Getting harder for the Sports Dude / Dudette to correlate sports team victories to anything at all. So, remember those sports figures are like Hercules and Achilles- Demi-Gods all. Rooting for them is the next best thing to actually being kin to Hera, Gaea, Athena, Aphrodite, Rhea, Psyche, Hestia, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo..., or Zeus himself !
"With the strength of ten men he slew 1,ooo of the enemy wielding only the jawbone of an ass." Yeah, that's some legacy Mr Samson.. (...for the Bible followers among us). We use Tomahawks that spew fire and travel at 550 mph nowadays.
With all of the U.S. military bases around the world, you'd run out of States before you could assign our fighting and support forces (offense & defense) a State to sponsor and root for each of them, (600+ over seas U.S. Military bases) even if we assigned each (of our 50) State(s) SIX Military Base "fighting forces" exclusively.
What detail those large screen TVs could show as our modern day Gladiators operate in their respective theaters of conflict.
But now we're told the entertainment is winding down at Oceania. The forces in Eurasia and East Asia are our Allies. Has it not always been so? In honor of our victory Chocolate rations are up 1/4 percent. That's double plus good isn't it Brothers and Sisters? Those inner party members really have a grip on things! When were trends ever better?
With the anti-sex leagues pulling out all the stops in the UAE, and Asia, our Military and corporate foot prints are going to have to get the latest newspeak dictionary from the inner party soon. Too much use of un-words and your cashiered as an un-person, like Winston and Julia! ...Agents of Goldstein! Failing to perfect your language means soon you'll be spending a stint in room 101, for thought crime.

Some new U.S. Patent laws are heading our way.
Phone App not certified? Take your best shot!
Per the U.S. Patent office new rules.
The days of skimpy bandwidth, proprietary network exclusions of perfectly good software apps and Goat Footed Balloon Men are nearly over in the U.S.A. !!
"Charge it to my smart phone, please!!"
Credit card plastic? Hold the petroleum- I'll pay by tricorder.
My phone company is about to expand it's accounts billable to me. Could the "Bank writ be a thing of the past?
We'll be agreeing to abide by "all the rules of our phones" instead...!
Yeah, Not for nothing- Hewlett Packard has swallowed up PALM. I still have my Palm Treo 700P; the banks wish they owned phone companies ....

The Book of Eli; my own evaluation of the movie by C. Dember
I enjoyed the movie for it's action.
It's narrative reminded me of scenes from the movie Equilibrium (gun Katas of the priests) as well as a scene from the book and movie series "Dune" (The character Muad'Dib is blinded by a Stone Burner / tactical nuke- yet continues to move cogently about thanks to vision within prophesy.)
Herein lies the problem. As a work of fiction the way this book (a King James version of the Bible written in Braille) is narrated from memory by Eli- a resolute blind traveler at the end of his days is one thing. Such fiction should be compared to reality on this occasion to detect it's import.
Benjamin Banneker memorized the parts of a clock so as to reconstruct them in the new world. This is a fact. The technology of clock building was advanced and proliferated in this manner by a man who was a noun.
Nicola Tesla designed the alternating current power grid, the 3 phase a/c motor and the 3 phase a/c power station at Niagara Falls, Frank Lloyd Wright the Guggenheim Museum, patterned after the Nautilus shell.
Joan of Arc, as good as any man in battle, was done in by bankers and burned at the stake by the Catholic Church.
Adolf Hitler built the Third Reich while destroying the Jewish middle class and then took it to Ruin. Joseph Stalin killed millions in his quest for the ideal state.
Napoleon Bonaparte built an empire only to loose it.
There is always an I.D. bearing noun performing the executive functioning of creativity or destruction no matter if we're talking about the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs or the Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea.
The notion that persons or things act because they are directed by an I.D. lacking perfect being which is not therefore a noun- attempts to place such a theatrical device at cause over all outcomes when it is always a noun wielding the tools in plain sight!
The virtue such a device uses to attain it's value is always the faith in it possessed by a human being (noun). God(s), anthropomorphic, identity-less, parasitic software devices are a treason to humanity and all nouns at large! Any God(s) should therefore be rejected as impossible, specious & backward, a fictitious enterprise!

Reason and choice from volition
Reason is the process whereby we may use logic to plan for life enhancing or cogent experiences. Emotions are merely outcomes of experiences. You may have noticed that some experiences and the processes that mitigate them are within our control, and some are not.
For instance, if my ancestral home in place X is over run by some unfriendly neighboring tribes, without warning, when I am as yet a child, THIS IS BEYOND MY CONTROL.
When I grow up, I may choose to slaughter those peoples who have captured the ground where my ancestors were living, or I can choose to find another place to revere as significant in such a context. It need not be on land as such. It could in fact be on the keyboard, fretboard or register of a musical instrument. Such a place could be found in the instrumentality of some as yet undiscovered technology or within the orthodoxy of an existing group of practices.
The point being, do I choose to fashion my own identity or is it bound to the victimization of my ancestors as I seek to find conquest in the succeeding victimization of future generations of children as yet unborn? Do I resolve my personal conflict by killing and subjugating others or by reevaluating and reinventing my own place in the sun? The bellicose choice or that of the pacifist both deserve careful consideration as the former and the latter choices both tend to perpetuate themselves over time.

The biggest rights in the gulf of Mexico
The entities with the biggest rights in the Gulf of Mexico are the nations who have delegated off shore drilling rights to multi-national corporations.
The amount of money which can be had for such drilling privilages dwarfs even the billions of dollars now required for cleaning up the Deep Sea Horizon oil spill there.
But the losses of food from this catastrophy is going to cause problems deemed of lesser importance by these same powerful nations. This great loss to the peoples of the United States and Mexico comes at a time when climate change is already putting cost increases on the oil based food production methods employed here.
Can it be wise to drill so deep beneath the oceans that only robots can do the work? In the face of new forms of energy technology is such risk to both human life and our food supply necessary? At what price does the cost of energy from deep sea oil deposits become too high. We are getting a clearer picture of these things presently!
