La Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame è una delle Hall of Fame di wrestling; la sua particolarità è che esiste solo sulla carta, non essendo prevista alcuna cerimonia di introduzione.

A differenza di quanto accade nel baseball o nel basket, nel mondo del wrestling professionistico non esistono Hall of Fame che prevedono che sia un gruppo di esperti del settore (indipendenti dalle organizzazioni) a decidere quali atleti verranno inseriti. In un certo senso questa mancanza veniva colmata dalla WON HOF: tale Hall of Fame è stata infatti creata da Dave Meltzer, redattore di un sito internet riguardante il wrestling tra i più famosi e rispettati, ma pur sempre indipendente. Con la creazione della Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, la WON HOF ha perso parte del suo prestigio, ma resta sempre una realtà tra le più famose.

Nel 1996, Meltzer scelse una gran quantità di nomi da inserire come Classe del 1996. Sin dall'anno successivo i nomi vennero invece determinati attraverso un sondaggio che permetteva di scegliere i più rappresentativi tra addetti ai lavori e wrestlers; l'elenco delle scelte era comunque redatto da Meltzer in modo da garantire un'equa rappresentanza per i wrestlers statunitensi, giapponesi e messicani.

2014 has not been kind.
On a cold, snowy day in January, when my husband was in Tokyo, my 10 year old son received a lifelong sentence. It began with a sick visit to the pediatrician followed by another sick visit to a gastroenterologist. As I sat across from this woman, who I disliked as soon as she entered the room, I could not imagine that my son's world was going to permanently change. After a brief examination and a denial of all symptoms from which she was sure he was suffering, she stoically pronounced "he has Crohn's," which only made me hate her more than I already did. She prescribed antibiotics and advised that he would need to be examined under general anesthesia.
That night, my son slept in my bed. I spent most of the night feeling his forehead, making sure he was still asleep, plotting the death of that emotionless doctor. By the time it was morning, we were on our way to the emergency room. A morphine drip was administered and my son finally relaxed.
An MRI revealed that my son had an abscess which required draining. He remained on the morphine as well as IV antibiotics and by the time the surgery was performed, the abscess was already gone. We were there for several days, during which time every physician assured me that they did not think my son had Crohn's. I assured myself of this as well, right up until the time we were leaving when the discharging doctor looked over his forms and said "I don't see what else it could be aside from Crohn's." And just like that, the rug on which I was solidly standing, was pulled out from under me. Again.
A few weeks later a blood test revealed no inflammation. That horrible doctor was wrong. I knew it. A week after that my son started to complain of stomach pain. A week after that, a stool sample was three times the normal level and I had to offer some begrudging respect to this woman who so casually spoke the words that would change my son's life. By April, a colonoscopy/endoscopy confirmed that she was, in fact, right. She was always right. My son had Crohn's Disease and the tiny thread attached to my heart that came loose in January, started to fully unravel.
I did not want an education about fancy medication, about the physiology of the colon, about colostomies, about therapies offering ways my child can "live with Crohn's." I wanted him to be the person I thought he was, physically, on the morning of that snowy day in January. I wanted to circle the equator over and over like Superman until I reversed time enough to unearth Lois Lane from her car and free my son from a diagnosis I did not want attached to him. I wanted to find a new doctor, one that was a human being, one that would not tell me, when I asked if my child would be ok, that she "can't predict the future." I wanted someone to hold my hand and my heart.
I know that there are worse things in life than Crohn's Disease and that my son will be all right. But we mothers don't want our children to be just "all right." We want them to be perfect. Being a parent is so hard. From skinned knees to bruised egos to diseases about which we want to know nothing. I would love it if I could just kiss this terrible boo boo or apply ice to it, or simply make a wish and watch it fade away until there is nothing left but the perfect body into which he was born. He's learning too much too soon and I hate it. He has a sophisticated medical vocabulary, refers to his pills as "my meds" and is overly concerned about his height and weight. On the other hand, right before a second operation, he gamely dressed up in his gown, sterile shower cap, and held up a book, pretending to be the Statue of Liberty.
So maybe he's doing all right already. And maybe 2014 has been kinder than I thought.

Fears over climate change hit highest level in a decade following heatwave, study says
By 2080, Tropical Diseases Could Be Headed to Alaska
This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
Nearly a billion people could be newly at risk of tropical diseases like dengue fever and Zika as climate change shifts the range of mosquitoes , according to a new study.
Since the life cycle of mosquitoes is temperature sensitive, scientists have long been concerned about how their prevalence might spread as the world continues to warm . The study is one of the first to examine in detail how that might happen by using an overlap of two disease-carrying mosquitoes' range and projected monthly temperature changes under a variety of future warming scenarios.
In the most extreme scenario of more than 4 degrees C (7.2 degrees F) warming by 2080 , certain tropical disease-carrying species of mosquitoes currently found only seasonally in the US South and southern Europe could greatly expand their range, as far north as Alaska and northern Finland—north of the Arctic Circle. That would force a redefinition of the term "tropical" diseases.
The sheer enormity of people who could be exposed gave the lead author pause. "It's rather shocking," said Sadie Ryan, a disease ecologist at the University of Florida's Emerging Pathogens Institute, in an interview with Grist.
In Europe alone, the number of people exposed to the dengue-carrying Aedes egypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes could roughly double within the next 30 years. In currently warm climates like the Caribbean, West Africa, and Southeast Asia, tropical disease incidence could actually decrease as those climates become so warm that they "exceed the upper thermal limits for transmission." In other words: It will be too hot for the mosquitoes to effectively carry dengue.
On the whole, "climate change will dramatically increase the potential for expansion and intensification of Aedes-borne virus transmission," according to the study.
"Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global health," Ryan said. "There are many more vector-borne diseases out there that are temperature sensitive." Ryan also cautioned that mosquitoes, ticks, bark beetles, and invasive fungus threaten animals and plants as well as human health, and climate change is making many of them worse.
Malaria, which was not considered in this study, already affects nearly half of the world's population, according to the World Health Organization, killing more than 400,000 people each year—one of the leading causes of death for children in Africa. Previous studies have shown that hundreds of millions of people could be newly exposed to malaria by the end of the century, which is carried by a different species of mosquito. Dengue is one of the most common tropical diseases, but it is far less deadly than malaria—out of 100 million infections, it causes about 22,000 deaths each year.
According to the work from Ryan and her colleagues, Europe could be hardest hit because it sits on the leading edge of where mosquitoes can now survive. The worst-case scenario that Ryan and her colleagues explore is actually worse than business-as-usual—it's a world where civilization doubles down on fossil fuels and planetary systems cause the world to heat beyond the 3.4 degrees C (6.1 degrees F) currently projected.
Ryan said her results should send a clear message to public health departments to boost their budgets in preparation.
There are countless reasons to be scared of climate change , and invading mosquitos might be one of the most tangible . Still, Ryan points out that it'd probably be among the least of our worries—sea-level rise, food shortages, mass migration, and financial collapse would probably pose a much greater risk to civilization.

John Wiley & Sons, Inc. v. Kirtsaeng – Second Circuit Holds That "First Sale Doctrine" Does Not Apply to Books Manufactured Outside of the United States Posted by:
On August 15, 2011, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided a case of first impression for that Circuit, holding that the Copyright Act's "first sale doctrine" does not apply to books manufactured outside of the United States. The decision could have far-reaching consequences for copyright law in the United States.
The "first sale doctrine" is codified in the Copyright Act, 17 U. S. Code § 109(a), and provides that a person who buys a copyrighted work "lawfully made in the United States", may sell or otherwise dispose of that copy of the work as the person sees fit, without limitations imposed by the copyright holder. This doctrine, which dates back to 1908, applies to a broad spectrum of everyday situations in the United States, from the ordinary re-sale of books and other copyrighted works at a neighborhood yard sale, to the commercial re-sale of numerous types of copyrighted works in larger retail markets.
In John Wiley & Sons, Inc. v. Kirtsaeng, No. 09-4896-cv (2d. Cir. August 15, 2011), the Second Circuit affirmed a district court decision and held that the first sale doctrine does not apply to copyrighted works produced outside of the United States – in this instance, lawfully manufactured textbooks – that are subsequently imported and resold in the United States.
The plaintiff, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ("Wiley"), is an American publisher of academic, scientific and educational journals and books, including textbooks, for sale in domestic and international markets. Wiley relies upon a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Wiley Asia") to manufacture books for sale in foreign countries. The written content of books for the domestic and international markets may be similar or even identical, but the books intended for foreign markets differ from the domestic versions in design, supplemental content (such as accompanying CD-ROM's) and the type and quality of the materials used to print the books. The foreign editions also carry a legend stating that they are to be sold only in a particular country or region.
Defendant Kirtsaeng is an individual who moved to the U. S. in 1997, to pursue a degree in mathematics and then a doctoral degree. To help pay for his education, Kirtsaeng's friends and family shipped him foreign edition textbooks printed abroad by Wiley Asia. He, in turn, sold those books on commercial websites such as eBay.com. From the sales revenue, he reimbursed his friends and family for their costs, and kept any remaining profits for himself.
Wiley filed suit against Kirtsaeng in 2008, alleging, among other things, that he had infringed Wiley's copyrights in the textbooks in question. Wiley relied in part upon 17 U. S. Code § 602(a)(1), that makes unlawful the importation into the U.S., without the authority of the copyright owner, of any copies of a work that have been acquired outside the United States.
Following a trial in 2009, Kirtsaeng was found liable for willful infringement of eight Wiley copyrighted works and for damages of $75,000 for each of the eight works. He appealed, arguing that the district court erred in finding that the "first sale doctrine" was not an available defense.
The Second Circuit rejected Kirtsaeng's argument, holding that Section 602(a)(1)'s ban on infringing imports applied to his importation of the Wiley books. The court also distinguished Kirtsaeng's case from the United States Supreme Court's decision in Quality King Distributors, Inc. v. L'anza Research International, Inc., 523 U. S. 135 (1998), which held that the "first sale doctrine" codified in section 109(a) limited the scope of section 602(a). As the Second Circuit noted, all of the copyrighted items in Quality King had been manufactured in the U.S., then distributed and sold in overseas markets, where the defendant had repurchased them and imported them into the U.S. for domestic re-sales. The Supreme Court did not address the question of cases where the allegedly infringing imports were manufactured in foreign countries.
The Second Circuit therefore analyzed the language of Section 109(a) and held that the statutory provision's application of the first sale doctrine to copies of works "lawfully made under this title," meant "lawfully made in the United States." Acknowledging that the language of section 109(a) was ambiguous, the Second Circuit drew guidance from the Supreme Court's holding in Quality King and concluded that Quality King's dicta suggested section 602(a)'s importation ban was broad enough to encompass books manufactured abroad and then purchased and imported by Kirtsaeng.
The majority opinion in John Wiley & Sons triggered a strong dissent, and the court's opinion acknowledged that the case presented "a particularly difficult question of statutory construction in light of the ambiguous language of section 109(a)." Other federal courts will undoubtedly be called upon to determine whether they agree or differ with the Second Circuit's analysis. Nonetheless, the Second Circuit's decision applies a brighter line to the question than copyright litigants have seen heretofore, and copyright owners may be expected to rely upon that decision to contest the importation of copies of copyrighted works introduced into the United States without the owner's authorization.

Speak Out: The Rising Threat of Indefinite Detention
Jake Olzen Jan 5, 2012
The irony of it all is way more telling than the State of the Union address that we will hear in a few weeks. A constitutional lawyer who was freely elected president signs into law an act that betrays the very principles that the nation he represents was founded on. While the more cautious of us might shy away from the word fascism to describe a nation's military having the right to detain citizens without trial, it is certainly not hyperbole. There has already been an onslaught of criticism regarding the controversial National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that Congress legislated and President Obama signed into law on January 1, 2012.
Historically, the NDAA was a spending bill that set the annual budget for the US military. Recently, the guaranteed passage of the NDAA has been used by legislators—in spite of vehement rhetorical opposition by progressive and GOP legislators, the bill still passed, unsurprisingly, with overwhelming support (86-13 with one abstaining in the Senate; 322-96 with eleven abstaining in the House)—to craft the policies and politics of the war on terror.
The same day President Obama signed the NDAA, activists with Witness Against Torture (WAT) began preparing for a January 3, 2012 trial to defend themselves against charges stemming from a June 2011 protest when they interrupted House of Representative deliberations on a Defense Appropriations Bill—a precursor to the final NDAA.
The reason for WAT's protest was not the provision that allows the president to indefinitely detain anyone, anywhere, which was not included in the early drafts of the 2012 military spending bill. Rather WAT was protesting the provisions in the bill—which did make it into the NDAA—that establish the prison in Guantanamo Bay as a permanent fixture in U.S. foreign policy and seriously question America's commitment to human and civil rights. Journalist Andy Worthington describes the provisions that make it near impossible to transfer detainees for trial in civilian courts or release them to foreign countries.
The uproar regarding the NDAA's potential treatment of U.S. citizens as "enemy combatants," without rights to counsel or trial, in the war on terror is simply the realization of a misguided, immoral, and ineffective domestic and foreign response to terrorism. The chickens are coming home to roost. The American legacy of the 2000s is one of torture, illegal domestic spying, the flouting of international law, and unconscionable detention practices. Meanwhile, nonviolent alternatives for effectively dealing with terrorists—such as a long-stalled potential rehabilitation center for Guantanamo detainees or peer-group centers that challenge and shift the narratives of Islamist terrorism (such as Abdul Haqq Baker and the STREET center that WNV favorite Tina Rosenberg has reported on)—are not given much official consideration.
Instead, the net of repression continues to grow as it extends across the planet and all its peoples. The U.S. and its people have not been troubled much by the men, women, and even children who languish in its military prisons—secret or otherwise—in Cuba, Bagram, Afghanistan, Bucharest, Romania and countless other global locations. As Witness Against Torture activists, whom I am joining, begin an 11-day Fast for Justice on behalf of all those indefinitely detained, will ordinary Americans recognize the global assault on freedom that the Bush and Obama administrations have waged for over a decade?
As Gitmo proves, the policy and practice of indefinite detention is not new. It's only the latest in a long, ugly succession of unjust detentions ranging from American Indian boarding schools to Japanese internment camps to slave plantations and Abu Ghraib. Even if Americans are aghast at the NDAA's contents that quite clearly contradict the constitutional right of habeas corpus we hold so dear, it is foolish to think this is just a naïve lapse of judgment by the keepers of our best interests. The cat was let out of the bag a long time ago. Recall the famous words of Martin Niemöller, the anti-Nazi pastor and pacifist:
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
We have failed to speak out for prisoners detained the world over. President Obama enters the final year of his first term, and his landmark executive order to close Guantanamo has been reduced to little more than a prank played on hopeful supporters; 171 men remain imprisoned—more than 60 of whom were cleared for release years ago by President Bush. It is not too late to speak out for them—or ourselves, for that matter—but the sun is setting and the dark night of indefinite detention threatens to rise on friend and foe alike. Join us on January 11.

Though the Consortium of Christian Study Centers (CCSC) has only been in existence as a legal entity for a little under ten years, its history stretches back twenty years. In 1998 the Francis Schaeffer Institute at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis decided to invite staff from like-minded institutions to attend the Francis Schaeffer Memorial Lectures that year, since Dr. Drew Trotter, then President of the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville, Virginia was to give them. Wade Bradshaw, Executive Director of the Institute, thought that it would be worthwhile to gather in one place those who were experimenting with this new form of engagement with Higher Education.
From those meetings, four heads of different Study Centers in California, Minnesota, Connecticut, and Virginia—Rev. Randy Bare of Westminster House, Berkeley, CA; Dr. David Mahan of the Rivendell Institute, New Haven, CT; Dr. Robert Osburn of the MacLaurin Institute, Minneapolis, MN; and Dr. Drew Trotter of the Center for Christian Study, Charlottesville, VA—with two other interested parties from Colorado and Missouri—Mr. Steve Webb of Centers for Christian Study International, Inc., Boulder, CO. and Mr. Luke Bobo of Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, MO.—began meeting together for prayer, mutual encouragement, and vision building. These men met together for several years, adding new members, as some dropped off, last meeting informally in the spring of 2007 in Ithaca, NY at the Chesterton House at Cornell University with fourteen people representing nine different Study Centers in attendance.
On July, 25-27, 2008, representatives of six of these Centers—Rev. Randy Bare of Westminster House, Berkeley, CA; Dr. Richard Howe of the Dayspring Institute, Boulder, CO; Dr. Karl Johnson of the Chesterton House, Ithaca, NY; Dr. David Mahan of the Rivendell Institute, New Haven, CT; Dr. Robert Osburn of the MacLaurin Institute, Minneapolis, MN; and Dr. Drew Trotter of the Center for Christian Study, Charlottesville, VA—met at Northwestern College in St. Paul, MN and officially formed the Consortium of Christian Study Centers (CCSC), agreed on a mission statement, drew up by-laws and appointed Dr. Trotter as full-time Executive Director of the Consortium, to begin Jan. 1, 2009. The plan at that time was to become a corporation in the Commonwealth of Virginia, but also to act as a subsidiary corporation of Centers for Christian Study, International (CCSI) in Boulder, CO. Since April 1, 2009, the Consortium has operated on its own as a free-standing, not-for-profit organization.
CCSC achieved 501(c)(3) status with the IRS in July, 2009, and Dr. Trotter spent most of his time in 2009 and 2010 fund-raising, developing infrastructure for the Consortium and visiting numerous sites from Boston to Los Angeles, gathering data and input from Study Centers, churches and third party organizations, about how best to accomplish the four goals of the CCSC mission. He also agreed to be a workplace for a Trinity Presbyterian Church Marketplace Fellow, Erin Sheets, who began work as his part-time administrative assistant in the fall of 2010. An example of the results of their work together during this period is the CCSC website, www.studycentersonline.org, which launched in February, 2011.
Lizzie Guarino was hired in the fall of 2011 as our part-time administrative assistant and spent long hours regularizing systems of payment and data organization. In September of 2011, the Consortium sponsored its first Symposium in Charlottesville, Virginia with representatives from nine Christian Study Centers in attendance. Over two days, 18 Study Center staff and board members discussed James Davison Hunter's book To Change the World with the author. In November of 2011, the CCSC held its first Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California between the Annual Meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society and the American Academy of Religion. 22 different representatives from various Study Centers and Partner Organizations engaged in a panel discussion and two workshops. Drs. Johnson, Mahan and Trotter led the panel discussion, sharing insights on what they had learned in a combined fifty years of Study Center experience. Mr. Kenneth Leonard of Seattle, WA led a workshop on fundraising and Mr. R. Craig Wood of Charlottesville, VA led a workshop on legal issues in higher education.
In December of 2011, the CCSC sent out its first monthly email, informing members and anyone who would like to receive the email of Consortium news, of events of interest at member institutions, and providing brief notes on books, articles, movies and outstanding programs at member institutions, which are useful for consideration by those involved in a Christian Study Center.
Two Symposia for member Study Centers took place in the spring of 2012. The first took place April 13-14, 2012 and featured Dr. Gregory K. Beale and a discussion of his book A New Testament Biblical Theology. This Biblical Theology Symposium was co-sponsored by Park Street Church in Boston, Massachusetts. Eleven representatives of Study Center Members and Partner Organizations were in attendance. The second Symposium occurred on May 3-4, 2012 with Dr. Amy Sherman on her book Kingdom Calling. This Church and Society Symposium was held at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia and had twelve in attendance.
Woody Granger was hired in the fall of 2012 as the CCSC's part-time administrative assistant. The second Annual Meeting of the CCSC took place November 16-17, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois, just prior to the Annual Meetings of the AAR/SBL. Drs. Richard Horner, Executive Director of the Christian Study Center of Gainesville in Gainesville, FL and William Wilder, Executive Director of the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville, VA, led a panel discussion on what they feel are the successes and the failures of their tenures at their respective Study Centers. Rev. Michael Woodward of Christ Church Lake Forest, Lake Forest, IL conducted a workshop on strategic planning.
A Higher Education Symposium was held at the Doubletree Suites by Hilton in Santa Monica, CA on April 26-27, 2013. Led by Dr. Mary Poplin of The Claremont Graduate Schools, the participants read the book Knowing Christ Today by Dallas Willard as preparation for the discussion. Dr. Willard was scheduled to present on his new book The Disappearance of Moral Education, but, sadly, he was never able to finish it. Wanting to be with us in the worst way, he held out to be able to meet with us until just days before he succumbed to the cancer he had fought for some months. The church has lost one of its finest servants, but Dr. Poplin ably filled in for him. She used a draft of her book Is Reality Secular? (IVP, 2013) for her presentation.
Sam Heath was hired in the fall of 2013 as our part-time administrative assistant, and the CCSC's 2013 Annual Meeting, the largest in attendance yet, was held on November 22 & 23 at the Baltimore Convention Center and Hilton Hotel. Ben Sanders, Co-Director of the Arizona Center for Christian Studies, spoke on "President Obama's Campus Challenge" and how Member and Partner Organizations can engage in interfaith dialogue and community service. Cherie Harder concluded the first session by sharing with the attendees how to moderate reading groups and discussions effectively. For the second session the following morning, Steve King and Rhett Butler from Gammon & Grange, P.C. discussed the current state of, and challenges for, tax-exempt organizations as they relate to government.
2014 began with two very significant changes for the Consortium. First, Elaine Rollogas was hired as the full-time Operations Manager in January. She came to the CCSC having lived in New York City and worked at Redeemer Presbyterian Church since 1990. Shortly after Rollogas's arrival, the CCSC moved from its longtime offices at Drew Trotter's home to an office suite located near the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, VA. These offices provided a good working space for the Executive Director, Operations Manager, and Administrative Assistant. Sam Heath, hired in the fall of 2013, continued as the CCSC's part-time administrative assistant.
In 2014, other important shifts took place in the work of the Consortium. The Annual Meeting moved from its typical November time frame between the Annual Meetings of Partner Organizations the Evangelical Theological Society and the American Academy of Religion to a summer slot, July 7-9, 2014. The CCSC also moved to more of a retreat atmosphere provided by The Cove near Asheville, NC. Using parts of three days, rather than two, the Annual Meeting became a hybrid of the former Symposium and Annual Meeting. George Marsden, professor emeritus at Notre Dame, spoke on the content of two of his recent books, The Twilight of the American Enlightenment: The 1950s and the Crisis of Liberal Belief, and a smaller book about C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity and its life as a book. Participants engaged one another in workshops and seminars, led by Executive Directors of member Study Centers, on various topics having to do with intentional community, vision, and bringing order to ministry.
The CCSC also modified its email service to its readers in 2014. What had been for a number of years a single, monthly email became two emails. A "CCSC News & Events" email was sent out monthly, describing not only Consortium events and news, but programs, job placements and other news from member Study Centers and from Partner Organizations. A second email, entitled "CCSC Resources", led readers to reviews of movies, articles and books, as well as new resources such as Discussion Guides, a Speakers List and template documents valuable in starting and maintaining a Study Center.
In 2015, the Consortium had perhaps its most stable year yet. The staff remained the same as Elaine Rollogas and Sam Heath became more and more comfortable in their jobs, allowing Drew Trotter to do more travel and speaking. The Fifth Annual Meeting, following essentially the format of the year before and also held at The Cove, was even more appreciated by the membership as Richard Mouw, past president of Fuller Theological Seminary and Mark Bauerlein, Senior Editor of First Things spoke on topics of civility and public discourse in the university. Workshops on shared space and spiritual direction, directed discussions in groups segmented by "years in existence" called Tier Discussions, and an introductory panel of Partner Organizations (IV's Emerging Scholars Network, Regent College, and Global Scholars) rounded out the programming of the Annual Meeting. By the end of the year, the Consortium had grown to 19 Members (3 Study Centers joined in 2015) and 21 Partner Organizations (6 Partner Organizations joined in 2015).
In 2016, Sam Heath left the Consortium to pursue a career in high school teaching and was replaced by Marie Trotter, who became a part-time administrative assistant, chiefly in charge of the News & Events email, bookkeeping, and other administrative duties including the new Regent College Scholarship Project developed to allow students and staff from member Study Centers to attend two weeks of summer school at Regent College in Vancouver, BC and engage in discussions of vocation and Christian life and study with Dr. Trotter. This year's Annual Meeting, again held at The Cove, featured Dr. Felicia Song and Dr. George Yancey, addressing issues of digital life and racial reconciliation, respectively. In 2016, two more Study Centers joined the Consortium, bringing its membership to twenty-one. 2016 saw a large increase in Partner Organizations with six more joining, making the total twenty-seven.
2017 saw a physical change to the offices of the Consortium, as it moved to a more spacious location, though it remained in Charlottesville. The Regent College Scholarship Project went from four participants in its first year to ten recipients, representing three different nationalities, eight different universities and graduate schools, and four different racial/ethnic backgrounds. The Annual Meeting continued to increase in size and was held at a new, more central location at Wheaton College near Chicago, IL, to reflect the growing presence of Study Center members and Partner Organizations from the Midwest and Western United States. The speakers were Drs. Peter Leithart, John Inazu, and Christopher Armstrong, complemented by workshops and directed discussion groups. Two more CSCs joined the Consortium, bringing its number to twenty-three, as different Partner Organizations both left and joined the Consortium, leaving its number at twenty-eight.
2018 was a quieter year after the bustle of moving the year before, though our address did change because the city reassigned our street name from Pepsi Place to Hillsdale Drive. Once again, we had a wonderfully engaging and beneficial Vocation Project (aka Scholarship Project) at Regent College in Vancouver, with a mixture of grad and undergrad students from Texas to Florida to Toronto to Minneapolis joining in. The 8th Annual Meeting of the Consortium of Christian Study Centers was held at Techny Towers Conference and Retreat Center, Techny, IL in late summer. We were pleased to register 78 people including staff and board members from 20 Study Centers and 9 Partner Organizations, and 8 other guests that are developing new study centers. The speakers were Drs. Alan Jacobs (Professor at Baylor University) and Warren Kinghorn (Psychiatrist at Duke University Medical Center and Duke Divinity School). There were three topical workshops and two meetings for regional discussions in addition to the main sessions. This year our number of member Study Centers increased to 26 and Partner Organizations to 27.
2019 was a year of relative quiet for the Consortium. The staff remained the same, and the Annual Meeting was again held at Techny Towers on the outskirts of Chicago. The formerly named Scholarship Project became the Vocation Project and again hosted ten scholarship students for two weeks at Regent College's summer school. Among the fine offerings there, however, the VP students had the privilege of spending an hour and a half each with Steve Garber, Amy Sherman, and N.T. Wright, all of whom taught at Regent that summer. The Annual Meeting was also different in that Dr. Kenneth Elzinga, one of the founders of the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville, VA (our oldest member), addressed us on his vision for Christian study centers. Dr. Elizabeth Corey of Baylor University also spoke on the wholeness of knowledge and how it is attained as much in connection with desire as in connection with cognition. Again, the Annual Meeting had over 80 participants. The Vocation Project included more Ph.D. students and member study center staff than ever before. Three more study centers joined the CCSC, bringing its number of members to 29, and partner organization acceptances rebounded with five new partners. At the Annual Meeting, a letter from the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the CCSC, Karl Johnson, was read indicating that Drew Trotter would be stepping down as Executive Director of the CCSC as of December 31, 2020. A search committee has been appointed by the Board.

Each year, Drew Trotter gives a talk on the Academy Award nominees for Best Picture, what those nominees reflect about our culture, and how Christians can think about and respond to those films.

Everybody Loves at Least One Critic
A.O. Scott, the chief film critic for The New York Times, had a problem. He had written a negative review of the famous Avengers movie of several years ago, a movie which proceeded to make $1.5B at the box office worldwide. Shortly after the review came out, Samuel L. Jackson, one of the stars of the film tweeted, "AO Scott needs a new job! Let's help him find one! One he can ACTUALLY do!"
Now, neither the box office bonanza—which Scott predicted by the way in his review—nor a tweet by Samuel L. Jackson, one of the most powerful actors in Hollywood, was going to threaten the job of arguably the most respected film critic in America.

Peaceful or War-like Resistance?
Art is political. Period. Anyone who says it is not, does not know what they are talking about.
Gee, Drew, how do you really feel about it…
Of course, some art is more political than other art, though all good art is strongly political because the clearer, the more complex and important the themes and ideas promoted in that art are, the more political the piece of art is. Take film for instance. Frozen carries messages far more powerful and life-changing than does Kung-Fu Panda (1, 2, or 3), and it is greater art because of it.

'The Walking Dead' Stars Speak Out About That Shocking Midseason Finale
Caitlin Leale December 11th, 2017 - 6:02 PM
(Warning: this article includes spoilers for The Walking Dead season 8's midseason finale "How It's Gotta Be".) The Walking Dead has sure given its fans a lot to mull over until season 8 returns from its midseason break. With last night's midseason finale, AMC's The Walking Dead did what many saw as the unthinkable: by revealing that Carl Grimes (played by Chandler Riggs) has a walker bite, the series has effectively killed off one of its few remaining original season 1 characters.
The reveal has been labeled one of The Walking Dead's boldest moves ever. Notably, Carl Grimes does not die (yet) in the comics and is still alive in well in Robert Kirkman's original storyline. Andrew Lincoln, the actor who plays Carl's father Rick Grimes on the show, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what Carl's death will mean for the show.
"[Glenn's death] was so radical, but this — with the repercussions of it and what it means to lose a boy — to lose this significant character from the comic books is an extraordinary call," the actor said. "I mean it's incredibly courageous and I have to commend AMC and Scott, and the writers for making the most daring call they could possibly have made."
Lincoln later went on to say that watching Chandler Riggs grow as an actor has been "one of the great gifts of my career." Many speculated that Riggs was itching to move on from The Walking Dead and go away to college, causing the showrunners to write him off the show. But the actor has corrected the record and said that it wasn't his decision to leave the series.
"I'm taking a gap year right now to focus on acting for a while," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "Leaving Walking Dead wasn't my decision. It was all story related." The actor insisted that Carl's death "serves a good purpose in the story."
But since the episode has aired, Rigg's own father has come out and expressed his frustration with The Walking Dead's decision to write Chandler off the show in a public Facebook post that has now gone viral. AMC has not commented on the post or The Walking Dead's decision to kill Carl.
Killing off Carl Grimes comes at an interesting point in the show's run on television. The Walking Dead is currently in its worst rating slump yet, and its viewership ratings have continually dropped as this season has gone on. It remains to be seen if this narrative move with Carl will pull in more viewers or drive even more away due to its shocking nature.
The Walking Dead returns from its midseason break with new episodes on Sunday, February 25 at 9pm EST on AMC.

An overhaul of Ontario's health-care system is far beyond the draft stages, the NDP said, as the party released more leaked documents detailing the Progressive Conservative's plans.
The NDP released three documents marked "confidential," containing specific timelines and information on the work already performed by civil servants and the government from Dec. 13, 2018 to Jan. 22, 2019.
A slide titled "outsourcing" lists a number of services, including inspections, laboratories, licensing, devices and Ornge Air Ambulance.
The NDP cautioned that this would lead to mass privatization.
"This scheme is an unprecedented opportunity for private, for-profit corps to get their mitts on our health care system," Horwath told reporters.
"Patients will have a single team of providers for all their care needs and will no experience gaps in service," the document reads.
The documents also show ongoing work to create the "super agency," including appointing a board of directors and hiring focus groups to test names for the agency.
The NDP noted that the documents indicate the outline has been approved by the cabinet.
Responding to the NDP's accusations on Monday, Health Minister Christine Elliott vehemently denied the services listed by opposition were being privatized.
"Ontarians will continue to access reliable, public healthcare through OHIP," Elliott said.
Elliott did not respond to questions about what, if any, services were being privatized.
The leaked document also warns of several risks that come with dissolving LHINs, including a "service disruption" during the transition period and the potential for labour disruptions with the Ontario Nurses Association.
To that, Elliott vowed to focus on patient care.
"No patients are going to fall through the cracks. Patient care and patient safety are my priorities," she said.
The health minister has maintained that the government is looking at overhaul of the health-care system, but has not made any final decisions. She insisted again on Monday that consultations are still underway.
"What we are proposing is a massive transformation of our public health care system. There are many, many aspects of it to be considered. And we want to make sure we get this right," she said.
According to Elliott, the first set of documents showed a draft piece of legislation. The second set was a "public services document" that she had never before seen.


The 5th Annual Sunriver Art Faire is at the Village at Sunriver August 8-10. The Faire has grown over the last four years and this year will host 60 artists. Artists are chosen by a jury of four contemporaries or art specialists who ensure that the art is of high quality, true to its category, and offers a range of options for purchase. Categories represented in 2014 include painting, ceramics, photography, drawing, glass, gourd, jewelry, metal work, wood, textiles, sculpture, printing and mixed media. The variety is one of the most inviting features of the Sunriver Art Faire.
2010: Karen E. Lewis states, "Water became a natural subject for me to paint." Her oil paintings always include water, with sweeping brushstrokes to express the life of the water and its surrounding environment. Karen's painting in 2010 not only won at the Sunriver Art Faire, but was chosen as the poster for the 2010 Sunriver Music Festival.
2014: Luis Enrique Gutierrez is a third generation ceramic artist from Nicaragua. His ceramics are representative of precision and artistry in sculpture and stem from the work of his family and a former Peace Corps volunteer who discovered the art and developed a group of Nicaraguans to share this exquisite work with the world.
The 5th Annual Sunriver Art Faire will be sharing a new Best of Show on the second weekend in August.

"Early Adopters Are Big Buyers"
If you have a particular market niche where new products come out all the time, you will want to cultivate the early adopters to make faster sales. Technical market niches tend to rely on early adopters to help drive sales, and once the word is out, if the product is good it will fly off the shelves. So, how do you go about cultivating early adopters?
It isn't just enough to have a contact list with people who love technical gadgets or cookies. You have to identify people who can quickly promote your products, if they like them. One way to do that is to find blog owners who are within your market niche who have a big following. Ask them if they would like to review your product, either for pay or for the product itself. If it's something of interest to them and their readers, you won't have much trouble twisting their arms to get them to comply, especially if you find ways to sweeten the pot. The goal here is to get your product reviewed by an expert in the market niche and promote it by getting the word out as soon as possible to as many people in that niche as possible. Getting people who already have cultivated that audience and are willing to share it with you is a clever way to reach many multiple early adopters.
Who on your contact list bought the earlier version or similar product to the new one you are now promoting? That's the best place to start selling the newest version. Early adopters may have many of the same products in their home, but what sells them isn't the product itself, it's being the first to own the product before it hits the mass market. And, if you've taken the time to cultivate the buying behavior of your customers you should have a ready list of people to market via email. Just send out notice that you have a new product in the works and that you will offer them a sweet deal for placing an order to reserve theirs before anyone else.
As long as you have permission to solicit people on your email list, they won't consider it spamming. In fact, they'll probably be excited to get a peek of the new product before anyone else. Let them know what all the features and benefits are, just as if you were marketing a new client, and also how it differs from any similar products they bought from you before.
This is one way to snag new customers who may have other products, even some of your old ones, and give them an incentive to trade them in for the new product. If you can find a way to swap and still make a good deal, you will have created demand for people who already have an interest in the type of product your are rolling out.


Who wouldn't be familiar with Ramen? : Japanese noodle soup dish, usually served with Chinese style noodle, arguably most popular with thick chashu pork pieces for the carnivores (although there are a lot of options for toppings - ranges only limited by the chef/ramen joint), to plain seaweed or green onions for the more purists.
The soup stock can generally be categorized into four type (trust me, I looked up Wikipedia :P): Shio (salt based), Tonkotsu (pork based), Shoyu (soy sauce based), and Miso. With these four, and sometimes combination between them, it caters to a lot of different tastebuds.
Lately I have been on the hunt for good ramen around Sydney - but not just your usual Ramen noodle in soup: I seek for the perfect Tsukemen.
Tsukemen is a type of Ramen where dry noodle is served with usually thicker (more condensed and intensely flavoured) soup stock to be used for dipping. And from my adventure, apparently it's very hard to get this right. Some joints have the soup stock too thinly flavoured, some too strong, and some are just... well ... not worth mentioning.
There are two places that I have visited but do not put on a review here. One is because it's very disappointing I don't think it's worth a review, the other is pretty decent, but I didn't bring my camera.
One that disappointed me: Ryo's Noodles (125 Falcon St, Crows Nest). Their tsukemen (A$15) is served with cold soup. While the serving was very generous (lots and lots of noodle, served with good chashu, not very good egg - it was very hard-boiled, not the half-cooked type I am accustomed to, bamboo shoots, and nori sheets), the soy based soup was quite thin and hardly tasted of anything at all.
Gone are the days where I got so excited making a trip to the northern part of Sydney for good ramen. Maybe it's because of the constant queue and demand, maybe it's something else - their ramen (even the much loved Chijire Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen) do not appeal to me anymore.
The other place that I tried but did not take pictures of is Ramen Ikkyu (Shop F1A, 401 Sussex St. Food Court Chinatown): their tsukemen (A$14) is served with soy based soup as well, but I found this a much better version than Ryo's. Adequately flavoured as much intense as soy based soup could go. 1/2heart found it too salty though, and somewhat I agree. However, this soup is not meant to be drank straight up. It's meant to be used as dipping 'sauce' for the dry noodles.
Karami Miso Tsukemen - At $10.90, the most economical tsukemen with decent flavor. The soup is chicken and miso based, so it is somewhat light but still have adequate flavor to dip your noodles into.
Perfect ni-tamago (egg) with half-runny egg yolk. You can also choose between thin or thick noodles.
Whilst I'm on tsukemen quest, 1/2heart loves ramen too - specifically the ones in black garlic oil. So It's worth mentioning that Menya also does good Black Garlic Oil Ramen. I could totally taste the smokiness and smell the lovely aroma.
They have two versions of tsukemen (both A$10.50), and I chose the Spicy Tsukemen. The soup is pork based and the noodles came with generous pork pieces (more generous than Menya's, though not as tender). Good consistency of noodles as well, however the soup flavor was a bit flat for me. Since it's pork based, I expected this to have more depth to it.
When I was there, they did not have the Tan-Tan Tsukemen (boo), so I ordered the normal Tsukemen instead (A$13). BUT! The dish did not come with ni-tamago (double boo!), so had to order that as a side.
You can choose to have spinach noodle instead of the normal (yellow) noodle, though - so I did just that.
Good Noodles, OK soup (not enough packed with flavor IMO), not enough chashu (only one thin sliver of pork)!
This is another always-packed place. Their ramen are always good and consistent in quality and taste. If you came here during lunch or dinner hours .... good luck. Sometimes the line outside could make my stomach cry.
Price wise, it is the most expensive Tsukemen I have ever tried (A$17). Good noodle, great thick chashu, and the flavor is intense. Too intense, infact, for my taste. A pity for me, because the myriad of flavour combination in the soup - pork and bonito based broth - can actually be really good. In fact it would be perfect if they notched it down a tad.
Their tsukemen is limited-time/seasonal only though, so you may not find it the next time you dine there.
1/2heart would like to note that Ippudo's version of black garlic oil ramen is the best. It is expensive though (A$17 without egg, A$19 with one).
Ippudo makes perfect ni-tamago, look at this beautiful curve leaking with golden yolk goodness.
Saving the best for last - my favourite tsukemen joint (and any type of ramen in general).
They have three type of tsukemen - all pork based. You may try the original version, but ever since Zundo started serving the Gyokai Tsukemen (A$12.90), this is my favorite tsukemen, Ever. By Far.
With Gyokai version, the soup is infused with dried fish (4 types apparently, but hey who would have counted) and the thickness and flavor of the soup is just right to properly infuse the chewy thick noodles. The chashu pork are also diced into smaller pieces and incorporated in the soup. It just added that much extra flavor when they hit your tongue. Just beautiful. If Ippudo's version is too intense, this one is just perfect.
You can also thin down the dipping soup a bit by asking the waitress for extra soup.
The tsukemen does not come with ni-tamago though... :( So had to order on the side to make this a truly perfect meal for me.
1/2heart would also like to add - although he thinks Ippudo's version is (slightly) more superior, he thinks Zundo's Black Garlic Oil Ramen (Rich Zundo Black or Light Zundo Black. Go Rich, I'd say) is great value for money and actually very tasty. In fact, in a normal course of day, he'd choose Zundo's over Ippudo's.
And thus hereby my tsukemen quest (ongoing) for now. I wonder if I will taste a better tsukemen than the one I have had at Zundo in Sydney or elsewhere... .
amazing. thank you very much for the review. just came back from japan and wanted to find out where the best tsukemen is in sydney1!
Awesome post. I get mad tsukemen cravings since trying fuunji in japan. I frequently go to ramen zundo as it is close to my work but i always get original or spicy.i will have to get the fish extract one next time !

Ford EcoSport has again emerged out leader in Brazilian market when compared to Renault Duster. The American car maker sold 4,324 units of the car in Brazil while the French carmaker could manage just 1,212 units. Instead if you look closely at the nnumbers, you will recognize that the gap between the two cars is widening every month.
However, in the month of January 2013, Ford EcoSport sold 6,367 units and Duster sold 3,695 units. EcoSport's launch has eaten away into the Duster's market share in Brazil by quite a margin despite the EcoSport being priced higher than the Duster.In India, the Ford EcoSport is expected to be launched at a lesser price as compared to Renault's Duster. It would not be a good option to comment any thing about two cars - in terms of which one will sell more in India, we will have to wait and watch at what happens when EcoSport is launched in India. Ford EcoSport will be displayed during a Supplier's meet at Chennai on 19th March 2013.
As of now, we just know that Renault's Duster is a success story in India and has clocked more than 30,000 units since the time it was launched in India on 04th July 2012. View more details on comparison of two here.

"2005", Millennial quarter-life crisis / late 2000s nostalgia anthem (after Bowling for Soup's "1985")
To capture and speak to the not-so-young Millennials' nostalgia for the late 2000s, in contrast to the more bitter than sweet appraisal of where they're at now, I wrote a new set of lyrics to "1985" by pop punk band Bowling For Soup (from 2004; original lyrics). I expect it'll resonate most with people born in the first half of the '90s.
The changes reflect the more precarious living standard of the Millennials vs. the early X-ers of the original song, as well as the greater influence on Millennials of online culture than music and TV. Especially the shift in online's role from complementing to substituting for reality -- from web 2.0 to social media. And with that, the elimination of a real-life component to culture.
The main hurdle to re-making it is the stress pattern for the numbers of the year. The only real way is to rearrange the stress on "two-thousand" so that it goes: "TWO-thou, TWO-thou, TWO-thou-SAND and FIVE". For the other lines, they generally have three stressed syllables per line (the first stress of the measure is a rest for the vocals, making the standard 4 beats per measure).

To pin that down more precisely, according to excitation theory mega-generations are every 15 years at most. Its 15-year generations, not 20-year ones, with a new generation beginning with each warmup phase(I think).
So the 'repressed' generation is from 1975-1989, with the late 80s births somewhat cut off from the others(due to cocooning). Sill, though, there's commonality due to Millenials like me and Feryl posting on this blog.
