Yesterday a motion was filed in the MF Global bankruptcy proceedings asking MF Global Inc. (MFGI) trustee James Giddens to claim $120 million in insurance proceeds that is due to the MFGI estate. While the MF Global Holdings (MFGH) trustee Louis Freeh has argued against any of the money from the MFG Assurance policies (as well as other policies) going to former MF Global customers, preferring it be used for the defense cost of officers of the company, the MFGI trustee has taken a more nuanced approach.
Giddens stated in a Feb. 28 court filing: "The proceeds of the policies, though subject to competing claims, may potentially provide a source of recovery for customers for any shortfall in segregated or secured customer property either as the result of litigation by the SIPA trustee or by customers themselves…." However, it goes on to state, "The SIPA Trustee does not oppose payment of some reasonable and necessary defense costs under the policies but does support the suggestion that they be monitored."
The motions relate to efforts to lift an automatic stay initiated with the bankruptcy filing on several insurance policies covering MF Global. Freeh has argued that the stay should be lifted so that those policies can pay for the defense of MFGH officers who are facing multiple lawsuits. The MFGH trustee and MFG Assurance, a subsidiary of MFGH, filed a stipulation and order between themselves regarding reimbursement of costs and expenses. Attorneys representing Sapere Wealth Management and related companies argued that the law requires that the proceeds from the MFG Assurance policies covering May 2011 through May 2012 be distributed to MFGI's commodity customers and the automatic stay should only be lifted for that purpose.
Freeh also has argued consistently that former MF Global customers and their representatives should have no standing in the MFGH Chapter 11 proceedings. To date no stay has been lifted on any of the insurance policies, though some funds have been accessed from the various insurance policies for the defense of officers of the firm based on unrelated lawsuits filed prior to the bankruptcy.
Despite stating that the MFGI estate may have a claim to the insurance proceeds, Giddens has not asserted a claim to it, much to the chagrin of Sapare attorney John Witmeyer. "Giddens hasn't gotten the $120 million [because] he hasn't asked for it," Witmeyer says. The Sapere motion states, "For unfathomable reasons, the trustee has not collected the policy proceeds. Instead, the trustee is passively acquiescing in efforts being made to divest MFGI's commodities customers of the policies' proceeds and to divert them to pay Corzine, et al.'s defense costs."
The U.S. Specialty Insurance Company has also sought to lift a stay in order to make payments under a certain Directors Officers and Corporate Liability Insurance Policy. Generally speaking, director and officer policies (D&O policies) cover the defense of officers of a company and professional liability covers restitution and damages resulting from wrongful acts.
Like the MFG Assurance case, the SIPA trustee says the MFGI estate may have a claim. "While the SIPA trustee believes that there is authority to support a finding that he has a current interest in the proceeds of the D&O policy, he, likewise, does not seek a determination on that issue at this time," states the Feb. 28 filing.
A confusing element in filings of both trustees is that they bundle the different polices together. The SIPA statement concludes: "The coverage under the D&O policy is a valuable asset which should be protected and preserved by this Court for the benefit of MFGI customers, should the SIPA trustee determine that he has claims against any of the D&O policy's insureds, or otherwise asserts an interest in the D&O policy proceeds."
Witmeyer says, "Both trustees are deliberately trying to confuse matters by falsely saying that the MFG Assurance liability insurance policy is a 'D&O' policy and is therefore governed by the rules applicable to the U.S. Speciality Lines D&O policy. However, the MFG Assurance policy is not a D&O policy."
Straw man argument
In addition to not distinguishing between the different types of policies, the MFGI statement misinterprets Sapere's argument. "The Sapere objection alleges that commodities customer's segregated accounts may have been used to pay insurance premiums for Professional Liability Insurance Policies issued by MFG Assurance. ... Based on this, the SIPA Trustee looked in to the payment of premiums on those policies. That investigation yielded no information that any payments were made in October 2011, let alone after October 26, 2011."
Witmeyer says, "The seg funds issue is not the basis for the motion in the SIPA case, but it is the fact that the MFG Assurance policies cover the commodities customers' missing segregated funds."
The relevant language in the MFA Assurance policies, according to Witmeyer, is, "Insurance Covers Professional Liability: The insurer shall pay on behalf of the insured for all loss arising out a wrongful act which gives rise to a claim first made against an insured by a third party during the policy period (or discovery period, if applicable) and reported in writing to the insurer pursuant to the terms of this policy."
The policy also states that the insured covers the policy holders and its subsidiaries.

COLLINSVILLE — Given a challenge by first-year coach Tony Young, East St. Louis senior Johnny McCray answered Friday at Vergil Fletcher Gymnasium.
A 6-foot, 4-inch forward, McCray dominated an overmatched Collinsville front line with a career-high 29 points as the Flyers ran past Collinsville 76-60 in a Southwestern Conference game.
"Coach challenged us tonight to come out and play hard. We had a team meeting and he asked me to step up tonight,'' McCray said. "We just had to come out and execute the way we know we can.''
Gaining more confidence in his role as the Flyers' point guard with each game, DeShawn Munson put up his sixth straight triple-double with 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for East St. Louis.
The Flyers took control of the game with a 23-2 scoring run, which covered the final two minutes of the first half and first three minutes of the third quarter.
The win is the 10th straight for East St. Louis, which improved to 14-6 after losing six of its first 10 games under Young.
"We don't want to look at the fact that we've won 10 in a row. The way I look at is 'who's next?,'" Young said. "We just have to prepare and be ready to give 100 percent every time we take the floor."
"Because the night you give 70 or 80 percent is the night it's going to end.''
Senior Daniel Williams added 16 points for East St. Louis, while Travon McCray added 11.
Collinsville (9-13, 1-8) got 29 points from senior Falando Wilkinson. But coach Darin Lee's squad, which led 19-18 late in the first half, couldn't handle the athletic Flyers over the long haul.
"We just couldn't get the ball up the court, which is disappointing because I thought we had a better handle on it. We couldn't get the ball back in Falando's hands,'' Lee said. "I didn't think we did a very good job of guarding either. But they are a good team with good players.''
Wilkinson canned three free throws to give Collinsville a 19-18 lead with 2:15 left in the first half, but when Travon McCray scored on a layup and followed seconds later with a 3-pointer, the Flyers were up and running with a 23-19 advantage.
Johnny McCray scored on a pair of inside moves and 6-5 senior Antonio Stewart scored three points inside as the Flyers' lead reached 31-21 by halftime.
Johnny McCray led the way with 12 first-half points.
"I challenged Johnny before game,'' Young said. "In my mind, Johnny is the most underrated post player in the conference. When he plays up to his potential, I feel he's one of the best. We just need him to play to his potential on a more consistent basis.''
Kahoks turnovers on their first five possessions led to six points by Williams and a basket apiece from Munson and Johnny McCray as East St. Louis' lead ballooned to 41-21 with five minutes still left in the third period.
"Our defense keyed the run in the first three minutes of the second half,'' Young said. "It just goes to show you when you put pressure on the ball, rotate properly and execute off turnovers like we did that good things can happen.''
Collinsville would get no closer than 11 points the rest of the game.

Yes, you are right, nobody deserves to have a miserable life but I also think that a lot of people
are too gullible and when you don't take your chances (to be less miserable) then you can't blame
anybody else.
Nobody deserves to be miserable. Our choices might lead us to misery, but we deserve a chance to fulfill our true potential.

Five 'Get ready now' heavy weather sailing strategies
John Jamieson

In heavy weather sailing, sailing tips that save time and effort can be more valuable than gold when the rough stuff arrives aboard. Sure, you have jacklines rigged, crew in personal flotation devices (pfds), harnesses, and clipped in. And you've set preventers, taped the lifeline gates and lashed and stowed sailing gear topsides and down below decks.

Look for These Hidden Monsters of the Seven Seas!
John Jamieson
, 7:11 AM Fri GMT
What can lurk just beneath the surface of the water? Or float atop the water like a monster awaiting its prey? These go by many names; deadheads, shipping containers, barrels, drums, and flotsam. And they all have the potential to stove a hole in your boat, crack your keel, damage your rudder, or bend your propeller or shaft like a twisted piece of linguine.

Just like most of the Ssang Yong's out there, you won't have to venture too far to find someone who believes a few of the Lagoon catamarans have been whacked once or twice by the Ugly Stick. Rather, for some they may even feel that they have indeed had a brush in with the whole tree.

"They can scare us, and they can comfort us." {Jonathan Safran Foer, on words}
In September 2007 our Honda Odyssey idled in the gravel parking lot of a mosque in Clemson, South Carolina. As it turned out, the unadorned aluminum structure sat ironically and lonely on Old Stone Church Road in the Deep South. Suddenly my then two-year-old daughter voiced the words that apparently reverberate in America from time to time: "Mosque…scary."
A man named Abdul had invited our family to join the Muslim community in the Clemson area for a veritable potluck dinner. Southern fried hospitality meets hijabs, thawbs and take-your-shoes-off. Only God knew what the scene would actually be like.
I was already downloading the church fellowship halls of my evangelical youth: utilitarian fold-out tables; rickety metal chairs; desperate parents imploring their children to eat something nutritious before inhaling the sugar, running around mad and spinning into orbit within sacred space like some Pentecostal. Abdul did say there would be Algerians, Egyptians, Palestinians, Lebanese, Turks, Pakistanis and Indians. So the casserole selections were certain to be noticeably, if not deliciously, different from those famed potlucks I treasured.
Earlier that year, in March, after a bit of righteous persistence, I initiated an informal Christian-Muslim dialogue at the same mosque with five Muslim men. In no particular order: the middle-aged Algerian chemical engineer with the vintage Osama-like beard; the Ghanaian Ph.D. student with the warm, infectious smile; two young graduate students, one Turkish, one Moroccan, the Moroccan wearing a black jacket a la Grease; and an African-American from North Carolina, a Baptist who converted to Islam in the Bronx in his late teens. My first table experience with Muslims, I will not too soon forget how veggie pizzas from Domino's efficiently calmed this Christian minister's shaky nerves.
Wanting in some way to share these new friendships with my family and hoping to model, albeit feebly, how to begin to move beyond – or through – barriers, I was now blessed by the seeds of a possible mutiny right there in the mosque parking lot. Naturally, I should've known better; two-year-olds are intuitively skilled in the fine arts of how to throw a passionate but sustained rebellion. Take note, Arab Spring, wherever you are.
Intense, and with a burgeoning dramatic sensibility, my daughter vocalized the words again for all the minivan to hear – this time, drawing out the mosque scaaarrry for full theatrical affect and then smiling almost perversely. Honestly, what the hell was going on?
In a parental flash-forward I saw our girl wandering around in the mosque, eyes wide and lips pursed, uttering those two words to any Muslim man or woman in unfortunate earshot. I pictured the mosque leadership scurrying about in an absolute quandary. Like those Israeli guards upon seeing a red balloon, with Yasser Arafat's face on it, flying past a West Bank checkpoint in Elia Suleiman's outstanding film Divine Intervention.
Seemingly coming from out of nowhere and packaged together so succinctly, her words had arrived – and three years before the Park 51 hubbub near Ground Zero in New York City and the arson attack at an Islamic center in Tennessee. Like a preternatural journalist, our cute little thing was on the scene, reporting live from the American religious front, mouthing prescient syllables ahead of her time. In fact, her proclamation foreshadowed Rep. Peter King's congressional hearings on Islamic radicalization in American mosques by approximately four years. We had a prophetess among us.
Meanwhile, my wife and I simply looked at each other, aghast. Is this really happening? We had taken special religious and cultural care to brief our children on this new experience, and this is the thanks we get? I remember feeling caught in the vortex of a genuinely surreal moment, overwhelmed by a thick and uniquely American irony – democratic ideals and religious pluralism, mocking us. And in a foreign-made minivan, for God's sake.
"Kate, sweetheart, no, no, no, it's not scary. Why are you saying that?"
"Mask. Scaaarrry…"
You have got to be kidding me. Wow. Whew. What an unknowingly clever two-year-old, a real unsuspecting jokester.
For my wife and me, one word had sent relief washing over us. "Dear," we said, "it's a mosque, not a mask."
We were certainly lost in transliteration and left to wonder why language always plays the cruelest games.
But, of all seasons, leave it to the Halloween season – in the hands of an innocent child – to bring us some much needed light. There was our sweet daughter, giggling, babbling in our faces, showing us the darker things that haunt those of us who are the less innocent children. No matter our adult view of the world, no matter our robust accumulation of knowledge, no matter our unparalleled access to this knowledge, no matter our supposed spiritual development - willful prejudice, suspicious ignorance and irrational fear often have a knack for keeping us exactly where we are: sitting in the parking lot, going on and on like a two-year-old.
In Christian-Muslim relations it goes without saying: not all mosque doors, or church doors, are created equal. We should continue to be, if anything, realists about the real barriers. Still, notwithstanding the predictable ones, it is the unforeseen ones – internal and far more frightening – that can make getting through each other's doors a small act with a high degree of difficulty.
This story is, of course, only the beginning of what our family learned on a very eventful Saturday night that did not include a college football game in dear old Clemson. Stepping inside that mosque and moving beyond the masks and the words we've misunderstood had a remarkable effect: it started authentically pushing away a lot of the so-called scariness.

The deadly Boston blizzard of 1978.
-- telling us that that may be the closest thing that the region has seen to this.
Since those days and a black and white photos pictures from that storm which crippled the city of Boston almost to the day 35 years ago.
That's stormed out more than two feet of snow and it lashed the city with hurricane force winds very similar to what we're expecting that seen this time around.
Cars were buried under rivers and snow the entire city was just frozen in police for the most part.
And again the bay state governor ordered all vehicles.
Off the road they don't want to see a repeat of this because what -- people literally got snowed under in their vehicles.
And some of those people died in those cars that is a very.
Stark memory for a lot of people in the Boston area they want to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Joining us now is a man who remembers that quite well radio talk show host Howie Carr he covered the blizzard of 78 for the Boston Herald -- -- -- how you -- I -- Hi -- I'm done doing just fine I want wondered how I'm gonna get all the radio station note tonight -- my show runs stole seven and -- much both the drive a car rapper or walk in the afternoon.

Coshocton woman sentenced for "extreme case" of child abuse
Written by AVC NewsMother to serve 12 years for leaving 3-month-old with burns and broken bones
COSHOCTON, Ohio -- A Coshocton woman was sentenced on Monday for what child welfare workers have called an "unusual, extreme case" of child abuse.
Judge Robert Batchelor sentenced 20-year-old Kelsey Starkey to serve 12 years in prison in connection with two counts of felony child endangerment. Court documents indicate that 3-month-old Christopher Jon Starkey was subjected to a string of violent acts in late January that left him with 12 fractured ribs, a broken leg, extensive bruising to the head and face, burns to the face and genitals, and a liver injury.
Officials from Coshocton County Children's Services said that, while the family had been involved with the agency before, there had been no signs of danger to the child before January's incidents. They added that baby C.J. - now 10 months old - is doing very well in the custody of an out-of-state relative.
In June, Kelsey's husband, 22-year-old Christopher Starkey, changed a previous "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea to "guilty" on three felony child endangerment charges. His sentencing has not yet been scheduled.

Thread: how careful do i have to be?
June 23rd, 2013 05:56 PM #1
how careful do i have to be?
I know this probably sounds a bit silly, but we're ttc at the moment and during the 2ww i'm always worried about my 15month old climbing all over me and pressing or kicking etc on my stomach. Its just normal, active toddler behaviour and i don't want to tell her she can't touch me or anything but i do worry that if there is a baby in there, it might be harmed. Obviously, once the baby gets bigger it has less padding and is therefore more vunerable, but how careful do i need to be in early pregnancy with a rambunctious toddler around?

Not at all careful until you have a visible bump and palpable baby, and even then... not that careful.

I'm no doctor, but I agree with Blade. It'd take a hell of a wallop from your toddler to cause an unborn baby any harm.

There is no way your toddler would be able to harm your unborn baby at any time during pregnancy. It is well protected in your womb. The only time the baby could be injured is if you fell down a flight of stairs, got in a car accident, someone beat you, or some other traumatic incident like that. You yourself would have to be pretty seriously hurt for the baby to be affected.

Thank you guys- i really do feel a bit silly for asking! Thanks for putting my mind at rest though, that's one less thing to worry about!

NVIDIA's next generation graphics card based on the Fermi architecture, whose consumer variant is internally referred to as GF100 got to business at the CES event being held in Las Vegas, USA, performing live demonstration of its capabilities. The demo PC is housing one such accelerator which resembles the card in past sightings. Therefore it is safe to assume this is what the reference NVIDIA design of GF100 would look like. The accelerator draws power from 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors. It has no noticeable back-plate, a black PCB, and a cooler shroud with typical NVIDIA styling. The demo rig was seen running Unigine Heaven in a loop showing off the card's advanced tessellation capabilities in DirectX 11 mode. The most recent report suggests that its market availability can be expected in March, later this year. No performance figures have been made public as yet. A short video clip after the break. Source: PCWatch
This is good very good. Im sitting here staring at my GTX 260's wondering if they should go on the [FS] forum because of the proof Ive just seen.
wondering if those at nvidia's marketing team uses 3 years to choose what kind of breakfast they are going to buy. Because their naming schemes change every year.... So is GF100 entry ? best? lowend.... uhm ? Gj getting something to show this round Nvidia!
GF100 is an internal codename. Terms like G92, GT200, or GF100, aren't meant to be marketing names anyway.
Why? you'll still have to wait til March. I have as follows - TNT-2 Geforce 3 Geforce 5600 Geforce 6600 gt Geforce 6800 OC Geforce 8600 gts Geforce 8800 gts 320 Geforce 9800 gt 1 gig GTX 260 216 GTX 285 SSC No plans on selling. When the new card comes out I may buy.
Codenames aren't meant for consumers anyway. They won't feature on specs sheets or boxes. Hence they can call their stuff whatever they want to, and that would still be a non-issue to the consumer.
Anyone else notice that it looks like they got 3x pci-e connector wires going to 2x the pci-e plugs?(note the number of yellow 12v wires) Something is fishy here...
No, nothing fishy. The 8-pin connector is an internode (a single line, in the middle of which is a connector).
If you say so. Just seems ot me this is one of the early samples, and has high power draw. 8-pin power only requires 3x 12v wires, not 6, as is shown. No big deal..jsut means maybe production cards will be better/faster. but yeah, I hear what you are saying...from 8-pin, a 6-pin hangs. But then why didn't they use just the single cable? Good idea of length here too...that's a Raven RV01 case.
Capiche? It's just the way the PSU's cables were designed. The "second" connector in the diagram above is what went into the card in the picture above. There's nothing more to it than this.
To me, it does, dependant on the PSU used. Meh...just something to talk about......clearly this is not a full production card, as there are a few months left, almost, until release.
I'll say it again, it does not make a difference. Besides they are not doing a performance evaluation there, so there's no scope to even speculate on something this trivial.
interesting being that there were some rumors regarding the tessalation capabilities. @ the naming scheme I think this is supposed to be the 10th rendition of the geforce series hence the gf on the tag, which means they are more than likely countign the gt200 as the geforce 9 onmiting the 9800's as the g92 first bore an 8800 designation. it likly means nvidia is returnign to a normal card progression internal naming scheme. speculation truly especially by cores without revision series were only up to 6 on the gt200 which would make the gf100 the 7th.
Probably just for better cable mangement. I've done that with some of my cables. Tom's Hardware on Fermi - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ces-2010-fermi,2527-4.html He's claiming Fermi to be faster than HD5970 and that's from a Nvidia guy this time. Real or not, it's one step closer to being an official statement, not rumors or fakes (now, they really were fakes?). I'll chose to believe him, because some months ago I made my own calculations based on the specs and reached that conclusion, as some of you may remember. We'll see, but I'm optimistic.
i was joking around As my head gets dizzy by knowing whats what. And now it seems ati is doing the same, still not as hard as nvidia's naming have been lately, but they have started so they might follow footsteps
I too thought it looked like 3 wires at first until I looked again. It is only two 1 6pin + 1 8 pin. Just must be the way they had the wires situated. Also did anyone notice that the guy running the demo happened to keep switching the modes during the really intense tessellation parts? It was either him doing it or that is the way they had it set up to run. I the parts that it did run with full Tessellation it did look a little choppy at times. I do think that it looked a little smoother than my single 5870..... but not too much. Not enough to make me really impressed. So let's say for a second that this thing really does beat a 5870 by 36%. Well I wouldn't be surprised it only is coming out half a year later. If you ask me that number wouldn't be that impressive for 6 months later. But I still like the idea of the technology that they are using. I also think it will be a great addition to the world of GPU's. It will keep things moving forward that is for sure! But If I was that confident with it's performance and I were Nvidia. I would have left the FPS counter on the bottom and the top..... still left out there for all to see. But they didn't makes me wonder.

A bug in Apple iPhones was discovered that could relay iMessages to strangers' phones.
The flaw meant that stolen iPhones would continue to receive iMessages that were sent by and delivered to victims who used iMessages on a replacement device.
iMessages was an Apple proprietary system for iOS 5 and an alternative to SMSes that allowed iPhones to send text and multimedia for free over a data network.
The flaw, first reported by users on web forums after the October release of iOS 5, appeared to bind a victims' iMessages to an iPhone once the service was activated.
Phone numbers and Apple IDs must be registered to use the service, a requirement that may contribute to the privacy breach.
The bug persisted even after a firmware restore, Ars Technica reported.
Apple has remained silent on the issue.
The effect of the flaw was graphically demonstrated by Gismodo after it published a series of raunchy text messages and lewd photographs sent and received by an Apple engineer who fell victim to the flaw.
It appeared the engineer inserted and later removed his SIM card while repairing a customers' iPhone.
The iMessages continued to be received after the iPhone's firmware was restored.
iOS security expert and senior forensic scientist with viaForensics, Jonathan Zdziarski, told Ars Technica the flaw may result if iPhones read from a cache which contained a user's Apple ID and phone number that was built when iMessage was first registered.
He said this could explain why the bug persisted after a firmware restoration.

- Absolutely Fabulous Heater. Review by pinkblot
Quality Price Value This heater really impressed me. Right out of the box I could see the quality. I had to wait a day to go to a hardware store to buy a hose and the proper fittings but once I got it up and running I was so happy with it. It keeps my small finished attic apartment nice and toasty and I only have it on level 1, settings are from 1 - 5, at setting five the flame stays on. The thermostat works well and I am keeping my living space at a comfortable seventy five degrees.
The built-in fan can be set to off, continuous or to come on automatically when the heather is up to heat. The legs that come with the heater were easy to attach and work perfectly. You can either attach this heater to a wall or use the included legs. I am really happy with this purchase and I got a fantastic deal from RuralKing.com
I had searched the Internet far and wide in looking for a heater like this. The other option I looked at did not include a fan or legs and once you bought those additional items the price skyrocketed. The Mr Heater 20,000 BTU heater was the perfect solution for my heating needs and the heater only takes up a small amount of space (respectively), and it is clean and stylish looking, practical and easy to use. I put a T fitting on the gas pipe that went to my natural gas drier and was off and running.
It got cold a few days after I had my heater set up. I noticed frost on the roofs of the neighbor's houses but my little attic apartment was nice and toasty ^_^ . One of the best purchases I have ever made.(Posted on 10/9/12)

THE MAROON ESTABLISHED 1923 • "FOR A GREATER LOYOLA" VOL. 83, NO. 23 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY NEW ORLEANS FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2005 Wildes makes appearance on national TV By Kevin Corcoran Staff writer People should take Terri Schiavo's case as a cue to think more carefully about the end of their own lives and under what circumstances they would like to die, the Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., university president, told Ted Koppel on "Nightline" last Thursday. "Nightline" invited Wildes to join political correspondent Cokie Roberts and television critic Hal Boedeker for a discussion on the aftermath of the Terri Schiavo controversy. The discussion was designed to explore the range of consequence the incident has had. While Roberts discussed the case's political implications in Congress and Boedeker criticized the sensationalist coverage of the case on cable news, Wildes spoke about the impact this case has had and what impact it should have had on the way our society thinks about end-of-life medical treatment. Wildes is an expert on bioethics. He has researched and taught on the subject at Loyola College in Maryland, University of Houston, Georgetown University Medical Center and Georgetown University as well as written a book on the subject, "Moral Acquaintances: Methodology in Bioethics." Wildes had spoken on television before about the Schiavo case and other cases like it, and this was his fourth appearance on "Nightline." "One thing that I think we consistently underestimate is how much medical technology and the advances of medicine has changed the way we die in the United States," said Wildes, estimating that 85 percent of peo- NIGHTLINE/ ABC NEWS The Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., university president, discusses end-of-life care with Ted Koppel on ABC's Nightline. The show aired Thursday, March 31. Alumna wins Pulitzer Prize By Chuck Alexander Staff writer In terms of prestige, William Shakespeare and John James Audubon have just been taken down a notch. Alumna Annalyn Swan and her husband, art critic Mark Stevens, received the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for biography for their profile of abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning, which beat out biographies on Shakespeare ("Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare" by Stephen Greenblatt) and Audubon ("Under a Wild Sky: John James Audubon and the Making of the Birds of America" by William Souder). Swan is the second Loyola alumni to receive the Pulitzer, the most prestigious award in journalism and Lampus mourns loss By Sarah Castagnetta Staff writer POPE joilk PAUL II 1 9 0 5 News of the pope's death last Saturday gripped the world in a whirlwind of media clips and remembrances of the Polish pontiff with a soft spot for children. Loyola, too, greeted the news with immediate action and various emotions. The Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., university president, announced the pontiff's death to Loyola through an e-mail to the university. He described John Paul D as a man of "deep, personal integrity" who spoke his mind regardless of other people's views. University Ministry, along with the Jesuit Center, COMPASS and the Student Government Association, also helped mourn the loss with a memorial service for the pope on Tuesday. They also tied white cloth to the trees in the Peace Quad and distributed white ribbons to stu- dents and faculty to wear. White is the traditional color of the Church and symbolizes life and hope. The pope's death stimulated conversations of acceptance, reflection and wonder among students and faculty. According to the Rev. Peter Bernardi, S.J., associate professor of religious studies, the death of Pope John Paul D was a lesson to mankind. "1 think the pope gave a lesson in courage and patience in the way that he faced his infirmities," Bernardi wrote in an e-mail. "He chose not to go to the hospital at the end, but to prepare for death at home." In an e-mail to The Maroon, Wildes pointed out that the Pope's death is also a new beginning. "The pope's death, like anyone's death, is a loss. But, it is also a time of joy because he has gone to eternal life with God," Wildes wrote. John Paul II Timeline • May 18.1920: Karol Josef Wojtyla born in Wadowice, Poland. •Nov. 1,1946: Wojtyla ordained in Catholic Church. • 1958: Wojtyla named auxiliary bishop of Krakow. • 1962-65: Participated in the Second Vatican Council. •Dec. 30,1963: Appointed Archbishop of Krakow by Pope Paul VI. •1967: Pope Paul VI makes Wojtyla a cardinal. •Oct. 16,1978: Wojtyla elected Pope; assumes the name John Paul 11. •May 13,1981: A Turkish radical attempts to assassinate John Paul 11. • 2003: Vatican confirms that the Pope has Parkinson's Disease. •April 2,2005: Pope dies of septic shock and heart failure. Cardinals to meet, decide on new pope By Kelly Brown Staff writer With the death of Pope John Paul D, the Catholic Church will soon turn its attention to electing a new spiritual leader for the world's approximately one billion Catholics. The College of Cardinals has selected April 18 as the beginning of the conclave, which is the process of Papal selection. This schedule follows the traditional time frame of 15 to 20 days after a pope's death. The interim time is used for funeral arrangements and a nine-day period of mourning. Although there are 183 cardinals, only 117 will cast votes. Pope Paul VI stated that only cardinals under the age of 80 may vote for the succession. There are 118 cardinals eligible, but Cardinal Jamie Sin of the Philippines is too ill to travel. Fifty-eight of the cardinals are from Europe, 21 are from Latin America, 14 are from North America, and there are 11 each from Africa and Asia. The word "conclave" comes from the Latin words "cum clave," meaning "with key." This refers to both the secretive nature of the process and the fact that while elections are taking place all members of the electorate are locked within the Sistine Chapel. However, Pope John Paul D modified the rules of the conclave during his papacy. During previous elections, cardinals stayed in the Vatican. John Paul II constructed a hostel specifically for the conclave. In addition, while the Vatican will continue to use the traditional white smoke to signal the successful election of a pope, it will add bells so that observers are not confused by the black smoke used to signal an unsuccessful election.Ideally, popes are elected with a twothirds majority. Cardinals vote twice each morning and twice each afternoon, breaking every three days if no pope has been selected. If a pope is not chosen in 30 elections, a simple majority - in this case, 59 votes - is enough for selection. D See NIGHTUNE, page 2 D- See POPE, page 3 D See PULITZER, page 2 D See CONCLAVE, page 3
