Pope presents bishops with symbolic ring, given integrated document of propositions
Vatican City, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - At the closing of this morning's 19th General Congregation of the Synod of Bishops in Rome, Special Secretary Archbishop Roland Minnerath, of Dijon, France presented the Holy Father with the Integrated List of Propositions, from which, the Pope will begin to form his apostolic exhortation for the historic 11th Synod.1
The list is the result of the unification of numerous propositions prepared by bishops in individual working groups, divided by spoken language, who met throughout last week.
It was compiled by the Synod's Relator General along with the Special Secretary and the Relators of each of the working groups.
During the opening of yesterday's General Congregation, Pope Benedict presented the Synod Fathers with a gift of his own--a ring emblazoned with an image of a pelican.
The image of the pelican has been used since the Middle Ages as a symbol for the Eucharist because the bird will, in extreme cases, pierce its own flesh in order to feed its young.
St. Augustine has written about this profound Eucharistic symbolism, as have St. Thomas Aquinas and the poet Dante.
In addition to the presentation of the rings, experts and auditors who were invited to participate in the Synod were given a rosary.
The Synod will conclude this Sunday with a Papal Mass and beatification ceremony for five soon-to-be Saints.
Pope given first volume of Synod history
Vatican City, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - Today, at the closing of the morning session of the 19th General Congregation of the Synod of Bishops, meeting in Rome, the Holy Father was presented with the massive 2,800-page Enchiridion of the Synod of Bishops, containing all of the Synod documents from 1965 until 1988.
His Excellency Most Reverend Msg. Nikola Eterovic, Secretary General of the Synod, presented Pope Benedict with the white-bound, first volume of the Synodal history, which marks the 40th anniversary of its institution.
The collection, written in Latin and Italian, will be of great interest not only to the Episcopal college, but to historians, researchers and theologians seeking to understand the life and mission of the Church after the Vatican Council II.
As a sign of his own gratitude and encouragement, the Pope is slated to give a copy of the volume to all the participants in the 11th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod meeting currently.
Sources say that he wishes it to be reflective of communion in the Church centered on the Mystery of the Eucharist.
Synod to conclude Sunday with 5 beatifications
Vatican City, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - As prelates gathered in Rome prepare to conclude the 11th General Synod of Bishops this weekend, the Vatican has announced the schedule for the final days, which will climax with a beatification ceremony on Sunday.
Today, the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, the bishops will gather for their smaller working groups in the afternoon, following a morning ceremony in which the Pope was presented with an integrated list of propositions from the working groups--which had met throughout the last week.
The groups will meet again tomorrow morning and in the afternoon.
On Thursday, there will be no General Congregation, while the General Relator, along with the Special Secretary and the Relators of the Working Groups study the Collective Amendments of the Propositions given to the Pope today.
The bishops will vote on the text of their final message on Friday morning and on the amended list of propositions Saturday morning.
On Sunday, World Mission Day, the Holy Father will celebrate Mass with all of the Synod Fathers marking the conclusion of the historic event. There, he will preside at the beatification of five future saints.
The newly proclaimed Blesseds will include Jozef Bilczewski, archbishop of Lviv of the Latins (1860 - 1923); Gaetano Catanoso, priest, founder of the Congregation of the Veronica Sisters of the Holy Countenance (1879 - 1963); Zygmunt Gorazdowski, priest, founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph (1845 - 1920); Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga, priest of the Society of Jesus (1901 - 1952); and Felice da Nicosia, of the Friars Minor Capuchin (1715 - 1787).
The Vatican's Office for Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff released a statement which read: "On this Sunday, which closes the Year of the Eucharist and in which five new saints are proclaimed, we are invited to make the Eucharist ever more the summit and the source of the life and mission of the Church, and to be witnesses to the Gospel, even unto the ends of the earth."
New study reveals spiritual effects of divorce on children
, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - A new book, Between Two Worlds: The Inner Lives of Children of Divorce, chronicles a three year study which found, among other things, that many children of divorced parents experience a profound lack of trust in God and faith in the Church.
Elizabeth Marquardt of the Institute for American Values and Professor Norval Glenn of the University of Texas at Austin co-directed the study, which was funded by the Lilly Endowment.
Noting the divorce rate which has skyrocketed in the U.S. over recent decades, Marquardt and Glenn interviewed 70 young adults face-to-face, and compiled telephone surveys of 1,500 young adults--half of whom were raised in divorced families and half from intact families.
The findings were surprising. They report that young people from divorced families "experience a loss of trust that affects their belief in God—making them overall much less religious than their peers from intact families," although for some, the experience dramatically strengthened their faith.
In addition, many of the young people raised with divorce "often say the church failed them. Of those children of divorce who were regular [attendees] at a place of worship, two-thirds say that no one from the clergy or congregation reached out when their families broke up."
As a result, a greater percentage of children of divorce claim to be "religious" or attend church than their two-parent counterparts.
Children of divorce are also "much less likely to say their mother and father taught them how to pray and prayed with them – and are much more likely to say they doubt the sincerity of their parents' religious beliefs, do not share their parents' values, and to say there are things their parents have done that they find hard to forgive."
Perhaps most strikingly, the pair found that many "feel pain and loss evoked by the idea of God as a father or parent."
Marquardt and Glenn cited one child of divorce, who said "when she prayed as a child she thought of it as a letter to God. She exclaimed, 'But then you kind of wonder about it 'cause they never answer. So that made me wonder—well, I wrote to him. I didn't get a letter back. That sounds like Dad!'
The study however, was not all negative. Marquardt and Glenn further found that for many of these children, the experience actually strengthened their faith, which gave them something to hang on to.
In fact, thirty-eight percent of young people from divorced families (compared to 22 percent from intact families), say, "I think of God as the loving father or parent I never had in real life."
Despite this, the authors conclude that there is no such thing as a "good divorce", and encourage greater compassion toward both the divorced couple and their children.
The book is now available through Crown Publishers for $24.95.
International Federation of Catholic Universities to meet in Connecticut
Fairfield, N.J., Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - Sacred Heart University will host Catholic university leaders and scholars for an international four-day conference, Oct. 20-23. It will mark the 30th anniversary of the Center for Coordination of Research, established within the International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU).
The conference, titled "The Center for Coordination of Research (CCR) Memories for the Future," will draw delegates from more than 20 nations and five continents.
Among the various topics, conference participants will discuss the focus of research emanating from the center; current trends informing research; the effect of rapid globalization, cultural pluralism, poverty and violence on research, and; how Catholic universities reflect their missions in their research. The conference will be in English, French and Spanish with simultaneous translation.
"There are those who hold that scholarly research should maintain a separation from the life and perspective of faith. The understanding of the Catholic intellectual tradition offers a contrary perspective," said Sacred Heart University president Anthony Cernera, who also serves as vice president of IFCU for research.
Based in France, IFCU was created in 1949. It comprises about 200 universities and institutions of higher education throughout the world and has consultative status with the United Nations and the Commission on Human Rights in Geneva.
American Life League urges bishops to rebuke pro-abortion Catholic politicians
Washington D.C., Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - The American Life League is urging all United States bishops to publicly challenge and rebuke politicians who claim to be Catholic but who support abortion.
American Life League president Judie Brown put out the call in light of yesterday's 20th anniversary luncheon for Emily's List, a organization founded in 1985, dedicated to having pro-choice women elected into office.
The five pro-abortion public officials who highlighted yesterday's luncheon include: U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Ct.), Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-Mich.) and State Sen. Joan FitzGerald (D-Colo.)
"These women, who claim to be Catholic, all adamantly defy the Church," said Brown. "It would be my hope that each of their bishops contacts them as soon as possible to remind them it is impossible to be Catholic and pro-abortion.
"The fact that their public support of abortion is seemingly going unchallenged is a cause of great scandal," she continued.
Brown said bishops' ongoing private dialogue with pro-abortion public officials is "an excellent first step."
"However, the apparent reluctance of many bishops to publicly rebuke these pro-abortion Catholics is a source of confusion, not only for their fellow Catholics," said Brown, "but for all Americans who would benefit from a clear understanding of Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human beings' lives."
Brown noted that the issue is not on the agenda for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' meeting next month in Washington. Brown claims that it is only when this topic becomes a major concern that legislative change will come.
Priest-ethicist supports new technique to access embryonic stem cells
, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - A new and promising scientific technique may satisfy researchers who want embryonic stem cells without the moral dilemma of destroying the embryo, says ethicist Fr. Thomas Berg.
A recent study published in this week's issue of Nature suggests scientists are closer to devising ways of getting stem cells with qualities like those of embryonic stem cells, but without destroying embryos in the process.
"I see it as a potential breakthrough," said Fr. Berg, the director of the Westchester Institute for Ethics and the Human Person, a Catholic think-tank based in Thornwood, N.Y. "This kind of research is directing us away from the moral impasse over embryo destructive research and toward solutions we can all live with."
Nature reported that MIT researchers Alexander Meissner and Rudolf Jaenisch are the first to use a technique called altered nuclear transfer (ANT) in laboratory mice to derive a line of "fully competent" mouse embryonic stem cells. This stem-cell line did not come from a normal mouse embryo but from a biologically engineered source that appears to lack the organization necessary to be a mouse embryo.
How would the technique work for humans? A normal adult body cell is genetically modified. In its nucleus, genes essential for normal embryo formation are drastically altered. This cell is then implanted in an egg with its nucleus removed. "Theoretically, the resultant product of the procedure would not be an embryo, but a disordered biological artifact, capable of yielding stem cells, but otherwise on its way to becoming something akin to a tumor," explained a press release from the institute.
The stem cells derived in this process are called "pluripotent" because they give rise to all cell tissue types in an organism.
While previously thought to exist only in five- or six-day-old embryos, Fr. Berg said scientific evidence is mounting to show that pluripotent cells can be found in human umbilical cord blood and bone marrow.
"Scientists who still want embryonic stem cells, but want to avoid the moral controversy, could have good reason to be satisfied with such an alternative," he said.
Catholic school principal cancels prom events, decrying a "a pursuit of vanity for vanity's sake"
, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - A Catholic school principal, Brother Kenneth M. Hoagland decided to cancel the spring prom, because of the abuses and decadence such an event produces.
The principal of Kellenberg Memorial High school in Long Island, a member of he Society of Mary (Marianists), that actually owns the school, made the announcement in a letter addressed to the parents.
"it is (..) the flaunting of affluence, assuming exaggerated expenses, a pursuit of vanity for vanity's sake - in a word, financial decadence," said Hoagland, fed up with what he called the "bacchanalian aspects."
The outpouring of wealth and money spend for such an event that makes it
"Each year get worse - becomes more exaggerated, more expensive, more emotionally traumatic," he added. "We are withdrawing from the battle and allowing the parents full responsibility. (Kellenberg) is willing to sponsor a prom, but not an orgy," he said.
The move brought a mixed, albeit passionate, reaction from students and parents at the Roman Catholic school..
Hoagland began talking about the future of the prom last spring after 46 Kellenberg seniors made a $10,000 down payment on a $20,000 rental in the Hamptons for a post-prom party. When school officials found out, they forced the students to cancel the deal; the kids got their money back and the prom went on as planned.
"A lot of people have lamented the growing consumption that surrounds the prom, (..)it is not uncommon for students to pay $1,000 on the dance and surrounding folderol: expensive dresses, tuxedo rentals, flowers, limousines, pre- and post-prom parties," says Amy Best, an associate professor of sociology and anthropology at George Mason University in Virginia and the author of "Prom Night: Youth, Schools and Popular Culture."
"The school has excellent values," said Margaret Cameron of Plainview. "We send our children here because we support the values and the administration of the school and I totally back everything they do." This comment showed the support of parents for the principles decision.
Hoagland said in an interview that parents, who pay $6,025 in annual tuition, have expressed appreciation for his stern stand. "For some, it (the letter) was an eye-opener," he said. "Others feel relieved that the pressure is off of them."
Chris Laine, a senior from Rockville Centre, said the cancellation was "unfortunate, but you can't really argue with the facts they present. ... It's just what it's evolved into. It's not what it was 20, 30 or 40 years ago. It's turned into something it wasn't originally intended to be."
How to be a Muslim 101? Thomas More Law Center cites double standard
San Francisco, Calif., Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - The Ann Arbor, Michigan based, Thomas More Law Center is challenging a California public school district which they say indoctrinated impressionable middle-schoolers in the Muslim faith.
The group said that during a three-week project, the 12-year old students were "placed into Islamic city groups, took Islamic names, [and] wore identification tags that displayed their new Islamic name" along side of the Star and Crescent Moon--the symbol of Muslims.
In addition, they were given materials which instructed them to "Remember Allah always so that you may prosper."
The students also completed "the Islamic Five Pillars of Faith, including fasting, and memorized and recited the 'Bismillah' or 'In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate,' which students also wrote on banners that were hung on the classroom walls."
San Francisco's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will begin hearing Eklund vs. Byron Union School District tomorrow.
A San Francisco federal judge had previously ruled that the school district did not violate the constitution, but according to Richard Thompson, Chief Counsel of the Law Center, "There is a double-standard at play in this case. If the students had done similar activities in a class on Christianity, a constitutional violation would surely have been found."
He said that, "If the public school's practice is upheld on appeal, all public schools should begin teaching classes on Christianity in the same manner as the Islam class was taught in this case."
Added Edward L. White III, trial counsel with the Law Center: "Rather than teach students about Islam, which is constitutional, the public school crossed the constitutional line and began indoctrinating students."
"The public school", he said, "placed students into the position of being trainees in Islam, which is impermissible in a public school."
Bishop calls for solidarity with victims of tropical storm in Mexico
Mexico City, Mexico, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - Bishop Leopoldo Gonzalez of Tapachula, Mexico, is encouraging Mexicans to reach out to those affected by tropical storm Stan, which caused heavy flooding in the region.
The bishop warned that because the damage in Tapachula is worse than the damage caused by Hurricane Mitch in 1998, donations of food, water, medicine and clothing are urgently needed.
Bishop Gonzalez reported that according to pastors and catechists of the diocese, the more than 40 neighborhoods located near the Coatan River have suffered the most damage. He added that while there are some five thousand people in town of Motozintla who have been displaced by the storm, in the valleys of the Sierra Madre Mountains there have dozens of deaths and hundreds of homes destroyed.
Number of teen pregnancies on the rise in Spain
Madrid, Spain, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - A report issued by health officials in Valencia, Spain, indicates that in the last four years, the number of teen pregnancies in the country has risen from 15.4 cases per 1000 in the year 2000, to 17 cases per 1000 in 2003.
Vicente Rambla, a government health official in Valencia, admitted that efforts to reduced teen pregnancy have been unsuccessful, and he said the data from the report would serve as a basis for a new health plan for 2005-2008, which would emphasize the need to "boost education and foster debate on sexuality."
Rambla stated that teens are engaging in sexual activity at an increasingly earlier age not only because they don't have adequate information but also because they have greater access to contraception. Such factors make it more difficult to achieve the "desired results," he said.
Nevertheless, Rambla said he would not change the policy that allows teens to obtain the morning-after pill without a prescription.
Catholic pharmacists in Spain refuse to sell condoms
Málaga, Spain, Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - A group of pharmacists in Malaga, Spain, many of whom belong to the Spanish Association of Catholic Pharmacists, has refused to yield to pressure to sell condoms at their drug stores, arguing that their refusal is based on "conscientious objection."
According to the Diario de Malaga, the pharmacists say their decision is based on the belief that "the selling of condoms involves a clear incitement to murder." Therefore, they argue that the issue constitutes "in all cases, a problem of conscience."
The decision has provoked a response from the Anti-AIDS Association of Malaga, which calls the matter "a very grave problem." "It's true that we have received a lot of complaints about this decision," said the organization's secretary general, Alicia Cueto.
Despite complaints against the pharmacists, the Malaga newspaper points out that they are legally within their rights to conscientiously object to selling products "that go against their principles." Leandro Martinez, spokesman for the College of Pharmacology in Malaga, said the complaints against the pharmacists were essentially unimportant. "There are so many pharmacies in close proximity of one another that a customer who desires to purchase such a product can simply go to another one," he said.
Catholic music finds home at popular website
Washington D.C., Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - Catholic Music Network (CMN), www.catholicmusicnetwork.com, is celebrating its fifth year as the premier online source for music by today's top Catholic artists.
According to a press release, CatholicMusicNetwork.com was developed by a group of radio and Internet professionals, inspired by a frustrating attempt to find Catholic music on the Internet. "It was a struggle to find an exclusive source of just Catholic artists," stated one of CMN's founders, Doug Archer. "We saw a need and decided to spend our time creating an online portal to help others and to share our love for Catholic music."
Not satisfied to just create an online store they decided to help other Catholic professionals – musicians and songwriters - spread their mission. The web site is also a great resource for musical reviews and news of concerts and events. "Having news and reviews that inform people of new Catholic music and events around the country was a great start for us. It led to many online users who now look to CMN for the latest information on releases, concerts, and events. Also, our audio interviews and profiles have helped make the public aware of the many devoted and talented Catholic artists making great music today," stated Jeff Burson, Vice President of Development.
Catholic Music Network represents over 250 artists with a library of 730 albums. From contemporary to children's to praise and worship, CMN offers a wide array of music styles. In addition to CD's, CatholicMusicNetwork.com also offers DVD's that artists have produced. CMN has a popular Spanish site as well, www.reddemusicacatolica.com, featuring the latest releases in the world of Spanish Catholic music.
When asked about their future plans, CMN stated their desire to produce more radio programs as well as podcasting artist's spotlights with music and interviews. CMN would also like to get more involved with Catholic communities and parishes to promote Catholic music. If parishioners can hear about Catholic music at the parish level, then they might be more inclined to support new and up-and-coming Catholic artists.
Catholic Music Network is the premier online source for Catholic music. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, CatholicMusicNetwork.com enters its sixth year in business. Faithful to the Magisterium of the Church, Catholic Music Network.com is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Archbishop Chaput clarifies Church's stance on death penalty
Denver, Colo., Oct 18, 2005 (CNA) - In his most recent column in the Denver Catholic Register, Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput clarified the Catholic Church's often misunderstood teaching on the death penalty, saying that in almost all cases today, it goes beyond necessity, and into undignified excess.
He compared the Church's teaching on the death penalty to that on acts like abortion, genocide and euthanasia, saying that in the comparison, there is an inequality.
"The death penalty", he wrote, "is not intrinsically evil. Both Scripture and long Christian tradition acknowledge the legitimacy of capital punishment under certain circumstances. The Church cannot repudiate that without repudiating her own identity."
"Catholic teaching on euthanasia, the death penalty, war, genocide and abortion," the archbishop said, "are rooted in the same concern for the sanctity of the human person. But these different issues do not all have the same gravity or moral content. They are not equivalent."
He used war as an applicable example, noting that there are cases in which acts of war are morally legitimate--similar to the death penalty.
However, he pointed out, what the Church's teaching on the death penalty involves is, "a call to set aside unnecessary violence, including violence by the state, in the name of human dignity and building a culture of life."
"In the wake of the bloodiest century in history," Archbishop Chaput said, "the Church invites us to recover our own humanity by choosing God's higher road of restraint and mercy instead of state-sanctioned killing that implicates all of us as citizens."
He cited the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which states that if "non-lethal means are sufficient to defend and protect people's safety from the aggressor [i.e., the convicted murderer], authority [should] limit itself to such means, as these are more in keeping with the concrete conditions of the common good and more in conformity with the dignity of the human person" (2267).
Likewise, he quoted John Paul II, who points out in his Gospel of Life, that "the nature and extent of the punishment [for capital crimes] must be carefully evaluated and decided upon, and ought not to go to the extreme of executing the offender except in cases of absolute necessity; in other words, when it would not be possible otherwise to defend society."
The late Pope noted that "today however, as a result of steady improvements to the organization of the penal system, such cases are very rare, if not practically non-existent."
The archbishop stressed that "(i)n modern industrialized states, killing convicted murderers adds nothing to anyone's safety. It is an excess."
He said that "for John Paul II, the punishment of any crime should not only seek to redress wrong and protect society. It should also encourage the possibility of repentance, restitution and rehabilitation on the part of the criminal. Execution removes that hope."
As the Church recognizes Respect Life Month, being celebrated throughout October, Archbishop Chaput ended his piece with strong words: "Choosing against the death penalty is choosing in favor of life."
"We need to end the death penalty," he said, "and we need to do it soon."

APNewsBreak: Boy Scouts reaffirm ban on gays
NEW YORK After a confidential two-year review, the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday emphatically reaffirmed its policy of excluding gays, ruling out any changes despite relentless protest campaigns by some critics.
An 11-member special committee, formed discreetly by top Scout leaders in 2010, "came to the conclusion that this policy is absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts," the organization' national spokesman, Deron Smith, told The Associated Press.
Smith said the committee, comprised of professional scout executives and adult volunteers, was unanimous in its conclusion - preserving a long-standing policy that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 and has remained controversial ever since.
As a result of the committee's decision, the Scouts' national executive board will take no further action on a recently submitted resolution asking for reconsideration of the membership policy.
The Scouts' chief executive, Bob Mazzuca, contended that most Scout families support the policy, which applies to both leaders and Scouts.
"The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers and at the appropriate time and in the right setting," Mazzuca said. "We fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society."
The president of the largest U.S. gay-rights group, Chad Griffin of the Human Rights Campaign, depicted the Scouts' decision as "a missed opportunity of colossal proportions."
"With the country moving toward inclusion, the leaders of the Boy Scouts of America have instead sent a message to young people that only some of them are valued," he said. "They've chosen to teach division and intolerance."
The Scouts did not identify the members of the special committee that studied the issue, but said in a statement that they represented "a diversity of perspectives and opinions."
"The review included forthright and candid conversation and extensive research and evaluations - both from within Scouting and from outside of the organization," the statement said.
The announcement suggests that hurdles may be high for a couple of members of the national executive board - Ernst & Young CEO James Turley and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson - who have recently indicated they would try to work from within to change the policy. Both of their companies have been commended by gay-rights groups for gay-friendly employment policies.
Stephenson is on track to become president of the Scouts' national board in 2014, and will likely face continued pressure from gay-rights groups to try to end the exclusion policy. Asked for comment on Tuesday about the Scouts' decision to keep the policy, AT&T did not refer to Stephenson's situation specifically.
"We don't agree with every policy of every organization we support, nor would we expect them to agree with us on everything," the company said. "Our belief is that change at any organization must come from within to be successful and sustainable."
A statement from the executive committee of the Scouts' national executive board alluded to the Turley-Stephenson developments.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada recently released a fact sheet entitled, "Accessing Personal Information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act" along with an FAQ for individuals and a guide for businesses as to their responsibilities.
With some exceptions, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) requires organizations to provide individuals with a method of requesting disclosure regarding the personal information collected about those individuals as well as a means for correcting that information.
Subject to certain exceptions:
It is critically important that staff are trained to recognize personal information access requests. These requests do not always come through the "official channels" that have been set up by organizations, such as an address for the Privacy Officer. Although the request will be made in writing, it may come to front-line staff. In addition, organizations should consider developing a protocol for responding to these requests with a check-list for ensuring that all relevant sources of data are reviewed. Access is not limited to documents such as printed records or electronic word-based files. Personal information can include photographs and videos as well as electronic information that is held in multiple locations. A robust records retention policy can assist organizations in locating records as well as ensuring that they are appropriately destroyed to limit retention and, therefore, burdensome access requests.

Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has put Lionel Messi's habit of throwing up on the pitch down to anxiety and the Barcelona forward starts the tournament knowing he is under pressure to replicate Diego Maradona's achievements in 1986 and cement his place in place in football history. It will take more than Messi's magic, though, if Argentina are going to finish their World Cup campaign where they start at the iconic Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.
They have tended to play on the counterattack under Sabella, but the Group F favourites will be forced to take the initiative against Bosnia. For Argentina, attack will be the best form of defence with a fluid frontline that is likely to see Sergio Aguero in a central role, Messi drifting in from the right and Gonzalo Higuain starting on the left of the front three if he recovers from an ankle problem.
Ezequiel Lavezzi offers vibrancy from the bench and the rest of the team is fairly settled, with Javier Mascherano anchoring the midfield and Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria initiating attacks from a deeper position.
Bosnia's instinct is also to attack under Safet Susic, who is expected to move away from the two man strikeforce used in their impressive qualifying campaign and play a 4-2-3-1 system, with star man Edin Dzeko leading the line as the sole striker. The Manchester City forward will be expected to link Bosnia's play and get them in positions to display their attacking quality, with the Zvjezdan Misimovic and Miralem Pjanic providing the creativity in central areas. In their first World Cup appearance, the concern for Susic will be about his team's defence, especially if they fall behind early given the questions over their notoriously unpredictable mentality, with much depending on captain Spahic at centre-back. The only injury concern for Bosnia is Sejad Salihovic. If passed fit, the midfielder will slot in at left-back, allowing Sead Kolasinac to move to centre-back.
Argentina have won nine and lost just one of their last 12 World Cup group games (D2), scoring 24 and conceding just four in total in this run.
La Albiceleste have only mustered two wins in their last nine World Cup games against European sides, drawing four and losing three.
Bosnia-Herzegovina are the only country making their World Cup debut in 2014. Since 1950, the best record for a side making their debut is third, achieved by Portugal in 1966 and Croatia in 1998.
Lionel Messi has only scored one goal in 571 minutes of World Cup football. Indeed only one of his 31 shots in the tournament has found the net.
Argentina have won both previous internationals against the Dragons (both friendlies), scoring seven and conceding none.
Alejandro Sabella's side scored more goals than any other South American side in qualifying (35).
No player was involved in more goals than Edin Dzeko in the European qualifiers (14 – 10 goals, 4 assists).
Dzeko and compatriot Vedad Ibisevic both scored four headed goals in qualification; the strike partners scored all eight of Bosnia's headed goals between them.

When police shot 60 black protestors dead in the Sharpeville massacre, the ANC radicalized and Mandela formed the military wing and became its first commander in 1961.
By 1962, he was imprisoned for inciting a strike and sentenced in 1964 to life in prison.
George Bizos, his friend of more than half a century, said that Mandela's "noble birth" had shaped his respect for others, even his foes.
When Bizos, who is white, first visited Mandela on Robben Island prison a month after his conviction in 1964, no fewer than eight white guards surrounded the prisoner on all sides. After enthusiastically embracing his friend, Mandela politely turned to his captors.
"This place has made me forget my manners, not introducing you to my guards of honor," Mandela told Bizos. "He introduced each one of them by their first and second name. They were really numbed by his behavior, and a white man embracing a black man."
He was "never aloof," Bizos told ABCNews.com in 2010.
But the man behind the prison-bound martyr was as complicated as he was celebrated.
"Sometimes I feel like the one who is on the sidelines who has missed life itself," he wrote in one of his letters, chronicled in the Anthony Sampson biography, "Mandela."
Mandela's release from prison at the age of 76 led to negotiations that ended decades of racist white rule and set the stage for his presidency in South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994.
He served one term and then retired from political life in 1999, establishing the Nelson Mandela Foundation to fight poverty, AIDS and illiteracy in Africa. Since then, his life story has been a beacon to the world.
But Mandela's personal life was fraught with operatic tragedy.
When then-president de Klerk released him from Victor Verster prison Feb. 11, 1990, Mandela learned that his wife of 30 years had been unfaithful.
His oldest and favorite son, Thembi, never once visited him in prison, and Mandela only learned about his death in a car accident by telegram in 1969.
He married his first wife, Evelyn Mase, in 1944, but they divorced after arguments over his political involvement. They had four children, a daughter who died in infancy and two sons who perished in adulthood. Mase died in 2005.
But it was his second wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, who caused him crushing humiliation, taking a lover to her home while he was confined to prison.
"It was real agony for him, genuinely horrible," James Sanders, researcher for the biography, "Mandela," said. "She was a big superstar and she had a lover in her house."
Their long, passionate romance began in 1957. She was a social worker and 16 years younger than the 38-year-old activist. Marrying a year later, the couple radiated both political and sexual energy. They had two girls.
Madikizela-Mandela was never allowed to assume the role of first lady because of her infidelities.
Still active in South African politics, she is held in both awe as the "Mother of the Nation" and contempt, for her alleged involvement in human rights abuses, including the torture and murder of 14-year-old activist Stompie Moeketsi in 1989.
Just this month, South African prosecutors said they are considering charges against her, which she denied, following the exhumation of bodies believed to belong to two young activists last seen at her home 24 years ago.
But Mandela loved again, capping his 80th birthday in 1998 with his marriage to Graca Machel, the 52-year-old widow of Mozambican president Samora Machel, who died in a 1986 plane crash.
"Late in my life, I am blooming like a flower because of the love and support she has given me," Mandela said of the child rights activist, whom he met shortly after he was released from prison.
"If I could say in a very modest way that's what I was able to give him back," Machel, a noted campaigner for children's rights, said in a 1998 interview. "I'm happy that in his sunset years I was able to be there for him. And he is there for me."

Re: Clothing optional sailing
I grew up in an extremely conservative family where the idea of being naked served no purpose in life. No even in the shower alone. However, I also grew up with a different outlook and explored it once I got to be old enough. I swore I would not allow my kids to grow in that retarded environment full of taboos. My wife in the other hand, grew up in a very open family environment where nudity was common place daily. We have both enjoyed nudity in beaches and out to sea everywhere we have been.
It is always funny to me that once you mention nude beach, or nude boat, or nude anything the first thing that comes to mind to most people is how good they or anyone else look naked or something sexual. Truth is most people don't really care, and not even notice 3 min into it. I don't go nude anywhere so others see how great I look or how "enticing" I can be without clothing, nor do I think that anyone else does it for that reason. However, that is the most commonly mentioned thing.
I went to a beach in Italy last summer where everyone was nude, including me, wife, and both of my boys (7 and 9). An 80 y.o. lady sat next to us, got naked, and spent the day there like nothing. She had a colostomy bag secondary to a colon resection (colon cancer in her case). I am a doctor and did not think a darn thing about it other than how courageous it was for her to be out as a survivor doing what she liked and enjoyed at her age. When I came back to the US, I told the story to someone and they were petrified and mortified. Their words were "I would die if I had to see that". That was the stupidest thing I could hear, but that is common I guess..........

Wrist snap question

What's the exercise for that?
You've already got great answers above - there just is no one "secret" that will unlock more power.
Clearly, the source of power in tennis is using all the components of the kinetic chain firing precisely at the right time - any lag or early firing interferes with the build up in power.
The above is an approximation - we can't break a person down an isolate one aspect like we can a machine.
If you want an intellectual understanding of the biomechanics of the serve and forehand, I would urge you take even the limited subscription to tennisplayer.net and read the fascinating analyses by Brian Gordon [I think he does a great job of explaining his pioneering computer modeling research in easy to understand terminology.]
(Because of copyright laws, I don't have a sample of the system he uses, but it perhaps can be considered an extension of the APAS system analysis developded by Vic Braden and And Fitzell. Even without narration or explanation, your own observation can see the leg pushoff, core/hip rotation, setting up the arm in the correct orientation to transfer all that power eventually through the wrist/hand/racquet to the ball.
Roger Federer Forehand on the APAS System
Andy Roddick Serve on the APAS System
[A word on timing. Because Brian Gordon can place sensors all over any tennis players body, he can determine not only if all the body movements are correct, but if they are firing their legs, shoulders, or arms a tiny fraction of a second too early or too late so that they can begin corrective action.
This thread is about "wrist snap".
As mentioned above the bulk of power comes from the whole body acting in a co-ordinated fashion.
Just as the power in a car is its engine and the gears and differential "only" serve to transfer the power to the wheels, so too does the wrist "only" transfer the power to hand/racket.
But engineers spend countless hours working on gearboxes and differentials to transfer that power to the engine.
It is only natural that we tennis players try to understand what is happening at the wrist to transfer that energy from the body through the hand and racquet to the ball.
What exercise to do?
A basic principle is that the closer the exercise is to the sports activity, the quicker you see results.
So spending more time practicing/playing tennis - and being certain you have correct technique - leads to the quickest gains in power.
But there are three problems with only playing tennis and not doing an off court conditioning program:
1. Muscular weakness prevents proper stroke set up/execution. Many have weaknesses that prevent them from doing what the pros do for power [an example would be difficulty balancing going into a deep knee bend, shoulder wind and backward lean from the heels in the trophy position - some players really need to do squats to have the leg, core and muscles that connect the leg to the core strength to get into a powerful trophy position from which they can explode.]
2. Overuse injuries. Tennis requires countless hours on the court practicing bashing the ball. The "hitting muscles" are getting stronger and stronger and can overpower the "resisting" or "stopping" muscles. Too much energy is then
transferred to non-elastic ligaments, tendons and joints. Overuse injuries result. Doing off court strengthening exercises increases the strength in elastic muscle to absorb all the hitting energy, and allow a player to bash with a decreased chance of incurring an overuse injury.
3. Explosive plyometric exercises cause overuse injuries. Many players decide to take up explosive jumping and medicine ball throwing exercises to increase power [Power = Force x Velocity]. But explosive power exercises have a high liklehood of causing overuse injuries for the same reason I described above for tennis overuse injuries. Only now those players are doing two activities that may result in an overuse injury - plyometrics plus tennis! Any surprise many "break down"? So a period of increasing overall strength better prepares the muscles/tendons/ligaments/joints to absorb plyometrics and tennis.
For all the above reasons, a total body workout program divided into strength gains before plyometrics is recommended. If you are interested, I urge you to read The Elite Approach to Tennis Strength Training
In it, there is a stress on a shoulder, forearm and wrist program of exercises done concurrently. The exercises listed are good, but the best I have found for this is the Thrower's Ten Exercises
I hope this helps.

Can someone help me to remove MMCalDav from my computer?
by H825 - 5/3/13 11:00 AM
I have a problem with MMCalDav and I do not know how to rid it off from my computer. I hope someone can help.
My OS is Windows 7 and I am running IE 10 and occasionally Firfox 20.0.1. The problem occurred several weeks ago, when I downloaded "Google Chrome" I did somehow type User name and Password into MMCalDav. Now I can't open Google using IE 10. When tried to open, the Popup User and Password windows said; Windows security. The server www.google.com at MMCalDav requires a User Name and Password, and prevent me to go further. Moreover, my Google is now unauthorized when I tried to open Google search.
I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.

Sonsona, Saludar to headline Hoops Dome card
THE much-anticipated fight between former WBO superflyweight champion "Marvelous" Marvin Sonsona and Carlos "El Flaco" Fulgencio of the Dominican Republic will be held on March 17 at the Hoops Dome in Lapulapu City.
Cebu boxing fans can also look forward to an added bonus because of the addition of the WBO World Youth Flyweight title bout between Froilan "The Sniper" Saludar and Alejandro "Terrible" Morales of Mexico.
Promoter Sammy Gello-ani informed Cebu Daily News that this fight card headlines the grand opening of the Pinoy KO television show, which will be shown on AKTV.
The 22-year-old Saludar (14W-0L-1D, 11 KOs) will be tested when he faces his first Mexican opponent.
This will be Saludar's second fight in Cebu. Two years ago, he beat Ryan Illustrisimo by unanimous decision in Mabolo.
Gello-ani's SGG Promotions later decided to promote Saludar's fights in Cavite. He went on a hot streak, stopping eight opponents in a row and winning WBO regional and youth titles. He is the brother of 2010 Asian Games gold medalist Rey Saludar.
The 23-year-old Morales (13W-1L, 7 KOs) will be fighting for the first time outside of his country. He suffered his lone career loss last year by first round TKO to Julio Ceja but bounced back with a points win over Israel Rojas.
Meanwhile, SGG Promotions will have a double main event at the Cebu Coliseum on March 4.
It will feature the WBO Asia Pacific Interim Championship between Weng Haya and Jose Ocampo of Manila and the mandatory defense of Philippine lightweight champion Jay Solmiano against Rey Labao (challenger). /Correspondent Rene Bonsubre

"Atheism is a religion like baldness is a hairstyle." Borrowed from Two Cult Survivor, who says "It's not. But it is. But it's not." He points out that if we accept freedom of religion, the decision not to follow any religion is a "religious choice" deserving of equal respect and noncoercion.
"When a theist claims atheism is a religion, the appropriate response ... is to say 'You do not want me forcing my religion on you or your children, and I do not want you forcing your religion on me or mine.'"

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The analysts are trying to get you out of stocks at just the moment you should be staying in, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Wednesday. Cramer said after years of being criticized for being too bullish, the analyst community now appears to be permanently skeptical.
That was the case with with two Cramer faves, United Technologies (UTX) and Honeywell (HON), the latter a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. He said both stocks received downgrades today, panned for, of all things, being too broadly loved on Wall Street. This came at a time when both companies are offering investors growth, dividends and stock buybacks.
Wendy's (WEN) also received a downgrade today despite only being a fraction of the way into its turnaround efforts, which are bringing new restaurants and a new menu to its stores. Why sell now? asked Cramer.The banks is another sector coming under fire by the analysts, Cramer noted, just as bad loans are winding down and the net interest margins are ramping higher. KeyCorp (KEY) and U.S. Bancorp (USB), two more Action Alerts PLUS names, also got tagged with unwarranted downgrades. Even Twitter (TWTR) has not been immune to the analysts' new-found pessimism, Cramer concluded.

Gameday Preview: Kings Ascension
Kent Wilson
December 09 2010 10:41AM
One of the Flames better wins this year was over this same Kings team back near the start of October. Calgary played relatively well and the combination of that with home ice advantage plus LA being on the second night of a B2B handed the Flames the victory. Since then, the two clubs have largely gone in opposite directions, although a recent cold snap has the Kings hunting for "the next piece" that will help them get back on top of the Western Conference standings.

22 November 2013 23:59 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Europe November methyl methacrylate (MMA) contract prices have decreased from the previous month on the back of lower feedstock costs, buyers and sellers said on Friday.
November MMA contract prices are at €1,780-1,840/tonne ($2,405-2,486/tonne) FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe).
Upstream acetone and propylene contract prices in November fell by €28/tonne and €30/tonne respectively.
MMA players are keeping a close eye on developments in the propylene market because December contract negotiations will get underway next week.
Sources expect propylene prices to roll over or increase moderately because of firmer naphtha values, the potential for supply to be constrained further because of reductions in cracker operating rates, and seasonally weak demand.
The MMA market is balanced to long and demand is stable to soft.
Fourth-quarter MMA contract prices settled at €1,780-1,830/tonne FD NWE.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
You'd never know it based on her latest project, the jazz- and soul-primed outfit oddly named Joan as Police Woman. (The name originated after a friend commented that the thenbleach blonde, polyester-pantsuitwearing Wasser looked like Angie Dickinson in the '70s cop show Police Woman.) For many, her new album, Real Life, will seem uncharacteristically mellow and vulnerable. Since the Dambuilders' breakup 10 years ago, Wasser has kept busy supporting other musicians and, in turn, learning a bit about herself. Touring with Rufus Wainwright as a solo act prepared her for the spotlight, while playing in Antony and the Johnsons taught her that it's OK to be quiet.
But the biggest challenge for a woman once known for her piercing, tough-guy scream was finding her singing voice. "I wanted to sound like Sarah Vaughan or something," she says. "Like, 'Why don't I sound like that?' Well, you're not that." Wasser eventually settled into a drawling croon that sounds natural and effortless, even as it's fluttering up into the high notes. And as a whole, Real Life is powerful but delicate, strong but unlikely to pick a fight. The album's most strangely captivating track, "Eternal Flame," accents a tune about what it must be like being the Statue of Liberty with lusty whispers and melismatic gospel backups, all provided by Wasser. Other tracks thrive on their simplicity, like the subdued and weary "The Ride" and the dark unrequited-love lament "Christobel." Mentor Antony co-penned "I Defy," a soulful duet she described at a recent show as "about being proud of being a freak."
Though the album has fleeting moments of violin, Wasser now operates mainly on piano and guitar. "All of my emotional outpouring was not happening through the violin any longer, and I was starting to feel crazy," she says, adding, "You can't really write songs on the violin." But she also received help in the studio from bassist Rainy Orteca and drummer Ben Perowsky, who support Wasser's live sets whenever logistically possible, including an upcoming European tour. Real Life got a warm reception after its release there last year, making Wasser anxious for the stateside debut. "Now that people care overseas, I do want my country to care," she says. "Just a little bit."

Wilderness: Pufferfish Poisoning
In this article
Pufferfish Poisoning Overview
The poison found in pufferfish, blowfish, balloon fish, toads, sunfish, porcupine fish, toadfish, globefish, and swellfish is a tetrodotoxin. This is one of the most toxic poisons found in nature. Most people who eat pufferfish do so intentionally; pufferfish are considered an Asian delicacy, served in some types of sushi and sashimi. Unless the chef is specially trained to cut the meat in a particular fashion, the dish may contain a large amount of the toxin. Pufferfish poisoning is similar to paralytic shellfish poisoning.
Pufferfish Poisoning Symptoms
- Symptoms generally occur 10-45 minutes after eating the pufferfish poison and begin with numbness and tingling around the mouth, salivation, nausea, and vomiting.
- Symptoms may progress to paralysis, loss of consciousness, and respiratory failure and can lead to death.
Pufferfish Poisoning Treatment
- Vomiting should be induced if the poisoned person is awake and alert and has eaten the fish within 3 hours.
- The person may become paralyzed. Artificial respirations may keep the person alive until medical attention in a hospital's emergency department is possible.
- Rapidly turn the person onto his or her side if vomiting occurs.
When to Seek Medical Care
Seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

The relationship of Alex Gomez and Bianca Gomez to the group was uncertain, deputies said.
Deputies also released the name of Jennifer Rotter, 19, who they said was indicted on suspicion of selling black tar heroin but was not yet in custody.
Identities of the other four suspects still at large were not disclosed.
As of late Friday, Billup and Parra Jr. each had been charged with suspicion of transportation of narcotics and was being held on $75,000 bail. Mario Parra was charged on suspicion of transportation of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance and held without bail. He has an appearance set for Friday in Vista Superior Court.
Gomez was charged on three counts of suspicion of transportation of narcotics and held on $100,000 bail. The others had yet to have bail set. In all cases, Superior Court judges have until July 27 to set initial court appearances.
Friday's arrests represent the second big black tar heroin bust in the past year or so in San Diego County. Local and federal officials participating in a national roundup called Operation Tar Pit, arrested 200 people nationally in June 2000, 32 of those arrests were in San Diego County.
Those arrested had cash, small amounts of methamphetamine and cocaine and recruited dealers from the ranks of methadone clinic clients, authorities said in June 2000.
Authorities said then that black tar heroin, which is injected, was 10 to 15 times stronger than the heroin used in the 1960s and 1970s and its purity ranges from 60 percent to 90 percent.

The Commission voted 6-1 in favor of fluoride, not a surprise at all after the board members expressed their views at a workshop last week. Commissioner Norm Roche, who at one point after the election had said that he had seen the light and would support fluoride, again went back to where he says he's been since 2003, when the county initially voted to add the chemical into the county's water supply.
"The science is not crystal clear," Roche said at the end of the three and a half hour meeting, again calling for a referendum to allow the citizenry to decide for themselves. Sensitive to charges that he is carrying the Tea Party's water on the board, Roche insisted that his thinking was "not ideological, not partisan," adding sarcastically that there had been no "super secret right-wing Tea Party meeting" that allowed him to come to his decision.
The hearing by citizens speaking either in support of or against fluoride. Actually, the vast majority spoke against it, and some speakers were visceral in their anger towards the commission.
Several dentists or dental assistants did come out to voice their support for the board's decision, fueled by this month's election that saw two County Commission candidates - Democrats Charlie Justice and Janet Long - defeat their Republican opponents who supported removing fluoride last year. That's led to claims by the media that their elections were a referendum on fluoride, a statement fiercely contested by opponents.
71-year-old fluoride critic Marge Baker was the first of three speakers to break out the Hitler card, saying that the former German leader put the chemical into the drinking water supply for prisoners to make them calm. She ended her time at the dais by claiming the board was trying to kill her.
Vonabell Sherman said she was "dumbfounded" that the board would put a "toxin" in the water, and said she had her "momma bear claws" out to protect herself and her family. "You have no right to medicate the people of Pinellas County," she averred.
One of the Tea Party activists who has become a regular over the years at the BOCC, Hamilton Hanson, came through with another Nazi reference, suggesting that perhaps the next step from the government would be to release "gas out of the chamber."
And so it went.
County officials said that they would be able to put inserts in the water bills of all citizens in either January or February, meaning fluoride will be back in the water supply by March 1, 2013.
Some cities in the county like St. Petersburg, Gulfport and Belleair never took fluoride out of their water supply. Other communities voted to add fluoridation in the wake of the 2011 vote.

Agile at Scale with Hoshin Kanri
When organizations decide to scale agile they can be looking for agile ways to define strategies, manage direction and sustain alignment. Deploying and stay aligned, is today's challenge said Pierre Neis. At the Lean Kanban France 2014 conference Pierre showed how using Hoshin Kanri has helped global players in their lean agile transition.
Intrinsic Agile Coaching with Storytelling
Teams can share their experiences with other teams and coaches through storytelling. Agile coaches can facilitate a process of sharing experiences to empower teams and help them becoming self-organized said Patrick Steyaert and Wim Bollen. They showed a technique based upon archetype construction to draw learning's from team stories which teams can use to design and travel their own agile journey.
The Importance of Technical Practices in Agile
Sometimes organizations that are adopting agile complain that they didn't get the benefits that they expected to get out of it. One of the possible reasons could be that insufficient attention has been given to performing the technical practices that support the agile values and principles.
Kickstart Agile the Kanban Way
Successful adoption of agile is related to the approach that is used to introduce changes in the organization. Organization can do a top down "mandated" implementation or use a different approach. Kanban can be used as a way to kick start agile, allowing teams to opt-in to agile practices when they feel ready for it to create a sustainable new way of working .
Death by Planning in Agile Adoption
Management can get the feeling of losing control when their enterprise adopts agile and starts deploying self-organizing teams. Procedures, review boards and consultation bodies can become superfluous when switching to an agile approach, but they may not realize that, says Marcel Heijmans. Trying to regain control with additional planning can make things worse, causing "death by planning".
Huge Retrospectives with Online Games
Agile retrospectives are mostly done at the team level or at a project level. What if you need to conduct a retrospective with 50 teams or more? Luke Hohmann describes how a large scale agile transformation project did a huge retrospective to create insight on what was going well and what needed to be improved.
Delivering More Software Without Adding People
As the need for software products and services increases organizations look for ways to increase their capacity. Often organizations decide to scale up by adding more people. Some question this approach and suggest alternative ways to be able to deliver more software without adding people.
Q&A with Fridtjof Detzner about Scaling and Continuous Improvement at Jimdo
How can you make a company grow without sacrificing it's culture? InfoQ talked with Fridtjof Detzner, co-founder of DIY website creator Jimdo, about how Jimdo started and scaled up using agile and why Jimdo uses kaizen and retrospectives to improve continuously.
Q&A with Tasktop CEO Mik Kersten on New Product Release - Tasktop Release 3.5

Examples Showing How You Can Scale Scrum
Larger organization often have the desire to use Scrum beyond the team level. This news explores some examples of what organizations do to adopt an agile way of working across the enterprise by scaling Scrum.
Agile and Lean Service Management for Enterprises
Agile software development or Scrum is not enough to make your enterprise truly deliver on the Agile promises, says Dave van Herpen. He suggests that IT service management should apply agile and lean practices combined with DevOps to improve collaboration throughout the entire enterprise.
Mike Beedle Releases Enterprise Scrum Definition 1.01
Enterprise Scrum Definition Release 1.01 released by Mike Beedle as business-oriented, scalable, general empirical management and execution framework.
Using Scrum of Scrums with Agile Teams to Coordinate and Collaborate
Scrum of scrums can be used to scale the daily stand-up meeting when multiple teams are involved. Its purpose is to support agile teams in collaborating and coordinating their work with other teams. Several authors have shared views on scrum of scrums, with experiences of using them.
Applying Use Cases in Agile: Use Case 2.0, Slicing and Laminating
To incrementally develop and deliver products using agile software development, requirements are gathered and organized into a product backlog. A requirement technique that is used in agile software development is use cases. Some techniques to apply use cases for managing product requirements in agile are use case 2.0, slicing and laminating.
How to Scale the Product Owner Role
The product owner role from Scrum is used to interface between the business and development. In larger organization with complex products and many decisions that need to be made, having this role filled in by one person is often not feasible. InfoQ did an interview with Timo Punkka about the role of the product owner, lean portfolio management, and customer collaboration.

Iran threatens U.S. fleet
"Sinking an aircraft carrier is not a very difficult task" --the words of IRGC Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh. He made the comments during an interview with the Iranian gov'ts FARS news agency and was clearly referring to the U.S. Navy carrier groups operating in the region. DoD spokesman Captain John Kirby responded in his own words, "we are very comfortable with our force posture in the region and the defensive capabilities those forces possess."

Can anyone recommend some natural remedies for heartburn, or some strategies for dealing with it, or foods to eat/avoid to minimize it? I'm at 22 weeks and the heartburn is unrelenting. It's like torture! Any help appreciated.
mama to H. 4/05 and A. 9/08 and baby C. 10/11
I'm sorry you feel lousy... I remember that feeling all too well, and it stinks!!
Mi vida loca: full-time WOHM, frugalista, foodie wannabe, 10+ years of TCOYF
R-E-S-P-E-C-T spells BRAND NEW User Agreement!!
Sorry you're suffering! Some ideas: yogurt before bed; sleeping semi-upright; TUMS; aloe vera juice; digestive enzymes; avoiding triggers like spicy, gassy, and acidic foods (coffee, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, broccoli, beans, etc), not drinking with your meals (but definitely between them), and waiting until the baby drops (that sucks, I know).
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
Totally not natural but during both of my pregnancies I popped tums and rolaids every day.
Earlier in pregnancy (I'm 33wks now) I was having a lot of success with a shot of apple cider vinegar diluted in some water. Now, I finally had to break down and use Zantac (at my OB's recommendation). Since using the Zantac, I have had COMPLETE relief from heartburn. It's heavenly.
I had to break down and do a week of Prilosec. My heartburn was so bad that I couldn't eat or drink hardly anything and that wasn't good for the baby either.
Annie wife v2.0 to DH and joyfully parenting DSS 20 , DSD 17 , DSD 16 , DSS 14, heart hero DD 4 and DS due 6/2015 . 8/2010
I just want to add that you should be careful about tums. I popped a ton of them with my last pregnancy and ended up with kidney stones from too much calcium!
A little baking soda in a glass of water. Tastes horrible but nutrilizes the acid.
Papaya enzymes for sure! I'm 34 weeks right now and heartburn is a frequent companion of mine and I can eat the enzymes as needed without worrying about too much calcium or aluminum. They aid digestion too whereas antacids stop the entire process.
I found that specifically the Papaya Enzymes Plus "After Meal Supplement" by American Health was more helpful than just regular papaya enzymes were for me. If you can find those, I recommend them. And I don't feel bad popping them like Tums. But if I really need it, I have used Tums. Also, a slurp of almond milk has been helpful too. I'm not sure why that works, but it has been helpful for me before bed. Also, not eating during the 2-3 hours before bed helps too, and sleeping with 3 or 4 pillows to elevate helps. Good luck!!!

NEW YORK - Stocks are opening sharply lower ahead of a planned House vote on an unpopular $700 billion plan to rescue troubled financial companies. Investors are also looking over Citigroup Inc.'s deal to buy Wachovia Corp.'s banking operations.
Investors fear the government's plan to buy up toxic debt won't be sufficient to resuscitate nearly frozen credit markets. Demand for Treasury bills, seen as the safest of investments, remained high ahead of the vote.
Meanwhile, the deal for Wachovia's banking operations removes concerns about the bank's health; it has billions of dollars in soured mortgage-related assets.
The Dow Jones industrial average is down 147 at the 10,995 level.
