While the ancient Egyptians - and later the Greeks - viewed the heart as the soul's throne, the Old Testament solidified it as the body's intellectual center, or its nexus of rational thought. With the decree "Love the Lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might," the Old Testament also brought the heart a new master. The bequeathing of man's metaphorical heart to God meant that earthly love was to be viewed as base, a betrayal of man's obligation to his one true Lord. It wasn't until nearly 1,000 years later, when the troubadour William LX, Duke of Aquitaine (1071-1127) began singing bawdy tales of courtly love between the sexes, that man again wrested his heart from God's clutches to be offered up in the earthly world. This notion of courdy love - ...

An economic impact assessment alone cannot justify public support for hosting mega-sporting events. A cost-benefit analysis in order to measure the net social utility for the population is also relevant. Nevertheless, if there is always a high demand of economic impact studies by public authorities before hosting an event, the cost-benefit studies are never made, so there is a high risk to make decisions that are not rational. In this paper, to take into account simultaneously the economic impact and the social utility of mega-sporting events, we propose a legitimacy test we illustrate with the example of the Rugby World Cup 2007 in France.

At first glance, Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood," starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, may seem like a most unrealistic treatment of the outlaw of Sherwood Forest. A $200 million production filled with CGI warriors and ersatz ancient castles made of fiberglass, Scott and Crowe's "Robin Hood" in some ways resembles Scott and Crowe's "Gladiator," but without the togas. On the other hand, "Robin Hood" ($29.98 single-disc DVD, $34.98 two-disc and $39.98 Blu-ray combo pack; Universal Studios) contains scenes and images that are remarkably true to medieval life. Crowe, who produced the film along with Scott and Brian Grazer, isn't exaggerating when he says on the DVD documentary "Rise and Rise Again: Making Ridley Scott's 'Robin Hood,' " that his film is "historically accurat...

In 1979 Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, a feminist banquet, was first exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The installation featured three long tables arranged in a triangle and place settings for 39 women -- including Sappho, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Georgia O'Keeffe. Dozens of assistants made the table runners, which incorporated elaborate needlework. Each plate was painted and some were sculpted into Chicago's symbolic representation of the honored woman. Almost all of the plates' designs resembled female genitalia. The overall design included elements that were dainty, decorative, and ugly. The work offended both those who expected art to be uplifting and beautiful and those wanted art to be cool and intellectual. Many critics called Chicago's ...
