Pope's visit excites lay people, but doesn't erase issues
By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY
When Pope Benedict XVI arrives in Washington, D.C., today on his first U.S. papal visit, he'll see a Catholic Church of great vitality — facing great uncertainty.
"People are excited that he's coming. He's saying, 'You matter in the universal church,' " says Sheila Garcia of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' office for the laity. "But for most laity, the church is what happens in their parish.
"Participation is what this country is all about. We believe people … have a right to bring their gifts and talents to their church. If they don't, many ministries won't get done at all."
If Benedict could visit just three places beyond his six jam-packed days in Washington and New York, he would see — in a struggling urban outpost in Boston, a Phoenix megachurch booming with Hispanics and two stalwart small-town Iowa parishes that share a priest — much of the promise and the problems in U.S. Catholic life today.
It's not like the Catholic church in Europe, with its empty pews, or the Third World, where one in four parishes has no priest, or in Islamic countries, where Catholics can't build churches.
The USA's 67 million Catholics live in a vibrant world of faith and service, rooted in nearly 19,900 parishes. Lay people, particularly women, have risen to new heights of participation and leadership. Where priests are scarce and overburdened, they keep the lights on.
Yet this is a church under duress.
It's challenged by intense competition from secular culture and other religions. About 10% of people born Catholic say they're no longer Catholic, according to a February study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
Of Catholics, 55% say they practice their religion, and 61% say sacraments are "essential to my faith," finds another study, released Sunday by Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University.
The number of priests has declined for decades.
And faith in the leadership of the bishops was shaken by the clergy sexual abuse crisis, which exploded into the headlines in 2002 in Boston and reverberated nationwide.
"The church is on its heels in this society — divided and demoralized and damaged. It really needs this pope to come and talk about the good things — to America's witness for life, its rich parishes and ministries, its remarkable efforts for social justice," says R. Scott Appleby, a professor of Catholic history at the University of Notre Dame.
He hopes the pope will "offer a powerful, charismatic, healing word about the abuse crisis to the laity, who need to hear this, and hear that the work of the Holy Spirit continues to be good and give life."
That's a message Catholics can take home to their parishes, the heart of the church.

Changing urban churches
The Catholic Church in America looks in some ways like Boston's St. Mary of the Angels, a century-old parish, embattled but still standing, offering a multicultural ministry in the impoverished and crime-ridden Roxbury neighborhood.
Founded by Irish and German immigrants, it is now the parish home of African-Americans, Caribbean blacks and immigrants from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic who go to English or Spanish Masses.
The Boston archdiocese, wounded spiritually and financially by the abuse crisis, tried twice to shutter the parish in an economic move as the archdiocese confronted shifting demographics, declining attendance and $85 million in settlements with abuse victims and legal fees.
Although the nationwide costs of the abuse scandal were estimated by church studies at about $2 billion, population shifts out from inner cities were the primary reason dioceses closed 2.7% of parishes nationwide between 2000 and 2006, according to CARA.
Of the 20 dioceses that closed more than 10 parishes in that period, all were in Northeast and Midwest dioceses, "where Catholics have migrated away to the Sun Belt or the suburbs. These changes would have occurred on their own, yet were likely quickened by the sex abuse crisis," says CARA researcher Mark Gray.
St. Mary's was spared after nearby business and community groups joined parishioners in pleading its case. Still, the parish is short on funds. Day-to-day administration is run by two aging staff members, a retired executive doing the books and a nun covering many of the ministries. An annual intern from the Jesuit Volunteer Corps works with service programs. Volunteers do the janitorial work.
"After two years of frantic efforts, we've taken a deep breath and carried on to the next crisis," says St. Mary's pastor David Gill.
He celebrates six Masses a week at St. Mary's, teaches classical languages at Boston College and serves as a chaplain for a lay Catholic community. "The parish has to think about what happens when I can't do this anymore," Gill says.
A shortage of priests
More than 17% of the 18,891 U.S. parishes in 2005 had no full-time priest. Overseas, the shortage is more acute: 24% of parishes have no resident priest. But prospects are brighter abroad: From 1975 to 2005, U.S. ordinations fell 40.8% but climbed 59.9% for diocesan priests worldwide.
Gill is 73 and worries, "Will they close the place when I leave?"
St. Catherine of Siena parish in Phoenix is home to 4,500 families, including Mexican-born Ramon and Rosa Ramirez, who bring their 13 children here to be formed in the faith.
Of U.S adults, 24% say they are Catholic. But 46% of immigrants say they are Catholic, compared with 21% of native-born U.S. adults, according to the Pew Forum.
The real numbers may be higher. Hispanic Catholics are less likely, culturally, to register with a parish, says St. Catherine's pastor, the Rev. David Sanfilippo.
This week, 96 of his parishioners, including Ramon and Rosa Ramirez and eight of their children, plan to be in Washington, and 71 will follow Benedict to New York. Most of these pilgrims don't even have tickets to the public events: They just hope to catch a glimpse of their pope.
"The Vicar of Christ is coming to us. The least we can do is be present for him," says Rosa Ramirez, 42. "We are concerned about people who suffer spiritually, who lose hope, whose lives can be meaningless. We worry about Catholics slipping away."
Most Catholics say they are proud to be Catholic. But only 43% say church teachings, the pope or bishops guide them in "deciding what's morally acceptable," according to the CARA survey.
"We need Benedict to address our real crisis. It's not the priest shortage or the sex abuse crisis. It's education," says Greg Erlandson, publisher of the Catholic weekly newspaper Our Sunday Visitor.
"Young Catholics today don't know the basics, and, often, their parents don't, either," he says. "How are we handing down the faith?"
Catholic America also looks like the stalwart little Iowa parishes of St. John the Baptist in Mount Vernon and nearby St. Isidore the Farmer in Springville.
They share one priest, while administrator Sue Schettler and her all-female staff run the day-to-day ministries, supported by legions of male and female volunteers.
Lay ministries abound
More than 30,000 lay people are specially trained in ministry, and 80% are women, Garcia says.
Almost half of diocesan administrative posts (48%) are filled by women, according to a 2003 study, the most recent available, by the National Association of Church Personnel Administrators.
Their numbers climbed sharply after 1983, when revisions in canon law, which are the laws that govern the church, permitted laity to take on roles once reserved for priests.
Lay people can now take on positions from becoming chancellors, which are similar to chief operating officers for dioceses, to reading Scripture during Mass, says Mary Jo Tully, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Portland, Ore., since 1990.
Not everyone is satisfied with this progress. Some fear that female lay leaders will be barely seen and not at all heard by Benedict.
"I'm glad he's coming to see a world beyond the Vatican," says author Joan Chittister, a Benedictine sister in Erie, Pa. "But if he's not here to learn from the nature of the church, its needs and questions, then what good will it do? If half the Catholic world, the women, are left out of the discussions, what can he learn?"
Many protest groups are clamoring for Benedict's attention. Calls will ring out from various Catholic groups for more transparency in church governance, greater acceptance for gays within the church, ordination for women, permission for priests to marry, punishment for bishops who failed to protect young people from abuse, and stronger opposition to the Iraq war.
However, administrators Tully and Schettler have no complaints for Benedict. Neither could break away to see him. Neither seeks his acknowledgment.
"I don't do this because I'm looking for thanks," Schettler says. "I do it because I'm serving the people of God. I always assume I'm in the pope's prayers on a daily basis."

Put access control decisions in the hands of business users. Data owners can review access, grant and revoke access, and ensure compliance—without IT's assistance.
Available for Windows file servers, NAS, and SharePoint.
Defining permissions and managing access to data has traditionally been the responsibility of IT. This is inherently broken since it places the burden for rightful access to a company's most critical assets on people who have no context for the data, its value, and what constitutes rightful use.
DataPrivilege gives business users the ability to easily review, grant, and revoke access through an easy-to-use web application. Save time, reduce IT burden, and make measurably better access control decisions.
Identify where your most sensitive data resides, see who has access to it, who is access it, and safely lock it down.
Run permissions reports, find lost files, assign data owners, and conduct security investigations more efficiently than ever.
IT staff spend less time on manual data management and protection tasks and can focus on critical projects.
Automatically detect and correct changes that don't meet your organization's change management policies.
DatAdvantage covers many of the requirements prescribed by SOX, HIPAA, PCI, GLB, FERC/NERC, and more.
Receive alerts on anomalous behavior, privilege escalations, and unauthorized access to critical files and folders.
Data owners can, at any time, review access to their data, make permissions changes, monitor data usage, export permissions reports, and get statistics and recommendations for their data sets—all without IT intervention.
DataPrivilege ensures that access to business data is consistently evaluated by the right people. Entitlement reviews are delivered directly to data owners which let them see who currently has access to their data and make changes without any involvement from IT.
"IT is most effective when focused on technology, including infrastructure technologies, enterprise and other systems, and tools. Data is far from its sweet spot. " —Thomas C. Redman
Read the full article: "Get Responsibility for Data Out of IT"
DataPrivilege's entitlement reviews include highly accurate recommendations derived from DatAdvantage's machine learning algorithms. What's more, users and groups outside of the data owner's purview (e.g. administrative groups) may be hidden so that the reviews provide data owners with only relevant and actionable information.
Reviews can be scheduled based on business policy to take place at regular intervals based on the needs of the business.
Some permissions need to be reviewed more often than others. You can establish separate schedules for different folders, departments, servers, and more.
Authorization workflows let users submit access requests through an easy-to-use web form and the request will be routed to the proper stakeholders based on the workflows you setup.
Data owners and authorizers can respond to permissions requests directly via email, in multiple languages, or within the DataPrivilege web application.
Once approved, access is granted automatically without any involvement from IT. Assign an expiration date on an authorization to ensure access is revoked automatically.
Many organizations have business rules where one department's employees should never have access to another department's data. DataPrivilege uses ethical walls to automatically prevent new requests from being approved that would violate your business rules, detect and notify you of any existing rule violations, and correct them.
By shifting responsibility for data entitlement management to the data business owners, IT is able to conserve resources. The result is nearly immediate return on investment to organizations deploying Varonis DataPrivilege. The cost savings are further augmented by gains in the speed and efficiency with which data access requests are fulfilled.
DataPrivilege allows you to set administrative access through local groups: now you can manage and grant temporary admin access to local machines. Local account management enables you to delegate privileges, along with automated expiration of access. By using DataPrivilege, all access requests are tracked, audited, and reportable.
We're here to help. Call us and speak with a data governance specialist who will answer any questions you might have.
In 30 minutes, our system engineers will show you how Varonis can help you achieve compliance, protect your data, and increase efficiency.

After Katrina: Transnational Perspectives on the Futures of the Gulf South
Anna Hartnell
Friday, November 15, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (GMT)
Hurricane Katrina was identified by a host of commentators as a 'teachable moment', one that somehow held lessons not just for the Gulf South but for the rest of the United States. These lessons were variously understood as relating to racialized poverty, decaying infrastructure and an ideology of neglect - a picture that seemed to point to the failure of the US as a utopian project. One of the limitations of early political, news media and scholarly commentary on Katrina was the idea that it had illuminated a specifically national tragedy, one that emanated from a past that might not be as distinct from the present as we like to imagine. While this viewpoint contains important insights, it also forecloses on the global resonances of the storm and the ways in which Katrina and its aftermath might be deployed to think about the future. The future is now a hotly contested topic in post-Katrina New Orleans and this conference proposes to bring together scholars and those working beyond the academy in order to address a temporal category that poses particular challenges to academic scholarship.
This one-day conference, hosted by Tulane's New Orleans Center for the Gulf South, is part of a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in the UK, entitled 'After Katrina: Projecting racial, transnational and environmental futures beyond the American Century'. This project is run by Anna Hartnell from Birkbeck, University of London, who is a visiting scholar at Tulane in autumn 2013, and whose research is attempting to locate post-Katrina New Orleans within larger national and international debates about the changing status of the United States in the twenty-first century. The conference seeks to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars - working across the arts, cultural studies, geography, environmental studies, architecture, law, etc. - and artists, activists and organizers in New Orleans and the region, to explore the ways in which global perspectives on Katrina might open up new ways of envisaging the futures of the Gulf South.
Alongside two keynote talks by Richard Campanella and Kalamu ya Salaam, the conference will consist of three roundtable discussions which will establish a dialogue between participants and the audience, on the following intersecting themes:

The conference will be of interest to those interested in the following discussions:

Kathy Willens, Associated Press
NEW YORK — It's hard enough for the parents of a toddler to balance work and home. So imagine how hard it is if the work itself is all about balancing.
Meet Jeremie Robert and Julie Dionne, two acrobats in Cirque du Soleil's show "Zarkana" who are raising a 2-year-old son while both earn a living by spinning in a metal wheel that's thinner than a hula hoop.
While their jobs are unusual, they're like any other doting parents. Robert, 28, from Paris, and Dionne, 36, from Montreal, are clearly enchanted by Emile, an exuberant blur of movement who speaks French and Russian.
"It doesn't matter how bad the day went or how good it went," says Robert. "We step in the door and it's 'Papa!' and 'Mama!' and lots of running. If you have a bad day or you're tired, he makes you forget."
Robert and Dionne helped create the $50 million "Zarkana" a year ago when it made its debut in New York at Radio City Music Hall. The 11-act, 73-performer "acrobatic rock opera" then visited Madrid and Moscow before returning to New York this summer. It has gotten leaner over the past year, the characters have been deepened and the acrobatics are tighter.
Before a recent performance in the cavernous, 6,000-seat Radio City, Emile gleefully ran all over the carpeted aisles, his laughter infectious. He tore about in every direction, clutching a toy horse, returning every few minutes triumphantly to his parents' arms, babbling and slightly out of breath.
"Papa! Papa!" he told Robert in French after one such moment. "It's so big!"
At other moments, he begged to jump up into his mother's arms and then, in a move that would make P.T. Barnum proud, successfully balanced with one leg in his mother's lap and the other in his father's.
Emile, who was born in Japan when his parents were in the touring Cirque show "Corteo," has now been to at least 10 countries and gotten used to a new bedroom every so often. "A lot of people say changes are hard for children, but he's adapted so wonderfully," Dionne says.
In "Zarkana," Emile's parents have dual duties. They appear between acts as part of a parade of white-clad performers — she as a pregnant bride, he as a sort of demented old-school pilot — who add some clownish humor to the show, which also includes high-wire walkers, handstanders, flag throwers and a sand-painting artist.
They also appear in the same high-octane acrobatic act — he onstage spinning inside a silver Cyr Wheel, while she performs stunts in and out of her own hoop that is suspended dozens of feet in the air. While they're at work, Emile is cared for by the wife of another performer.
Having Emile has made his parents not only more focused, but also more creative, particularly when it comes time to channel their inner clown. They say they watch his games and try to capture his sense of naivete and play.
"We try not to censor ourselves onstage and I think that comes from him," says his mom. "Sometimes I'll have an idea, but I'll wonder, 'Will it be good?' or 'Is it believable?' He just goes for it and to see him do it is an inspiration. I've learned from his curiosity."
After "Zarkana" ends its run in New York in early September, it will take up permanent residency at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Emile and his parents won't follow, instead moving to the circus-friendly city of Montreal.
Emile's parents have spent long years perfecting their skills. When he was 15, Robert enrolled in the French National Circus School, where he studied for three years. He then moved to Montreal to study for three years at the Canadian National Circus School, specializing in trampoline and teeterboard.
Dionne studied modern ballet and jazz as a youth and was trained at The Dance School of Quebec, specializing in modern dance. She also studied at the National Circus School, but never overlapped with her future partner.

Topman, the fashion business counterpart to the clothing chain Topshop that caters exclusively to men's clothing, has recently removed two offensive t-shirts that sparked a great deal of controversy.
One of the shirts reads, "I'm so sorry, but . . ." And then lists the following reasons for doing something wrong, "You provoked me; I was drunk; I was having a bad day; I hate you; I didn't meant it; I couldn't help it."
After seeing the shirt, many found the message highly offensive and linked directly to domestic violence. One woman, Marie Horner, was so angered that she created a Facebook group called STopman in protest.
"Promoting the excuses that men use to get away with abusing women is clearly wrong, whether it's on a T-shirt or not," says Horner.
Many agreed and took to Facebook to air their complaints. Topman has since removed the t-shirts from stores and apologized for the design, but the conversation continues on Facebook with those who both agree that the shirt is offensive and those that do not.
Unfortunately, but not too unsurprisingly, the conversation from those who disagree has become pretty offensive itself, especially since many think the group should be disbanded since the shirts have been discontinued.
In response to the negative comments one Facebook group member shot back with, "The recent comments do provide evidence for a couple of things: 1. Some men really fear feminism and the idea of women gaining equality. 2. Those men are very unintelligent." That goes for anyone who fears the idea of women gaining equality in my book.
Horner has also since commented saying, "The point of this group is to raise awareness and start discussions about the thousands of people who are victims of violence from people they know and trust. Focusing on the t-shirt aspect is missing the point. The discussion should continue because ultimately the t-shirt has gone but the violence continues."
The slogan on the second offensive t-shirt reads: "Nice new girlfriend – what breed is she?"
So we've got poking fun at domestic violence and comparing women to dogs. Well, I'm clearly offended and to be honest sick of jokes that are not funny and do nothing but disrespect and belittle women.
What do you think? Are the t-shirts offensive?

Man who buys "what breed is she?" t-shirt is doomed to never have a girlfriend EVER AGAIN.
This is why we will always need feminism. (sigh) I truly wish I could say I was surprised.
Nice new girlfriend what breed is she?
Nice boyfriend - what Petri dish did he grow in?
I agree that they are highly offensive. The bigger issue is the throwback imbecile that would wear something like that. (it's remarkable that anyone would want to look that ignorant)
Well, if you see somebody wearing something like that, at least it serves as an indicator that women should give the a$$hole a very wide berth.
These shirts are highly offensive, period. It doesn't matter if they took them off the shelf--the problem is that they were made in the first place. It is pathetic what men will resort to in order to disrespect & belittle women...simply revolting. A man who can't describe himself as a feminist is NO man in my book. If a man can't respect women for the brilliant, life-giving goddesses we are then he isn't worth it.
I'm surprised that the misogynist morons haven't started advertising men-only resorts where they can purchase packages to molest, rape and/or kill women and girls for their personal enjoyment in foreign countries where they can get away with it. That or Texas. Gee... makes me wonder if that was what was really going on with all of the women/girls being murdered in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
Celie G. for God's sake! What do you think the T shirt is talking about? We (women) have enough trouble without having to fight other women who are too ignorant to see what is obvious to the rest of us. And the women who have no power at home or at work, please choose another way to feel superior besides bickering against your own rights degrading before your eyes...or driving like you own the road. How many have seen that of people who are afraid to assert themselves...they get in their cars to show their rage and feel powerful. OMG...I can see why the Earth renews itself every couple thousand years.

As if you were lost in the desert, you spend the entire movie waiting for how it will end. Great camera work throughout, and Van Sant has no fear in coming out and portraying the uncomfortable. Both Casey Affleck and Matt Damon do a wonderful job of what must have been an almost entirely impromptu performance.

If one claims to be the steward of a democratic transition, never does one respond to madness with more madness.
"You have made yourself famous by rowing the boat," a steward told her.
While onboard the train, guests can expect upscale amenities like multicourse dinners and 24-hour steward service.
Old English stiward, stigweard "house guardian," from stig "hall, pen" + weard "guard." Used after the Conquest as the equivalent of Old French seneschal (q.v.). Meaning "overseer of workmen" is attested from c.1300. The sense of "officer on a ship in charge of provisions and meals" is first recorded mid-15c.; extended to trains 1906. This was the title of a class of high officers of the state in early England and Scotland, hence meaning "one who manages affairs of an estate on behalf of his employer" (late 14c.).
The Scottish form is reflected in Stewart, name of the royal house, from Walter (the) Steward, who married (1315) Marjorie de Bruce, daughter of King Robert. The terminal -t is a Scottish form (late 14c.). Stuart is a French spelling, attested from 1429 and adopted by Mary, Queen of Scots.

E-MTAB-1499 - RNA-seq of coding RNA from pGL2 and QC cells from the Arabidopsis thaliana root to demonstrate our method of controlling for technical noise in single-cell RNA-seq experiment
Released on 21 March 2013, last updated on 3 May 2014
Arabidopsis thaliana
Samples (20)
Protocols (6)
To demonstrate our method of controlling for technical noise in single-cell RNA-seq experiments we manually collected single A. thaliana cells marked by the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) driven by either the GL2 or WOX5 promoters. Seven and six cells were collected from each cell type, respectively. The GL2 promoter marks the non-hair cells in the root epidermis whereas the WOX5 promoter specifies the quiescent center (QC) of the root. Each cell selected was processed together with 50 pg of total HeLa RNA spike-in to prepare RNA-seq libraries using the Tang protocol. For comparison, we again added the commercially available ERCC spike-ins. We also performed RNA-seq on a set of technical replicates of total A. thaliana RNA using starting amounts ranging from 5000pg down to 10pg, a range that covers the RNA content obtainable from single cells of various sizes.
Experiment types
RNA-seq of coding RNA, co-expression, in vivo

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Jonathan Cooper, managementtoday.co.uk, Thursday, 15 March 2012 10:53AM
The announcement comes after a decent year for the company, even in these tough times. Pre-tax profits are up 15% to £60.5m, although a good chunk of that is down to exceptionals and favourable tweaks to pension rules allowing payments to be linked to CPI rather than RPI inflation. Take that out and the rise is a more modest 1% - still not bad given that Greggs heartland is the hard-hit North East and North West of the country.
The first few weeks of 2012 are looking OK - overall high street footfall dropped 4% in the first 10 weeks of 2012 but Greggs saw their same-store sales drop by only 1.8% so it is doing less badly than most at any rate.
But it's Greggs' plans to take on the high street coffee giants that will really raise eyebrows. Its new coffee shops are to be branded as Moments stores, and will feature seating and all the usual coffee shop paraphernalia. Greggs board has obviously taken note of the strong performance of the likes of Costa recently and has decided to grab itself a piece of the espresso action.
The first Moments - a 104 seater - opened in Greggs hometown last September and offers a full range of coffees as well as Greggs favourites like the cheese and onion pasty and Superstar doughnut. Three more Moments stores are planned this year followed all being well by a national roll out in due course. CEO Ken McMeikan is enthusiastic, claiming that reactions so far have been very positive.
Derek Netherton, Greggs chairman, was more measured saying: 'While we expect 2012 to be another year of significant challenge for UK consumers, we believe that we are well placed to deliver further progress.'
Will Greggs cheerfully mass-market brand work in the more status conscious coffee world? We'll see - but with a sector that's expected to be worth £7 billion by 2015, and Greggs' prices some 10% lower than the competition, it's got to be worth a shot.

years of crime and the bread line have not at all dimmed your shine
I am a Virgo, but on the cusp so I might be a Leo, possibly astrologically challenged. I'm short, but don't see myself as short until I see me in a picture then I'm always surprised. I love food, I don't cook. (bad combination) I figure skate which accounts for much of my appetite at the end of the day. I come from a small town and have a small family, but neither my town nor my family are small on love. I love my friends even to a fault. I am tenacious to a fault. Thunderstorms are one of my favorite things in the world. I am fond of napping, traveling, mountain meadows, the color red, music, and laughing. I can stare at the stars all night and have a tendency to sit in a hot tub way beyond the point at which you get prune-y. I am like everyone else, i love to travel, love to be outside, love to be inside on the couch with someone I like next to me. I am comfortable dressed up and out, or in a flannel shirt and yoga pants out in the woods. I can talk to almost anyone which makes it easy to converse, but i want lightning not just conversation. Everyone is looking for that one thing. Everyone thinks they are easy going, everyone likes to travel and be spontaneous. I don't know what will set me apart from all the rest, I guess its a certain something between two people that is not quantifiable in words. I do want to find someone and I hope when I do he can make me smile as much as my friends do.

You're fired! February 18, 2013
Reviewer: Ursa Major
The apprentice who put these clips together pinched a couple (or was it the other way round) from "Scandalous Secretaries" – Helena Sweet and Nataili D'Angelo, and managed to cut them both slightly short. The Eastern European flavour to the dialogue may not be to everyone's taste.
Helena Sweet dresses alluringly, but spoils things by making it all look just like a job. She's got a thing about not kissing her man on the mouth and some of her moves are cheesy, along with that grin. That said, she has a great body, scarred tits aside, gives great head and opens her legs invitingly. The anal fingering is hot and her partially clothed fucking is athletically done, over that desk. The move to the chair gives us great shots of her puckered anus and when he comes she manages to keep it off her glasses, which she's worn heroically through practically everything. 4★
Nataili D'angelo manages two for the price of one. The overall and the suit share her affection and she's willing to service both. She's another long blonde with good taste in lingerie. Her clitoris, once revealed, speaks for her and so the accent is less of an issue. The fucking is conventional and she has nice definition astride him; her tits make a good canvas on which to spread his load. No sooner has the boss gone, than the overall is back to use the tradesman's entrance. He manages to get his tongue right into her anus and the cock that follows is given a really good work out. The anal cream pie is one of the best I've seen and there's a nicely licked little coda. 5★
Mya Diamond is nicely put together, takes tongue sweetly and maintains the decent lingerie theme. It's a shame she looks quite so severe (unless that turns you on, of course), but her breasts gyrate with a life of their own as he pounds her. She comes convincingly, ignoring the distraction of the street noise. The tantalizing glimpse of anal fingering virtually rounds things off and it would have been nice to see more. 3★
Stracy & Tarra White get straight down to business and give us a bit of fishnet fetish to spice things up. It's standard threesome fare after that although there is indeed some juicy anal warm up stuff. One of our girls is a bit less keen on the anal than the other, but is very willing to use her tits on her friend's cunt to frame the final cooing denouement. 2★
Finally, Jennifer Love brings her shoes from the Wizard of Oz to be headhunted. The casting couch gives her plenty of scope to ride his ochre-ish prick. Some great quivering buttock work leads us on to a meaty final gush, which she handles well, although that blouse is going to need a good dry clean. 3★
Some odd cuts and poorer production values which make it less good than "Scandalous Secretaries", and three supporting acts which, while not all bad, don't cut it quite as well as the standard set by Helena Sweet and Nataili D'Angelo.

Thanks Jeff.We removed this because we got disgusted with the complete inability of writers to give any consideration or concern for translation. When writers start displaying the ability to think of other people we will add this back in.The problem here is that "common publishing tasks" differ really significantly between somebody writing their XML in English, somebody writing their XML in French, and somebody translating any language to any other language. Publican has a diverse user base, and it's becoming more diverse all the time. I guess the reason why I'm uncomfortable with this suggestion is that it privileges one group of users over every other group.Furthermore, speaking only for myself, since I currently publish a large number of docs in a large number of different languages, I actually like the safety-net of when Publican tells me "you didn't say which language you wanted, dufus". If Publican silently defaulted to building (or worse, publishing!) the English version of a document every time I forgot or mistyped the option, I would have made a non-trivial number of non-trivial stuff-ups by now :)However, for anyone who is typically only ever building and publishing in one language and wants to save themselves some keystrokes, aliasing some commands is a neat solution.Cheers Rudi

I really like Baudelaire and Les Fleurs du Mal. But ...
The Oxford World Classics edition while it contains a fine translation (one hears) caused me to "sweat out poisonous fumes" when read on Kindle (and Kindle for iPad). The formatting (no matter the text and margin size chosem) of the mixed French and English text in the OWC edition is so mixed up that the experience of reading it is so annoying as to make the experience of the poetry near worthless.
Perhaps OWC will issue a revised version, as they've done with many of their titles, and make this edition the prefered one for reading Baudelaire in English on the Kindle.
Please fix this Oxford!!!!
4.0 out of 5 stars The roots of evil?,
Helen (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
This dual language edition of Baudelaire's revolutionary work is an excellent addition to any poetry lover's bookshelf. The translations are well thought out and can be read as works on their own if you do not speak French. However, Baudelaire's poetry is best read in the original French if the reader really wishes to appreciate the gravity and depth of poems such as 'Le Cygne' (Andromac je pense a vous) or marvel at the streets of Paris in the middle of Haussmann's redevelopment plan.
Baudelaire allows us to explore our own emotions and leads us on a journey from this world, to the classical world and then on to the next. We see love in many guises, from Baudelaire's various 'amantes' to sex with common prostitutes. We cannot help be amazed by the poet's versatility of subject matter and even of style, particularly in 'Harmonie du Soir'. This collection can be read on many different levels and every time one rereads a poem, there is always something more.
I would recommend 'Les Fleurs du Mal' to anyone who has been entranced by French literature all through the ages. You will see love, hate and Paris as you've never seen them before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confusion about which translation this is.,
This review is from: The Flowers of Evil (Paperback)
The first comment confuses this book with Waldrop's unrhymed, unlineated prose translation (published by Weslyan UP),and at least one other review makes the same mistake. This Oxford UP volume contains James McGowan's verse translations. I don't understand how that error occurred, but the volume you are reading about contains a verse translation.
5.0 out of 5 stars AN INDISPENSABLE HANDBOOK,
This is a magnificent edition of the seminal Fleurs du Mal, printed in its original French and a sympathetic and incisive English that retains rhythm and form in a way rarely seen in recent Baudelaires. For poetry lovers, and lovers of literature, Baudelaire is a first-stop: all of twentieth century poetry is in his debt, yet he is often overlooked in contemporary analysis of influences on poets like Eliot, even Heany. The stark, startling honesty of poems like De Profundis Clamavi, or The Balcony, wipe away the years and bring this rebel visionary of the soul full-dimensionally into our twenty-first century living-rooms. This is an important work, as important as anything in French literature. The frame of "poetry" distracts: Flowers of Evil is life lessons, a handbook more stimulating and life-affirming than any top-ten self-help manual.
5.0 out of 5 stars Required poetry for dreamers,
If you have never heard of Charles Baudelaire, now you have. What have you been missing? Well, order this book and you will see that you are missing the preeminant masterpiece of a man with a complete mastery of his language. There are points of aching emotion, periods of baudy, lustful couplings, raw, exposed pain and suffering, but underneath it all is one of the greatest minds to ever put quill to parchment. John-Paul Sartre explains Baudelaire as: "man of shadows, opium addict, dandy, frigid disciple of voulpte and the greatest lyric poet of his age". Mr. Sartre was indeed correct. This version of Flowers of Evil should be required in the library of every disillusioned, but not defeated, weary, but eager, truth seeking dreamer.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Translation I've Seen,
E. Shlimovich (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This edition of "Flowers of Evil" contains all of the poems, not in their original order. However, ample introductory material and two tables of contents allows the reader to see what the work was when it was first published.
The poems themselves cover many subjects in traditional symbolist style, from cats to gypsies to corpses to a whole section on wine. A must for any student of poetry.
However, if you're looking for a translation that is true word for word and does not attempt to preserve the meter and rhyme, this is not the book for you. Mcentyre does a fabulous job tweaking the enlish to preserve poetic structure, but for students of French, and those interested in doing their own translations, other editions are preferable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Les critiques sourds-muets sans valeur,
Customer (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
... As for this book, I wish less people would read it, because it is aimed for a small audience, a bitter and literate one. But don't listen to T.S. Eliot, whose Wasteland is this book and a thesaurus. The parallel French text is nice to have. The translation is more of a self-imposed one rather than a transliteration, but poetry is impossible to fairly translate. Baudelaire's "La Fontaine de sang" is worth the entire book, and the explanatory notes in the back are very helpful. Buy this book if you like Kafka, hate Frost, love Eliot, and enjoy French culture, or if you are a bitter, bitter, man.
4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good,
As translations of poetry go, this is one of the better ones that I have come across. The renderings in English verse are well done, but still do not give the real flavour of the French verses. All the same, it is a good effort and an important contribution to the English speaking world to finally have some decent translations of one of France's greatest poets.
5.0 out of 5 stars Baudelaire: Flowers of Evil,
john (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This is one of the most exceptional books of poetry in modern literature. Without Baudelaire there is no Eliot, Yeats, or Joyce. They, and the world modern of poetry, are so completely indebted to this masterpeice. "Flowers of Evil" has cleary established the nature, setting, images, moods and feelings, that even dominate the poetry of today.
5.0 out of 5 stars great translation, lovely poetry,
tom phillips (Monmouth, Wales) - See all my reviews
this is a wonderful book. the translation is sympathetic and brings out the best in baudelaire's rich verse, lending an air of polish and depth to the rhymes and rythms of the work. undoubtedly an essential read for any fan of great poetry.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
The third part of the popular and comprehensive series Photoshop CS6 One-on-One follows industry pro Deke McClelland as he plunges into the inner workings of Adobe Photoshop. He shows how to adjust your color, interface, and performance settings to get the best out of your images and the most out of Photoshop, and explores the power of Smart Objects, Shadows/Highlights, and Curves for making subtle, nondestructive adjustments. The course dives into Camera Raw to experiment with the editing toolset there, and returns to Photoshop to discuss toning, blur, and blend modes. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details and reducing noise, as well as creating quick and accurate selections with Quick Mask, Color Range, and Refine Edge commands.
In this movie, I'll show you how to work with the Adjustment Brush which allows you to brush in White Balance as well as Luminance modifications here inside Camera Raw. Now in this case, I am looking at an image called Spanishtown dinosaurs and I've taken a swing at adjusting the Exposure settings as well as the White Balance. So if you switch over to Snapshots, you'll see right at the top Default settings, that's how the image started terribly backlit, everything is black in the foreground, but there is a ton of detail going on that we can draw out using that Adjustment Brush.
So I'll switch back to the ACR7 conversion, switch over to the Basic panel here, and I'll grab my Adjustment Brush. Now we've got a ton of settings associated with the brush here and I should go ahead and reinstate Size and Feather to the defaults just so you can see how they work. Thing is, all of these settings from Color up are dynamic, in other words you can modify them after brushing in an effect. But everything from Size down is static and only affects the brush stroke that you're about to draw.
You can change your brush stroke on-the-fly by the way by pressing the Bracket keys. So I am going to press the Right Bracket key key a few times in order to increase the Size to 18 and you can also change the Feather using the Bracket keys, but it works just the opposite as it does in Photoshop. So if you press Shift+] you make the brush softer because you're raising the Feather value. If you press Shift+[ you're making the brush harder because you're reducing that value. I am going to set that Feather value to 50. Now Flow controls how the dollops of paint interact with each other, you will probably want to leave that set to 50, and Density amounts to opacity, I recommend you leave that set to 100% because it seems to me, at least in my experience, I always want an opaque brush and then if I want to dial down the settings to make things more subtle, I will. All right.
So I've already got a setting here, Temperature of 50, I am going to go ahead and get rid of it and then I'll paint inside of the image and I did that so I could show you this error message. Notice if you've zeroed out all the way then you can't paint a brushstroke just as you can't create a graduated filter. So I'll go ahead and dial-in an Exposure setting, and it happens to be 0.8 by the way. And then I'll scroll down and turn on these two checkboxes, Auto Mask, which will go ahead and automatically paint just inside the darkest regions as you will see.
So it masks the brushstroke on-the-fly, it's a really great feature. I wish like crazy it existed outside in the larger world of Photoshop and then we've got Show Mask which will allow us to see our mask as we paint it. All right. So notice now as I paint inside the dinosaur, that it's automatically masking the brushstroke inside the dinosaur. Wouldn't it be great if something like the Quick Selection tool worked as well. And now I'll paint down the legs of the tyrannosaurus like so and into his little hands as well, and then I'll paint a little bit inside the triceratops, like so, and I might reduce the size of my brush a little bit and paint in his face. All right.
That's the region that you want to paint, and this guy right there by the way, this little pin that represents the entirebrushstroke because we have been adding to it the entire time as you can see indicated by this Add radio button. All right. Now I'll turn off Show Mask so I can see what I am doing, and I am going to modify a few settings here. I am going to take the Shadows value up to 30 in order to further brighten the dinosaurs, and I'll take the Clarity value up to 20 because I want to emphasize their metallic skin, and then notice we've got all these blue regions inside of the tyrannosaurus in particular because the sky is reflecting off him, I want those to go away.
So I am going to take my Temperature value up to 50 and that ends up giving us a nice sort of bronzish dinosaur, which is exactly what I'm looking for. All right. Now I want to darken the sky. So I am going to switch back over here to the Graduated Filter tool and just to avoid some confusion I am going to turn the Show Overlay checkbox back on, so I can see the gradient as I draw it, then I'll go ahead and drag from up-left to downright like so and maybe at a little more of an angle, and I am applying those last settings that I applied using the Adjustment Brush.
So we'll go ahead and modify them here. I'll set the Temperature to 0, and then I am going to take the Exposure down by pressing Shift+Down Arrow a couple of times and then Down Arrow a couple of times more. So the Exposure value I am looking for is -0.3. And then I'll take the Contrast value up actually to +50, tab my way down to Shadows, change that to 0, and Clarity wants to be +30, I think in order to pull off this effect properly, and now I'll create another gradient from this angle and I'll go ahead and modify the settings a little bit.
I am going to take the Exposure value down to -0.7. I'll take the Contrast value up to 100 and otherwise this is fine. All right. Now I have managed to darken the tyrannosaurus's face some more, so I am going to follow it up by painting another adjustment using the Adjustment Brush. So I'll go ahead and grab it and I want to make sure that I am creating a new adjustment, so I'll turn on the New checkbox. We want to be working with those same Size and Feather values, Auto Mask should be turned on, I'll turn on Show Mask as well and then I'll paint over the animal's face like this and down into his mouth a little bit and across his back.
And by the way, if you end up going too far like down in this region or something like that, you can erase and you can do so by turning on the Erase radio button or more easily you just press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac. The problem is, notice these Size and Feather values, as soon as I move my cursor out into the image, you can see that those values change to those that are specified for the eraser, which I don't want. So there is an override. You can go up to the flyout menu icon here and choose Separate Eraser Size to turn that option off and now when you press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, you keep those same Size and Feather values as I am doing right here. All right.
Once you have painted in something you like, go ahead and turn Show Mask off and let's dial-in some better settings here. This time around I want an Exposure that's much higher than this. So I am going to press Shift+Up Arrow four times in a row to change the value to +0.8 and then I'll tab down to the Contrast value, change that to 0 and we want Highlights to be 0, we want Shadows to be +30 I think, and then I'm going to take the Clarity value down to 0 like so. And now it seems to me that I might be going a little bit too far with that.
So let's try taking the Exposure value down just a little bit and that to me at +0.45 ends up looking better. All right. Let's get a sense of what we've accomplished here. You can turn-off the Preview checkbox, but that will just turn-off the Adjustment Brushes, it won't turn-off the graduated filters, and then I'll turn them back on. Those Adjustment Brushes by themselves made a big difference. I'll switch back to the Zoom tool which I could have done by pressing the Z key, switch back over here to Snapshots, let's go ahead and click on the Page icon and I'll call this ACR7 local adjustments let's say, and then click OK, and finally, I'll click on Default Settings just so we can see what a train wreck this image was in the first place.
And I'll click on local adjustments and we can see how great it is now. Thanks to the power of the Adjustment Brush working together with the Graduated Filter tool here inside Camera Raw.

Unity or Integrity?
What David Gushee doesn't realize is that forgiving Southern Baptists for leaving the Baptist World Alliance is relatively easy for many of us. We are constantly praying "father forgive them, they know not what they do." We don't seek the Spirit's power to forgive them, we seek it to forgive the myopia of those, like Gushee, who insist that unity is more important to Baptists than moral integrity.
Southern Baptist churches are full of people who know that the fundamentalists controlling their Convention have treated God's servants unjustly, have infused secular politics within their churches, and have shattered world peace by championing unjust, preventive wars. Like Gushee, they think unity is more important than integrity. They are quick to forgive unrepentant offenders for injuries caused to others and tireless in their efforts to silence the outcry and protest of those who are injured. For nearly forty years now, their self-righteous piety has been like a glove protecting and concealing the brass-knuckled fist of the neighborhood bully who takes delight in beating senseless anyone who gets in his way.
Unity on Southern Baptist terms, and those are the only terms by which unity can be achieved, is the last thing that the world needs today. Southern Baptists have completely undermined the integrity of the Baptist witness in the eyes of the world.
More than anything else, the world needs to hear that all Baptists are not like Southern Baptists. They need to know that all Baptists are not champions for a violent clash between Christian and Islamic civilizations. They need to know that all Baptists are not advocates for unjust, pre-emptive wars. They need to know that all Baptists do not condone torture and brutal interrogations. They need to know that all Baptists do not support secret renditions and indefinite imprisonment without opportunity for adjudication. They need to know that some Baptists put their loyalty to Christ and his Kingdom high above any patriotic allegiance to their flawed and fallible nations.
Today, there is no way to maintain moral integrity as a Baptist without distinguishing yourself from Southern Baptists. That may look like "SBC bashing" to some. To others, it looks like an apology to the world on behalf of Baptists and a call for all Christians to repent.

Good job Bruce. Unity, while a noble goal, can be difficult when the cost of unity is so high.
- Glenn Jonas said...
That is so well-said!
- Bill Jones said...
Many Baptist voices today are urging that moderate Baptists, such as those of us in the Baptist General Convention of Texas, "move back closer to" or "work with" the SBC leadership. Their call is akin to the call for "unity" to which you refer, Bruce. But one cannot "work with" the Southern Baptists without yielding to their control.
Why did the SBC withdraw from the BWA? Because it couldn't control the BWA! Why did the SBC withdraw funding from the Baptist Joint Committee? Because it couldn't control James Dunn, Brent Walker, Holly Hollman, et al!
The SBC does not seek to cooperate with anyone - it seeks only to control. The kind of unity sought by the New Baptist Covenant is worthy - a unity that acknowledges and respects one another's differences while working together in the far more important areas in which we find agreement.
However, that is far different than the kind of unity that requires one side to bend its knee to the other - the only kind of "unity" that the SBC will countenance.
Thanks, Bruce, for your forthrightness, your integrity, and your uncompromising defense of our Baptist heritage.
- David Gushee said...
Bruce, you misunderstand me. I lamented the SBC absence at BWA because such a breach with the global Baptist community is in fact lamentable at a theological level. I named the tensions that the particular SBC posture at those meetings once created. I noted visible expressions of anger at the SBC from a few Americans, even when the SBC was not at the meeting and not under discussion. This struck me as not terribly constructive. But I am not calling for unity at the price of integrity. My own work on issues such as torture, and the attacks I have received for that work from some in the SBC, offers plenty of evidence of my own commitments in this regard.
Writing is dangerous. No matter how one works to write texts so that misunderstanding is impossible, misunderstanding is always possible. This is very sad.
- Dr. Bruce Prescott said...
Texts have an autonomy that is all their own.
It's hard to communicate the full context for what we write.
I'm sorry if I misunderstood what you wrote, but I'll stand by what I wrote about preferring moral integrity to denominational or theological unity.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The former head of a company where workers forged signatures on mortgage documents pleaded guilty to a federal charge in Florida on Tuesday, the same day a plea agreement on related state charges was announced in Missouri.
The agreements were reached with Lorraine Brown, 56, of Alpharetta, Ga., who was an executive for DocX LLC. Prosecutors said workers who weren't authorized to sign mortgage-related documents forged and falsified signatures, at the direction of Brown and others, allowing DocX to create and file more documents and therefore earn more money.
More than a million fraudulently signed and notarized documents from DocX were filed with property recorders nationwide between 2003 and 2009, during which time DocX generated about $60 million in gross revenue, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Prosecutors said Brown concealed the practice from clients and DocX's parent company, Lender Processing Services Inc.
"The robo-signing practices of DocX were the worst in the country, the most notorious in the country and crossed the threshold into criminal activity," Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said.
Koster said the Missouri plea deal calls for Brown to plead guilty to felony forgery in Boone County and to perjury in Jackson County, with a prison sentence of between two to three years. Sentencing will be delayed pending the federal case.
According to federal court documents, Brown pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Florida to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. The maximum federal sentence is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain.
Her sentencing date has not been set in the federal case.
Her attorney, Mark Rosenblum, said Tuesday in a statement that negotiating a legal settlement will allow Brown to begin moving on with her life.
"Lori didn't expect to be in this position. But now that she is, she's facing it with grace and dignity," Rosenblum said. "Without doubt, this is a difficult day for Lori, but it's also a good day."
DocX's main clients were residential mortgage servicers that generally undertake duties for lenders such as accepting and recording mortgage payments, paying taxes and insurance from borrower escrow accounts and conducting or supervising the foreclosure process when necessary, according to the federal plea agreement.

This texture pack contains all ceilings, floors, metal textures... we made for Requiem Avenging Angel mod for Quake 4. Because we won't release a really "polished" version of Requiem, we wanted that everyone who supported us (and every other modding team) during our work on Requiem, to be able to use some of the stuff we made during this project.
