The idea by which anything new be it a business, piece of artwork, elaborate speech, explanation or lesson plan, issues forth from ones owns mind, and manifests itself in the physical world, much in the same way as a seed landing in the soil becomes activated, sends out roots, and grows into a plant"

Lamed Vav Tzadikim « TheWritersCafe.org

Lamed Vav Tzadikim « TheWritersCafe.org: "the numerical value of 36, may indeed be secondary to understanding the meaning of the shape of the Hebrew letters. Lamed is distinct in that it is the only Hebrew letter that goes above the guideline. Kabbalistically this can be explained to be the letter that taps into shemayim (heaven) to capture a creation or an idea. However capturing an idea alone might not be enough, and that is where the Vav comes in. The straight line from the top to the bottom which can be thought of to be the essence of the Vav, is what is needed to take an idea who’s origin is in Shemayim, and bring it down to the world where it van be revealed, understood, and acted upon."

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post: "the pattern of abuse that happened in the church is far more widespread that what is reported to have happened at Penn State. And I should be clear about another factor: the Catholic Church has, since the scandal broke, instituted important steps to remove abusers and prevent future abuse. (The U.S. Bishops Conference’s Office for Child and Youth Protection is one such step.) But anyone who seeks to combat abuse in their institutions should be aware of a hidden trap: Be vigilant not only about safeguarding against sexual abuse, not only about holding perpetrators accountable, not only about turning over credible accusations to civil authorities, but also about resisting the powerful draw into feeling too sorry for the wrong people."

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post: " It is difficult for a diocese, a religious order, a school, or indeed members of any institution to resist the powerful pull of the grandiose narcissist. Indeed, people often seem unaware that they are being deluded into an overblown sympathy for the wrong “victim.”

In addition, institutional leaders can be overwhelmed by repeated pleas "

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post: "The grandiose person is often the “Pied Piper,” the one who easily gathers around him students, football players, altar boys, or even adults. Often a larger-than-life character, he may be the charismatic founder of an organization, the successful president of a school, the beloved teacher, the energetic Scout master, the popular pastor or the well-respected principal. Children and adolescents gravitate towards him because of his charisma; and, more importantly, because of his exalted status adults may feel more comfortable leaving their children in his care."

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post: "experiences another person’s recoil or discomfort, he will not take that step back. He will not consider the other’s feelings. He may not even notice those feelings. Why? Because, as the saying goes, “it’s all about him.” The narcissist’s needs are paramount. This, in part, helps to explain the tragic tendency of the abuser to continue to abuse even when the other is clearly suffering. Though I have never witnessed an actual case of abuse first hand, it is not hard to imagine the suffering that must be evident on the face of the child or young person. The healthy person registers this emotional response; the narcissist does not."

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post: " And in both cases longtime members of the institutions (parishioners and students) responded with intense emotions over the scandal. (The rioting at Penn State may have shown not only frustration over the removal of Coach Joe Paterno, but also shame and anger over the public denigration of their school.)

The differences are important to count as well: Penn State is not an institution responsible for the spiritual care of souls, as is the church. It is not is expected to live up to the highest standards of the Gospel. Nor is it an institution as vast as, as complex as, or with the international scope of the church. Most importantly, once those at the highest levels of authority discovered unavoidable proof of crimes, action was swift and decisive at Penn State, unlike, sadly, in the church. Bishops were not immediately removed for their failures in oversight, as was Joe Paterno and Graham Spanier, the university president."

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post: "In both cases children were abused in the most sordid and tragic ways, scarring individuals for life. In both cases well-meaning adults reported the abuse, or at least their suspicions, to officials in the institution, assuming that this would put an end to the crimes. In both cases high-level officials could have reported these crimes to the police but did not do so (for a variety of reasons.) In both cases the abuse happened in an institution that seemed for many to be at the center of their lives. (The cheer “We are Penn State” shows a deep identification with the university.) In both places the desire to avoid “scandal” led to even greater scandal."

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post

A priest’s view of Penn State - Guest Voices - The Washington Post: "The terrible parallels between the horrific sexual abuse cases at Penn State and those in the Catholic Church are by now well known. But as a priest, I must say this at the outset: the vast number of children and young people abused in the worldwide church dwarf--by an order of magnitude--the number of victims at State College."

Love of the Land: Slomich - CAMERA Op-Ed: "Will Kent State say ‘enough’?": "Will Kent State say ‘enough'?

Yet another tenured professor has abused his position to defame and attack Israel on campus without, it seems, any professional repercussions. Kent State University's Prof. Julio Pino's cry of "Death to Israel," hurled at a visiting Israeli diplomat during a university forum, has made national and international news. The professor's actions have been generally portrayed as beyond the realm of penalty and simply a matter of free speech."

Why The $7 Billion Keystone XL Pipeline Is The Most Controversial Business Venture In America

Why The $7 Billion Keystone XL Pipeline Is The Most Controversial Business Venture In America: "In Nebraska, Gov. David Heineman has said he would support the pipeline if it moved away from the Ogallala aquifer which provides drinking water to 1.5 million people. Back in August, the State Department issued a statement saying the project would cause no significant environmental damage if TransCanada complied with U.S. law."

Social Tropism: November 2011

Social Tropism: November 2011: "if the government will not change the way they do things, then they should simply hire some organization that can do things properly.

Think about this one simple fact. When organizations which receive federal funding reaches the end of its fiscal year, they spend whatever money is left, because they know that if they do not use all the money that was "budgeted" by the end of the year, that they cannot ask for more the following year, or that if they do ask for more they will not get it!"

SAN Cloud 9- It starts with a name (sometimes) then...: The Great Google Caught Flat Footed!

SAN Cloud 9- It starts with a name (sometimes) then...: The Great Google Caught Flat Footed!: " idea of "Google" being some sort of monopoly. This concept may come into play with certain standard online advertising concepts like CPC (cost per click) and Page Rank (a google term as in Google Page Rank). Thankfully there are some other website metrics out there like, Alexa tool bar ratings for example that also have some very important statistics that are not controlled by Google, rather Alexa is owned by Amazon.

Yet this is the story of how I found google promoting product that is not yet even in any sort of preliminary or even Beta Version!

Is it okay for a giant resource locator, like Google, to promote a product that does not yet even exist?

I am talking about: http://www.picapp.com/

Now when a small independent Web Developer, such as myself, attempt to create some level of hype, interest excitement, or even simply promoting a domain, that may well be for sale. it understandable when such a developer pepper his postings with some hype about an upcoming project.
