Wu-Tang Clan to Produce and Sell One Copy of Secret Album
As we patiently wait for the Wu-Tang Clan to drop their next album 'A Better Tomorrow,' there's another project that has been recorded in secret over the past six years.
As we patiently wait for the Wu-Tang Clan to drop their next album 'A Better Tomorrow,' there's another project that has been recorded in secret over the past six years.
With the latest Wu-Tang Clan album finished and just waiting to be be released, RZA has been spending his time preparing to defend his title at a celebrity speed chess tournament.
For fans of hip-hop, a rapper making the transition into acting comes as little surprise since virtually every aspect of his or her behavior on record, and on stage, qualifies as a something of a theatrical performance
Celebrities and musicians are still mourning over the untimely death of Paul Walker.
RZA talks about the new Wu-Tang Clan album and addresses issues with Raekwon on 'Arsenio.'
There's Boogie Down Production's 'Criminal Minded. The Beastie Boys' legendary 'Licensed to Ill. Eric B. & Rakim's 'Paid in Full.' Hip-hop has plenty of albums that are considered landmarks in the culture, but what do they mean for the casual fan? They're essential listens and are still on the playlist for many, but for others, do they extend beyond hip-hop homework? The answer is yes, with Wu-Tang Clan's epochal 'Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)' being one without question.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival saw a handful of amazing performances over the weekend, but few could top the Wu-Tang Clan, who reunited on stage last night at the festival's Outdoor Theatre
In an interview with Hot 97 DJ Enuff, Kanye West has responded to receiving No. 7 on MTV's Hottest MCs list, saying Big Sean should have made the list, but that his personal pick for No. 1 is Lil Wayne. The best part of the call is when he claims to have given Sway his first TV, then ha
After first appearing in a handful of projects by writer-director Jim Jarmusch like 'Coffee and Cigarettes', RZA (aka Robert Diggs) quickly demonstrated he had as much of an aptitude for acting as he did an affection for the art form as a whole. Admittedly, RZA is a little stiff on screen, but that's od

B Line Traffic Schools has divided the course into 8 easy-to-follow units that use multiple media types in an interactive format to help maintain the student's attention while imparting the necessary information.

As Medical Director of the EJGH Emergency Department for almost 20 years, Dr. John Wales takes to heart the mission of East Jefferson General Hospital – to deliver the highest quality, compassionate care to the patients and community we serve. As a former Chair of The Foundation Board of Trustees, he embodies the philanthropic spirit by leading through example.
Dr. Wales had heard about new technologies that made it easier and faster to intubate patients. So through a donor directed gift to The Foundation, he took it upon himself to make sure his Emergency Physicians were getting the best equipment to provide their patients with the best care possible.
When you plan a gift to the East Jefferson General Hospital Foundation through your long–term estate or financial plans, your legacy ensures our community–owned hospital will be here to serve the generations to come.
Making a planned gift is easier than you may think and, depending on the gift arrangement you choose, you can:
To get started, we encourage you to explore our new Planned Giving website at: www.ejgh.org/plannedgiving.
In 1970, Tom O'Brien and his wife Hope Riley O'Brien lived nearby and watched East Jefferson General Hospital built from the ground up. That started a life-long relationship with his community hospital.
Hope passed away of renal failure on March 1, 2010, after what Tom says was "60 of the most wonderful years" of his life. It was his gratefulness for the compassionate care given to him and his wife by Dr. Chuck Cucchiara, his belief in the mission of The Foundation, and his commitment to his community hospital that inspired him to make a generous donation to The Foundation in memory of Hope. The gift is designated for the building of the new Infusion Center.
The Foundation at East Jefferson General Hospital is pleased to announce its Annual Golf Classic, presented by EJ After Hours Urgent Care, to be held at Metairie Country Club on Monday, May 13, 2013. This year marks several firsts for the Annual Classic: it is the first time there has been a presenting sponsor; it is the first time it is being held at Metairie Country Club; and it is the first charity tournament hosted by Metairie Country Club.
"This year's tournament is a major step forward in the evolution of the Annual Golf Classic," says Marc Eagan, Annual Golf Classic Chair. "It has become, without a doubt, one of the premier events in our region. Our goal is to make this a world-class event, so that in the end, we can further the efforts of our world-class, community hospital."

Pune: Stung after dna report last week that he did not have time for public, the new Police Commissioner Satish Mathur decided to meet the people, after all. On Monday, Mathur met those who come for the darbar at the Commissioner's office.
The darbar was introduced a few years ago where the commissioner would hear public grievances personally. At the darbar people could tell the commissioner about their issues that were not addressed at the police stations. Thereafter, the commissioner would ask his subordinates to look into their matter. Mathur's predecessors used to attend it almost on a daily basis between 4 and 5 pm. On an average, 25 people come to the commissioner office. The tradition was discontinued by Mathur for almost a month as he felt it was not his job to meet people and his subordinates should be engaging them.
On Monday, however, Mathur decided to meet the people after dna's report last week revealing Mathuri's reluctance.Mathur tweaked the darbar concept and met people in his own chamber rather than in the corridor.
Senior officers, who had been wary of the commissioner's earlier stance, welcomed the change saying it would go a long way in establishing connect between him and the Punekars.
Mathur refused to divulge any details on what made him change his mind and start meeting people.

Husbands family won't leave!
Contact an attorney and speak to them about tenants rights and the eviction process in your state. In a lot of states 5 weeks is plenty of time t establish tenant rights. Figure out, with said attorney, what you have to do to evict them.
- Working Mother, Wife, and Witch, in no particular order.
You could change the locks and have their stuff out on the front lawn. I think they'd get the message loud and clear.
"I can't offer you anything but stunt hoagies." - 2Pac
Give them a move out date now, like August 4th.
If they refuse to move you will need to contact a lawyer or your local goverment about how to evict them legally.
You could bookmark or print out a bunch of apartments online along with a newspaper and hand it to them. Tell them "hey look at all the great apartments I found, you have appointments tomorrow to look at them".
Mister Man born 5/29/12
Don't listen to anyone who just tells you to kick them out, ut their stuff on the lawn, change the locks, etc. Look into the landlord/tenant laws and consult a lawyer before you take any steps like that, because these people may have rights under those laws, regardless of whether or not they are paying rent.
OMGing, WTFing, MMOBing mama!

The institutional environment
Though ballet has remained separated into two factions with clashing aesthetics—traditional and contemporary—the art everywhere has retained certain structures inherited from previous centuries. Nearly all ballet companies operate within a similar frame, that of the opera house or theatre, and depend on certain institutional organizations and configurations.
Ballet is an assembly of several elements, of which some remain fixed whereas others can be dropped or adapted to relevant conditions. There has to be a ballet company and a building that offers a stage for performance. There has to be a repertoire—a number of works that are produced and staged, with new ballets devised and added to the existing body of works. Music or sound must be available, although the traditional orchestra has been increasingly replaced by technologies that reproduce sound cheaply and reliably; the music may be altered—to the annoyance of the composer—to fit performance needs. Stage sets may be essential to a ballet, but they can be excluded from productions. The number of dancers is flexible; cast numbers can be enlarged or diminished. Dance training can be part and parcel of the company or left to independent schools.
Even in the early 21st century, ballet is closely linked to—often completely dependent on—the hierarchical organization of the theatre and opera house. Through a sophisticated division of labour their structure provides all the services that a ballet company requires to run smoothly, from a ticket office to rehearsal management, from accounting to sales of food and souvenirs during intermissions, from advertising and public relations departments to dramaturgy, from lighting to set and costume design and production.
Closely connected to the structural dependence of ballet on the opera house is the problem of funding, which has much to do with establishing new (or maintaining existing) companies. An interesting question—but one that will not be further examined here—is the relationship of the funding structure to the creation of experimental work. Which is more likely to foster the creation of new and unusual works: state funds or private enterprises?
In Europe, governments, democratic or otherwise, generally continued long-established traditions of state patronage of the arts and their associated institutions and organizations. For example, the renowned Royal Ballet in London is a subsidiary of the Royal Opera House, a charitable trust that receives grants from Arts Council England, which contributes more than two-fifths of the budgets of the national opera and dance companies collectively. Continental European companies receive even more subsidies. Public money in Germany, for example, subsidizes more than 80 opera companies. The French government subsidizes the Paris Opéra and the Paris Opéra Ballet; the Royal Danish Ballet is part of the Royal Danish Theatre. Both the French and the Danish companies are public institutions. In 2001 the Belgian opera house La Monnaie received nearly 75 percent of its budget from public—primarily federal and municipal—funds.
Ballet companies in the United States, in contrast, are largely dependent on private funding, and this circumstance requires them to be responsive to the demands of individual donors. Ticket sales provide only a small fraction of the needed funds. The distinctly American New York City Ballet, founded by the impresario Lincoln Kirstein and George Balanchine, is independent of any larger institution. Its home, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, in New York City, hosts and offers support services to 12 resident organizations. Yet only 5 percent of the centre's funding is provided by federal, state, and local governments, and it must rely on generous contributions by private foundations, friends, and supporters—including individual patrons as well as major corporations. The American Ballet Theatre also has to rely on "the support and generosity of an exceptional group of members, donors, corporate sponsors and friends," as does the San Francisco Ballet. The Miami City Ballet has to secure more than half of its income through private, mostly individual, gifts. All these companies include long and detailed lists of donors in their programs and employ elaborate fund-raising strategies to guarantee their survival.

Right-hander Yu Darvish will start the Texas Rangers' first playoff game, whether that's a one-game playoff or the first of a five-game series. Manager Ron Washington made the announcement before Wednesday's game at the Oakland Athletics. "When we play again, he'll be our pitcher," Washington said. Darvish, who signed a six-year, $56 million contract over the offseason, finished the regular season with a 16-9 record and 3.90 ERA in 29 starts. The 26-year-old won his final four decisions and hasn't lost in his past six outings. He last pitched on Sunday, allowing three runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Angels. ''He was searching to find what he was capable of doing over here," Washington said of Darvish's first season since leaving Japan. "And I think he realizes now that competing in a relaxed, trusting and believing, that there was something he was searching for all year and he finally found it."

Ibrahim case reflects deeper problems in Sudan, says bishop
Yambio, Jul 14, 2014 (CNA/EWTN News) -
The "disgraceful case" of Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim is only one of many examples of discrimination and harassment faced by Christians in Sudan, a bishop in the region has said.
"Christians in Sudan can attend divine service unmolested, but there is no genuine freedom of religion and conscience in the country," Bishop Edward Kussala told Aid to the Church in Need July 10.
Bishop Kussala heads the Diocese of Tombura-Yamibo in South Sudan, a country which became independent from its northern neighbor in 2011. The region suffered a bloody civil war from 1983 to 2005.
Ibrahim, who was born to a Muslim father but raised a Christian, was sentenced to death in May 2014 for alleged apostasy from Islam. She was also sentenced to flogging for adultery on the grounds that Sudanese law does not recognize her marriage to a Christian man. Ibrahim, who would not renounce her faith, gave birth to a baby girl in prison with her legs shackled.
She was released on appeal in late June, re-arrested while trying to leave the country, then released again. She and her husband are presently at the U.S. Embassy to Sudan, hoping to move to the U.S., where her husband is a citizen.
Bishop Kussala said that there are other religious freedom problems in Sudan. Priests and bishops live "as de facto illegals" and are barred from holding passports.
"They cannot leave the country and would likely be barred from returning should they leave," the bishop said.
Some priests have been expelled from the country, and "the bishops are condemned to remain silent," he added.
About 3 million Christians live in Sudan. While they have the same constitutional rights as Muslims, these are not enforced equally and the Sudanese government holds Christians responsible for the breakaway of South Sudan.
Bishop Kussala said that the Church "does not pursue any political aims."
"We only call upon politicians to respect freedom of religious faith and conscience."
In May, Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) suggested that the Sudanese' government's refusal to recognize religious fredom was a motivation for the region's lengthy civil war.
Sudan's population is 97 percent Muslim, and the nation scored an 11 out of 100 in Transparency International's 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index, ranking at 174 out of 177 among nations based on the perception of their public sector corruption – ahead of only Afghanistan, North Korea, and Somalia.
Since 1999, the U.S. state department has listed Sudan as a country of particular concern due to religious freedom violations.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, which advises the U.S. government, said in its 2014 report that Sudan's government "continues to engage in systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of freedom of religion or belief." The report noted that the country's "restrictive interpretation of Shariah law" is imposed on both Muslims and non-Muslims.
Bishop Kussala called on Catholics, especially those in the West, to pray for their fellow Christians in Sudan. He also asked them to work to bring attention of their suffering and persecution to their lawmakers.
"Don't let them remain invisible," the bishop urged.
Christians disappearing from Iraq, bishops lament
Baghdad, Iraq, Jul 14, 2014 (CNA/EWTN News) -
Two Iraqi archbishops are seeking "faith and hope" in Iraq, while bewailing the continuing exodus of Christians from the country amid continued violence.
Archbishop Yousif Mirkis heads the Chaldean Archdiocese of Kirkuk, in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region.
He said that he "quite definitely" fears the end of Christianity in Iraq.
"We are in the process of disappearing, just as the Christians in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and North Africa have disappeared. And even in Lebanon they now constitute only a minority," he told the international Catholic pastoral charity Aid to the Church in Need July 8.
Archbishop Mirkis said he is not resigned to defeat, but "trying to be realistic."
"There is still the hope that faith brings," he said. While he himself will not leave Iraq, he said he understands why young Christians are leaving in the wake of so many violent deaths.
"In the past ten years we have lost a bishop and six priests. In addition there are about a thousand of the faithful who have died in attacks."
"Not everybody shares the faith and the hope."
The Christian population in Iraq has plummeted to 400,000, down from about 1.5 million before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Their situation has worsened further since June, when insurgents with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant seized a sizeable amount of territory in north-western Iraq.
According to U.N. figures, acts of violence and terrorism killed at least 2,400 Iraqis and 1,500 civilians in June alone. The violence has also driven more than 1 million people from their homes.
Kurdish forces have separately moved into cities like Kirkuk and other areas abandoned by the Iraqi Army. A political rift has opened between Iraq's Kurdish leaders and others in the government headed by prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, the BBC reports.
Archbishop Matti Warda of the Chaldean Archeparchy of Erbil said that it will be "difficult" to keep Christians in the Kurdistan region, given the lack of homes and jobs.
However, he believes that there is a future for Christians in Iraqi Kurdistan.
"Not only is there security here, but the government is prepared to listen to our concerns. This became evident in the present refugee crisis," the archbishop told Aid to the Church in Need.
"The Kurdish government has opened the borders to Christians."
He acknowledged that this situation has come about because Christians will not return home.
"When we approached the government here we made clear that the Christian families had no intention of returning. The Kurds said that they would of course prefer it if the Christians were able to remain in their homeland where their possessions are. But in this situation they made immigration easier."
He that since the beginning of June his eparchy has cared for about 400 Christian families from the Mosul area.
"Either they will stay here in Kurdistan or they'll go to another country, to Turkey or Lebanon. Many have already begun to do this unfortunately."
Archbishop Warda said that the ruling parties in Kurdistan follow a secular tradition that helps the Christians' situation. While there are people in Kurdistan with "narrow views," he said, "that is not the government's attitude."
He also encouraged people to be realistic about the existence of extremist movements and activities.
"Such movements are rising in the whole region. They will also reach Kurdistan. Quite definitely. But at least the government's keeping an eye on the problem."
He said he believed that the government would intervene before hostilities reach Christian towns.
"We must in any case be prepared."
Archbishop Mirkis said the disappearance of Christians would destabilize Iraq's "social ecology." Their churches have traditionally maintained many schools and hospitals. They have always been "open-minded, multilingual and oriented towards the West," disproportionately serving as medical specialists, engineers, intellectuals, writers, and journalists.
"Because of the continuous emigration we are of course losing our dynamism," the archbishop said.
He said it is "not easy to be a Christian in Iraq today."
The archbishop said the founding of Israel in 1948 "traumatized the Middle East." The assassination of the last Iraqi monarch, whose reign provided many freedoms to Christians, was followed by more political assassinations, a 1967 war against Israel, and the Iran-Iraq War.
"All this generated instability and emigration."
The rise of ISIL terrorists is a new situation, he acknowledged, but it must be understood "in a broader context." He said that antagonism between the West and the Islamic world has replaced the antagonism between the West and the Soviet Union.
"It is a war between the modern and the retrograde. For example, the Salafists refer back, even in their name, to their seventh century ancestors, whom they wish to imitate," he said, referring to a school of Islam common among some extremist Muslims.
Christians' Western orientation is one reason extremists hate them, the archbishop agreed.
"But the jihadists don't hate only them, but also all those who do not agree with their worldview."
Archbishop Mirkis said that the Muslim elite has been weakened alongside Christians, with "disastrous consequences."
He said that the "best antidotes" to extremism are dialogue and culture.
"The more culture a country has the less susceptible it is to fanaticism."
Christians have met in dialogue with elite Muslims "like brothers."
However, these Muslims are declining in number too. More than 180 university professors have been killed in attacks in Iraq, and many medical specialists have left the country.
Archbishop Mirkis said that Christians must listen to Christ, and be "the salt of the earth."
The Kirkuk archdiocese is preparing a relief effort to Muslim refugees from ISIL-occupied areas.
This is not a "proselytizing action," the archbishop emphasized.
"They should know that their Christian brothers love them. And many of the faithful are donating to this even though they have to scrimp and save to do it. This is our role."
He also rejected any claims that a majority of Iraqis are extremist.
"The Iraqi people are not innately fanatical. Like the Islamic world as a whole, they have been hijacked by fanatics. And now they can't move."
Pope's audience with elderly to explore vocation of old age
Vatican City, Jul 14, 2014 (CNA/EWTN News) -
Organizers for the first-ever audience to be held between a pope and the elderly population have revealed that a central reflection will be the active vocation of the aged in the Church and in society.
"We have given 20 years of life to old people now (in Western countries), but 20 years to do what? This is the big question that this meeting wants to share with everyone," Fr. Andrea Ciucci of the Pontifical Council for the Family told CNA July 11.
"There is a particular vocation of elderly and grandparents in society and in the Church."
Entitled "The Blessing of a Long Life," the event will take place Sept. 28 in St. Peter's Square. The square will open at 7:30 a.m. with the official celebration beginning at 9 a.m. The day will culminate with an audience and Mass at 10:30 presided over by Pope Francis.
The idea to hold an audience with elderly and grandparents "came from the Pope himself," who has spoken "many times about elderly and grandparent," Fr. Ciucci observed.
Quoting a recent speech the pontiff made, Fr. Ciucci stated that "the care given to the elderly, like that of children, is an indicator of the quality of a community. When the elderly are tossed outside, when the elderly are isolated and sometimes fade away due to a lack of care, it is an awful sign."
This meeting, he said, "is necessary to proclaim to the world that elderly are inside the Church, are inside society," and to go against the "awful signs" visible in today's culture that tell us they are burdensome.
Observing how the encounter will be the first-recorded of its kind, Fr. Ciucci explained that the family council, who is organizing the event, anticipates "many thousands of elderly and grandparents from Italy, from Europe and probably some representatives from the other nations of the world."
He affirmed that there will also be thousands more who are not able to come physically, but who will participate through the television and Internet.
"It's very important for us and for the families of the world, to present, to put a light on this age of life," the priest continued, stating that "the elderly and grandparents are not only an object of pastoral care," but have a "particular vocation."
"This meeting is very important to promote the reflection of the role of elderly and grandparents in society and in the Church," he went on, quoting President of the Pontifical Council for the Family Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia in saying that "even the Church must have this respect and reconsider the vocation of elderly."
"For example, besides the traditional task of transmitting the faith and helping parents, there are other equally important areas to be considered, such as prayer, the prayer of the elderly and the prayer of grandparents, and the transmitting of the Gospel."
Going on, Fr. Ciucci noted that in connection with advancing age are "all the civil aspects, a culture that older people can convey with particular care to conceive the weakening of life not as a final tragedy, but rather as a testimony of hope in the hereafter."
To be elderly, he explained, is "a vocation" to "transmit faith, to pray, to read Holy Scripture, to promote a culture of hope, to promote a culture of shared faith, share a way to stay in the world to the new generations."
In a July 13 video message addressing the elderly and patients of Antonio Gemelli hospital in Rome, Pope Francis encouraged them to cultivate in prayer "the flavor of the things of God," and to "bear witness that your strength lies in God alone."
He apologized for canceling his June 27 visit at the last minute, explaining that he had suffered from a severe headache and nausea, which is why he was unable to come.
The Pope told the sick that as patients who "experience the frailty of the body," they are able to offer "a powerful testimony to those who are near you of how the Gospel and the merciful love of the Father are a precious asset in life, not money or power."
"Indeed, even when a person is important according to a worldly logic, he is not able to add even one extra day to his own life."
Pope Francis also drew attention in his message to how the summer months can be an especially difficult time for elderly and sick, "who encounter greater difficulties in obtaining certain services, especially in big cities."
Apologizing again for missing the appointment, the Pope said, "We must accept our frailty," and asked that the patients and staff join him in cultivating "the trust that our strength lies in God alone."
"I entrust you to Mary and ask that you continue to pray for me, as I need your prayers."
Nigerian archbishop calls for government rescue of schoolgirls
Vatican City, Jul 14, 2014 (CNA/EWTN News) -
Amid government reports that the nearly 200 girls kidnapped in Chibok could be home soon, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama has called the country's leaders to follow through with their promises.
"At the conclusion of the National Council of States Meeting…there was news that it will just be a matter of time before the girls are released," Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama told CNA July 11.
"That is good news, we hope. But we will have to see how far it goes, how concrete that news will be. As I said there's a lot of promises," but "promises are not enough, we just want to see concrete action and the fruit of whatever the government is doing along with the international community."
Archbishop of Jos, Nigeria and spokesman for the country's Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Kaigama gave his comments following the conclusion of Nigeria's July 8 National Council of States Meeting.
Convening for the second time this year, the meeting was attended by President Goodluck Johnson, along with the nation's vice president, former heads of states, governors of the 36 states including Abuja's minister, former and present Chief Justices of the Federation, the Senate president, the speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Inspector General of Police.
During their discussion, Nigeria's Daily Post reports that Akwa Ibom's state governor, Godswill Akpabio, said that at the top of "the agenda of the meeting was the security of the nation," and that the key security issue "was the rescue of (the) Chibok girls," whom military services assured would be home soon.
More than 200 schoolgirls, mostly aged between 16 and 18, were kidnapped April 14 from their boarding school in Borno, Nigeria's northeastern-most state, by militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
Launched in 2009 with the hope of imposing sharia law on Nigera, Boko Haram has targeted security forces, politicians, Christian minorities, and moderate Muslims in Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north.
Its attacks have killed thousands since 2009, including at least 1,600 in 2014 alone. The U.N. estimates that the attacks have led to more than 470,000 internally displaced persons, and some 57,000 refugees.
On June 23, an explosion attributed to Boko Haram at a public health college in Kano killed eight and wounded at least 20. In recent weeks numerous villages in Nigeria's northeastern Borno have been attacked by the terrorist group, with dozens killed and more abductions of women and children.
Regarding the government's promises of increased security and the Chibok girls' release, Archbishop Kaigama explained that "the kidnapped girls have not been released, and we continue to experience a series of attacks in the Borno area, now even more than before."
Although there is "a lot of work going on behind the scenes…we have yet to see the full effect of all that they have been doing."
"What the ordinary man or woman wants is the truth of that work that the government claims they are doing; that there will be peace, that people can move freely, that people can go to churches and public places without the fear of being attacked by these terrorists. This is what every Nigerian wants."
Despite the positive outlook of Nigerian military forces regarding the situation, the archbishop emphasized that "we want to see the fruits" of their efforts.
"We don't want to hear of promises or expectations that might not be met. We want to see concrete proof that they are doing everything in their power to guarantee freedom to Nigerians and to stop these terrorists communities that continue to kill many and destroy means of livelihood."
The Church, he explained, does as much as possible "to be in solidarity with the suffering people," however it "has its limits" and "cannot go beyond a certain point."
"We try to offer our hope, we try to keep things moving by participating in religious activities without locking up the churches so that people feel like things are still going on."
Noting that the Church doesn't "have the power to do anything," more than this, the archbishop said that "at this point the only (hope) is the government," and encouraged both political and church officials to continue fostering dialogue with Borno's moderate Muslims in order to fight the extremist terrorists.
Archbishop Kaigama revealed that there is evidence of some "people, organizations, religious leaders, leaders of different kinds" who are accomplices of Boko Haram, even amongst security forces, and urged the government to "use her intelligence sources in order to identify these people."
Even beyond Nigeria there are "groups that are in partnership with Boko Haram, and they are groups that support them logistically, support them economically and even with weapons," he continued.
"It is the duty of the government of Nigeria and the international community to find out who these groups are, who these people are and cut off their supply lines and what they offer to the Nigerian terrorists so that they continue to kill."
"We hope that these people can be identified and that they will be stopped," the archbishop voiced, explaining that Nigerian people "are patient and continue to wait, hoping that the situation will be better."
"I always like to say that Nigerians are a very patient people, and very resilient also. They are also people of faith…and these are all the things that give them the hope to continue believing that things will be better, someday there will be light at the end of the tunnel."
Vatican appoints advisor for the Legion of Christ
Rome, Italy, Jul 14, 2014 (CNA/EWTN News) -
The appointment of Father Gianfranco Ghirlanda, S.J., as pontifical advisor for the Legion of Christ aims to advance the renewal and reform of the troubled religious congregation.
Fr. Benjamin Clariond, a Legion of Christ spokesperson, said the advisor's presence guarantees help and oversight for the Legion "in following through on the path we already started."
Fr. Clariond told CNA July 4 that rebuilding "trust and credibility" is something "that takes time." But, he added, "I would ask people to give us a chance."
Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz, Prefect of the Congregation for Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, named Fr. Ghirlanda as a pontifical advisor on July 3 and explained his functions and role.
The announcement of the priest's appointment followed a meeting at the Legion's Center for Higher Studies in Rome. The cardinal and Archbishop José Rodriguez Carballo, O.F.M., the Vatican congregation's secretary, met with the Legion's general director Fr. Eduardo Robles Gil, L.C.
The revelations of scandals involving the Legion of Christ founder Fr. Marcial Maciel prompted the Holy See to take over the process of reforming his religious congregation.
Maciel lived a double life as a pedophile and a womanizer and fathered at least one child.
In 2006 the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, with the approval of Pope Benedict XVI, removed Maciel from public ministry and ordered him to spend the rest of his life in prayer and penance. The Vatican congregation decided not to subject him to a canonical process because of his advanced age.
From that point, Pope Benedict carried on a process of reform for the Legion of Christ. In 2010, he appointed then-Archbishop Velasio de Paolis as the papal delegate to the Legion of Christ to oversee its reform.
The process of renewal has not been easy for the Legionaries of Christ, Fr. Clariond said.
"It is just like you are in the sea and a wave turns you upside down," he said.
Despite the tough times, however, Fr. Clariond stressed that "we have felt the love of the Church that accompanied us."
Fr. Ghirlanda has served as an advisor for the commission overseeing the religious congregation's new constitution since March 19, when he was named to the position by the Legion's general director. He has also served as one of the four deputies of Cardinal de Paolis.
The Legion of Christ in a July 3 statement said that Cardinal Braz de Aviz emphasized that the advisor's new role will be "strictly consultative" and he will not take part in the actual government of the congregation.
As an advisor, Fr. Ghirlanda will be able to participate in the Legion of Christ's general council meetings "when he sees fit."
The Legion voiced hope "that he will be able to continue supporting the Legion of Christ in overcoming the institutional crisis that has taken place in the past few years."
Fr. Clariond stressed that the advisor was named at the pleasure of the Holy See and "he will be with us as long as the Holy See deems it convenient."
According to Fr. Clariond, Fr. Ghirlanda will help the Legion of Christ "find a canonical structure for the whole Regnum Christi movement."
Regnum Christi, the congregation's lay affiliate, includes consecrated men and women as well as non-consecrated laymen.
At the start of 2014, the Legion of Christ held its extraordinary general chapter. Cardinal de Paolis declared the congregation "reconciled with themselves, with their history, with the world and the Church."
The extraordinary general chapter elected the new general director and government. It also issued a draft of the new statutes.
Once drafted, the statutes were given to an ad hoc commission established by the Congregation for Consecrated Life. Cardinal Braz de Aviz presented the commission's findings to the government of the Legion of Christ on July 3, indicating corrections and improvements to be made.
The new statutes consist of 247 articles, compared to the 878 articles of the previous statutes.
The first part of the new statutes concerns the Legion of Christ's charism and its patrons. The second part describes the four vows the Legionaries of Christ must profess. The constitution then explains the congregation's formation and the characteristics of suitable candidates to become Legionaries of Christ, as well as the congregation's religious profession, studies, management and administration.
According to Fr. Clariond, the final article is the best summary of the whole constitution. It reads: "The Legionnaire must shape his life on Christ."
He explained that the old constitution included many sections about the application of the norms. By contrast, the new constitution is "more essential" and focuses on principles.
"We can change applications according to different realities," the priest said.
The ad hoc commission required some adjustments, including explicit references to texts of the Second Vatican Council and to texts of the post-conciliar magisterium.
The commission also said that the constitution should indicate the canons of the Code of Canon Law which underlie its norms. This will help make references to concrete canons when necessary to interpret the text.
Fr. Ghirlanda will help with this adjustment.
After the July 3 meeting with Fr. Gil, Cardinal Joao de Aviz and Archbishop Rodriguez had supper with some members of the congregation. They "encouraged seminarians who are in Rome to continue in this path," recounted Fr. Clariond.
At present, there are 947 priests affiliated with the Legion of Christ.
CatholicFest mixes camping, encounter with truth, beauty
Green Bay, Wis., Jul 14, 2014 (CNA/EWTN News) -
For the past three years now, Catholic families in the Diocese of Green Bay and beyond have been marking their calendars for July 4th, and not just because it's Independence Day.
Since 2012, families have camped out by Kangaroo Lake near Bailey's Harbor, Wisc., for CatholicFest, an event over the holiday weekend that offers a chance to pray, meet other Catholic families, and experience truth, beauty and goodness in the arts.
"Our society is attacking the family, it's under attack," CatholicFest director Jen Lowery told CNA.
"But I think CatholicFest seeks to really minister to families….it's just to come up and experience the good, the true and the beautiful through those mediums and to be together."
Families register online for a camping spot on the grounds of the St. Joseph formation center. Once they arrive, their schedule includes prayer and Mass, as well as presentations by Catholic artists on film, art or literature. In the evening, up-and-coming Catholic artists give concerts on the back lawn.
Lowery, 31, helped direct the first CatholicFest as well as the most recent one. The event is an outreach of Catholic Youth Expeditions (CYE), founded in 2002 as a part-summer camp, part-retreat ministry that brings young adult staff members together to live in community and host various high school and young adult expeditions of prayer, community life, camping and outdoor activities.
Simplicity and prayer are the bread and butter of CYE and all its apostolates, including CatholicFest.
"You're up here, you're away from the world, and the three constants are morning and evening prayer, Eucharistic adoration and Mass," Lowery said. "Everything else is icing on the cake."
CatholicFest was started as a way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the CYE ministry. Instead of high schoolers or young adults, Fr. Quinn wanted to serve the families of the Green Bay Diocese while promoting Catholic culture through the arts.
Because the call to simplicity is so foundational to CYE, there is a minimum of advertisement and publicity for their events. Lowery made a few amateur YouTube videos on her laptop for CatholicFest. Beyond that, it's mostly person invitation.
"Basically CYE has been around for 12 years because of personal invitation," Lowery said. "It's all about the invitation and the encounter. The first two words of our mission statement are 'to encounter' so there's already an invitation there for action."
Personal invitation is why Carlene and Christopher Martens have been bringing their still-growing family of five up to CatholicFest since its beginning.
"Father Quinn said Mass at the Cathedral and afterwards my husband decided to take our son up to meet him," Carlene said, "And as David was shaking Fr. Quinn's hand, Father was like, 'Do you like fishing? Do you like camping? Then you gotta come to CatholicFest!'"
When Carlene sat down to talk with CNA at the event, the kids were nowhere in sight.
"I have five kids running around right now, I don't see a single one of them and I am totally at peace with that, and not in a bad way," Martens said. "There are so many families here, I know that the moms are always looking out for kids no matter what. Everybody's looking out for everybody else. It's just such a family community here."
Carlene's oldest son David, almost 9, likes the freedom he has at CatholicFest to roam around with his friends and play soccer. Her daughters love the concerts.
"They are looking forward to the band tonight, being able to get up and dance, that's their favorite part," Martens said.
Martens said she and her husband enjoy the family atmosphere and being around other Catholic parents with similar experiences to theirs.
Steve and Lily Simmons are converts to the Catholic faith who brought their family up to CatholicFest for the second time this year. The fellowship and community at CatholicFest is what keeps them coming back.
"With us being converts, we have felt alone a lot in that because some people have been part of the Church for so long that it's just what they do," Lily said. "So coming from the Protestant background, so much of our experience was community and fellowship, and that's been something that we've been so hungry for so this is something that's been an awesome blessing for that reason."
The ability to get to know people on a deeper level is something that CatholicFest offers that parish life often does not, Steve said.
"We like coming up here, camping for a few days, having it surround around the Mass, coupled with a social environment where we just spend time with each other and get to know each other more on a more profound level than just coffee and a donut and fundraising and banquets at church," Steve said.
The perpetual adoration available in the chapel all weekend also blesses the families present and creates a palpable presence of grace, Steve said.
"It definitely lays a spiritual cover," he said. "It's not just when you're in the chapel, it's on the whole grounds, along with Mass."
Hannah Rathsack, a CYE summer staff member for the past two years, said she would encourage Catholics and non-Catholics alike to come to CatholicFest.
"This event looks entertaining to others because of the events that take place but it is so much more than that," Rathsack said. "God is working through the entire event and can change hearts."
This year's speakers and entertainers included authors Dr. Mark and Dr. Adrianne Adderly, Catholic comedian Tony Bonse, keynote speaker Jimmy Mitchell and several musicians from the Love Good Music tour.
Lowery said she finds most of the speakers and musicians through recommendations from friends, or because they have somehow heard about CYE.
"I think the thing we want to promote is a retreat for Catholic artists up here," Lowery said. "Its really like a grassroots movement, we don't want to get really big bands or famous names, we want to get people who are an unknown and help them grow in their ministry."
The musicians and artists are invited to stay for the whole weekend, and often stay even longer at the formation center as a kind of retreat.
"We are able to minister to them, and they are able to minister to us, it's cyclical, it's relational ministry," Lowery said. "We don't just hire someone to come sing to us and then they leave."
Lowery also emphasized that CatholicFest provides so much more than just entertainment.
"It's formative," Lowery said. "We're not entertaining, we're encountering. An entertainer can entertain you, but you're not really going to be changed too much…but when you have an encounter with something, you're changed."
The encounter that CYE most hopes to foster is one with Jesus Christ.
"To encounter Jesus Christ – Jesus Christ is alive and well and He's a person, and CYE seeks to foster that personal relationship with Jesus Christ for whoever walks through their doors on this campus," Lowery said.

Artisanal barbecue restaurants in major cities including New York and Philadelphia are bucking the traditional gas stoves and using wood-fired grills to prepare their succulent ribs and brisket. The technique yields a unique taste and appearance, which some say is worth the time and expense. "People say it's impossible to smoke the real way in the city," said Daniel Delaney of BrisketTown in Brooklyn. "It's not impossible. There are a lot of regulations, but you can do it."

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
21 May 2011 13:58 GMT | Sport, Belgium
Mark Webber took pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix and ended Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel's bid for a sixth in succession.
Formula One world champion Vettel, winner of three of the first four races of the season from pole position as well as last year's final round in Abu Dhabi, will start alongside on the front row.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, favourite of his home Spanish crowd, will line up together on the second row on Sunday.
"I don't think we can speak of big disappointment, we made a good step forward," said German Vettel, who will still be making his 10th successive front row start.
"He (Webber) did a better job today."
The Australian has yet to win a race this season but was triumphant last year from pole position at a circuit where the winner has started in the top slot for all of the past decade.
However, the new moveable rear wing (DRS), kinetic energy recovery system and quick-wearing Pirelli tyres should make Sunday's race far less predictable with plenty of overtaking and pitstops expected.
"I'll have a good sleep tonight, come back and do the best job I can tomorrow," Webber said after his first pole since Belgium last August and seventh of his career.
He had been fastest throughout practice on Friday and, with drivers eager to save their soft tyres for the race knowing that the harder tyres carried with them a big drop off in performance, wrapped up pole with his one flying lap in the final qualifying session.
The Australian was parked up in the garage and out of the car with more than a minute of the session remaining, with McLaren recognising the futility of making any attempt to wrest pole from him.
Michael Schumacher, the seven-times world champion who won six times in Barcelona with Benetton and Ferrari before making his comeback with Mercedes, did not set a timed lap in the last part and will start 10th.
That was one place behind Venezuelan rookie Pastor Maldonado, making his first appearance in the top 10 with Williams.
Further back, Team Lotus celebrated Heikki Kovalainen's 15th place on the grid, their best qualifying performance in dry conditions.
Renault's Nick Heidfeld did not take part in qualifying after his car caught fire in final practice and could not be rebuilt in time.
Fears that the Hispania and Virgin cars would not make the qualifying standard, based on times in practice, proved unfounded.

OOC: @Morru Magnum; Good hunting, babycakes.
Ranger Halas Mordecai
"G-G-God d-d-damn it's c-cold," I said freezing my ass off on Mount Oktori. It was unusually cold up here and naturally, I was improperly dressed to be on a mountain.
I had been assigned to the task of escorting an archaeologist or something like that on a trek around here. It was a sudden request and I hadn't had any time to get my coat and such. The only thing keeping me warm right now was my Typhlosion, which was walking right on all fours, beside me to the place where my Trainer was supposed to be. Sadly, I was early, like usual, and had time to kill.
So there I was, walking around with no destination, but staying near the place at the base of the mountain where Khai Scarvender was going to be. Burnage kept stomping along beside me trying to melt as much snow as he could. As a Fire-Type Pokemon, his disgust towards water (solid, liquid, or gas) came with no surprise. His mane of flames roared wildly as his body had to work more than usual to regulate his body temperature. If only I could have done that...
I ended up just laying on Burn's back feeding off of his body heat. I looked up at the sky and saw a shadow of something huge soar across the sky, just above the clouds. It must have been one of the legendary Pokemon, Mt. Oktori has quite a few of those around here. It's a shame that it wasn't visible and I didn't have a camera. Those pictures usually sell for quite a bit.
Burn let out a low growl of sorts, something he only does when someone is nearby. I sat up and straddled the Volcano Pokemon and looked where he was glaring. Was this my trainer?

Chapter 23
The Digestive SystemDetails about this book
Book Version 4
By Boundless
By Boundless
Boundless Anatomy and Physiology
by Boundless
Section 1
Overview of the Digestive System
Anatomy of the Digestive System
The human gastrointestinal tract refers to the stomach and intestine, and sometimes to all the structures from the mouth to the anus.
Digestive Processes and Functions of the Digestive System
Digestion is necessary for absorbing nutrients from food and occurs through two processes: mechanical and chemical digestion.
Relationship of Digestive System Organs
The upper digestive tract consists of the esophagus, stomach, while the lower tract includes the small intestine and the large intestine.
Section 2
Nervous System of the Digestive System
Enteric Nervous System
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that directly controls the gastrointestinal system.
Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system that controls visceral functions such as heart rate and digestion.
Gastrointestinal Reflex Pathways
The digestive system functions via a system of long reflexes (CNS), short reflexes (ENS), and reflexes from GI peptides working together.
Section 3
The Peritoneum
Section 4
Layers of the GI Tract
The mucosa is the innermost layer of the GI tract that is composed of simple epithelium cells and it is the absorptive and secretory layer.
The submucosa is a dense irregular layer of connective tissue with large blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves that supports the mucosa.
The muscularis is responsible for segmental contractions and peristaltic movement in the GI tract.
Serosa consists of a secretory epithelial layer and a thin connective tissue layer that reduce the friction from muscle movement.
Section 5
Organs of the Digestive System
The mouth is the first portion of the alimentary canal that receives and mechanically breaks down food and produces saliva.
Associated Organs
The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder are the essential associated organs of the digestive system.
The pharynx is part of the digestive and respiratory systems and consists of three main parts: nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
The esophagus is a muscular tube through which food passes from the pharynx via peristalsis to the stomach.
Digestion in the Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus
Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more readily absorbed into the bloodstream.
Section 6
The Stomach
Gross Anatomy of the Stomach
The stomach is divided into four sections, each of which has different cells and functions.
Microscopic Anatomy of the Stomach
The layers of the stomach produce mucous to protect itself, enyzmes to break down the food for digestion, and muscles to 'churn' the food.
Stomach Digestive Properties
The movement and the flow of chemicals into the stomach is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and various digestive system hormones.
Section 7
The Small Intestine and Associated Structures
Anatomy of the Small Intestine
The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract where much of the digestion and absorption of food takes place.
Histology of the Small Intestine
The small intestine wall has four layers: the outermost serosa, muscularis, submucosa, and innermost mucosa.
The Liver and Gallbladder
The liver makes bile, which is essential for the digestion of fats, and the gallbladder stores the bile until it is needed.
Anatomy of the Liver and Gallbladder
The liver is located in the abdomen, it has four lobes; the gallbladder is located under the liver, it is a hollow organ that stores bile.
Histology of Liver and Gallbladder
Hepatocytes are the main tissue cells of the liver; the gallbladder contains the mucosa, muscularis, perimuscular, and serosa layers.
Liver Blood Supply
In the hepatic portal system, the liver receives a dual blood supply from the hepatic portal vein and hepatic arteries.
Bile is a fluid produced by the liver that aids the process of digestion and absorption of lipids in the small intestine.
Functions of the Liver
The liver is thought to be responsible for up to 500 separate functions.
The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine systems.
Anatomy of the Pancreas
The pancreas lies in the epigastrium or upper central region of the abdomen and can vary in shape.
Histology of the Pancreas
The pancreas serves digestive and endocrine functions, and it is composed of two types of tissue: islets of Langerhans and acini.
Pancreatic Juice
Pancreatic fluid contains digestive enzymes that help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.
Digestive Processes of the Small Intestine
The small intestine uses different enzymes and processes to digest proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
Section 8
The Large Intestine
Anatomy of the Large Intestine
The large intestine absorbs water from remaining indigestible food matter and compacts feces prior to defecation.
Histology of Large Intestine
The large intestine has taeniae coli, and invaginations (the intestinal glands) as opposed to the small intestines.
Bacterial Flora
The largest bacteria ecosystem in the human body is in the large intestine, where it plays a variety of important roles.
Digestive Processes of the Large Intestine
In the large intestine, a host of microorganisms known as "gut flora" help digest remaining food matter and create vitamins.
Absorption and Feces Formation in the Large Intestine
The large intestine absorbs water from the chyme and stores feces until they can be defecated.
Defecation Reflex
Defecation is a combination of voluntary and involuntary processes with enough force to remove waste material from the digestive system.
Section 9
Chemical Digestion
Mechanism of Chemical Digestion
Chemical digestion is the process of breakdown of large macronutrients into smaller molecules by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis.
Chemical Digestion of Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids
Chemical breakdown of macromolecules contained in food is completed by various enzymes produced in the digestive system.
Section 10
Absorption in the Small Intestine
Absorption of nutrients occurs partially by diffusion through the wall of the small intestine.
Absorption of Monosaccharides, Amino Acids, Dipeptides, Tripeptides, Lipids, Electrolytes, Vitamins, and Water
Glucose, amino acids, fats, and vitamins are absorbed in the small intestine via the action of hormones and electrolytes.
Section 11
Phases of Digestion
Cephalic Phase
The cephalic phase of gastric secretion occurs even before food enters the stomach via neurological signals.
Gastric Phase
The gastric phase is a period in which swallowed food activates gastric activity in the stomach.
Intestinal Phase
The intestinal phase occurs in the duodenum, responds to arriving chyme, and moderates gastric activity via hormones and nervous reflexes.
Hormones of the Digestive System
There are five main hormones that aid and regulate the digestive system in mammals.
Section 12
Development of the Digestive System
Digestive System Development
The digestive system is an endoderm-derived structure that begins developing about the fourth week of embryogenesis.
Aging and the Digestive System
Aging can result in changes of the digestive system due to decreased nerve sensitivity, loss of muscle, and increased infection rate.
Section 13
Digestive System Diseases, Disorders, Injury, and Clinical Cases
Malabsorption of Nutrients
Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality in absorption of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, usually caused by an infectious organism that is introduced into the abdominal cavity.
Mumps was a common childhood viral disease, but widespread vaccination has now made it rare in developed countries.
Root Canal Therapy
Endodontic therapy is the treatment for the pulp of a tooth which results in the protection of the decontaminated tooth.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is chronic mucosal damage caused by stomach acid coming up from the stomach into the esophagus.
Pylorospasm and Pyloric Stenosis
Pyloric stenosis (infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis) causes severe projectile non-bilious vomiting in the first few months of life.
Vomiting, known medically as emesis, is the forceful expulsion of the contents of one's stomach through the mouth and sometimes the nose.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells in tissues forming the pancreas.The most common type is adenocarcinoma.
Jaundice is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin and the sclera of the eyes caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the blood.
A gallstone is a crystalline concretion formed within the gallbladder by accretion of bile components.
Lactose Intolerance
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk, due to a lack of the enzyme lactase.
Absorption of Alcohol
Alcohol is metabolized (by alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes made in the liver) when it is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix generally requiring surgical removal since if it ruptures, it can lead to peritonitis.
Polyps in the Colon
Colon polyps, abnormal growths of tissue in the colon, are of concern due to their potential for harboring cancerous cells.
Occult Blood
Fecal occult blood (FOB) refers to not-visibly-apparent blood in the feces that may indicate problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
Dietary Fiber
Dietary fiber interacts with the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, and it changes how other nutrients and chemicals are absorbed.
The appendix is a blind-ended tube connected to the cecum and located near the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine.
X-ray studies of the GI Tract
Upper GI series, also upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract radiography, is a radiologic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Dental Caries
Dental caries cause demineralization of the hard tissues and destruction of the organic matter of the tooth.
Periodontal Disease
Plaque-induced inflammatory lesions make up the vast majority of periodontal diseases, which are divided into peridontitis or gingivitis.
Peptic Ulcer Disease
A peptic ulcer, also known as peptic ulcer disease, is an erosion in the wall of the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus.
Diverticular Disease
Diverticulosis is the condition of having outpocketings in the colon wall due to weaknesses of the muscle layer, called diverticula.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer, commonly known as bowel cancer, is a cancer from uncontrolled malignant cell growth in the colon, rectum, or appendix.
Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver. Causes include viruses, bacterial infections, alcohol, autoimmune disorders, drugs, and toxins.
