I just read the first eight words of your piece and had to stop and cheer.
You do know that those words will set on edge the teeth of the Marcan Priority Crowd, right? :)
@Not Spartacus,
In fact, I had been considering writing about this matter ... defending that Matthew wrote first (in Aramaic), then Mark (in Greek, though some ancients do hold for Latin), etc.
In the end, I decided that it would require more work that I feel up for right now.
Hopefully some day!
[fyi, a biblical professor at the Jesuit university in Rome very strongly defended the Aramaic Matthew written first, so that is a good sign!]
Dear Father. When you do, I am ready to jump-in with evidence that the Marcan Priority sham derived from protestant ideology specifically in service to the Kulturkamp in Germany which wanted to put Mark first because of the obvious import of Matt 16:18.19
Father, do you know of any orthodox books which treat the history of the New Testament (which book came first, etc.)? I'd like to read more on this, as I have only read about it in a small chapter in the introduction to a book called The Life of Christ, written back in the 50's if I'm not mistaken.
Dom Bernard Orchard devoted a great deal of study to the question of the chronology of the gospels. He eventually concluded that the most likely chronological order was Mt-Lk-Mk-Jn, and that the traditional ordering had to do with the reasons each gospel was written. In short, that Mt was written first for the Church of Jerusalem; then Lk was written at Paul's request for his Churches; and Mk was written as a "bridge" between the two.
It's an interesting theory. You can read more about it here:
Pontifical Biblical Commission:
5. Chronological Order -Whether, with regard to the chronological order of the Gospels, it is lawful to abandon the opinion, supported as it is by the most ancient as well as constant testimony of tradition, which testifies that, after Matthew, who first of all wrote his Gospel in his native language, Mark wrote second and Luke third; or is this opinion to be regarded as opposed to that which asserts that the second and third Gospels were composed before the Greek version of the first Gospel.
Answer: In the negative to both parts.
I have a copy of Dom Orchard's "A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture" and it has a lot of useful information but it does not supplant Lapide's great work
@Tom L and I am not Spartacus,
I have not read Dom Orchard's work - though I have heard good things about it.
I will say that I am suspicious of any claim which upsets the traditional acceptance of the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.
However, as the answer from the PBC indicates (if I understand properly), it could be held that the Greek version of Matthew is later than Mark.
What I would be interested to think more about is the tradition of an ancient (and lost) Latin edition of Mark's Gospel - supposedly composed by Mark himself and (according to some of the ancients) even before he wrote in Greek [personally, I think that the Greek is the original, as does Lapide].
How would this Latin stand in relation to Luke? Or, if the Latin was first, how would the Greek relate to Luke?
These seem to be open questions -- as much as the relation of the Greek Matthew to Mark is still open.
Well, it's always good to see a quote from the PBC in its glory days (and back when it had actual magisterial authority) ... it is a bit sad when we consider the current state of affairs, how the mighty have fallen!
Praise God that there is a renewal underway ... though it will take no little time. +
Dear Father. Through your own work you are helping to restore that which fell into desuetude.
It is to be greatly regretted that Holy Mother Church suffered a lack of self-confidence in the face of an enormous and persistent protestant assault against Tradition and Ecclesiastical tradition at the head of which assault was the General, "Presumed Expertise."
I am all for a restoration of a healthy Catholic Triumphalism but it must begin in each of our own hearts first because the Magisterium seeks friendship and accommodation with it's implacable enemies.
The Counter-Revolution has begun in the Domestic Church of the Catholic Traditionalists but I am wandering far off topic here.
Thank you for all of your great work, Fr. Erlenbush.
Hello Father,
There is one church father in St Epiphanias who says that St. Mark was among the 72 disciples, and that he walked away from our Lord at the teaching on the Eucharist. Only to be reconverted later by St. Peter. I am not sure where he received that from, but it is interesting. I read this in the commentary by Fr. Haydock.
Yes, apparently Origen and Dorotheus thought likewise. Whether any others held this, I do not know.
Interesting that Haydock still keeps the tradition of St. Peter ... very clever!
[still, I'm holding with Lapide on this one]
Also, some think he was John Mark, the nephew of Barnabus and friend of St. Paul ... but this seems at odds with the fact that Mark was with St. Peter at Rome.
Hence, according to Fr. Cornelius a Lapide, it is better to consider Mark and John Mark to be two.
Thanks for the info! +
I would suggest that for a survey of the Synoptic Problem one should read the section in AN INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW TESTAMENT by Raymond E. Brown, SS. This deals with the question of the priorty of Mark or Matthew. Flamen
I would suggest that Fr. Raymond Brown is not to be trusted when it comes to Sacred Scripture.
He is an excellent example of what is wrong with modern "Catholic" biblical exegesis.
Indeed, at the end of his life, he himself admitted of the great limitation of his work because of the inherent problems of the historical-critical method.
Rather than Brown, better to trust the saints -- Fr. Brown very intentionally breaks from the Catholic tradition of biblical study ... you would think that he was the first to have ever read the Bible and that the Fathers, Doctors, and saints were entirely ignorant of the Sacred Books.
[end of story on Fr. Raymond Brown ... no more comments will be posted on his works ... it would be a waste of time, I and would spare us all of that!] +
The last comment in response to something from Flamen seems to imply that the historical-critical method is somehow alien to Catholic biblical exegesis.
For the proper use and setting of that method (and for its authentic value in Catholic exegesis) see Benedict XVI, Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini (2010) at, e.g. nn.32-34.
The problem with many (nearly all) modern exegetes is that they don't realize that the roots of "historical-critical" come from the Dominican school of biblical work done in the scholastic period.
Most certainly, study of language, geography, ancient history, etc. etc etc ... are all very beneficial.
Studying the literal sense is essential. Consideration of the human author, very important.
However, people like Fr. Ray Brown act as though there was no real biblical exegesis before the 1900's (or maybe late 1800's) ... and this is what is wrong with the modern world of "Catholic" Bible study.
Why, reading Ray Brown, you would think that Jerome didn't know either Hebrew or Greek, that he hadn't read the Bible, that he hadn't lived in the Holy Land ... at least, you would come to the conclusion that St. Jerome must not have had anything important to say, since he is completely ignored!
[and I need not even mention the dismissal of the scholastic Doctors]
Let me be clear: If a "scholar" reads the Bible without taking the commentaries of the Church Fathers and Scholastic Doctors as normative (and of equal [if not greater] value as the conclusions of modern exegetes), that "scholar" is no scholar at all ... and he certainly isn't reading the Bible as a Catholic.
Available on the YIMCatholic Bookshelf, The last chapter of Abbe Constant Fouard's book St. Peter and the First Years of Christianity, the last chapter is entitled The Gospel of St. Mark.

A blighted ovum, also called an anembryonic pregnancy or anembryonic gestation, occurs when a gestational sac develops without an embryo — often due to chromosomal abnormalities in the fertilized egg.
A blighted ovum usually occurs in the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before a woman even knows she's pregnant. However, a woman might miss a period and have a positive pregnancy test. This is because the placenta secretes human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a pregnancy hormone. Symptoms of early pregnancy — such as breast tenderness — are possible as well. But when the placenta stops growing and hormone levels decrease, the pregnancy symptoms subside. At this point, minor abdominal cramping and light spotting or bleeding are possible. An ultrasound will show an empty gestational sac.
A blighted ovum eventually results in miscarriage. Some women choose to wait for the miscarriage to happen naturally, while others take medication to trigger the miscarriage. In some cases, a procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C) is used to remove the placental tissues.
Most women who've had a blighted ovum go on to have successful pregnancies. If you experience multiple consecutive miscarriages, you might consider testing to identify any underlying causes.

Appearance: Taking Control During Treatment
Treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can damage a person's skin, hair, and nails. Many of these changes will go away after treatment ends. But such side effects, particularly hair loss, may also damage a person's spirits. Boston-based makeup artist and esthetician David Nicholas offered some of his beauty tips and the insight he has gained after working with cancer patients for more than 20 years.
Cancer Treatments: Getting Rid of Bad Cells as Well as Some Good Ones
Treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, designed to kill rapidly growing cancer cells, may also damage other rapidly growing cells such as hair follicles, skin, and nails. Both treatments can cause changes in a person's skin tone and texture, as well as loss of hair. Chemotherapy drugs may change the texture of a person's fingernails.
Although taking care of how you look while also undergoing treatment for cancer may be the last on a patient's list of things to do, Nicholas believes it is important for a lot of people.
"When you're diagnosed, you're ravaged with ten thousand thoughts and this could be the last thing you think about. But, this is one area that you can take control of. Maybe you feel horrible but you look like yourself and that can allow you to maintain some level of normalcy," Nicholas said.
Dr. Robert Buckman, oncologist and author of What You Really Need To Know About Cancer , believes improving or maintaining physical appearance during cancer treatment can be of psychological benefit for patients.
"First of all, there is absolutely no doubt that the way we appear to the outside world influences the way people respond to us. And that influences the way we feel about ourselves," Buckman said.
He advised, "Don't create a total and false façade, but as you begin to feel better, make yourself look a bit better and by other people's responses to you, you will feel a little better still."
Echoing Nicholas, Buckman said, "And of course, the control aspect is essential. We all, when we're sick, have to try and find something that we can control. At our worst, it may be no more than the remote control for the television set, but that's still something."
Skin Health Tips for Cancer Patients
According to Nicholas, the effects of chemotherapy on a person's skin are "as individual as the person." However, he said some common side effects include "an obvious sallowness in the skin, some blotchiness, gray undertones, and just a general look of illness." Radiation, Nicholas noted, can cause "more of the ruddy, blotchy activity in the skin." The effects of both treatments depend on "the person, the amount of therapy, and the length of treatment."
For people who have skin damage due to any of these treatments, or who are preparing for treatment and want to know what they can do for their skin, Nicholas recommends a few tactics.
"If they know that they're going in for treatment, I would definitely recommend that they seek out a makeup artist professional, someone who deals with more medical conditions," he said. Hospitals may have information on local makeup artist professionals who have experience in dealing with cancer patients.
Nicholas, who has been volunteering his time to cancer patients and others with special skin needs for decades, said many makeup artists volunteer their services to people living with cancer who may not be able to afford the consultations and care.
"A wealthy cancer patient can afford this and can get the best treatment and care on the cosmetic end. For those who can't, there are people who will do it on a volunteer basis. There are organizations all over that assist and help and guide. Social services at a hospital should be able to help you find someone," Nicholas said.
The American Cancer Society sponsors the Look Good, Feel Better program, which is available at many hospitals or local American Cancer Society chapters.
Nicholas recommends that cancer patients see a makeup artist or esthetician prior to starting their treatment, if they can. This way, he said, the professional can discuss the person's current skin-care regime and see what their skin is like when they are not undergoing treatment. Patients can also bring pictures of themselves before they started treatment to their first appointment.
For those who cannot afford or do not have access to a professional makeup artist or esthetician, Nicholas said there are things a person can do at home for fairly little money. In general, he recommends that all people, especially those going through treatments for cancer, develop what he calls "a proper skin regime."
"What's worked for you all along should work now, but you should be faithful and maybe a bit gentler," Nicholas noted. "You might want to do something a bit more calming and put aside anything harsh."
"Harsh" products, according to Nicholas, include those with abrasive ingredients, such as certain scrubs meant to exfoliate the skin. He also recommends staying away from products with alpha hydroxy acids while undergoing cancer treatments. In addition, Nicholas strongly recommends staying out of the sun.
"The proper calming regime for your skin includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer," he said. "This is a simple three-step regime that is going to help maintain skin health without being radical."
Other "must-have" items include "the proper concealment," which Nicholas said can be a foundation, a powder, or a foundation stick, depending on the person's needs.
A professionally-trained makeup artist can work with a patient to determine which products would be best for their skin as well as which colors would work. For those who are not able to meet with a professional, Nicholas advised sticking to neutral and natural shades, such as browns and cremes, rather than using really colorful shades, which are less natural-looking.
"Your blush tones might change depending on changes in your color. With shadows, stick to more neutral shades. Neutrals look more natural. To create the illusion of depth and natural tones, natural shades of eye shadow are preferable," Nicholas said.
As an extra precaution, Nicholas said cancer patients can tell their doctor what skin products they are using or make a list of the ingredients in those products and show the list to their doctor to make sure they are healthy for their skin.
Buckman agreed that it is essential for patients undergoing radiation to tell their radiation oncologist what they are putting on their skin. "From the medical point of view," he said, "the only important thing is if you are having radiotherapy and you're putting local skin treatments on an area of skin that is having radiotherapy. Make sure you tell your radiation oncologist."
Nail Care
To care for fingernails, which may change texture during treatment, Nicholas recommends seeing a nail technician if possible. He stressed not doing anything drastic, but, rather, keeping the routine simple and easy to maintain.
"If the nails are not as strong as before or if they become brittle or have other problems, I would definitely seek out someone within that industry. Make sure it's a nail technician – someone who truly knows nail health," he said. Nail technicians can be found at many salons or beauty parlors.
For those who cannot visit a nail technician, it is a good idea to keep nails fairly shorter and well shaped, keep the cuticles well trimmed, and the hands moisturized. A clear coat of nail polish, applied regularly, helps to keep nails strong.
Countering Hair Loss
Hair loss, which is a side effect of chemotherapy and radiation to the head, can be upsetting for a cancer patient. However, a person with hair loss has options - hair replacements (commonly known as wigs), scarves, and turbans. And there is always the option of using nothing.
Hair Replacements
There are three types of hair replacements. These include wigs made of human hair, those made of a combination of human hair and synthetic material, and synthetic hair replacements. Each has its own benefits and disadvantages.
Human hair wigs, Nicholas said, are the most natural looking. They are also the most expensive and require the most maintenance. "With human hair wigs, you have to wash them and dry them and really care for them," he noted, adding that the additional care that goes into these wigs may be too much for someone going through treatment.
"I would not advise these for cancer patients unless you have the money and are really looking for authenticity. Typically, the wigs for cancer patients are going to be temporary because your hair is going to grow back after treatment. My theory is, 'Why invest the money when it's a temporary situation?'" Nicholas said. In some cases, such as radiation to the head, hair loss may be permanent.
He continued, "Synthetics are the cheapest. The problem is that they look artificial and the sheen can be unnatural, but synthetics have come a long way. They are affordable and manageable. They hold their shape and style forever."
Nicholas said that synthetic wigs can be found for as little as $30. In addition, they require very little maintenance.
The ideal wig, according to Nicholas, is the blend of human and synthetic hair. "The blend is the best because the human aspect gives it the realism in quality, while the synthetic aspect will allow it to hold its style without too much care," he said.
Just as Nicholas recommends patients see a makeup artist before they begin treatment, he suggests they visit a wig specialist before they lose their hair. Commonly, hospitals will provide referrals for cancer patients.
"Go in before you lose your hair," he said. "Or, at least bring a photograph or a sample of your hair. This way they can match up the color and texture and then take that sample to find a good match. Most people want their hair to look like what it did before they lost it."
He continued, "It's still best to do it before you lose your hair so that way, when your hair does fall out, you don't have to leave your home feeling vulnerable. Again, you're in control." Seeing a wig specialist prior to treatment also gives the patient a chance to try a variety of wigs on and not feel rushed to make a decision. In addition, there is more time to adjust to the wig.
For those who want to change their hairstyle completely, Nicholas believes hair loss can also be an opportunity. "I would suggest that patient treat this (hair loss) as lightly as possible. Maybe you often wanted to know what you'd look like as a red head or a brunette. Invest in two or three wigs if you can. Maybe you've wanted to see what you look like with long hair or short hair. Here's your chance."
A wig specialist will also be able to teach a patient about wig caps. Wig caps are made of sensitive material that protects the scalp. They may also help keep a wig in place.
Scarves and Turbans
"The scalp can get very sensitive and sometimes a wig can be painful to wear," Nicholas noted. "Remember, there are hats and turbans and scarves these days. The scarf has made a major fashion comeback."
Cancer patients can ask their nurses or other healthcare team members if they have information on how to tie scarves or where to buy stylish hats. A makeup artist or wig specialist may also provide advice on scarf tying.
Choosing to Go Bare
Some people with cancer may choose to wear nothing at all when they lose their hair. For these patients, Nicholas recommends extra care of the exposed scalp. "You wouldn't shampoo it. I would suggest that you use the cleanser you use on your face. If there is some remaining hair but it's thin, shampoo those areas with a mild shampoo that doesn't irritate," he said.
Eyebrow Care
Total or partial hair loss may also occur in the eyebrow and eyelash area. Nicholas suggests seeking the help of a professional makeup artist or esthetician to create the look of natural eyebrows and lashes.
"In the lash and brow area, I would say it's really ideal to get instructions," Nicholas said. "This is a technique. It's not something where you can walk up to any makeup counter and say, 'I have no eyebrows. Can you help me?'"
Nicholas' technique for applying eyebrows for someone who has none is to alternate the use of powders and pencils. He has created a series of eyebrow stencils to make the process easier. The stencils are available on his website.
"The eyebrows seem to be a big concern for a lot of people," he said, noting that a visit to a makeup artist or esthetician before treatment is ideal so the professional can see the original eyebrows.
Looking and Feeling Your Best
Nicholas believes cancer patients can benefit from taking all the control they can. He said, "Medically you might not have too much control. But, taking on this concern may actually make you feel like you have hold of an issue. If you tend to feel worse because of your appearance, it may help you even more. I've seen patients who look better through their treatments than they ever have."
The American Cancer Society offers a "Look Good Feel Better" program in many areas. These helpful workshops teach you how to use cosmetics, scarves, and wigs. Call your local ACS office for more information.

In medieval times, Eleanor of Aquitaine broke the mold for women, living life on her own terms, ultimately becoming queen of France and England.
Born in 1122 into the ruling family of the Duchy of Aquitaine, Eleanor quickly learns the art of diplomacy and power brokering. She marries the young Prince Louis, and becomes Queen of France while still a teenager. She accompanies her husband's ill-fated Second Crusade to win back the Holy Land, but returns demanding a divorce, a bold move for a medieval woman. Her second marriage to the Duke of Normandy leads to her coronation as Queen of England in 1154. Contrary to her reign in France, she learns to wield power at the English court, and forges strong alliances to establish a lasting dynasty.

International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM)
- Submission Document: Download
Full Submission1. Overview The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) is a collaborative of 21 of the largest mining and metals companies in the world. We also link 32 affiliated industry associations through which we can potentially reach an additional 1,500 companies. ICMM was created in the lead up to Rio + 10 as a catalyst for improving environmental and social performance for its members, thus enhancing mining and metals? contribution to sustainable development. ICMM seeks to create value for shareholders while simultaneously creating value for host communities and countries. The purpose of this submission is to address the issue of mining and metals in the green economy. We argue that mining and metals are fundamental to sustainable development in the green economy ? both through the mining and refining processes and through innovative uses. Mining and metals are critical to society ? today and in the future. Their contribution to the Millennium Development Goals is but one indication of this indispensable role. To achieve this end, implications must be carefully managed and specific steps must be taken by all concerned to ensure an equitable distribution of costs, benefits, risks and responsibilities. This can be done. We believe that it is in fully considering all aspects of this distribution - throughout the life cycles and complex value chains that we are tied to ? that mining and metals? full contribution can be understood and realized. This realization is at the heart of the green economy. 2. Proposed text for the Rio+20 zero draft Mining and metals in a green economy Mining of minerals and production of metals are fundamental to sustainable development in the green economy ? through the contribution of the industry itself and through innovative uses of the metals and minerals that are produced. As with any human activity, there are significant social, environmental and economic implications ? positive and negative ? at each step along the value chain. These can be managed effectively and efficiently to provide a foundation for environmentally and socially responsible economic development which is sustainable and which contributes to meeting the Millennium Development Goals agreed to in 2000. A key success factor is ensuring that the benefits, costs, risks and responsibilities ? local, regional, national and international ? are all recognized, effectively managed and equitably distributed using a time horizon that spans the full project and product life cycles. This is only possible through public policies, instruments, and action that are designed and implemented to: (1) ensure that the interests and values of host communities and countries and project operators are considered; and (2) facilitate collaboration and partnerships between the many stakeholders important to resolving the complex issues that arise ? no single party can deliver sustainable outcomes working in isolation. Important interests include governments, intergovernmental organisations, mining and metals companies (junior to major), investors, labour, service providers and associations, civil society groups, public institutions, mining affected communities, Indigenous peoples and their organizations, customers, end users, suppliers and academia. A second key success factor is the effective and efficient use of natural resources and the materials derived from them throughout their lifecycles ? in a way that maximizes their contribution to sustainable development over the long term. This will require careful development and implementation of integrated energy and materials management policy frameworks. 3. Mining and metals in a green economy Mining and metals and sustainable development Mining and metals lie at the very foundation of society. Their use permeates all aspects of life and it is for this reason that the 2002 Plan of Implementation of the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development recognized that ?Mining, minerals and metals are important to the economic and social development of many countries. Minerals are essential for modern living?. Over the last two decades the mining and metals industry has been particularly active in innovative, sustainability-related policies and practices because: ? the potential implications ? both positive and negative ? of mining activities and the minerals and metals that result are significant, for people, for their economies for the environment; ? many interests are touched by mining and metals; ? the role of many of these interests in decision-making is growing (e.g., communities, consumers and indigenous people); ? the nature of contemporary communications systems has brought the often dramatic nature of mining operations into the public eye; ? industry, governments, civil society organizations, and the public, in general, have taken great interest in ensuring that mining and its products make a net positive contribution over the long term; and ? the importance of minerals and metals to meeting society?s needs. The above factors also underscore the importance of communicating the full life cycle sustainable consumption and production processes to the general public. Without this understanding, the linkage between everyday uses of products, their origins, and the true costs of bringing them from that origin to use, is lost. The Activities of Mining and metals Production The nature of mining and metal production activities sets them apart from all other human activities. Mines are situated where natural geological deposits dictate. There is little to no choice in location. Conditions and resulting mine design (technical, social, environmental) will vary dramatically between sites. Because of the hugely varying nature of ores, the processing technologies required to make these materials available for use will also vary from site to site. The mine project life cycle comprises a series of steps including exploration, design and construction, operation, closure and post closure. This life cycle varies in length from a few to many decades, sometimes stretching to centuries. Thus, the connection to people and their communities reaches across generations and the relationships developed between mines and their host communities are long-term. Each phase of the mine project life cycle described above brings different environmental, economic and social challenges and opportunities. Sometimes, the national economic benefits can seem out of proportion relative to local level benefits where the immediate disruptions are most likely to be felt. The full spectrum of implications must be carefully managed and all of the costs, benefits, risks and responsibilities shared in an equitable manner. Poor management can bring serious social disruption, economic decline and environmental degradation. Effective management of extractive resources requires long time horizons and a need for multiple interests to be involved in the governance and development of natural resources. However, managed effectively and efficiently, the opportunity to contribute to societal development is significant. The mining industry often serves both as a foundation and as a catalyst for economic and social development. It is often the first to make significant inward investment in low income countries, placing it in a position to catalyze a positive contribution at a critical stage in the host nation?s economic and social development. Working in partnership, mining and metals operations can spark local economic activity through other service oriented businesses and industries. Nurtured effectively, these can strengthen and diversify, leading to benefits that exist long after the original mining activities cease. In resource rich parts of the world and with effective systems of private and public governance in place, mining and metals production can provide a significant boost to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Products and innovative uses Mined ores and minerals require processing into a usable form. The intrinsic properties of the resulting minerals and metals (for example, electrical conductivity, recyclability, and durability) are indispensable for meeting essential societal needs in an efficient way. There are three fundamental categories of materials in the world: metals and minerals; fibre-based from bio-mass; and synthetics from petroleum products. Of these, only metals and minerals have a proven capacity for continuous re-cycling (though we are far from achieving optimum efficiency in this matter). This recycling capacity and the energy savings that it represents are powerful technical reasons why metals and minerals have a key role to play in the green economy. Much of the ?green economy? concept is based on a quest for greater efficiencies in energy and resource production and use. A key is the development of alternative energy sources. Many metals are crucial to innovations in the development of this technology (e.g. the use of platinum in automotive catalytic converters, or metallurgical coal in wind turbines or copper for more efficient electrical motors). Most innovations in these fields are only possible with the use of metals. Two Decades of Progress in the Mining and Metals Industry Since the 1992 Earth Summit, practices in the mining and metals industry have evolved significantly. The creation of ICMM as a change agent specifically tasked with strengthening environmental and social performance and enhancing mining and metals? contribution to sustainable development is in itself a significant indicator. The evolution of SD reporting in the industry provides another indicator. Prior to the 1980s, no companies reported out on non-economic performance indicators. In the mid-1980s, state-of-environment reporting; in the 1990s corporate sustainability reporting followed. ICMM?s sustainable development principles were approved in 2003; a Metal Mining Sector Supplement (MMSS) was jointly developed with the Gobal Reporting Initiative during 2005 - 2009. ICMM members reported publically for the first time in 2009. Now, over 100 mining and metals companies are annually reporting following the MMSS. Starting with the early treatment of environmental and health and safety topics, they now include such issues as equity, social justice and human rights. This evolution marks a step change not only in reporting and assurance, but also in the commitment to transparency and accountability, a commitment that is underlined by ICMM?s early and strong support for and engagement with the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative. The following initiatives all reflect mining?s commitment to engage actively and openly in addressing many of today?s most pressing sustainable development-related issues. It is unlikely that many of these would have occurred in the past. ? good practice for addressing mining and Biodiversity (with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, 2006), ? good practice for materials stewardship (2006) ? metals environmental risk assessment guidance (MERAG, 2007) ? health risk assessment guidelines for metals (HERAG, 2007) ? integrated treatment for addressing mine closure (2008) ? managing HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria (with the World Health Organization in 2008) ? effective community development (with the World Bank, 2009) ? effective health impact assessment (2010) ? intense engagement with John Ruggie as Special Representative to the UN Secretary General on Business and Human Rights through to his final report published in 2010 ? ICMM?s publication of guidance on building effective relationships with indigenous people (2010) ? International Network for Acid Prevention (INAP) published its Global Acid Rock Drainage (GARD) Guide in 2010 ? Initiation of ICMM?s climate change program, publication of its principled approach to developing climate change policy ? establishing a formula for avoiding the resource curse through building effective partnerships for development (2005 - 2011) 4. Further Input to Rio + 20 Rio +20 offers an exciting opportunity for new forms of collaboration, particularly between the private sector and multilateral organizations like the United Nations. Expectations have been set that the private sector will be the largest funding source for concrete actions to achieve sustainable development. If this is to be achieved, effective mechanism to include the private sector in policy discussions as a full partner must be established. To date, that has not happened. We are not able to comment at this time on such important topics as: (1) concrete desired outcomes of Rio + 20 and the structure of the Outcome Document; (2) a specific framework for action, renewed SD Goals; (3) closing the implementation gap; and (4) specific implementation tools. We believe that these should be designed collaboratively through the Rio + 20 process and we look forward to playing our part in doing so over the next eight months and beyond Appendix 1: The International Council on Mining and Metals Overview ICMM is a collaborative of 21 companies that together reflect about one-third of the formal mining industry. We also serve as an umbrella for some 32 affiliated industry associations through which we can significantly increase our reach to other companies across the industry. Our member companies have about 800 operations in over 65 countries and employ about 800,000 of 2.5 million in the formal mining sector. Vision ICMM?s vision is one of leading companies working together and with others to strengthen the contribution of mining and metals to sustainable development. The clear implication of this vision is to create value for shareholders while simultaneously creating value for host communities and countries. We serve as a change agent to catalyze improved environmental and social performance for its members, strengthening mining and metals? contribution to sustainable development. Origins ICMM was created in the lead up to the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development. A decade earlier, at the time of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, the mining and metals industry was in the earliest stages of applying sustainable development ideas. A predecessor organization to ICMM ? the International Council on Metals and the Environment (ICME) ? had been created in 1991 in response to the rise of contemporary environmental concerns and as a vehicle for the mining and metals industry to participate in the expanding international discussion about environmental issues. The second half of the 1990s saw a precipitous drop in commodity prices while public concern over practices in the mining industry reached an unprecedented high. Late in the 1990s, a small group of mining industry leaders initiated an innovative ?Global Mining Initiative (GMI)? to review issues facing the industry and develop an action plan for aligning mining and metals industry with the newly emerging ideas of sustainable development. At the core of this initiative was an unprecedented multi-stakeholder international public debate about how mining and metals could contribute better to the transition to a more sustainable future. The Mining, Minerals, and Sustainable Development (MMSD) project not only identified the challenges but also identified the roles that each of the major stakeholder groups should play.? Running from 2000 through 2002 and led by the London-based NGO, the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), MMSD involved some 50,000 people across the world from all parts of society. ICMM (administratively born of the earlier ICME) was established in 2001 as the delivery mechanism for the action plan that was generated through MMSD. The work allowed the industry to make an active and well informed contribution to the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development. The fact of ICMM?s existence may represent in itself the most significant single indicator of change in mining, metals and sustainability during the last 20 year period.

Of course, no problem. & I probably should answer your question & not talk about something this discussion didn't ask lol. So I'll go with uhm Hustlin I guess.
Don't be so close-minded. Just because you enjoy Lupe doesn't mean you can't listen to Ross. Lupe did a track with Wayne, Trae, Bun B. Guess Lupe can't appreciate his own music now huh? Lol, idiots. Anyways Khumisho, Rick Ross still is mad wack. Reasoning is, I (in my personal opinion) can't respect him for his little facade & the fact I don't like what he raps about. That's not a universal reason but it's my own.
lol this guy's crazy. how can someone who thinks rick ross is a good rapper fully appreciate what Lupe Fiasco is bringing to the table.. it just doesn't seem possible to me. This guy is clearly not beaming..... also please just listen to Lupe's version of BMF for a taste of some realness. the title's alone show how beyond rick ross Lupe is.. rick ross's BMF= blowing money fast... Lupe's BMF= BUILDING MINDS FASTER!! come on now!!!!
rickross.. the man used to work at a prison facility.. hears of a man called "freeway ricky" who was a famous druglord in 305, figures he wants to be him and starts rapping ignorant stuff.. its something like that right? oh yeah wears fake lv shades

Gretchen Mol
"I see everything while I'm driving around, and I say, 'Oh, that's coming out. I remember I auditioned for that and I didn't get it.'" -Gretchen Mol
Gretchen Mol first burst onto the movie scene amid the hype of 1998's Rounders. She's stayed visible on stage and in movies like Celebrity, Cradle Will Rock and The Notorious Bettie Page.
Imagine our surprise when we saw Gretchen Mol get a whole new sexy look in the title role in The Notorious Bettie Page. Wearing a black wig with bangs, garters, a pointy bra, and not much else, Gretchen became the incarnation of the famous 1950s pin-up. We wonder what Gretchen's husband has to say about that, but the lucky guy would probably just gloat.
Gretchen shot to fame thanks to the hype surrounding the movie Rounders and a cover story in Vanity Fair, but then fell off the radar. As a result, many people might recognize Gretchen Mol's name (it's certainly unique) without remembering just what she is famous for. But her profile may be on the upswing once more: She recently had a prominent retro fashion shoot for The New York Times Magazine, which predicted Gretchen's comeback thanks to The Notorious Bettie Page.
Gretchen Mol BiographyGretchen Mol was born on November 8, 1972, in Deep River, Connecticut. Gretchen's father, a school principal, and her mother, an artist, divorced when she was young. Gretchen grew up in a creative household with her mother and older brother, Jim, who aspired to be a film director; therefore, she was often the subject of her mother's photography and her brother's Super 8 videos.
Although Gretchen had a regular public-school education, she was already leaning toward performance as a career. She studied musical theater, sang in her school chorus and attended dance classes. Gretchen moved to New York after graduating from high school; she attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and performed on stage. She still had to take on odd jobs to get by, but one such job led to her big break. While she was working as a coat-check girl at a showbiz restaurant in 1996, an agent discovered her and got her work in a Coke commercial and on the TV sitcom Spin City.

Gretchen made her feature-film debut in Spike Lee's Girl 6 (1996) in a supporting role as a phone-sex operator. Small parts in films such as The Funeral (1996), Donnie Brasco (1997) and The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997) followed. When she was cast to play the "girlfriend" role again -- this time opposite Matt Damon in Rounders (1998) -- Gretchen became famous overnight. She was profiled in numerous magazine articles and was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair, which proclaimed her Hollywood's latest "it" girl. However, when Rounders proved a disappointment, the hype disappeared as quickly as it had come.
Nevertheless, Gretchen stayed on the A-list for a while afterward. Also in 1998, she starred with Jude Law in Music from Another Room and appeared as part of the ensemble cast in Woody Allen's Celebrity. 1999 saw Gretchen take a role in another Allen project, Sweet and Lowdown, play actress Marion Davies in Tim Robbins' Cradle Will Rock, and appear with Ray Liotta and Joseph Fiennes in Forever Mine.

Although fewer projects were coming Gretchen's way, she refused to give up simply because she'd been cast off by Hollywood's publicity machine. After small parts in Rules of Attraction (2000) and Get Carter (2000), Gretchen turned to television. She appeared in made-for-TV movies like Picnic (2000), her brother Jim's Freshening Up (2002) and The Magnificent Ambersons (2002), a cable-TV remake of Orson Welles' second film.
That same year, Gretchen starred in the short-lived TV series Girls Club. She also starred in the play The Shape of Things and reprised her role in the 2003 movie version.
In 2004, Gretchen married writer-director Tod "Kip" Williams and appeared in Heavy Put-Away. In 2005, however, Gretchen's career took an upswing; she accepted the sexy title role in The Notorious Bettie Page, which was well received at the Toronto Film Festival. Furthermore, she was cast in the film Puccini for Beginners (2006) and the TV movie The Valley of Light (2006).

I bought the dark brown version for myself. I thought it was overpriced but I really was tired of my prescription pads getting all torn up in my pockets and bags.
I could not be happier with the product. It is beautiful. The leather is gorgeous and soft and supple. I don't mind paying for quality. It is not always easy to tell what you will get when you buy online. This exceeded my expectations. It is worth every penny. Buy one for yourself or a loved one and get it monogramed. I am confident you will be pleased.

More than any other musician, Jimi Hendrix realized the fullest range of sound that could be obtained from an amplified instrument. His boundless drive, technical ability and creative application of such effects as wah-wah and distortion forever transformed the sound of rock and roll. Hendrix helped usher in the age of psychedelia with his 1967 debut, Are You Experienced, and the impact of his brief but meteoric career on popular music continues to be felt. With such an incredible catalog of work, it's impossible to overstate the impact of the 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The Rock Hall selected 10 songs that we feel are essential listening. What songs would be on your list?
"The Wind Cries Mary" (Are You Experienced, 1967)
"Hey Joe" (Are you Experienced, 1967)
"Red House" (Are You Experienced, 1967)
"Little Wing" (Axis: Bold As Love, 1967)
"Castles Made of Sand" (Axis: Bold As Love, 1967)
"If 6 was 9" (Axis: Bold As Love, 1967)
"All Along The Watchtower" (Electric Ladyland, 1969)
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" (Electric Ladyland, 1969)
"Crosstown Traffic" (Electric Ladyland, 1969)
"Machine Gun" (Band ...
Born in Birmingham, England, on December 3, 1948, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne started his carreer as a musician in the late 60s, as he, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward banded together, seeking to escape the trappings of factory life in their shared hometown. The foursome began to take shape as a blues band – influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin and Cream – calling themselves Earth Blues Company (later shortened to Earth). Osbourne channeled his love of soul music (particularly Sam and Dave) to his duties as frontman, but the group took a tectonic shift after Osbourne penned a song about Butler's encounter with a sinister spectre, calling the song "Black Sabbath." The band eventually took Black Sabbath as their name – and the title of their 1970 debut album. The group would go on to release such heavy metal classics as Paranoid, Master of Reality, Black Sabbath, Vol. 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, effectively defining the heavy metal genre and making Osbourne the voice of it. Osbourne's delivery was melodic and well-pitched, and he never resorted to the sort of histrionic screaming that became a hallmark of metal's lesser lights.

See the LATEST Elvis Presley exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: "Presley's career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music."
As far as his stature as a cultural icon, which continues to grow even in death, writer Lester Bangs said it best: "I can guarantee you one thing - we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis."
Here's 10 essential Elvis Presley songs. Presley built arguably the most impressive catalog of recordings in rock history, so it was understandably difficult narrowing the list down to 10 essential tracks. Let us know what songs would be on your list.
Released in the summer of 1954, "That's All Right" was Presley's first commercial single and a fairly faithful version of "That's All Right, Mama," the uptempo blues number originally recorded by Arthur "Big Boy ...
Many women found a new voice and musical identity during the punk-rock explosion of the 70s. The anti-establishment philosophy of the punk rock movement was the perfect fit for those female musicians who still felt like outsiders in the male-dominated music industry. Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth said, "I think women are natural anarchists, because you're always operating in a male framework." Patti Smith paved the way at legendary punk venue CBGB in New York City with her fusion of experimental poetry and garage rock. British female punk rockers, such as the Slits, Raincoats, Siouxsie and the Banshees and X-Ray Spex responded to working-class discontent and racial division in Britain. Across the Atlantic, in the United States, musicians including Deborah Harry of Blondie, Tina Weymouth of Talking Heads and Poison Ivy of the Cramps added new sounds and ideas to the punk rock formula. "That was the beauty of the punk thing: [sexual] discrimination didn't exist in that scene," once noted Chrissie Hynde. Here the Rock Hall presents Women Who Rock: 10 Essential Punk Songs.
Patti Smith was dubbed the "godmother of punk," a moniker with merit. Smith's debut single was "Hey ...
Kurt Cobain was born on February 20, 1967, in Aberdeen, Washington. The songwriter/guitarist emerged from the nascent grunge movement of the early 80s – an alternative sub genre that incorporated elements of indie, punk, hardcore and heavy metal – to become the reluctant "voice of a generation."
As the frontman for Nirvana, Cobain's esoteric lyrics and ability to craft indelible hooks with a uniquely metallic resonance fueled the band. Backed by the core of Krist Novoselic's steady bass and the thundering percussion of Dave Grohl, Cobain's songs almost single-handedly changed not only the musical landscape of the 1990s, but also the cultural landscape.
Nirvana led a charge that unseated the hedonistic values, flamboyant acts and slick production of hair metal at the top of the rock throne and replaced it with less scripted, more dynamic arrangements, introspective lyrics and more universally identifiable, laid-back style – including a flannel-clad fashion prerogative that was soon adopted from coast to coast, seen everywhere from dive bars to haute couture. Riding on the strength of the anthemic "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Nevermind ousted Michael Jackson's Dangerous at the top of the charts. One studio album, In Utero, followed before Cobain was found ...
The Red Hot Chili Peppers merged the sounds and sensibilities of punk, funk and hip-hop to become an iconic and hugely popular group. Their music and lifestyles reflect the Southern California milieu in which they were born. They have been a band given to extremes, from thrashy, funky noise and personal excess to sunnier music and healthier living.
They formed in Los Angeles in 1983 as a foursome with Anthony Kiedis, Michael "Flea" Balzary, Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons. The last two left before the recording of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' self-titled 1984 debut and were replaced by drummer Cliff Martinez and guitarist Jack Sherman. Slovak returned for Freaky Styley (produced by George Clinton), and Irons rejoined for 1987's The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. After Slovak's 1988 death by heroin overdose, guitarist John Frusciante was recruited, and drummer Chad Smith replaced Irons.
This was the lineup that recorded the classic albums Mother's Milk (1989), Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), Californication (1999), By the Way (2002) and Stadium Arcadium (2006). Frusciante took a hiatus from 1993-1997 and left for good in 2009, replaced by Josh Klinghoffer, who'd been the band's auxiliary tour guitarist. The ...
The Small Faces' career occurred in two distinct stages that saw a partial realignment in personnel and pronounced shift in style. They began as the Small Faces, a band of mod rockers who embraced soul and psychedelia in the Sixties. Then they became the Faces – though their first release was credited to the "Small Faces" – a rollicking band of roots rockers who took the Seventies by storm. The change occurred in late 1969, when Steve Marriott left the Faces to form Humble Pie and was replaced by Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood.
With the British Invasion in full swing, the Small Faces formed in 1965. Much like the Who, they were a band of sharp-dressed, soul music-loving mods. Marriott's electrifying voice lent its energy to a string of high-energy singles. Their turn to psychedelia resulted in the hit "Itchycoo Park" and the concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake.
The Faces played a rowdy, disheveled brand of rock that could make a large arena seem like a corner bar. With Stewart's raspy vocals and the loose yet muscular playing of Wood, keyboardist Ian McLagan, bassist and vocalist Ronnie Lane and drummer Kenny Jones, they rivaled the Rolling Stones ...
Taking influences from hardcore and hip hop, the Beastie Boys mixed and mashed musical styles to deliver infectious grooves and wickedly funny lyrics. Like fellow New Yorkers Run-D.M.C., they disregarded the color line dividing rock and rap in the Eighties. The roots of the Beastie Boys date back to 1981, with the definitive trio configuration of ADROCK (Adam Horovitz), MCA (Adam Yauch) and Mike D (Michael Diamond) coalescing at mid-decade. After a series of 12-inch records, the Beastie Boys brashly announced themselves to the world with the full-length Licensed to Ill (1986). While it typecast the Beastie Boys as beer-swilling party animals, the group exploded any notions of one-dimensionality with its ambitious followup, Paul's Boutique (1989). On Check Your Head (1992) and Ill Communication (1994), the Beastie Boys – who are capable instrumentalists – performed most of the music while integrating an array of samples, beats and witty wordplay into an ever-intriguing sonic smorgasbord.
Subsequently, the Beastie Boys have issued three full-length albums of words and music – Hello Nasty (1998), To the 5 Boroughs (2004) and Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (2011) – along with a few EPs and 2007's all-instrumental The Mix-Up. With each release, the Beastie Boys ...
