Super flumina Babylonis [12'58]
Lord, let me know mine end [8'02]
Jesu, auctor clementie [2'11]
Be thou exalted, Lord [9'47]
|Tomkins: The Great Service
A pupil of William Byrd, Thomas Tomkins' technique as a contrapuntalist was second to none, as can be heard in the Great Service or the anthem O God, the proud are risen against me. In this respect alone he was the composer who most obviously cont ...» More
At first sight it is not easy to see why or how Locke wrote concerted Latin works such as Super flumina Babylonis and Audi, Domine, clamantes ad te. Latin motets were sung in Catherine of Braganza's Catholic chapel by Italian singers, though there is no sign that violins were employed there, and most of Locke's Latin works survive in sources connected with the Oxford university music school and Edward Lowe, its energetic professor. Locke wrote at least one of his Latin motets for the Oxford music school – Lowe wrote on one of the parts of Ad te levavi oculos meos that it was 'made by Mr Matthew Locke to carry on the Meetinge at ye musick school. Thursday ye 16th Novem: 1665' – and it may be that all of them were written for Lowe and his Oxford performers rather than for Catholic services at court. The composer seems to have been living in Oxford at the time in order to escape from the Great Plague, which was raging in London.
Super flumina Babylonis, a setting of Psalm 136, opens with a two-section 'simphonia' – the Air and the Saraband of the D minor 'Broken Consort' transposed to the sombre key of C minor. Thereafter, the work is a kaleidoscopic patchwork of short sections, contrasting passages of recitative, dance-like triple time and ritornelli in a manner that harks back to the late church music of Monteverdi. Audi, Domine, clamantes ad te, a setting of an unidentified devotional text, has a similar design, though it opens with just a single-section allemande-like sinfonia, and is an even more remarkable marriage of sensuous Italianate textures and angular, surprising English harmonies. Responding to some repeated phrases in the text, Locke uses a triple-time passage as a kind of refrain. Jesu, auctor clementie, a setting of a hymn related to Jesu, dulcis memoria, uses the idiom of the Italian canzonetta, in which the verses are interspersed by a recurring string ritornello. The piece is awkward in places, and may date from the 1640s when Locke was coming to terms with the Italian style.
Locke's connection with Oxford and Edward Lowe was maintained over a long period, for in 1672/3 he was paid £5 for 'composing the ode' for the Encaenia or Act, the annual degree ceremony held in the Sheldonian Theatre; on that occasion, 5 July 1672, 'Mr Lowe and the Musick' were paid £319s4d for 'their service at the Act' and the Oxford writer Anthony Wood wrote 'Encaenia; excellent musick' in his diary. The work in question was almost certainly the ode Descende caelo cincta sororibus, which survives in a score in Edward Lowe's hand and sets a quaint Latin text that is clearly intended for an academic occasion in the summer; the 'Oxford Ode' only developed as a discrete genre after the Sheldonian was opened in 1669. The music, too, suggests a date in the 1670s. The work opens with a two-section prelude that effectively forms a French-style overture, an idiom that Locke and other English composers only took up in the 1670s. And the rushing scales near the opening relate to the overture to his incidental music for The Tempest of 1674 as well as to Purcell's early 'Staircase Overture'. The second part of the overture (a saraband in two sections, each repeated with a variation), also returns repeatedly as a ritornello between the vocal sections, an unusual and effective device. As far as is known, this recorded performance is the first since 1672.
It is also hard to see why Locke wrote so much Anglican church music, since he seems to have converted to Catholicism early in life, and never had any formal connection with the Chapel Royal. Nevertheless, he was apparently called upon to write for it in the 1660s when new repertory was needed after the hiatus of the Interregnum. This is certainly so in the case of the great polychoral anthem Be thou exalted, Lord, a setting of verses from Psalm 21, for it was performed in Whitehall Chapel on 14 August 1666 to celebrate Albemarle's naval victory over the Dutch earlier that summer; Samuel Pepys, who was present, called it a 'special good anthem'. The piece is designed to exploit the geography of the Chapel Royal. It opens and closes with a 'grand chorus' for all the performers – that is, two antiphonal vocal choirs in the decani and cantoris choir stalls on the floor of the chapel, a third vocal choir of soloists in a gallery above, and two instrumental groups: a consort of two violins, two bass viols and two theorbos in a gallery, and a string orchestra in the chapel below. Inspired perhaps by Louis Grabu, the follower of Lully who had recently arrived at court to train the Twenty-four Violins, Locke uses the French five-part orchestral scoring in this piece, with a single violin part, three viola lines and bass violins – tuned a tone below the modern cello.
O be joyful in the Lord, a setting of Psalm 100, is a more conventional example of the sort of Restoration verse anthem familiar to us from the works of Blow and Purcell, with its four-part string writing with two violins, and its dance-like string passages. It was evidently written for the Chapel Royal soon after the Restoration, for its text appears in James Clifford's The Divine Services and Anthems usually Sung in his Majesties Chappell of 1664. But once again the music survives only in an Oxford source, an autograph score with parts in the hand of Edward Lowe, which was presumably prepared for a performance at the university music school. How doth the city sit solitary, a setting of verses from the Lamentations of Jeremiah, is one of the finest examples of Locke's marriage of the Italian and English styles. The organ part, which contributes not a little to the work's rich dissonances, was written out in full by the composer, and is a valuable guide to his style of continuo playing; Roger North wrote that the Italian musicians in the queen's Catholic chapel objected to 'his manner of play', and insisted that their singing be attended 'by more polite hands'. Lord, let me know mine end became Locke's most popular work after his lifetime, though it was usually performed in a version that ruined the remarkable effect of the end, conceived for solo voices and marked successively 'soft' and 'softest of all', by allocating it to the choir.
In this recording we have tried to reproduce the effect of performances in Oxford and London under the direction of the composer. We chose the relatively dry acoustic of Rosslyn Hill Chapel in Hampstead because Whitehall chapel was only about 75' by 30', and the music school at Oxford was even smaller. Male voices are used throughout; women began to sing in English choirs only in the 1770s. The normal practice in the Chapel Royal and at Oxford was to use one-to-a-part strings, but we have used orchestras in Be thou exalted, Lord and Descende caelo cincta sororibus because they were written for special occasions; the score of the former specifies a 'band of violins', and the surviving performing material of Oxford academic odes have duplicate string parts. These Oxford parts also reveal that bass stringed instruments played with the violins, leaving the solo vocal sections just to continuo instruments. A variety of continuo instruments were used on occasion at Oxford, including theorbos and plucked keyboards in addition to the music school organ, a four-stop Dallam instrument.

Cotto & Co. w/ Cpt. Michael Weinstein, Military Religious Freedom Foundation
in News
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is one of America's most powerful legal action groups. It was formed to defend military personnel from religious discrimination brought about by, for the most part, fundamentalist Christians.
The MRFF's leader, Cap. Michael L. Weinstein, has generated extreme controversy. A retired Air Force Judge Advocate General who served in the Reagan Administration, he often finds himself in the sights of major Religious Right organizations and personalities. Their attacks on him have gone far beyond the professional, and certain news outlets sometimes join in the fray.
All of this makes it very difficult to identify facts about the MRFF and its work. Just what exactly is going on?
Some claim that the MRFF clamps down on the rights of Christians who wish to do nothing more than express their religious beliefs around others. The Foundation has been subject to highly critical coverage from right-leaning media outlets. What can be said about their interpretations of the Foundation's work? At any rate, it seems that religious proselytization isn't just a serious issue facing the military today, but one which has been lurking among shadows for some time. Why does offensive theological rhetoric surface so often among military personnel?
Weinstein shares his views about all of this and more.

Religious Freedom and the Affordable Care Act. Are You Exempt?
in Politics
Religious Freedom vs Obamacare Affordable Care Act
Obamacare fundamentally infringes upon my First Amendment rights!
The Founding Fathers chose to constitutionally protect freedom of religion.
I and many other Americans hold sincere religious convictions which are contrary to the purchase of medical insurance. As an American who has been guaranteed by God the freedom of religion, that is my God granted right.
Some religious organizations have been granted exemption from the ACA. Others have not. What's going on? Does the First Amendment only apply to select groups of Americans?
Don't get me wrong. If you choose medical treatment and trust in what you hold to be its virtues, that is also your right as a free thinking American, and you are also guaranteed YOUR freedom of religion. In a sense, holding your trust in medicine also constitutes a part YOUR religion, because your choice reflects how you understand YOUR conscious being, and what YOU hold to be your spiritual identity and relationship to God.
Your view may be a little different from mine. But your choice and your view of who and what you are, belongs to YOU, just as MY choice belongs to me. We all have been granted by God the freedom to think and feel about existence as we individually choose.
Some Christians use the term "free will", but I think it goes a step deeper than will when will is seen in a spiritual rather than in a human sense. But let's use that term to make a point:
Your free will cannot be legislated!
Please call in with your 2 cents worth!

Emily Maynard: Reportedly Engaged To...by Hilton Hater at . Comments
No, Emily Maynard does not get rejected on this Sunday's Bachelorette finale. Not according to the expert on all things related to this ABC competition.
In his latest blog entry, Reality Steve says he knows exactly what goes down on the concluding episode and exactly what Maynard's status now is with her chosen suitor. Read on and consider yourself spoiler warned...
"Emily and Jef left Curacao an engaged couple," the report states, referring to popular contestant Jef Holm, of course.
The insider goes on to say that nothing especially shocking will go down on Sunday."This live finale is not going to be her making her decision between both guys, or, they leave us hanging in Curacao with Jef proposing and Emily saying she needs more time to think about it. Nothing like that. They got engaged in Curacao, and despite whatever garbage you read elsewhere, they are still engaged today."
So there you have it. Yes, Reality Steve confirms, Emily and Arie made contact a few times after the show stopped filming, but there's no major scandal here and no changing the alleged bottom line:
Emily Maynard and Jef Holm are a happily engaged couple. Does this make you a happy Bachelorette fan?
Emily you snooze you lose you should had picked the babe Shawn.
Emily missed the boat when she let Shaun out of her life, he was the cutiest and very smart. We need a senior bach pad! 6o's
IF Arie doesn't win PLEASE let him be the next Bachelor! I want to see more of him. :)
Arie got a bad rap from almost everyone. If he was a "player" before the show, so what! He's single AND gorgeous, and I'm sure none of you making stupid comments are celibate. Besides, it's not about who YOU want to win, it's about what Emily wants. She traded love with Arie for $$$$$ with Jef. Poor Jef, but atleast Ari8e dodged the bullet of the little gold digger.
Emily didn't pick Sean, as he's an insurance agent, he doesn't make nearly enough money for her life style, and he doesn't live far enough away from the Hendrick family. Emily maybe able to get more money for them to visit their grand daughter, or to keep them closer to N.C. in the end.
At least she didn't pick Chris!! The Bachelor Pad previews make him look like a total douche...
Oh Diane, how do you know what his family is like ? They never introduced the parents. They could be wacko's!
Congrats either way! If I find SEAN though he's mine ;) lol. BTW Emily lay off the botox hun! You can't move you face anymore :/
Let me help her. I will send her a lacy hankerchief that she can cry into. I have read some of these articles about the Bachelorette. For the most part this show is a big fiasco of trash. Out of 16 seasons only a few (maybe 2) stayed together. Waste of money. Hey ABC, spend it on something worth while....like helping to feed and clothe our American people.
Emily should have watch and payed attention to what Jeff's family was saying. Jeff is still a child and is not ready to be married or be a father. Sean seemed to be the perfect match!!

"Encapsulating " asbestos tile
My basement floor has 9" asphalt/asbestos tile that I want to encapulate. In the end, I simply want to put down some carpeting. I've had several suggestion including "skim coat", plywood, and trowel on carpet glue and let dry. What's the best approach? Thanks in advance!
Hi bclerico,
Floor tile containing asbestos is actually quite safe unless it is broken to pieces or you use mechanical action (such as machine scrubbing)while it is dry.I personally would leave it alone or have it removed by professionals.

Hi bclerico,
PS: God Bless America!
Ditto w/what Matches said. Wherever there are loose or missing pieces, remove what's loose and use a filler to 'level' the floor, and go ahead and install your padding and carpeting. The leveler compound can be bought at any Home Center.
My best to ya and hope this helps.

We have empirically examined the relationship between top executives' turnover and the corporate environmental responsibility by identifying the influence of ten specific turnover reasons resulting in the chairman's departure and two important types of chairman's succession. Using a sample of 782 manufacturing listed companies across 3 years in China, we find that the corporate environmental responsibility is negatively associated with the involuntary and negative turnover (i.e., dismissal, health and death, and forced resignation) and positively associated with improving corporate governance, and not associated with the normal turnover (i.e., retirement and contract expiration) and the types of chairman's succession (i.e., independence, and internal or external promotion). Our study significantly contributes to research in environmental disclosure by revealing the relationship between chairman's turnover and the corporate environmental responsibility. A feasible way is suggested to regulators and other stakeholders in monitoring or assessing the possible abnormality of environmental responsibility when firms experience involuntary and negative chairman's turnover in the emerging economies.

I have a class which displays waveform data of audiofiles in a QWidget (see screenshot of the widget below, back then i still used a gradient, which caused poor performance).
The audio data is painted in the paintEvent directly on the widget using multiple calls to
QPainter::drawLine (the minimum amount of calls to
QWidget::drawLine is equivalent to the width of the widget => at least one line for each x coordinate).
While the approach works quite well on Windows (a paintEvent in fullscreen takes around ~4ms), the performance is 4-5 times worse when the program is run under MacOS.
The performance of the painting is important for fluid scrolling of the displayed data.
So my question is, does anyone know a faster alternative to QPainter.drawLine to paint lines (platform dependant solutions might be ok, as long as they can be used in a paintEvent), or is there a way to speed up scrolling, some kind of buffering etc ?

More likely a failed starter solenoid but I would fist check to see if the starter is getting voltage to the stater when the ignition key is turned to the starter position when the vehicle won't "turn over".

I have a confession. I don't actually go to Balboa Park every Sunday afternoon when the Park is full of activity, including a number of free events such as the lip-smacking Lawn Programs hosted by the International Cottages and the 2pm concert in Spreckels Organ Pavilion.
Following a big Sunday brunch, I'm sometimes just too dog tired to drag my tail off of the couch. This past Sunday was no exception. I would've loved nothing more than to take in a well-attended organ concert as part of the Earth Fair celebration. But after a late-night and a bit of the hair of the dog the next morning, I decided it would be best to curb myself in the creature comforts of my own living room for the rest of the day.
However, thanks to the Spreckels Organ Society's new Ustream feed, I was able to enjoy Sunday's relaxing concert event as though I was there in the fir. Launched a few months ago, the live streaming of each Sunday's organ concert was made possible when the Wi-Fi hotspot in Balboa Park was greatly expanded and strengthened last summer thanks to the efforts of the Balboa Park Conservancy, the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, and San Diego City Council President Todd Gloria.
To stream the organ concerts live on your computer or mobile device, visit the Spreckels Organ Society's nifty new website just before or after 2pm on Sunday and click the "Follow" button to join the party. An integrated social stream allows listeners to bark their thoughts and comments during the concert.
If you're kicking yourself for missing last Sunday's live concert or Ustream, you can still watch a recording of it throughout this week. There is of course no substitute for being there, but it's nice to know that our current Internet age allows lazy dogs like me to not miss a beat.
Being a dog, I sometimes get a bad rap for not being very Earth friendly, especially when it comes to carefully landscaped sections of earth, as commonly found in people's yards and, of course, throughout Balboa Park itself.
However, being so low to the ground, I am particularly sensitive to the quality of dirt I'm digging in. That's why I am more than okay each year when the largest annual free Earth Day celebration in the world completely takes over my favorite sniffing grounds in Balboa Park.
Twenty-five years in the making, the San Diego EarthWorks Earth Fair, on Sunday, April 27, will once again welcome over 60,000 visitors into Balboa Park to discover the latest issues, developments, projects, products, and other activities affecting the environment.
At over 300 vendor booths, Earth Fair visitors will find traditional conservation organizations, products made from natural and organically grown crops, organic gardening information, alternative energy vehicles, healthcare products and services, and my personal favorites, habitat and wildlife preservation groups and pet adoption services.
While chewing on the various environmental causes, visitors can also chew on (and swallow) a wide diversity of veggie-friendly dishes available in the Food Pavilion and soak in some conscious-raising entertainment at one of five stages.
For early birds, and that's what you'll need to be for any chance of parking near the Park during the Earth Day celebration, there's the always-adorable Children's Earth Parade, which starts at 10:30am by the Spanish Village. The all-species-welcome event features pups (both two-legged and four-legged) dressed up as their favorite endangered species or presenting their favorite earth-friendly messages as they march through the Park, down the Prado, to the Children's Area in Pan American Plaza.
Since dogs who blog aren't exactly an endangered species these days, I'll probably just watch rather than participate in this year's parade.
Lady Wulf writes: Dear Cosmos: Is it just me, or can Easter Sunday be a serious let down sometimes? Once the early morning Easter Egg hunt ends, and I have sniffed out all the eggs, what is there left to do the rest of the day?
Cosmos: I used to wonder the very same thing. And what good are eggs anyway without sausage, bacon, pancakes, and potatoes? (more on that later).
A quick Google of "Easter Sunday activities" certainly turns up a fair amount of egg hunts and brunches in the area, but they are scattered all over San Diego County. And then, like you said, what to do afterwards?
Leave it to Balboa Park to serve up more than just brunch on Easter Sunday, as various cultural attractions present a wide range of activities for the entire pack.
And what a howling good Easter Sunday brunch in Balboa Park it is, courtesy of The Prado Restaurant! Their traditional pup-friendly Champagne Buffet Brunch includes omelets or eggs benedict; a variety of unique fresh salads; a pancake station; a whipped potato martini bar; a chilled seafood display, a meat-carving station, a dim sum station, pastries … [wipes drool off keyboard].
Once you have had your fill is when the Easter Day experience in the Park really gets hopping, starting with a tour of the historic Botanical Building to view hundreds of fragrant white lilies as part of the annual Easter lily display.
If your pups are newly weaned, you'll likely want to check out a performance for preschoolers of Peter Rabbit at the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater at 11am, 1pm, or 2:30pm. Then be sure to hop on over to the weekly free Sunday concert in the Spreckels Organ Pavilion at 2pm for more Easter-themed entertainment.
Not to mention, every museum in the Park will be open, so lucky dogs holding a Balboa Park Annual Explorer Pass for families can freely explore with their entire brood any new exhibits and hands-on activities scheduled for the day without worrying about paying daily admission prices.
One of the greatest challenges for pack leaders is keeping tabs on what their pups are doing once school is out for the summer. While stuck in the office from 9 to 5 each day, parents either have to pony up big bucks for an all-day sitter or childcare facility, or trust that their teenagers will not act like, well, teenagers.
Yes, I'm sure there are some quality daycare facilities in our community worthy of their fee, just as I'm sure there are some responsible sitters and, ahem, perhaps even teenagers. But why throw your hard-earned bones at just any summertime kenneling option when you can have your pups supervised in a manner that won't make them feel like they are being babysat at a Balboa Park Summer Camp?
There are in fact so many different weeklong Balboa Park Summer Camps available, parents can literally keep pups of any age, including preschoolers, happily engaged from morning until late afternoon, Monday through Friday, from mid June through the month of August.
A variety of full-day camps are available at the San Diego Natural History Museum, the San Diego Zoo, and the San Diego Junior Theatre. And for restless pups constantly seeking new experiences in the arts, sciences, and other hobbies, a dozen cultural institutions in Balboa Park are collaborating on a half-day camp program.
The half-day camps enable families to drop their entire brood off for the entire day, as each pup joins a camp suited to his or her tastes and grade level in the morning, enjoy a chaperoned lunch with other kids, and then be escorted to the next adventure at a different cultural attraction in the Park.
To get a leg up on the more popular camps that fill up quickly, be sure to start the planning and registration process soon by contacting each institution's summer camp office directly.
Through my incessant digging over the years, I've uncovered quite a few gems buried deep in the soil. But as my collection of colorful stones keeps growing, I seem to know less and less about everything I've managed to get my paws on.
Thankfully there's quite a group of fellow rockhounds right here in Balboa Park that can help me identify what I've dug up. Known as the San Diego Mineral and Gem Society, they meet regularly in the Spanish Village Art Center and even offer classes that give me nifty craft ideas on how to get the most out of my rocks' various colors, shapes, sizes, and textures.
Not being much of a lap dog, I didn't think I could ever associate myself with anything termed "lapidary," but through my recent education at the San Diego Mineral and Gem Society in collecting and transforming gems and minerals into decorative works of art, including jewelry, I can now honestly call myself a lapidarist.
The San Diego Mineral and Gem Society can in fact help anyone, not just prolific diggers, increase their understanding and appreciation of gems, minerals, and fossils (but not bones so much). The society offers an ongoing schedule of classes, lectures, field trips, and other special programs that explore the many facets (pun intended) of the lapidary arts.
To get a taste of what the society has to offer, a good place to start is their museum located at the northwest corner of the pooch-friendly Spanish Village Art Center. The museum displays fetching specimens of minerals, rocks, and fossils that the society has acquired through purchases and donations. Admission is free and the museum is open seven days a week, 11am to 4pm.
So next time you catch your best four-legged friend digging in the garden, you might want to check out what she is uncovering before putting her in the doghouse.

Stem Cells, God and Politics
Australian Laws Raise Polemics
By Father John Flynn, L.C.
ROME, JUNE 19, 2007 (Zenit) - Church-state boundaries came under close scrutiny in Australia recently, with a no-holds barred debate over stem cell legislation. At the end of May the ruling Labor Party in the state of New South Wales announced legislation to overturn a previous ban on the cloning of embryonic stem cells for medical research.
"I'm doing this to allow New South Wales researchers to work on new therapies that will help us better understand human diseases and may provide the treatments and therapies for many of the illnesses currently considered untreatable," announced the state's premier, Morris Iemma, according to the Daily Telegraph newspaper May 30.
The door to embryo stem cell research in Australia was opened when federal Parliament gave its approval late last year. The new law comes into effect this month. The legislation proposed in New South Wales was eventually approved by the state's lower house June 7, although it must still pass the upper house.
It met, however, with strong opposition from both the Anglican and Catholic Churches. Cardinal George Pell, the archbishop of Sydney, the state capital, acknowledged that there is a real need to find cures for disease and genetic problems. He appealed, however, for greater reflection on the moral issues involved.
In a statement issued June 4 on behalf of the 10 bishops from the state's dioceses, Cardinal Pell also protested at the way the proposal was being rushed through Parliament in the space of only a week.
The human embryo, the statement continued, "has intrinsic human dignity and should be afforded that most basic of human rights -- the right to live, to grow, to prosper."
Cardinal Pell finished by calling upon Catholic, and indeed all Christian politicians, not to vote in favor of such "immoral legislation."
Catholic politicians
Media attention in the following days largely tended to ignore Cardinal Pell's arguments on the ethical objections to embryonic stem cell research, preferring to concentrate on his appeal to Catholic politicians.
Typical of this was a June 6 report in the Sydney Morning Herald titled: "Catholic members of Parliament to defy Pell over bill." The article went on to describe how Premier Iemma and his deputy, John Watkins, both Catholics, were prepared to "defy" the Church.
An agency report posted the same day on the newspaper's Web page reported further comments by Emergency Services Minister Nathan Rees, who demanded that Sydney's archbishop apologize to Catholic members of Parliament, or risk being considered as bad as radical Muslim leaders.
The article also reported comments by Iemma that he didn't think his local parish priest would be denying him communion, in spite of his support for the bill.
Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott, also a Catholic, spoke out in support of Cardinal Pell, reported the Daily Telegraph on June 6. "Cardinal Pell is entitled to say his piece. He is the leader of
the Catholic church here in Australia," he said.
In a radio interview, Australian Prime Minister John Howard also defended the cardinal. "In the end, Church leaders, if they believe something ... are entitled to put their view," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on July 7.
An editorial June 7 in the national daily The Australian spoke out in favor of Cardinal Pell. He was only doing his job, the paper argued. "As cardinal, it is his responsibility to explain and uphold Catholic principles, to remind Australian Catholics of the rules that apply to their lives, if lived as Catholics."
West Australia
Matters became more heated, however, due to parallel legislation introduced in another state, West Australia. Archbishop Barry Hickey of Perth, the state's capital, opposed the bill to allow research on embryos. "The end does not justify the means," he said, according to a report posted on the ninemsn.com.au Web site April 19.
Just as matters reached a head in Sydney, Fred Riebeling, speaker of West Australia's Legislative Assembly, announced June 7 that Archbishop Hickey would be investigated by the state parliamentary privileges committee, reported the West Australia newspaper.
The day before, Perth's archbishop said Catholics who "voted for the cloning of embryos destined for destruction" should not go to Communion and could be excommunicated.
A report the next day in the Australian newspaper quoted a spokesman for Archbishop Hickey as saying that there had not been any threat. Politicians, the spokesman said, had been "reminded" that the cloning of embryos for experimentation and destruction was not consistent with Church teachings.
In the end, Riebeling settled for tabling in parliament a ...

Hoping someone can assist as the following jQuery code actually works fine in MS IE8 but returns 'undefined' in MS IE6.
have also checked other questions in Stackoverflow relating to my query but cannot find any info relating to IE6.
I basically need this code to work in both browsers (ie6 and ie8) and would appreciate some assistance:
I have the following HTML setup for my radiogroup:
<input type="radio" name="f10" value="abc123"/>
I also have the following code that seems to work fine in IE8 but not in IE6:
function processJob(){
if ($("input[name=f10]:checked").val() != undefined){
isDelgateFlag = "Y";
var delgSelection = $("input[name=f10]:checked").val();
else {
isDelgateFlag = "N";
alert("Please make a selection.");
As mentioned, the
$("input[name=f10]:checked").val() seems to return a value in IE8 but returns 'undefined' in IE6.
Can someone please assist with a means of catering for both browsers.

Fireworks illuminate Woonsocket's 125th anniversary Arch of Triumph as the waterfall pours down for one final time after a celebratory cookout for volunteers and supporters in Monument Square Thursday night. After thanking volunteers Al Beauparlant, Linda Plays, Mike Dubois, Steve Casey, Mary Lynn Bosiak, Matt Moylan and many others, Mayor Leo Fontaine said of the Main Street Block Party, 'Everything fell into place and this showed what our city is all about.' He was then outfitted with a safety harness and along with State Rep.
George E. Perron
EAST PROVIDENCE- George E. Perron, 65 of East Providence, died Monday at the Rhode Island Hospital. He is the husband of Katie (Jackson) Perron.
Born in Woonsocket, he was the son of the late Gerard and Adele (Lavendier) Perron.
George was employed as a Manager/Supervisor at the School House Candy Company in Pawtucket until 2007.
WOONSOCKET -- Police confirmed early Thursday morning that at least two people were shot during what appears to be a home invasion on West Park Place in the city. The incident occurred at about 2 a.m. Thursday morning. The two victims were transported to the hospital. The extend of their injuries are unknown. The Call will have updates on this breaking news story as they become available.
WOONSOCKET – It was a small gathering of just over 50 people at the city's Korean and Vietnam War memorial at Thomas A. Shipp Square near the Police Station, but one that did go the distance in marking the 12th anniversary of Sept. 11 and how that day still holds the nation's attention.
BLACKSTONE – Police closed portions of St. Paul Street early Wednesday after a tractor-trailer got stuck underneath a railroad bridge.Â
The truck got stuck about 8 a.m., forcing authorities to close St. Paul Street in both directions from the Blackstone Municipal Center at 15 St. Paul St. all the way up to Route 102 near North Smithfield line.
WOONSOCKET – The last hurrah of the city's 125th Anniversary Arch of Triumph will be observed with a celebratory cookout for volunteers and supporters this evening, followed by a final lighting of the 72-foot high locally created work of art on Main Street.
WOONSOCKET – A veteran Woonsocket police captain is one of four finalists for the police chief job in Uxbridge.
Detective Cpt. Edward J. Lee Jr., a longtime city cop who currently oversees the detective division in Woonsocket, is vying for the Uxbridge position along with three other candidates, including Smithfield Police Cpt. Robert Eaton, Auburn, Mass., Det. Lt. Jeffrey Lourie; and interim Uxbridge Police Chief Lt. Peter B. Emerick.
WOONSOCKET — Head coach Andrew Rao couldn't and wouldn't argue the point that his Woonsocket High club, as depleted as it was, exhibited rather solid play in a 2-0 loss to South Kingstown at Barry Field on Wednesday afternoon.
After all, he had to face his Division I opener without the services of junior sweeper Nathan Sengsavang, who received what Rao deemed an unwarranted red card in a recent non-league game against Mount St. Charles, and also senior captain and forward Tyler Pacheco, who suffered a knee injury just two minutes into this affair.
Ronald N.
WOONSOCKET- Ronald N. Beauregard, 64, of Woonsocket died Tuesday at Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island in Providence. He was the loving husband of Lynne P. Dias. They were marred on March 26, 2007. Ron was also the former husband of Paulette (LEtoile) Beauregard of Woonsocket.
Born in Woonsocket, he was a son of the late Victor and Grace (Houle) Beauregard.
Claire L. Lemoine
WOONSOCKET- Claire L. (Morin) Lemoine, 93, of Woonsocket passed away peacefully on Monday, September 2, 2013 at The Holiday, Manville, RI. She was the beloved wife of the late Jacques R. Lemoine.
Born in Woonsocket on April 28, 1920, she was the daughter of the Aime and Adele (Lizotte) Morin.
