Obama Gets A Taste Of Jiro's 'Dream' Sushi In Name Of Diplomacy
Originally published on Wed April 23, 2014 11:06 pm
President Obama kicked off the first leg of his tour of Asia on Wednesday with some sushi diplomacy.
He dined with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a revered and tiny temple of sushi in Tokyo called Sukiyabashi Jiro. The subterranean restaurant, with just 10 seats at the counter, was made famous by the 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
Obama emerged with a thumbs-up review. "That's some good sushi right there," he said. "It was terrific. Thank you so much."
If you've ever seen the documentary, you know why: The sushi Obama had was carefully crafted by 89-year-old sushi master Jiro Ono.
"His sushi is the best in the world," says David Gelb, who directed the film. "For someone who has a taste for true, pure Japanese sushi, I mean it's a place you kind of have to go to."
But for the many of us who haven't been lucky enough to grab one those 10 prized seats, Gelb joined All Things Considered's Melissa Block to talk about what it's like to dine at such an iconic place.
For starters, the restaurant is hidden in the basement of an office building and offers only one item on its menu — the omakase course, which can cost between $300 and $400 per person. It consists of 20 pieces of sushi, prepared and served one at a time.
"There are no appetizers, no rolls of any kind," Gelb says. "It's purely his style of sushi, which is kind of the classic Tokyo style, which is basically just fish and rice and seasoning, maybe a soy sauce or a nikiri, which is a kind of sweetened soy sauce."
And if you're fortunate enough to be one of Ono's costumers, don't even think about ordering off the menu — even if you are the president of the United States. "The Jiro that I know would not change his sushi for anyone," Gelb says, adding that "he just gives you what he feels is the best of the day."
And Ono really means the best. Every day, for instance, he massages the octopus he's planning to serve for an hour.
"The octopuses that he gets are trolling the seafloor, eating clams and other delicious shellfish," Gelb says. "And so he's getting the octopus that has the best diet, and then he massages it — or has his apprentices massage it, because he's getting on in the years — to bring out the best flavors."
That's because to Ono, making sushi is more than just a job; it's an art form, an obsession, even. In the film, he tells Gelb that he'd wake up in the middle of the night, and in dreams would have visions of sushi.
"His philosophy of work, where it's about finding a routine and mastering that craft, it applies to any kind of art," he adds.
So you can imagine, eating in front of such a meticulous artist can get a bit intimidating.
"The first time that I ate there, I was very nervous," Gelb tells Block. "I mean the man is a living legend, and he watches, and he observes the customers very closely, and so it can be a nerve-wracking experience."
But, he says, the sushi is so good that the tension melts away.
"The restaurant is very quiet," Gelb adds. "There's no music or anything. "There's just the sound of the fountain, and you kind of got into this sushi trance, and it's quite an amazing experience."
President Obama began his trip to Japan with some sushi diplomacy. He had dinner with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a revered and tiny temple of sushi in Tokyo: a subterranean restaurant with just 10 seats at the counter. He emerged with a thumbs-up review.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: That's some good sushi right there. It was terrific. Thank you so much.
BLOCK: That terrific sushi was carefully crafted by the 89-year-old sushi master Jiro Ono. He was the subject of the recent documentary "Jiro Dream's of Sushi," from filmmaker David Gelb, who joins me now. Welcome to the program.
DAVID GELB: Hi. Thank you for having me.
BLOCK: And David, why don't you describe a meal at Sukiyabashi Jiro for those people who are lucky enough to get one of those prized 10 seats at the counter?
GELB: Well, yeah, a reservation is tough to come by because of how small, you know, the seating is. It's in the basement of an office building in Tokyo connected to a subway station so it's in the most unassuming of locations. But his sushi is the best in the world. For someone who has a taste for true, pure Japanese sushi, I mean it's a place that you kind of have to go to.
BLOCK: And when you say pure Japanese sushi, that's all he serves, right? There's nothing else. No appetizers, no other dishes, only sushi.
GELB: That's right. It's purely his style of sushi, which is classic Tokyo style, just fish and rice and seasoning, maybe a soy sauce or a nikiri, which is a kind of sweetened soy sauce that he would use to sweeten the fish.
BLOCK: It's one menu, right? So how many pieces would you be getting?
GELB: It's about 20 pieces.
BLOCK: Twenty pieces. And it costs?
Well, it can cost between $300 and $400 a person, but, you know, his margin is not huge because he's sourcing the absolute best of every ingredient.
And we hear Jiro Ono in your movie talking about his obsession with sushi.
JIRO ONO: (Speaking foreign language)
BLOCK: And he tells you, I'd wake up in the middle of the night, in dreams I would have visions of sushi, which brings you the title of your movie. What is it about it that intrigues him so much and that makes him ecstatic as he tells you?
GELB: Well, I think he's more than just a chef. He's a true artist. I believe that he's a genius. And if you see the passion that he has - for example, massaging the octopus every day for an hour just to bring out the flavor of the octopus' diet. You know, the octopus that he gets, they're trolling the seafloor eating clams and other delicious shellfish.
And so he's getting the octopus that has the best diet and then he massages it or has his apprentice massage it because he's getting, you know, on in the years to bring out the best flavor. So I think that his philosophy of work, where it's about finding a routine and that, mastering that craft, it applies to any kind of art.
BLOCK: Is it an intimidating thing to eat at his counter when he's standing very close, he's inches away watching you very intently, eat what he's prepared?
GELB: I mean, absolutely, you know. The first time that I ate there, I was very nervous because, I mean, the man is a living legend, and he watches, and he observes the customers very closely. And so it can be a nerve-wracking experience. But the sushi is so good that the tension melts away and you find yourself - you know, the restaurant is very quiet.
He has a fountain, you know. There's no music or anything. There's just the sound of a fountain, and you kind of go into this sushi trance, and it's quite an amazing experience.
BLOCK: Well, David Gelb, thanks for talking to us.
GELB: It's a pleasure. Thank you.
BLOCK: David Gelb's film about the sushi restaurant where President Obama dined in Tokyo tonight is "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A Thursday, May 1, routine traffic stop led to the arrest of two men. Leon Roger Fortune, 31, of Gresham, and Nicholas Turner, 33, of Johnsonville, have been charged with trafficking heroin, crack cocaine among other charges.
According to a Williamsburg County Sheriffs Office Incident Report, around 6 p.m. a WCSO deputy was observing traffic on Highway 41 and County Line Road near Hemingway when he noticed two men in a vehicle were not wearing seatbelts. At that time the deputy conducted a traffic stop and approached the passenger side of the vehicle. Upon noticing an overwhelming smell of marijuana and alcohol, the officer asked both men for identification. The driver, who identified himself as Nicholas Turner, did not have identification. The deputy also noticed both men were acting very nervous.
Law enforcement would eventually seize 55 grams of heroin, 72 grams of crack cocaine and 3 pounds of marijuana.
The vehicle was not owned by either of the men; however, it was seized due to the connection of trafficking such large quantities of narcotics.
During the arrest officers noticed Fortune was wearing an ankle monitor. Fortune told law enforcement he was wearing the monitor as a condition of his bond in Marion County for trafficking offences. Hemingway Chief Bryan Todd also assisted in the arrests. Williamsburg County Sheriffs Office continues to investigate the incident.

"This soup is quick to make, flavorful, and filling! Serve with warm corn bread or tortillas. This also freezes well. Garnish with chopped fresh avocado, Monterey Jack cheese, crushed tortilla chips, or green onion!"

onion, chopped
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1 tablespoon
olive oil
2 teaspoons
chili powder
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 (28 ounce) can
crushed tomatoes
1 (10.5 ounce) can
condensed chicken broth
1 1/4 cups
1 cup
whole corn kernels, cooked
1 cup
white hominy
1 (4 ounce) can
chopped green chile peppers
1 (15 ounce) can
black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
crushed tortilla chips
sliced avocado
shredded Monterey Jack cheese
chopped green onions
I read every single review (all 114) prior to making this soup, so I changed a few things. It turned out wonderfully!! Here's how I did it: I diced two boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them prior to starting with the olive oil, 2 cloves garlic and 1/2 cup diced onion. Then I added 4 cans condensed chicken broth (many people said the soup was very thick - chili-like consistency, and I wanted more of a soup). I also added a can of water (filled a broth can with water). I added the crushed tomatoes (28 oz), the hominy (15 oz), the diced green chili peppers (4 oz), 1 tsp each of cumin (instead of oregano as many reviewers suggested), lime juice and garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp of chili powder. I brought to a boil and let simmer for 1 hour (as others also suggested). Top with shredded monterey jack cheese and garnish w/ tortilla chips. EXCELLENT! My husband said it tasted just like the chicken tortilla soup we'd had at Chili's - which was what I was aiming for!! I think the sour cream would have been a good topping as well, maybe next time. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
Not sure if people are rating this recipe based on their personal revisions, but as written this recipe does not deliver. It's too watery, it needs more time to cook, and it completely lacks in spice/flavor. Luckily I had a couple ingredients on hand to fix it, and the end result was wonderful and the whole family asked to have it again (soon). So I will share my changes: 1) Use shredded chicken - it's more like what you'd get in a restaurant. 2) Let this soup simmer in a crock pot - I did it on low for a total of 5 hours. It thickens the soup and helps the flavors blend. 3) Substitute the water for chicken broth (I used a total of 3 cups of broth). 4) Skip the hominy - one cup of corn is enough. Add an extra 4oz can of green chilis. 5) ADD A PACKET OF TACO SEASONING (I had McCormick's on hand) and increase the chili powder by 1 tsp. Add a sprinkle of cumin and a little salt (or garlic salt). 6) Add 8-10 finely crushed tortilla chips (baked are ok) into the soup (they'll cook down so you won't have crunchy bites but they add a good flavor - it is TORTILLA soup, right?) 7) After simmering for 4 1/2 hours, stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream. Continue to simmer for 30 minutes. This is what really puts the soup over the top and gives is a creamy texture similar to what I've had in most restaurants. 8) Serve with diced avocado, shredded cheese, and more tortilla chips for crumbling. End result - awesome!

My husband and I loved this soup - it tastes just like the chicken tortilla soup I've had at restaurants. I made the following changes. I first sauteed cut up chicken breast in a little olive oil, with salt and pepper and garlic powder, and then I shredded the chicken. I used 4 cloves of garlic, because we love garlic! I substituted 2 tsp of cumin for the oregano. I added 2 cans of chicken broth and omitted the water. I don't particularly like hominy, so I substituted 2 cups of frozen white corn. And I didn't have any canned green chile peppers, so I used half a can of diced jalepenos. I topped off the soup with Monterey Jack Cheese, crushed tortilla chips, fresh minced Cilantro and a little sour cream . It was wonderful! I served the soup with Mexican cornbread (basically cornbread mix to which I added diced jalepenos and 1 1/2 cups of Monterey Jack). I definitely be making this soup again !
I can't say enough good things about this recipe!! Suffice to say that I've made it at least 6 times in the past several months. It's such a good, hearty soup, and so easy to make. I've made it for friends several times and EVERYONE has asked for the recipe. Here's what I've learned:
1) Make sure you use FRESH cilantro. It truly does make a difference.
2) I bake the chicken and chop it up (rather than shredding) using my Pampered Chef hand chopper. REALLY fast and much easier than shredding.
3) Eliminate the water and use another can of chicken broth instead.
4) Omit the oregano - use 1 teaspoon of cumin (as others suggested) instead.
5) Rather than shredding Monteray Jack, I find that Kraft shredded Mexican cheese works just as well and is easier/faster.
6) I've never had a ripe avacado on hand, and though I'm sure it would be good, it's not necessary because this soup is already delicious. 7)I add sour cream as an additional garnish.
Not like the tortilla soup I had in Mexico, but very good with some changes other reviewers suggested. I started with the base and it tasted bland so I added cumin and more chili powder (salt and pepper to taste) and let this simmer (after only 10 minutes the tomatoes still taste raw). I recommend an hour. Towards the end, add the chicken and beans-they only need to be heated through. I have no clue what condensed chicken broth is, so I used regular broth. I ended up adding 2 more cups of chicken broth, as it was too thick. Topped with cheese, tortilla chips, Franks hot sauce and sour cream and it was pretty and delicious!
So delicious!! I only gave this four stars because this is the second time I've made it; the first time I followed the recipe exactly but this time I modified it slightly. My changes made it even better! I used a pre-cooked chicken, omitted the oregano and cilantro, added 1 tsp cumin, and used 1 tsp regular chile powder plus 1 tsp ancho chile powder. It was aMAzing!! I STRONGLY recommend the ancho chile powder to those who can find it...it gave it such an awesome flavor! Next time I may just use all ancho and none of the regular... Will DEFINITELY make again!!
GREAT - We are big soup lovers and make many kinds of soup all year round. My husband, son and I love this soup. I have made this soup at least 4 times over the last year. I usually double the recipe and saute the chicken breasts in a little olive oil with garlic powder and black pepper then shred before adding to the soup just before the simmering step. I also use additional chicken broth instead of water and add 1 jar of salsa. Sometimes I add hominy, sometimes not. I also add cumin and some lemon juice to taste. HOWEVER, I always let the soup simmer for at least a hour or more on low heat to let the flavors come together. This makes it even better the next day. This is very good topped with sour cream, chopped green onions and shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese.
We loved this soup! I didn't add the oregano because that seems like an Italian herb. Instead I added cumin. Be sure to use crushed tomatoes and not whole or chopped. The crushed is thicker, the others are too watery.

COLUMBIA CITY — Excitement may center around Drew's and Johnson's new-found leadership of Coupled Products LLC, but with the purchase of the business, owners also inherited a picket line.
Now into month 20, the amount of workers on strike has decreased from 29 to 21.
Although strikers declare unfair labor practices, Drew said Coupled Products has an "excellent workforce in the plant" and "dedicated employees" who will support the company.
However, from the picket line, workers are not so supportive.
"We are still confused by comments we hear from the union members on the picket line to shut down the plant," Drew said.
"If the plant shuts down, everybody loses and the entire Columbia City community is affected because the jobs are lost forever. The employees' wages no longer would flow through the local economy. The trickle-down effect of the loss of the jobs would be devastating for the community. The community needs job growth and that is what we provide for nearly 100 workers."
In fact, Coupled Products continues to bring more business to Columbia City. Drew said within the last five years, more equipment, business as well as jobs have moved from Ohio, Michigan and Mexico to Columbia City.

Inspired by the movie's theme of good witch vs. bad witch (and the good witch/bad witch dichotomy in all of us), we created two insanely gorgeous, limited-edition palettes loaded with beautiful, never-before-seen shades you'll want to own. We spent HOURS obsessively staring at images from the film (and not just the ones featuring its hot male lead, James Franco) to carefully craft the perfect mix of shades for these palettes.

Defender® V50 guitar amplifiers are perfect for guitarists who won't settle for anything less than the very best all-tube tones. At the heart of the V50 are EL34 power tubes that provide defined lows, rich aggressive mids and a sweet top end that cuts through the mix but is never harsh. When partnered with venerable Celestion® Vintage 30 speakers and a cabinet made with quality plywood, you get an amplifier that sings and screams with unrivaled authority.
The V50 is a two-channel design, each with its own Master Volume control that lets users dial in anything from chunky, medium-gain sounds to scorching, full-on heavy tones. Furthermore, each Volume control has its own Pull Bright function that tightens the low-end and extends the hi-end: perfect for articulate high-gain tones. Bass, Middle and Treble controls provide full tone-shaping capabilities.
The V50 also provides luscious spring Reverb with its own Tone control: a classic Kustom feature from the 1960s. From spacious to cavernous, it's your choice!
And when it's time for the gig or the studio, the V50's Speaker-Emulated XLR Direct Out totally nails the amp's overall sound for mixers. A variable, footswitch-able Volume Boost that works on either channel makes solos – or those quick fills – stand out in the mix.
A 3-function Kustom footswitch enables users to switch channels, turn the boost on or off, and activate effects. Simply put, the Defender V50 has tones, style and performance that will blow you away.

Am I in the minority of not thinking that's offensive at all?
Am I in the minority of not thinking that's offensive at all?
Survival is Triumph Enough
-Harry Crews
HAHAHAH Sonnen kills me, he is hilarious.. Why is anyone complaining? Get a life and grow up to anyone who thinks it's offensive. Rihanna dug her own hole.
Fedor Emelianenko is the Greatest P4P MMA fighter to ever walk the earth, hands down.
Yeah. Clearly, domestic violence becomes a laughing matter when one party shows co-dependent behavior.
Lolololol.....thank god sonnen is around to keep us in stitches.
Please oh please bring on the rape jokes too!!!!!
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
This is offensive? I mean, it's not super funny... but it's not offensive.
The only funny thing here is that when Sonnen was calling a whole country a bunch of stupid retards, no one apologized for him.
And now that he said something about a C level singer, the of course Fox will apologize, and Dana baldfuck White will also say that Sonnen should not try to be a comedian and what he said is bad.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff

Not At All Like the Photo
By Okie

About Me Minimalist
The cut looks to me like someone put a bowl on your head and cut it. Totally unnatural look. Can't style it at all. I'm very disappointed with it. the bangs are totally unmanageable. It just lays like a lump of hair on your head. I would not recommend it. I'm sorry I bought it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Is this what I ordered?

Very thin, it looks nothing like the picture. I tried to lightly tease the totally flat top, but it didn't help. I loved my first PY wig and this one is very disappointing. It's going back.

Looks cute, but is very sparse
By BonBon
from Oak Creek Wi
I wear wigs every day & have never had one that is so sparse in back. You can see right through too all the webbing in the back. I didn't even bother to try & style it as I knew that everyone would know I was wearing a wig. How can you even sell this product this way? I know it is a cool cap product, but really do we want every one to know we wear alternative hair? Not up to Paula Young standards for sure.

Midsize Premium Car
Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2011 BMW 535i xDrive !
The BMW 5 Series is a midsize 4-door sedan that was first introduced in 1972. Now in its sixth generation, the 5-passenger model is all new for 2011. Loyalists to the 5 Series may notice that the station wagon "Touring" variant has been dropped from the lineup. However, in its place BMW has introduced an all-new 5 Series Gran Turismo model, which is based on a modified 7 Series platform.
The 2011 BMW 5 Series is offered in three trim levels: 528i, 535i, and 550i. All three arrive with a long list of standard equipment, including full power accessories, dual-zone climate control, and alloy wheels. Vinyl upholstery is standard on the 528i and 535i, with leather standard on the 550i. Like most BMW models, the 5 Series is offered with several large equipment packages, including Cold Weather, Sport, Premium, Premium Sound, and M Sport. These add equipment such as upgraded upholstery, larger alloy wheels, sport-tuned suspension, high-fidelity audio, and more. Navigation is a stand-alone option.
The 2011 BMW 5 Series is offered with three engine choices. The standard power plant is a 3.0-liter, inline 6-cylinder engine rated at 240 horsepower. The 535i is fitted with a turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine rated at 300 horsepower, while the 550i features a twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V-8 engine tuned to 400 horsepower. A 6-speed manual is standard on all variations with an 8-speed automatic optional. Most 5 Series models are rear-wheel drive, while the xDrive nomenclature designates all-wheel drive. The EPA rates the fuel economy of the 2011 BMW 5 Series between 16 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, depending on powertrain.
The 2011 BMW 528i Sedan starts at a base price of around $45,500 and tops out with the 550i xDrive Sedan, which starts at around $63,000.

The biggest news for canoeists is in canoe accessories, but there are also developments in the green realm as well as hot new canoe designs.
Work of Art
The hot new canoes are high-end special edition models – like the Northwind by Bell Canoe Works (shown). Made of BlackGold carbon fiber, it's incredibly strong and classically beautiful. Store it on the dock as a sculpture, or just paddle it around to make the neighbors jealous.
If you're not interested in upgrading to a canoe with more bells and whistles, accessories can totallychange your experience on the water. As with kayakers, canoeists want comfort and the ability to customize their boat for how they spend time paddling. There are a slew of outfitting options. Check out supportive seats like the Mad River Canoe's Comfort Seating System for rotomolded canoes and sport-specific upgrades like rod holders and tackle boxes for canoeing anglers.
Green and More Green
On the green front, dry bags – roll-top bags that seal out water to keep contents, even electronics, dry – are now mostly free of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC.
If keeping your paddling environmentally friendly is important to you, make sure your personal flotation device (PFD) is also PVC-free.
Why all the fuss about PVC? As PFD manufacturer Astral Buoyancy states on its Web site, "It is well documented and accepted that the creation of PVC contributes to significant environmental (including human) degradation." Dioxin, a by-product of PVC manufacture, leaches into water, bio-accumulates in the foodchain, and disrupts human immune system function and hormones and causes cancer.* Most paddlesports companies are in the process of making their gear PVC-free.
Beyond PVC, there are recycled kayaks. In spring 2008, the first 100-percent recycled kayaks will hit stores and then hit the water. Made from repurposed factory scrap, the kayaks have been getting a thumbsup for performance and are hitting the water stiffer and more responsive than some of their non-recycled cousins. 100-percent recycled canoes won't be far behind.
* Vinyl chloride is classified as a human carcinogen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. And vinyl chloride is classified as one of the 20 most hazardous substances to humans by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (according to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act Priority List of Hazardous Substances for 2005).

It looks like a good phone, and sexy to boot. My favorite part? It looks nothing like an iPhone, and it is still gorgeous. Samsung should learn some lessons from Nokia, here: you can make a good-looking, functional smartphone WITHOUT copying Apple. I won't be getting the Lumia 920, because I am a die hard Apple fanboy, but I love that this phone looks NOTHING like the iPhone, but still looks GREAT! Good job, Nokia!
Nokia tries to preempt iPhone 5 with amazing Lumia 920 camera, absolutely no launch details
Once news got out that Apple would be holding an iPhone event on September 12, every competitor and their platform partner scrambled to announce events ahead of time. Mostly. The first was Nokia's Windows Phone event this morning, which showed off the new flagship Nokia Lumia 920 with a brief nod to the mode budget-friendly Nokia Lumia 820. Daniel Rubino from our Mobile Nations sibling site, WPCentral was there live to catch all the actions.
Along with some digs at Samsung (for their "first" Windows Phone 8 device being unfinished) and Apple (for putting needless metal elements in their antennas), Nokia threw the spotlight on location services, including their traditional maps products, transit directions (which will be offloaded to 3rd party apps in iOS 6), indoor directions, and some interesting if awkward Augmented Reality features. Inductive charging was also front-and-center, along with partnerships to bring compatible chargers to places like Virgin Atlantic lounges, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf outlets, and retails products like Fatboys.
Once again the materials look out of this world. Literally. Nokia stressed how you could pound nails with the Lumia 920. Literally. The screen is curved and gorgeous and intelligently tries to prevent glare when used outside. The assemblies are ceramic to prevent scratches, and the whole, solid unit looks built to last. Apple and Nokia are both making phenomenal, iconic hardware these days. No one else is coming close.
The most impressive part of the demo, however, was the Lumia 920 camera. Building off Nokia's PureView brand, it sports a massive, over-sampling lens with an f2.0 aperture that's essentially "floated" so it can capture more light, longer, and produce truly amazing images. A series of "lens" apps, including Microsoft's Photosynth allow for extended features and functionality as well.
It will be interesting to see if Phil Schiller, who's been handling the iPhone camera demos for the last few Apple events, can show off something competitive on September 12.
Microsoft's Joe Belfiore also previewed home screen tile customizations and a new feature of Windows Phone 8: Press the Home and Power button at the same time, and you get a screenshot. You're welcome, bloggers.
Steve Ballmer came out at the end to proclaim 2012 the "year of Windows", which was a bit odd since, from Microsoft's perspective, which year wouldn't be the year of Windows?
The biggest disappointment of the event, however, was that absolutely no pricing or launch date information was provided. Similar to the Microsoft Surface event, it smacked of something thrown together quickly to grab some b-roll from the iPhone 5, with neither the Windows Phone 8 feature set nor go-to-market strategy actually finished yet.
And that's too bad. Because those details matter. And you better believe that on September 12, Apple will announce a price and ship date for iPhone 5.

Nokia tries to preempt iPhone 5 with amazing Lumia 920 camera, absolutely no launch details
With the bright colors and focus on camera and inductive charging, it's easy to see who Nokia and MS are aiming at here. And it's exactly who they need to focus on.
While I couldn't imagine actually buying one of these loud color phones, the only thing I'm really interested in is WP8, new features, and how it ties into windows ecosystem. There was little of that here.
The other disappointing thing is that this is probably the best we can expect with both Nokia and MS working closely together. I don't get the sense that MS works as closely with other partners. I'd have to see more about Samsung's offering.
The demo seemed too rushed for some reason like it was just set up in a hurry.. one of the most annoying parts of it was where one of the speakers constantly kept reading off the script and making errors regardless.. poor preparation that kinda doesn't hold any candlelight to Apple's events.. Was hoping for a launch date, but we got nothing of the sort - sigh! I don't think this will honestly have people flocking to the Lumia 920 / 820 from other ecosystems just yet.. especially with Apple's own big event coming up next week.
I've never understood why competitors rush to announce something *just before* Apple. Even Apple's harshest critics concede they are masterful presenters, and that the media will saturate all channels (over)analyzing Apple's event. Since Apple typically does one big show per product per year, the media also spends about a week beforehand with nearly as much pre-event speculation and hype.
So a week before Apple is the absolute *WORST* time to announce something. Unless you are shipping or taking pre-orders that very day, at most you get two days of sharing page 2 with pre-Apple-event speculation before your message is blown completely off the page/screen, virtually forgotten by the time your product ships. And yet competitors, from Nokia to Google, still try to beat Apple to the announcement punch by a few days. Insanity.
Far better would be to ride out the Apple event storm -- Nokia, you ain't conceding any media space to Apple that their event wouldn't already seize -- and then show up with a more polished, final-to-shipping presentation perhaps even rebutting weak points in Apple's announced product with specific things yours does better.
These phones look awesome! I'm not going to hold my breath but I sure wish this phone would also be available on Verizon. The iPhone 5 will definitely be my main squeeze but because of the techie in me, I would love to be a multi-platformer. Since Verizon uses sim cards for LTE it is possible now...
People need to work on presenatation more. Not only did it seem rushed now it a hurry up and wait situation. Say what you want about Apple but after all the leeks and speculation, they tell you the release date of the OS, when it goes to pre-order etc. They didn't even say when software will be avalible for existing hardware. Not good enough.
Just to sum things up. Clearly Nokia is in a rut. It looks like the last Lumia except heavier. Where's the innovation? I was expecting a much bigger screen. A total redesign. That yellow one looks like a glossy banana instead. I'm not walking around with a banana phone. I aint falling for that banana as a smartphone trick.
So just to be clear, when Apple announces a phone next week that looks like the last iPhone but larger, you will be asking "Where's the innovation?" right?
Just because it looks similar, doesn't mean it isn't packed with innovation or new features.
Re: '...over-sampling lens with an f2.0 aperture that's essentially "floated" so it can capture more light, longer, and produce truly amazing images.'
Wow. That really is amazing. We'll see if the iPhone 5 has anything even close to this. There have been zero rumors about the new iPhone camera component. (But seriously, even the same camera as in the 4S won't be a deal-breaker.)
Re: '...from Microsoft's perspective, which year wouldn't be the year of Windows?'
Exactly. The "Windows" brand has been spread too thin. It's been put on all manner of OSes, from the failed Windows Mobile to the niche player Windows Phone 7. None of which actually has a traditional windowed GUI.
Have to say, IMO Nokia and MS are blowing it big time. They can read all the rumors just like we can. They know the iPhone is coming this month. These Lumia's should be on sale next week at the latest. The same goes for Surface. How can they possibly hope to capture anyone after they all lined up to buy the new iPhone over a month before they launch their hero devices?
I just sold my iPhone 4 last week for more than I paid for it over 2 years ago. I'm ready to buy a new phone and I still have my Galaxy Nexus to sell as well. And Apple could very well win me back even though I think the 920 is everything the 900 ended up failing on for me.
Such disappointment at the seemingly complete lack of strategy and urgency here.
Come on Rene !
Once news got out that Apple would be holding an iPhone event on September 12, every competitor and their platform partner scrambled to announce events ahead of time."
Really ?! Apple announced their event yesterday ! Nokia had the September 5th event announced weeks ago !!!
And Nokia didn't try to preempt nothing. They simply announced their new products and they showed that theyre still part of the competition. Apple needs to really step it up next week !!
Did they have it announced before July 30?
Yes the did ! May 23rd ! ;)
Did Apple had theirs ANNOUNCED before July 30th
so you think Nokia went by the date your site announced a date that at the time was nothing but rumors ?! lol you must really think that every phone manufacturer comes to iMore , reads the rumors and then plans their keynotes & events around it !
Kudos for nailing the date Sep 12, but don't let that expand the size of your head my friend. Nokia would've been damned by you if you would've set their event anytime after Sep 12 ;)
You're suggesting nokia did not hear anything about the highly likely possibility of a Sept 12 announcement and coincidently gave a phone launch a week before the worst kept secret in the industry with no price or precise availability?
That article was written on May 23rd... when Nokia announced that they were going to move Nokia World 2012 from September 25th to September 5th.
I think this reason is strong enough for an apologize.
Definitely a sexy phone... but it does remind me of the 4th gen iPod Nano w/ the shape and color scheme. Apple is boxing itself in with once a year innovation for its phones... all the other possible designs will already be thought off and produced by non-apple companies in next 12 months. It seems Apple has already run into the end of form factor innovation when it comes to the iPhone.... it'll be 3 years with essentially the same design (iphone4, iphone4s, iphone5). Limiting its phone selection to 1 phone and 2 colors creates efficiencies business/manufacturing wise but I believe they should offer a wider selection of phones.
Amazing hardware... HTC One series anyone?? Come on ... have you ever handle the HTC one X or One S .. .
Besides the Iphone hardware are overrated.. NEEDLESS METAL .. is correct.. but not for the reasons Nokia would think... The needless metals are the reason why Iphone screens are prone to cracks.. The plasticky Samsung is more functional because it keeps your device's screen safe..
I love the 920 soo much. The last iPhone I had was in 2010 and I never want to get one again. I usually keep two phones . A galaxy s 3 and a galaxy note. Windows phone 8 is the excitment I needed. Goodbye galaxy note. Don't get me wrong I still have an iPad 3 . I just wouldnt ever buy another iPhone . I'm surprise people aren't tired of the same platform yet with the same incremental upgrades once a year ugh. To each his own I guess.

By James on 4/17/2015 James would recommend this product to a friend Dosed the recommended amount: 1 cup per 50 gallons. I dosed 2 cups for my 100gal tank. Day 5 I came home from work in the morning and saw my tank was extremely cloudy (normally crystal clear water column). I noticed a bad odor coming from the sump area. I discovered my Green Bird Wrasse had jumped from the tank, and a few hours later my Rusty Angel was dead on it's side. Bio Pellets will cause I major drop in available O2 levels in your tank. BE VERY CAREFUL with these pellets. DO NOT start off with the recommended dosage. I would start with 1/4th of the dose. Also, make sure you have a VERY GOOD skimmer to remove the increased skimmate from these pellets. I have stopped running my reactor and hope that when I get home in the morning I don't have anymore dead fish. Not sure By Brandon on 4/9/2015 Brandon wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I've used TLF pellets with good results. These BRS pellets are larger and seem to be less dense. I'm having a floating issue with a small % of them. The rest of them won't settle down to my satisfaction. The tend to hover in the middle of my reactor. Time will tell! good product By subie on 2/22/2015 subie would recommend this product to a friend Works good for nitrate so far.. Good so far By David L on 12/22/2014 David L would recommend this product to a friend I was sent the BRS brand of bio pellets after having issues with TLF brand floating and clumping. I had no issues with the BRS brand from day one. Now lets see if the bio pellets help reduce my nitrates. Good Product By EZ on 12/1/2014 EZ would recommend this product to a friend I've tried a few different types of biopellets and I seem to keep coming back to these. They tumble well, and don't seem to clump like other do. I have them running in two TLF reactors run in series which holds just about 1000 ml of pellets. They seem to work pretty well as i have never had a nitrate or phosphate issue but that's all purely anecdotal. Excellent By Michael on 10/29/2014 Michael would recommend this product to a friend Perfect match for my Reef Octopus 3000 reactor. GOOD By Marta on 10/29/2014 Marta would recommend this product to a friend Works good for nitrate reduction but I dont see it helping with phosphates in my tank. disapointed By joesreeftank on 10/24/2014 joesreeftank wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Not sure of the quality of the pellets just yet, my concern is when i received my order the jar was open and the pellets spilled all over, I emailed BRS and received no response. Amazing By Paul on 10/22/2014 Paul would recommend this product to a friend These tumble great in my little media reactor and keep nitrates and phosphates at 0, what more can you ask for? I only got the 500ml bag for my 30 gallong nano with a mix of coral and live rock and have had no issue with algae blooms and such like others. Just follow the directions, and if you have an established tank, start with very little so you don't get a big bloom. It's all in the directions. BRS Biopellets By Ojake on 9/7/2014 Ojake would recommend this product to a friend Been using them for over 1 year now. Using a Reef Octopus reactor and large water flow. I have had NONE of the problems some people are reporting. Nitrates and Phosphates remain below detectable using Red Sea tests kits. Great for FOLR tanks, SPS keepers beware By Eldog on 8/20/2014 Eldog wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I have been running biopellets in a BR 140 chamber for nearly 5 months. I switched to Ecobac pellets due to rapid degradation of the BR biopellets and guess what; the Ecobac pellets degraded even faster. On the plus side the biopellets did completely remove all nitrates and phosphates, undetectable on testing. Unfortunately, the SPS corals, and clams did not respond well, slow tissue necrosis and cynobacteria was a major side effect of the organic carbon influx induced by the biopellets. The whitish residue from the degradation of the biopellets coats all plumbing surfaces and sides of sump and skimmer. For heavy bio-loaded FOLR tanks the biopellets would work perfectly, cyanobacteria as consequence, but I would not recommend this product for SPS reef tanks. The LPS corals were fine with normal growth of zoanthids and other colonies. I have taken the biopellet reactor off my 230 display. Experiment over. Can't get my nitrates down By Roman on 8/19/2014 Roman would recommend this product to a friend 8 months after starting using BRS biopellets in my Innovative Marine media reactor still cannot get nitrates down, it seems to be stuck at 10-20 ppm. No negative side effects like bacteria or diatoms boom, but I was hoping to get results faster. Started dosing Brightwell Microbacter7, hope it will properly seed the reactor with better bacteria strain and start bringing down nitrates Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS Bulk Biopellets *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Grave inconsistencies.
Grant Gallicho July 2, 2013 - 7:44pm
Yesterday Milwaukee Catholics were treated to a six-thousand-page document dump revealing more information about the way their bishops handled the sexual-abuse crisis over the past few decades. Much of the news is distressingly familiar. You know the dirge: Abusers were routinely moved from parish to parish, or school to school, without telling local administrators why they were being reassigned. Even when bishops practically begged the Vatican to speedily laicize abusive priests, Rome took its time. (The case of John O'Brien seems particularly egregious. He'd been convicted of sexually assaulting a teenager and had petitioned John Paul II to be returned to the lay state. Then-Archbishop Timothy Dolan had to nag the Vatican to grant the petition twice in 2003. O'Brien wasn't laicized until 2009.) But the document cache released by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee does hold some surprises.
In early 2011, Cardinal Dolan, now archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, warned readers of his blog that they might come across some "preposterous charges" concerning his tenure as archbishop of Milwaukee. Victims' attorney Jeff Anderson had been telling anyone within earshot that when Dolan was archbishop of Milwaukee he moved as much as $130 million off the archdiocese's books in an effort to shield it from victims seeking damages. Not so, said Dolan. He was simply returning money--$70 million of it--to parishes who had it on deposit with the archdiocese. What about the other $60 million? According to Dolan, he was just taking money that had been designated for the care of archdiocesan cemeteries and making sure it was "secure." The annual operating budget of the archdiocese is about $25 million.
But a letter included in the files released yesterday seems to complicate that claim. In June 2007, then-Archbishop Dolan wrote to the Vatican requesting permission to transfer nearly $57 million to a newly created trust for cemeteries owned by the archdiocese. "By transferring these assets to this trust," Dolan wrote, "I foresee an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability."
The letter was written just eleven months after word came that ten lawsuits against the Archdiocese of Wisconsin would be moving ahead in California, which had enacted legislation making it easier for victims to sue--something many feared would happen in Wisconsin and elswehere. Soon after, the archdiocese announced plans to sell its headquarters. (Dolan had already sold diocesan property totaling $4 million in order to establish a relief fund for victims.) But the housing bubble burst, and Dolan couldn't move the chancery building.
Weeks after Dolan petitioned the Vatican for permission to create the cemeteries trust, the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided to allow victims of sexual abuse by priests to sue for fraud if they could show that a diocese had transferred clergy with histories of abuse while deceptively claiming they posed no threat. That opened a window that had been held shut by a 1995 Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling barring victims from suing dioceses for negligence. It's not impossible to understand why, in that climate, just as the Archdiocese of Los Angeles was preparing to announce its record $660 million settlement with victims, a bishop would be extremely concerned about his diocese's financial exposure.
Still, on Monday Cardinal Dolan put out a statement again denying that he'd transferred the $57 million in order to "shield it from bankruptcy proceedings." He does not take up the reason he gave Rome for moving the money. Instead the cardinal repeats his assertion that creating the cemetery trust was "required by state law and mandated by the archdiocesan finance council." It's not clear what law Dolan is referring to (nor does he remind readers that episcopal authority is not restricted by diocesan finance councils). "Most states have regulatory oversight of cemeteries to make sure they maintain sufficient reserves for upkeep," Jason Berry reported last year, "but dioceses, as religious organizations, are spared such regulation in Wisconsin." But even if there is a law that would compel a religious organization to conform to financial norms set by the state (and it seems that, at least when it comes to religious cemeteries, there is not), would it force the archbishop to fund that trust with so much cash--more than twice the archdiocese's annual operating budget? The cardinal's most recent statement does not help clarify these glaring inconsistencies.
Money may salve the wounds caused by sexual abuse, but by itself it cannot heal them. And no one should pretend that some dioceses' ministries could not be curtailed by large financial settlements. But as the editors of Commonweal wrote after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles announced its $660 million settlement with victims, "The havoc wreaked by abuser priests and the bishops who enabled them is first and foremost a matter of unimaginable private anguish for the victims.... A bishop's fiduciary responsibility for his diocese does not override the demands of justice for victims."
Commenting Guidelines
This money was Archbishop Cousins's/Weakland's/Dolan's/Listecki's. Victims of their bad decisions have every right go after these resources because Catholics handed it over without demanding accountability.
Jack, I understand the emotional appeal of this argument, but I've never found it - that the people of a diocese "deserve" to have their diocese looted because the church isn't a very accountable organization - a very compelling one. By that logic, the people also "deserve" it if their bishop spends diocesan money on hookers, or pays it to a blackmailer. The fact is, the people deserve none of these things.
The church is sufficiently accountable, or isn't, regardless of whether victims were abused. Victims' claims should be judged on their own merits, not used as some crude bludgeon to club the Catholic church for other reasons.
Jim P you may have doubts that the transfers were to avoid law suits
If you think that is what I have been saying, you haven't followed my arguments - or perhaps I haven't written them very clearly. I don't doubt that bishops and dioceses do all sorts of things to limit their liability for all sorts of reasons, including liability to victims of sexual abuse. I'd be angry if they didn't. In doing this, I do think they should obey just laws.
- per agreed upon history, Dolan spent a year as auxiliary in STL reading thru the abuse/clerical files - he lost weight, couldn't sleep, described it as his personal Lenten journey, etc. Yet, once a bishop, this experience does not seem to have led to many pastoral or good outcomes.
What are we to make of that? How can that be explained? He learned, then he un-learned? What can we do about it?
In fact look at the staggering millions spent on defending Monsignor Lynn of Philadelphia, more than 6 million for that 1 case. Then there is the much greater sum spent to defend Bishop Finn of Kansas City who pled guilty to child endangerment.
Those weren't victim lawsuits. Those were criminal prosecutions by the state. To the best I can recall, I've never objected to either one, nor defended either defendant's conduct. (I have seen some things commented here suggesting that Lynn was railroaded, but those comments didn't come from me, and I don't know enough about the specifics of Lynn's case to have an opinion; unless I learn otherwise, my opinion is that justice has been done). FWIW, I think both convictions stand as salutary warnings to other bishops and diocesan officials - and to any clergy or church employee.
For that matter, I've never defended any instance of abuse, or any coverup, or any enablement by a diocese, that seems credible. All of these things fill me with revulsion. But I think jackpot justice is bad for the church for many reasons, and probably a mixed blessing at best for victims, and I'd like to see both sides pursue less adversarial ways of bringing about justice.
If it's legitmate for you to speculate about the cost of maintaining the Milwaukee cemeteries, then it's legitimate for me to speculate about it too. And the issue I was talking about is whether or not the Cardinal told a lie, not whether he should protect the diocese's capital.
I'm quite sure that the costs to the Archdiocese of New Orleans to maintain our Catholic cemeteries are much higher than the costs of maintaining cemeteries in other American cities. The reason is because ours are prime tourist targets that dozens and dozens of thousands of tourists visit each year. (We generally bury people in tombs and some of the tombs are works of art.) It so happens that this very week our archbishop published his yearly report on finances, and I looked it over. I certainly didn't notice any outlay of millions of dollars for the cemeteries which would have required the income from $57 million. The claim that Milwaukee needs the income from $57M for its cemeteries is preposterous. In other words, somebody is lying about what that $57M is actually used for.
You can argue that the Milwaukee bishop had a right -- even a duty -- to protect the money, but it seems to me that protecting the diocese of Milwaukee from lawsuits is not on a par with, say, protecting Jews from the Nazis. This lie was not justified, especially since it was against the law.
What I wonder about is how C. Dolan could have been so stupid as to think he'd get away with such a lie. Is he one of those people who thinks he can talk his way out of any corner?
When it comes to humility in the leadership of this church, there are too few Francises and way too many Dolans. Way too many.
Re: Bill deHaas July 4, 2013 - 12:26pm
When Alan Vigneron was Bishop of Oakland, he attempted to attach diocesan cemetery funds for some other uses.
At the time he was told by the director of said fund that those funds were assets of a separately constituted 501(c)3 corporation and if AV tried to touch them, he would be sued. (I got this directly from the fund director and have no reason not to believe him.)
AV demurred.
Now THAT is how things should be done.
Rev. Mr. Pauwels -- what I am saying is we deserve a more accountable Church. We deserve more of a say in our leaders. If we are going to continue with a top down model where all power to appoint bishops comes from Rome -- at the very least there should be limits and checks and balances. There should be boards of lay people who have real power on a diocesan level and the faithful should elect these boards. These boards don't have to touch issues of doctrine, theology, dogma, etc. -- but real oversight on more temporal issues should be in place.
Another keeper, Grant.
Is fraud a misdemeanor or a felony when it gets to $57 million?
As for Jeff Anderson, he is one of my heroes, and deserves every cent.
On the heels of the Globe's revelations, Anderson's phone rang continuously. Clients, usually referred by lawyers who knew of him, came from all over.
At the time, his practice was costing a lot more money than it was bringing in. His work had gotten tougher after a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling in 1996 that narrowly interpreted a law giving plaintiffs six years to file suit after discovering they were injured by sexual abuse. Anderson had lobbied for the expanded statute of limitations, which passed in its original form in 1989. Blackowiak v. Kemp, 546 N.W.2d 1.
By 2002, his 12-lawyer firm, Reinhardt & Anderson, had nearly tapped out its credit lines. Debt ran into the millions of dollars. While some of the other lawyers worked cases with Anderson, the firm's specialty was antitrust and class actions.
"I pledged all my personal assets, and the others were very much opposed to the amount of money I was spending, and we were in significant financial distress,"
Anderson explains. "They said, 'You've got to stop doing this,' and we split in an acrimonious divorce."
Yes, I hope he is making significant money to expand his practice. I believe he was almost kidnapped in Mexico when he went there to help a victim. Supposed immigration agents showed up at his hotel, saying he should come with them for violating his visa, and he was about to escorted out with supposed agents. Someone with his group phoned the police, who showed up in time to take him immediately to the airport to get him out of the country.
See him on a panel in NYC recently: http://www.booktv.org/Program/14526/Mortal+Sins+Sex+Crime+and+the+Era+of+Catholic+Scandal.aspx
Impressive, all of them on the panel.
I've called Jeff for help for survivors and he is fearless. He also knows every chancery trick in the book. His fuel is the way bishops treat survivors, and he is just mad enough to see that their d_mnable lies are challenged.
Bless "Anderson and his ilk."
Jim P: I know we differ, and that is reality. I just felt the need to offer a counter view about Anderson.
Carolyn - right, we differ, but we also agree on much. I'm grateful for your comments.
Carolyn --
Thanks for the information about Anderson. So much for the "greedy lawyer" trope (though I don't doubt there are some of those). Anderson deserves a medal, not slander.
All the talk of financial accountability means little and will come to nothing unless the people who provide the money have some real control over how it is used. That means parish and diocesan councils that can do more than offer advice; that can actually authorize expenditures or, at the least, veto them.
Bishops will never willingly relinquish even a power they are not well suited to exercise. So the only practical alternative to an unsatisfactory status quo is to withhold contributions or to redirect them to worthwhile organizations that are accountable. Call it the Leverage of the Sheep.
Ann - the comment about Dolan's STL history. Here is why I don't think he learned anything: To borrow from a truism, you have to talk the talk and walk the walk. Dolan is very good at talking the talk but his walking the walk is significantly influenced by his clerical stance; church is hierarchy stance; ambition driven persona. Thus, when push came to shove in Milwaukee, Dolan was most comfortable in the role of protector of the institution; priest/abuser came first; clerical instincts and clerical family came first. Whether we like it or not, clerical abusers are part of Dolan's diocesan family - this is what he will protect first; his role as *spiritual father* to victims comes second. It is an eternal tension and the people of God, children, lose out. Remember when, in 2002, Bishop Wilton Gregory's chancellor, a married father of three or more kids, wrote a very personal appeal letter as Gregory headed to Dallas. It obviously was written by a father (or mother) in terms of the need to protect children first and always. (Think Carolyn Disco has published the link before). Compare that to any bishop in terms of their language, actions, feelings. (it is the rare cleric who can react as a biological father/mother does). Thus, Dolan has to make a choice - does his diocesan family come first or his clerical family? And you know how that internal and very personal struggle usually plays out. Interesting info about SF cemetery fund - yet, that was set up completely separately from any type of pendiing bankruptcy decisions....unlike Dolan and Milwaukee. JP - if my memory serves me, the public posting of the LA archdiocesan abuse settlement, indicated that archdiocesan lawyers were paid, at minimum, $20-$30 million range over 5+ years and may have made twice that because archdiocesan spending audits do not reveal all of the LA costs or spending details - much is hidden; buried under a heading with little specific details, etc. And this at a time when Mahoney is laying off a few hundred diocesan employees; closing important departments e.g. hispanic outreach/education; cutting back on religious education; etc. Not sure I get your distinction between an abuser case and Monsignor Lynn's case because Lynn was being prosecuted.....all abuse cases are criminal and prosections. Difference is that Philly, for the most part, paid for Lynn's defense team....it is rare for a bishop to pay the defense team of an accused clerical abuser. So, that is an episcopal decision - has nothing to do with a DA or folks such as Jeff Anderson.
Bill deH. --
No doubt you're right about C. Dolan and his diocesan family. But in his case especially I think there is also his immaturity at play. I see him as a sometimes charming 10-year-old boy in a 60-year-old body. His tribe is his gang, and he is their fearless leader responsible for protecting them all from the howling Indians who are circling their camp.
I've noticed in the last year or so that when the hierarchy talks about reforming the seminaries they talk a great deal about the immaturity of some seminarians. I suspect this immaturity problem has been going on for a lot longer than they would admit. But it's not their fault entirely. The RCC doesn't really encourage maturity very much in anybody.
Bill DeH: the fund I talked about was/is in the diocese of Oakland, not SF. I don't know if there have been any changes since the time I mentioned. I most certainly hope not.
I don't see how obtaining damages incurred as a result of wrongful conduct constitutes looting of diocesan assets. Do members of parishes within the diocese "deserve" what ends up being their diminished capacity to do good or to fund schools? In a larger sense, no, no more than I would deserve to lose the equity in my house if my husband injured someone in a car accident for which we have insufficient insurance. But I would be less deserving of continuing my ownership of said assets than the wronged party. It's all relative, and the fact that people contribute unconditionally weakens their continuing claim to the disposition those assets (just as it would in any other situation with donated property). Their expectations (for instance, to the continued operation of their parish school) are not grounded in any legal entitlement (as it might have been if they had established a trust that funded school expenses, for instance). Their main recourse is to stop donating.
Not sure I get your distinction between an abuser case and Monsignor Lynn's case because Lynn was being prosecuted.....all abuse cases are criminal and prosections.
Hi, Bill, the difference in this instance is that a state prosecutor / district attorney is paid by the government and earns a fixed salary, whereas a civil lawsuit frequently is taken on a contingency basis. The prospect of a large award is an economic incentive for plaintiff attorneys - who, as Caroline rightly points out, also bear the financial risk if the venture (the lawsuit) doesn't work out in plaintiff's favor. I don't mean to come across as overly critical of the contingency fee system, as I believe that in many cases (including, I'd expect, in at least some if not most of the cases in which a diocese is sued) it serves as a workable way to get the case of a poor plaintiff into court with a realistic chance of getting justice done against a powerful defendant with deep pockets. (For this reason, I'm generally opposed to legislative proposals to cap damage awards).
It does gall me, though, that funds collected by a parish for a parish are vulnerable to plaintiff awards, when that parish has no direct connection at all to either the plaintiff or the abusive cleric. Nor do I see that a particular diocese has a responsibility to make up for Jeff Anderson's lean years because he wasn't as good at his craft when he sued some other dioceses.
"It does gall me, though, that funds collected by a parish for a parish are vulnerable to plaintiff awards, when that parish has no direct connection at all to either the plaintiff or the abusive cleric."
This is a common but inaccurate understanding of Church legal structures and finances.
Typically, the Parish and all of its assets belong to the Diocese, which is incorporated as a "Corporation Sole (in most states)" The only shareholder, officer and director of that corporation is the Bishop. All Parish assets, as a legal matter, belong to the bishop. No matter what any parishioner was told, promised or led to believe, all donations are available for the personal use of the bishop as he sees fit in his discretion. Obviously, under this legal structure, a judgment against the bishop can be satisfied out of any or all of the assets under the bishop's control. This rule applies to all persons who have lost a lawsuit.
It doens't have to be that way. The Church chose this legal structure, aware of the legal consequences. As an alternative, the Church could set up each parish as a separate corporation. If it had done so, then each parish woudl be liable for its own debts only and the assets of one parish woudl not be used to satisfy a judgment against the bishop. Of course, the bishop would then lose the ability to financially coerce doctrinal purity under such a structure (See Baptist churches). The loss of that ability presents a greater danger to the bishop's power than having all assets in the diocese available for the rare judgment.
Essentially, Dolan was attempting to set up a separate entity after the fact for the cemetery fund. That's legally frowned upon, especially in bankruptcy court.
Just know that your donations are for use at the Bishop's sole discretion, if you chose to make them. You would be mistaken if you thought the donations could be earmaked for a particular purpose and shielded from legal liability. That's why I donate zero dollars to the Parish. I donate to separate corporations such as Catholic Worker, Project Rachel and St. Vincent De Paul
"It does gall me, though, that funds collected by a parish for a parish are vulnerable to plaintiff awards, when that parish has no direct connection at all to either the plaintiff or the abusive cleric."
If you find it galling, then perhaps you should at least identify the correct target for your anger, and that is the person who left the diocese and its parishes exposed to such judgments, which would be, first, the offending priest, second, the bishop who failed to deal with the situation appropriately, and third, whoever set up the "all for one, one for all" legal structure of the enterprise. Most corporations are very careful to segregate distinct economic units into separate legal entity status for a whole host of reasons, and that's just one of them. Indeed, this catastrophe has been walking in slow motion for the last two going on three decades, and any diocese in the country had plenty of time to protect parishes through adopting a different legal entity structure to avoid this result. It isn't the fault of people wronged by priests and Church officials that they were derelict about this as well. (Bankruptcy only prevents transfers that are close in time to the bankruptcy -- if the diocesan funds had been transferred to the cemetary fund far enough in advance, it would not have been a problem.)
