern French philosophy, and also in its relevance to contemporary thinking on a broad range of questions, including sexual politics, semiotics and literary studies."

If the ancient Krell had guitar solos, they'd sound like this Susan and I saw Devo perform last night at the Fair Park bandshell in Dallas. It was the first time Devo had played Dallas in 16 years. They only play a few shows a year due to their TV and movie soundtrack work. The Psychadelic Furs (Pretty in Pink and one or two other 80s hits) opened for Devo. An even more obscure, one hit wonder band called When in Rome opened for the Psychadelic Furs. The first band started at 8pm and Devo didn't actually start until about 10:45pm. But they were worth the wait. We got the pre-show briefing from General Boy on the big video screen and then the band marched out in their classic yellow hazmat suits and red energy domes. Quite a few of the audience members were wearing the cheap plastic knockoff energy domes. I'm proud to say I have a real energy dome from the 1980s. (but you don't wear a priceless antique like that to a live show!) Unlike a lot of 80s bands who look tired and old compared to how they looked when they were new, Devo still has it. They play with as much energy as modern punk bands, and they put on a show second to none. The audio clarity was suprisingly good for a live show. A few songs in, about midway through Uncontrollable Urge, Mothersbaugh starting rippping off his own and then the other's hazmat suits, revealing black T-shirts more appropriate to the 100+ degree Texas weather. He hurled their energy domes into the audience. In fact, they seemed to be hurling Devo debris into the audience throughout most of the show. Energy domes, torn pieces of hazmat suits, guitar picks, Devo action figures, hundreds of little bouncy balls of some sort. They played for about two hours and most of the material was from their first two albums; the late 70s, pre-Whip It, pre-new wave stuff with the raw punk-like sound. They played a few songs from Freedom of Choice including, of course, Whip It, which many people identify with the band. They opened with That's Good, the only song they played from one of the later synth-heavy albums. Several of the songs had evolved (devolved?) over the years from the sound on the original recording. Some of the guitar solos were spectacular in that they sounded completely unlike guitar solos one usually hears. True to Devo style, they sounded completely unlike sounds one is accustomed to hearing come from guitars at all. If you've never heard Devo, there are still a few live shows left on this year's tour. Some years they only play one or two live events so if you get the chance, take it. nah. +1 about kitten /nt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in ping! pong! /nt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in osakaphone from transbuddha $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in my sense somehow liked to be 'stealed' instead of stolen it beats me too many times. somehow the sound of 'stealed' prevails in the end. strange sensation. another an entirely different note, I re-discovered this old film script. I remember playing the movie back and forth so i can write down every word of the conversation... -Oh, yes. Your essay on the Holy Sonnet is a melodrama with a veneer of scholarship unworthy of you... to say nothing of Donne. Do it again... -Begin with the text, Miss Bearing, not with a feeling. "Death be not proud Though some have called thee mighty and dreadful, for Thou art not so -You've entirely missed the point of the poem.. because i must say you've used an edition of the text that is inauthentically punctuated. -In the Gardner edition - --That edition was checked out-- -Miss Bearing? --I'm sorry -- -You take this too lightly. This is metaphysical poetry, not the modern novel. The standards of scholarship and critical reading which one would apply to any other text are simply insufficient. The effort must be total for the results to be meaningful. Do you think that the punctuation of the last line of this sonnet is merely an insignificant detail? The sonnet begins with a valiant struggle with death calling on all the forces of intellect and drama to vanquish the enemy. But it is ultimately about overcoming the seemingly insuperable barriers separating life, death and eternal life. In the edition you chose, this profoundly simple meaning is sacrificed to hysterical punctuation. "And Death" capital D... "shall be no more;" semi-colon "Death," captial D, comma... "thou shalt die!", exclamation mark. - If you go in for this sort of thing I suggest you take up Shakespeare. Gardner's edition of the Holy Sonnets returns to the Westmoreland manuscript source of 1610. Not for sentimental reasons, I assure you but because Helen Gardner is a scholar. It reads: "And death shall be no more," comma... "Death thou shalt die." -Nothing but a breath, a comma separates life from life everlasting. Very simple really. With the original punctuation restored, death is no longer something to act out on a stage with exclamation marks. It is a comma. A pause. In this way, the uncompromising way one learns something from the poem, wouldn't you say? Life, death, soul, God...past, present. not insuperable barriers. Not semicolons. Just a comma. --Life, death. I see. I'll go back to the library-- --simple human truth. uncompromising scholarly standards. they're connected. holy brownie? /nt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in THE MOTIVE OF ALL OF IT The motive of all of it was loneliness, All the panic encounters and despair Were bred in fear of the lost night, apart, Outlined by pain, alone.

I don't know his 'confession' about his first 'gay' thing, as it just so happened on his wife's delivering night, is a saving grace as he believed worth marking out to all losers like him. But this much i know, Terry Gross knows Jimmy's score and he himself proved her unspoken judgement is wise and all listeners hear the silencing of her questioning of the unquestionable. NPR 'Fresh air' does bring something fresh out of what really stinks by all known standards. Then, we have our Bush boy, who is all about being a father and a husband and all...But still he pleases no one, especially a Missy Jane Stillwater who wrote in her blog "Can George Bush say under oath, "I never had sex with that man..." What possibly could be more sleazy than having the Clinton/Lewinsky affair shoved in our faces daily from the front page of the New York Times? Suddenly our children were learning new words that they had never heard before. Gross. Now our children are learning even MORE facts of life, thanks to George W. Bush. "Military escort" is taking on a whole new meaning for them. "Mommy, what exactly does a male prostitute do?" http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blbushmonica.htm Here's a photo of George Bush salivating over his "protege" Jeff Gannon, another White House intern. Will George Bush be able to state under oath, "I never had sex with that man...." This Gannon affair is truly sleazy and should probably not even be discussed in public. So why am I dragging all this trash up from the gutter? Because I, as an American citizen, need to know that the kind of behavior that was sanctioned by Bush at Abu Ghraib will no longer be originating in the Oval Office -- or in the Lincoln Bedroom. I want the White House to be a symbol of respect and dignity again. Another lesson I have learned from the Gannon affair is this: Republican leaders are not raising a hue and cry over Jeff Gannon like they did over Lewinsky/Clinton. REPUBLICAN LEADERS are not objecting to homosexual pornography in the White House! But why should they? Judging from their behavior, many of them seem to think it is a good idea. It appears that all too many Republican leaders don't object to homosexuality per se; they only object to gay MARRIAGE. Apparently, they aren't going to be happy until everyone is back in the closet where they "belong" -- just like in the good old days when J. Edgar Hoover dressed up in his pink chiffon tutus. For them, gay marriage is too...normal! In addition, from what I can see, most Republican leaders -- gay or strait -- appear to revel in secrecy, clandestine operations and intrigue. Repubs seem to LOVE intrigue. That's why they invented the CIA, revel in Skull and Bones and hate the Bill of Rights. For them, DEMOCRACY is a bad thing -- and homosexuality only becomes a sin, a crime and an abomination if one steps out of the closet! I myself forgive George Bush. He is a human being under God -- and what he does with his sex life is his business. But shilling for prostitutes and encouraging deviants -- whether in Abu Ghraib or in the White House Press Corps -- has got to stop. ** TO BE gay or NOT TO BE is the grave question of the day. John Donne spake it thus: * The Dampe When I am dead, and Doctors know not why, And my friends curiositie Will have me cut up to survay each part, When they shall finde your Picture in my heart, You thinks a sodaine dampe of love Will through all their senses move, And worke on them as mee, and so preferre Your murder, to the name of Massacre. Poore victories! But if you dare be brave, And pleasure in your conquest have, First kill th'enormous gyant, your Disdaine, And let th'enchantresse Honor, next be slaine, And like a Goth and Vandall rize, Deface Records, and Histories Of your own arts and triumphs over men, And without such advantage kill me then. For I could muster up as well as you My Gyants, and my Witches too, Which are vast Constancy, and Secretnesse, But these I neyther looke for, nor professe, Kill mee as Woman, let mee die As a meere man; doe you but try Your passive valor, and you shall finde than, In that you'have odds enough of any man. John Donne's metaphysics isn't as expressive as this Chinese classic poetry: Dream Lover - ,. ,, , ; ; ;, . ,, ; ; 9;? Most Like an Arch This Marriage by John Ciardi Most like an arch - an entrance which upholds and shores the stone-crush up the air like lace. Mass made idea, and idea held in place. A lock of time. Inside half-heaven unfolds. Most like an arch - two weaknesses that lean into a strength. Two fallings become firm. Two joined abeyances become a term naming the fact that teaches fact to mean. Not quite that? Not much less. World as it is, what's strong and separate falters. All I do at piling stone on stone apart from you is roofless around nothing. Till we kiss I am no more than upright and unset. It is by falling in and in we make the all-bearing point, for one another's sake, in faultless falling, raised by our own weight.

K5 is another group of fantasists who fantasize that they can get rid of MC by their ways of persuasion. The only way out is to take K5 out, sadly but surely, that'll stop MC for his fantasy played out on K5. "It is a common human weakness to wish to make more of our contribution to the world than the world is prepared to acknowledge; it is our fantasy world that allows us to fill this gap. Normally, for most of us at least, this fantasy world of ours stays relatively hidden, and indeed a common criterion of our mental health is the extent to which we are able to keep our fantasies firmly under our watchful control. Yet clearly there are individuals for whom this control is, at best, intermittent; its failure results in behavior that ranges from the merely obnoxious to the clinically psychotic. The man who insists on being taken more seriously than his advantages warrant faills into the former category; the maniac who muders an utter stranger because God - or his neighbor's dog - commanded him to do so belongs to the latter. What is common in such interactions is that the fantasist inevitably treats other people merely as props: there is absolutely no interest in, or even awareness of , others as having wills or minds of their own. The man who bores us with sotries designed to impress us with his importance or his intellect or his bank account cares nothing for us as individuals, for he has already cast us in the role that he wishes us to play: we are there to be impressed by him. Indeed, it is an error even to suggest that he is trying to impress us, for this would assume that he is willing to learn enough about us to discover how best we might be impressed. And no matter what we may be thinking of this recital, it never crosses his mind that we may be utterly failing to play the part expected of us; indeed, it is sometimes astonishing to see how much exertion is required of us in order to bring our own profound lack of interest to the fantasist's attention. ... The very enormity of the required mental adjustment goes a long way toward explaining why it is so seldom made and why it is so often tragically impossible to wean a fantasist from even the most destructive fantasy. Fortunately, the fantasizing individual is normally surrounded by other individuals who are not fantasizing or, at the very least, who are not fantasizing in the same way, and this fact puts some limit on how far most of us can allow our fantasy world to intrude on the precinct of reality. But what happens when it is not an individual who is caught up in his fantasy world but an entire group - a sect, or a people, or even a nation?" Lee Harris ' Civilization and its enemies' anybody here read Lee Harris' 'Civilization and its enemies - the next stage of history'? How do you feel about the book? "Forgetfulness occurs when those who have been long accustomed to civilized order can no longer remember a time in which they had to wonder whether their crops would grow to maturity without being stolen or their children sold into slavery by a victorious foe...They forget that in time of danger, in the face of the enemy, they must trust and confide in each other, or perish...They forget, in short, that there has ever been a category of human experience called the enemy. "That, before 9/11, was what had happened to us. The very concept of the enemy had been banished from our moral and political vocabulary. An enemy was just a friend we hadn't done enough for yet. Or perhaps there had been a misunderstanding ,, or an oversight on our part - something that we could correct... "Our first task is therefore to try to grasp what the concept of the enemy really means. The enemy is someone who is willing to die in order to kill you. And while it is true that the enemy always hates us for a reason, it is his reason, and not ours." no seamtress but i knit a long long time ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in four articles by Lee Harris LeeHarris_AiQaedaFantasyIdeology LeeHarris_TheCosmopolitanIllusion LeeHarris_OriginsOfAmericaBashing LeeHarris_TheFutureOfTradition ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in The Greek way of expressing past and future differ 'The Greek way of expressing past and future differed from ours. We say that the past is behind us and the future is in front of us. To the Greeks, however, the past was before them, because they could plainly see its finished form standing in front of them; it was territory they had passed through and whose terrain they had charted. It was the future that was behind them, sneaking up like a thief in the night, full of dim imaginings and vast uncertainties. Nothing could penetrate the blackness of this unknown future except that rare flash of foresight that the Greeks called sophos, or wisdom. Yet even these flashes of wisdom depended entirely on the capacity to remember what is eternal and unchanging - which is precisely what we have almost completely forgotten.' - from 'Civilization and its Enemies - the next Stage of History' by Lee Harris. 9/11 is an end in itself.

'Graham Ward's book makes clear why theologians should be reading Derrida, and why students of language and discourse should be reading theology. In following the trace of transcendent alterity in language, it wonderfully weaves together Christian theology, Jewish philosophy and Derridean deconstruction. By placing Barth in the tradition of phenomenology - entangling him in what have become, in the work of Levinas and Derrida, its central concerns - Ward has begun to write the theology that Heidegger did not, and perhaps could not have written: the theology that completes the phenomenological project.' - Gerard Loughlin, Lecturer in Religious Studies, Univ. of Newcastle upon Tyne This study offers a new and original analysis of the problem of religious language. Taking as its starting point Karl Barth's doctrine of analogy, it places thsi doctrine within the context of German Sprache and Rede philosophies and reveals the historical links between them and the work of the philosophers Emmanual Levinas and Jacques Derrida. Drawing out the parallels between this work and Barth's insights into the language of theology, it concludes that BArth's doctrine of analogy is a theological reading of Derrida's economy of differance. This important contemporary interpretation of Karl Barth reveals his closenes to postmodern thinking and underlines his relevance to current debates on the language of theology. It will be of interest to those studying both general quesitons of theology and language and the particular relationship between theology and postmodernism. thanks. his other book 'The Art of Biblical Poetry' is also added on my to-read list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in no. who you are are different from what you say ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in In the Begining is the Word...

So the more you speak up, the more their loved one who seek help from you mistake you for the true 'self' that they associate with. We have totally different Philosophy, Michael. Chinese saying is 'what is not there is useful'... Knowledge has its limit. Only love will expand one's universe where knowledge fails. Love is best delivered with understandable silence. Dark Matter Dark Matter by Lawrence Raab [ Scientists at the University of Rome, according to the New York Times, may have finally detected dark matter, the stuff that roughly eighty percent of the universe may be made of ...] Like certain superheroes, particles of dark matter pass through other matter unimpeded. But anti-gravity, scientists explain, "still cannot be expected to reverse the course of a falling apple, or drive an inflating wedge of nothingness between lovers." Which may be why the hero works best alone. Pals and sidekicks can be helpful, but women are too curious, too quick to believe the men they're with must be, at heart, different men. Of course they're right. And the hero is in trouble if he doesn't keep his other self a secret. He wants to be in love, to offer all the confidences a lover should. But he has to save the world, again and again. Thus it seems true that a wedge of nothingness divides the man and the woman, but also that the falling of an apple is irreversible. The hero must expect evil to continue. He cannot afford to be surprised by strangeness. Or ever expect a life in which he could only be himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in apply Dark Matter too (nt) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in i must admit i'm wrong with him cheers! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in Michael, stop entangle yourself with craps here. playing piano, sketching and talking to Bonita all sounds more worthwhile than saving people when they don't really need to be saved from their own insanity or indifference... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in in other words, you write for your own sake i can buy that.

THE TRUTH ABOUT HORACE It is very aggravating To hear the solemn prating Of the fossils who are stating That old Horace was a prude; When we know that with the ladies He was always raising Hades, And with many an escapade his Best production are imbued. There's really not much harm in a Large number of his carmina, But these people find alarm in a Few records of his acts; So they'd squelch the music caloric, And to students sophomoric They'd present as metaphoric What old Horace meant for facts. We have always thought 'em lazy; Now we adjudge 'em crazy! Why, Horace was a daisy That was very much alive! And the wisest of us know him As his Lydia verse show him -- Go read that virile poem -- It is No. 25. He was a very owl, sir, And starting out to prowl, sir. You bet he made Rome howl, sir, Unitl he filled his date; With a massic-laden ditty, And a classic maiden pretty, He painted up the city And Maecenas paid the freight!

So Sancho Panza said, and so say I: And bless him, also, that he didn't keep His great discovery to himself; nor try To make it - as the lucky fellow might -- A close monoply by patent right! Yes - bless the man who first invented sleep ( I really can't avoid the iteration); But blast the man, with curses loud and deep. Whate'er the rascal's name, or age, or station, Who first invented, and went round advising That artificial cut-off -- Early Rising! "Rise with the lark, and with the lark to bed.' Observes some solmn, sentimental owl; Maxism like these are very cheaply said; But, ere you make yourself a fool or fowl, Pray just inquire about his rise and fall, And whether larks have any beds at all! The time for honest folks to be abed Is in the morning, If I reason right; And he who cannot keep his precious head Upon his pillow till it's fairly light, And so enjoy his forty morning winks, Is up to knavery; or else - he drinks! Thosmason, who sung about the "Seasons," said It was a glorious thing to rise in season; But then he said it - lying - in his bed, At ten o'clock A.M. - the very reason He wrote so charmingly. The simple fact is His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice. 'Tis, doubtless, well to be sometimes awake -- Awake to duty, and awake to truth -- But when, alas! a nice review we take Of our best deeds and days, we find, in sooth, The hours that leave the slightest cause to weep Are those we passed in childhood or asleep! 'Tis beautiful to leave the world awhile For the soft visions of the gentle night; And free, at last, from mortal care or guile, To live as only in the angels' sight, In sleep's sweet realm so cozily shut in, Where, at the worst, we only dream of sin! So let us sleep, and give the Maker praise I like the lad who, when his father thought To clip his morning nap by hackneyed phrase Of vagrant worm by early songster caught, Cried, 'Served him right! -- it's not at all surprising; The worm was punished, sir, for early rising!"

Hermann Hesse in Chinese binds you and me (Li Jie) in America from Shanghai separates 'Self' from my love. Remembering Hemann Hesse In Chinese After Dipping Into the Summa Contra Gentiles To truth, it seems to us, life once was nearer, The world ordered, intelligences clearer, Wisdom and knoweldge were not yet divided, They lived far more serenely, many-sided, Those ancients of whom Plato, the Chinese, relate their incandescent verities. whenver we entered the temple of Aquinas, The graceful Summa contra Gentiles, A new world greeted us, sweet, mature, A world of truth clarified and pure. There all seemed lucid, Nature charged with Mind, Man moving from God to Him, as He designed. The Law, in one great formulary bound, Forming a whole, a still unbroken round. But we who belong to his posterity Seem condemned to doubt and irony, To journeys in the wilderness, to strife, Obsessions, and longings for a better life. But if our children's children undergo Such sufferings as ours, they will bestow Praise upon us as blessed and as wise. We will appear transfigured in their eyes, For out of our lives' harsh cacophonies They will hear only fading harmonies, The legends of an anguish often told, The echoes of contentions long grown cold. And those of us who trust ourselves the least, Who doubt and question most, these, it may be Will make their mark upon eternity, And youth will turn to them as to a feast. The time may come when a man who confessed His self-doubts will be ranked among the blessed Who never suffered anguish or knew fear, Whose times were times of glory and good cheer, Who lived like children, simple happy lives. For in us too is part of that Eternal Mind Which through the aeons calls to brothers of its kind: Both you and I will pass, but it survives. ......

My body is draped in a long black dress My skin is absolutely colourless It's a frightening feeling I must confess I can hear the priest saying a few kind words And in the background the beautiful harmony of birds Sniffles and sobs reach my ears I guess I didn't make it to my golden years My eyes survey the group gathered round A tear in the eye of each could be found It is then that I see my only boy And my love for him shines with so much joy Suddenly a sadness fills me Where once I was glad As I realize I will never again kiss that sweet lad He's saying goodbye and so I must too I just don't know if I have the strength to do A soft voice calls to me from above "Come home my child", it says with love "Come home and be free, come and live with me" I yearn to drift into that heavenly grace But I can't bear the look on my child's face I drift just a little above And turn to look back with sadness and love. Be good my son, be happy and carefree Don't cry or remain sad, think of me and be glad I will be waiting for you at heaven's gate There I will sit and patiently wait And when your work here is done I will welcome you home Then you and I will never be alone I know thaht he can't hear the words in my head For I am really and truly dead A gentle hand touches my arm I know that it is time to let go And so I walk toward the heavenly glow Leaving no footprints in the brand new snow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in THE NOVEL HYPERION THE NOVEL HYPERION You walk above in the light, weightless tread a soft floor, blessed genii!

But gods don't speak: they create and destroy worlds while men do the talking. Gods, without words, playing terrifying games. The spirit descends, untying tongues, but it doesn't speak words: it speaks flames. Language, lit by a god is a prophecy of flames and a crash of burnt syllables: meaningless ash. Man's word is the daughter of death. We talk because we are mortal: words are not signs, they are years. Saying what they say, the names we speak say time: they say us, we are the names of time. To talk is human. - Octavio Paz i am afraid writing isn't much useful for enjoying life. at times, it's painful. its main function is to help the writer to think out of the box and then due to a writer's sensitivity, elect himself to act at a better timing than all others can even dream of about acting. Withhold knowledge and transmit it to the right person is much more important than acquiring it and spread it undiscriminatory. Withold knowledge for a better timing is wisdom. Part of the woes of this world is that acquisition of knowledge does not come with much personal struggle at all. When knowledge is packed as ready to eat meal, it only serves to feed vanity and personal pride. knowledge is marketable but wisdom is not precisely because wisdom is to withhold knowledge after acquiring it with some sort of personal struggle. Without struggle, there is no joy of overcome. Pursuit of happiness is to overcome one's own limit witnessed by another human being. Human affection, friendship, love and brotherhood come out naturally when the reach of a threshhold and the timing, and human being are present all are you hear me talking now. yeh. my brother died here are you trying to pretend it has nothing to do with you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in onions have layers how do you sucessfully turn yourself into onion? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in it can't kill itself. hence is bad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti enter K5 via Blastar.in missing and lost but still wanted list you are ready for action and here's my wanted list: roam, tps12, eSolutions, ChiefHoser et al...

I was child, and she was a child -- Tho' her tastes were adult Feejee -- But she loved with a love that was more than love My yearning Cannibalee; With a love that could take me roast or fried Or raw, as the case might be. And that is the reason that long ago, In that island near the sea, I had to turn the tables and eat My ardent Cannibalee -- Not really because I was fond of her, But to check her fondness for me. But the stars never rise but I think of the size Of my hot-potted Cannibalee, And the moon never stares but it brings me nightmares Of my spare-rib Cannibalee; And all the night-tide she is restless inside, Is my still indigestable dinner-belle bride, In her pallid tomb, which is Me, In her solemn sepulcher, Me. - by C.F.

If one can prove $1 == $2 ; where's the value of $n ? Any economical instruments are made legitimate or practical because there is approximations when/where uncertainty is far more presence than certainty. For example on my last commentary: http://www.kuro5hin.org/comments/2015/8/14/63828/6945/1#1 It is self-evident to me that there are only three kinds of procrasti(s) as far as this commentary CAN reach. One would find an existing joint who offers cheaper name registration so he directs me to there and receives diff as a reward. End of the story. The other kind of procrasti, given my proposition, and is well positioned to run his own internet company, CAN afford to say, why don't I give my customer half of that diff on credit, but park your sites at my company for 10 years? Sure, I am a bit pricey but that is how you pay for privacy protection. This is about branding and commitment! can't care less and can't care more The existential reasons of for-profit companies is because when one see as a danger or risk, others see as fun or worthwhile.

A while ago, Uche Ogbuji posted a benchmark proposal that would read in a 3MB XML version of the Old Testament of the Bible and look for the word begat in all verses. Apparently, it is contained in 120 out of almost 24000 verses. This is easy to implement in ElementTree using findall(). However, the fastest and most memory friendly way to do this is obviously iterparse(), as most of the data is not of any interest. Now, Uche's original proposal was more or less the following: ... he offered 5 different methods of parsing OT for 'begat' Then come up with this conclusion: This implements the same thing, just without the overhead of parsing and evaluating a path expression. And this makes it another bit faster, down to 0.11 seconds. For comparison, cElementTree runs this version in 0.17 seconds. So, what have we learned? Python code is not slow. The pure XPath solution was not even as fast as the first shot Python implementation. In general, a few more lines in Python make things more readable, which is much more important than the last 5% of performance. It's important to know the available options - and it's worth starting with the most simple one. In this case, a programmer would then probably have started with getiterator("v") or iterparse(). Either of them would already have been the most efficient, depending on which library is used. It's important to know your tool. lxml and cElementTree are both very fast libraries, but they do not have the same performance characteristics. The fastest solution in one library can be comparatively slow in the other. If you optimise, optimise for the specific target platform. It's not always worth optimising. After all that hassle we got from 0.12 seconds for the initial implementation to 0.11 seconds. Switching over to cElementTree and writing an iterparse() based version would have given us 0.10 seconds - not a big difference for 3MB of XML. Take care what operation is really dominating in your use case. If we split up the operations, we can see that lxml is slightly slower than cElementTree on parse() (both about 0.06 seconds), but more visibly slower on iterparse(): 0.07 versus 0.10 seconds. However, tree iteration in lxml is increadibly fast, so it can be better to parse the whole tree and then iterate over it rather than using iterparse() to do both in one step. Or, you can just wait for the lxml developers to optimise iterparse in one of the next releases... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair tried R programming also send a classic copy of S programming to Shanghai office. installed macport and lxml but this import html5lib fails... http://lxml.de/html5parser.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair but web server is stateless Doesn't that imply that all of its responses are independent from each other and from server itself?

We can model this by saying that the semantics of a question is given by: 1. A recognition criterion distinguishing the significant responses from the possible replies; 2. A recognition criterion identifying which responses are answers; and 3. A significance function which transforms responses into propositions. Constituent questions are especially interesting from the point of view of semantics because they very nicely expose issues about individuals. In this case an answer will consist of, or provide, a mode of presentation. However it cannot consist of just any mode of presentation, since the question specifies a mode of presentation. So part of the criterion of being an answer must involve a novelty condition on modes of presentation. Conjecture: For a simple consituent question, a response is an answer if it provides the mode of presentation of the appropriate categorial type, its signifincance states that the presented object satisfies the requisite condition, and the mode of presentation is novel to the context. souce: http://www.textproof.com/talk/dgfs00questions-handout.pdf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair comment ? http://www.textproof.com/talk/dgfs00questions-handout.pdf http://advogato.org/person/chalst/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair twitter captured crime doesn't pay... does that mean my job is a crime? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair hi trane why don't you work for my company?

"I don't agree," said W.E.B. "If I should have the drive to seek Knowledge of chemistry or Greek, I'll do it.

"It seems to me," said Booker T., "That all you folks have missed the boat Who shout about the right to vote, And spend vain days and sleepless nights In uproar over civil rights. Just keep your mouths shut, do not grouse, But work, and save, and buy a house." "I don't agree," said W.E.B. "For what can property avail If dignity and justice fail? Unless you help to make the laws, They'll steal your house with trumped-up clause. A rope's as tight, a fire as hot, No matter how much cash you've got.

Oracle Brings in New Trial Team for Googacle Do-Over Bicks and Hurst take on the lead for Oracle following a dramatic turnaround on appeal orchestrated by Orrick's E. Joshua Rosenkranz. Rosenkranz persuaded the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to reverse Alsup's posttrial finding that Oracle's Java application programming interfaces weren't copyrightable. Deborah Hellinger, a spokesperson for Oracle, confirmed earlier in the week that Orrick, which didn't represent the company in the prior trial, will be lead counsel this time around. "Boies Schiller remains a part of the trial team, and MoFo also will continue to assist the team as needed," Hellinger said in an email. Google, meanwhile, has stuck with a team headed by Keker & Van Nest's Robert Van Nest, who served as lead counsel in the prior trial and argued for the company at Federal Circuit. Late in Thursday's hearing, Alsup asked both sides whether he should send the case back to mediation before Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal, who oversaw a prior round of mediation between the parties prior to the first trial. Grewal concluded at the time that "some cases need to be tried" and that this dispute was one of them. A later mediation session with the Federal Circuit's chief mediator was also unsuccessful. Orrick's Bicks told Alsup he didn't see much point in trying mediation since Oracle's case has been bolstered on appeal. "We've got a finding of copyright infringement and a market full of stuff with our property in it" since the number of Android devices has exploded, Bicks said. But Alsup said he thinks it's a "perfect" time to settle. Much of what the sides fought over in the first trial was decided definitively by the Federal Circuit, Alsup said. Settlement, the judge continued, seemed sensible since both sides are set to spend "millions and millions" on the retrial. Said Alsup, "I'm going to refer you to Judge Grewal, whether you like it or not."

I applied to Semphonic via Craigslist with my resume and the cover letter below: May 29th, 2008 Dear Semphonic Team, I am interested in applying to the Quantitative Web Analyst position with Semphonic in Boston, MA. After finding the position on Craigslist and researching your company and web analytics, I feel my skills and experience are a good fit for the position. For the last year I have worked for Urix, Inc., a health care analytic company that provides business intelligence, reporting, and predictive modeling applications for health plans, provider health organizations and self-insured groups. In my tenure as a business analyst with Urix, Inc. I have faced analytical situations that have tested my quantitative ability on a daily basis. I've taken the strong analytical foundation that I built as an economics major at Colby College and applied my skills on the analysis of complex healthcare data. My position has allowed me to become highly proficient using Microsoft Excel and ProClarity to manipulate, analyze, and report on data. I also have a working knowledge of SQL Server for mining data and multidimensional query language (MDX) for querying and reporting. I've been responsible for translating complex data into concise graphical presentations using Adobe Illustrator. Along with Urix's co-founder, I presented a claims based analysis of the cost, utilization, demographic profiles and strategies to manage the diabetic population of a 50,000 member self-insured group. As the analysis progressed, we presented to several large provider groups in hopes of creating actionable incentives to better manage the group's diabetics and provide better more affordable care. My current position has helped refine my analytical skills and provided an entrepreneurial environment where hard work and ideas are valued from every level of the organization. I hope to find a similar culture at Semphonic. It has also opened my eyes to the future of web based software applications. I am interested in working hard to understand how web use and behavior will continue to transform in the future. Semphonic is at the forefront of measuring web interactions quantitatively and creating optimization strategies. Web analytics is a cutting edge field that I am highly interested in getting into. My strong academic background combined with my work experience has prepared me to be an ideal candidate for the Quantitative Web Analyst position with Semphonic. My ability to analyze and understand complex healthcare issues demonstrates that I have the ability to apply my academic foundation to business questions and deliver effective solutions. I am confident that I can learn the intricacies of web analytics and look forward to the challenge. I look forward to hearing from you.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A former information technology employee of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati was sentenced to two years in prison for insider trading on Wednesday. He is the second employee of the firm to be convicted of insider trading. Dimitry Braverman, who worked in Wilson Sonsini's Palo Alto office, was convicted of making illegal trades worth over $300,000 between 2010 and 2013. He traded in companies the firm was advising in transactions and prosecutors in the Southern District of New York said he acted on information he obtained through his access to the firm's database system. Braverman pleaded guilty, and his attorneys requested private confinement in his San Mateo home. But U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer disagreed, saying home confinement was too light a sentence for someone who had repeatedly made illegal trades over a prolonged period. But Braverman fared better than the last Wilson Sonsini employee put in the clink for fraud on the market. Matthew Kluger, a former associate in the firm's Washington office, pleaded guilty to participating in a $37 million scheme. He was disbarred and sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2012. Braverman maintained and designed software for Wilson Sonsini's finance functions. According to the criminal complaint, he had access to new matters, conflict check data, billing and other sources of confidential information on the firm's clients. Braverman was convicted of obtaining the firm's electronic information about eight impending deals in which Wilson Sonsini represented a party. He purchased stock and stock options before the deal announcements, then sold his stock or exercised his options shortly after the deals were announced. Braverman also faces an SEC civil suit over his trades. . A spokeswoman for Wilson Sonsini did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday afternoon.

Hugh Roberts claims that attempts to find a peaceful resolution to the Syrian conflict have been blocked by the intransigence of the Syrian opposition and their insistence that `Assad must go' (LRB, 16 July). But the account of Syrian peace initiatives that he offers in support of this contention is a very partial one. Before Geneva II there was the `six-point plan' launched by Kofi Annan in March 2012, to which the Assad regime agreed. However, over the following two months the regime failed to fulfil a single one of its obligations. Point 3 called for the entry of humanitarian assistance to areas affected by the fighting, but Homs old town remained under siege for the next two years; Point 4 provided for the release of political prisoners, but the journalist Mazen Darwish remains in prison today; crucially, Point 2 called for an end to the use of heavy weapons against civilian populations, but in the course of the `ceasefire' nearly seven hundred civilians were killed by regime shelling. Annan's efforts came to a de facto end on 25 May when regime militias butchered more than a hundred civilians, including 49 children, in the `Houla massacre'. Kofi Annan's resignation statement left little doubt about where the principal responsibility for the failure of his mission lay: `The bloodshed continues, most of all because of the Syrian government's intransigence and continuing refusal to implement the six-point plan, and also because of the escalating military campaign of the opposition.' Geneva II followed a similar pattern. When Lakhdar Brahimi tried to move the discussion on to `confidence building' measures on the second day of the talks, the opposition put forward concrete proposals for lifting sieges and release of detainees (including quid pro quo measures) and provided a list of detainees in custody. Bouthaina Shaaban, Assad's close confidant and delegation member, batted such issues away: `The other side came here to discuss a small problem here or there ... We did not come here to bring relief to a region here or a region there. We came here to restore safety and security to our country.' On 9 February 2014 the opposition delegation put forward a detailed plan for political transition, in the spirit of the Geneva Communiqu, and with no preconditions concerning Assad. The government delegation refused to discuss it. While this `peace process' was going on the regime stepped up its military operations - killing nearly 2200 civilians, 1400 of them in artillery and aerial bombardments, over 24 days. So who emerges as the `intransigent' protagonist from this sorry tale? The simple truth is that the Assad regime will never entertain any form of `transition' that diminishes its power. To suggest otherwise is to defy fact and logic.

A few of those involved - mainly the gangsters - eventually stood trial and went to jail.

The third experiment involves the categorisation of questions in six question types in the TREC dataset (Li and Roth, 2002). The network matches the accuracy of other state-of-theart methods that are based on large sets of engineered features and hand-coded knowledge resources. The fourth experiment involves predicting the sentiment of Twitter posts using distant supervision (Go et al., 2009). The network is trained on 1.6 million tweets labelled automatically according to the emoticon that occurs in them. On the hand-labelled test set, the network achieves a greater than 25% reduction in the prediction error with respect to the strongest unigram and bigram baseline reported in Go et al. (2009).

I didn't know THAT : From EPISCOPACY Lutheran-United Methodist Dalogue II Edited by Jack M. Tuell and Roger W. Fjeld p14. 7. Lutheran and Methodist understandings of episcopacy are colored by our respective histories. Both movements encountered resistance from bishops in their initial attempts to carry out their mission. Both Methodists and Lutherans finally faced a situation in which the only choice they could see was between remaining obedient to episcopal leadership and remaining true to their mission in the gospel. In each case, the latter option was chosen. Our relation to episcopal leadership has been an ecumenical difficulty for both of our churches ever since. Within our own churches, however, episcopal leadership, under a variety of titles, has been respected and valued. Out of our histories and theological reflection we offer this common statement in the continuing endeavor to clarify our own mind and practice, to deepen understanding between our traditions, and to further discussion in the wider Church that seeks to serve the God who makes all one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair labels, hash tags, voting rights etc... ...

Unfortunately, however, leaders spend their scarce financial capital much more carefully than they do their precious leadership capital. Because the financial capital budgeting process is competitive, a great deal of thought is put into decisions about how to allocate funds. Compared to the budgeting process, the way that leaders decide how to invest their time and energy in their teams can seem arbitrary. Some leaders spread it evenly across their team members to achieve equality. By using this approach, leaders can avoid being seen as "playing favorites." But spreading your leadership capital this way isn't strategic. Some leaders allocate their leadership capital by giving more to the loudest requestors. This method is all about achieving peace - the "reactive" approach. Instead of proactively determining where to invest their time and energy, they distribute it on a first come, first served basis. Leaders may allocate their leadership capital where it's easiest to do so - the "path of least resistance" approach. In this case, leaders find it easier to work with certain team members than others. This approach minimizes their stress by limiting their interactions with more difficult team members. That approach is risky. Not only will other team members feel their leader is playing favorites, but the leader isn't getting the return they should for their leadership capital investment. The person who is fun to work with might be the lowest performer on the team. These three approaches have benefits, but they're not likely to be the best way to get the most efficient and effective output from the entire team. source: http://smartblogs.com/leadership/2015/07/17/how-you-can-spend-less-time-and-be-a -more-effective-leader/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair indictment http://www.dailyreportonline.com/id=1202732796070/ExDeputy-Indicted-Over-Informa tion-That-Led-to-Stun-Grenade-Injury-of-Child ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair test g+ embed <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script> <div class="g-post" data-href="https://plus.google.com/+%E5%BC%B5%E4%B8%89%E4%B8%80%E8%A8%808964/posts/iaatVk9bwRx"></div> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair test mlp in cn http://penglairen.org/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair I don't understand... I don't understand the academic theft part, do you? yokomarikawa Thesis theft troubles elderly care pioneer The perils of leading the pack ----An Interview With Yoko Marikawa /By Global Times source: http://www.globaltimes.cn/www/english/features/metroshanghai/culture/2010-08/561 264.html 2010-8-9 Five years ago, people jokingly called her a "missionary" for spreading Japanese methods of caring for the elderly to China. Five years later, after carving out a place in that market, Yoko Marikawa has seen interest in her business drop off. Around the same time, the confidential Master's thesis she wrote that laid out her business model has recently popped up on an Internet site that sells access to academic publications. "Since July, my company has become quiet. It is very strange. We had been getting a lot of inquiries. But now things have stopped," Marikawa said. She believes the leak of her thesis has damaged her business, though she said exact losses are difficult to estimate. "I may have to take legal action on this matter," she added. Like many pioneers, Marikawa did the work to cut a path to a new opportunity, only to find herself in danger of losing her advantage to copycats who might take advantage of the trail that she has blazed. Inspiration from home Marikawa, a Japanese woman in her 30s, is one of the first entrepreneurs in China to promote the industrialization of elderly care, which she calls the "silver industry." In 2009, Marikawa started a consultancy specializing in how companies can capitalize on this industry. She sees her company as a bridge that carries comparatively advanced theories of elderly care from Japan to China. For Marikawa, thinking about caring for the elderly came as naturally as taking a shower every day. Since she was a child, schools in Japan would organize children to visit retirement homes. As she got older, she volunteered for different committees that researched elderly care. A large proportion of Japan's population is elderly so the Japanese government pays close attention to this demographic when making political decisions, Marikawa said. In Japan, there are many committees all over the country that help the government collect data on the elderly so it can make policy. Although Japan's system is comparatively far more mature than the system in China, it is still not perfect. "I wish I could help build up a better system to help the elderly, and it doesn't matter whether it is the elderly in Japan or the elderly in China," Marikawa said. Marikawa first came to Shanghai in 2004. Out of curiosity, she visited some of the public retirement homes in Shanghai and found that elderly care in China was very much where Japan's was about 20 years ago, a time when the elderly were considered little more than a burden on the government, rather than a business opportunity. "It is an ignored market. These people cannot buy products they need even if they have the money," she said. Seeing an opportunity, Marikawa chose the elderly as her targeted research group while she was studying for a Master's of Business Administration at Fudan University. In total, Marikawa spent 10 years researching elderly care in Ja-pan and China. This research not only made up the guts of her Master's thesis, but the foundation of her company. Academic theft from Fudan, Marikawa found that her thesis was being sold on cnki.net, a website that sells access to academic papers, without her permission. It was surprising considering that she had signed a 10-year contract with the university to ensure that her intellectual property remained confidential. But on July 27, Marikawa said she found her thesis was for sale on the site. Determined to figure out how her paper was leaked, she shot off an e-mail to Fudan's Executive MBA program. On July 28, Xu Jianrong, the executive director of the university's Executive MBA program responded, explaining they had already asked the website to stop selling the paper and the website verbally agreed. However, as of publication, the thesis is still up for sale on cnki.net. On August 6, Xu told Marikawa that an internal investigation determined that there was no evidence that the Executive MBA program leaked Marikawa's thesis. "I am shocked," Marikawa said. "This is Fudan. It is not just any university. I trusted Fudan," she said. Marikawa believes that Xu is just trying to sidestep the problem. "He said it has nothing to do with the Executive MBA program. Then what about Fudan? He did not say it has nothing to do with Fudan. Doesn't it seem like a game of football? They are just kicking the ball around." Though angry and disappointed about what happened, Marikawa is still optimistic about her company and the Chinese market. The aging population in China is growing rapidly. By the end of 2020, more than 248 million people in China will be over 60, according to a government report released in 2006. Contrary to the growing population, the "silver" industry remains in its infancy. Besides seeing the prospects of the market, Marikawa believes her largest clients will not abandon her just because they can download her thesis from the Internet. Marikawa still finds the theft of her thesis unacceptable. Marikawa believes the companies that copied her theories will not succeed in the long term. "They might understand what it is, but they don't know how to use it in a professional way," she said.

These decisions highlight efforts by the appellate courts to reconcile a federal court's "virtually unflagging obligation" to exercise the jurisdiction Congress has granted by statute with the need for finality in bankruptcy reorganization plans, and suggest that the balance may be tipping in favor of exercising jurisdiction. In all three decisions, the courts gave teeth to the equity component of the analysis by making clear that the reviewing court must engage in an analysis of the equities of the case and that the failure of the would-be appellant to obtain a stay and the appellee's substantial consummation of a reorganization plan by themselves are not enough to invoke the equitable mootness doctrine. The Tenth Circuit went even further and required the district court to take "a quick look at the merits" to consider whether the appellant's challenge is legally meritorious or equitably compelling. To the extent these decisions suggest a trend of favoring review of confirmation orders over abstention, plan proponents should be prepared to defend confirmation orders on appeal even when their plans have been substantially consummated. In addition, the possibility of review and reversal on appeal makes it all the more important for plan proponents to try to build consensus and to make their best effort to settle disputes before confirmation in order to avoid the risk associated with reversal of a substantially consummated plan. Indeed, if a higher likelihood of review exists, objecting parties may find themselves with more leverage in confirmation disputes. ------------------------------------- Michael Sirota of Cole, Schotz in Hackensack, who represented One2One, called the ruling "a huge change" in which the court "appears to be dramatically narrowing application of the mootness doctrine." Sirota noted that the equitable mootness doctrine was the subject of seven published opinions in the Third Circuit after Continental, and every other federal judicial circuit has adopted the doctrine in some form, but the appeals court found that Linares abused his discretion by applying the doctrine. "How would the district court know that the circuit was questioning the very constitutionality of a doctrine that has been part of the circuit precedent since 1996?" Sirota said. Courtney Schael of Ashford Schael in Union and Timothy Nixon of Godfrey & Kahn in Green Bay, Wisconsin, representing Quad/Graphics, said they were not authorized by their client to discuss the case.

LaBeouf's look-at-me Internet penance ritual had become an actual moment between actual people."[75] The following November, in an email interview with Dazed Digital, LaBeouf said that a woman "stripped [his] clothing and proceeded to rape [him]" during the February performance. The Guardian and Time both suggested that #IAMSORRY bore a resemblance to Marina Abramovi's The Artist is Present,[73][79] although Abramovi herself stated that "this is not the same work", commenting that LaBeouf's performance was "a pretty strong statement" and that she found it very interesting "that the Hollywood world wanted to go back to performance... to be connected to [the] direct public, which, you know, being a Hollywood actor doesn't permit you".[80] James Franco also voiced his support of LaBeouf, writing a New York Times article in which he called LaBeouf's project "a worthy one", describing it as a piece "in which a young man in a very public profession tries to reclaim his public persona".[81] During LaBeouf's performance, Jerry O'Connell parodied the project by opening his own art installation, #IAMSORRYTOO, right next door to the gallery in a stunt for the comedy video website Funny or Die.[82] LaBeouf said that a woman "stripped [his] clothing and proceeded to rape [him]" during the February performance. how does he know it's a 'woman', not MDC on drag ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair i think that... you are begging for a hammer... but rusty no longer care about you, per se... so thare. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair i remember now why rusty killed badvogato he copied and posted an infinite loop code, so whoever clicks it, has to close browser to get out of it... ha! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair random Is randomness a curse or a blessing? http://twistedsifter.com/2014/07/thrift-store-painting-remixes-by-david-irvine/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair why is democracy better than theocracy ? $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair i see ... make perfect sense in gay union $ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair and k31's best man Central Tibetan Administration[edit] The Central Tibetan Administration, colloquially known as the Tibetan government in exile, is a Tibetan exile organisation with a state-like internal structure. According to its charter, the position of head of state of the Central Tibetan Administration belongs ex officio to the current Dalai Lama, a religious hierarch. In this respect, it continues the traditions of the former government of Tibet, which was ruled by the Dalai Lamas and their ministers, with a specific role reserved for a class of monk officials. On March 14, 2011, at the 14th Dalai Lama's suggestion, the parliament of the Central Tibetan Administration began considering a proposal to remove the Dalai Lama's role as head of state in favor of an elected leader. The first directly elected Kaln Tripa was Samdhong Rinpoche, who was elected August 20, 2001.[21] Before 2011, the Kaln Tripa position was subordinate to the 14th Dalai Lama[22] who presided over the government in exile from its founding.[23] In August of that year, Lobsang Sangay polled 55 per cent votes out of 49,189, defeating his nearest rival Tethong Tenzin Namgyal by 8,646 votes,[citation needed] becoming the second popularly-elected Kalon Tripa. The Dalai Lama announced that his political authority would be transferred to Sangay.[24] Change to Sikyong[edit] On September 20, 2012, the 15th Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile unanimously voted to change the title of Kaln Tripa to Sikyong in Article 19 of the Charter of the Tibetans in exile and relevant articles.[25] The Dalai Lama had previously referred to the Kalon Tripa as Sikyong, and this usage was cited as the primary justification for the name change. According to Tibetan Review, "Sikyong" translates to "political leader", as distinct from "spiritual leader".[26] Foreign affairs Kalon Dicki Chhoyang stated that the term "Sikyong" has had a precedent dating back to the 7th Dalai Lama, and that the name change "ensures historical continuity and legitimacy of the traditional leadership from the fifth Dalai Lama".[27] The online Dharma Dictionary translates sikyong (srid skyong) as "secular ruler; regime, regent."[28] The title sikyong had previously been used by regents who ruled Tibet during the Dalai Lama's minority. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair and she was fond of dogs of snow it's all in the name, man. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair the feelings of two magnets http://lesswrong.com/lw/99c/transcript_richard_feynman_on_why_questions/ I vote for new admin regime composed of trane+mirko ... that'll do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair Jesus and Jesusa JESUS AND JESUSA is a utopian novella about the cloning of the foreskin of Jesus of Nazareth to create an identical brother and sister, Jesus and Jesusa. They were born in Italia on May 30, 2014 as Jesus and Jesusa Prescelto to parents Guiseppe and Maria Prescelto who had undergone fertility treatments. While in college, Jesus and Jesusa led a march along the Great Wall of China which culminated in the last stage of the global abolition of the death penalty. Later, they led an international humanist organization, and then became Co-Popes of the Roman Catholic Church. As Co-Popes, they transformed the Church into a humanist organization dedicated to saving humanity and the Earth, and discarded most of the myths about Christianity. Implemented in 2026, the mundo was the Single Global Currency of the world. During their lives, the world underwent a Great Transformation to focus on saving the Earth as a healthy planet for humans and all other species. Global warming began the slow process of reversal to pre-Industrial Revolution conditions. The human population peaked at slightly more than 8.5 billion, before beginning its long decline to an equilibrium number between 1-2 billion. Jesus and Jesusa worked to find common ground among the religions of the world, including atheists and humanists. They supported the campaign against wrongful convictions, including a person convicted of a crime against them. They died on May 30, 2089, their 75th birthday. JESUS AND JESUSA is a companion book to 2121, which is a utopian novel set in the period ending in 2121. It describes the effects on the world of the publication of Jesus and Jesusa in 2014. The book, 2121, will be published later in 2014. They can be read separately or together, with JESUS AND JESUSA recommended to be read first.

Once a spark of spirit entered into a living thing, it worships not himself nor his mate nor his offsprings nor his surroundings but a divine power above all realized things, man was then on its way into becoming the human kind.

My story is briefly described in a couple of diary entries at bbs.tastytronic.net/person/nuniabiz: 21 Mar, 23 Mar, 24 Mar. Now i am overflow with joy. I've been dancing with music in my house alone. writing emails. thinking about how to spread this happiness around. and all things i can do for my neighbors in towns and communities where i live and worked for 4 years yet i remained an outsider from the very beginning due to my own limitation and fear of being misunderstood. The rejection i felt at the other online community and here (rusty i still don't have right to post my own diary but can only reply to others which actually works good for me so that i won't over concern myself and reading others plight and joy and thank God for what HE puts us through.<p> i sensed your anger long before. i can never understood it because you seem to be such a talented person. i didn't know that you are a black. my husband used to drive tow truck in Seattle's black part of the town. He is a third generation white Russian but i conside him more black than Chinese or Black American. He is the last Mohegans who is trying to save man's dignity and his own by offering companionship to women and men boatfools like himself even at the cost of breaking up his own relationship with a wife who provides the income for the family and daycare cost of their two year old son and mortgage of the house and three cars insurance. At times, i am so over stressed by insecurity both culturewise and financial wise. But i am forever grateful for an authoritarian disciplined education i received at my home country China and freedom/struggle i witnessed through my highschool drop-out Amercian husband but extremely intelligent and his four most sensible and brave children from his last marriage. Happiness is from within not without. Happiness is to look up to the Creator of all things and imagine to create one's own sense of grace and dignity without relying on charity and sympathy of your fellowmen. Literacy is important as long as it doesn't strip away the natural joy and goodness a person can come up all on his own for his fellow playmate and on a good shining day just like two-year-old children who don't have command in language yet they can play well and happy given any kind of playground with only implied rule of safety and parents watchful eyes but with no fear and restriction in their own perception of the world outside their tender and feeble bodies.<p> let me get back on the <a href="http://nunzilla.allthingsgo.us/article/0.html"> book of Philippians</a> is JOY. It is from a study guide i picked up at local library. I rewrite it with hidden links to those real people who i have the honor to dine with them without their liking no not. And two accounts have been locked by sysadmin there. Yet without that struggle, i wouldn't have the urge to finally setup my own virgule machine and offer it to local community bible study group as a future plan i have in mind now.<p> Life is joy but i have lost a friend last July. She hanged herself in her house with over $140,000 savings in her bank account and two rental appartment. She has a master degree in computer science and have worked for many years as Oracle SQL programming consultant. Yet she is extremely unhappy inside. I could have only wished that i had more experience and insight to guide her out of the depression and loss she felt when her youthful charm no longer gave her enough confidence and easyness to face the world of all occupied men without compassion and love of the last Mohengan, like my husband. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair life and death i remember someone said to write a person biography, we have to start from his death and rewinding from there. for a living person, this can also be done. people sometimes have clear vision of their own fate.

That English professor killed himself too. Yet Julia was so lively everytime i contact her. She's the one making all kinds of jokes. What a spirit! I believe it is because our lives lack that spark of spirit for her to dwell any longer like a zombie babydoll.

The crucifications of z2 on the cross were hailed for at least half a dozen time buried under crappy titles like "i'm back", "why is this happening again?"... Of course, you have to understand that those craps came out because they beat the shit out of that innocent alien z2. I believe z2 landed on K5 planet, seriously ponders upon this earthly business of K5 posting and made a few serious bids, ( not like the way i used to create my craps). I'd like to imagine that my own masterpiece strucked a chord with z2's alien nature. That's how we launched an tandem attack of the clones on the established K5 planet. They killed z2 and some Simon guy insists that it's me lying in his grave.

Even if the rules are changed to +20/-95. Then, the situation could be worse. There'll be 20% lollipop resellers and 95% thought police.

For those who believed that K5 is pieces of your life, i have advice for thee: Old rules from most established online and offline publishing entities in regards of 'quality control' & 'free press' & 'strong community support' are history lessons to be learned so K5 may break all rules without bringing down the House. It is fair to say -1 vote is too easy to flood than all craps can we do something about that without the need to adjust +95/-20?

Here is my plan for porting colorForth: On pc: modify icon editor create small icons port graphics from assembler to colorForth port editor from assembler to colorForth port colorForth kernel from x86 to ARM port macros create execuable and block image On zaurus: words for stylus ui modifications Post development: optimization documentation This is a rough sketch and subject to change. I'm not sure whether the editor should have a stylus interface, or if it should use the builtin keyboard, or maybe a combination. Practice will dictate the most efficient method of editing programs. I'll probably start out writing for the linux framebuffer, then maybe Qt. Optimization will come latter if necessary, or a good amount of improvement can be made.

The idea of captalism is much more powerful these days through the establishment of stock market, modern machinery and modern science. For any idea which tries to transcend captalist invinsible hand and reaches all human heart, it has to include captalism as one of its own tool instead of rejecting it on the grounds of Unreal principles. i am working on this project "To act blessed" for me is to realize that many others are working on the same idea but we have to get connected despite the fact that we hold different vocations, speak different languages, believe in different religions.

During my visit to doctor's office today, i read a sad story from a newspaper clip on the wall at the clinic. A vietnam American woman, Tu-Anh Pham, who gave birth to a baby girl Vienne at my doctor's hospital, perished on her first day returning to work after 8 weeks maternal leave at World Trade center North Tower on Sept. 11th. Later, i asked my doctor, Dr. Ung, if he knew the woman. "Yes, i saw her a couple of times at the clinic and at the hospital. She and her husband, a novelist, live in Princeton, had undergone treatment from our infertility clinic for 6 years. They even put out a play, starring the mother and the infant baby, at local theatre after the arriving of their daughter Vienne." Today, I have learned one more life and one more family shattered by terrorist attack on Sept. 11, a most tragic and most horrified day that will forever live in Americans' memory. Two days before, i read this article "May God Touch All Of Humanity With His Infinite Grace" by Susan Abulhawa. I am very much touched by it. I wrote to the author and She wrote me back. In her email, i followed this link in her signature. Susan Abulhawa founded Playgrounds for Palestine, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to build playgrounds and recreation areas for Palestinian children living under military occupation. After reading her article A disjointed Intifada , i wrote to another of my friend, "Terrorist attack on Sept 11 is a big tragic day for many American families. Yet violence in Middle East and Afghanistan has been going on for decades. Pumping more funds into our national defense budget, setting up homeland security may be rightfully important on the agenda of our political leaders. But as an individual, i still have to follow my own heart to support dreamweavers like Susan Abulhawa and her project - helping children reclaim their childhood." gregoriy the great He is over 100 days mature now.

I have this feeling, so far so good, that Arundhati Roy is one of my kind. And of course, i like her critics Salil Tripathi's writing as well. marxist socialism vs scientific socialism two people have more say on socialistic government eventhough they all failed in their life-long struggle to establish one of that kind.

His book "The inertia of fear and scientific worldview" has extensive discussion on marxist socialism and scientific socialism that Turchin envisioned himself under development of new cybernetics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair soldiers in Mao's army were mostly peasants Yes, Mao's saying is that the only way to establish a new regime is to equip an army with piles of guns and tons of gun powder.

That's how the communist revolution started in China. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ commentary - For a better sye@K5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ripple me ~~> ~allthingsgo: gateway to Garden of Perfect Brightess in CNY/BTC/LTC/DRK rubbing u ~~> ~procrasti: getaway to HE'LL Hey! at least he was in a stable relationship. - procrasti Enter K5 via my lair
