|Liturgical Norms
Decree of Promulgation
The celebration of the Holy Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Christian life" (Lumen Gentium, 11). After many years of preparation, the third typical edition of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal was approved in English translation on March 17, 2003. This document provides the framework of our celebration of the Sacred Mysteries and guides us that we may celebrate the Holy Sacrifice in unity and peace. On March 25, 2004 the Holy See issued a further instruction on the Eucharist entitled, Redemptionis Sacramentum (the Sacrament of Redemption) to provide greater clarity to certain matters regarding the Most Holy Eucharist and "to preserve this mystery of faith with reverence, care, devotion and love."
It is with this in mind that I have the joy of promulgating the following liturgical norms for the Diocese of Charlotte. They are outlined here for the benefit of all the Christian faithful of our Diocese and are to be considered normative for the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy on Holy Thursday, March 24, 2005, the beginning of the Triduum of Easter.
Given at the Chancery of the Diocese of Charlotte, March 3, 2005.
The Most Reverend Peter J. Jugis, J.C.D.
Liturgical Norms
General Norms
7. Sacred song is prayer "prayed twice."[6] The people's participation in sacred song should be carefully nurtured and a parish repertory of sacred music should be developed over time. Purely secular lyrics have no place in the sacred liturgy.[7]
10. With the exception of the altar cloth, which should usually remain on the altar at all times, the altar should be as bare as possible before Mass begins. No vessels or books should be on the altar before Mass. If the altar candles block the people's view, they should be placed near, but not on the altar.[10]
11. When altar coverings other than white are used, the uppermost cloth must be white.[11] The corporal, which is the cloth placed immediately beneath the chalice and paten for the celebration of the Mass, should be unfolded and placed on the altar at the Presentation of the Gifts,[12] and should be removed from the altar at the end of the Communion Rite for proper laundering. "Permanent" corporals that remain on the altar from Mass to Mass are not appropriate. It may be necessary to use several corporals on which are placed the extra ciboria and communion cups.
12. Planning for the Mass should include providing for a sufficient number of hosts to be consecrated so that all can receive hosts consecrated during that Mass, underlining the connection between consecration and communion.Generally, reserved hosts should not be brought from the tabernacle unless needed at a particular Mass. [13]
13. The sacred vessels should be made of precious metal; Materials that break easily may not be used; e.g., glass, ceramic, porcelain, & crystal. [14] Materials that are deemed precious to a region, e.g. hardwoods, may be used only if they are lined with precious metal.
14. It is a praiseworthy practice to cover the chalice with a veil, which may be either the color of the day or white. [15]
15. Appropriate public and private devotion to the Eucharist outside Mass should also be encouraged. [16]
16. It is preferable that priests who are present at a Eucharistic Celebration participate as concelebrants. If not, they should participate wearing their proper choir dress or a surplice over a cassock.[17]
17. Proper liturgical vesture should be used for the celebration. For priests: the alb, the stole and the chasuble. For the deacon: the alb, the stole, and the dalmatic. If there are not a sufficient number of chasubles for concelebrants, they may concelebrate with the alb and stole. [18]
Introductory Rites
18. The procession of the priest(s), deacon(s), and servers though the midst of the people is a striking sign of ministry in the midst of God's people and is highly recommended for Masses celebrated on Sundays and Solemnities, as well as other Masses, when practical. The Book of the Gospels may be carried in procession. This is the role of the deacon if he is present; otherwise, The Book of the Gospels may be carried by a lector. The Lectionary is never processed.[19]
19. When the Eucharist is reserved in the sanctuary: [20]
· the priests and ministers genuflect as they enter the sanctuary;
· those carrying incense, the processional cross, or candles simply bow their heads.
· The deacon or lector carrying the Book of the Gospels approaches the altar and places the book on it, without a bow of the head. [21]
20. When the Eucharist is reserved in a place outside the sanctuary:[22]
· the priests and ministers make a profound bow to the altar as they enter the sanctuary[23];
· those carrying incense, the processional cross, or candles simply bow their heads.[24]
· The deacon or lector carrying the Book of the Gospels approaches the altar and places the book on it, without a bow of the head. [25]
21. The Lectionary is placed on the ambo before Mass and is never carried in the entrance procession or in the recessional. [26]
22. The Book of the Gospels may be carried in the entrance procession, slightly elevated, by the deacon, or, in the absence of a deacon, by a lector (reader).[27]
23. The Book of Gospels is placed at the center of the altar until it is carried to the ambo by the deacon, or in his absence, by the priest who will proclaim the gospel.[28]
24. After the Sign of the Cross and the Greeting, the presiding priest, the deacon or a lay minister may briefly introduce the Mass of the day. Only the presiding priest, however, may invite the people to take part in the penitential rite.
25. The presiding priest leads Forms A and B, both of which are followed by the (non-sacramental) absolution and the Kyrie. Neither the priest nor the people should make a sign of the cross at this point. The presiding priest, the deacon, or a cantor may lead Form C, which incorporates the Kyrie.[29]
26. The Rite of Blessing and Sprinkling with Holy Water may replace the Penitential Rite at Sunday Mass. Other introductory rites for special occasions (e.g., the blessing of palms on Passion Sunday, or the blessing of candles on the Presentation) take the place of the Penitential Rite, which is then omitted.
27. Since the Gloria is a hymn, it should ordinarily be sung rather than recited, when required by the rubrics. If it cannot be sung, the Gloria is recited rather than omitted. It may not be replaced by any other hymn of praise.[30]
Liturgy of the Word
28. The readings proclaimed as the Word of God must always be taken from Sacred Scripture, according to the norms laid out in the Lectionary. [31]
29. There should be only one ambo. It is used for the proclamation of the Word of God, including the Scripture readings and Responsorial Psalm, as well as the homily and Prayers of the Faithful. The dignity of the ambo requires that only a minister of the word should go up to it. Announcements, presentations, and testimonials are not to be given from the ambo.[32]
30. The Responsorial Psalm should be sung, especially on Sundays and Solemnities. If it is not sung, it is recited. As the Psalms are the Word of God, they may not be replaced by songs or non-biblical texts.[33]
31. The Gospel Acclamation may be omitted if not sung.[34]
32. If a deacon is present and ministering at Mass, he should proclaim the Gospel. In his absence, a concelebrating priest may proclaim the Gospel; if there is none of the above, the presiding priest proclaims the Gospel.
33. The homily is required on Sundays and holy days of obligation at Masses celebrated with a congregation and is highly desirable at all Masses. The homily is reserved to the ordained;[35] only bishops, priests or deacons may preach the homily at Mass. The presiding priest should normally give the homily, which is properly a reflection on the Scriptural readings or feast of the day, applied to the concrete situation of the community. He may, however, delegate the homily to a deacon or to a concelebrating priest, for a good reason. While laypersons may not deliver the homily, they may translate the homily as it is being delivered by the ordained minister.
34. The Creed is obligatory on Sundays and Solemnities.
35. The proper Profession of Faith on Sundays and Solemnities is the Nicene Creed.[36] During the proclamation of the Nicene Creed, all bow at the words: "by the power of Holy Spirit… and became man"; on the Solemnities of the Annunciation and Nativity of the Lord, all genuflect during these words.
36. The presiding priest invites the congregation to join in the Prayers of the Faithful (General Intercessions), addressing the people directly, with hands folded. The deacon is the proper minister of the petitions; in his absence a reader or another member of the lay faithful may announce the petitions.[37] The series of intentions in the Prayer of the Faithful follows this order:
· For the needs of the Church;
· For public authorities and the salvation of the whole world;
· For those burdened by any kind of difficulty;
· For the local community.[38]
37. The presiding priest concludes the Prayers of the Faithful with a prayer, with his hands extended. [39]
Liturgy of the Eucharist
Preparation of the Gifts
38. The bread and wine to be consecrated, and the offerings for the Church and for the poor are to be brought up in the offertory procession .[40] The priest may be assisted by the deacon or other ministers in receiving the gifts. Only the bread and wine are to be placed by the priest on the altar; the other offerings are to be placed away from the Eucharistic table. Nothing should be placed on the main corporal until it is handed to the priest.[41]
39. The bread used at Mass must be made only from wheat, recently baked and, according to the ancient tradition of the Latin Church, unleavened .[42]
40. The wine used must be "from the fruit of the grape vine," natural and unadulterated, that is, without admixture of extraneous substances .[43]
41. The private prayers of the priest at the Preparation of the Gifts are made only in his name and are to be prayed quietly. [44] Only prayers beginning with "Blessed are you, Lord…" may be said aloud if there is no music at this point. If there is music or singing it should continue and the prayers said inaudibly. The chalice and paten are raised only slightly from the altar during these prayers.
42. The main chalice should be larger and more prominent than any other cups used; they are all prepared at this time. A drop of water is poured into the main chalice alone. At celebrations involving a large number of cups, they should be filled beforehand and brought to the altar at this time.
43. The pouring of the Blood of Christ after the consecration from one vessel to another is to be avoided, "lest anything should happen that would be to the detriment of so great a mystery." Flagons, bowls, and other vessels that are not fully in accord with the established norms should not be used as containers for the Precious Blood.[45]
44. After the presiding priest washes his hands (lavabo),[46]the people are to stand when the presiding priest says "pray brethren" (Orate Fratres). [47]
Eucharistic Prayer
45. In the dioceses of the United States of America, the people should kneel beginning after the singing or recitation of the Holy, Holy ( Sanctus) until after the Amen of the Eucharistic prayer, except when prevented on occasion by reason of health, lack of space, the large number of people present, or another good cause. Those who do not kneel should make a profound bow when the priest genuflects after the consecrations.[48]
46. The words of the Eucharistic Prayer belong to the whole Church and are not to be supplemented or altered by the presiding priest. Only approved Eucharistic prayers may be prayed.[49]
47. Instrumental music is not allowed while the celebrant prays the Eucharistic Prayer.
48. The deacon(s) assisting at Mass kneel from the epiclesis until the priest shows the chalice to the people, just before the Mystery of Faith .[50] This rubric does not apply to deacons unable to kneel for reasons of health or age.
49. At the epiclesis, when appropriate, a server rings a bell as a signal to the faithful. According to local custom, the server also rings the bell as the priest shows the host and then the chalice.[51]
50. The presiding priest does not break the host at the time of the consecration. The fraction rite occurs later in the Mass at the Lamb of God.[52]
51. The words of institution are to be said clearly and distinctly as their meaning demands.
52. At the final doxology ("Through him, with him…"), a deacon stands next to the priest elevating the chalice while the priest elevates the paten with the host. The deacon elevates the chalice to the same height as the priest does the host. If there is no deacon but there is a concelebrating priest, he may elevate the chalice. This elevation is of one paten and one cup. The faithful do not to join in saying or singing the final doxology with the priest.[53]
53. Holding hands during the Our Father is not found in the Order of the Mass.
54. At the Rite of Peace following the Our Father, "it is suitable that each person offer the sign of peace only to those nearby and in a dignified manner."[54]
55. The priest should ordinarily not leave the sanctuary during the sign of peace (except on special occasions, e.g. funerals and then only to greet the family of the deceased) .[55] The gift of peace should not seem to flow from the ordained to the laity.
56. The fraction rite (breaking the bread) is reserved to the priest and deacon. Lay persons do not participate in this rite. The Agnus Dei litany is sung during this rite. It may be repeated until the fraction is completed, but its last petition is always "grant us peace." Other tropes may replace the phrase "Lamb of God" during such repetitions. [56]
57. The fraction takes place before the showing of the host. The host is broken over the paten and should never be broken in such a way that particles of the Eucharist might be scattered or desecrated in any way.
58. The faithful kneel after the Agnus Dei.[57]
59. All concelebrating priests must receive a host consecrated at the same Mass,[58] and must receive the Precious Blood consecrated at the same Mass.[59]
60. Concelebrating priests genuflect before they receive from the chalice at the altar,[60] if they are able to do so.
61. The Communion Song should begin when the presiding priest receives Communion.[61]
62. The priest may be assisted by extraordinary ministers in the distribution of Communion, if other priests or deacons are not available and there is a large number of communicants. Extraordinary ministers in order of preference for such occasions are: duly instituted acolytes, and then others who have been deputed or commissioned for this purpose. In case of necessity, the priest may depute suitable faithful persons for a single occasion from the congregation.[62] Pastorally, extraordinary ministers are commissioned for three years at a time. This allows others to participate-especially in large parishes.[63]
63. Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion should not approach the altar until after the priest receives both species, they may, however, approach the sanctuary before the priest receives Communion .[64] The location for the extraordinary ministers prior to receiving Communion is somewhat determined by the physical structure of the building.
64. Communion ministers, as a rule, should receive under both kinds.
65. Extraordinary ministers are always to receive the vessel containing either species of the Most Holy Eucharist from the hands of the presiding priest, a deacon or another priest. [65]
66. Neither deacons nor extraordinary ministers may ever receive Holy Communion in the manner of a concelebrating priest. The practice of priests and extraordinary ministers waiting to receive Holy Communion until after the distribution of Communion to the congregation is not in accord with liturgical law.[66]
67. If Communion is given under both kinds, the administration of the cup belongs to the deacon(s).[67] If there are several stations for the consecrated hosts and for the Precious Blood, it is acceptable for the deacon(s) to assist the priest(s) in distributing the consecrated hosts.
68. "The Church's custom shows that it is necessary for each person to examine himself at depth, and that anyone who is conscious of grave sin should not celebrate or receive the Body of the Lord without prior sacramental confession, except for grave reason when the possibility of confession is lacking; in this case he will remember that he is bound by the obligation of making an act of perfect contrition, which includes the intention to confess as soon as possible." [68]
69. Catholic ministers licitly administer the Sacraments only to the Catholic faithful, who likewise receive them licitly only from Catholic ministers. Hence, in general non-Catholics are not admitted to Holy Communion in the Catholic Church, and Catholics are not to receive communion in churches that are not Catholic. [69]
70. At Communion, the faithful are not permitted to take the host or the chalice by themselves, and still less to hand them on to one another.
The normative posture for the reception of Holy Communion in the dioceses of the United States is standing. However, communicants should not be denied Holy Communion because they kneel.[70]
71. When receiving Holy Communion, the communicant bows his or her head before the Sacrament as a gesture of reverence and receives the Body of the Lord from the minister. When Holy Communion is received under both kinds, the sign of reverence is also made before receiving the Precious Blood .[71]
72. The consecrated host may be received either on the tongue or in the hand at the discretion of each communicant. [72] When receiving in the hand, the communicant should be guided by the words of St. Cyril of Jerusalem: "When you approach, take care not to do so with your hand stretched out and your fingers open or apart," [73] but rather place one hand as a throne beneath the other, then step to one side and using the lower hand receive the host taking care that nothing is lost.
73. The Communion-plate for the Communion of the faithful should be retained, so as to avoid the danger of the sacred host or some fragment of it falling.[74]
74. If Communion from the chalice is carried out by intinction, each communicant, holding a communion plate under the chin, approaches the priest who holds a vessel with the hosts, a minister standing at his side and holding the chalice. Self-intinction is not permitted and one who receives Communion by intinction may never receive in the hand. The hosts that are used must be consecrated, and it is altogether forbidden to use non-consecrated bread or other matter.[75]
75. As circumstances allow, after communicants have returned to their places, they may kneel or sit while the period of sacred silence after Communion is observed.[76]
76. Care must be taken that whatever may remain of the Blood of Christ after the distribution of Communion is consumed immediately and completely at the altar.[77] This function is normally reserved to the priest and deacon; however, in the Diocese of Charlotte, they may be assisted if they choose by the instituted acolytes or extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion who distributed the chalices. [78]
77. The empty sacred vessels are purified by the priest at the altar or credence table.[79] The deacon purifies at the credence table. If purification is delayed until the dismissal of the people, they should be placed on a corporal and covered. They are to be purified immediately after the dismissal of the people.[80]
78. While it is the norm for priests and/or deacons to perform the required purification of the sacred vessels following Communion, in virtue of the indult granted to the Bishops of the United States, in cases of real necessity extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion may assist with this task. [81] When the assistance of extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion is employed, the purifications should take place at the credence table immediately after Communion or immediately following the dismissal of the people.
79. The Prayer after Communion ends the Communion rite; no announcements or other activities (including second collections) that might distract from this solemn moment should be made or take place until this prayer has been offered. [82] If a layperson offers a reflection (e.g. a missionary appeal), it should be given after this prayer is concluded. Second collections are proper either immediately following the first collection or following the Prayer after Communion.
80. Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion being sent to care for those unable to participate with the community should be sent forth from the celebration by the presiding priest. This emphasizes the connection of the reception of Holy Communion outside of Mass by the sick with the Holy Sacrifice.[83]
Concluding Rite
81. Only the presiding priest and the deacon(s) of the Mass kiss the altar at the end of Mass.
82. When the Eucharist is reserved in the sanctuary:
· the presiding priest and ministers genuflect as they leave the sanctuary;
· those carrying incense, cross, or candles bow their heads.[84]
83. Neither the Book of Gospels nor the Lectionary is carried out in the recessional. [85]

After years of suffrage, the 19th Constitutional Amendment was passed into law on this date 94 years ago, granting women the right to vote. And today, women activists are again becoming involved in changing the political landscapes and issues affecting all of us in our local, state-wide and national communities.
In Kansas, a group of diverse women from across the state have organized a network of their peers, with the intention of education Kansas women, and providing them with the necessary knowledge and ability to get the voters in their respective communities to register and vote for a new governor and secretary of state. The group, known as Women For Kansas, are fighting for change also in a number of issues, including cuts in education, healthcare and its privatization, inequities in taxes, immigration reform and opposition to the new state voter registration law.
This Friday and Saturday, August 29th and 30th, in Wichita, Women For Kansas will be hosting a "Taking Back Kansas" Public Rally and Convention. The Rally, which is open to the public, begins on Friday at A. Price Woodard Park, from 5:30p.m. to 8p.m. It will feature several speakers, entertainment, and food trucks will also be present. On Saturday at 8:00p.m, convention participants will gather at the Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview for a banquet dinner. This event will also feature several speeches by candidates for state offices. They include Paul Davis and Jill Docking, Democratic candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor, respectively; Jean Schodorf, (D) for Secretary of State, and Greg Orman,(I) U.S. Senate candidate. The event emcee will be the former Chair of the Kansas Republican Party, Rochelle Chronister.
Kansans from across the state are invited and encouraged to attend the events and to become involved in the process of change in state government and issues, through participation and activism in the political process. It is when a certain cause, or causes, inspires citizens to act, and gain the necessary momentum and support, that government at all levels, is able to reflect our concerns and respond positively and beneficially to our needs. History has recorded the truth that one person can make a difference, and several can create change.

It's time for me to answer some of your questions…
Any chance at remixing old Circle of Dust stuff?
Nope. I've done that so much already in my career, i need to push forward with new material. I have so many new ideas just sitting in folders waiting… I'd rather not go back to ideas i don't really love anymore. Kinda like dating an ex-girlfriend – I'll start doing it and as it progresses think "ahhh, that's why we broke up to begin with…" The concept however of "recycling" older material has become more and more appealing to me. If any of you downloaded my last Klash-Up, I dropped some Argyle Park in there and it brought back good memories for me. It just sounded so much cooler over a Deadmau5 track. I have pulled together some songs from the Circle of Dust "Disengage" album and some other older stuff as well as many demos I've never finished along the way and will most likely (and have already) drop them into Klash-ups and the like. Please stand by….
Many artists now are apparently considering just releasing singles and EPs online and foregoing the traditional LP album concept…obviously you've done so to some extent already, why even bother with a full length traditional album for Wish Upon a Blackstar?
There is still something to be said for a collected body of work that is in someway cohesive. "Wish Upon a Blackstar" although not a concept album, definitely has a common thread tying it all together. I love and have embraced the idea however of releasing 1-2 songs at a time as they're done. There are a few artists that have been doing this for years and we are doing the same thing with Blue Stahli and other FiXT artists.
I will be releasing "Wish Upon a Blackstar" in "Chapters". Chapters 1 through 4 will each contain 2 songs. (4 chapters X 2 songs = 8 tracks.) The fifth and last chapter will initially only be available on the final physical CD. To tie this all together, there will be an original pieces of art that will be released with each chapter. Then the art from chapter 5 will tie together the other 4 images to create a grander single image.
Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Sure is. How else am I to capture grainy, low frame rate video to share with you guys? I have high hopes for ver 3.0 software, but for now I do what needs to be done to be able to record video.
Ive heard you hate doing shows and touring. is that true? if so, why?
Oh, let me count the ways. I won't elaborate too much, but let's just say touring has never been a pleasant experience for me. Losing lots of $ to complement the loss of morale just kinda beat the shit out of me, and made me consider dropping my Taco Bell employment application off at the nearest TB when i got home. Touring (if i were to do it again) will have to be a whole different animal from here on in – and I think it just might be…
What kind of books do you enjoy reading?
I was a loner as a kid (yeah, that carried over into adulthood…) The only places i really could escape to were in my head, and so I built grand worlds and scenarios in there. (I had a great collection of "rubber monsters" (no, not those kind, perverts.)Dinosaurs, insects, ghouls,and goblins with the everpresent King Kong and Godzilla keeping watch over their respective flocks.) I learned to escape into other worlds and lives through reading and probably learned more about the world by reading about it then actually experiencing it. If i have any sense of vocabulary as an adult, it's only due to a great and patient father and a ton of reading as a kid. The sad truth is that as you "grow up" certain things fall by the wayside due to time constraints and everyday life. One of those things has been reading. I truthfully long to read, but i lack the self control to stop. Once i start reading something that intrigues me, i will find excuses to disappear for hours to finish it. Guess what that means? I don't get work done. Guess what that means? You guys all start following the Lindsey Lohan blog instead bc i'm not putting out any music. Guess what that means? …Actually I'm not sure what that means, but it's probably not good. So it's more of an exercise in self control. (This is the same reason i don't ever play video games. If i started, my career would be over.) I guess the cat's out of the bag now – i'm an intellectual midget -, uh, i mean 'little person.'
If I do make time to read, I'm generally drawn to Sci-fi or fiction based writers (Frank Herbert, Phillip K Dick, Anne Rice) but I'm open to good stories. Feel free to suggest something you've read that you loved and tell me why and I'll start stacking books for that rainy day (or month) that I use to catch up on my reading.

The Figures that Shed Light on U.K. Bank Shortfalls
At last there's a little clarity.
We have known since March that there was a £25 billion ($38.7 billion) capital shortfall hanging over the U.K.'s biggest lenders, but we didn't know for how much each was on the hook.
Well, with perfect timing (in a week when all eyes – in the U.K. at least – are on the banking sector following a wide-ranging report and Bank of England Governonr Mervyn King's indictment of their sad state) the Prudential Regulatory Authority, one of the U.K.'s new regulators, has just shed some light.
The overall figure has been revised up to £27.1 billion, and unsurprisingly Lloyds Banking Group Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays are on the hook for the most.
The figures take into account more prudent valuations for assets, with "a specific focus on 'material vulnerable portfolios' on firms' balance sheets", said the PRA. They also take into account conduct costs, looking at the potential future penalties levied on the banks for poor conduct.
MoneyBeat's simplified some of the PRA's terms, but here's how those figures break down.
Some of the banks have already outlined their plans to cover the new figures for the shortfall, saying they would sell assets and shrink businesses. RBS, which still has big questions hanging over it and whose future is being "urgently" addressed, according to the U.K. treasury chief George Osborne, said it could downsize its investment bank to the point where it was only £400 million short of the PRA's target. It was the first time Barclays acknowledged its deficit.

This question is related to a previous question of mine. More specifically, it results from my attempts to understand the simplest incarnation of a phenomenon mentioned therein.
Put a grading on the elements of the coordinate algebra of $SU(2)$ by setting deg$(\hat{a})$=deg$(\hat{c})=1$, and deg$(\hat{b})$=deg$(\hat{d})=-1$; where $$ \hat{a}\left(\array{a & b \\\ c & d} \right) = a $$ and so on. We can identify the coordinate algebra of $\mathbb{CP}^1 = SU(2,\mathbb{C})/U(1)$, with the elements of degree $0$, $\Omega^{(0,1)}(\mathbb{CP}^1)$ with the elements of degree $2$. Does there exist an element $X$ of $\mathfrak {su}(2)$ (or its enveloping algebra) such that $$ X(f) = \overline{\partial}(f) \in \Omega^{(0,1)}(\mathbb{CP}^1), $$ for all coordinate functions $f$ on $\mathbb{CP}^1$, where $X$ is the canonical action of $\mathfrak {su}(2)$ on the coordinate algebra of $SU(2)$, that is, $$ X(f)(g) = \frac{d}{dt}_{t=0}(f(\exp(-tX)g)). $$ If so, can someone explain in a more general context why so? (Perhaps in the context of spaces of the form $G/T$, where $G$ is a compact Lie group, and $T$ is a maximal torus.)
EDIT: I've been doing some more reading, and it seems that the required element of $\mathfrak{su} (2)$ does exist. Moreover, there exists a formula for extending this to the general $\mathbb{CP}^n$ case, see page 32 of this paper by D'Andrea and Dabrowski. What I still don't see though is why.

Guest Blogger – Rie McGaha
Today I have a guest blogger, Rie McGaha taking over my blog! Welcome, Rie! Tell us about yourself and your book! 😀
When Calen MacLeod begins having dreams of an ethereal beauty who beckons to him, he passes it off as just having an itch he hasn't scratched in a long time. But when he leaves on a journey to find her, following the directions she's given him in his dreams, he begins to doubt his sanity. And when he finds himself high in the Mackinaw Mountains in a secret fortress with unicorns and a pink and white castle, surrounded by women, each one more beautiful than the next, it's a fantasy no man would want to wake up from. But Arianna is the only woman for Calen.
The women of the Fortress have lived in peace, hidden away from the humans who tried to annihilate them all. But now a 500-year-old demon is out to destroy the women's matriarch, Ariella, and he'll stop at nothing to complete his mission. When Calen MacLeod shows up, he throws a wrench into Damon's plans. Never let it be said Damon isn't ready for anything, but when he kidnaps Arianna and takes her to modern day San Francisco, is he ready to meet Calen, who will stop at nothing to save his ladylove?
When I was a little girl I loved to read fairy tales where plain, no status girls wind up being pursued by Prince Charming and living happily ever after. I was so taken by these stories that when I was about seven years old, I used to go to a meadow near our house and sing songs trying to get the woodland creatures to come to me like Cinderella did. My friend Donna, who was a few years older, lived down the dirt road a ways, but we lived in the Trinity Alps and her house was the only one near us, and she had fabulous dress up gowns. We pretended to be everything from Miss Kitty to Sleeping Beauty and danced away the night with our own make believe Prince Charmings.
I suppose I never really outgrew the fairy tale and, although my life was far from a fairy tale, it never kept me from fantasizing or wishing for Prince Charming to whisk me away on his white steed. Of course life has a way of bringing fantasy into reality but somewhere in the back of my mind, I continued to look for Prince Charming. Since he didn't seem to be anywhere on the horizon in real life, I figured I'd bring him from my fantasy life onto paper. I wrote my first fantasy romance in the eighth grade. Pretty mild compared to what I write these days but it whetted my appetite for more.
All through school I wrote and read. Once I discovered my mother's "True Life" magazines, the raciest thing I'd ever read, I discovered things I had never dreamed of and began incorporating those things into my writing. I wrote my first erotic romance at eighteen. Although it was never published, and I blushed at the idea of the things I wrote about, I learned some very useful lessons. Of course, back then anything to do with bedroom activities were considered porn and porn was coming on strong in the 70's.
As I continued to expand my horizons with each passing year, I became more interested in the research than the writing as most young people do, and then a wonderful thing happened – I met Prince Charming. Once kids came along, I went back to writing where I began, with fantasies for my children. The fantasy world can be anything, any time, any place. You can fly on your own abilities, travel through time and space, be the hero or heroine, and live happily ever after. Funny, now that I'm a multi-published author who writes fantasy romance from time to time, I look at my life with Prince Charming, and as hard as I try, nothing I write comes close to my real life fantasy.
She stood on the other side of the fire and watched him sleep. He was more beautiful in person than he was in her dreams. His face was soft in repose, and she walked slowly to him, careful not to make any sound that might wake him. Kneeling beside him, her fingers itched to touch the smooth skin of his face. How she wanted to trace her fingers over those full, kissable lips, to his high cheekbones, along his jaw, and over his brow. Her lips tingled at the thought of pressing them against his.
He slept without a shirt, and the sight of his bare chest caused her breath to catch in her throat. His skin was tanned from the summer sun, and she wanted to touch the golden hair on his chest. To trace a line down his body to where more hair covered his stomach and then disappeared in a trail below the band of his leather breeches.
Wondering what else lay below that line, she wanted to know if the bottom half of him was as beautiful as the top. She hugged her knees tightly to her chest to give her hands something to do, or else she knew she would touch him. And that was not allowed. She'd broken the rules just by being with him now, but she was not actually making contact with the mortal. Not a
word had been spoken between then, she had not reached for him, nor had she wakened him. Oh, she wanted to wake him—to wake him and do much more—but time had run out, and she needed to get back or she would be missed. She sat for a moment longer and when he stirred, she caught her breath. He settled back into sleep, and, impulsively, she softly kissed his brow. Then she was gone.
Rie McGaha was born and raised in northern California along the shores of Humboldt County where her grandmother often took her to dig for clams and watch the whales migrate. Being raised with the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other, gave Rie a deep love for nature. She has resided in the Kiamichi Mountains of SE Oklahoma where she rescues animals. She is the mother of 12 and Nana of 33 (and counting).
She is an author, editor, and reviewer. She has more than a dozen books to her credit, with the other two books of the My Soul To Keep Trilogy being released later this year. You can join Rie, GA Hauser, & Stormy Glenn at Blog Talk Radio, May 14, 2011 at 7 pm CST, followed by a group chat at Erotic Promo. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eroticpromo/

SEATTLE (AP) — Steve Sarkisian's fourth year is beginning at Washington after an offseason where the Huskies underwent a complete makeover of the defensive coaching staff.
The Huskies started fall camp on Monday and while there are plenty of questions about what Washington will look like on defense, they are settled at the most important offensive position with the return of quarterback Keith Price.
Coming off one of the finest seasons in Washington history, Price returns for his junior campaign. Price threw for 3,063 yards and a school record 33 touchdowns last season. His year was capped in the Alamo Bowl when Price threw for 438 yards and accounted for seven touchdowns in the Huskies 67-56 loss to Baylor.

Martin County School District's Citrus Grove Elementary media specialist Lana Barros and media assistant Shawna Hixon are coordinating "Martin Takes a Stand Against Bullying – An Awareness Walk," to take place on Saturday, April 19 at Memorial Park in downtown Stuart. The event is part of the school's "iStand - Bullying Awareness Program."
The School District of Martin County has been vocal and visible on making its stance through a number of activities that are ongoing in the District such as working with community partners in having the renowned speaker Keith Deltano present "Martin Stands Up…Against Bullying!" during National Bullying Prevention Month in October and hosted 15-year-old country music performer Lizzie Sider, who brought her anti-bullying assembly to 13 elementary and middle schools in the District in January.
Bullying is not a desired characteristic trait or activity that should be tolerated by anyone whether as individuals, communities or nations. There is no manipulation, control or abuse over anyone in America that will be tolerated regardless of any personal or group ethnicity background or valued outlook on any issue.
Students, parents, schools, and the community at large are invited to participate. Participants are to meet at Memorial Park at 8:00am for a welcome by Martin County Sheriff William Snyder. The walk will start at 8:15am. Savanna Webber, a member of Martin County High School's OPUS (chorus group) will sing the National Anthem. Various community organizations will provide anti-bullying resources.
The Martin County School District is committed to the prevention of bullying and offers a number of resources – many of which are available on its web site atwww.martinschools.org – to students, parents, and educators.
(Photo on Left: Martin County Sheriff William Snyder, (one of the four law enforcement heads along the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County) is a well-respected law enforcement officer that looks at the 'cause' as well as the 'effect' thoroughly and prudently with a background in Florida state legislature and extensive previous law enforcement experience, Sheriff Snyder knows how to read, write and enforce the law proficiently in the best interest of all.)

I was trying to read the instructions on how to fish, but my hand shook and instead of clicking the down arrow to read more, I closed the explanation. I tried just fishing anyhow, hoping I would figure it out, but nothing worked. I get nibbles on my line but I can't actually figure out how to reel the fish in!
How can I fish? I dont want my family to starve!

Gain-of-function human STAT1 mutations impair IL-17 immunity and underlie chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Journal of Experimental Medicine, 208(8):1635-1648.
|Published Version
View at publisher
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis disease (CMCD) may be caused by autosomal dominant (AD) IL-17F deficiency or autosomal recessive (AR) IL-17RA deficiency. Here, using whole-exome sequencing, we identified heterozygous germline mutations in STAT1 in 47 patients from 20 kindreds with AD CMCD. Previously described heterozygous STAT1 mutant alleles are loss-of-function and cause AD predisposition to mycobacterial disease caused by impaired STAT1-dependent cellular responses to IFN-γ. Other loss-of-function STAT1 alleles cause AR predisposition to intracellular bacterial and viral diseases, caused by impaired STAT1-dependent responses to IFN-α/β, IFN-γ, IFN-λ, and IL-27. In contrast, the 12 AD CMCD-inducing STAT1 mutant alleles described here are gain-of-function and increase STAT1-dependent cellular responses to these cytokines, and to cytokines that predominantly activate STAT3, such as IL-6 and IL-21. All of these mutations affect the coiled-coil domain and impair the nuclear dephosphorylation of activated STAT1, accounting for their gain-of-function and dominance. Stronger cellular responses to the STAT1-dependent IL-17 inhibitors IFN-α/β, IFN-γ, and IL-27, and stronger STAT1 activation in response to the STAT3-dependent IL-17 inducers IL-6 and IL-21, hinder the development of T cells producing IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-22. Gain-of-function STAT1 alleles therefore cause AD CMCD by impairing IL-17 immunity.

Starbucks Coffee Restaurant Review: The mass gourmet coffee culture craze that swept the country in large part has Starbucks to thank, a Seattle sensation that spread like a wildfire. There's a good selection of baked goods --- from eight-grain rolls to donuts --- to go with that latte, espresso, frappuccino or regular cup of Joe. Some locations sell warm food, too. To top it off, the chain is socially conscious --- it purchases sustainable beans. Unfortunately, sometimes it feels as though staffers are doing you a favor by waiting on you.

A couple of days ago I posted an image of the former Annapolis Auto Station on St George Street. When I made this post I mentioned that the building had previously been used as a blacksmith shop and that the owners had gradually become mechanics. As I was digging through some files earlier today, I turned up this view of the same scene. The small building in front of the blacksmith shop was a taxi stand operated by Frank Ritchie. This picture was taken sometime around 1920.
The blacksmith was a key person in any community. In addition to their stereotyped role of shoeing horses and making nails, the blacksmith made or repaired countless items for the farm, fisheries or home. In a society where it was common to repair items rather than tossing them out and buying something new, the blacksmith was indispensable. Sadly, mechanization dealt a blow to blacksmiths. Cars replaced horses and nails were cut by machine. While we still have metal workers, most blacksmiths today are either artists, enthusiasts or working in a museum setting.
These images illustrates the benefits of archival photographs. The top image is the same scene as the image I posted a couple days ago but it is quite different. In the later image the flat roof is extended so that the building is rectangular. The small taxi stand in front has been replaced with a gas station. Without archival images documenting both of these scenes, this information would be lost today. This is especially true since this space is a park and parking lot today. These images also show what sorts of cars were in use in Annapolis Royal.
While I posted the image from the 1950s earlier in the week, I will include it in this post so that comparison between the images is easier.
All for now,

On Thursday night, the moment that the Dutch Hip-Hop community had be waiting for, had finally arrived. Dutch urban radio station Funx, presented its first annual music awards show, in Amsterdam' the Melkweg. A few weeks before the awards show, listeners were given the privilege too select who they thought were the 'best of the best' within the Dutch Hip-Hop scene.
Twenty-seven Dutch artists were selected as contenders for ten different categories. Dutch rapper, Keizer was recognized by the fans with a Funx Music Award, as he won the category "Best MC". Due to other obligations, Keizer wasn't present during the presentation of his award. His colleague Negativ, accepted the award in his behalf.
Maurits Delchot is better known by his stage name Negativ. He is a Dutch rapper, actor and radio broadcaster. Negativ was born in Amsterdam-East and has Suriname roots. He also hosts the MTNL television program "Hotspot," were he presents the latest Hip Hop and R&B music videos. Due to government budget cuts, Hotspot is now broadcasted by AT5.
During the award ceremony, different Dutch artists entertained their fans by giving life performances. One of the live acts that stood out, came from Digitzz and DJ Lady Bee, when they performed "The Jam". Digitzz is a former member of the group Noeveau Riche, but has recently signed a contract with Dutch record label Top Notch.
What sets Digitzz apart from the rest, is that he has chosen too rap in English instead of Dutch. Last year, during an appearance on the popular Dutch current events program "De Wereld Draait Door," Digitzz explained that Snoop Dogg has been a major influence within his development as an artist. This influence can be heard in the smooth tunes and relaxed lyrics that Digitzz and DJ Lady B produce in their hit track "The Jam".
Funx was launched 10-years ago and sees the first annual Funx Music Award Show as a true accomplishment. The Dutch radio station is the first and only station that targets a multicultural audience. A majority of the artists, if not all, thanked Funx for giving them a platform to spread their work when no one else would.
Another big winner at the Funx Music Awards, was Mr. Probz as he won awards for "Best Vocals" and "Best Track". The award for "Best Group" went too Great Minds. Jiggy Djé accepted the award for the group and thanked the fans for all of their support. The "Best Club DJ" award went to the internationally recognized Dutch DJ trio, Yellow Claw. Rap group the Opposites pulled in the "Best Album" award with they're LP "Slapeloze Nachten".
Last year, the Opposites also received a golden record for successfully selling 25,000 copies of their LP. The "Best New Artist" award went to the Rotterdam based rap group Broederliefde. Jayh Jawson was recognized by the fans with a "Best Video" award for his smash hit 'Mooie Dag'. Rapper and R&B artist Ronnie Flex, wasn't recognized for his extraordinary musical talent, but received an award for "Best Style". Like Mr. Probz, Keizer received a second award for "Best Online Presence".

Vagr.com is a dating site created with Klingons in mind, or at least it has that feel. The "Live long and prosper" tag at the bottom of the homepage doesn't hurt that impression, either. But in all seriousness, Vagr is one of the world's most popular free dating sites and for good reason.
The site has thousands of singles personals profiles and lots of features to play around with and best of all, it's 100% free – no assaults for an upgraded membership or pay-to-communicate hurdles. Vagr.com began in 2008 with the mission of providing quality free online dating to the masses and it's been growing in popularity ever since.
Unfortunately, like most other free online dating properties Vagr is plagued by a bit of clutter and noise on the site, and ads of all kinds are rampant. Sometimes it's hard to tell when using the site if you're looking at a feature of Vagr or some kind of paid message from a sponsor, but that phenomenon decreases with time as you familiarize yourself with the site's somewhat clumsy setup.
Profiles at Vagr are pretty simple and feature the standard photo, tagline, and informational questions. Search options on the dating site abound and there is a Wish List section where members can input criteria to look for in a mate, and Vagr.com will send an email if they come across an appropriate match.
Additional fun features include a travel section where members can organize group trips and meet-ups across the country with other singles, a Craigslist-style classifieds section, and several singles dating blogs to read and pose comments to.
Members on the site are pretty active when it comes to communication and there's even a library tab where users can look at past articles and advice columns for online dating guidance – it's called "your magazine" and Vagr allows you to customize the library based on what you like to read.
At any given time there are over 10,000 members active and online at Vagr.com, so it's a great place to poke around and familiarize yourself with online dating if you haven't already. Safety precautions are pretty standard (private email boxes, monitored profiles, etc.) so being careful is a must as it is on any dating site.
If you haven't checked out the goods at Vagr.com, now may be as good a time as any to give 100% free online dating a try.

Michael Muhney fans are still not happy about this actor being fired from "Young and the Restless." They are now bonding together on Twitter to make sure that "Y&R" loses fans, followers, and viewers from letting him go. On Jan. 27, they were tweeting with the hash tag #TeamMuhney and making sure nobody adds #YR to their tweets.
One tweet said, "#teammuhney Please don't use # YR for any of your tweets. They want us to use it. From now on, I'm #GH #TeamMuhney." They are all moving on to tweeting about #GH which means that they are going team "General Hospital." There have been some rumors that Michael Muhney could end up getting cast over there instead, but regardless these fans are boycotting "Y&R."
January 30 will be Michael Muhney's last day on "Young and the Restless." After this, his fans have plans to stop watching, delete their DVR pass, and move on to another show. It doesn't look like he will be coming back no matter how much they threaten to kill the ratings.
Will you still watch "Y&R" when Michael Muhney leaves? Sound off in the comments and please like my Facebook for the latest in entertainment news.

Ever go to a winetasting with a friend? Of course. Ever notice how his or her perception will differ from yours? Not just in whether you like the wine or not, but how the wine actually smells or tastes? He/she may think the wine is very tart while you don't even pucker. He or she may think it's as bitter as tree bark but you find it smooth as silk.
This is because of how we—or at least our sense organs--are built. For a lot of reasons, while we may taste the same beverage as our friend, we don't perceive it the same way. This is because of our individual thresholds for smells and tastes. Some of us can perceive beverage acids at a very low level while others need a lot more of it to notice (or, in a preference context, be bothered by or pleased by) it.
If you've been tasting wines for several decades, an understanding of your sensory parameters may just be luggage you don't want to deal with. But if you are relatively new to the game, you might want to look into just how you are built.
Try measuring your ability to pick up one of the five tastes -- acidity -- in, for our purposes, wine.
Acidity in wine comes primarily from tartaric acid. The level varies depending upon the climate (cold climate grapes retain more acidity than warmer climate ones), the grape itself (Sauvignon blanc and Riesling, for example, are more naturally acidic than, say, Sémillon or Gewürztraminer) and winemaking practices (laws allow for the addition of acids to assure balance in wines).
If you have access to a winemaking supply store and can get some tartaric acid, that would be ideal (try Chiaruggi Hardware on West Taylor or Bev Art on South Western). But a handy lemon or lime will do (I know: that's citric acid; but we're looking at levels of intensity here). The tartaric acid from a store will come in grains, like salt or sugar, which are easily measurable. Put 5 grains in the 2nd glass, 10 in the 3rd and so on. Lemon juice just needs to be squeezed and then measured with an eye dropper.
Have 5 similarly shaped glasses ready for the test. The first glass will contain an unadulterated wine, poured straight from the bottle. The second glass, to its right, will have a small addition of our subject substance. The third glass, to its right, will have twice as much of our substance as the second glass and so on through the next two glasses. Make sure all the amounts of wine in the glasses are the same and that the grains disappear into the wine.
The question is, as you taste from left to right, when do you first notice an increase in the substance? Some folks will notice the increase at glass two, others at glass three and so on. If you notice it right away, in glass two, then your threshold for that substance is very low (that is, you can perceive it at a lower level); conversely, if you don't notice any change in taste until glass 4 or 5 than your threshold is higher.
Realize above all that this doesn't mean much about your ability to enjoy wine; it just means what you are more –or less-- likely to sense in a wine than your friend. It's the same with cheese, beer, sauce, tea or anything you smell or taste.

Now is the momentOctober 24,2013
Now is the moment
I was glad to see your article on the capital Gateway meeting of Oct. 18.
For decades, there has been much discussion and dreaming about the Winooski River and how it could become more of a downtown amenity, source of enjoyment and educational opportunity. Now the moment of truth is upon us.
With inspiration, planning and will, residents and visitors could sit by the river with coffee or even dinner; take long walks; bike; launch boats; fish; watch outdoor performances; dance; enjoy outdoor sculpture; learn about the rivers history and ecology. Speaking of dinner by the river, wouldnt it be excellent to be able to have dinner outdoors in downtown Montpelier without breathing carbon monoxide?
In the 90s, the Conservation Commission held a series of public discussions and made drawings and maps of what such a river environment would look like. Im sure many similar sessions were held before then and since.
Its a tremendous waste and loss of economic and scenic value to use a potentially beautiful and enjoyable river environment mainly for parking. Cars need to go elsewhere. Yes, parking is a problem. But with all the creative and civic-minded people in this community, surely a better solution can be found.
Now we have a large building going up on the Carr Lot. Lets strive to make it what Michael Hoffman proposed at the meeting: a really wonderful concept, designed by one or a group of forward-thinking local architects, with locally sourced materials and a green footprint. Thank you, Michael, for putting that out there.
Yes, lets get beyond the serviceable and mundane in this crucial downtown space, and think creatively. Our small city with a big heart deserves no less.

You like dragons?
You know mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (I'll refer to them as MILCs from now on)? These rather compact cameras pack an image sensor and processing power fit for a DSLR, but do away with the internal mirror and the optical viewfinder without giving up the ability to swap lenses. The look like a compact with a comically oversized lens most of the time.
MILCs used to be something more of an interesting experiment, but there's this strange thing going on with MILCs - they seem to be more popular than ever. Unlike compact point-and-shoot cameras, you can change the lens of the camera, and they almost always utilize only an LCD for display (some come with an electronic viewfinder) and framing.
I still remember when MILCs are slow in auto-focus performance and tracking, but these days, as long as it's not a Canon (ew, EOS M is a disappointment), recent MILCs have hybrid auto-focus systems that utilized both the fast phase-detection and the accurate contrast-detection.
I was gifted a Sony Alpha NEX-5R a few days ago (unexpected), and the camera felt like second nature, very unlike a real, entry-level DSLR, more akin to a point-and-shoot and smartphone camera. It does have a rather sizable touch-screen for me to, well, do things, with the most important thing with it being able to tap to focus and shoot. The camera itself is also much easier on my hands compared to the DSLR I've used in the workshop months ago - I actually managed to hold it for more than 10 minutes without getting fatigued.
Due to the APS-C sensor inside it, I was able to get excellent picture quality all the way up to ISO 3200 (which is also the maximum auto ISO mode will let you go before you opt for manual), and the camera still produces usable - dare I say, respectable results - even at ISO 12800, and even ISO 25600 works in a pinch without having things look like a mess. High ISO performance also means that I can finally get away with very low shutter speeds without compromising on quality - 1/2000 to freeze almost everything, anyone?
The built-in scene modes for night shots are a bit different - for once, I can actually take a night shot well hand-held, partially thanks to optical image stabilization that actually works, partially thanks to its ISO performance, but especially thanks to its software magic. Combining several noisy frames to make one noise-free frame? Mmm, tasty. HDR photography is also something built-in, and with the shutter going rapid-fire, you don't need a tripod for most shots - it's probably the first camera I have that I can get away with just holding it in one hand. It even helps me recompose portraits.
Also, works for self-portraits because the LCD tilts all the way to "towards me", working as an impromptu front-facing camera. I think the LCD screen seems to be something very high-end - unlike most cameras, the screen is very bright, even outdoors, doesn't have colour shifting, doesn't ghost, and doesn't have the "fuzzy camera LCD grid" problem - it's all square pixels, and I like that a lot. Then again, not having an optical viewfinder in something high-end means that the screen better be good. Sometimes I think I'm looking at a high-end smartphone screen instead of a camera screen.
The menu system might be a kludge when it comes to the organization, I got used to it really fast, knowing that the Fn button is all I need. Being able to access aperture, shutter, and full manual modes on the camera comes very useful, and I was able to get nice bokeh with the camera, too.
The videos look like a video game at 1080p/60 FPS, though. Can't go back to 24 FPS of my phone, though, seeing everything coming alive...
What do you think of MILCs? Do you use them? Or do you use a DSLR?

Since it's Oscar sesason, I thought it would be interesting to look at horror movies and the Academy Awards. Horror is probably one of the most overlooked genres for the Academy Awards, but there are some horror movies that have won an Oscar.
1. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931)
Frederic March won for Best Actor for his role as Jekyll and Hyde. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," is the first horror flick to win an Oscar.
2. "Rosemary's Baby" (1968)
Ruth Gordon won for Best Supporting Actress for "Rosemary's Baby."
3. "The Exorcist" (1973)
This movie took the Academy Awards over that year with it's 10 nominations. The film however won two of those, Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay.
4. "Jaws" (1975)
"Jaws," won three Oscars for Best Editing, Best Original Score, and for Best Sound.
5. "The Omen" (1976)
The demonic picture, "The Omen," won for Best Original Sore.
6. "An American Werewolf in London" (1981)
Rick Baker was awarded an Oscar for his work on "An American in Werewolf in London." He was awarded with the Oscar, Best Achievement in Makeup.
7. "Aliens" (1986)
This sci-fi horror flick was nominated for a bunch of Oscars (including Best Actress) and won two of those, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Visual Effects.
8. "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991)
This horror serial killer thriller won five Oscars, Best Picture, Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Actress (Jodie Foster), Best Director, and for Best Adapted Screenplay.
9. "Misery" (1990)
"Misery" another horror thriller won an Oscar for Best Actress, that went to Kathy Bates.
10. "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992)
Coppola's Dracula flick won three Oscars, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effects Editing, and for Best Makeup.
So those are just some horror flicks that won an Oscar. It's an interesting look at the genre and the Academy Awards.

Fake Memoir Fallout: Would You Blow the Whistle on Your Sibling?
The media is abuzz with the spectacular deception of author Margaret Seltzer, who admitted to fabricating a book she sold as a memoir about growing up as a foster child in South Central Los Angeles. Check out the Wall Street Journal and New York Times stories.
In "Love and Consequences," written under the pseudonym Margaret Jones, she writes that she grew up amid violence and poverty and ran drugs for gang members. In fact, Ms. Seltzer lived in a comfortable suburb, attended private school, never ran drugs and wasn't in the foster care system. (This post on Gawker mocks her use of urban slang.) After Penguin published the book and the New York Times ran a story on her, the publisher was tipped off to her lie by none other than Ms. Seltzer's older sister.
"It could have and should have been stopped before now," says her sister, Cyndi Hoffman, in the Times article.
So far the media has reported little about the relationship between the two women, or whether Ms. Hoffman approached Ms. Seltzer before going to the publisher. But it's interesting that of all people, a family member was the one who ratted her out.
I'm curious to hear what Juggle readers might do in a similar situation. Not that many people will have a sibling who makes up a memoir, of course, but would you publicly call out a family member involved in unscrupulous doings — even if it meant ruining his or her reputation and career? Or in your family, does loyalty trump all?

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Lazeric Jones scored a career-high 26 points, but had a potential go-ahead jumper with three seconds remaining blocked by Josh Huestis, lifting Stanford to a 60-59 victory over UCLA in each team's opening Pac-12 game on Thursday night.
Jones' floating runner in the lane was swatted back by Huestis in the final seconds. Anthony Brown grabbed the rolling ball for Stanford (11-2, 1-0) and sprinted up court to seal a win at Maples Pavilion.
UCLA (7-6, 0-1) never led in the second half, but the Bruins did not trail by more than five points after halftime.
Aaron Bright had 16 points and Chasson Randle scored 10 for Stanford, which snapped UCLA's season-long five-game win streak.
The Bruins had won the previous three contests against Stanford and nine of the last 10 in the series.
Stanford raced to an 18-7 lead in the first 11 minutes of the game, before UCLA rallied back by halftime. Trailing 21-12 with fewer than five minutes to play in the opening half, the Bruins used an 11-3 run to reduce Stanford's cushion to 24-23 by halftime.
Trailing 56-51 with 4:47 remaining in the second half, UCLA cut Stanford's margin to 56-55 as Joshua Smith converted one of two free throws and Jones made three of five free throws.
Bright made a pair of free throws to put Stanford ahead, 58-55, before Tyler Lamb made a basket to bring UCLA within 58-57. Bright nailed two more free throws at the 1:24 mark and Lamb answered again with a jump shot with 1:05 remaining.
After Stanford called a timeout with 49 seconds to play, Bright missed a shot near the hoop and UCLA's David Wear grabbed the rebound, giving the Bruins one final chance to win the contest in regulation. Jerime Anderson missed a three-point attempt, and UCLA regained possession on a jump ball with nine seconds left before Jones' final shot attempt was blocked.
UCLA returns to action at California on Saturday, Dec. 31. Game time is 1 p.m. (PT). The contest between UCLA and California will be televised on FS West.

Women's Tennis Falls To Temple, 4-3
April 12, 2003

Ulalume Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
The leaves they were crispèd and sere—
The leaves they were withering and sere; (lines 2-3)
When this poem starts out, it isn't dealing with people or feelings or plot. It's just giving us a look around at the natural world, letting us absorb the landscape. Still, even though we haven't gotten to the action yet, these descriptions are preparing us for it. Dead leaves are a pretty obvious symbol for death, loss, and all that good stuff. By putting us in a late-October mood, Poe prepares us for the terrible things to come.
Quote #2
It was down by the dank tarn of Auber,
In the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir. (lines 8-9)
The lake and the woods almost feel like characters in this poem to us. The speaker brings them up over and over again, and they start to take on a kind of personality. We never meet these ghouls, but we can just imagine them lurking behind these spooky trees. This isn't really a nature poem per se, but the landscape really helps to make it rich and moving.
Quote #3
These were days when my heart was volcanic
As the scoriac rivers that roll—
As the lavas that restlessly roll (lines 13-15)
Honestly, this is our favorite part of the poem. What a great image. The speaker's heart isn't just bubbling with passion – it's exploding, erupting! We don't stop there. This epic simile rolls on and on. We can almost feel the heat from the lava as it rolls down the mountain. By the end, we've got a vivid sense of how strongly the speaker felt back then. Maybe we also feel like we've been on a little side-trip, an expedition to Mt. Yaanek at the North Pole.
