In scores of conversations with lay Catholics, priests, nuns and two bishops during the past three weeks, I've heard a wide range of opinions and analyzes about the state of the church and the reasons dioceses are going through wrenching reorganizations, sometimes closing dozens of parishes and schools because of shrinking resources and a dwindling supply of priests.
But by far the oddest interpretation I came across was posted on the Cleveland Plain Dealer web site by Martin Dybicz, who was listed as a theology teacher at St. Ignatius High School, a Jesuit institution. He predicted another consolidation would have to take place in 25 years and that it would be more severe than the current one in which Cleveland lost about 50 parishes. The reason? Because Catholic leaders "are not proclaiming, nearly enough, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is only fully articulated in the 'Catechism of the Catholic Church.'"
His letter was generally disparaging of Catholic institutions, Catholic leaders, the Catholic experience during the past 40 years and, of course, "Cafeteria Catholics." He also advanced a category that I had not heard before – "Catechism Catholics," who, he wrote, "know that the war has been won – the Kingdom of God is coming. What remains to be seen is how many battles the faithful (to the entire Catechism) must fight, and even lose, for their Lord along the way."
I have heard various claims for the catechism, a compendium of the faith seems a reasonable descriptive, but never that it alone contained the full articulation of the Gospel. One suspects the authors of the catechism might blush at that claim. But Dybicz's letter certainly articulates the anger and the deep division that exists in some corners of the Catholic community and that seem to be stoked by changes, even if the changes are not theologically or doctrinally driven.

The 41-year-old German model wears nothing but a digitally imposed hanger dress which covers her toned figure.
Heidi Klum returned with a new poster for the 13th season of "Project Runway". Heidi poses nude for the artwork of the upcoming season of the Emmy-winning TV show which will premiere on July 24.
In the picture, Heidi actually wears nothing but a pair of nude strap heels. Her toned body is covered by a digitally imposed hanger dress. The judge of "America's Got Talent" is photographed together with Tim Gunn, who wears a checkered suit while glancing at the camera.
Heidi told Us Weekly about the photo session, "It was a little bit embarrassing because I had to shoot it basically without clothes on. I kept on apologizing to Tim having to stare at my booty, and he was like, 'Oh! Good god! I love looking at your booty!' It's funny because he's so polite and I had to run in front of him and he was making faces behind [me]. I was wearing the tiniest little G-string."
"Project Runway" received its 10th Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program on Thursday, July 10. Heidi revealed she's still nervous about the achievement although it's been a decade since the show was premiered. "I've been thinking about it for days," she claimed, "I've been sweating bullets about it! I totally do, because you never know."
Heidi dished on the upcoming season of the Lifetime reality series, "We have great people on-Dita Von Teese was there for an amazing judging session. We did a rain walk so we had the models walk through rain. We built an amazing set where the designers had to create an avant-garde look out of waterproof materials... the most amazing things happened."
She added, "My dream [judge] would be Michelle Obama. I hope she would come one day!"
Last year, the promotion picture of "Project Runaway" was allegedly banned from Los Angeles billboard. The picture featured fully-dressed Heidi and Tim who were surrounded by nude models.

Sure that the code in !(__WIN32__) else branch is unreachable since 1.1.1. But that should not matter as the part added in 1.1.1 for (__WIN32__) at the beginning of the file should be all that is needed for windows. Gilles

Road Trip Passenger Dies & Driver Keeps Going
It was a long, strange road trip for a 62-year-old Macomb County man who traveled halfway across the country with a dead body in the passenger's seat of his van.
According to police, the deceased woman had been at a mental health facility in Aurora, Arizona, where the Clinton Township man and his 92-year-old mother spend their winters.
The 31-year-old woman, who police say had a relationship with the man, joined the pair on the trip back to Michigan last Sunday.
After stopping at a gas station restroom in Flagstaff, the woman apparently died from a prescription drug overdose, according to Warren Police Commissioner Jere Green. He says, instead of stopping, the man continued the 26-hour drive with the dead woman buckled in the passenger's seat, with sunglasses hiding her eyes.
Green says the man was convinced by what he read on the internet that he had 48 hours before the body needed to be tended to in any way.
The case is currently being reviewed by the Macomb County Prosecutor's office to determine possible charges. The man's name has not been released.

I have the PC version of Minecraft and can run it at the highest settings. However, I could never really get into it due to being lonely in it's massive world. A minor complaint I know, but it's a big enough complaint that prevented me from enjoying the game. I also don't have many friends who play it on PC or have any interest in ever playing it. Then comes in the Xbox 360 Edition. Possibly one of the best splitscreen games ever concieved. It has a flaw however that you MUST know. You can only play splitscreen on an HD TV with composite or HDMI cables. Despite that, it's still possible for a future updates to include larger inventory icons to allow splitscreen on standard televisions. Until this problem is solved and you don't own an HD tv I wouldn't recommend buying this for splitscreen or you'll likely be pissed.
My Adventure
Seeing as how I never played the PC version very often I never really had a story to tell on it. The Xbox 360 version and it's excellent splitscreen have made for some great and funny stories. When I started out in my world I instantly looked up. I saw a cliff and knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to build a castle on top of it. To start out I only used dirt but that eventually led to me replacing it with cobblestone. At first I only had two rooms, one for me and one for my friend. We later expanded our rooms and added attics to them which eventually led to just being more rooms in my castle. My brother later joined and he took one of the attics and made himself at home. At first everything was ok, we'd go out during the day and gather supplies and then build onto the castle and craft weapons and tools and set out again. At first it was a fun community.
Then, things turned sour. It all started when me and my friend ventured into a dungeon/cave and found iron ore. Seeing as how it was our first time going into one of them we where very clumsy and ended up falling and he ended up getting killed when he fell into the darkness without torches and a zombie killed him. I fell as well but a little higher up and in a little bit of light. To my surprise there was a ton of iron ore in the stone wall. I mined it out and quickly escaped and headed back to the castle. During this time iron was our most valuable resource and I claimed ownership over all of it obviously because I fought for my life to get it. My friend decided it'd be a good idea while I was out mining to go into my room and steal an iron ingot. I got pretty upset because he didn't even ask and just took it for whatever reason. I also wanted to make a minecart and some track so I could make a way up and down my castle and to lay as a foundation for a fully functioning cart network. So seeing as how that one Iron ingot he stole was all I needed to create my cart I kept telling him how lame it was that he did that. So, this eventually led to him trying to pack up his things and leave my castle. I kind of took offense to this so on his way out I chased him down and killed him with my sword. It was beyond hilarious but I kind of felt bad about it anyway.
This is the kind of stories that can be made with Minecraft and it's now easier than ever with the inclusion of splitscreen. After all the dust settled my brother even left the castle because of the whole ordeal. They both set out and made their own houses and evetually we had a trade system going. Our friend made a farm near a bunch of trees and a sand castle and my brother found an island and made it a deck and a fishing pole and used his fish for trade. So in the end we all had our own thing going and settled our disputes. Eventually we decided we needed more iron ingots for some of the various things you can make with it. We all gathered back at the castle once again and packed a bunch of things together and set out to explore a dungeon the next day.
This is where it got really fun. We brought coal, sticks, wool, various weapons, tools, and wood. We where pretty much set to go as far as we wanted. Water falls underground, zombies moaning and enough Iron to split between all of us and craft whatever we wanted at the time. We even found diamond and gold. We used the diamond to craft a diamond pickaxe and found obsidian when we got near the bottom and due to the lava and water meeting. Near my castle we crafted a portal to the Nether with it and vetured in their for a little bit. I was too scared to go too far into it and we where not supplied well. After it was all said and done we had disputes over land and resources, we built a community and a trade system and it was one of the funnest experiences I have ever had in a game.
Oh and one last thing...Creepers are the scariest enemy in any game ever....I have had to rebuild the front of my castle's stairway multiple times due to creepers chasing me near the entrance. I either run from them or try and fight them with a sword. I usually don't always have a bow with me to easily take them out. Despite the scariness of them they are probably by far my favorite enemy in a video game. Everytime I see one I am not sure how to react and more times then not they end up killing me. Sometimes you'll just be mining and BOOM....your dead
The Verdict
If that true story sounded like a great splitscreening time to you, you might just want to invest in this game as soon as possible. You'll need an HD TV at the moment though which is unfortunate but will hopefully be added later down the line. Other issues with the Xbox 360 version are that the world is smaller than the PC version (1000x1000) which might seem small but is PLENTY of room to do whatever you want and more than enough room for 4-8 players. 4J Studios has said they will likely make the worlds bigger in the future in free updates as well as make this version up to date with the PC version. As of now it's missing pistons and things in the Adventure update. Still though, you really can't go wrong with this game. If you enjoy multiplayer adventures with a really immersive world with day and night cycles, weather effects, and tons of things to do you'd be hard pressed to find a better game on the Xbox 360. It's a game that I can see myself playing all year and introducing more people via splitscreen the wonderful and immersive world of Minecraft. If it means anything, I have played this game for 3 days straight and am not bored one bit of it. I just want to play it more

In general, I agree with the sentiment; let's shift our focus!
...Shift gears from thinking "out of the red and into the black" on Black Friday...
...To focus more on appreciating the awe inspiring things in this amazing universe of ours!
RED SHIFT! BLUE SHIFT! BLACK HOLES!Yeah, I'm in!
Let's make it a Black Hole Friday instead!Artwork Credit: NASA, and M. Weiss (Chandra X -ray Center)
from NASA.gov:
"In this artist's illustration, turbulent winds of gas swirl around a black hole. Some of the gas is spiraling inward toward the black hole, but another part is blown away.
A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.
Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. They are invisible. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently than other stars.
How Big Are Black Holes?
Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or "stuff," in an object."

MLB Fans continue to debate about steroids in baseball on two fronts, who was using and whether players should be allowed to use. As far as Baltimore Orioles fans are concerned, speculation will never end as to whether Brady Anderson was on the juice in 1996 when he belted 50 home runs, and Brian Roberts admitted to trying them earlier in his career. One guy I never thought I'd hear weigh in on the subject is Charlie Sheen. You know the guy who is "winning" with "Tiger Blood" and "Adonis DNA"? Sheen says he used steroids for about 6 to 8 weeks before filming Major League. The Steroids gave took his fastball from 79 MPH to 85 MPH. I always thought the "Wild Thing" might have been on something just never thought that something would be 'roids.

Juvenile law applies to young children and teenagers—usually defined as less than eighteen years old, depending on the state. Minors accused of breaking the law are processed under a juvenile justice system. This system is completely separate from the one used for adults, and the penalties involved are usually far less severe than in the adult system. Juvenile law also carries certain protections that do not apply to adults; for example, names are kept confidential and parents can be present during police questioning. A lawyer who specializes in juvenile law will help minors understand the juvenile justice system and present their defense in juvenile court.

The controversy over the racial makeup of this Sunday's Oscars has consumed the attention of the national media. ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows have done 21 stories on the #OscarsSoWhite issue this year, never once even asking whether the results are a scandal.
An Economist study of the number of minority awards questioned the very premise of the complaints, stating: "our analysis of film casts and awards shows, the number of black actors winning Oscars in this century has been pretty much in line with the size of America's overall black population."
The study showed that blacks represent 12.6 percent of the American population, and black actors have been nominated for 10 percent of Oscars since 2000. Blacks have also received 9 percent of top roles since 2000.
Yet, the networks hyped the controversy, frequently mentioning the "#OscarsSoWhite" hashtag and referring to the "backlash" resulting from "snubs" of minority films and actors.
CBS covered the controversy six times and complained that the promised new members of color added to the academy remained a "small fraction" of the voting board. NBC talked up the diversity issue in five stories; ABC brought it up 10 times. NBC and ABC both touted the Screen Actors Guild Awards where several actors of color were nominated. None of the three networks ever mentioned that the numbers of black nominees in the past few years were roughly proportional to the African-American population.
Network reports reinforced the activist view. "They will have to change the makeup of the academy," predicted NBC Today co-host Al Roker, highlighting difference in award show voters.
"Between the two award shows there's a sizable difference in voters. The SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Awards have four times as many members voting for its nominees."
CBS News Correspondent Mireya Villarreal on CBS Evening News Jan. 18, remarked that the Academy will add 300 new members of color but emphasized this is still a "small fraction of of the 6,000-plus voting body" of the Academy.
CBS reported false numbers for the Academy voting body Jan. 18, on Evening News with Scott Pelley. The network stated that the voting body is 94 percent white male with a median age of 62. The correct numbers are 94 percent white and 77 percent male.
Of the Academy's 6,000-odd voting members, 94 percent are white. However, "Black actors get speaking roles in rough proportion to their percentage of America's population, according to a study of 600 top films from 2007-2013 at the Annenberg Center for Communication and Journalism," reported the Economist.
Hollywood's Second Year of Controversy
2015 host Neil Patrick Harris used his monologue to complain about the racial makeup of the Oscars. "Today we honor Hollywood's best and whitest. Sorry … brightest," he said.
The controversy returned this year, and several prominent actors, writers, and producers said they will boycott the ceremony for the lack of nominations of blacks and other minorities. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith's video saying she will not be attending went viral. Director Spike Lee said he will be at a Nets game with his wife.
"At the Oscars … people of color are always welcomed to give out awards … even entertain. But we are rarely recognized for our artistic accomplishments. Should people of color refrain from participating all together?" Pinkett Smith tweeted.
The New Yorker paid homage to the allegations against the Academy with its Feb. 29, cover, "Privileged Characters," which showed darker Oscar figures held back by a rope as lighter figures are allowed through on the red carpet.
On Jan. 14, Oscar President Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who is black, announced that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences would implement radical reforms to diversify its membership. The reforms include doubling the number of women and minority members by 2020. Perhaps the most striking reform is that voting members must be "active in motion pictures" and renew their voting status every 10 years.
The hastily proposed reforms are not yet in accord with the Academy's bylaws and would mean substantially changing them. Three new governors of color promised by Isaacs would usually be nominated and confirmed by the board and approved by the individual branches of the academy. Isaacs' proposed reforms must pass a governors meeting board vote after next Sunday's Awards ceremony.
CEO Dawn Hudson insisted the changes were "not about political correctness … unless you have the best artists voting on the Academy Awards, you don't have a real reflection of the best of our film culture."
Critics have blamed casting offices and drama schools in addition to the Academy.
"We need a multipronged approach, which involves the studio system, the agency system, the talent representation system," said DeVon Franklin, former senior vp production at Sony's Columbia Pictures, producer and chairman of Franklin Entertainment.
Actress Sasheer Zamata said, " I don't know when this started happening, but some people are using the word diversity to mean 'anyone but white people,'" She emphasized that all races, including whites must be represented and suggested looking for new stories (like Star Trek) that feature people of color.
Other Academy members were unwilling to accept the insinuation that the Academy is racist.
Penelope Ann Miller, known for Carlito's Way and The Artist pushed back against criticism.
"I voted for a number of black performers, and I was sorry they weren't nominated," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "I think when you make race the issue, it can divide people even further, and that's what I worry about," she remarked, adding that excellent performances by white actors like Spotlight's Michael Keaton were overlooked as well.
Jeremy Larner, who won an Oscar for 1972's The Candidate and was a civil rights activist in the 1960s said, "I have voted for many people of color for awards … I happen to think Straight Outta Compton is not a great film for reasons of structure and substance."
"The goal was to snatch a lot of favorable PR, give the appearance of change, and make the protest go away," Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable said of the Academy's promised reforms.
#OscarsSoWhite isn't the only left-wing issue at this year's Oscars. Several movies with liberal agendas were nominated, including Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in Carol, a lesbian love story. Also nominated is the transgender film The Danish Girl for Best Picture and its two stars Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress.

Biography of Kola Boof
When I first accepted that I was an artist of some kind, I promised myself that I would never hide my insecurities...that it would become a part of my work...and because I had spent most of my childhood and early teen years in psychiatric care, it was very important to me that my work possess a multi-dimensional otherworldliness, similar to what had fascinated me as a teen about silent films of the 1920's, about Sylvia Plath's poems, Curtis Mayfield records and Toni Morrison novels.
As I've stated in my autobiography...I believe that my work and that my art, at its core, is a constant struggle for "sincerity". In my mind, "sincerity" is what makes a hit record, a classic novel or a poem live forever, and as a writer and public figure, I endeavored to write about very painful realities--things that have been killing me inside all my life--but I wanted to imbue them with a beauty and with a separate voice. I wanted them to live on their own, independent of me, held up by their own truth. But, of course, as one of those children that the world does not revolve around, I also wanted them serve me. My agenda. At last, I want to be served!
In many ways, I've accomplished that. "Pure Nigger Evil" (not yet published in USA), "Long Train to the Redeeming Sin", "Nile River Woman", "Flesh and the Devil", "The Sexy Part of the Bible" and "Diary of a Lost Girl" and the upcoming "She Wiped It On the Wall" are more than just stories, fables and poems. They are political statements and brisk testimonies; wrenching prayers--and I thank you--those who have acknowledged my actual work and not been so cynical of a person from a different culture and a different mindset. It is a blessing to my life that I am able to be heard and to have this...coloring book.
Though I have no formal education whatsoever, my books are studied now in universities and famous people (sometimes literary people that I admired as a teen) contact me to say how moved they were by my writing or how impressed they are with my skill. Truly this is wonderful. But just as well...there is the ugly side.
The constant publicity of my past with Osama Bin Laden, publicity that was initiated by the British press, and my struggle to create a womanist identity rooted in my Nilotic heritage and black acculturation causes me to be routinely misunderstood and widely smeared and slandered by the American media. What has been a sincere attempt on my part to invent and control my own public image is continuously used against me--to make me appear a crazy and flamboyant figure. I agree with the Nigerian poet Tolulope Ogunlesi when he says that my career reminds him very much of the beginnings of Zora Neale Hurston's...and this is further exemplified by editors at the major American publishing houses demanding---"You're such a brilliant writer...why can't you be more like Z.Z. Packer? Why can't you be more like Zadie Smith?"
But I am Kola Boof. I began as a model and actress. I never went to college as those women did. I was very politically involved with the Sudanese People's Liberation Army and I spent more time on my back (lost to myself) sleeping with men to "to try and be found" than I ever spent in any writer's colonies or writer's workshops. I lived a highly remarkable child and teenhood, one so emphatically traumatic that most people would claim it's "unbelievable". And yet...it's the truth. It's my truth and it's what makes me special and sets me apart from all others.
I call myself "The living woman"...because that's my prayer for my art, my beliefs and my convictions...my love for my people. I want to have unlimited success. I want to be heard and I want to be large enough to instigate and bring about change...real CHANGE...in the lives of black women and girls. No more being called "strong black women", I want to advance my own mantra..."the living woman"...those of us whose loyalty is to our wombs and who endeavor to live our lives for our own paradise and not the ends of all who betrayed us.
I want to set the seeds for the restoration of Africa and to humanize and affirm blackness--by itself, not mixed--but BLACK as in all black put together. I want to see a revolution of authentic blackness born in those who are truly black in color, because for the people with black skin and African hair...the more things have changed, the more they've stayed the same.
My life is about the beautiful babies I had--my two sons. It's about creating art and social discourse that will leave for them the inheritance of a better world. And it's also about my White Arab Egyptian father's dream for the African people. That we would be liberated and loosed in our minds, in our spirits and in our fantasies--none of which can ever happen without respecting and honoring the root of our tree, the womb of our race--the authentic black woman. For as it is said by Africans..."a nation cannot rise above its woman"...then perhaps our kind has been lowered as we have lowered and not redeemed and acknowledged our own motherseed.
If we can appreciate and worhsip the authentic White woman…as this American society insists that we do…then why not appreciate and uphold the authentic Black woman, the African? Or as my Egyptian father called my Blue Black mother…"the goddess flower".
Surely that day is coming and I will be a part of bringing it.

Preview: EverQuest Next Landmark is Minecraft meets next-gen MMO
Earlier today, Sony Online Entertainment unveiled their grand vision for the future of MMOs -- EverQuest Next, a game that offers players a "living world" with the ability to "produce new content alongside the development team." But while EverQuest Next can be thought of as the island on which this vision is housed, EverQuest Next Landmark is the bridge in which you get there.
Let's just get this out of the way, EverQuest Next Landmark is more than just a companion game. I'd actually argue it plays just as pivotal a role, if not more, in helping SOE achieve this vision. That's because Landmark lets you, the player, create the fully destructible world of EQ Next, block-by-block through the voxel-based system. Hence, the comparisons to Minecraft.
In Landmark, you'll enter a world that's inspired by the environments of EQ Next. You'll carve out your plot in this world and begin molding the landscape to your liking, creating the objects within using the same precision scripting tools that SOE uses to construct the EQ Next world.
It gets really compelling when you consider that you'll be "working" alongside the actual EQ Next to incorporate your buildings into the actual world of EQN. SOE will provide "specific guidance" on what they want help building, but this is the internet we're talking about, so I hope they are prepared for a lot of phallic inspired buildings.
"For anyone who has ever thought about becoming a game developer, here is your chance," SOE boasts. "Together we will build extraordinary things!

Deleted. I objected, but will abide by the community's decision. --- Jaz 03:16, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
