...constantly borrow one another's sermons, usually without crediting them. Megapastor Rick Warren built up much of his "Purpose-Driven" organizational base by putting his sermons up on the web so that others could use them. One of the reasons that Martin Luther King Jr. was granted so much slack after it was discovered that he had plagiarized some of his doctoral thesis (apart from the fact that he was one of the greatest humans our country has produced) was the tacit understanding that when clergymen or pious laypeople write, sing or speak...
Then the writers' strike hit. Season 4, which debuted to fans' and critics' raves, had to pause after eight episodes and cut two of its planned hours. Disaster, right? Wrong.

Hoare & Co., meanwhile, with neither an investment-banking unit nor any direct exposure to subprime assets, has seen cash pour in from customers seeking safety...
...While it’s easy enough to justify a site like this with a few a solid soundbites—“engaging open discussion” instead of “helping students slack off”—doubts over the legitimacy of TheFinalClub.org still remain. But the professors and TFs that one would expect to oppose the site most are highly supportive...
