Did Phoenix Bishop Go Too Far? O'Brien Accord with Prosecutors Raises Canon Law Questions. (Church in Crisis)
Feuerherd, Joe, National Catholic Reporter
The agreement sparing Phoenix Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien from prosecution for his handling of sexual abuse allegations against diocesan clergy does not appear to violate canon law, though it skirts dangerously close to a line the church is generally loath to approach.
The key question: Did O'Brien abdicate responsibility for decisions and personnel that he has no right to relinquish under church law? Additional concerns have been raised that the agreement binds O'Brien's successors in ways not permitted under canon law.
Announced June 2, the accord between the bishop and the Maricopa County attorney's office requires the archdiocese to establish a "moderator of the curia" with responsibility for "dealing with issues that arise relating to the revision, enforcement and application of the [diocesan] sexual misconduct policy."
In addition, the Phoenix diocese is required to have a youth protection advocate who will report allegations of sexual abuse by dioces an personnel to law enforcement officials "independently and not subject to the consent of Thomas J. O'Brien, or any other diocesan personnel." The youth protection advocate is to be assisted by counsel whose advice "will not be subject to approval by anyone within the diocese including, but not limited to, Thomas J. O'Brien or any other priest."
O'Brien says the agreement is permissible under church law because he retains the internal authority to deal with priests accused of abuse.
"The new youth protection advocate and the moderator of the curia will scrupulously adhere to the letter of the law in reporting allegations," O'Brien said in a June 8 "open letter" to Phoenix Catholics. "I, however, am the only one who can remove a priest from ministry, and I will do so with the advice of the moderator of the curia and the youth protection advocate."
The agreement "seems to be within the realm of canon law," agreed Mercy Sr. Sharon Euart, "as long as the bishop has the final decision on the status and ministry of the priest." While "the question of the extent of [government] intervention has to be raised when the church is required by the state to establish a particular office," the concerns are minimized when the bishops have already committed themselves to take steps that closely parallel the Phoenix agreement, said Euart, a canonical consultant.
"I don't see any canonical problems with the O'Brien agreement," said another leading canon lawyer. …

TWO PICTURES from a beat-down.
The clock says there is 6:23 left in the second period.
The Flyers are holding a 2-0 lead. They are killing a phantom penalty, a high stick on Erik Gustafsson. The crowd at the Wells Fargo Center is in high dudgeon, which is different than the normal dudgeon in that it is even more profane.
Booing, howling - and here come the Rangers, two-on-one. Benoit Pouliot has the puck on his stick and a clear, clean shot. He fires from 23 feet, according to the score sheet. It is a prime scoring chance, the best of the night.

The No. 19 Louisville Cardinals (10-1, 6-1 AAC) travel to face the Cincinnati Bearcats (9-2, 6-1 AAC) on Thursday, December 5. The winner of this game can win at least a share of the American Athletic Title only if Central Florida loses to SMU on the road this weekend.
The Bearcats had won four straight in this series before falling 31-34 in overtime at Louisville last season. Oddsmakers in Las Vegas have installed Louisville as a 3.5-point favorite at Cincinnati. You can catch this game on ESPN at 7:30 EST Thursday night.
Why Louisville Covers
If not for a blown 28-7 lead at home against UCF, we would be talking about the Cardinals as a possible national title contender. There's no question that this is still one of the most talented teams in the country that returned almost everyone from a team that went to the BCS Sugar Bowl last year and beat Florida. Rarely will you get the Cardinals as this small of a favorite, either. In fact, they have been a double-digit favorite in every game this season up until this point.
Louisville has actually played its best football on the road this season. It is 4-0 away from home, outscoring opponents by an average of 22.3 points per game. The numbers show that this team is one of the best in the land as well. The Cardinals are putting up 35.5 points and 455.0 yards per game to rank 33rd in total offense. They have been even better on the other side of the ball, giving up 11.4 points and 242.7 yards per game to rank 2nd in the country in total defense.
Last year, Louisville really dominated Cincinnati at home, but only won by a final of 34-31. The box score indicates that this game was a bigger blowout than the final score would indicate. The Cardinals outgained the Bearcats 524-353 for the game and forced three turnovers. Tedd Bridgewater had a huge game, throwing for 416 yards and two touchdowns. DeVante Parker was on the receiving end of both of those scores, finishing with four receptions for 120 yards.
The Cardinals are 6-0 against the spread in road games off two or more consecutive unders over the past three seasons. Louisville is 12-3 against the spread in its last 15 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Cardinals are 18-7 against the number in their last 25 road games overall. The favorite is 11-5 against the number in the last 16 meetings in this series. The road team is 7-1 against the spread in the last eight meetings.
Why Cincinnati Covers
The Bearcats have saved their best football of the season for last. They have won six straight games coming in with four of those victories coming by double-digits. They now still have a shot to win the American Athletic with some help from SMU this weekend, which would put them in a BCS Bowl. No matter what Louisville does, it won't be playing in a BCS Bowl because it already lost head-to-head to Central Florida. So the motivational edge has to favor the Bearcats.
Cincinnati boasts one of the best home-field advantages in the entire country. It is a perfect 5-0 straight up and 3-2 against the spread at home this season, outscoring opponents 43.0 to 15.4, or by an average of 27.6 points per game. The Bearscats are putting up 34.2 points and 487.3 yards per game to rank 19th in the country in total offense this season. They are also yielding just 18.5 points and 302.4 yards per game to rank 8th in total defense.
Cincinnati boasts one of the best home-field advantages in the entire country. It is a perfect 5-0 straight up and 3-2 against the spread at home this season, outscoring opponents 43.0 to 15.4, or by an average of 27.6 points per game.
This has really been a one-sided series in recent years. The Bearcats have gone 4-1 straight up and 4-1 against the spread in the last five meetings in this series. Their only loss came last year at Louisville by a final of 31-34 as a 3.5-point underdog in overtime, so they clearly want revenge from that defeat. Plus, Brendon Kay was not playing quarterback for them against Louisville last year. Kay has certainly been a gamer in 2013, completing 70.2 percent of his passes for 2,799 yards with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions, while also rushing for four scores.
The Bearcats are 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 home games. Cincinnati is 4-1 against the number in its last five Thursday games. The Cardinals are 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games overall. Louisville is 0-6 against the number in its last six games following a win. Louisville is 0-6 against the spread in its last six games after allowing less than 20 points in its previous game.

May 25, 2016
MIAMI (AP) -- A tropical depression has formed off the coast of Florida and is expected to develop fairly quickly into the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Tropical Depression One formed Monday and had maximum sustained winds of about 35 mph (55 kph), with higher gusts. It was centered 105 miles (170 kms) east-southeast of Cape Canaveral and was moving southwest at about 2 mph (4 kph).
A tropical-storm watch was in effect Monday night for the east coast of Florida from Fort Pierce northward to just south of Flagler Beach.
The Hurricane Center said gradual strengthening was expected during the next 48 hours and that the depression is forecast to become a tropical storm by Tuesday.

Today, the world is Hill's playing field, with David Richter up at bat. Which is how two years ago Richter found himself standing and surveying a sight that he will never forget. On his first trip to Dubai, this lawyer/executive was stunned by a place that resembled a boomtown during the California Gold Rush — interesting in that, unlike its UAE neighbors, the emirate's economy is not built on oil revenue.
"In every direction as far as you could see, there were construction cranes on the horizon, and there was the feeling that you were witnessing the global future," Richter recalls. "People say that Dubai is the Hong Kong of the 21st century, and I saw that for myself."
Hill International's interest in Dubai came several years before the current rush. "We saw this coming some years ago," says Richter, "but our deepest involvement has been more recent."

I hope these liberals keep their boycott going. The atmosphere at a Chick-Fil-A is a lot more courteous, peaceful, and clean than most other restaurants. Rabid liberals leave a mess wherever they go, as you've seen at Occupy rallies and other liberal protests. So the more they stay away from Chick-Fil-A, the cleaner and more pleasant the dining experience is.

We already know what happens when churchgoers are armed. Back in 2007, there was a shooting at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO. A gunman opened fire and had shot 2 dead before a church security volunteer named Jeanne Assam shot the gunman. The gunman then shot himself dead. She very likely saved lives with this action.

Some of these bullies will end up in a life of crime. If only she could have realized the strengths she had in life, namely being an honor roll student.

This weekend we finally acquired all the presents that we will be shipping out to the fiancé's family and our stepson. I'm so excited about it! I wish I could be there when they open it all up. I desperately want to show it off, so I thought I would do so here.
I'm pretty sure none of you read my blog, but just in case, if you are Jessica, Cassie, Callie or Jackie, STOP READING NOW! Thank you!
The most exciting presents (to me) we are sending out are the handmade jewelry I made for the ladies. Here they are!
Aren't they lovely? I am just thrilled at how they turned out!
- Pearl Earrings with Swarovski Crystals for my mother-in-law: I think this is my absolute favorite of the four. I knew I wanted to make pearl earrings for my mother-in-law, but I wasn't sure of the design. I got some jewelry inspiration from Pinterest before heading to the bead store and came up with this design. I think they look so elegant! Perfect for a mature woman. I didn't know what her favorite color is and have no idea what colors her nicer clothes are. I decided to avoid colors so that she could wear these with any of her outfits.
- Hoops for Gauged Ears and Black Swarovski Crystals for my stepson's mother: I've noticed from some of the ladies I've known with gauged ears that they like to wear hoop earrings through the gauged hole. They miss wearing dangly earrings. So I made these special earwires for gauged ears. I hope they work out good. I really think the beads I picked out fit her personality. Again, avoiding colors also means she can wear these earrings with any outfit.
- Seed Bead Hoops for the older of the younger sister-in-laws: Going to the bead store, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for her. All I knew was it had to be purple. I wasn't getting inspired by any of the beads I was seeing and I wanted each piece to be unique. After picking out everyone else's beads, I decided to make these seed bead hoops. I had planned on making some for myself based on some Pinterest inspiration a long time ago but never got around to it. I really think these turned out perfect for her.
- Swarovski Crystal Four Leaf Clover Earrings for the younger of the younger sister-in-laws: This wasn't my original idea. I hate having a concept in your head that you can't make a reality. She really loves four leaf clovers. Her dream in life is to own an Irish pub. I looked all over the bead store and could not find one four leaf clover charm. I finally asked one of the girls at the counter and they immediately took me to a charm I had already looked at… a three-leaf clover. Not the same! She finally found this Swarovski crystal four-leaf clover. I went with it and I like the results.
As part of my new year's resolution, I plan on posting more jewelry related articles, so stay tuned! I plan on covering how to make ear wires and do the wire wrapped loop, both of which are required to make these earrings. The Celtic themed earring was made using the same concepts from my Wire 1 (part 2) write-up.
To finish these up, I made my own jewelry cards based on this Pinterest Pin. I used old thank you and Christmas cards that I had on hand and cut them down to size. I then used a thumb tack to make holes for the wires. For the gauge earring hoop, I had to slit the cards to the holes so that I could slide them in from the side instead of threading them through. The three on the right actually stand up on their own as I kept the spine and back of the card when I cut them. I really like how they turned out!
That took care of 90% of the in-laws and cost under $30 for materials. It does not include tools and classes I have purchased and attended throughout the year and my time. Since it is a hobby and I would have been doing it any ways, I say that was pretty good savings!
My sister-in laws husband is getting some geek swag from the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), a video game convention that my fiancé and I attend here in Seattle. He is a pretty big video game nerd, so that fits his MO.
My stepson is getting a new Xbox from his grandparents, so we are picking him up a new hard drive. My fiancé bought him a video game through GameFly for $10 using one of his game coupons and taking advantage of one of their sales. It looks brand, spankin' new! Love getting games through GameFly! It really has saved us so much money throughout the years. I got GameFly for my fiancé for his first Christmas with me. My fiancé also owns the game, so they will be able to play it together.
We also renewed his Xbox Live subscription. It is part of our family plan, so it would have re-upped anyways, but we like to point out that this is something we are paying for him.
My fiancé also found this really cute Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog crossover shirt from Teefury.

Blood donors endure chilly wait
The Oklahoma Blood Institute called me to come in because their supply was critical. On Dec. 10, I went to the OBI donation center at NW 50 and Portland, which opens at 10 a.m. Several of us were standing outside at 9:50. It was very cold. One family had small children with them. OBI has a waiting area just inside the door and could have let us in to wait where it was warm.
At exactly 10, the doors were opened. I've been a regular donor since 1981. I'm sad to say that I've witnessed the decline of customer service over the years. The efficiency and friendliness is just not evident as it once was. Donors are the source of their success; OBI staff members need to act like it.

Great style - Strange sizing
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I'm a girl with hips, so I'm used to ordering larger sizes for pants & leggings. I really liked the styling of this pant, so I am disappointed that the fit was poor.
I ordered this pant first in large based on the sizing recommendations. They were definitely too small at the hips & waist and did not allow a comfortable range of motion. They also seemed to be too short for a ski pant. So, I tried XL and they were WAY too big! Not even tightening the velcro straps at the waistband remedied the problem. Just bulky everywhere and too long.

Future In-Laws, Appealing Coworkers, and Lesbians With Interests (?!)
Ima try to keep this snappy. I'm queer. I'm in an open marriage. I live in Utah. I'm only a year into this, so I have wobbly newborn queer legs and I suck at coming out, especially when it comes to the open relationship bit.
SO, there's this girl I work with … we drunkenly confessed crushes on each other one night … my confession in all seriousness and hers potentially in a I'm-totally-straight-but-I-like-your-hair kind of way. I don't know. I would really like to bring it up again and find out more. Is it worth it to possibly ruin a nice work relationship with her and jeopardize my job if she doesn't take it well? Sexual orientation isn't a protected class here (obvs:( ) and I don't know how management would react to my queerness if it got around. Is there a less risky way to go about this?
So many questions. How do I go about bringing up my open relationship? Are there times when it is inappropriate? Like work? I'm tired of all the assumptions that we are straight and monogamous by default, but how do I politely correct them? Should I correct them?
Oh, yikes. As much as I am in favor of you getting your extracurricular partner-sanctioned girl-on-girl groove on, there are just so many potential minefields here. Even if your company has no problem with you being queer — which is a difficult thing to test, aside from coming out at work and seeing whether you still have a job — they may very well have a policy against intra-office dating. And even if they don't, what if you hook up with this girl for a little while and then break up and have to see her at work all the time? Or you confess your love, and she's like "um, wow, no," and then every time your eyes meet over the coffee maker you have to go and hide under your desk for an hour.
I really really hate to say you should stay in the closet, because I always think that coming out is the best thing you can do both in terms of increased queer visibility in the world and in terms of your own personal sanity and heart/vagina, but … I can't in good conscience tell you to pursue a relationship if you're (legitimately, it sounds like) worried it could get you fired. Unless you think the lady you're crushing on is worth losing your job over — and since you're only in the market for some on-the-side fun, she probably isn't — I'm sorry, but I have to advise you to keep it in your pants.
With those cautionary words firmly in mind, though, I'll admit there may be some wiggle room here. Given that you had the chance to get drunk and confess your crush to her, you two must be hanging out away from the office occasionally (right? I mean, you weren't getting faced while on the clock, were you?). So the next time you're at the bar, I think it wouldn't be the world's worst idea to casually let something slip. If you're talking about celebrity crushes, for instance, you might bring up how badly you've got the hots for Zoe Saldana — you might even mention that your husband wouldn't mind if you and Zoe slipped away for a night of torrid, sweaty romance. The trick, if you can manage, is to keep it light and casual while giving her just enough information that she knows the door is open. If she doesn't walk through it, though, it's time to let the matter drop.
With people who aren't your coworkers, I don't think it's ever inappropriate to correct their misconceptions about your marriage or your orientation. You can just matter-of-factly say "Actually, I'm into women too," or "Actually, we're not monogamous" — although you should definitely be prepared to answer some follow-up questions.
For a little over a year I've been dating a guy who is warm, supportive, sweet, open, kind, and so good in the sack it's been kind of a revelation.
He's also bisexual, which I knew before I started dating him and I'm fine about. We even argue about how hot different guys are, which is pretty fun (though I think he likes Taylor Kitsch a little TOO much). And I'm really not the kind of person who wants a vanilla guy anyway.
The thing that's getting to me though is this: is it fair for me to demand a monogamous relationship when I know there are things he wants sexually that I simply can't give him ('cause of not having a penis/being a woman). He has always had open relationships in the past which has allowed him to play both sides, and I feel like I should offer that to him because I want him to be happy and fulfilled. But when I think about him with someone else my heart just curls up and dies. I can't bear the thought of sharing him with anyone, it utterly terrifies me even considering it.
I should say that there is no pressure at all from him for an open relationship. When we talk about it, he says he knows that there is no one who can give him everything he wants, and that he'd rather have me than anyone else, male or female. But still, I feel like I'm denying him something. And when he is so incredibly supportive and open to doing anything I want to do, it feels like I'm being unfair and ungenerous.
How do I reconcile my desire to be as open-minded and supportive to him as he is to me, with my apparent total inability to put aside jealousy and insecurity and allow him to find what he needs outside our relationship? Should I just accept that this is his choice to be with me, even if it might mean he NEVER gets to bang another dude? And why exactly DOES everyone find Taylor Kitsch so hot? Isn't he kind of bland?
I couldn't remember what Taylor Kitsch looked like, so I Googled him, and in the five seconds since I looked at the image results I've forgotten what he looks like again. So, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you: boyfriend is bland, and your dude has kind of boring taste in boys. But, whatever, it takes all kinds, and I'm sure you have some celeb crushes he can't get down with either. I don't think it makes you fundamentally incompatible as a couple.
More importantly, I don't think you being monogamous is incompatible with your boyfriend being bisexual. You've got things all tangled up in your head, sweetheart. You've confused bisexuality with non-monogamy, and non-monogamy with being a cool and laid-back person, so no wonder you're having a hell of a time. But there are plenty of monogamous bisexuals out there, just like there are polyamorous straight people, and folks in open relationships who are nevertheless rife with insecurity and suspicion. Being uninterested in having an open relationship isn't a character flaw — it's just the way you're wired. It doesn't make you "jealous" or "insecure." I mean, maybe you are jealous or insecure, I don't know your life. But a strong preference for your gentleman caller to refrain from fucking other people does not have any bearing on your jealousy/insecurity status.
Your boyfriend, it sounds like, is a bi dude who can take or leave monogamy, but is happy to give up Taylor Kitsch to be with you. It's really no different than if he were a straight dude giving up banging other chicks because you're more important to him — if he's happy with your relationship, there's no reason for you to be worried. Trust him when he says that he doesn't want anyone else.
As far as your concern that you're not giving him everything he wants in the sack: girl, get yourself a strap-on! No, it's not exactly the same (if you ask me it's a vast improvement — they come in all different colors!), but if you're really worried that your boyfriend is wasting away for want of cock, well, goodvibes.com is just a click away.
I'm a 32-year-old queer chick who's in a relationship with a man I will likely marry in the next year or so. My history is this: from ages 18 – 28, I only dated women and trans guys. Then a few years ago, I started dating non-trans men almost exclusively. Having spent my 20s deeply entrenched in dyke culture in NYC, this was a big shift for me, identity-wise and community-wise. A year ago I met my current (non-trans) boyfriend and it was very clear from early on that it was just Right. He gets that I used to be a dyke and now identify as queer. It is Not A Problem.
Now that we're contemplating marriage, though, we're stumped by how to reveal my dyke past & queer identity to his parents. Over the holidays, I started to feel closeted by them not knowing I used to date women. I noticed myself withholding little anecdotes from my past that would have marked me as queer. This did not feel good.
I don't think my past is a big deal, but I'm afraid his parents will think it is. I don't want his parents to be shocked and feel like I/we kept this from them if they find out through, say, a revealing toast at our wedding. Then again, I don't want to make telling them into some big coming out production: "sit down, we have something to tell you." Top 10 conversations I do NOT want to have with my boyfriend's stepmother: "so is this just a phase? are you going to leave my stepson for a woman?"
Maybe I'm just dreading having to come out AGAIN, after doing it over and over throughout my whole life. On some level I'm afraid that telling them will ruin their image of me as the perfect daughter-in-law. I guess I see my past as a deficit when I look at it through the eyes of my 60-something straight, unsuspecting future in-laws. That's some internalized homophobia right there.
Can you help me think about how to approach this, or maybe just offer a new way of looking at it? I'm not sure what to do.
It's so much harder to come out when you're in a hetero relationship, isn't it? You can't just drop the phrase "my girlfriend" or mention your female partner's name and expect everyone to go "oh, okay," and revise their mental file on you accordingly. So what do you disclose, and how much, and do you need to sit them down and talk to them while wearing your The Test Results Came Back face, and, and, and … Okay, chill out.
As is so often the case with me, I think that the easiest way of handling this may also be the best. All those little anecdotes you're stifling because they would give away your queerness? Let 'em out. Mention your ex-girlfriends, your favorite memories from Pride, whatever you've been editing out for fear of being judged. Bring them up just as casually as you would with people who already know about your sordid, lady-lovin' past. If you're really lucky, his parents won't want to make a big deal about it, so they'll wait until you're gone, then ask your dude: "So, when she said 'girlfriend,' did she mean…?" and he'll say "Yep" and they'll go "Oh, okay" and you never have to bother with "coming out" to them at all.
If you're slightly less lucky, they might ask you to explain, which is when you act surprised that they don't already know. "Oh, did I not mention that I sometimes date women? I guess I forgot to tell you because it's so not a big deal." Make it clear that this is not A Huge Revelation, just a new fact they're learning about you, the same as if they didn't know that you played volleyball in high school. Unless they are massively homophobic juiceboxes or just ridiculously socially inept, they should be able to take it in stride. It's part of your past, not your present, and it has basically no bearing on your relationship with them.
Obviously, if they ARE homophobic juiceboxes, this approach will not work, so maybe check with your boyfriend before proceeding? In that eventuality, I guess just avoid the topic for as long as it takes you to convince your dude to Get Rid Of His Parents, Seriously, They Are Revolting.
I wrote this whole letter (under 300 words, natch) full of backstory, then deleted it because the details don't really matter. Here's my question: is it at all possible to find a queer chick who wants to talk about things other than being queer and do things other than queer-themed events? Yes, community is nice, laughing/crying/otherwise emoting over our respective experiences builds trust and shows intimacy and blah blah blah, and meeting someone for the first time at an event sponsored by the local LGBT center makes the whole thing safer and less awkward. But is that really all dykes do and talk about?
I can't speak for anyone else, but I have other interests and characteristics, and we can only get so far into conversation if the starting point is, "omg, you're gay? Like, ME TOO!" when we're sitting next to each other in the community center waiting for But I'm a Cheerleader to start. Talking about the movie brings on a recitation of all the other Films With Lesbians that she's seen, and … well, sometimes I like films without lesbians. Like Harry Potter. But did you know that the woman who plays Petunia Dursley is a lesbian, and the woman who plays Madam Maxine played a lesbian in a scene that was cut from Love, Actually? And by this point my friendly smile has turned into a terrifying rictus as my mind races, trying to figure out a way to escape that doesn't involve climbing over the women on the other side of me, who are deep into discussing whether they like Amy or Emily better.
To wit: whither all the other chicks with actual interests beyond the part of their psyche that likes licking carpet? Surely I'm not the only one … I hope.
I am trying very very hard not to roll my eyes here, but your level of scorn for every lesbian you've ever met in your life is frankly just a little off-putting. Are you sure there's not a teeny bit of confirmation bias going on here? Like you meet a cool dyke, and you start talking, and then as soon as she says anything about lesbian culture you roll your eyes and go "ugh, not another one" and write her off as a friend/source of makeouts? Because it kind of sounds like that's what you're doing, and if that is the case then you need to chill a little.
Off the top of my head, my queer friends and I are likely to talk about: poetry, horror movies, politics, Doctor Who, future travel plans, career plans, books, the ballet, our families, our cats … okay, fine, mostly we just talk about horror movies and Doctor Who, but that other stuff comes up occasionally. I understand some people also talk about sports. Lesbians, in general, are very much like normal human beings in our enthusiasm for a variety of topics and endeavors. So why is everyone you meet stuck on this one track? Probably because you're meeting them at queer-themed events, and the only thing they know you have in common is being homos. It's kind of like you're exclusively meeting women at the dog park, and you're writing to me going "Why are chicks so obsessed with their dogs?!"
Branching out from the safety of common ground can be intimidating when you've just met someone, so cut your potential paramours some slack — you may have to take the lead in bringing up other topics, and it might not happen until you're getting to know each other a little better. Waiting for a movie to start isn't the greatest opportunity for in-depth conversation; if the lesbian cinema aficionado next to you seems cute and smart, maybe you should ask her out for coffee, and ask her about herself. You might find that she has a lot if interesting things to say.
Finally, please never say "licking carpet" again. Carpets are gross and have cat hair in them. Thanks ever so much.

is a potent return to classic, totally electronic Erasure form as last heard on 2005's
Light At The End Of The World
was written and recorded at a private home in the U.S. in Maine which Clarke and Bell--alongside producer Gareth Jones (
Depeche Mode
Nick Cave
)--converted into a recording studio. It was here over a month's time during the fall of 2006, they wrote and recorded ten new songs.
Light At The End Of The World
confirms Erasure's status as one of the U.K.'s most successful songwriting duos of all time. With over 32 top forty consecutive hits to date, this new collection of songs will surely continue Erasure's already outstanding legacy.
Track By Track
Sunday Girl
Vince: This one flowed out very naturally in that hotel room in Maine. We would only write in the afternoon because I've got a new baby [Oscar] and so had to get back home each night. The chord changes and melody seemed to work really well. We didn't have to think about it, and we knew what the chorus would be. It reminds me of
The Kinks
; I can imagine
Ray Davies
singing it in a ridiculously OTT cockney accent. Are the songs influenced by the music hear? Well, my kid's 15 months old so the only 'band' I'm listening to are The Wiggles! I didn't know that it would be the album opener. Where the tracks go on our albums I don't care. Andy does all of that. That would mean I'd have to listen to the whole album from beginning to end and I haven't done that in years!
Andy: It's a
-type song with a big chorus. It's quite old-fashioned, like
Neil Sedaka
's Calendar Girl.
I Could Fall In Love With You
Vince: This is one of the few songs that existed in part before the Maine hotel room writing sessions. Before we started this album, I was really keen for it not to be mid-tempo - I'm having a mid-tempo crisis! Our albums seem to have got slower and slower, so I started searching for classic funk or disco basslines, put some ideas together with chord changes and basslines underneath, and emailed them to Andy for him to sing over the top. The song, like this album, is quite 'up' and uptempo because we're both in good spaces right now. I've had a baby and Andy's in love - I mean, I'm in love as well! But all those things are bound to come out. Not to say, "I've just had a baby" in a song. But in the way that you feel, and the way the track moves along.
Sucker For Love
Vince: This is sort of uptempo electro-gospel. It's a really hard and ridiculous yet cool title. It's our most uptempo track and it sounded very gospelly from the beginning. Myself and Gareth the producer wanted a gospel chorus - very fast and furious. Andy did the vocals - he's great at backing vocals; he always comes up with something completely different. Once we've got a tune, I come up with a rough draft on the computer - a bassline, some chords, a drum pattern - then I'll send it to Andy and he'll sing a more correct vocal. After the Maine writing sessions, we spent four weeks in Falmouth outside Portland in a holiday home, where we set up a studio and got down to the nitty-gritty of finessing the parts and doing the overdubs. We could have gone to a regular studio, but Gareth was already staying there, so it made sense. Besides, you don't need 17-foot speakers anymore.
Storm In A Teacup
Vince: No, it's got nothing to do with the Lynsey De Paul song! I can't remember much about writing the melody, but lyrically it's very brave of Andy because he talks about his mum and her drink problem. I'm very moved that he was brave enough to put that in a song. I would never have done it - not that my mum has a drink problem! But even if she had. Is that level of autobiography rare for Erasure? Yep. That's the most personal song we've ever done. But like I say, mostly it's a very optimistic album, very up and forward-thinking and -looking.
Andy: The song is about my family and my mum's addiction to alcohol and seeing her demise from it; she's poorly all the time. I don't think there will be any point that she stops now because she's gone on for too long. But she's really hardcore and got quite a punk ethic. You always think your mum's trying to teach you something. But you can't take it personally because it's her choice. I felt a bit weird having it on the album - I wanted to shy away from it because I don't want to hurt her by having it on there. But she probably won't even hear it. Am I the open, emotional one in Erasure? Really it's the opposite of what people think. If we go out, Vince is the one who gets trashed really quickly and doesn't care, and I'm the one who makes sure he gets home safely. It's me that won't let go in the end.
Fly Away
Vince: That was a song I really didn't want to do. But Andy was insistent because he loved the tune. I wasn't sure the tune was strong enough. He was right, though: the chorus is uplifting and has a crescendo ending: Andy sings one soaring note over a couple of chords and there's a huge drum sound underneath. It sounds very epic. It's one of only two songs on the album that was pre-planned; the rest were written in that hotel room with a micro-cassette. Andy was in Portland for two weeks on his first trip, then he came over for an extra week. After that initial phase we realized we didn't have enough strong ideas, but we were getting better towards the end, and we wanted the album to all be great, so we did another week's writing. Then we did the recording - I did the programming to get the ideas down, but the bulk was done in four weeks. The post-production and Andy's vocals took about four weeks. In all, the album took three months.
Golden Heart
Vince: I actually don't remember this one! We had so many ideas, and they all had numbers - Andy added the titles later on. I don't get involved in that unless he comes up with something terrible! My megalomania doesn't extend to the titles, I just like having total control of the music. But I can't sing - Andy has to sing the lyrics. So we've found our little niches. But it works the other way: if there's something he doesn't like musically, I'll change it and he'll come up with a really good musical idea. We've been together for 22 years, so it's not like we're embarrassed anymore. We've learned not to be precious. If one of us doesn't like the idea, it's not worth the other person fighting for it. Because Andy will never sing it well, and I'll never do a great arrangement for it.
Andy: My favorite part of any album is doing the vocal arrangements because it makes me feel like a musician. I love the backing vocals here: very '40s.
How My Eyes Adore You
Vince: This is a bit of a midtempo crisis song, really. Daniel Miller [Mute boss] came over to hear the songs and he recommended which bits to leave in and take out. It's a real singalong football crowd song. Do they sing Erasure on the terraces? I've heard of Respect being played in the States during football matches. I don't know if we've got the common touch. I like to think people like our songs because they're simple. People certainly sing them in concerts. On our last tour, at the Hammersmith Odeon, halfway through the show the entire audience sang Respect from end to end. We had to stop while they sang it. It was so nice, so flattering.
Andy: This came out of our second writing session. I really like the melody. But it's not really close to my heart. Darlene isn't anybody specific; it's just made up. The melody reminds me of [
La Isla Bonita
. It's a Taurean trait: picking up bits of songs and using them - there are a few examples on this album. I have to watch it when it comes to words: I get really repetitive because I don't read enough! I've written some really good songs but I would love to write more personal, hurting stuff. But I'm too cowardly. You always feel like your next album is going to be your
Blood On The Tracks
When A Lover Leaves You
Andy: This song is about celebrating the love, even as things change for better and worse, because when you've been in any loving relationship for a long time, you have such a strong bond, it's almost spiritual. A new person may come into your life, and that depth isn't necessarily there but it's really exhilarating and you feel like life's started again.
Glass Angel
Andy: This is a weird one. Vince sent me an early rhythm track for it, before we started the writing sessions. It's a really magical song. It's also quite
Donna Summer
-ish, but it leads on from
Rock Me Gently
on the Erasure album [1995]; it's like Part 2 of that. I love Vince's ambient stuff. Performing with him is like having a holistic massage with sound.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Manager Don Wakamatsu stuck with Ian Snell even though the Seattle pitcher struggled to throw a strike or find a groove as his pitch count climbed.
The Mariners offense made things happen when Snell couldn't. The bullpen did its job, too.
Bill Hall, Franklin Gutierrez and Kenji Johjima each hit two-run homers to help Snell win his fourth straight start, and the Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 7-4 Thursday night.
Johjima's fourth-inning drive gave Seattle some breathing room after the A's had pulled within a run. Seattle went ahead 4-0 after the top of the first.
"Joh's home run was a big one to take that momentum back," Wakamatsu said. "That first inning trying to defend that four-run lead, I didn't think Snell was very good."
The Mariners provided Snell (4-1) with an early cushion he couldn't protect, but he hung tough and showed why the Mariners dealt for him just before the trading deadline.
"I got a little too relaxed," said Snell, who threw 107 pitches in just five innings. "My ball was moving all over the place and I didn't feel like I could throw a strike. Wakamatsu left me in long enough to get a win. I gave my best. That's all I had in the tank tonight."
Ken Griffey Jr. returned to the Seattle lineup after missing six games with inflammation in his left knee. He went hitless in four at-bats with a strikeout and said before the game he is considering playing another season if it's the right move for both sides.
He said afterward his knee came through the game "fine."
The Mariners (71-64) matched a season high by moving seven games over .500, just the second time they've been there all year. Gutierrez also drove in a run in the ninth on a squeeze as Seattle beat the A's for the 13th time in 16 meetings.
David Aardsma pitched the ninth for his 34th save in 38 chances.
Seattle wasted no time jumping on Oakland starter Brett Tomko (3-3), who quickly fell behind against his former club.
Gutierrez homered after Ichiro Suzuki's leadoff single in the first, then Hall connected four batters later following a two-out double by Adrian Beltre.
Kurt Suzuki had a two-run single in the bottom of the first for the A's, who scored an unearned run in the second but little else until Daric Barton's solo home run in the eighth. Oakland is coming off consecutive winning series at home for just the third time this season.
"We just need to get one more big hit here or there to beat them," A's manager Bob Geren said. "Every game we've played them has been good, real close. It's just we fell short on most of them."
The Mariners won their third straight and are approaching the end of a grueling stretch -- this was game No. 30 in a run of 33 in 34 days. Seattle, which brought some momentum into the season's final month, started a 10-game road trip on the heels of a 7-3 homestand that began with a three-game sweep of the A's at Safeco Field from Aug. 24-26.
Tomko lost for the first time since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 17, allowing six runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.
"I fell behind all three guys and then when you're behind guys and don't make quality pitches and get too much of the plate, that's exactly what's going to happen," he said of the homers.
Seattle is 10-3 against the A's and has won the season series for the second time in three years. The Mariners improved to 13-6 in California in 2009.
The Mariners were to take public transportation on the BART train to and from the games for the rest of the series with the Bay Bridge connecting San Francisco and Oakland closed for work all weekend.
Game notes
Oakland on Friday will skip RHP Vin Mazzaro, who has tendinitis in his pitching shoulder. The A's plan to call up RHP Clayton Mortensen from Triple-A Sacramento. Mortensen was acquired from St. Louis as part of the Matt Holliday trade July 24. ... Suzuki, who was intentionally walked in the ninth, is 11 hits short of 200 for the year and six shy of 2,000 for his career. The star leadoff hitter returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing eight games with tightness in his left calf. "Ichiro says he feels fine, I'm not sure about 100 percent," Wakamatsu said. "I talked to him. We'll keep a dialogue going if he needs a day." ... A's backup C Landon Powell, who hit a grand slam Wednesday, is expected to get another start Sunday.

What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
An influential professor of botany at Cambridge, John Stevens Henslow (1796-1861) revived his department and helped develop the current University Botanical Garden for study, teaching and conservation. A mentor to the young Darwin, he proved an educational innovator, initiating the study of individual sciences at Cambridge and practical examinations at the University of London. While rector of Hitcham in Suffolk, he took an interest in local politics, welfare and popular education. This led to the publication in 1860 of this catalogue, which collated the observations and work of amateur botanists. Henslow was the overarching academic and technical consultant while Edmund Skepper is credited with organising and collating the information from the contributors. Catalogued taxonomically, each plant's Latin and common name is given along with its physical description, common locations, rarity or commonality, and periods of flowering or germination. It remains a valuable guide for amateur botanists and naturalists.

Paris: Moments et Souvenirs (ebook)
by Heather Munro, heathermunro
I fell in love with Paris at first sight in 1997. But Paris is an enigmatic lover: Full of mystery and contradictions, she reveals herself in layers, one moment at a time.
Maybe that's why I've returned over and over, each time going a little deeper past Paris' tourist-trap veneer.
The images in this book are the result of my two most recent trips — the first in September, 2010, and the second in March, 2011.
I hope they convey some of the magic of being in Paris at a certain moment in time.

Global We Got Married EP 10 Making Film: Taecyeon Is An "Ahjumma Killer," Gui Gui Gifts Taecyeon's Manager Taiwanese Suncakes
Global We Got Married EP 10 Making Film: Taecyeon, Gui GuiIn "Global We Got Married" Episode 10 "making film," the videos released on the show's official Youtube website showed behind-the-scenes footage of Taecyeon and Gui Gui filming for episode 10 of "Global We Got Married."
While filming for the scenes where Gui Gui and Taecyeon had to prepare for the housewarming party, Gui Gui apparently gifted Taecyeon's manager delicious suncake pastries from Taiwan. Gui Gui wanted to thank Taecyeon's manager for buying slippers for her during their honeymoon in Jeju Island.
While decorating their home in preparation for their housewarming party, Gui Gui, nicknamed the "game addict," was playing around with Taecyeon as the two tried to blow up balloons with helium. Gui Gui proposed that the loser of "rock, papers, scissors" should suffer the punishment of having a balloon popped right next to their ear.

It's the time of year when college basketball takes over all our lives. That's the case today as No. 1 ranked Ohio State takes on rival Michigan. The Wolverines are playing well and have sewn up a bid to the dance this past week. It will be a raucous and heated atmosphere in Indy as they tip off at 1:40. The second particularly notable contest for NE Ohioans is the MAC championship game at the Q. Kent State has had a tremendous season and will face rival Akron for an automatic berth. This has become a classic rivalry game in this tournament at the Q and draws a great crowd as well. Tip is scheduled for 6 PM tonight and the game will be televised on ESPN2. We're one day away from the bracket being set so leave your thoughts here as this afternoon of hoops plays out.

Anais Mitchell On Mountain Stage
Watch The Interview From Backstage At Mountain Stage
Set List
- "Wedding Song"
- "Why We Build the Wall"
- "Our Lady of the Underground"
- "Flowers (Eurydice's Song)"
- "How Long?"
Anais Mitchell had just begun working on Hadestown, her folk-opera adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice, when she made her first appearance on Mountain Stage in 2007. Mitchell teamed up with producer and arranger Michael Chorney to compose a modern version of the myth, set in what Mitchell calls a "post-apocalyptic, American depression-era company town."
Toting a violin, cello and trombone, Mitchell sang the multiple parts herself during this performance that on record are rendered by folk luminaries like Greg Brown, Ani DiFranco, Justin Vernon and Ben Knox Miller of The Low Anthem.
Joining Mitchell on the stage are Chorney (guitar), Robinson Morse (bass), Geza Carr (drums), Adam Moss (viola), Nelson Caldwell (cello) and Eli Chalmer (trombone).
This segment originally aired on January 12, 2011.
