Welcome to Smallville! We heard Lois is onto a big story in a small town. While Clark is spending some quality time with the family, a bridge collapsing in China forces him to speed off and save the day. As Clark explains to his sons how super hearing works, he conveniently omits the fact that he will check-in on them to make sure they are safe. After the boys catch him “spying” on them, they confront him and he promises never to listen to their conversations. After being bullied in school, Jordan joins the football team to put his bullies in their place, literally. While Johnathan remains skeptical, Jordan quickly becomes a favorite with the coach and makes amends with his former bullies. After Clark finds out Jordan joined the team, he decides to become an assistant coach to keep an eye on the boys. As it turns out, there is more to life in Smallville than puff pieces in the Gazette. After Lois attracts someone from New Carthage to expose Edge, her car is blown-up and she’s attacked in a New Carthage motel. Meanwhile, the Cushings are working through their own family problems as Sarah pulls further and further away from her parents. There seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel after Sarah and Lana have a heart-to-heart.

Welcome to Smallville! We heard the Kents were packing up and leaving the big city to see what Morgan Edge has in store for Clark’s hometown. Clark and Lois decide their family needs a change after Clark’s mother suddenly passes away and he loses his job. At the funeral, the family reconnects with the Cushings and learn that Morgan Edge is interested in Smallville. While the boys explore the barn to reset a router, Jordan falls and brings several metal poles on top of him and his brother. We later learn Jordan shielded his brother and they both survive because his powers are starting to emerge. Meanwhile, Captain Luthor is attacking nuclear power plants and General Lane discovers an inscription in Kryptonian. When he asks Clark to suit-up, Lois tells him his family needs him more. The next day, the boys snoop through the barn looking for clues about their father. They discover an alien ship and confront him. When he admits he’s Superman, they are angry at being lied to their entire lives.  While Clark beats himself up, Luthor attacks another nuclear plant. This time he leaves to confront him. While he’s fighting Luthor, John and Jordan get into a fight of their own that ends with Jordan starting a fire with his laser vision.  After a family chat, Clark and Lois decide to stay in Smallville, save the farm, and discover what Morgan Edge is really up to.   Is our Captain Luthor Alexander Luthor, Jr.?

After stealing an experimental flower laced with meteor-rock pollen from Dr. Steven Hamilton, the employee of the Luthor Corp, James Beales has a truck accident on the road and is rescued by Jonathan Kent. However, the flower releases its pollen on Jonathan's face, and he unleashes his innermost repressed desires first with Martha and his anger towards the Luthors. He enters in coma later. Then Lana becomes affected and tries to seduce Clark. Pete also becomes affected by the Nicodemus flower in the same way. While Clark helps Lex track down the source, Lex hides from Clark that Dr. Steven Hamilton is working for him, but they find the cure in an old book.

Clark and classmate Eric Summer are both struck by lightning while Eric is holding Kryptonite, and Clark's powers are transferred to Eric. While Clark experiences normal humanity, the emotionally challenged Eric goes on a rampage.

Tonight's special guest is Clark Fredericks from Newton, New Jersey, a child sex abuse survivor who suffered for years at the hands of his former Boy Scout leader, a Lt. in the local Sheriff’s Dept. Manipulated and taken advantage of both physically and emotionally for years, Clark suffered unimaginable pain for over 30 years of his life. Never wanting to feel trapped again, Clark sabotaged careers and what could have been loving relationships. He used drugs, gambling and alcohol as substitutes for healthy coping mechanisms. Then, by chance, he ran into his predator, accompanied by a young boy at his side. This chance encounter re-opened all of Clark’s repressed pain, and a confrontation later led to a struggle, and the struggle resulted in the man’s death. While Clark spent years in prison, contemplating suicide as a way out, he looked to a power greater than himself for an answer. That answer came, providing a path which would change his life forever. Clark has spent his post prison years on a mission to help others in hopes that abuse survivors and those dealing with addiction can avoid similar peril and pain. He has been instrumental as an advocate in changing the Statute of Limitations law in New Jersey for victims of sexual abuse. Clark conveys hope and healing to a multi-faceted audience. Many have discovered a road to move forward with inspiration and positivity, knowing they are not alone with the secrets of shame and horror from abuse. He speaks to groups of all kinds with the goal of helping other victims move out of the darkness of abuse and into the light of healing.

Our listeners have spoken! Our newest Patreon show will breakdown the holiday classic, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. From now until Christmas, we will release 7 episodes. The first one is free to everyone. The remaining six shows will drop weekly from now until Christmas Eve on our Patreon page. The main take away from the opening credits is a concept we call, the Griswold Effect. In our first episode, we discover “The Griswold Effect” is able make even the best of us behave like total idiots. In the opening credits, we can see how Santa Claus falls victim to this effect. We end the episode just as Clark's boss is about to talk to him about his “crunch enhancer.” The opening credits transition to Clark Griswold picking a fight with two red necks in a pickup truck. This leads to a near-death event on the road before they launch through a snowbank and into a Christmas tree lot. They then hike the frozen Yukon and find the perfect Christmas tree, without any regard for its size. Once home, it becomes obvious the tree is far too big for their living room. However, Clark insists it is perfect, even after springing the limbs free, breaking two windows in the process. While Clark and Ellen retire and he deals with sticky, sap on his hands, they begin to chat about the holidays. We learn they will be hosting each of their families for a huge holiday celebration. The next morning, we discover the main reason for Clark's actions is his hope to receive a large Christmas bonus. This detail is actually at the core of the events of the rest of the film. As we proceed throughout the next six episodes, we will break down the remainder of the movie, ending on Christmas Eve.

We startup founders and investors like to talk about “moonshots”. It points out startups that have huge dreams, those that are solving hard problems, and those that will actually change the world if they succeed. Usually, the term moonshot is used metaphorically, but today I’d like to introduce you to a literal moonshot. Takeshi Hakamada, founder and CEO of ispace, plans on landing commercial payloads on the moon in the next two years. Ispace is in the process of developing lunar landers and lunar rovers, and they plan on using the increasingly inexpensive commercial launch companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin to send them to the moon. Ispace has secured a partnership with Japan’s space agency, and they have attracted more than $90 million in investment. It’s a great conversation and I think you’ll really enjoy it. Show Notes Why Japan's space program is being privatized How a lunar lander can be commercially viable by 2020 An overview of ispace's first ten lunar missions How much it costs to put one kilogram on the moon What's worth mining on the moon What a lunar economy could look like Why lunar advertising is a possibility Links from the Founder Check out ispace Connect with Takeshi on LinkedIn [shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="7994466"] Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs. I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. “Boys, be ambitious. Be ambitious not for money or selfish aggrandizement, not for that evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for the attainment of all that a man ought to be.” That was a parting advice given in 1867 by William S. Clark to the students of what would become Hokkaido University. While Clark is not widely known in his home country of the United States, both he and the phrase “Boys, be ambitious” are legendary here in Japan. And yet so few Japanese boys or girls, for that matter, really are ambitious, at least in the way that Clark intended it. Of course, many of Japan’s most ambitious boys are girls are the very ones out there starting startups, and today, I’d like to introduce you to the most ambitious Japanese startup in existence. They are a literal moonshot company and they’ve just raised over $90 million to pursue that dream. Takeshi Hakamada, founder and CEO of ispace plans on landing commercial payloads on the moon in the next two years. Now, ispace is not making rockets like SpaceX or Blue Origin, they're creating lunar landers and lunar rovers, and they are making plans for a commercially viable lunar economy. I'll let Takeshi tell you all about it. Oh, but before I do, you should know about the Google Lunar X Prize. This was a global $25 million competition sponsored by Google and open to any companies that could land a rover on the moon and send data back to Earth. Now, no one ended up winning the main prize but Takeshi’s Hakuto project was one of the five companies from around the world that won an intermediate milestone prize. But you know, Takeshi tells that story much better than I can, so let's get right to the interview. [pro_ad_display_adzone id="1404"  info_text="Sponsored by"  font_color="grey" ] [Interview]   Tim: So we're sitting here with Takeshi Hakamada of ispace who is going to commercialize the moon with exploration mining and eventually tourism, so thanks for sitting down with me. Takeshi: Thank you for having interview with me today. Tim: I really appreciate this and I love big dreams, and I think that no company in Japan has bigger dreams than ispace. Takeshi: Really? Tim: Yeah. Well, I mean, you've recently raised $90 million for a literal moonshot. Can you explain what you're planning on doing? Takeshi: We are trying to provide a commercial transportation service to the moon in the next few years. Starting from that service,

While Clark attempts to settle in he overhears and interesting argument... Rhea realizes she's in serious trouble. Written by Colleen Scriven Performances by Colleen Scriven and David Dimitruk Music by Sounds Like An Earful

  Rhetorical Landscapes in America: Variations on a Theme from Kenneth Burke by Gregory Clark Welcome to Mere rhetoric, the podcast for beginners and insiders about the ideas, terms and movements that shaped rhetorical history. I’m Mary Hedengren and if you’ve like to get in touch with me you can email me at mererhetroicpodcast @gmail.com or tweet out atmererhetoricked. Today on Mere Rhetoric I have the weird experience of doing an episode on someone who isn’t just living, but someone who was my mentor. If you’ve ever had to do a book report on a book your teacher wrote, you understand the feeling. But I really do admire the work of Gregory Clark, especially his seminal work in Burkean Americana. Clark is was been the editor of the Rhetoric Society Quarterly for eight years and recently became the President Elect of the Rhetoric Society in America, which means, among other things, he’s responsible for the RSA conference, like the one I podcasted about earlier this summer. He also wrote a fantastic book called Rhetorical Landscapes inAmerica, that became the foundation for a lot of work that looks that the rhetoricality of things like museums, landscapes and even people. In the final chapter of Gregory Clark’s Rhetorical Landscapes in America: Variations on a Theme from Kenneth Burke, he poses the question “where are we now?” (147). We’ve certainly been many wonderful places. In Rhetorical Landscapes, Clark has packed up Kenneth Burke’s identification theory of rhetoric and applied it to the national landscapes of America. Clark suggests that our identity as Americans comes, largely, from our experiences with common landmarks. To demonstrate this power of Burke’s concept of identification, Clark has taken us through more than a century of American tourism, from New York City in the early 19th century to Shaker Country to the Lincoln Memorial Highway. We’ve been convinced by Clark of the rhetorical power of these places to create a national identity. We’ve seen how mountains and parks and even people can evoke a feeling of identification. It’s been a long, lovely ramble by the time we get to Clark’s question. Reading his words, one can’t escape the image of a wanderer who, having ambled through one delightful landscape after another finds himself suddenly disoriented as to his current location. Clark himself describes his project as “a ramble” and it is this apt description that encapsulates both the dizzying strengths of the book (147). Surely one of the most striking strengths of this ramble is the remarkable company we keep. Clark has brought the human and extremely likable specter of Kenneth Burke along for this meander through American tourism. The Burke of this book has not only provided us with the language of identification in our community of travelers to “change the identities that act and interact with common purpose;” he’s consented to come along with us (3). Clark presents Burke as one who was “himself a persistent tourist in America” (5). Burke very charmingly has written about his traveling “’go   go    going West, the wife and I/.../ “Go West, elderly couple”’” (qtd. Clark 7). When Burke’s theories of national identification are presented to us chapter-by-chapter, we enjoy their application in the presence of a critic who is not cynically immune to the process of identification, only acutely aware of it. Presented as accessibly and understandable, Clark has written us a Burke we can road trip with. If Clark has presented for us a clear, insightful and accessible version of Burke through this rambleit is because of his own remarkable prowess as a teacher. He is willing to let Burke be a fellow-traveler with us and he is willing, himself, to join us personally in the ramble. We readers are fortunate to have Clark with us, just as much as we are to have his clear explanations of what Burke would say if the deceased were alongside us. Just as Burke is not immune to the seduction of American tourism, Clark gives us ample insight into how the American landscape affected his own identification as an American as a child. In the chapter on Yellowstone, Clark describes how, as a child from “a marginal place in America” he had been taught that “America was in faraway places like New York or Washington, D. C., or Chicago or California” (69). When Clark first went to Yellowstone National Park, he noticed the variety of license plates in the parking lot and could suddenly feel “at home among all those strangers in a new sort of way—at home in America” (69). While Clark gives us every possible reason to respect him as a serious, meticulous scholar of both rhetoric and American tourism history, he never lets us forget that he, like Burke, like us, is also another tourist in awe of the places we define as quintessentially American. With knowledgeable and accessible teachers like Burke and Clark at our sides, we readers feel comfortable seeing how we, too, fit into this landscape. While the scope of the book covers the extremely formidable years of American nation-making (from the days of “these” United States to when the country is solidly coalesced into “the” United States), the institutions then established are still foremost in the psyche of Americans of all generations. Readers of Rhetorical Landscapes in America will be hard-pressed to read a chapter without immediately applying the Burkean theories to their own individual experiences with these ensigns of American identity. Have you been to NYC? Have you been told that you have to see Yellowstone? All of these places are part of how we structure our American identity. Where are we going? Working topically, vaguely chronologically, Clark and Burke accompany us through New York City, Shaker country, Yellowstone, The Lincoln Highway, the Panama-Pacific world’s fair and the Grand Canyon. It’s almost like a car game on a long road trip: okay, what do these six things have in common? While each of these locations lead themselves to a deeper understanding of what it means to be a touring American (eg, in the chapter Shaker country we discover how guides to the region have lead to identification “not with the Shakers, but with the other touring Americans who gather to wonder at the spectacle the Shakers create” and thus objectified Shakers), (52). Including a city, a people, a park, a road, an event and a building in a park could arguably be a way to expand the definition of the “landscape.” Why are we rambling through these American landscapes with Burke and Clark, after all? The argument appears to be, after all, to situate a Big Rhetoric theory of identification into a series of Big Rhetoric artifacts—so big, in fact, that it includes mountains and highways. Those who are resistant to wholeheartedly adopting Burke’s expansion of rhetoric to include not just persuasion, but also identification, will find Clark’s scope of artifacts as unconvincing; those who are frosty towards opening the canon of rhetoric past the spoken word, and past the written word into the very land we travel will bristle at the idea of giving something as Big Rhetoric as a city, a people, a landscape a “meaning.” These two groups of reader are by-and-large impervious to the convincing and meticulous readings that Clark provides of these locations. They’ve already made up their minds and aren’t likely to change them, despite the quality of Clark’s argument. Clark and Burke are observant, meticulous and personable traveling companions, This is an excellent book, one that opens up rhetoric to more than just written texts, but something that can encompass views and groups of people as well. I love thinking about the implications of place on national identity and I’m not the only one: scholars from Diane Davis to Ekaterina Haskin have taken up the idea of how a tour of places and spaces and people can create an argument for national identity. So when you come back from your summer vacation this year, think about not just what you saw, but who it made you become.    

Despite having a great career and a loving family, lawyer John Clark (Richard Gere) is missing something in his life as he meanders listlessly from day to day.
