2008-06-03 02:08:00 I am sitting in an airport bar in Atlanta on a layover. The women here are definitely attractive, but it is also apparent that a lot of work and engineering has gone into some of the beauty I see around me. The theme of the airport bar is auto racing, which is ironic because the NASCAR brand has been built on the concept of speed... and yet I have been sitting here for 20 minutes waiting for someone, anyone, to take my order.My final destination today is Memphis, where I will be spending two months on my summer apostolate. During the novitiate (first year), people are typically sent away during Lent on an assignment, as I was last year at Berkeley; because students have school during the spring our assignments are during the summer between semesters.The truth is that I have not thought that much about my upcoming summer ? between school, finishing that video project for the Paulist 150th Anniversary, and doing my bi-annual tour of the East Coast to see as many friends and family...

Triple H's 12 titles say something

On Land Titles, Property and the State
2008-05-06 08:22:00 From: What is Political Economy Trace the origin of land titles back through the centuries and you will invariably find them based upon force or fraud. While not able to articulate ground rent or the law of rent, sovereigns and would-be rulers recognized ownership of land as the source of wealth and power. As the German sociologist, Franz Oppenheimer, put it so well in his opus THE STATE, they were engaged in the political means for obtaining wealth rather than the economic means. John Locke recognized the distinction between property in land and property in the product of labor. In the Second Treatise on Civil Government he wrote; Though the earth and all inferior creatures be common to all men, yet every man has property in his own person; this nobody has any right to but himself. The labor of his body and the work of his hands we may say are properly his. Whatsoever, then, he removes out of the state that nature hath provided and left it in, he hath mixed hi...

Those that follow a certain path, whether it be a "cult" or a vaguely defined belief system, inevitbly follow it into the valleys and sometimes even the canyons.

Manchester United: On the Road to Win Titles in Premier and Champions Leagu
2008-04-15 21:20:00 Manchester United, my favorite football club, are on the real track to win two big titles. The first one is in the England's Premier League, and the second in UEFA Champions League. Premier League Four games until the end of the season. We lead the league. Chelsea are second (minus 5 points). Manchester are host in one game (with West Ham) and will play 3 games as a visitor (w/ Blackburn, Chelsea and Wigan). Chelsea are our biggest rival, but I think that we'll win Barclays Premier League. Champions League Manchester United will play two games with Barcelona in the semifinal of UEFA Champions League. By my opinion, this year Manchester have better team than Barcelona, so we'll play in the finals with Liverpool or Chelsea (the teams from the other semifinal). At the end... the Red Devils will be champions of the European football in the season 2007/2008. ;) Hey guys, you have my full support!

On Bring Ya to the Brink the fifty-five-year-old Eighties icon returns with a set of uptempo dance tracks she co-wrote and co-produced with collaborators like Basement Jaxx ("Rocking Chair") and Swedish producer Kleerup ("Lay Me Down"). On her blog, Lauper reported that she traveled to Paris and England to write for the first time and "returned to my voice as a writer and as an artist but in a way I had never done before." The famous New Yawka checked out the Swedish music scene because "the Swedes have this incredible melody sense," but suffered a few communication breakdowns on the way: "Other Euro countries I think, speak the Queens English, and I ain't speaking about a Borough."

Movie titles to cost more
2008-03-12 19:25:00 You may have to pay a little more for the DVD and VCD. After a short spell of price cuts, home entertainment majors have deeded to change their pricing tack. Now, they will hike prices, despite the competition. Less than a year ago, the entry of Moser Baer triggered a dramatic cut in DVD/VCD prices. While the low-price strategy of Moser Baer pulled the average price range in the market from Rs 250-400 to the Rs 100-150 mark, players have realized that this model is not viable. In the last six months, VCD/DVD prices for new Hindi titles have gone up. Even as players like T-Series, Shemaroo and others dropped prices significantly, there was surge in volumes. Tighter margins and high acquisition rights for titles are now driving home entertainment players to revisit the old strategy of higher prices. Shemaroo dropped its rates last year by 30% in the hope that volumes would make up the gap. However to ensure same levels of returns, we were looking at volumes going up by 2.5 times. Th...

Mature Titles Dwindle As Revenue Grows - SendMeRSS
2008-03-12 15:05:00 Mature Titles Dwindle As Revenue Grows Despite a 14 percent drop in the number of Mature-rated titles released during 2007 as compared to the prior year, these games saw a 64 percent jump in revenue, according to some number crunching by Next Gen's Matt Matthews. As an explanation for these surprising figures, Matthews reasons that publishers focused on more family-friendly titles, as on average they generate more profit than Mature titles (in much the same way that R-rated films don't do as well as PG-13 films). The jump in revenue however, seems to be an anomaly caused by the nearly simultaneous release of three of the biggest Mature games of all time: Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed and Halo 3. Combined, these three games moved 11.7 million units, and easily generated more cash than 2006's Gears of War, that year's only ultra-successful Mature title. According to Matthews' numbers the decline of Mature-rated games should continue in the near future, but 20...
