Catholic Church
The Catholic Church also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the world's largest Christian church. Led by the Pope, it defines its mission as spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, administering the sacraments and exercising charity. The Catholic Church is among the oldest institutions in the world and has played a prominent role in the history of Western civilisation. It teaches that it is the one true church founded by Jesus Christ, that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles and that the Pope is the successor to Saint Peter. Catholic doctrine maintains that the Catholic Church is the original and true Church and is infallible when it dogmatically teaches a doctrine of faith or morals. Catholic worship is centred on the Eucharist, in which the Church teaches that the sacramental bread and wine are supernaturally transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ. The Church holds the Blessed Virgin Mary in special regard. Catholic beliefs concerning Mary include her Immaculate Conception and bodily Assumption at the end of her earthly life.

- The Catholic Church is an institution I am bound to hold divine — but for unbelievers a proof of its divinity might be found in the fact that no merely human institution conducted with such knavish imbecility would have lasted a fortnight.
- Hilaire Belloc, remark to William Temple, quoted in Robert Speaight, The Life of Hilaire Belloc (1957). London: Hollis and Carter, p. 383
- Some persons think us too severe and censorious when we call the Roman pontiff Antichrist. But those who are of this opinion do not consider that they bring the same charge of presumption against Paul himself, after whom we speak and whose language we adopt... I shall briefly show that (Paul's words in II Thess. 2) are not capable of any other interpretation than that which applies them to the Papacy."
- John Calvin, Institutes
- We must know and be out of all doubt, that the Pope hath but a devilish Synagogue, and that all his Clergy is but filth & stench, all these varlets that have cast aside the Church of God, are but vermin. Although the Pope, who is Antichrist, be set in God's sanctuary, (as we have seen before [2 Thes. 2.4]) yet notwithstanding, he is not worthy to be taken and accounted for a minister of the Church, nor all his mates.
- John Calvin Sermon on 1 Timothy, ch. 3. The 22 Sermon upon the second Chapter Sermons on Timothy and Titus (16th-17th century facsimile editions), p. 265. pdf images
- However, nobody can be surprised that the priests, the bishops, and the popes of Rome are sunk into such a bottomless abyss of infamy, when we remember that they are nothing else than the successors of the priests of Bacchus and Jupiter. For not only have they inherited their powers, but they have even kept their very robes and mantles on their shoulders, and their caps on their heads. Like the priests of Bacchus, the priests of the Pope are bound never to marry, by the impious and godless law of celibacy. For every one knows that the priests of Bacchus were, as the priests of Rome, celibates. But, like the priests of the Pope, the priests of Bacchus, to console themselves for the restraints of celibacy, had invented auricular confession. Through the secret confidences of the confessional, the priests of the old idols, as well as those of the newly-invented wafer gods, knew who were strong and weak among their penitents, and under the veil of the sacred mysteries, during the night celebration of their diabolical mysteries, they knew to whom they should address themselves, and make their vows of celibacy an easy yoke.
- Charles Chiniquy, The Priest, the Woman, and the Confessional
- How could so many reputable and responsible churchmen have lent their support, even if only passively, to the perpetration of such crimes as genocide? What fever seized so many millions of German Christians, both Evangelical [Lutheran] and Catholic, in those few short years of Nazi tyranny?
- John S. Conway, in his book The Nazi Persecution of the Churches 1933-1945 (1968)
- For the majority of English people there are only two religions, Roman Catholic, which is wrong, and the rest, which don't matter.
- Duff Cooper, Old Men Forget (1953). London: Rupert Hart-Davis, p. 128
- After his victory at the Milvian Bridge, faithful to his promise, Constantine favors the church from which he has received support. Catholic Christianity becomes the state religion and an exchange takes place: the church is invested with political power, and it invests the emperor with religious power. We have here the same perversion, for how can Jesus manifest himself in the power of domination and constraint? We have to say here very forcefully that we see here the perversion of revelation by participation in politics, by the seeking of power. The church lets itself be seduced, invaded, dominated by the ease with which it can now spread the gospel by force (another force than that of God) and use its influence to make the state, too, Christian. It is great acquiescence to the temptation Jesus himself resisted, for when Satan offers to give him all the kingdoms of the earth, Jesus refuses, but the church accepts.
- Jacques Ellul, The Subversion of Christianity (1982), G. Bromiley, trans. (1986), p. 124
- I say that politics is the most important of the civil activities and has its own field of action, which is not that of religion. Political institutions are secular by definition and operate in independent spheres. All my predecessors have said the same thing, for many years at least, albeit with different accents. I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I'm here.
- Pope Francis, interviewed in "How the Church will change" by Eugenio Scalfari in La Repubblica (1 October 2013), as translated from Italian to English by Kathryn Wallace
- If, for example, tomorrow an expedition of Martians came to us here and one said 'I want to be baptised!', what would happen? Martians, right? Green, with long noses and big ears, like in children's drawings? When the Lord shows us the way, who are we to say, 'No, Lord, it is not prudent! No, let's do it this way'. Who are we to close doors?"
- Pope Francis [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-says-he-would-baptise-aliens-9360632.html Pope Francis says he would baptize aliens
- I believe in God, not in a Catholic God, there is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.
- Pope Francis, interviewed in "How the Church will change" by Eugenio Scalfari in La Repubblica (1 October 2013), as translated from Italian to English by Kathryn Wallace
- Sorcery was at the time extensively practised by some of the highest dignitaries of the church, and five or six popes in succession were notorious for these sacrilegious practices. About the same period the papal chair was at its lowest state of degradation; this dignity was repeatedly exposed for sale; and the reign of Gerbert, a man of consummate abilities and attainment, is almost the only redeeming feature in the century in which he lived. At length the tiara became the purchase of an ambitious family, which had already furnished two popes, in behalf of a boy of twelve years of age, who reigned by the name of Benedict the Ninth.
- William Godwin, Lives of the Necromancers (1835), p. 166.
- Gregory VII., whose original name was Hildebrand, is one f the great champions of the Romish church, and did more than any other man to establish the law of the celibacy of the clergy, and to take the patronage of ecclesiastical dignities out of the hands of the laity.
- Ibdb, p. 167.
- A vast number of Catholic clerics have been tried for sexual crimes ... It is not a matter of regrettable individual lapses, but of a general corruption of morals such as the history of civilization has scarcely ever known . . . No other class of society has ever come to shelter such depravity ... In our civilized world no other class of society has contrived to practice immorality and indulge in filth on a scale resembling than that achieved by the German clergy in all its ranks ... We cannot possibly impose sanctions on unnatural vice and yet at the same time allow thousands upon thousands of priests and brothers of religious Orders to escape scot-free ... A very large number of these priests and Religious work in the confessional ... There is no doubt that even the thousands of cases which have come to light represent but a small fraction of the total moral corruption.
- Speech by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels on all German wireless stations, May 28, 1937, accusing Catholic priests and monks of immorality and pedophilia on a grand scale.

- Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels went through all the standard Nazi gestures. He pointed, shook his fist, stretched his thin lips in a grim grin. He hurled his fiery oratory against the Swastika-festooned walls of Berlin's Deutschland Hall, and 20,000 loyal Nazis egged him on. Through Goebbels, the Reich last week pointed, grinned, and shook its fist at the Roman Catholic Church. The little Minister of Propaganda had taken the job of replying to the latest Catholic attack on Hitlerism — by George Cardinal Mundelein, Archbishop of Chicago (reported in News-Week, May 29). But Goebbels went beyond that issue to a defiant defense of the arrests of thousands of German priests and monks for so-called immorality and perversion. The Vatican received the most violent tongue-lashing ever uttered by a Nazi official:
"Mundelein ... in the course of a public speech in which he insulted the Fuehrer . . . and referred to me as the crooked German Minister of Propaganda, said that these trials were staged only to harm the persecuted Catholic Church ... I speak in the name of thousands of German parents who think with fear and disgust that their own innocent children might some time be morally and physically corrupted in this way by unscrupulous seducers . . . This sex plague must and will be ruthlessly extirpated."
- The most important thing about me is that I am a Catholic. It's a superstructure within which you can work, like a sonnet.
- When I went to Methodist youth fellowship, we were taught that the Catholics were all going to go to hell because they worship idols. So right there, I'm saying to myself, "Catholics are going to go to hell, but my aunt Molly married a Catholic and she converted and she's got 11 kids and they're all pretty nice and one of them's my good friend – they're all going to go to hell?" I'm thinking to myself, "This is bullshit." And if that's bullshit, how much of the rest of it is bullshit?
- That tyranny which the pope himself has for so many ages exercised over the church.
- The very antichrist, and son of perdition, of whom Paul speaks.
- John Knox The Zurich Letters, pg. 199
- If you cannot see that divinity includes male and female characteristics and at the same time transcends them, you have bad consequences. Rome and Cardinal O'Connor base the exclusion of women priests on the idea that God is the Father and Jesus is His Son, there were only male disciples, etc. They are defending a patriarchal Church with a patriarchal God. We must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of God.
- Everyone agrees the celibacy rule is just a Church law dating from the 11th century, not a divine command.
- Hans Kung Newsweek interview, July 8, 1991
- The Pope would have an easier job than the President of the United States in adopting a change of course. He has no Congress alongside him as a legislative body nor a Supreme Court as a judiciary. He is absolute head of government, legislator and supreme judge in the church. If he wanted to, he could authorize contraception over night, permit the marriage of priests, make possible the ordination of women and allow eucharistic fellowship with this Protestant churches. What would a Pope do who acted in the spirit of Obama?
- We here are of the conviction that the papacy is the seat of the true and real Antichrist ... personally I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than that to Antichrist.
- Martin Luther (Aug. 18, 1520) The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Vol. 2., pg. 121 by Froom
- I despise and attack it, as impious, false... It is Christ Himself who is condemned therein... I rejoice in having to bear such ills for the best of causes. Already I feel greater liberty in my heart; for at last I know that the pope is antichrist, and that his throne is that of Satan himself.
- Martin Luther D'Aubigné, b.6, ch. 9.
- I would advise no one to send his child where the Holy Scriptures are not supreme. Every institution that does not unceasingly pursue the study of God's word becomes corrupt. Because of this we can see what kind of people they become in the universities and what they are like now. Nobody is to blame for this except the pope, the bishops, and the prelates, who are all charged with training young people. The universities only ought to turn out men who are experts in the Holy Scriptures, men who can become bishops and priests, and stand in the front line against heretics, the devil, and all the world. But where do you find that? I greatly fear that the universities, unless they teach the Holy Scriptures diligently and impress them on the young students, are wide gates to hell.
- Martin Luther To the Christian Nobility of the German States (1520), translated by Charles M. Jacobs, reported in rev. James Atkinson, The Christian in Society, I (Luther's Works, ed. James Atkinson, vol. 44), p. 207 (1966).
- Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen.
- Martin Luther Statement in defense of his writings at the Diet of Worms (19 April 1521), quoted in Martin Luther by Martin Brecht
- I know that a Christian should be humble, but against the Pope I am going to be proud and say to him: "You, Pope, I will not have you for my boss, for I am sure that my doctrine is divine."
- Martin Luther Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians (1535) Chapter 2, Verse 6
- I am entirely of the opinion that the papacy is the Antichrist. But if anyone wants to add the Turk, then the Pope is the spirit of the Antichrist, and the Turk is the flesh of the Antichrist. They help each other in their murderous work. The latter slaughters bodily and by the sword, the former spiritually and by doctrine.
- Martin Luther Table Talk (1569) 330.
- And I myself, in Rome, heard it said openly in the streets, "If there is a hell, then Rome is built on it." That is, "After the devil himself, there is no worse folk than the pope and his followers."
- Martin Luther Against the Roman Papacy, An Institution of the Devil ( Wider das Papstum zu Rom vom Teuffel Gestifft, A. D. 1545)[4] in Luther's Works, Church and Ministry III, American Ed., Helmut T. Lehman, Eric W. Gritsch, eds., Augsburg Fortress Press, 1966, Vol. 41:279. ISBN 0800603419 ISBN 9780800603410.
- I am disturbed about Roman Catholicism. This church stands before the world with its pomp and power, insisting that it possesses the only truth. It incorporates an arrogance that becomes a dangerous spiritual arrogance. It stands with its noble Pope who somehow rises to the miraculous heights of infallibility when he speaks ex cathedra. But I am disturbed about a person or an institution that claims infallibility in this world. I am disturbed about any church that refuses to cooperate with other churches under the pretense that it is the only true church. I must emphasize the fact that God is not a Roman Catholic, and that the boundless sweep of his revelation cannot be limited to the Vatican. Roman Catholicism must do a great deal to mend its ways.
- Martin Luther King Jr., "Paul's Letter to American Christians", Sermon delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama (4 November 1956)
- The oracles of God foretold the rising of an Antichrist in the Christian Church: and in the Pope of Rome, all the characteristics of that Antichrist are so marvelously answered that if any who read the Scriptures do not see it, there is a marvelous blindness upon them.
- Cotton Mather The Fall of Babylon in The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers by Froom, Vol. 3, pg. 113
- People talk about how horrible it is to be brought up Catholic, and it's all true. The main thing was that there was no sense of proportion. I would chew a piece of gum at school, and the nun would say, 'Jesus is very angry with you about that,' and on the wall behind her would be a dying, bleeding guy on a cross. That's a horrifying image to throw at a little kid. You really could almost think that your talking in line, say, was on a par with killing Jesus.
- George Meyer David Owen (2000-03-13). "Taking Humour Seriously". The New Yorker.
- It is impossible to enumerate how thoroughly Catholicism today is saturated by middle-class reasonableness; one need only recall how even baptism—once the most powerful expression of the church's opposition to the state, a symbol of entry into a spiritual countercommunity, a mystical adoption, less the bearing of a name than being led by means of a name on the first steps of one's inner way—is today bound up with middle-class record-keeping: with the identity card, the need for an enduring characterization resting on the firm distinctions of compelling reason; which means that being a person is made impossible by the "individual," that incalculable spiritual and intellectual destiny that tears away the protective covering of the soul's anonymity and drives it to mindlessly repetitious, merely defensive expenditures of energy and renders inaccessible to it everything it might do if it did not always first have to look after a person.
- Robert Musil, "The Religious Spirit, Modernism, and Metaphysics" (1913), B. Pike and D. Luft, trans., Precision and Soul (1978), pp. 21-22.
- I would like to grow less afraid of dying. I am infinitely less afraid today than I was 15 or 25 years ago. I was most afraid of dying when I was 33, because I come from a Catholic family.
- Sidney Poitier "Oprah Talks to Sidney Poitier", O Magazine, October 2000
- The Spaniards in Mexico and Peru used to baptize Indian infants and then immediately dash their brains out: by this means they secured these infants went to Heaven.
- Bertrand Russell Why I Am Not a Christian (6 March 1927).
- The church has ever opposed the progress of woman on the ground that her freedom would lead to immorality. We ask the church to have more confidence in women. We ask the opponents of this movement to reverse the methods of the church, which aims to keep women moral by keeping them in fear and in ignorance, and to inculcate into them a higher and truer morality based upon knowledge. And ours is the morality of knowledge. If we cannot trust woman with the knowledge of her own body, then I claim that two thousand years of Christian teaching has proved to be a failure.
- Margaret Sanger, "The Morality of Birth Control," 18 November 1921, Park Theatre, NY [5]
- It is evident that thought is also necessary for action. But the Church has for centuries ... focused on orthodoxy and left orthopraxis in the hands of nonmembers and nonbelievers.
- Edward Schillebeeckx "La teología" as cited in A Theology of Liberation (1973), p. 10
- It is almost a truism to say that only the Catholic really knows the case against Catholicism, but he is handicapped by also knowing the answer to it.
- Robert Speaight, Ronald Knox the Writer (1966). London: Sheed and Ward, p. 91
- Being a proper Catholic means being a repressed Catholic, so the kinds of images that Catholicism deals with and the kinds of native mythology create the most horrific monsters. You know when you're a kid and you're told of these stories of decapitation and mutilation and blood, but on top of this, all of these stories have a spiritual content, which is really weird, like spiritual mutilation.
- His life as a pope was so vile, so foul, so execrable, that I shudder to think of it.
- Pope Victor III on Pope Benedict IX Victor III, Pope (1934), Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Libelli de lite p. 141
- He is in an emphatical sense, the Man of Sin, as he increases all manner of sin above measure. And he is, too, properly styled the Son of Perdition, as he has caused the death of numberless multitudes, both of his opposers and followers... He it is...that exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped...claiming the highest power, and highest honour...claiming the prerogatives which belong to God alone."
- John Wesley Antichrist and His Ten Kingdoms, pg. 110.
- "This compromise between paganism and Christianity resulted in the development of "the man of sin" foretold in prophecy as opposing and exalting himself above God. That gigantic system of false religion is a masterpiece of Satan's power--a monument of his efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule the earth according to his will.
- Ellen G. White [hhttp://www.gutenberg.org/files/25833/25833-h/25833-h.html]
- How is one to explain that neither Hitler nor Himmler was ever excommunicated by the church? That Pius XII never thought it necessary, not to say indispensable, to condemn Auschwitz and Treblinka? That among the S.S. a large proportion were believers who remained faithful to their Christian ties to the end? That there were killers who went to confession between massacres? And that they all came from Christian families and had received a Christian education?
- Elie Wiesel, A Jew Today
- The pretended Vicar of Christ on earth, who sits as God over the Temple of God, exalting himself not only above all that is called God, but over the souls and consciences of all his vassals, yea over the Spirit of Christ, over the Holy Spirit, yea, and God himself...speaking against the God of heaven, thinking to change times and laws; but he is the son of perdition (II Thess. 2).
- Roger Williams (theologian) taken from The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers by Froom, Vol. 3, pg. 52.

- Quotes reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, The Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 77-79.
- The discussion which was made by Luther, Melancthon, and the other persons who preceded the Reformation, opened the eyes or the public; and they got rid of the delusions which had been spread by the Pope of Rome, and emancipated mankind from the spiritual tyranny they were under, and brought about the establishment of that religion which we now enjoy in this country.

General Motors (GM) is starting to show concern that Tesla Motors (TSLA) seems to be one step ahead of it.
Bloomberg reports that General Motors CEO Dan Akerson believes Tesla could cause a major power shift in the car industry unless other companies manage to catch up.
Although GM is a more recognizable name in the automotive industry, its recent failures — combined with Tesla's technological advancements — have GM thinking about what to do next.
Tesla has been on the upswing lately due to its new electric vehicles which can be recharged by plugging them into an electric outlet. These vehicles are already showing their worth as Tesla's Model S outsold GM's Volt despite the fact that the Model S's retail price was about 30,000 more than the Volt upon release.
Akerson recently hired a team from within to study Tesla's technology with the purpose of catching up with the electric car-maker. Although the last Volt wasn't as successful as the Model S, GM engineers are working hard on the new Volt, which is slated to come out in 2015 or 2016.

The Daily Energy
New York will be on center stage next month – what else is new? - as the state decides whether to frack its section of the Marcellus. Yoko Ono and crew (above) are all lined up against it, announcing that "Fracking kills." They have the support of a 4th grade class in upstate Middletown. The New York State Department of Health has a different view, however, giving the technology a clean bill of health. And Deroy Murdoch points out that even the Environmental Protection Agency hasn't found anything wrong with the technology. But will any of this make a difference in celebrity-conscious New York? Governor Andrew Cuomo may be in his toughest spot yet.
Nuclear power, the other big no-no, received an even greater endorsement from the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), which after 50 years of preaching "no safe dose" has finally reversed itself and conceded that there is no danger to health at levels of exposure below 10 rems. (The average annual dose from background sources is about 1/3 rem.) That means that all the hysteria about exposures at Fukushima have been for naught. As James Conca points out in an excellent entry on Forbes, Japanese officials have now banned foodstuffs such as wild mushrooms on the basis of their natural background levels. Time to end the panic.
Are oil imports rising or falling? Ben Casselman addresses the question in a Wall Street Journal blog. They seem to be doing both. The number of barrels has declined 21 percent in the last two years but the cost of those barrels has risen 14 percent. That's the because of a higher price of international oil.
Much of the opposition to a carbon tax comes from the observation that it is regressive. But Paul Boudreaux of Stetson University College of Law has a better idea: Exempt the poor! Every home would be given a 5,000 kWh tax exemption. But wait a minute. Is the tax going to be imposed on carbon or on electricity? Taxing coal, gas and oil at the mine or wellhead would be easy. Trying to calculate how much carbon is coming out of each smokestack would be another cap-and-trade nightmare. And if an exemption is put in for the poor, won't others ask for it as well? How about depressed industries in Appalachia? Don't they qualify? Well, it's going to get messy. We may end up like Australia, where the carbon tax was festooned with so many exemptions that the biggest polluters ended up making money off the deal.
Finally, one of the hot ideas in electricity is microgrids. Instead of connecting to the big grid, small units stay independent so they can duck and cover when it comes to blackouts. A handful of university communities, such as UC San Diego, are starting to experiment. The idea floating behind this – wouldn't you know? – is that these microgrids can run on nice renewable energy and avoid all the nasty oil, gas and nuclear that the big guys use. Fairfield, Connecticut is trying to implement a microgrid that will allow its sewage treatment plant and other essential services to run on renewables during a hurricane blackout.
Wait a minute. Renewables are going to save the day during a hurricane? Wind energy seems plausible but solar? Better rethink that one. And come to think of it, doesn't a diesel generation qualify as a "microgrid?"

Would You Wear: Mullet Skirts?
It's bizarre to hear the words "mullet" and "trend" in the same sentence, but here it goes: mullet skirts, in all of their business in the back/party out front (I guess that makes it more of a reverse mullet) glory, are a huge trend right now. Its inception, like that of most trends, was on the runway: the style was almost unprecedentedly popular during the Spring/Summer 2012 season, shown in some incarnation at Thakoon, Alexander McQueen, Diane Von Furstenberg, DKNY, and more. It didn't take long after for celebrities and fashionistas alike to pick up on what is technically called the "high-low" skirt. Some pull it off well, while others… don't pull it off at all. It's definitely a tricky trend to master for anyone, but the real question is, would you be down to give it a shot? If you're a ballsier street stylist than I, more power to you — I've included a few styles to shop from after the jump.
BB Dakota Sage Skirt, $24.99, 6pm
High-Low Hem Skirt, $22.80, Forever 21
BCBGeneration High-Low Maxi Skirt, $98, Zappos

On average, there are now five times as many record-breaking hot months worldwide than could be expected without long-term global warming, shows a study now published in Climatic Change.
In parts of Europe, Africa and southern Asia the number of monthly records has increased even by a factor of ten.
Eighty percent of observed monthly records would not have occurred without human influence on climate, concludes the authors-team of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Complutense University of Madrid.
If global warming continues, the study projects that the number of new monthly records will be 12 times as high in 30 years as it would be without climate change.
"Now this doesn't mean there will be 12 times more hot summers in Europe than today – it actually is worse," Coumou points out.
For the new records set in the 2040s will not just be hot by today's standards.
"To count as new records, they actually have to beat heat records set in the 2020s and 2030s, which will already be hotter than anything we have experienced to date," explains Coumou.
"And this is just the global average – in some continental regions, the increase in new records will be even greater."

In this video, watch White House press secretary Jay Carney try to explain why he has no idea how many Americans enrolled for Obamacare have actually made a payment for their plan.
Carney tried to explain that the most recent numbers were in the hands of the companies that issued the policies, and weren't available to the White House.
Carney also pointed out that the automated payment system was not yet fully online.

Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): BZ (7.95), MI (6.77), MWV (26.08),
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
BIAS: 21% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): None
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are showing moderate strength heading into the open.
- Asian and European markets are both showing weakness in trading today.
- S&P 500 setting up to open at or below the 10-day moving average, which is something that hasn't occurred during the duration of this rally going back to Dec. 1.
- Should we trade below 10-day moving average, the next area of support to watch is 20-day moving average.
- A break below 1251 would represent a "lower-low" in the market, and would greatly enhance the bearish cause going forward.
- Volume was fairly steady and slightly above average last week for the best stock picks.
- Dip buying always is a strong possibility, even on days where the market is setting up for a strong push downwards. Be very careful when initiating new short positions in the afternoon, as that tends to be the best time for dip-buying to start ramping up.
- Hanging-Man candle pattern on the S&P 500 Friday could be an early indication that bullish enthusiasm may be waning in the short-term, and could bring forth some additional selling.
- 1276-8 is representative of the higher-high in this rally, and is providing short-term resistance.
- The more long-term trend-line dating back to Sept. 1 currently has support at 1234.
- For the bears — At the very least close the day below the 10-day moving average — ideally below Friday's lows.
- For the bulls — Need to see some dip buying come in and support this market — close above the 10-day moving average, but by no means lose the 20-day moving average.
Here Are The Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Unlikely to add any new long positions to the portfolio today, unless the market rebounds off of the lows. May initiate at least one short position if the market weakness persists throughout the day.
- Raised the stop-loss in Boise (NYSE: BZ).
- Closed out Dean Foods (NYSE: DF) on Friday at an average price of $9.66 (8.2% gain), Genco Shipping & Trading (NYSE: GNK) at $14.90 (.9% gain), and LSI Corp. (NYSE: LSI) at $6.05 (1.5% loss).
- Day-traded ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (NYSE: SSO) off of the 10-day moving average on Friday for a 1% gain.

The Soapbox: I Don't Want Your Yellow Fever
As a kid, I was used to standing out for lots of reasons, like my "Star Wars" obsession or the black eyeliner and vampire chic that made up my high school wardrobe.
I never expected my race to be one of those reasons.
I grew up as an Asian-American among Asian-Americans, so I certainly wasn't used to being viewed as what we English Lit majors call "the exotic other." Even when I went to college in St. Louis, it wasn't that much of a problem. I did go on a date with a guy who went on about his trip to Japan and the extreme "femininity" of its women, but that was about it.
It wasn't until I moved to the UK that it kicked in: men – and it was always men – shouting "NEE HOW MA" or "KOH-NEE-CHEE-WAAAH" or even "Me love you long time!" as I walked down the street; starting conversations with "Soooo … are you from … China?" before they'd even asked my name; playing up their supposed interest in Asian culture while going on about how "feminine" and beautiful Asian women are.
Of course, many non-Asian people are genuinely interested in the cultures of Asia. I don't mind if people ask me where I'm from during the course of a conversation, as long as it's not the very first thing they ask. And it's fine for non-Asian men (and women) to be physically attracted to Asian women – this is the 21st century, after all, and we do look good. Some people simply have a type which is more likely to be found in certain ethnic groups than others. For instance, I find prominent noses and curly hair attractive; other people might like black hair or brown eyes.
But what I'm talking about is Yellow Fever: the desire to fetishize Asian women as some sort of homogenous "sexy other," and being more interested in our Asian-ness than who we really are.
I'm aware that these instances are more due to ignorance and objectification than hate. But while outright race-based hate is thankfully becoming less acceptable, ignorance is still flourishing. For instance, I once worked in an office here in the UK where someone referred to a Chinese takeout meal as a "C-word-that-rhymes-with-slinky," all in a perfectly neutral tone of voice. I'd never heard him say anything remotely racist before, so it was a surprise. It wasn't until I said, "Excuse me?!" that he even realized that term might be offensive. To his credit, he apologized right away – but the fact still remains that he initially saw nothing wrong with using that word. And I wonder: if people see it as okay to use that C-word, what other sentiments are they okay with?
I'm also aware that while I managed to mostly avoid this phenomenon in America, many other women aren't so lucky. The Creepy White Guys Tumblr is full of messages received by Asian women that are dripping with entitlement, stereotypes, and sexual objectification:
"I'm just a big strong American man who will love and protect you…"
"Hey, do you know kung fu? How about fuck-fu?…"
"…I am obsessed with having sex with Chinese women while they tell me things that make me feel empowered …"
I don't 100 percent agree with the Tumblr name – creepiness isn't exclusive to any particular race – but it's an excellent showcase of the sentiments that underlie the Yellow Fever treatment.
When men ask where I'm from before even asking my name, that suggests they're more interested in my difference than they are in me as a person. All that "NEE HOW MA" or "KOH-NEE-CHEE-WAAAH" stuff? It's just racial catcalling: the same as "Hey, baby," but in an attempt at an Asian language. Because I'm Asian, you see, and I couldn't possibly understand what "Hey, baby" means. And reverting to the tired "Me love you long time" cliché, or gushing about how much you love Asian women for their "femininity" and conflating culture with sexuality? That taps into age-old stereotypes of the Asian woman as the subservient geisha/lotus flower/sex wizard, and colonialist views of Asia itself. It all adds up to a desire to see us as the foreign other; a refusal to accept that we can assimilate into a particular culture and become just as much a part of it as anyone else. Yellow Fever is not complimentary. It's ugly and racist and, like its namesake, needs to be cured as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if you do have a case of Yellow Fever, please stay as far away from Asian women as possible – because we sure as hell don't want to be around it.

Scott Walker (WI) Recall Signer Witch-Hunt Update 4-10-12
Targeting the Mil Cty DIstrict Attorney
" Media Trackers, which digs up dirt on Democrats and liberals, put out a release Monday identifying 43 people in Chisholm's office who signed the Walker petition. Of those, it said one was a deputy district attorney and 19 were assistant district attorneys. "
Note: this is the same orginzation who made the original threat to those who signed the recall.
4/6/12 More Journalists:
"TODAY'S TMJ4 and Newsradio 620 WTMJ discovered that several members of our staff signed the recall petitions for Governor Walker."
Note: JS Comunications owns both of these media outlets and the Journal Sentinal Milwaukee largest newspaper as well and supported Scott Walker for Governer.
Me again: March 31, 2012
School board again:
- http://www.belling.com/
"Sussex School Board Member Spelled Name Wrong Last Year AND This Year On Separate Recall Petitions!!
Belling was more or less advertising that you could get a persons address and then target them. He said that it was a more or less a guidebook to find liberals in Wisconsin and go after them for signing the recall.
Judges are being targeted:
- http://www.postcrescent.com/article/20120318/APC0101/203180491/29-Wisconsin-judges-sign-recall-petitions
"APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- The publisher of The Post-Crescent of Appleton has written an open letter to readers apologizing for 25 Gannett Wisconsin Media journalists who signed petitions calling for the ouster of Republican Governor Scott Walker."

"APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- The publisher of The Post-Crescent of Appleton has written an open letter to readers apologizing for 25 Gannett Wisconsin Media journalists who signed petitions calling for the ouster of Republican Governor Scott Walker."
Here's the right wing threat:
- - - - -
Iverifytherecall.com is being used to target individuals for political retribution and intimidation.
The question is not that it is public information, but how that information is used.
The website uses signature identification software, you can put in a person's name or scan a zip code. Not only does it reveal your name or names of your family, it will also give out your address.
The types of retribution could be mild which is happening to me by aggressive posters on my blog, they mentioned my wife's name and what city we live in in a clear attempt at intimidation, to the Witch-hunts against public officials and journalists, people getting fired from their jobs, to what I fear next is they will be attacking the homes and property of recall signers.

(NOTE: This assignment is written for teachers, not students. Adapt accordingly if you use this.)
As Unit 4 approached, I wracked my brain for an assignment that my students would find both exciting and thought-provoking. I wanted something that pushed their critical thinking skills. During one of my graduate classes, a teacher urged us to visit Margaret Mead Art Museum's photography exhibit, "The Pain of War," which I did. The exhibit was incredibly powerful, stuck with me for weeks, and I realized that I had to do something with it.
I sent a proposal to the Writing Program, requesting disposable cameras for my students and money to develop film. The Writing Program granted my request, and the following assignment took shape:
Images, I think we all agree, communicate meaning. Often, images achieve effects that written text might not necessarily produce. (The same goes for written text as opposed to image.)
In light of this, I'd like you to construct a photo essay: part writing/part visual image. Over the Thanksgiving break, it is your task to exhaust a 24-exposure disposable camera, which the Writing Program has provided each one of you. Take photographs of whatever you like: objects, people, landscapes; candid shots, composed shots; juxtapositions of the familiar and unfamiliar; series of events. Whatever you like. Think, as you photograph, of "________" (a particular reading assigned for the unit), and how you might connect the author's ideas concerning _____ (again, this obviously depends on the particular reading) to your photos.
Your cameras, all pictures shot, are due the Monday following the break, November 29—call this your rough rough draft--at which point I'll collect them, and the Writing Program will provide for their development. Depending on the developer, the photos will be returned either Wednesday or Friday. The first shot on the roll of film should be of your face. This is merely a way of "writing" your name on the camera, but who knows? You may choose to use this image in your final composition.
Your final composition will entail a series of photographs (at least five) combined with at least three pages of writing on that series. Your writing might include explanations of what effects you are trying to achieve with the photos, an analysis of the elements in the photos and how those elements function. It might attempt to discuss the ways the photos communicate certain things that writing cannot adequately do. It might work in concert with the photos to provide a narrative—possibly a conflicting or complementing set of narratives—for the reader/viewer. It might look at the numerous ways the photos can be interpreted. You might place photos throughout the text. You might gather them all at the beginning, or at the end. One fundamental requirement exists: the photos must do something that you think the writing cannot or does not do. You must explore an image's ability to move beyond a mere representation of what the words already provide.
You will have to make many decisions along the way—carefully considering your purpose in the photo essay and your intended audience (and, of course, how best to achieve that purpose in relation to that audience.) In making all these decisions, I hope much will be revealed to me and revealed to you.
Before I distributed this assignment to students, I brought several photo essays (James Nachtwey, Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, as well as this great series from the Republican National Convention by Peter Turnley--it appeared in Harper's, as does another striking photo essay by Turnley, entitled "The Dispossessed: Photographs from New Orleans," in the Nov 2005 issue) to class. We spent two classes examining these: How did they function? How did they achieve certain effects? How did the print text differ (or not) from visual images in terms of function and effect? And how did the two work together to achieve something unique?
We also considered the audience for such photographs—taking into account factors like exhibition and publication—and explored the ways audience might play into interpretation.
After the cameras and the task were in the hands of the students, they were required to visit "The Pain of War." This exhibit is no longer easily accessible (it's gone from the Mead), but a short viewing from the film Born into Brothels might provide another way of entering this unit. After viewing the exhibit, students met me in conferences. We talked about the exhibit and discussed plans for their own photo essays. Most of the students were overwhelmed, moved, and shaken by the exhibit—that alone made me glad I'd required it.
After break, I collected the cameras, and students spent a couple of days writing plans for the essay, discussing photos they thought would be most memorable or useful and why, and brainstorming possible captioning in their essays. For the caption exercise, I brought in examples of captioned photographs from a variety of media (from The Onion to The New York Times), and the class devised a list of functions captions might serve. Then, I handed out photographs with captions removed, and the students supplied their own, trying out a variety of techniques (humorous, informative, re-contextualizing, etc.). You might also send students searching (books, magazines, the internet) for examples of visuals that tell a story beyond the representational, where images "say" things that the text does not or where images perhaps even contradict the text. The students could then provide the raw material for a day's class, sharing their findings, their interpretations, and soliciting student response in relation to the interaction between image, text, context, audience, and purpose.
When the students' photos arrived, I distributed them in class, and they reflected on revisions to their writing necessitated by the photos, on different ways they might structure their essays to include the photos (now, having read the essays, I'd spend more time on this, discussing ways to incorporate the photos into the essays so that they seem truly necessary and produce maximum effect), and on how the developed photos differed from the photos they thought they took (this was funny). We moved to the final unit, in class, while the students revised and completed their essays as homework over the next few days.

Advocates throughout the country are keeping up the drumbeat for paid sick days this summer! Already this month, campaigns in Denver and Seattle have made exciting progress.
The busy 2011 legislative season continues with paid sick days activity and excitement on both coasts and in the nation's capital.
For working families today, paid sick days can mean the difference between staying afloat and being unable to afford basic expenses like food and transportation - and this lifeline comes at minimal or no cost to businesses.
It has been an exciting month in the fight for paid sick days!
Moments ago, the state Senate in Connecticut passed the state's paid sick days bill, putting an exciting conclusion to debate in the chamber. Connecticut is now poised to become the first state in the nation to establish a paid sick days standard.
Philadelphia's workers are hoping the city will soon take a critical step toward changing the way workplaces honor families.
Around the country, paid sick days campaigns are making real progress.
As we near the end of LGBT Health Awareness Week — a time to focus on eliminating the health disparities and health care discrimination faced by the LGBT community — we cannot forget the role that access to health care plays in promoting the health and well-being of LGBT workers and their families.
Today, we celebrate victory at the Wisconsin Court of Appeals: The court ruled unanimously to uphold Milwaukee's paid sick days ordinance, which sets a minimum floor of paid sick days for workers in the city.
Just in time for Valentine's Day — the highest grossing day of the year for restaurants — the Restaurant Opportunities Center of Washington, D.C., (ROC-DC) has released a comprehensive analysis of workplace policies in the city's restaurant industry.
A new study released today shows that San Francisco's Paid Sick Leave Ordinance (PSLO) — the first citywide paid sick days standard in the country — has been proven a success.
Few workplace policies in the United States recognize the dual demands of work and family. Our lack of a paid sick time standard is a prime example.
Our country needs more adequate, reasonable and flexible sick leave policies. Tens of millions of workers in this country don't have a single paid sick day. Many of those who do can't use them to meet their family's health needs. As a result, kids and their parents are forced to go to school or work sick, contagion spreads, and public health suffers.
As Members of Congress campaign for votes at home, the National Partnership for Women & Families and two of our key allies have been hard at work educating Congressional staff about the public health and economic security case for paid sick days policies.
Throughout the long, hot summer — despite the veto-proof majority in the New York City Council, despite the endless terrible experiences of workers who've been forced to work sick, despite the loads of testimony in favor of the Paid Sick Time Act — New York's proposed paid sick days law has remained in limbo.
New analysis from the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) provides support for what paid sick days advocates have long argued: lack of access to paid sick days means employees are more likely to go to work sick, spread contagious disease, prolong the effects of pandemic illness, and harm the public health.

About MePhiladelphia based photographer.
Travel to surrounding areas.
Lots of creative ideas.
@nickels2dimes on IG (gram me)
I shoot at a steady pace, always new ideas and each shoot is more creative than the previous one.
: An escort is always permitted at any shoot I do "as long as he or she is not disruptive during shooting"
: Re-scheduling a shoot is not a problem however it does lose your place in line so depending on the work load and other models appointments it could be a while before we actually get to shoot if you Re-schedule.
: Paid shoots and prepared shoots will include a specific look to be determined before shooting by the model and myself to ensure we get the desired results for both parties involved.This means I will go through whatever measures are needed to make sure the model has proper attire for the shoot even if it means buying the items needed for a successful shoot.
: Model release forms are readily available for review before shooting and any specific release forms the model has will have to be read and agreed upon before shooting.
: Models under the age of 18 must bring a parent or guardian to any shoot they do,there are no exceptions to this rule.
: Any non exclusive clothing or other items that are used during a shoot will be available for the model to keep after the shoot.
: If you are keeping an appointment and are running late the only rule is communication.
: Any images that are shot by me will be watermarked ,if this produces a problem and it is brought to my attention before shooting, the watermark can be invisible if preferred,but I sign my name on any work I do.
: If you require a personal watermark of your own entity please make it know and provide me with correct spelling and placement on the images.
: If you have a project and would like me to help you asking is fine but if it does not fit my work criteria I will decline.
I value your business and our friendship.
: I do not go though managers or boyfriends nor husbands to arrange a shoot. This does apply to all models. If you need some type of third party arrangements to set up a shoot then please pass me by.
Giving you a CD of all the images from the shoot right out of the camera will never happen. If this is something you require in order to set up a shoot, once again I am not the photographer for you.

I have noticed two problems using the Firefox 3 PBI relating to printing and YouTube.

I am running PCBSD 7.0.1 i386 on an HP xw8200 (dual Xeon 3.4 GHz) with nVidia card and printing through an HP LaserJet 4+ via tcp/ip and CUPS.

(1) Sending a print job from a PBI version of firefox 3 crashes the browser immediately.

Kris Moore addressed firefox 3 printing problems back in September 2008 with this solution:

# mv /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr.old
 # ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr

Howver that does not solve the current FF 3.0.3 or FF 3.0.4 downloaded from a PBI.

The good news is that the printing problem does not exist if you download FF 3.0.4 from ports.

(2) YouTube Problems.

a. YouTube videos cannot repeat. Also, any attempt to load a second video in the same tab or a different tab results in only a gray video box with no sound or video and a temporary system freeze that makes it impossible to jump to the other programs (like a terminal window).

You can wait out the freeze or, if you don't want to wait a couple of minutes, you can jump to a console and kill npviewer.bin to restore function. To enable any kind of play again, you must leave the browser and restart it.

b. Another problem involves a problem downloading a YouTube video with the "YouTube Download Tool" ( http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/ ). To download a video to your computer, enter the YouTube URL for the video in the box and the video will be downloaded in flv format where you can use VLC or another compatible player to view it.

This problem is not fixed by installing FF3 from ports.

In contrast, SeaMonkey (from ports) is very well behaved about repeating or loading additional YouTube videos. No delay, no freeze, no problem.

Both FF3 and SeaMonkey have the same plug-ins -- npwrapper.libflashplayer.so (Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124) and xineplugin.so (Xine Plugin version 1.0.2,)

Unfortunately, SeaMonkey does not solve the YouTube Download Tool problem.

Today, cinematography is an extremely popular industry and
simultaneously it is a progressive form of art oriented on
the mass audience. In such a context, it is hardly possible
to underestimate the artistic and social values of films.
In this regard, "Everyday People" is a particularly
noteworthy film, which attempts to depict ordinary people
in a difficult true to the real life situation. As a result,
the film raises a number of important social and cultural
issues, such as ethnocentrism, discrimination, social inequality
and others. Such a diversity of socially significant issues
makes the film very interesting to watch not only for the
mass audience but also for specialists, including sociologists,
film critics, etc.
On analyzing the film, it is possible to clearly distinguish
two major parties. On the one hand there are employers who
decided to sell the diner out, while, on the other hand, there
are employees for whom their job in the diner is of the paramount
importance since their life and the life of their families
heavily relies on their job. In such a context, it is possible
to speak about apparent antagonism of employers and employees
that makes them absolutely different. However, both employees
and employers still feel closely linked to the diner and by
the end of the film the owner of the diner is uncertain whether
to shut it down or not that makes him closer and similar to
employees. What does unite them is the diner itself and the
fact of working in there which made them feel being a part
of a team.
Nevertheless, it does not prevent the owner and employees
from numerous conflicts which often involve discriminatory
issues. In this regard, it is possible to speak about racial
discrimination when non-white employees, such as Ali, Benita,
are oppressed by the white owner and they have to do the hardest
work and often they do not receive equal payment for their
job compared to other employees. Also, there is a class discrimination
since there is an enormous class gap between the owner, belonging
to the middle class and using his position to take vitally
important decisions such as shutting the diner down, and ignore
the position of employees, representing lower-class.
At the same time, such an attitude of employer to his employees
perfectly illustrates his prejudice in relation to representatives
of lower classes. To put it more precisely, the owner does
not think his employees can take reasonable and correct decisions.
This is why he takes the decision concerning the future of
the diner on his own, neglecting the opposition of employees.
These examples of prejudice and discrimination can be explained
from the functionalist point of view by the existence of socially
significant institutions, such as diner which the life of
employees and employer is bound to. The roles and functions
they perform within the diner defines their relationships
and their social positions. On the other hand, the conflict
theory would explain the prejudices and discrimination discussed
above by the class antagonism of the owner of the diner and
employees. Hence, the antagonism can result in an open conflict
and rebel of employees against the employer.
The cases of pluralism can hardly be identified in the film,
but it is possible to speak about ethnocentrism of the owner
who believes that he is superior to his non-white employees,
such as Ali.

Standing Room Crowd Sends a Clear Message to Albany: Save St. Lawrence Psych Center
More than 100 concerned citizens packed Ogdensburg's City Council chambers Tuesday to oppose Albany's plan to shift inpatient mental health care services from the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center to other facilities hundreds of miles from the North Country.
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE FULL PUBLIC HEARING (07h, 30m)
They were participating in a joint public hearing by the State Senate's Mental Health and Health Committees, and the Assembly Mental Health Committee.
Senator Patty Ritchie joined Senate Mental Health Committee Chair David Carlucci and other legislative colleagues at the hearing. Senator Ritchie has been a strong supporter of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center, serving as a member of the local Psych Center Task Force, and leading an online petition drive that amassed 2,200 signatures of supporters, and a separate postcard campaign that delivered more than 5,000 "Don't Shut the Lights Out on the North Country" messages to Albany officials in support of the Psych Center.
The following are remarks delivered by Senator Ritchie at the opening of today's legislative hearing in Ogdensburg:
"I would like to welcome the Senate Mental Health and Health Committees and Assembly Mental Health Committee to Ogdensburg and Northern New York.
"I especially want to thank Senator Carlucci and Assemblywoman Gunther for traveling across the state to hear firsthand how the Office of Mental Health's misguided plan will endanger the residents of the Northern New York who depend on our mental health system. I also want to thank my good friend, Senator Betty Little, for joining us today
"When I first learned that Albany was looking at changing our mental health system I brought a lot of our community leaders together so that we could make our best case for preserving and even strengthening critically important mental health services right here in the North Country.
Originally, OMH wasn't even going to hold one of their 'listening tour' visits here in the North Country, but I was able to convince them to add Ogdensburg to their schedule.
When they came, we had the largest turnout at any event in the state. We presented a petition with over 1200 signatures and personal stories about what the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center meant to individual patient, families and this community.
Unfortunately, OMH's Centers of Excellence report showed a lot of us that Albany had not listened to a word we said.
That's why I am so glad that the Senate and the Assembly are here today to give us a chance to make our case and be heard.
The speakers you are going to hear from today will tell you how Albany is shortchanging Northern New York and thousands of families who need us to be there for them and their loved ones.
They will tell you how this plan puts our most vulnerable children at risk by shipping them far from their families when they need our help and care the most.
You will hear how this plan shortchanges every county north of the Thruway and every family between Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario.
It is clear to us that moving care downstate will do nothing to improve health care, but it will put many of our most vulnerable citizens in danger.
The sad truth is OMH's plan really isn't a plan at all. There's nothing in this proposal that improves care or provides centers of excellence. It just puts our most vulnerable citizens and children in danger and at risk in places far from their families.
Yes, the Psych center fight is about jobs. More importantly, it's about securing for families, children and the next generation, the kind of quality mental health care we need."
