On 'Deus Caritas Est' and International Charity
"Faith Liberates Reason From Its Blind Spots"
VATICAN CITY, MAY 6, 2007 (Zenit) - Here is the text of an address from Dominican Father Augustine De Noia, the undersecretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The address was given April 27 as part of the plenary session of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. It focused on "Deus Caritas Est."
* * *
Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences
XIII Plenary Session 27 April 2007,10:30-12:30
J. Augustine Di Noia, O.P.
Undersecretary, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
It is an honor and a pleasure for me to address this distinguished pontifical academy at the start of your 13th plenary session, and to bring you the greetings of the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, William J. Levada, who, with Archbishop Paul Josef Cordes and Cardinal Renato Martino, first presented Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical "Deus Caritas Est" to the world at a press conference on Jan. 25, 2006, but who is unable to join you today.
It is a particular pleasure to share the podium with Archbishop Cordes who, as president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, plays a crucial and active role in securing the charity and justice in the relations among people and nations that is your topic in this session of the Pontifical Academy of the Social Sciences.
The focus of your discussion is the Holy Father's short but tightly argued first encyclical, ""Deus Caritas Est"." In its two parts, the encyclical makes two hugely important points. I should like first to state what I think these two points affirm, and then to suggest something of their significance within a social scientific perspective informed by the Catholic faith.
Eros and Agape: The Sanctification of Desire
As everyone who has read the encyclical will know, in his discussion of eros and agape, Pope Benedict insists on the unity of these two forms of love, as well as the continuity between them. He is particularly concerned to refute the widespread notion that the Christian faith separates these two loves, and even suppresses the one -- eros -- in favor of the other -- agape. On the contrary, asserts the encyclical, eros is ever reaching out towards its fulfillment in agape. The powerful dynamism of desire is itself a sign that human persons are made for and directed toward a love that never ends.
In order to clarify this immensely significant first point, allow me to turn for help to one of Pope Benedict's favorite authors, St. Augustine.
In his writings, and especially in his "Confessions," St. Augustine frequently invites his readers to consider the things that they have desired and the things that they desire now -- to consider, in effect, the experience of desire. When we have thought about things that we have desired very badly, and have worked very hard to possess, St. Augustine asks us to acknowledge that, in the end, we have often lost interest and become bored with these very things, and that we then move on to seeking other things.
For St. Augustine, this is most definitely not a cause for lament. On the contrary. In pondering the experience of desire, we learn something very important about ourselves: No good thing that we have wanted and even possessed can finally quench desire itself, because we are made for the uncreated Good which is God himself.
This means that the good things of this world -- and all the more so, the good of other persons -- far from being obstacles in our quest for ultimate happiness, point us to the Good itself which is their source and in which they share. If we do not love the good things of this world, how shall we be able to love their Maker?
The triune God, who made us for himself and who wants to share the communion of trinitarian love with us, uses the good things of this world to lead us to him who is, we could say, Goodness itself. The challenge -- and, sometimes, the tragedy -- of human existence is to desire and love the created good as if it were divine, to invest an absolute value in what cannot finally satisfy the human heart. That is what sin is. But rightly ordered desire and love of the good things of this world and the good of other persons is already a participation in the Good which is God himself.
These lessons from St. Augustine help us to grasp the point the Holy Father is making in the first part of "Deus Caritas Est" -- that eros is meant to lead us to agape, to the love of God and to the love of one another in God. Pope Benedict resists absolutely the misreading, sometimes perverse, that claims to see in Christian faith the suppression of the ordinary fulfillments of human earthly life, particularly ...

Dr. Lawson is highly skilled, professional, and has a wonderful bedside manner. He takes the time necessary to explain issues with accurate diagnosis, precise treatment & adequate follow-up. His medical assistant is equally wonderful. The office staff is NOT! Atleast the one in the Greenburg office. She has refused to file my claim. I have full medical/dental coverage and was still forced to pay up front eventhough I have coverage. I only agreed to do so, if she would agree to file my claim so I could get reimbursed by my insurance Co. She stated: "as a courtesy" she would. As a courtesy? Really? Anyway, My procedure was done 12/18/2013 and to date, 02/24/2014; She still has not done so. Despite many calls & confrontation at my last follow-up visit a phone call from my insurance provider. I guess she feels no sense of urgency because they have my payment. I should have stopped payment on my credit card...I'll bet she would have filed quickly then. Moral of the story: Don't pay up front. Insist they file with your insurance first! The ONLY reason I would not visit this Dr. again is because of his front office staff...and that would be ashame because he's GREAT!
On July 2nd, I had an emergency visit with my dentist over an infected molar that needed extraction. He referred me to Dr.Lawson, who was able to see me the very next morning(July 3rd). Although the office was extremely busy the day before a holiday as one would expect, and there were many many patients, I still felt the staff was polite and my wait time wasn't too bad. The assistant who escorted me to the area where the procedure would take place was informative and professional in performing x-rays, and gathering some basic intake information. Now comes Dr. Lawson; he was passing through the room where I was, and he stopped and looked at me smiling and said "I'll be with YOU, in just a moment." For a person who was as nervous as I was, I found his slight humor in the way he said it, to be charming and I liked him instantly for it. When he did come back very soon afterwards, he took the time to review my file with me even though his assistant had already gone over a lot of it already. He answered my questions, and comforted me when I shared my tremendous nervousness. Since I was awake the entire procedure and required only a "local", he told me exactly what he was doing every step of the way. For the most painful parts of the extraction, he prepared me for what was about to happen. He was informative, professional, and I found his bedside manner comforting. As for the fee I paid, it was the exact same amount as a dentist would have charged me...considerably less than what I would expect a surgeon to have charged for his services. And I would know. Years back I went to an oral surgeon for my wisdom teeth to be removed, and paid much, much more. The fact that this office collects its fees before the procedure rather than after, makes perfect sense to me. When it was over, all I had to do was leave...no waiting around when all I wanted to do was get home to recover. I can't comment on follow up, since so far I haven't required any. But as a final remark, all I can say, is that if you are looking for someone straight forward (and I think charming, too) for oral surgery, I would recommend Dr. Lawson.
After being referred to this oral surgeon for an extraction I decided to look him up on the internet - I thank God, my Heavenly Father for these reviews. I won't get any where near him. I do have an appointment scheduled which I will be cancelling immediately. With these kinds of reviews, this person has 41 locations???? Why is he allowed to practice?? Why isn't he reported to the Dental Association.
My daughter visited Dr. Lawson. He said that the tooth can not be saved and offered to remove it. For 5 days my daughter is drinking antibiotics. She formed a flux, a tumor on his cheek, oChto will happen next, we do not know yet. . For the removal of the tooth under the insurance my daughter paid 300 dollarov.No the worst thing that such doctors have jobs and people go to them. Such doctors should deny the license!
I dislike writing negative comments about a Dr but he frightens me and don't want others to experience it. I also had a bad experience with a tooth extraction that had remaining roots left. He also rushed me when I returned for a follow up. Money did seem to be the most important concern. I did end up going to another surgeon to fix the remaining problems. After doing some research after the fact, I see that he is known for this type of service. He seemed nice initially but that changed
Dr.Lawson caused me perment damage when I had my four wisdom teeth extracted. I now have no feeling in my bottom jaw and lip. He severed a nerve that was no where close to the teeth he was extracting.I went in for a consulation and all he did was look at the extra, not my mouth. He did not go over any side effects with me what so ever.I felt like I was a dollar sign. This guy needs to to lose his license. He will continue to hurt people. He is only in this business for the money, he does not care about his patients. I know longer can kiss my two kids and feel there warm cheeks. Please be aware of the doctor.
Dr. Lawson was very professional and has the credentials to prove it. We felt better knowing he is also a medical doctor.
I came in for a schedule consult and waited for almost 2 and a half hours. When I was finaly seen by the doctor he treated me like a dollar sign and rushed me into having the proceedure done. I explained to him I wanted to think about this since I may want to have a consult with the endodontis. He in his expert opinion advised me that the tooth could not be saved and numbed me during the consult. Than one of his assistance that barley spoke english usherded me up to the front desk to pay the almost $600.00 for a single tooth extraction. Durning the proceedure I did not feel that the doctor was to concerned about me and was coninuesly talking about some TV show or movie with another assistant a male this time. I called back two days later because I felt roots remaining in my extraction site. I again recived poor treatment from him and he explained to me this is normal and pain will go away ina few day. It did not I went to another Oral surgeon who extracted the remaining TWO ROOTS yes TWO roots. I WILL NEVER GO TO GREENBERG AGAIN AND I PERSONALY BELIVE DR. SCOTT LAWSON needs to go back to school or hang it up as an oral surgeon. I have researched him and he acctualy sits on the board for dentistry SCARRY INDEED!!! WORST DENTIST EVER!!!

Hi folks. I was raised in the mid west. Did some traveling for a bit but decided to set roots in NYC. I moved here five years ago and I can't get enough. I'm looking to have some fun times, meet nice people and find some new fun places to explore. My qualities- honest, funny, artistic, great in the kitchen, good conversationalist, caring, dry witted, a decent singer, a master IKEA furniture assembler, It's hard to say what I'm looking for. I usually trust my gut. I do like down to earth, laid back, funny, honest people in general. I'm also an oddly organized, artistic type. I like people who also indulge in some kind of skillful art. But, you just never know...

I like to think of myself as an even keel type of person. I can easily go with the flow. I enjoy being outdoors, going to movies, drinking great wine, going to cultural festivals, sitting on a blanket and listening to live music. Traveling is on the top of my list of what I like to do with my free time. Seeing the world is so eyeopening for me. Puts a lot of things in perspective about life. I am looking for somebody who is fun loving and overall a life enthusiast. He must be easy going, loves to laugh, willing to try anything once. Most importantly we should be each others best friend. If we can have that, the rest is history...

I'm glad you asked, Patrick. I'm curious too.
i can't believe i lost over two hours of my life watching the tree of life. fucking dinosaurs?!?! constant whispering?! it was pretty, but jesus christ was i bored. i'm obviously not smart enough to get it or something.
premium rush was a fun popcorn/sneaking in captn morgan movie.
I enjoyed Tree of Life. I think you have to be more patient and open to what the filmmaker is doing -- a lot of it plays out like some sort of nostalgic dream the lead character is having about his childhood, his family, and his place in the universe.
But did they find love?

last.fm, if you care

why the holy hell would i care if they found love? just because i think it's a motivating factor for walt on breaking bad, which is somewhat proven by the fact that he won't leave skylar? and i knew it was going to be a long, artsy movie, i just didn't get it.
*edit* plus compared to the other horrible sci-fi/action movies my date makes me watch, this was funny.

I realize that sounds like horse crap, but I would've probably fallen asleep or turned it off a few years ago. Watching it today I was transfixed and annoyed when my attention was taken away from it (saw it at home, not in the theater). But I'm not aching to watch it again.
And for the record, Alien3 still bored me to tears (but I didn't fall asleep this time). Some of it was just awful and ham-handed... Fincher was in way over his head and it showed. It didn't move the mythology forward an inch, and wasn't nearly as scary as Alien or as crisp as its sequel. What a letdown from Aliens, my favorite film through my high school years. At least Alien 4 was bad, so it's not alone in the cellar. And I loooove Fincher.
People's personal memories can certainly affect how people view films.
For example, I cite my own experience being the oldest of 3 brothers and having a rocky relationship with my father as having quite an impact in why Darjeeling Limited was one of my favorite Wes Anderson movies immediately, when it turned out to be a lot of people's least favorite movies of his.

I saw a screening of The Inbetweeners last night, followed by a Q&A with series' co-creator Iain Morris and James Buckley, who plays Jay. It's dumb and vulgar and pretty funny, and if you're a fan of the original British series (which I am) it's definitely a natural extension. Like the series, the film has surprisingly genuine moments of humanity and warmth amid all the jokes about fanny and clunge. Plus I got a free "Pussay Patrol" t-shirt which I will likely never be able to wear in public. I believe there are also screenings with cast members tonight in New York, Boston and Los Angeles.
I've seen several films lately so I'll run through them quickly.
Nicholas Ray's We Can't Go Home Again played at USC last week, and for me it was one of those rare movies (like 2001, Satantango, Weekend, and a few others) that seriously impacted the way I view cinema as an artform. The shortest way I can explain the film's existence is: after Ray's Hollywood career had effectively been over for a decade, he resurfaced as a professor at a small state college in Upstate New York where he spent two years shooting home movie footage that poetically reinterprets his students' lives and his interaction with them, and then he assembled it into a feature in which the majority of the runtime features 3-5 shots playing at the same time. Oscilloscope is releasing this long-lost masterwork alongside a documentary by Ray's widow about its making, which happened to play first at my screening; as I watched the doc, I became increasingly uncertain as to how the feature would play. But like the best experimental films, its formal inventiveness is not only exhilarating but also vital to expressing its themes; it quickly becomes apparent that the assault of images and overlapping soundtracks is designed to evoke the mental state of people at the most confusing, vulnerable and mind-expanding stage of life - and also during one of the most turbulent junctures in American history. I can't overstate how much I loved this film, and how passionately I implore you to seek it out when OScope eventually releases it. My one tip - don't watch the doc first. I felt cheated on some very powerful moments that were explained at length there, although the impact is relative.
Sleepwalk With Me was an excellent little autobiographical comedy. I wasn't an enormous Mike Birbiglia fan coming in, but I left with a deeper appreciation of his comic stylings. He also has some basic narrative instincts that I wish a lot of other comic filmmakers would pay attention to.
Cosmopolis was mostly enjoyable as far as it went. Pattinson's work was the sort of thing that fit this film well, but also convinced me that he basically has negative talent as a screen actor. Much of the dialogue was delicious, although it felt like it was probably imported directly from the novel (which I have not read). I don't know why I've been so devoted to seeing new Cronenberg films (most of which I haven't been totally on board with) when I've seen so few of his older ones (basically nothing prior to Naked Lunch).
I think I already talked about Compliance in here. I was bummed I didn't make it to Cinefamily for The Ambassador, so I guess I have to slum it with VOD one of these days. I plan on seeing Red Hook Summer this coming week. And I will be seeing The Master in the Dome on Saturday night - obviously the film event of the year for me. I've done a fine job of staying away from reviews/Tweets on that one so far. To the Wonder, also, though it's only been out there for a week. I have impossibly high hopes for AFI this year.

My local newspaper critic at the Arizona Republic panned this movie and gave it a one star (out of a possible of five stars). I almost didn't go to see it because of the poor review. Often my wife and I catch a movie on the weekend and this weekend there are very poor choices (from our view) for new movies. We decided to go see if The Switch was really a one star movie or something different. I do not always agree with the newspaper reviewer (probably a different value system).
We loved The Switch. The story was engaging and funny and held my attention. Plus it had a depth to it that was unexpected. The ending was surprising and we walked out of the movie glad that we went to it. I highly recommend it and will probably watch it again when it comes out on DVD. It was that good.

I gave this four lippies because although it controls my oily skin, it's actually horrible for your skin. MOM destroys the acid mantle on the your skin because it is high in alkalinity. The acid mantle is a thin acidic film on the surface of the skin that acts as a barrier toward bacteria. So you might start breaking out after continued use but hey if it works for you then okay.

I use the Phillips brand of MoM in original with no extra flavours. Like most reviewers, I have been searching high and low for something to help keep my oily skin under control. My issues are mainly in the T-zone with a forehead and nose so shiny and reflective on their own, I recently had to have my passport picture taken 5 times before it was accepted. But that's just how shiny my skin is even without the help of oil which comes on usually an hour after I've washed my face.
I apply the MoM only in the AM after my face moisturizer and acne spot treatment. Shake the MoM well before applying it to your face or else you'll get a lot of supernatant (clear, separated liquid) and little magnesium hydroxide (white powdery stuff that absorbs the oil). I press a cotton pad to the mouth of the Phillip's bottle and tip it on its head for a second so I don't get too much of it on the pad. Then, I dab it across my forehead, down my nose, and on my chin. I then go back and start patting the MoM in where I've dabbed. I let everything dry for 30 seconds or so before applying my sunscreen and makeup.
Sometimes, if I overload the MoM or don't pat it in well enough, I will notice some white streaks. This isn't usually an issue as it gets blended out by the sunscreen and makeup after. The finish is quite satiny, and my makeup does glide over the areas where I've applied MoM much easier.
As for the mattifying aspect of this product, it is amazing. I didn't expect it to keep my quite so shine-free for an entire day (and it doesn't), but it does well enough into hour 6. I don't even use powder to touch up anymore - just blot with a tissue and I'm good again for another 4 or so hours.
The product is alkali (basic) in nature, so I don't lather it on like I would with silicone-based primers. In fact, I only focus it on my T-zone where I do notice a drying effect after many days of usage in a row. So, I make sure I exfoliate regularly and I have no issues with flakes or breakouts.
I paid $5.99CAD for 500mL of Phillip's original MoM at Walmart. At the rate that I'm going at, the bottle will probably last me 10 years. I won't complain about that!

ehhemm, just had to rejoice there because i finally found something to cure my oily skin! I have the oiliest nose ever and nothing had been able to tame it. My foundation would transfer a lot and i would have to blot multiple times in class (which is annoying while in class) I live in hot and humid florida. Even though its getting into the colder season, its still warsm and a bit humid here which is horrible for my t-zone. I though that i might have to just give up on foundation (or spend on an expensive high end one which i didnt want to do since i need to save!) but milk of magnesia saved me.
If you have combonation skin, apply it to the oily areas and if you have dry skin, dont even bother. This causes a slight tight feeling when it dries (goes away after applying founation) and makes dry skin look dryer. Also, this leaves a while residue when it dries. Do not worry about that, the foundation will cover it all up and it wont show through unless you apply to much. my makeup looks better and lasts longer andi am never going back to primers (probably will keep trying them)
Things to remember is to moisturize so you dont have dry skin before applying, make sure you go easy on the foundation because (depending on how much of the milk of magnesia is apply or foundation) it can make you look a little cakey. Shake the bottle before use. milk of magnesia is good for your skin. My skin feels softer after using it. also, make sure you get the original formula
Edit 11/8: find that this helps me get more coverage with my foundation. Since it turns white, it covers my scars and when i use my foundation they are completely hidden! i love this even more
Edit 1/8/13: so this can make some foundations look very cakey. I learned the hard way. Go easy on the MoM

I have been using MoM every day for a few months and it is a miracle product. Since the packaging is embarrassing, I transferred it into a little bottle and just apply it with my fingers after washing my face. It only takes a thin layer, or else it will dry white and be flaky. I absolutely must use MoM, or my face will have melted off within a few hours. With this, my foundation stays on really well, and also my eye makeup. However, it dries almost sticky so foundation doesn't go on smoothly and it takes a lot of blending to get it to look okay. I've heard that MoM messes up the pH of the skin... if I use too much of it for too many days in a row, its almost like my skin gets used to it or something because then it doesn't work as well. Less is more with this, and its a great product for the price. I've also saved a ton of money on blotting sheets!

I'm using the Kroger generic milk of magnesia and it works the same as the Phillips brand. This actually reminds me of a primer that Clinique made years ago to control oil, but it works even better. I moisturize first and then apply this to my t-zone. It keeps the oil at bay better than any other product I've tried and it doesn't cause breakouts. This is a godsend for me, especially in the high humidity and heat. I want to thank the person that thought of trying this as a primer. Pure genius!

WOW! I'm shocked at well this stuff works for what is actually meant for!! Who know? And I have been spending tons of $$ on primers that really didn't do anything for me? Like most people I was skeptical, but it was 105 degrees here today and with this stuff under my foundation I never even had so much as a shiny spot!! Now that's the ultimate test! I watched a few you-tubers and was a little nervous to try it, but am I ever glad I did because it really does work!! I paid like 4 bucks for it at that!! Give it a try if you have oily skin you will not regret it!!

Loving this so far as a primer - especially with the crazy heat. I'm a girl prone to shine. I spent all afternoon yesterday outside in the sun, sweating like crazy, felt sticky all over, AND picked up/ran around with a toddler repeatedly throughout the day and just had a dewey look by time I got home in the evening - definitely no shine!
It does look a little off-putting at first when it starts drying on your face, however as soon as you put your make up on top you'd never know what was underneath!
I have (recently) had acne-prone and very dry skin and so far haven't had any irritation from using Milk of Mag. (I have only recently started using it however so I would need a bit more time to make sure my skin is ok!)
At the price and for the job it does, it can't be beat. The only difficulty is that it comes in a big bottle so its mildly inconvenient to dip my sponge into, although I think I'll just pour some into a smaller make up pot. Tthe one I got is comparable to an average - not large - bottle of mouthwash - and was only $8.49!!
I am recommending this to anyone who will listen! So happy that I came across this product during my hunt for a primer to help with oily/shiny skin.

It basically works as well as a top primer, without the price tag. I'm converted.

Keeping it short: sucks for me as a primer but awesome as a deodorant. Cheap and will last me a long time. Got the idea when I was about to spend about 10 bucks on People's Pharmacy deodorant (that includes shipping) that a number of people swore it worked. Glad it does for me. Hint: if you have sensitive skin look for the MOM that doesn't contain sodium hypochlorite/hypochloride (a.k.a. bleach). I believe Walgreens and CVS store brand is bleach-free.

I have absurdly oily skin. Like, I would do my makeup at 7, leave at 7:30, by the time I use the bathroom at work around 10 or so, I would already be shiny. I have managed to get it kinda under control with Garden of Wisdom's face care products (Green Tea Shea Cleanser, Sebum Control Serum, Raspberry Fruit Spray, Coconut Renewal Cream) so that I could make it to early afternoon before I started blinding people with my reflective forehead, but I was still having to pour on the shine killer (literally, Evil Shades' loose powder named Shine Killer) every afternoon and would still be oily when I got home.
With this, I don't have to blot or powder at all, and by the time I go to wash my makeup off at night, I am only mildly glowy, nothing anyone would think of as out of the ordinary!
I pour a little bit into the cup that comes with it, dab a cotton round in that, squeeze off excess - you want a really light coating otherwise it doesn't dry well - and swipe over oily areas. (For me, that's my whole face, but if you have combo skin or just an oily t-zone, stick to using it only where you need it, because MOM can be drying to normal skin.) Let it dry, it'll look powdery white on your skin, then put on your makeup and you're good to go!
I actually use this under my BB cream in the mornings, so my routine is "cleanser - serum - MOM - BB cream". I wasn't sure about using a primer under BB creams, since they also function as a moisturizer and you don't normally put primer under a moisturizer? But it works fine for me. Hope this helps those who are having trouble making this work!
Oh. One more thing. DO NOT BUY THE FLAVORED KINDS THEY DO NOT WORK AS WELL. Get the regular flavor, not the mint or pink or whatever. They have sugars and additives that make it tacky on the skin and interfere with your foundation.

D.C. green fueled Blue Crush
U of M-led crime fight cited as 'good earmark'
Memphis police officer Jane Martin first heard the crashing glass. Then she saw a man, boxes of cigarettes in hand, dashing across the parking lot of Ike's at 4126 Elvis Presley Blvd.
Demorrius Niter, a 21-year-old previously charged with robbing a Piggly Wiggly and breaking into homes, had no way of knowing Martin would be in that parking lot on April 18.
He owes his burglary arrest as much to Martin's police work as he does to three politicians in Washington. Late last year, Sen. Lamar Alexander, Sen. Bob Corker and Rep. Steve Cohen slipped two earmarks into the Commerce, Justice & Science Appropriations Bill. Those two budget line items delivered the bucks -- $2.4 million -- to the University of Memphis and funded the now-ubiquitous, university-led program Blue Crush.
"This is actually an example of a good earmark," said Richard Janikowski, a University of Memphis professor who heads the Center for Community Criminology and Research. "It's providing money in a way that will benefit the community."
Blue Crush's aim is to use crime data to help allocate regional police resources in an effort to curb crime and gang activity. This year, as a result of the earmarks, Janikowski's center will furnish its data and research and administer the $2.4 million to help the Memphis Police Department and the Shelby County Sheriff's Office saturate high-crime areas.
The earmarked federal money has funded, among other things, anti-gang initiatives and even Martin's patrol of Ike's and the arrest of Niter.
"Every citizen of Memphis tells me the greatest challenge facing Memphis today is crime and especially gangs," Alexander said of the earmarks. "This was a case of where we're listening to the local university, the elected local officials, and trying to respond to a real Memphis need."
Alexander's point: Most earmarks do not benefit well-heeled corporations or pay for expensive pet projects.
In fact, while Alexander advocates earmark reform and voted for an unsuccessful measure to establish a one-year moratorium on earmarking, the senator fears appropriations scandals, and the reforms that may result, will soon put at risk programs such as Blue Crush.
"If the Memphis Symphony had a bad piano player, which some might have said it did Saturday night, the cure for the problem is not to cancel the symphony's season," Alexander said, drawing an analogy from his Memphis in May performance last month.
"The cure for the problem is to get another piano player."
But in Washington, an expensive chorus of lobbyists accompanies nearly every symphony. As spending on congressional earmarks ballooned to a record $29 billion in 2006 and steadied at $18.3 billion this year, universities nationwide have been among the top beneficiaries of those budget line items.
Unlike peer-reviewed government grants, earmarks for universities are awarded not according to academic competition but instead according to political influence. To compete, universities are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on lobbying firms every year.
In 2007, the year universities began lobbying for fiscal-year 2008 earmarks, the UofM paid $160,000 to Van Scoyoc Associates, a government-affairs firm whose other clients include FedEx and the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority. In fact, since 2004, the city's public university has spent $560,000 with Van Scoyoc, increasing the amount it spends year after year.
The UofM's regional competitors -- the University of Tennessee, Vanderbilt University and the University of Mississippi -- spend comparable amounts on outside lobbying firms.
The emergence of lobbyists in university fundraising has fueled an Ivory Tower struggle on Capitol Hill, with lobbyists pitching to university administrators guaranteed returns on investment, said Steve Ellis, vice president of the independent watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense.
"There is this looking-over-your-shoulder, keeping-up-with-the-Joneses attitude where schools feel like they're going to get left behind without lobbyists," Ellis said. "You would have to wonder why the University of Memphis would need to bring on board a hired gun to be able to get their elected official to deliver their earmarks. Shouldn't the president of a university be able to pick up the phone and talk directly to their elected official?"
Kevin Roper, the UofM's executive assistant to the president for government relations, described that charge as an oversimplification and maintained university president Shirley Raines can, and does, call congressmen and senators without assistance from lobbyists.
Lobbyists help cut through layers of red tape so thick that Rep. Marsha Blackburn describes the process as a fourth branch of government.
Blackburn, a Republican who represents a district that sprawls from suburban Nashville to suburban Memphis, has become one of the House's most vocal critics of lobbyist-influenced earmarks.
"The federal government does not have a revenue problem," she said. "The federal government has a spending problem."
Blackburn sponsored $3.4 million in earmarks for fiscal-year 2008 -- a paltry amount when compared with her peers and all of it related to district infrastructure projects. For the coming fiscal year, Blackburn said she will not sponsor any new earmarks and will push for a one-year moratorium on discretionary spending.
Alexander is hesitant to take such a stark position. That reforms may be needed isn't a reason to stop lawmakers from delivering federal money to their districts, he said.
"When people say they're against earmarks, they usually mean they're against self-serving, corrupt, privately motivated appropriations," he said. "They don't mean they're against ... anti-gang initiatives in Memphis."

i went to bed at 10 oclock last night and ended up sleeping till 10 this morning as well.....all this sleep is freaking me out!!!!
I have been sleeping like crazy lately too (I've been extremely tired the last 2 days or so)! I get a good 12hrs at night AND take a nap during the day. I did some research and what I found was that while some women get an energy surge before labor, others get tired and sleep a lot. I'm a FTM, so I don't know from experience, but hope it's true! :) 6 days til due date, I'm ready to meet my little boy.

Pain Therapeutics Reports Q3 2012 Financial Results On Track With Financial Guidance for 2012 AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:PTIE) today reported financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net loss for Q3 2012 was $1.6 million, or $0.03 per share, as compared to the net loss in Q3 2011 of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share. Net loss for the first nine months of 2012 was $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share, as compared to net loss for the first nine months of 2011 of $2.2 million, or $0.05 per share. Cash and investments were $92.5 million at September 30, 2012.The Company has no debt.Management continues to believe net cash usage for full-year 2012 will be under $10.0 million. "Our financial strategy is to maintain tight fiscal discipline while awaiting the resubmission of REMOXY to the FDA by our commercial partner, Pfizer," said Remi Barbier, President & CEO."We believe this drug candidate is well-partnered, has succeeded in a Phase III efficacy study, has published results of abuse-resistance, has four issued patents and targets a large marketplace.The value of these success factors may become more apparent as Pfizer updates regulatory guidance for REMOXY in the first half of 2013." Based on management's review of recent written correspondence between Pfizer and the FDA, management believes Pfizer is well-positioned to address the concerns described in the FDA's Complete Response Letter for REMOXY. Q3 2012 Financial Detail Research and development expenses increased to $2.4 million in Q3 2012 from $2.0 million in Q3 2011, primarily due to higher non-cash stock-related compensation costs. Research and development expenses decreased to $5.5 million in the first nine months of 2012 from $6.6 million in the first nine months of 2011, primarily due to lower headcount and facilities costs. General and administrative expenses increased to $2.0 million in Q3 2012 from $1.8 million in Q3 2011, primarily due to higher non-cash stock-related compensation costs. General and administrative expenses decreased to $5.0 million in the first nine months of 2012 from $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2011, primarily due to lower headcount and facilities costs. About REMOXY Our lead drug candidate is called REMOXY (oxycodone) Extended-Release Capsules CII. REMOXY is an investigational drug with a unique, controlled release formulation of oxycodone for patients with moderate-to-severe chronic pain.REMOXY is designed to discourage common methods of tampering associated with prescription analgesic misuse and abuse. oPfizer is our exclusive, worldwide commercial partner for REMOXY and three other abuse-resistant prescription pain medications (except in Australia/New Zealand). oREMOXY received a Complete Response Letter in December 2008 and in June 2011.Pfizer has sole responsibility for addressing the concerns described in the FDA's Complete Response Letter, at its own expense. oOn November 1, 2012, Pfizer announced it plans to meet with the FDA in March 2013 to discuss REMOXY.Pfizer also announced the initiation of a new pharmacokinetic study with REMOXY. REMOXY Deal Economics *To date, we have received total cash payments of $185.0 million in program fees and milestone payments under the strategic alliance with Pfizer in connection with the development of REMOXY and three other abuse-resistant drug candidates. *We are also eligible to receive up to an additional $120.0 million in clinical/regulatory milestone payments, including a $15 million payment upon FDA approval of REMOXY. *Upon the commercial launch of REMOXY, we will receive from Pfizer a royalty of 20% of net sales in the United States, except as to the first $1.0 billion in cumulative net sales, which royalty is set at 15%. Outside the United States, the royalty rate is 10%. *We will also receive from Pfizer a supplemental royalty fee payment of 6.0% to 11.5% of net sales, depending on the range of total dollar sales in each year. This supplemental payment is equal to the full amount of our financial obligations to Durect Corporation (Nasdaq: DRRX), our exclusive supplier of certain excipients in REMOXY. *Our development expenses for REMOXY and three other abuse-resistant pain medications that are in various stages of development, including hydrocodone, hydromorphone and oxymorphone, are reimbursed by Pfizer. *Pain Therapeutics retains commercial rights to REMOXY and three other abuse-resistant drug candidates in Australia/New Zealand.We have not yet announced a market entry strategy for these territories.

Madison - In the beginning, on a pristine stage covered by a presidential seal, God created the United States and gave us George Washington, an African-American wearing a fancy frock coat (Patrick Sims).
Two centuries and 150 minutes later, a beleaguered woman wearing the same coat tries to clean up the mess that has turned Eden into a junkyard. Her name is Barack Obama (Marcella Kearns).
Welcome to "44 Plays for 44 Presidents," a piece by five Chicago writers being produced by Madison's Forward Theater Company and featuring a cast of Milwaukee stage veterans, under Jennifer Uphoff Gray's direction.
Unlike most politicians, "Presidents" keeps its word, giving us short vignettes - presented in a variety of styles that often incorporate song and dance - on each commander-in-chief. Sims and Kearns - joined by Matt Daniels, Georgina McKee and Jonathan West - each take several turns in that frock coat, increasingly heavy as it picks up political buttons from successive elections.
The actors aren't the only ones feeling burdened by the oppressive weight of historical trivia.
The format of "Presidents" means that even short-timers and flops get their moment of fame; the crowded terrain means that several sketches become information dumps, with voice-overs doing most of the work.
Without those voice-overs, matters are sometimes worse.
Unless you're already up to speed on topics like the relationship between Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren or the Hayes-Tilden election of 1876, you'll leave the theater confused rather than enlightened. If you do know something about these events, you'll likely view their presentation as simplistic.
The portions of "Presidents" I'd enthusiastically vote for are those coming closest to the goal enunciated in the epilogue: Connecting the dots between the men who served and the rest of us, much as the cast directly engages the audience, in a piece that never lets us forget that these actors are part of our world rather than wax-museum impersonations.
The Civil War's killing fields are brought home by a funereal dirge chronicling Lincoln's many personal losses. Teddy Roosevelt is larger than life - but also bedeviled by his failings. FDR's determined war against fear is embodied by West, who gamely leans upon Sims while pretending to walk. Kennedy's assassination is presented through the filmed memories of various Madisonians.
"Presidents" also thinks outside the box in its surprisingly positive take on Nixon (backed by a soulful choir featuring the Watergate burglars), its refusal to join recent hagiography involving Eisenhower and Reagan, and its presentation of the disjuncture between Clinton's liberal rhetoric and often conservative policies.
Special kudos to Kearns, who repeatedly packs an emotional wallop, whether she is telling us about an obscurity like Franklin Pierce, honoring Eleanor Roosevelt or reliving the nightmare of 1968 as LBJ. Kearns' castmates frequently seem to be selling material they don't trust. Kearns is living history rather than re-enacting it - underscoring what's at stake, for our country and ourselves.
"44 Plays for 44 Presidents" continues through Oct. 7 at the Overture Center, 201 State St., Madison. For tickets, call (608) 258-4141 or visit www.overturecenter.com.

May 22 – Homily – Fr Matthias: St. Rita and the Greatest EvilFriday, May 22nd, 2015
Homily #150522n ( 07min) Play – Father Matthias presents the story of St. Rita of Cascia, and focuses on her prayer after her husband was murdered. Her prayer was that God would prevent her sons from sinning by exacting revenge on their father's killer, even if it meant taking their lives. Her prayer was answered, and both sons soon died from dysentery. St. Rita understood that the greatest evil is sin, that the effects of every sin are eternal, and that death is to be preferred to sin. Father then speaks of that which is necessary for the forgiveness of sin, contrition, and then tells us some traits of that real contrition which we must have for our sins.

It is possible that we have the names somewhere of Sigibert's real father and grandfather scattered in the records of the fall of the empire. One has to be caeful with Gregory's time scheme (often he was not sure) but it appears that the story is probably set around 500 before Alaric fell (The Ripuari and Alemanii were two of the "peoples" that Clovis overcame to cause Alaric to want to make peace with him before the final battle. Sigibert will have been born ca 440 (a few years either way) as he was "old" when Chloderic killed him. Clholderic was probably in his thirties before he felt he had a sufficient following to try such a stunt and if his father were about thirty when he was born (statistical guess) then that would be a birth date of Sigibert around (or in the decade beffore) 440. That would suggest that Sigibert's father's floruit was about 450 (when the great barbarian coalition was assembled by the Romans to fight the Huns). His grandfather would have been about 420 (born 390 or so) and would have been involved in the matters surrounding the rise and fall of Constantine and Iovinus, the invasions of the Visigoths and the rise of Aetius. I admit it is not certain the names are recorded or that they were yet in any position of authority in Cologne. We know from Sidonius that at Augusta Trevorum (Trier), the family of Arbogastes the Frank (involved in the troubles of the late pagan usurper Eugenius) was installed as count (470's). That suggests at least three powerful Rhenish Frankish families in the late 400's - the "Ripuari", the "Arbogastes", and the "Chlodomeri". Anything further up the River belonged to the Alemanii or whomever Clovis placed over them. It is also probable that the Frisii remained independent down the River.
The Franks and other Germans -probably families of men who had been prominent in Roman service- began to organize into Roman style familia in the late 4th century. It was during this era that two great Gothic clans appear and additionally, the success, if temporary, of the Vandal Stilicho, the Franks Marcomir and Theodemir and the first Arbogast all encouraged this (and the Burgundians being progressive may have already been doing this as well). By the dawn of the fifth century, the families of these military leader clans among the Vandals and Burgundians (and probably the Rhenish Franks) had begun to intermarry extensively so that by the fall of the empire in the West there was a tightly bound barbarian network of kinship among German Generals and later kings. Theodoric the Ostrogoth used and even expanded on this. Cologne (Colonia CAludia Ara Agrippinensium) was not an unimportant town in elaher the Roman or German organizations. One day someone may unearth a tomb and an inscription may tell us more.
It is interesting that there was a habit among the Germans of this time that when a certain "Germanic" people beccame used to the rule of one of these families, usurpers and conquerors tried to identiify with it. There were several ways in which this was done (and it is well attested from the Merovingian era) but one of the more interesting effects that may be of use is the alliteration of names. Among the Saxons in Britain (who for most of the "pagan" period were vassals of either the Nuestrian or Austrasian Merovingian king) The earliest rulers in "Wessex" all began their name with the letter "C". The Nortumbrians for a time liked "O". The kings of Wessex, when they were not affecting the names of Merovingian nobility used "A" (Aethelbert, etc) and the Wessex clan (when it has been exiled to Kent and married into some Kentish royal blood) dropped the their old preference for "C" and adopted the "A" of the Kentish royal house.
The most interesting use is the letter "S" only ever used by the Royal house of Essex in Britain and only with the element "Sige" (Sigeric, Sigebert etc). This name had been adopted by Lothar for his son "Sigebert" who became ruler of Austrasia (which led to some speculation in the peanut gallery that Ingund, Sigebert's mother may have been neice of King Sigibert of Cologne- they were doubtless related but perhaps not in that way) The Royal clan of Essex in Britain first appears in the 570's. They were pagan and very unpleasant toward Christians in Britain so Pope Gregory sent St Augustine to covert them.
The Saxons who settled in Essex probably did not settle there before the 570's and were almost certainly part of the overflow of a band of Saxons who had gone into Italy (with Austrasian connivance) with Alboin king of the Lombards. When Alboin died and the Lombards experiencced setbacks they sent many of these warlike Saxons home. My guess is that Thudebert or Theudebald had put one of his relatives (Sige something - see the parallel example of Theuderic's cousin Sigivald who irritated the people of Clermont so mightily). When Theudebald died, the Saxons at first refused to pay homage to Lothar and there was a war. It may be that in typical Merovingian fashion Lothar gave Sigebert his name at this time and made him a "king" over Austrasia to placate the restive Ripuarians and Saxons.
Anyway, these Saxons returning after many years and finding nothing to do in Saxony (and not much inclined to farming) went to Britain where the only place Aetehlburt's father, Eormenric (Saxon version of Gothic heroic name Hermanneric) who was then King in Kent could send them was against the British in Verulamnium and possibly (still) in London. It is possible that the British polity (called by scholars now "Calchvynned" or chalk mountain though I prefer "Verulamium")was already to some extent partially "Saxonized" in culture if not in blood - they appear to have incorporated communities of Saxons to defend themselves - and was and had been for many years at peace with Kent. It is not clear why Eormenric would war with them except that this is the period when Kent became briefly the dominant kingdom in Britain, changes in the situation on the continent with Chilperic and his wife Fredegunda meddling with the Saxon/Breton colony at Bayeaux (it may be from this time and not 495 that the "Credicingas" invaded Hampshire. In my other post on this site I mention Wessex dating and recent work on that) and Eormenric may just have had a lot of warlike Saxons dumped on him that he had to find homes for. Or there could have been a crisis or breakdown in whatever passed for leadership at Verulmium (We are completely in the dark about all this though better off than a century ago).
Though there would be five or six generations unaccounted for, the kings and later "earls" of Essex (pre conquest) may have been descendants of the Kings of Cologne, just as the kings of Kent were [verifiably in this case] descendants of the Merovoingians (cf Gregory of Tours Book IV 26)Cologne. I emphasize that though I think the possible desccent of Essex is intriguing, there is no very solid basis now for saying that the Earls of Essex were descended from the Kings of Cologne - and one can and should I think be able to speculate all kinds of things as long as he makes it clear it is speculation and does not thereby trouble someone else unduly.
Anyway, what is the old saying "From they to whom much is given, much is expected" We have a lot of blank areas. We have been left a lot of information that, interpreted rightly may fill some of these blank areas. We have had good people going at it for a long time (plus a few wrong turns but it would scarcely be any fun otherwise). The sad thing here is that the main thing we probably remember poor Depoin for (and he gave much that was good) is an error he would probably now be the first to admit and correct. It is just one of those things.
Anyway, I will let it go with that. Sorry to run on so long again. I am glad people raise such interesting questions. I particularly profited from the opinion of the poster whose answer to you I first responded directly to and from the chance to read again Mr. Olar's post at the newsgroup.
