Giselle is a cultured ballet student, the daughter of the famous ballerina Marina Parke-Vanova and the late dance historian Grigori Vanov. On her first-ever trip to "Westchest-ah", as her mother's deranged boyfriend Blitz calls it, she meets the most beautiful boy she's ever seen. Will introduces Giselle to the world beyond Manhattan, and for the first time, makes her feel comfortable outside her perfectly protected apartment on Central Park West. But Giselle has some issues to overcome–and some memories about her father that keep rising to the surface. With Will's help, Giselle must come to terms with her family's glorious–and not so glorious–past and focus on the future.From the Hardcover edition.
Celeste Conway lives and works in New York. The Melting Season is her first novel. The author lives in New York, NY.

If you've ever wanted to connect a streaming and backup device to your TV that only works with Canon gear (and SD/CF cards), you're in luck.
This system works well, but the appeal might be too limited to justify the price.
The budget-minded Synology Disk Station DS214se is an excellent choice for home with casual backup, media-streaming, and data-sharing needs.
After years resisting subscriptions, Apple hits play on a $10-a-month streaming music service Tuesday with a three-month free trial.
Home users, especially Apple fans who own 802.11ac-enabled devices, will love the new AirPort Extreme for its all-new elegant design, ease of use, and great performance; advanced users should look elsewhere for more features and customization.
A new version of Apple's mobile operating system and Beats 1 radio station is set to debut Tuesday morning, says former Beats CEO and current Apple exec.
Some people are complaining because they can no longer share music to their iOS devices, while others say the iCloud Music Library is making a mess of their local iTunes library.
Apple's streaming service is now live, but you won't find it in the App Store.
"Siri, play the top song from 1982." Apple Music's silliest element sets the new $10 subscription service apart from the pack -- but will it get you to pay?
The latest update for iTunes brings it in line with iOS 8.4, adding Apple Music and Beats radio to Apple's media app.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world and that makes it a big target for the dark underbelly of the Internet. Waking up to news reports of a vulnerability in your website platform can really ruin your day but there are quite a few things that you can do to ensure that your site stays secure and out of harms way. Our WordPress security guide will help you secure and harden your website so you can focus on your customers and content.
- Keep WordPress core up to date
With WordPress' auto-update feature this has never been easier. Minor updates (such as an upgrade from version 4.2 to 4.2.1) will apply automatically, keeping the core of your website bug-free and secure. Major updates, like going from version 4.2 to 4.3, will require a manual update as they are more likely to require further work to be done for full compatibility. Keeping WordPress core up to date is the single most important thing you can do to ensure the security of your website, and thankfully, it's very easy to do. Always remember to create a complete backup of your site and database prior to updating.
- Keep your WordPress plugins up to date
WordPress core is lean and lightweight on purpose; it keeps the platform fast, stable, and secure. Plugins extend functionality but add bloat to your site and when you hear about a vulnerability it's usually due to a weakness in a plugin being exploited. Keeping them updated is vital but a bit tricky; a poorly implemented update can break functionality on your site. We find that most of the time when something breaks on a site it was due to a plugin update. As with WordPress core, always remember to create a complete backup of your site and database prior to updating.
- Scan your site
Once you've updated everything and tested your site, or if everything is already up to date, run a free malware and security scan with Sucuri to see if your site is clean. This will only scan what Sucuri can see, but it's a good start and only takes a few minutes to run. If something is found by the scan, sign-up with Sucuri and they will remove it. They do an excellent job with this and we highly recommend them. If you've signed up for a paid account you can also install a server-side scanner for a more in-depth scan.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Bears' Urlacher: We can beat the champs
Fox's Michael Strahan interviewed Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher and asked him: "Everybody's preseason pick for the Super Bowl are the Green Bay Packers. Is that justified?"
Urlacher said: "No doubt. I mean they won the Super Bowl last year. I think we can beat them. Of course, everyone says that now. But they got hot at the right time and they looked real good in that first game too. I don't know if someone is mad at us or what with the schedule. But we start out with Atlanta, New Orleans and then come home for Green Bay."
The Bears, who beat the Falcons and lost to the Saints, play the Packers Sunday in the national game Sunday on Fox.

Mickey Mouse copyright laws may last forever
Associated Press
On Oct. 27, 1998, President Bill Clinton saved Disney's Mickey Mouse from a horrible fate: He would have become part of the public domain — creative works that are no longer protected by copyright law.
Or, as many now argue, Mickey Mouse was almost set free, only to be locked up again.
Timothy B. Lee wrote a thorough review in the Washington Post of how copyright law has expanded over the years — getting longer and longer terms and bringing the public domain to a stand still.
"Today, copyrights can easily last for more than a century," Lee wrote. "In America's original copyright system, protection only lasted for 28 years. By the mid-20th century, Congress had doubled the maximum term to 56 years. Then, in 1976, Congress overhauled the copyright system individual authors were granted protection for their life plus an additional 50 years . For works authored by corporations — Hollywood blockbusters, for example — copyright terms were extended to 75 years."
With the 1976 overhaul, Mickey Mouse was scheduled to become available for anybody to use in 2003, but Clinton signed an extension of copyright
"It was a windfall to the families and corporations that owned these lucrative copyrights," Lee wrote. "But it meant these iconic works would be off-limits to those who wanted to reuse or reinvent them without permission. And hundreds of thousands of lesser-known works aren't available at all because there's no cost-effective way to obtain permission to republish them."
One ironic way of illustrating just how important it could be to have creative works available in the public domain is to look at Disney's films.
One blogger, "Roar of Wolverine," pointed out what he thought was the hypocrisy of Disney lobbying to extend copyright laws to protect its older creative works: "Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and many other princess stories, were based on age-old fairy tales that Disney was not required to pay license or royalties for. Later works would include children's literature like: 'Pinocchio,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'The Jungle Book' (released just one year after Kipling's copyright expired), — all in the public domain! Disney didn't pay a cent for story license, yet reaped many millions. The 'Little Mermaid,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'Aladdin' and all features made under the reign of Michael Eisner, would be from public domain."
At the online community Everything2, "NightShadow" listed many movies Disney did that were not from other works, such as "Lilo & Stitch," "The Aristocats" and "The Emperor's New Groove."
With the copyright extensions, it may make some people wonder what creative works reached the end of their protected terms in 2013 and are now available for anybody to use.
The Center for the Study of the Public Domain at Duke University Law School explains: "What is entering the public domain in the United States? Nothing. Once again, we will have nothing to celebrate this Jan 1. Not a single published work is entering the public domain this year. Or next year. In fact, in the United States, no publication will enter the public domain until 2019. Even more shockingly, the Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that Congress can take back works from the public domain. Could Shakespeare, Plato or Mozart be pulled back into copyright? The Supreme Court gave no reason to think that they could not be. And wherever in the world you live, you will likely have to wait a very long time for anything to reach the public domain."

Army Secretary Pete Geren has asked his staff for an internal review to examine the Army's firing last month of Gina Gray, the former public affairs director of Arlington National Cemetery who had worked to restore media coverage of military funerals.
"The goal is to strike the right balance between the family's needs and wishes, which always are our top priority, and the interest of the press," Army spokesman Paul Boyce said in an e-mail.
"The Army continues to work with families and the media to ensure a respectful experience that honors the memories of our fallen soldiers and veterans," Boyce said, noting that the cemetery "hosts thousands of local reporters and national media as well as hundreds of documentary productions and book photographers each year."
In a phone interview yesterday, Gray said, "I am definitely encouraged by any investigation into the mismanagement at Arlington Cemetery."
The Washington Post reported on Gray's firing yesterday. After assuming her director position three months ago, Gray discovered that cemetery officials were trying to impose new media restrictions on funerals of Iraq war dead, despite families of the fallen having granted permission for coverage.
Gray believed the new restrictions were wrong and were not supported by Army regulations, The Post reported. But she was demoted six weeks after The Post first reported on her attempts to restore news coverage, and she was fired on June 27.
"Had I not put my foot down, had I just gone along with it and not said regulations were being violated, I'm sure I'd still be there," Gray told The Post, calling her firing retaliatory. "It's about doing the right thing."
Geren is seeking more information on the matter, Boyce said. "The secretary of the Army has asked for an internal review by his staff," he said.

The status of Kitchener Rangers defenceman Ben Fanelli was upgraded to serious but stable condition Tuesday.
The 16-year-old had been in critical but stable condition since he was airlifted to Hamilton General Hospital after a hit from Erie Otters forward Michael Liambas during an Ontario Hockey League game Friday night.
Liambas was assessed a five-minute major penalty for boarding and was given a match penalty for the hit that left the rookie with skull and facial fractures.
The OHL conducted their disciplinary hearing with Liambas and Otters general manager Sherry Bassin at their Scarborough offices on Tuesday.
"We got to express our views and answered their questions," said Basin of the roughly hour-long meeting.
Liambas, 20, from Woodbridge, has been suspended pending the league's review. The Otters play their next game on Friday, when they host the Niagara IceDogs.

We study solution sets to systems of 'generalized' linear equations of the form: ¿i (x1, x2, ···, xn) in ¿ Ai (mod m) where ¿1,..., ¿t are linear forms in n Boolean variables, each Ai is an arbitrary subset of Zm, and m is a composite integer that is a product of two distinct primes, like 6. Our main technical result is that such solution sets have exponentially small correlation, i.e. with the boolean function MODq, when m and q are relatively prime. This bound is independent of the number t of equations. This yields progress on limiting the power of constant-depth circuits with modular gates. We derive the first exponential lower bound on the size of depth-three circuits of type MAJ o AND o MODA m (i.e having a MAJORITY gate at the top, AND/OR gates at the middle layer and generalized MODm gates at the base) computing the function MODq. This settles an open problem of Beigel and Maciel (Complexity'97) for the case of such modulus m. Our technique makes use of the work of Bourgain on estimating exponential sums involving a low-degree polynomial and ideas involving matrix rigidity from the work of Grigoriev and Razborov on arithmetic circuits over finite fields.

Curry gives Duke added spice
DURHAM, N.C. – He took part in every conditioning drill, pushed his teammates at practice and sat beside them on the bench during games.
But for Seth Curry, there was no jewelry.
While the rest of the Duke Blue Devils were awarded watches and rings commemorating their 2010 NCAA tournament title, the only thing Curry received during a ceremony at Cameron Indoor Stadium last fall was a few pats on the back and a sympathetic handshake from coach Mike Krzyzewski.
An NCAA bylaw prohibited Curry, a former Liberty guard, from collecting any championship hardware because he sat out last season under transfer rules.
"Tragic," Krzyzewski said at the time. "Totally, totally wrong."
Four months after the October ceremony, Curry hardly seems bothered.
"Honestly, it wasn't that tough on me," Curry said last week. "Yes, I was a part of the team. Yes, I helped them prepare for each game and tried to get them ready in practice. I was there for the whole journey.
"But not getting a ring? It really didn't hurt that bad."
Perhaps that's because Curry – the brother of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry – knows the Blue Devils have a chance to win another one. Maybe as early as this season.
If that happens, Curry will have no doubt played a major role. All-American candidates Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler are good enough to keep Duke in the championship conversation on their own. But when Curry is on top of his game, the Blue Devils seem almost impossible to beat.
North Carolina found that out the hard way last week.
In what was easily the top performance of his Duke career to date, Curry scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half to help to spark the Blue Devils to a 79-73 victory over their in-state rival in Durham. During one second-half stretch, Curry scored 13 points in a 15-5 run as Duke turned a 49-40 deficit into a 55-54 lead.
The Blue Devils never trailed again.
Shortly after the game, on the other side of the country, Stephen Curry returned to the locker room after Golden State's win over Denver and heard the news about his brother's breakout performance.
Stephen had set his DVR to record the game but had already called Seth by the time he made it home.
"I was proud of him," Stephen Curry said during a phone interview. "That was the biggest stage he's played on thus far and he ended up having his coming out party."
It couldn't have happened at a better time for Duke. Ever since freshman point guard Kyrie Irving went out with a toe injury on Dec. 4, Krzyzewski has been looking for a consistent third scorer to complement Smith and Singler.
Now the Blue Devils have found one in Curry, who has the ability to turn a good Duke team into a great one.
"He's pretty damn good," Krzyzewski said after the game. "The thing he's learned to do is get his shot off quicker. He was really coming off screens well and, when he did, he went right into his shot."
Curry's scoring prowess continued four days later when he erupted for 16 points and five steals in a victory at Miami. Curry played 39 minutes against the Hurricanes, a clear sign that Krzyzewski has full confidence in the 6-foot-2, 180-pound sophomore, who is also giving the Blue Devils a boost with his floor game.
"Coach has said all year that we need a third scoring punch," Curry said. "He keeps getting on me to be more aggressive. A lot of times I'll catch myself standing there and watching Nolan and Kyle. They can do so much.
"Coach doesn't like that. I'm still not proven at this level, so he tells me to go out there and play like I have a chip on m shoulder, like I've got something to prove."
Curry is averaging 9.1 points on the season and 14.5 over his last three games. Even though it's happening a bit later than he initially hoped, this is the kind of production Curry knew he could give the Blue Devils all along.
Curry, after all, learned from his brother that hard work, preparation and confidence are the best forms of kryptonite for adversity. Seth Curry watched with his parents from the stands as Stephen became the darling of the NCAA tournament in 2008, when he led Davidson to the Elite Eight.
"He had his way with the best players in the country," said Seth, whose father, Dell, played in the NBA. "It did a lot for my confidence, just seeing that hard work pays off no matter how big you are or what type of level you're playing at.
"As long as you put in the work and have the confidence, you'll have an opportunity."
Much like his brother, Seth was overlooked by the Division I powers during the recruiting process. Most people thought he was too skinny and short to play shooting guard or not a good enough ballhandler to man the point. So Curry wound up at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., which was just a short drive from his family's home in Charlotte.
"He's just like me," Stephen Curry said. "No one gave him a chance."
Curry led all college freshmen with a 20.2-point scoring average in 2008-09. But when he left the gym each night after a practice or a game, something didn't feel right.
"At Liberty, I wasn't getting any better," Curry said. "I wasn't really playing against top people and I was getting double and triple-teamed. It was rare to get an open look.
"We were losing and I was trying to do all I could. But again, I wasn't getting better. I wasn't having fun."
Curry and his father talked after the season and decided it was in his best interest to transfer. When word began to spread that Stephen Curry's little brother was looking for a new school, the phone calls came quickly. Coaches who had overlooked Seth when he was in high school weren't going to make the same mistake again.
Krzyzewski was one of the first to make contact.
"When he calls," Seth said, "you've gotta listen. He definitely got my attention. With Coach K, it's hard to say no."
Curry enrolled at Duke in the summer of 2009 determined not to let the next season go to waste. Even though NCAA transfer rules kept him from playing in games, Curry did his best to push guards such as Smith and Jon Scheyer in practice. He spent a large portion of his free time in the weight room attempting to add strength and bulk. Off the court he developed a bond with his teammates that continues to strengthen each day.
He may not have received a title ring, but there are plenty of snapshots of Curry clutching pieces of the net from Duke's NCAA championship win over Butler last spring. Curry vowed then that he would do everything he could to help the Blue Devils return to that stage and experience those emotions again.
Stephen Curry said he could tell during the offseason that Seth would have a major impact on Duke's program as a sophomore. Two summers ago he said he played four games of one-on-one with Seth and beat him easily each time.
"Last summer, though, he made it more competitive," Stephen said. "I was getting nervous that I wasn't going to win. I still beat him. But it was a little harder this time."
Stephen chuckled when asked if he ever offered Seth advice.
"Not really," he said. "I don't want to be a brother-coach. I want him to enjoy the experience for himself. I think he has things under control."
Not that everything has been easy for Curry at Duke.
As nice as it is to share the court with pair of potential All-Americans, Curry certainly doesn't want to step on Singler and Smith's toes and inadvertently steal any of their spotlight or glory. Because of that, Curry labeled the opening half of his inaugural playing season at Duke as "up and down."
He said he struggled to get into a rhythm.
"It's been tough at times," Curry said, "because I don't really know how many touches I'm going to get from game to game or how many minutes I'm going to get. I've just got to stay ready. Luckily, we're winning and I'm contributing pretty well now. I've just got to continue to get better.
"I've got to be more consistent."
Curry is hoping his performances in last week's victories over North Carolina and Miami will do as much for his confidence as his scoring average. Curry has done more than simply prove he can play at this level. He's proven that he can excel.
"Every year I've seen him play, he's gotten better," said Stephen Curry, who asked Seth to be his best man in his wedding this summer. "He's got a quiet cockiness about him. He knows he can play at that level. To see how far he's come in two-and-a-half years has been remarkable. He's only 20-years-old. He's still got a lot of room to grow."
Through it all, Curry is trying to do his best to enjoy the ride.
At one point during the North Carolina game, Curry walked toward the free-throw line and gazed into the stands. Staring back at him were all sorts of Duke fans with wigs and face paint and Blue Devils T-shirts and jerseys – some of which bore his No. 30.
"Man," he recalled thinking, "this is what I've dreamed about my whole life."

I just love being by myself.I have time to think. My friends keep trying to hook me up with thier friends. I hate it though. I love being able to have peace and quiet in my life. I love the calmness of being single. I only have to worry about myself and enjoying life by myself.

I still don't know who I am.How can I give myself to someone else if I don't know who I am? I want to wait until I've figured out who I am, what I want, and what the heck I'll do with my life. Then, I'll find someone to share my life with. I want a life before I can do that.

I love being single, it feels good to notworry about relationship problems. I have more time to be me and do me. Life has opened up for me. I feel it's a waste of time chasing women, most look great but it's usually smoke and mirrors. Women are cool but i believe life as a single person is so much better.

I almost prefer it. I recently had a string ofalmost relationships, and don't get me wrong... It was nice. However, all of them fell through.... And it's kind if a relief. If I found someone I liked, I'm sure it would be equally as enjoyable. But, it's nice to be single. I can do what I want when I want to-which is the big...

The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt on Thursday so long as Holder doesn't come forward with requested documents before then. Speaker John Boehner released a statement about the vote last week after the House of Representatives voted 23-17 in favor of contempt for Holder.
"Despite being given multiple opportunities to provide the documents necessary for Congress' investigation into Fast and Furious, Attorney General Holder continues to stonewall. Today, the Administration took the extraordinary step of exerting executive privilege over documents that the Attorney General had already agreed to provide to Congress. Fast and Furious was a reckless operation that led to the death of an American border agent, and the American people deserve to know the facts to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. While we had hoped it would not come to this, unless the Attorney General reevaluates his choice and supplies the promised documents, the House will vote to hold him in contempt next week. If, however, Attorney General Holder produces these documents prior to the scheduled vote, we will give the Oversight Committee an opportunity to review in hopes of resolving this issue."
Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa expects a bipartisan vote on Thursday before the House breaks for the July 4 recess.

My Dad's Worst Day
Excerpt from God and the Gay Christian by Matthew Vines, Convergent Books
Excerpt from God and the Gay Christian by Matthew Vines, Convergent Books
As a mental health professional and a mom, I have come to appreciate the incredible importance of family relationships on the development and maturation of children. I've also realized that the archetypal family relationships worshipped in our (Christian and secular) culture often have little to do with the real sweat and blood of family life.
My husband and I have a running joke that one day we will start an "ambiguous family relationships" greeting card company. Our imaginary company is designed for those experiencing family situations that aren't exactly addressed on the cheerful card aisle. Mother's Day is prime among those occasions that seems to call for our imaginary company's services. While the consumerist culture portrays images of wonderful family relationships rewarding the hardworking mom with leisure and jewelry, Mother's Day is not joy and leisure for all. It can be a time of irony and pain for those who have experienced relationship loss, infertility, miscarriage, separation, or death. Mother's Day in many ways has become a cultural enforcement of the middle class ideal rather than recognition of the real pain and sacrifice of mothers worldwide.
In my Santa Barbara, California neighborhood, which we sometimes call "Leave it to Beaver Land" for its seeming serenity and peace, a new practice has become evident: Children no longer walk alone to our neighborhood elementary school. Every morning, a parade of mothers and fathers accompany their children the short distance to school, dogs in tow and cellphones in hand. It looks like the practice of safety, but it's also the practice of fear. You just never know. It could happen anywhere. It could happen here.
These parents know about something we call "school incidents." They know the statistics about the number of American children that are shot, stabbed, and killed in our schools each year. Like the rest of us, they know about the big ones, from Columbine to Newtown to Chicago to Pittsburgh, and they know there are so many more stories that never make it to CNN.
The soundtrack for the story of childhood in America reverberates with gunfire and the sobs of stunned classmates and grieving parents. It's the soundtrack of fear.
Fear is our newest neighbor, even in sunny "Leave it to Beaver Land."
"You are not only a coward but a non-believer as well."
It may not quite be at the level of Captain America's vibranium shield, but my skin is a lot thicker than it used to be. When you start a blog that promotes something as insanely unorthodox as the idea that the author of Genesis 1-3 might have (like most other biblical authors) made use of a metaphor here and there, you come to expect that some fundamentalists are going to call Father Merrin and start reaching for the holy water.
It's unfortunate — and, often, perplexing — but you learn to get used to it.
Even so, there are times I receive emailed messages like the one quoted above, and it hits like a punch in the gut. I know I should just ignore such trollishness. Usually I can. But not always.
Don't worry, though. This is not a whiny column about how mean the conservatives are to us open-minded, forward-thinking progressives. Instead, it's about how messages like this are helping me rethink almost everything I thought I knew about the Christian faith.
Make no mistake: the Gospel is political.
Politics refers to "the affairs of the city" and "influencing other people on a civic or individual level."
Throughout his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus is political. He influences people to live into the Kingdom of Heaven. For Jesus, Heaven is not essentially some place off in the distance where you go after you die. No, Heaven is a way of life to be lived right here, right now. We see this clearly in the prayer he taught his disciples:
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
When Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey on Palm Sunday, he was performing a political act. But it was a political act unlike any other.
At 5 a.m. on a Friday last August, 20-year-old Joshua Jank's condition was worsening. Nurses at his hospice home in Fort Wayne, Ind. told his mother to gather anyone who wanted to say a last goodbye.
"Josh spiraled downward very quickly," Brenda Jank told Sojourners. "In less than two weeks he went from being at home without oxygen to being in the hospice house. He just hit it – a perfect storm."
It was in the midst of that perfect storm that a movement was born.
Editor's Note: This post is adapted from a sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. Randle R. (Rick) Nixon.
Some of us have stood at a tomb, faced an open grave, scattered the ashes of one beloved. We know what it's like to be confronted with the stark reality of death and the flood of conflicting emotions that comes with it. I've stood at different sites at Dry Creek Cemetery in Boise, Idaho, and the Veteran's Cemetery next to it, to bury my father, my brother, my nephew, my step-father and-step sister, my brother-in-law, not to mention my beloved piano teacher, and a dear high school friend. Not so long ago I stood by the open grave of Patrice Heath as her casket was lowered into the ground. We prayed and wept and celebrated her life, but it is not an easy thing, under any circumstances, to lay a loved one to rest.
The ancient story of Lazarus being raised from the dead in John 11:1-45 is just such a situation. It's also another occasion to encounter Jesus in his divinity and his humanity. It's a long, complicated story. You have heard it read. I will not attempt to unpack it all.
A year ago yesterday — March 13, 2013 — Pope Francis officially became pope. Since then he has fascinated the world.
He didn't don the snazzy red shoes and fancy papal attire. He chose a humble apartment rather than the posh papal palace. He washed the feet of women in prison. He touched folks that others did not want to touch, like a man with a disfigured face, making headline news around the world. He has put the margins in the spotlight. He refused to condemn sexual minorities saying, "Who am I to judge?" He has let kids steal the show, allowing one little boy to wander up on stage and stand by him as he preached.
I hate the phrase, "Love the sinner; hate the sin."
To be clear, I don't deny that God hates sin, or that it has dire consequences, or that it exists, or that everyone does it, or that it's the reason Christ had to come to earth and be crucified in the flesh. I affirm these beliefs. They are not the reason I hate "Love the sinner; hate the sin."
I hate the phrase because I think it's a totally screwed-up, backwards, un-Christlike, and unbiblical way to approach ministry and the world in general.
It may be a corrupted bastardization of "Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum," a quote from a letter by Augustine of Hippo that can be roughly translated as "With love for mankind and hatred for sin." I have fewer problems with that construction; unlike its modern-day successor, it does not create a subtle but virtually insurmountable divide between speaker and those spoken of.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's counterintelligence adviser is confirming the administration's refusal to expand unilateral efforts to find missing shoulder-fired missiles and other weapons in Libya.
Obama adviser John Brennan said Sunday that the United States will continue to work with Libyan rebel leaders to help officials in that country find the missing weapons.
Brennan tells "Fox News Sunday" that the Obama administration will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide Libyans with the information and intelligence they need to find the weapons.
U.S. officials in intelligence and nonproliferation have argued that the price of the missiles, known as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems, or manpads, has been dropping, indicating that some are already being sold on Libya's regional black market.
