Target Warning Rings True: Q4 Was Meaningfully Weak
Target (NYSE:TGT) warned investors that December's data breach would hurt fourth-quarter results, and management was right. For the three-month period that included the consumer spending-heavy holiday season, the retailer's net profit almost halved as a result of the massive data breach that affected tens of millions of customers. The company also warned that the fallout resulting from the incident could even hurt future profits. Yet Target did manage to top the profit expectations of Wall Street, a sign that the second-largest U.S. discount retailer has started to regain customer loyalty.
"For more than 50 years Target has succeeded by focusing on our guests," Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel said in the earnings press release. "During the first half of the fourth quarter, our guest-focused holiday merchandising and marketing plans drove better-than-expected sales. However, results softened meaningfully following our December announcement of a data breach."
As part of Steinhafel's efforts to draw shoppers back into stores after it was revealed that hackers stole the personal data and credit card information of millions of customers, Target offered weekend of 10 percent discounts in December and a year of free credit monitoring. The chief executive believes those efforts have begun to pay off. "As we plan for the new fiscal year, we will continue to work tirelessly to win back the confidence of our guests and deliver irresistible merchandise and offers, and we are encouraged that sales trends have improved in recent weeks," he said.

RUMFORD — The Board of Selectmen will be holding a public hearing at 6 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Rumford Auditorium prior to the selectmen's meeting at 7 p.m. to give residents the opportunity to discuss the upcoming Aug. 27 budget vote.
The proposed municipal budget was initially rejected by voters June 11. Then, eight of 12 budget articles were rejected July 23, forcing the selectmen and the Finance Committee to regroup and submit new recommendations.
The new budget recommendations that residents will vote for on Aug. 27 are as follows:
* $655,000 for the Fire Department
* $738,774 for the Police Department
* $922,030 for Public Works
* $652,683 for Public Safety
* $78,000 for General Assistance
* $799,080 for General Government
* $423,000 for Capital Accounts
* $1,390,700 for Unclassified Accounts
Because Rumford splits its recommendations between selectmen and the Finance Committee, a minority vote for neither recommendation can decide the matter if it tops both numbers. That's what happened with eight articles during the July 23 vote.
Unlike the previous budget recommendations, the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee agreed upon the same recommendations for the Aug. 27 vote.
During the 7 p.m. selectmen meeting, the board will entertain a request from Envision Rumford to close Exchange Street between Congress Street and River Street for the Crossroads International Celtic Festival Street Fair on Sept. 14.
The Crossroads International Celtic Festival is a five-day celebration of Celtic music in Franklin and Oxford counties. The festival will consist of live music, dances, visual art, a number of different outdoor events and community meals.

Things I liked:This is a very good copy of the 1930 Mauser. Except that it is not full auto. The gun is a little light compared to the real pistol. The gun handles well both one handed and if a two hand grip is used. Very accurate I get quarter sized groups once I figured out the sight picture, Blow back is crisp but very fast.
Things I would have changed:It would cost a lot more but a full metal version with a working full auto position would be even more fun to shoot. Include a spare magazine it would fit in the box nicely. The loading process is slow but no worse then then my old Crossman 357 trooper pellet gun.
What others should know:Buy a spare Magazine, This pistol is very fun to shoot, The loading process is slow,
Things I liked:Action works like the real Firearm
Things I would have changed:A metal receiver and finish the slot in the back and make available a shoulder stock You might want to even make a select fire model semi & full Also a Carbine model would be nice with an 8 inch barrel forgrip and rifle stock
What others should know:Only Use New Co2 in this pistol if You have older Co2 it may not cycle
CO2 in sealed containers will hold for many decades. I asked airgun writer Tom Gaylord about your comment, and he said he bought a used CO2 gun with CO2 containers that he knows were at least 40 years old, and the CO2 was still sealed and properly powered the gun without any issues.
Things I liked:The heft, the feel in the hand. It has a fast and snappy blowback, but it is mild compared to some other CO2 BB pistols with blowback. The trigger is pretty good, with a short, light first stage followed by a short, crisp medium weight second stage. The accuracy from 25 feet or less is very good compared with most other BB pistols, especially if you brace it with your off hand grasping the magazine. It is slightly less loud than other CO2 BB guns. Loading BBs is easy and straightforward. I'm still on the first CO2 powerlet and I've probably already shot it 60 times, so for a blowback pistol, it is economical on the gas. Speaking of gas, this is a GAS to shoot. A great plinker.
Things I would have changed:Even though I am VERY experienced with CO2 powerlets and did everything properly, the pistol did lose maybe 10 percent of the gas as I tightened the twist screw to charge the gun. I have done this only once so far with this pistol, but I have a strong feeling this will be the case each time.
What others should know:Much of it is durable plastic, but it does not look or feel like plastic. It looks and feels like the real thing. Eventually I think I will purchase two more of the BB/CO2 magazines. They are expensive, but by the time you've gone through a magazine of BBs, the gun is cold enough that changing out the mag for a warm one would improve the performance. The CO2 stays in the magazine when you take the unit out for reloading BBs, and waiting ten minutes for everything to warm up as you shoot with the other mags and then reload with more BBs should eliminate much of the "cold gun" problem associated with CO2.

To the Ambassador of Israel
On Thursday, 10 April, H.E. Mr. Aharon Lopez, Ambassdor of Israel to the Holy See, presented his Letters of Credence to the Holy Father. The following is the text of the Popes English language address to the new ambassador. (excerpted)
The Holy See and the Catholic Church as a whole are deeply committed to co-operating with the State of Israel "in combating all forms of anti-Semitism and all kinds of racism and of religious intolerance, and in promoting mutual understanding among nations, tolerance among communities and respect for human life and dignity" (Fundamental Agreement, article 2, §1). There can be no question that in these areas more can be done and must be done. It is precisely such renewed efforts that will give to the Greet Jubilee of the Year 2000 a truly universal significance, not limited to Catholics or Christians but embracing all peoples in every part of the world. I am confident that the Israeli authorities, and their Palestinian counterparts, will do all they can to ensure that those who come to visit the historic and holy places connected with the three great monotheistic faiths will be welcomed in a spirit of respect and friendship. It is my own fervent hope to be among those making such a pilgrimage, and I am grateful for the kind invitations which I continue to receive

Palm Sunday Address to
Pope John Paul used the Palm Sunday celebration, which fell in 1994 on the same weekend as the Jewish Passover, to invite people "to pause spiritually" at the site of "the temple of God's covenant with Jerusalem."
"Only a modest fragment of this remains," he said. "It is called the Wailing Wall because before its stones the children of Israel gather, recalling the greatness of the ancient sanctuary in which God made his dwelling and which rightly was the pride of all Israel."
The wall, he said, "is eloquent for the children of Israel. It is also eloquent for us because we know that in this temple God truly established his dwelling." [Catholic News Service]

Address to Jewish Leaders in Miami
7. Necessary for any sincere dialogue is the intention of each partner to allow others to define themselves "in the light of their own religious experience" [1974 Guidelines, Introduction]. In fidelity to this affirmation, Catholics recognize among the elements of the Jewish experience that Jews have a religious attachment to the land, which finds its roots in Biblical tradition.
After the tragic extermination of the Shoah, the Jews began a new period in their history. They have a right to a homeland, as does any civil nation, according to international law. "For the Jewish people who live in the State of Israel and who preserve in that land such precious testimonies to their history and their faith, we must ask for the desired security and the due tranquility that is the prerogative of every nation and condition of life and of progress for every society" [Apostolic Letter on Jerusalem Redemptionis Anno, April 20, 1984].
This land was sanctified by the One Gods revelation to men; it continues to bear the mark and does not cease to be a place of inspiration for those who can make a pilgrimage there.
(Speech welcoming Shmuel Hadas, the first ambassador of Israel to the Holy See, September 29, 1994)
Letter of Pope John Paul II
On numerous occasions during my Pontificate I have recalled with a sense of deep sorrow the sufferings of the Jewish people during the Second World War. The crime which ahs become known as the Shoah remains an indelible stain on the history of the century that is coming to a close.
As we prepare for the beginning of the Third Millennium of Christianity, the Church is aware that the joy of a Jubilee is above all the joy that is based on the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God and neighbour. Therefore she encourages her sons and daughters to purify their hearts, through repentance of past errors and infidelities. She calls them to place themselves humbly before the Lord and examine themselves on the responsibility which they too have for the evils of our time.
Pastoral Visit
Address to Jewish Leaders in Warsaw
I think that today the nation of Israel, perhaps more than ever before, finds itself at the center of the attention of the nations of the world, above all because of this terrible experience, through which you have become a loud warning voice for all humanity, for all nations, all the powers of this world, all systems and every person. More than anyone else, it is precisely you who have become this saving warning. I think that in this sense you continue your particular vocation, showing yourselves to be still the heirs of that election to which God is faithful. This is your mission in the contemporary world before the peoples, the nations, all of humanity, the Church. And in this Church all peoples and nations feel united to you in this mission. Certainly they give great prominence to your nation and its sufferings, its Holocaust, when they wish to speak a warning to individuals and to nations; in your name, the Pope, too, lifts up his voice in this warning. The Polish Pope has a particular relationship with all this, because, along with you, he has in a certain sense lived all this here, in this land.
Letter to Archbishop
As I said recently in Warsaw, it is precisely by reason of this terrible experience that the nation of Israel, her sufferings and her Holocaust are today before the eyes of the Church, of all peoples and of all nations, as a warning, a witness and a silent cry. Before the vivid memory of the extermination, as recounted to us by the survivors and by all Jews now living, and as it is continually offered for our meditation within the narration of the Pesah Haggadah -- as Jewish families are accustomed to do today -- it is not permissible for anyone to pass by with indifference. Reflection upon the Shoah shows us to what terrible consequences the lack of faith in God and a contempt for man created in his image can lead. It also impels us to promote the necessary historical and religious studies on this event which concerns the whole of humanity today.
On the Occasion of the
Message to the Polish Episcopal Conference
...In this message the Pope called attention to the crime of the extermination of the Jews:
...It is truly difficult to calculate the magnitude of the losses suffered, and even more, of the sufferings which were inflicted upon individuals, families and communities. Many facts are already known; many more must yet be brought to light. One particular crime of World War II remains the massive extermination of the Jews, who were doomed to the gas chambers because of racial hatred...
Apostolic Letter
In one section of this apostolic letter, the Pope called attention to the persecution of the Jews.
...Among all these antihuman measures, however, there is one which will forever remain a shame for humanity: the planned barbarism which was unleashed against the Jewish people.
As the object of the "Final Solution" devised by an erroneous ideology, the Jews were subjected to deprivations and brutalities that are almost indescribable. Persecuted at first through measures designed to harass and discriminate, they were ultimately to die by the millions in extermination camps.
The Jews of Poland, more than others, lived this immense suffering: The images of the Warsaw Ghetto under siege, as well as what we have come to learn about the camps at Auschwitz, Majdanek and Treblinka, surpass in horror anything that can be humanly imagined.
I wish to repeat here in the strongest possible way that hostility and hatred against Judaism are in complete contradiction to the Christian vision of human dignity.
Address the New Ambassador
of the
On November 8, the Holy Father received H. E. Hans-Joachim Hallier, the new Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Holy See. This is a translation of a passage of the Pope's address in German.
In this context we should also mention the tragedy of the Jews. For Christians the heavy burden of guilt for the murder of the Jewish people must be an enduring call to repentance; thereby we can overcome every form of anti-Semitism and establish a new relationship with our kindred nation of the Old Covenant. The Church, "mindful of her common patrimony with the Jews, and motivated by the Gospels' spiritual love and by no political considerations, . . . deplores the hatred, persecutions and displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and from any source" (Vatican II, Declaration Nostra Aetate, No. 4). Guilt should not oppress and lead to self-agonizing thoughts, but must always be the point of departure for

Reflections After Mass in Wadowice
Before the celebrations in Czestochowa, the Holy Father went to his hometown of Wadowice, where he celebrated Mass, consecrating the new parish church named in honor of St. Peter. At the end of the Mass in Wadowice, the Pope added the following brief remarks:
Nor can I forget that among our classmates in the school of Wadowice and in its high school there were those who belonged to the Mosaic religion; they are no longer with us, just as there is no longer the old synagogue next to the high school. When a stone was found in the place where the synagogue used to be, I sent a special letter through one of our classmates. In it we find the following words: "The Church, and in her all peoples and nations, are united with you. Certainly first of all your people feel your suffering, your destruction -- here we recall how close it is to Auschwitz -- when they want to speak to the individuals and people, and to all of mankind, to admonish them. In your name this warning cry is also raised by the Pope, and the Pope who comes from Poland has a special reason for this because, in a certain way, he experienced all this with you in our homeland ."
Reflections on the Fiftieth
Jews from around the world gathered in Poland in April 1993 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto. The Holy Father sent a message to Archbishop Józef Kowalczyk, Apostolic Nuncio in Poland, to be transmitted to the Coordinating Commission of the Hebrew Organizations in Poland. The following is the text of the Pope's message, which was written in English:
As the fiftieth anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising approaches, together with the whole Church, I wish to remember those terrible days of World War II, days of contempt for the human person, manifested in the horror of the sufferings endured at that time by so many of our Jewish brothers and sisters.
It is with profound grief that we call to mind what happened then, and indeed all that happened then, and indeed all that happened in the long black night of the Shoah. We remember, and we need to remember, but we need to remember with renewed trust in God and in his all-healing blessing.
Reflections at the Concert at
"Among those who are with us this evening are some who physically underwent a horrendous experience, crossing a dark wilderness where the very source of love seemed dried up," Pope John Paul II said in remarks at the conclusion of a concert in the Vatican's audience hall to commemorate the Shoah, or Holocaust. The concert took place on the day when Jews throughout the world remember the Holocaust victims. Earlier in the day, the Pope met with a group of Jewish leaders and others who helped organize the concert.
2. Thus we are gathered this evening to commemorate the Holocaust of millions of Jews. The candles lit by some of the survivors are intended to show symbolically that this hall does not have narrow limits. It contains all the victims: fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and friends. In our memory they are all present, they are with you, they are with us.
We have a commitment, the only one perhaps that can give meaning to every tear shed by man because of man and to justify it.
We have seen with our eyes, we were and are witnesses of violence and hatred, which are kindled in the world all too often and consume it.
We have seen and we see peace derided, brotherhood mocked, harmony ignored, mercy scorned.
Address to the
4. I also wish to address a particular greeting to the Jewish community represented here. Your presence is an eloquent expression of the fraternal dialogue aimed at a better understanding between Jews and Catholics, and which, promoted by the Second Vatican Council, continues to be ever more widespread. With you we share a common spiritual patrimony, firmly rooted in the Sacred Scriptures. May God, the Creator and Saviour, sustain our efforts to walk together and, encouraged by the divine word, may we grow in worship and fervent love of him. May all of this ever find expression in effective action for the benefit of each and every person.
Letter to the Latin-Rite
The Holy Father wrote a Letter to the Latin-rite Diocese of Jerusalem to mark the 150th anniversary of Pope Pius IXs reorganization of that see. The Pope called on Catholics to prepare in every way to celebrate the coming Holy Year. Here is a translation of those paragraphs of his letter pertaining to relations with the Jews.
Regarding the ties with those who belong to the Jewish religion it should be recalled that Jews and Christians have a common heritage which links them spiritually (cf. Gn 12:2-3), to the extent that they work together so that peace and justice prevail among all people and all individuals and do so in fullness and in depth, according to the divine plan and in the spirit of sacrifice which this noble project can demand.
To Symposium on "The Roots of
On Friday, 31 October, the Holy Father received the Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox scholars attending a symposium on "The Roots of Anti-Judaism in the Christian Milieu," sponsored by the Historical-Theological Commission of the Committee for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000. "The Church firmly condemns all forms of genocide, as well as the racist theories that have inspired them and have claimed to justify them Racism thus a negation of the deepest identity of the human being, who is a person created in the image and likeness of God," the Pope told the group of 60 scholars.
Here is a translation of his address, which was given in French. (excerpted)
The subject of your symposium is the correct theological interpretation of the relations between the Church of Christ and the Jewish people. The Councils Declaration Nostra Aetate laid the foundations for this and I myself, in exercising my Magisterium, have had occasion several times to speak on them. In fact, in the Christian world -- I do not say on the part of the Church as such -- erroneous and unjust interpretations of the New Testament regarding the Jewish people and their alleged culpability have circulated for too long, engendering feelings of hostility towards this people. They contributed to the lulling of consciences, so that when the wave of persecutions inspired by a pagan anti-Semitism, which in essence is equivalent to an anti-Christianity, swept across Europe, alongside Christians who did everything to save the persecuted even at the risk of their lives, the spiritual resistance of many was not what humanity rightfully expected from the disciples of Christ. Your lucid examination of the past, in view of a purification of memory, is particularly appropriate for clearly showing that anti-Semitism has no justification and is absolutely reprehensible.
Historic Visit to
On Sunday, April 13, the Holy Father made his historic visit to the Synagogue in Rome. After an address of welcome by Prof. Giacomo Saban, President of the Jewish Community of Rome, Chief Rabbi Elio Toaff then spoke. In reply, the Holy Father gave the following address:
I would like once more to express a word of abhorrence for the genocide decreed against the Jewish people during the last War, which led to the Holocaust of millions of innocent victims.
"Relations with
At the general audience in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday, June 5, the Holy Father resumed his series of talks on faith and revelation after a reading from the Book of Revelation [21:23-26]. While speaking of non-Christian religions in general, the Pope singled out the Church's "special relationship" with the Jewish people. The pertinent section, 6 follows:
6. A special relationship--with non-Christian religions--is the one that the Church has with those who profess faith in the Old Testament, the heirs of the patriarchs and prophets of Israel. The Council in fact recalls "the spiritual bond linking the people of the New Covenant with Abraham's stock" [Nostra Aetate, 4].
Second Angelicum
The second international Catholic-Jewish scholars' colloquium, like the first, was held at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum). The Pope's statement lists the sponsors of both colloquia. There follows here the statement of Nathan Perlmutter, director of the Anti-Defamation League, and then the response and welcoming statement of the Pope during his audience with the participants.
Theological reflection is part of the proper response of human intelligence and so gives witness to our conscious acceptance of God's gift. At the same time, the other human sciences, such as history, philosophy and art, also offer their own contribution to an organic deepening of our faith. This is why both the Jewish and Christian traditions have always had such high appreciation for religious study. Honoring our respective traditions, theological dialogue based on sincere esteem can contribute greatly to mutual knowledge of our respective patrimonies of faith and can help us to be more aware of our links with one another in terms of our understanding of salvation.
Homily at Mass Marking
During the Homily the Pope recalled his visit to the synagogue:
There is one other event which transcends the limits of the year, since it is measured in centuries and millennia in the history of this city and of this Church. I thank Divine Providence that I was able to visit our "elder brothers" in the faith of Abraham in their Roman Synagogue! Blessed be the God of our fathers! The God of peace!
Letter to Archbishop
There is no doubt that the sufferings endured by the Jews are also for the Catholic Church a motive of sincere sorrow, especially when one thinks of the indifference and sometimes resentment which, in particular; historical circumstances, have divided Jews and Christians. Indeed, this evokes in us still firmer resolutions to cooperate for justice and true peace.
Address to Representatives
The following passage was included in the Pope's address:
...Holy Scripture nourishes faith, strengthens ecclesial unity and is an important element of our common spiritual patrimony with Abraham's stock, our Jewish brothers and sisters...
Address to Jewish Community
On Sunday morning June 9, the Holy Father met with members of the Jewish community who reside in Poland. They were presented by Bishop Henryk Muszynski of Wloclawek, president of the Episcopal Commission for Dialogue with Jews. The Holy Father then gave the following address:
1. Meetings with the representatives of the Jewish communities constitute a constant element of my apostolic journeys. This fact possesses its own meaning. It emphasizes a unique common faith, which connects the children of Abraham, who confess the religion of Moses and the prophets to those who also acknowledge Abraham as their "father in faith" (John 8:39) and accept in Christ, "son of Abraham and son of David" (cf. Matt. 1:1), the entire rich heritage of Moses and the prophets as well.
General Audience: Against
During the general audience on October 28, the Holy Father spoke out against recent expressions of anti-Semitism and xenophobia. The Pope spoke in Italian as follows:
I would now like to express a word of fraternal solidarity to the members of the Jewish people. Today, in fact, is the anniversary of the promulgation of Vatican II's Declaration Nostra Aetate on the Church's relations with non-Christian religions, and in a special way with the descendants of "Abraham's stock." In addition, last week marked the close of the solemn festivities for the beginning of the year according to the Jewish calendar with the celebration of Simhath Torah, the Exultation for the [divine] Law."
I mention these facts as I bear in my heart the sadness over reports of attacks and profanations which for some time have been offending the memory of the victims of the Shoah in the very places which witnessed the suffering of millions of innocent people. As the Council teaches, and as I myself repeated in the Synagogue of Rome, the Church "deplores all hatreds, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism leveled at any time or from any source against the Jews" [Nostra Aetate, n. 4].
More generally, in the face of the recurrent episodes of xenophobia, racial tension and extreme, fanatical nationalism, I feel it is my duty to emphasize that every form of racism is a sin against God and humanity, since every human person bears the stamp of the divine image.
Address to German
On Friday November 14, the Holy Father received the first group of German Bishops on their visit Ad Limina Apostolorum. The bishops of the Berlin region are the pastors of the Church in the new federal states, the territory formerly included in the German Democratic Republic. This was their first visit since the "change," the word which Germans use to refer to the collapse of Communism and the unification of Germany, and the Holy Father took advantage of the occasion to look at their past and their present challenges, emphasizing especially the need for protecting Jews, and other minority groups, and working with others in overcoming past divisions.
Therefore, I make this urgent plea to you to be committed to the protection of your Jewish fellow citizens. The desecration of synagogues and the profanation of the memorials that have meant so much to Jews throughout their sorrowful history can never be condoned. The Fathers of the Second Vatican Council were aware of the special relationship between Christians and Jews, as they expressed it in their Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions: "Since Christians and Jews have such a common spiritual heritage, this sacred Council wishes to encourage and further mutual understanding and appreciation. This can be obtained, especially, by way of biblical and theological enquiry and through friendly discussions" (Nostra Aetate, n. 4). You should therefore make your contribution so that your Jewish fellow citizens do not become discouraged, and that they remain in your land, which is also their homeland, and continue to participate in its religious, cultural and scientific life....
Address to Young
On Friday, July 2, the Holy Father received a group of Jewish and Christian young people who were on pilgrimage together to Rome and Jerusalem. The Pope addressed them in English, congratulating them on their efforts to promote understanding among people of monotheistic faiths.
Together you are going up to Jerusalem, the City of Peace," a "symbol of coming together, of union and of universal peace for the human family" [Apostolic Letter on the City of Jerusalem, April 20, 1984). Your pilgrimage is one more hopeful sign of the cooperation which the world of today needs so desperately from believers [cf. Message for the World Day of Peace, 1992, No. 1]. Through such deeds of solidarity may the power of the Lord of all righteousness triumph over the antagonisms of the past and the strife of the present, so that in the days to come all men and women will live together in mutual concord and respect.
Interview in Parade
...It must be understood that Jews, who for 2,000 years were dispersed among the nations of the world, had decided to return to the land of their ancestors. This is their right.
And this right is recognized even by those who look upon the nation of Israel with an unsympathetic eye. This right was also recognized from the outset by the Holy See, and the act of establishing diplomatic relations with Israel is simply an international affirmation of this relationship.
We trust, that with the approach of the year 2000, Jerusalem will become the city of peace for the entire world and that all the people will be able to meet there, in particular the believers in the religions that find their birthright in the faith of Abraham.
Audience with Delegation
On September 29, Pope John Paul II received a delegation from the Anti-Defamation League at his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo. Their visit immediately followed the presentation of credentials by the first Ambassador of Israel to the Vatican. David H. Strassler, ADL national chairman, addressed His Holiness, who then responded.
These convictions lie behind the following words which I wrote on the occasion of the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto: "As Christians and Jews, following the example of the faith of Abraham, we are called to be a blessing for the world [cf. Gen. 12:2]. This is the common task awaiting us. It is therefore necessary for us, Christians and Jews, to be first a blessing to one another. This will effectively occur if we are united in the face of evils which are still threatening: indifference and prejudice, as well as displays of anti-Semitism" [April 21, 1993].
Was it not the bond of friendship which in many cases during the terrible days of the past inspired the courage of Christians who helped their Jewish brothers and sisters, even at the cost of their own lives? Truly, nobody has greater love than the one who lays down his life for his friends [cf. John 15:13]. Friendship stands against exclusion and makes people stand together in the face of threat.
Let our friendship, strengthened by our respect for divine Providence, bring us ever closer, for the good of the whole world.

Fish rots from the head and all that.
Let's begin:
The LHC Review
Selection policy
- Series squads and the final 12 before each Test is to be exclusively selected by a three-man national selection panel. Captain and coach may confer to decide the final eleven on the day. This avoids a conflict of interest between captain/coach personal relationships with the players, and the captain is freed up to bond with his players accordingly without concern for their Test place.
- John Inverarity to take mandatory Alzheimers' tests before the commencement of each home summer. Cost-efficient alternative would be to sack him and bring back Merv.
- Pat Howard to be summarily dismissed as high performance coach, given that his sole discernible role is to be a circuit-breaker of accountability between the administration and team results. He has officially broken that circuit. All freed up funds from his salary to be rerouted, along with some of CA's Channel 9 windfall, into a generous offer to hire Craig McDermott back as bowling coach.
- James Sutherland on notice, sacking if evidence of coverups of further player indiscretions.
- Mickey Arthur to be subject to anonymous player surveys after each series. This could be when Mickey Arthur learns we're pretty serious in this Australian cricket team.
- Michael Di Venuto to be sacked as batting coach. Look, mate, you're doing something wrong. Equally generous offer to be given to Steve Waugh on the grounds of being able to bat a bit and be an ominous influence around the young bucks.
- Steve Rixon's role to be restructured as wicketkeeping coach. Seriously, he's our spin bowling guru?
- Neil D'Costa is not to be allowed within 100 metres of Phil Hughes at any time he is holding a cricket bat.
- CA central contracts to be dramatically restructured. All retainer salaries to be capped at $200,000. Freed up funds are pooled into an incentive system of $100 per run, $2,500 per wicket, and $500 per wicketkeeper dismissal. Therefore, every underperformance is bankrolling development and incentives for other, better players.
- Match fees will remain the same. 50% bonus provided by CA in the event of a win.
- All central contracts are for one year only.
Social policy
- No dickheads policy in squad selection. All dissenters free to become T20 mercenaries that nobody gives a **** about.
- Sports psychologist to be a permanent fixture in team retinue.
- Regular voluntary programs to teach mindfulness and concentration, to combat performance anxiety and fortify mental strength.
- All players failing skinfold tests to field exclusively on the boundary.
- Self-assessment questionnaire to be completed after every defeat. Designated team meeting to quietly fill them out so nobody forgets.
- No alcohol consumption within 48 hours of an international defeat, or 24 hours prior to an international fixture.
- Mandatory boot camp ala 06/07 Ashes before each major series. Desensitization to extreme stress and discomfort is the objective.
- Free Cricket Science 101 textbook explaining the science behind physiology of pace bowling, weight transference/balance/footwork in batting, conventional swing, reverse swing and spin bowling (including drift).
- Absolute non-negotiable ban on appearing in Swisse Ultivite ads. Has worrying correlations with a terminal decline in players' careers (see Ponting, R; Johnson, M).
Domestic cricketing structure
- Fees for first-class matches (excluding Tests) to be heavily subsidized. Children, students and pensioners given free admission.
- No changes to Big Bash or Ryobi Cup schedules. Concerns are overblown IMO.
- Groundsmen encouraged to prepare slightly more batsman-friendly pitches for non-Test games. Notice since the 'green policy' we have ridiculous depth in fast bowlers and a generation of paranoid batsmen?
- Domestic Shield final to be timeless.
- Introduction of nationally televised reality show "Australia's Next Top Cricketer" to foster national interest. All male and female cricketers of at least first-grade standard encouraged to apply. Objective is not to actually find the next top cricketer but to glamorise the sport to new demographics. If they're actually any good that's a bonus.
- Roy and HG to commentate once a year in a Big Bash game.

"Art can not exist in the absence of design. Art is well-conceived and well-crafted. It achieves a mission, and through it the artist causes her audience to experience a shift in perspective. Design — even when its principles are applied intuitively and unconsciously — is inherent in the process of assessing and responding to all constraints, the media employed, the methods of work, refinement of vision, through to execution and presentation of the finished work. And design is so little talked about, so poorly understood, so frequently denigrated that it took me fifty years to recognize that design is the unifying field of my life's work."
A short trip inside the mind of a designer who successfully develops works in the seemingly disparate fields of photography, computer software, art, landscape, furniture, and music, "Connecting the Dots", by tracing details, puzzles, questions, observations and intentions as they inform a body of work, illuminates the art of design.

Blake Lively to Play Carrie Bradshaw in 'Carrie Diaries'?
Blake as a younger Sarah Jessica Parker?
Have you read the prequel to Sex and the City, The Carrie Diaries? It was an adorable book about Carrie Bradshaw's young life before she comes to New York City and meets her best friends forever. It's being made into a movie and it sounds like Blake Lively could be up for the lead role.
Read: Or Do You Think Miley Cyrus Would Make a Better Young Carrie Bradshaw?
I can definitely see Blake Lively as a younger Carrie Bradshaw. She is super stylish, beautiful, and youthful-looking. And I guess she could pass for a young Sarah Jessica Parker. The only problem? The Carrie Diaries mainly takes place when Carrie Bradshaw is in high school... And though I know Blake Lively played a high school girl on Gossip Girl, do you think the 23-year-old is just too old now? I'm sure she'll find a way to pull it off.
Not to mention, it could be possible that producers are planning to change the book a bit and adapt it to the big-screen. Because a source is telling Grazia magazine, "The prequel is about breathing new life into the story and exploring Carrie's first few months in NYC and the beginning of her relationship with an older man.".
I wonder what else they'll be changing in the book. After all, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha don't really make appearances in the book version since Carrie doesn't meet them until she gets to the city. But will the movie add them in anyway?
Read: There Won't Be Another Sex and the City Movie Sequel
And furthermore, does the world really want another Sex and the City movie? The sequel to the first movie didn't do so well in theaters, which is why there won't be a Sex and the City 3. So, is a prequel with different characters playing the familiar roles really in demand? I'm sure I'll watch it, but I don't know how it will do in theaters.
Are you excited to learn Blake Lively could be playing a young Carrie Bradshaw? I think she'll do an amazing job in the role and I can't wait to see what she's wearing!

Welcome back. In today's episode, there's a serial killer on the loose...in CSI: Balamory! [/joke that will only really make much sense to Brits]. I hope I'm not the only one who basically exploded laughing at the indescribable picture of Mangled-Face-Stormtrooper Ian White, who looks like he was a Goldeneye character removed very (very very very) early on in the development process for being just too freaky. Also, who knew Alex Steen was a Manchester City fan? I can safely say I have progressed beyond general dislike for the man and now actively hope he flames out in St. Louis, the money-grabbing bastard.
So, 2003. A draft year like any other, it seemed at the time - Pittsburgh made what some thought an odd choice, taking goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury from the QMJHL at #1, but much as some people might have wanted a do-over in the years where Fleury stumbled and guys like Eric Staal flourished, it's working out for the Pens now, something I'm sure has absolutely nothing to do with the presence of that one guy, what's-his-face...y'know, Concussy St. Falldown. Time has proven kind to the 2003 first round in particular, with even Hugh Jessiman getting to appear in a game, so it makes a kind of twisted, narratively-horrible sense that Toronto didn't appear until midway through the second round. Our first-round pick went to Boston, as the final horrible part of the Owen Nolan trade, and it's a small mercy they picked Mark Stuart rather than...Christ, imagine what the Bruins'd be like with Ryan Kesler or Mike Richards in the squad. Our second-round pick was #57, which is where we jump in.
Buckle up. This one's a doozy.
Round 2, #57 Overall - John DOHERTY
Not to suggest that all players drafted from unconventional sources will turn out to be utter shite, but Doherty was picked out of Phillips-Andover, a school whose hockey pedigree doesn't appear to be the greatest and that I would assume plays at a level of competition significantly below what Doherty would later experience at college or in the USHL. After leaving school, he spent two seasons with the University of New Hampshire where, in a sign things probably weren't going to pan out for him, he appeared in just nineteen games. He managed nearly forty playing with Des Moines in the USHL, but then appeared to drop off the radar entirely for two years, resurfacing with Quinnipac University in 2006. To this day, the six games he played with the Columbia Inferno - once Toronto's ECHL affiliate - remain the highest point of his career. And that's terrible.
Still On The Board: Maxim Lapierre (61), David Backes (62), Jimmy Howard (64)
Verdict: Setting the tone for the rest of this draft, Doherty was a horrible pick. Phillips-Andover might not be as bad as I've painted it - it appears Shattuck-St. Mary's is considered on the same level, and you could make a hell of a starting lineup from their alumni - but Doherty remains a prime example of why drafting out of high school is a giant crapshoot.
Round 3, #91 Overall - Martin SAGAT
Purely from a punning perspective I'm disappointed Sagat never appeared in the NHL. Imagine if he turned out to be a gifted fighter, like a proper old-school enforcer, we'd have delighted ourselves riffing on Street Fighter puns until the end of time. He gets a game misconduct for a questionable hit? TIGER KNEE-ON-KNEE! He KOs Matt Carkner? TIGER UPPERCUT! And...well, I'm sure there's more punning potential. I don't know, it's not MY job to come up with this crap, leave me alone! Sagat did make the jump to America post-draft, playing two years with the Kootenay Ice and a further two with the Marlies, but evidently wasn't retained past 2007 and returned to Europe. Whether he's still active I have no idea. Shame.
Still On The Board: Zach Stortini (94)
Verdict: Well, obviously he's a bust. He seemed to top out as an AHL plugger, which would have been a good result in a sixth or seventh round pick, but we expect more from people picked in the top hundred.
Round 4, #125 Overall - Konstantin VOLKOV
I believe Volkov is actually still in the system, but I haven't been able to find anything to corroborate that. Surprisingly, the guy was expected to go higher than this - apparently, the CSB had him ranked #14 among European skaters at one point, and history (/my five minutes of Google research) does not recall why he fell to the fourth round; whatever reason probably played a part in his lack of development as well. He's currently in the KHL, where he's been for the last two years.
Still On The Board: Kyle Quincey (132). Paul Bissonnette was picked at 121.
Verdict: Bust. It probably seemed like a great sleeper pick at the time.
Round 5, #158 Overall - John fucking MITCHELL
Yep. Here it is, folks, you now have to accept that John fucking Mitchell was the best player the Toronto Maple Leafs drafted in 2003. There are worse outcomes, but this is pretty terrible. Now, in the man's defence, he was never a truly, apocalyptically bad player - his stats, particularly in the AHL, are really pretty good for a fifth-round pick, the best being the 07/08 season where he put up 51 points in 79 games with the Marlies and added 12 more over the course of the playoffs. And considering he was mostly just a plugger, averaging 0.38 points/game in limited time is not bad work. In the man's prosecution, however, he is still John fucking Mitchell, a man for whom the turnover was less an error in judgement and more an art form.
Still On The Board: Brad Richardson (163), Marc Methot (168)
Verdict: Weeeell...neutral. Arguably a win, but using that word too close to John fucking Mitchell will make him break out in hives and hives are too good for the man.
Round 7, #220 Overall - Jeremy WILLIAMS
Wikipedia says that he scored goals in each of his first three games, with each of them coming in a different season - playing once in 2005, once in 2006 and a positively marathon-esque 18 times in 2007. I get the sense he's a typical 'tweener', not quite good enough to keep his place on an NHL roster but a very solid AHL player - he tallied 404 games in the AHL in total, first with our affiliates, then with the Wings and Rangers' baby clubs, and left America with exactly 300 points to show for it.
Still On The Board: Jay Rosehill (227)
Verdict: A limited win. Nothing was expected of Williams and he delivered a fair bit more than that.
Round 8, #237 Overall - Shaun LANDOLT
Never made it. With a career high of 42 points, attained with the Calgary Hitmen in the WHL in his overage season - he was 20, I think that's overage - it's fair to assume expectations were fairly non-existent and boy howdy, did he deliver. Popped up for four games with the Marlies, played a season with the Pensacola Ice Pilots and Victoria Salmon Kings - the latter in 2008 after he spent the season enjoying life as a point-per-game player in the Italian league, meaning there's an excellent chance he just turned up one day with a pair of skates and everybody thought he belonged there.
Still On The Board: Tobias Enstrom (239), Dustin Byfuglien (245), Shane O'Brien (250), Matt Moulson (263), Tanner Glass (265) and Jaroslav Halak (271), among others.
Verdict: Eh. I'm inclined to call him a bust because if we were two picks later we'd have a defensive corps that goes Schenn-Enstrom-Phaneuf-Gunnarsson-Franson-Liles. THIS WOULD BE THE CASE ENSTROM WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TRADED BY JFJ FOR SOMEBODY HISTORICALLY AWFUL LET ME BELIEVE.
Picks: Six
Career Players: Zero. Mitchell falls short by about fifty games and MIGHT make it, but it's a long shot.
Grade: F. No career players, nothing until the fifth round and John fucking Mitchell was the best player we got. Plus, our first round pick was the final part of that terrible, terrible Nolan deal. Literally the only reason I am not giving this a worse grade (F-, unclassified, A--) is because Mitchell wasn't as impossibly awful as he could have been.

Stadium where Jess Ennis trains is to be closed
News that Sheffield City Council has confirmed its decision to close Don Valley Stadium has been met with sadness and disappointment from many athletics stars and fans of the sport.
The multi-use venue, which is used by Jessica Ennis and has hosted televised grand prix meetings, is Britain's second-biggest athletics stadium, seating 25,000. However, the facility, which also includes a public gym and hosts live concerts, operates at a massive loss and bulldozing it to build on the land is one of several options that the the troubled local council considered to make the needed £500m budget cuts.
Olympic heptathlon champion Ennis reacted to the news on Twitter, simply saying: "So sad to lose Don Valley Stadium! Where it all started for me. Great memories."
Louise Damen, who won the women's race at the Saucony English National Cross Country Championships last Saturday, also tweeted, saying: "Sad to hear about the closure of Don Valley Stadium. Happy memories from there. Home of two of my English Schools titles as a youngster."
With Don Valley Stadium closing, the Council plans to refurbish and reopen the smaller Woodburn Road Athletics Stadium, which is less than half a mile away and can be operated for £70,000 a year.
The facilities at the two tracks are claimed by the Council to be the same, with Woodburn Road offering a dedicated throws area, which Don Valley doesn't have.
Don Valley will stay open until September, with the Council confirming the city is exploring "regeneration options" for the site.
In a statement, councillor Isobel Bowler, the cabinet member for culture, sport and leisure, said: "No one wants to close Don Valley but we can no longer afford to subsidise it by £700,000 a year. Over the next 10 years, the council will save over £6m - a huge amount of money.
"We will still provide a home for athletics at Woodbourn, less than a mile away and will cost less than £70,000 a year to run. This approach has been endorsed by the sport's governing body and the city's two main athletics clubs are already engaged in constructive discussions with the Council about the transfer. Woodbourn will technically offer the same quality of track and field facilities and in fact will provide uninterrupted access for our local clubs."
In justifying the decision, a statement from the Council continued to read: "Unfortunately, there's little prospect of major athletics events returning to Don Valley Stadium - the only reason that justifies a stadium of this size - in the foreseeable future and Sheffield has not had a major athletics event since 2007 (Grand Prix events are currently exclusive to Birmingham and London). Woodbourn, as it has in the past, will cater for all city, schools and regional athletics events."
£50m of cuts are to be made by Sheffield City Council in 2013-14, which adds to the £140m cuts in the past two years.

All this talk of Olympic Legacy 'TM' was always just empty words, and now broken promises. It will be interesting to hear how 'Lord' Coe, airbrushes this one. UK Sporting facilities? a pathetic joke.

Tweets are text-based posts that are displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. While the service itself costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees. The limit of a 140 character message length was initially set for compatibility with SMS messaging, and has brought to the web the kind of shorthand notation and slang commonly used in SMS messages. Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as the "SMS of the Internet" since the use of Twitter's application programming interface for sending and receiving short text messages by other applications often eclipses the direct use of Twitter.

UK Parents Angry Over CCTV In School Toilets
Oh, it's for the children. It's to keep you safe. Here, let's just put cameras right in your homes to keep you safe, wouldn't that be a great idea? Just when it seemed that there was at least one aspect of the surveillance control grid that people had safely beaten down – it's back, like some ludicrous game of whack-a-mole. There should be an entirely new category of irony for the fact that school administrators in the UK can film kids in the can, but parents can't kiss their kids or play with them in a public playground unless they've got a very special license. Is there nothing people won't capitulate too after they've been softened up with a little propaganda? Is there nothing to which we won't stoop in the rush to insert ourselves into some dystopian nightmare? The staff should be charged for this crime.

Sky News
March 9, 2010
Outraged parents have hit out at a school in Birmingham after pupils discovered CCTV cameras in the school's toilets.
Youngsters at Grace Academy in Chelmsley Wood claim they returned from half-term to find staff had installed the cameras without notifying them or their parents.
Some parents are furious at what they say is a "total invasion of privacy" and claim some pupils are so anxious about being watched they are refusing to use the facilities.
One mother whose teenage daughter attends the school is concerned the footage could fall into the wrong hands.
She told the Sunday Mercury: "She came home from school and told me security cameras had been installed in the girl's toilets but we didn't know anything about it.
"You would expect the school to have consulted parents first yet we received no information and no letters have been sent home explaining this decision."
Grace Academy claims the cameras only cover the sink areas and have not yet been activated.
School principal Terry Wales told Sky News: "It's to safeguard our youngsters, many schools are using cameras now.
"We had a parents' forum last night, we explained the arrangements and the parents were satisfied.
"We've found that when it comes to health and safety, children want to feel secure."
But privacy campaigners warned about the psychological effects of the feeling of being watched, even if cameras are not switched on.
Dylan Sharpe from Big Brother Watch told Sky News: "Children are entitled to privacy like anyone else.
"We're raising a generation of children accustomed to being constantly watched and monitored, whether cameras are switched on or not."
Grace Academy already has 26 CCTV cameras watching other parts of the school.
The incident is the latest row to erupt between schools and parents who are concerned about safeguarding their children's privacy.
Last year police were called to a school in Salford after parents were horrified to discover children had been filmed changing into their PE kit.
Although the footage was not misused, police seized the film after negotiating with the school.
In 2007 it was revealed schools had fingerprinted thousands of primary school children without their parent's consent.
The Department for Children, Schools and Families later ruled that if schools want to obtain and store biometric data from children, consent is not required from parents.

Hey guys, so heres the story. A few years ago i had a thing with this girl. I didn't have the confidence at the time so i ended up in the friend zone. (I was also somewhat of a rebound at the time, which i didn't know until a few months after) Well i saw her this weekend that just passed, and turns out she broke up with her boyfriend of 2 years 2 weeks ago. I saw her at the club, which is where i made a move (we just kissed no big deal). She wants to hangout with me tomorrow and were going to go swimming in her pool.
Want to turn friend into "lover"
This time we hangout, i don't want to be some rebound and end up in the friend zone again, but i want to let her know that i see her as more than a friend while not coming across as being too easy. Any tips?

A chaconne (French: [ʃaˈkɔn]; Spanish: chacona; Italian: ciaccona, pronounced [tʃakˈkoːna]) is a type of musical composition popular in the baroque era when it was much used as a vehicle for variation on a repeated short harmonic progression, often involving a fairly short repetitive bass-line (ground bass) which offered a compositional outline for variation, decoration, figuration and melodic invention. In this it closely resembles the passacaglia.
The ground bass, if there is one, may typically descend stepwise from the tonic to the dominant pitch of the scale; the harmonies given to the upper parts may emphasize the circle of fifths or a derivative pattern thereof.
Though it originally emerged during the late sixteenth century in Spanish culture, having reputedly been introduced from the New World, as a quick dance-song characterized by suggestive movements and mocking texts,[1] by the early eighteenth century the chaconne had evolved into a slow triple meter instrumental form.
Outstanding examples of early baroque "ciaccone" are Monteverdi's "Zefiro torna" and "Es steh Gott auf" from Heinrich Schütz.[2]
One of the best known and most masterful and expressive examples of the chaconne is the final movement from the Violin Partita in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. This 256-measure chaconne takes a plaintive four-bar phrase through a continuous kaleidoscope of musical expression in both major and minor modes.
After the Baroque period, the chaconne fell into decline during the 19th century, though the 32 Variations in C minor by Beethoven suggest its continuing influence. However, the form saw a very substantial revival during the 20th century, with more than two dozen composers contributing examples (see below).
Chaconne and passacaglia[edit]
The chaconne has been understood by some nineteenth and early twentieth-century theorists—in a rather arbitrary way—to be a set of variations on a harmonic progression, as opposed to a set of variations on a melodic bass pattern (to which is likewise artificially assigned the term passacaglia),[3] while other theorists of the same period make the distinction the other way around.[4] In actual usage in music history, the term "chaconne" has not been so clearly distinguished from passacaglia as regards the way the given piece of music is constructed, and "modern attempts to arrive at a clear distinction are arbitrary and historically unfounded."[5] In fact, the two genres were sometimes combined in a single composition, as in the Cento partite sopra passacagli by Girolamo Frescobaldi, and the first suite of Les Nations (1726) as well as in the Pièces de Violes (1728) by François Couperin.[6]
Frescobaldi, who was probably the first composer to treat the chaconne and passacaglia comparatively, usually (but not always) sets the former in major key, with two compound triple-beat groups per variation, giving his chaconne a more propulsive forward motion than his passacaglia, which usually has four simple triple-beat groups per variation.[7] Both are usually in triple meter, begin on the second beat of the bar, and have a theme of four measures (or a close multiple thereof). (In more recent times the chaconne, like the passacaglia, need not be in 3/4 time; see, for instance, Francesco Tristano's Chaconne/Ground Bass, where every section is built on seven-beats patterns)
A chaconne's bass line—let alone the chords involved—may not always be present in exactly the same manner, although the general outlines remain understood. (Handel's "Chaconne" in G minor for keyboard[8] has only the faintest relationship to the understood form.[citation needed])
