Wednesday morning found many people checking to see if they had suffered any storm damage during the night. While the rain was very welcome, some people did have a mess to clean up. This picture shows a large Oak tree that was blown over and landed in the Kent Baptist Church parking lot. Luckily no buildings or the church was damaged.

Finally wearing my new H&M top before it starts getting warm again. Do you ever have epiphany moments when planning outfits? Like you're sitting there brushing your teeth and all of a sudden you're like, "Oh snap! That will totally work!" Well that's how this outfit came about. I decided to dress down my top with the boyfriend jeans, but then dress it back up with the heels and more dramatic make up. I liked how it turned out.
What do you think?

What's the best option when transfering games to the HDD, raw, optimised or extracted, and why.
Depends on your needs. They each have benefits.Originally Posted by Mister Bombi
Raws are good if space isn't a problem, plus all you have to do is drag and drop it in the right folder
Compressed is a good choice to save space but it doesn't work with all games. I've had several games refuse to play when compressed
Followed the USB Loader GX guide just a few days ago. All my Gamecube games used to work, both from Neogamma (from a disc) and from USB Loader GX (from the USB). Now, every time I boot up a game, again either from disc or USB, the Wii does one of four:
1. Shuts down
2. Shows a black screen
3. DIOS MIOS logo comes up, saying "a! a! error app_entry is not within the apploader area"
4. DIOS MIOS logo comes up with an error with something about a fatal error, didn't happen in a while so I can't remember that
What should I do? Reinstall DIOS MIOS? Reinstall some other IOS? Completely restore my NAND backup? Something else?
*Totally forgot to mention that the same backups on the USB, as well as backups on disc AND original Gamecube discs, used to work beforehand. Only original Gamecube discs actually work now with NeoGamma, all Wii games work though if that even matters.

Here is Crediar's own FAQ page
Verify your loader settings and turn off things like NMM/Force-Prog, NMM/Force-Prog can cause black screens
Try to install the game again (delete the old folder before)
Try to use a game version that matches your region
Some USB HDD have issues when you power off the wii with the power button when you are playing GC games
Try using the Shortcut functions:
R, Z, Start: reboot Wii
R, Z, down d-pad, B: Shutdown Wii
You need to set GC Pad Hook to ON in USB Loader GX
If you are still having issues try re-installing DIOS MIOS 2.6 with Wad Manager 1.7 use IOS236
and update to R1205_IOS222-249-250.7z
Check your GC settings, try to keep it default or global.
Also try removing the GFG files in the GX app.

Thats my personal preference/recommendation as long as you've got the space for it.Originally Posted by Mister Bombi
Question: I'm backing up my Tales of Symphonia game, which is two discs, and I'm doing it via the install function of USB Loader GX 3.0, but when I try to install the second disc (I installed the 2nd disc first actually, so I'm having problems intalling the 1st disc), it tells me the game is already installed, so the question would be... how do I back up that 1st disc ¿? (the 2nd disc works great btw)
Use R1205_IOS222-249-250.7z It has new HBC and latest DIOS MIOS 2 disc support or Use the latest DMToolBox (0.3 or higher) to install your two disc games.
I did not use GX to install the 2 disc yet, so I'm not sure....

Orlando Science Center's exhibit halls feature a vast array of exciting interactive experiences! Learning has never been so fun with these hands on educational exhibits. From down to earth explorations in natural science to the high-tech world of simulation technology, everywhere you look, you'll find educational and entertaining opportunities to explore, experiment, and discover.
Traveling Exhibits
The Orlando Science Center is home to some of the most exciting traveling exhibits in the country. When these exhibits are in town they are only here for a limited time, so don't miss the opportunity to see them!
Exhibit Halls
As great as our traveling exhibits are, there are some exhibits that are the staple of the Orlando Science Center. NatureWorks will have you up close and personal with some of nature's most fascinating reptiles. At DinoDigs, you'll step back into the prehistoric age. Discover the dynamic forces and systems that shape our Earth, as well as other planets in Our Planet, Our Universe. Explore such concepts as electricity and magnetism, lasers, soundwaves, and nature's forces in Science Park. No visit to the Science Center is complete without a trip to KidsTown, an interactive world dedicated to our smaller explorers.
Science Live! Programs
What's the difference between a great visit to a Science Center and a memorable visit? Live programs. Our exhibits are designed to inspire curiosity and exploration, our Science Live! programs are designed to bring the exhibits to life. Whether it's a show in the Digital Adventure Theater or a one-to-one interaction with a volunteer at the Crosby Observatory, our live programs create the kind of impact that can last a lifetime.
Science Stations
Looking for little more "hard science" in your next Science Center visit? Look no further than the Science Stations located throughout the facility. Science Stations are a cross between exhibits and live programs in that they're exhibits that typically include a live program to truly bring the experience to life. Science Stations provide an in-depth look at their respective subject matter in an entertaining way. Be sure to check your program schedule to see which Science Stations are conducting demonstrations on the day of your next visit.
Crosby Observatory
The aluminum-domed Crosby Observatory atop Orlando Science Center houses Florida's largest publicly accessible refractor telescope. This one-of-a-kind custom-built telescope, along with several smaller scopes, are available at selected times for solar and night sky viewing.

There's a new addition to Orlando Science Center's KidsTown exhibit hall!
Imagination Playground, an innovative playspace concept by Rockwell Group, is a portable playground made of lightweight foam pieces. Loose parts of unique shapes and sizes foster creativity and design, allowing children to build anything they might imagine. Children of all ages can enjoy creating countless settings and scenarios, animals, robots and more with the kid-friendly, eco-friendly foam.
Through Imagination Playground, deep learning concepts such as critical thinking and problem solving are developed and strengthened. Little ones have fun while also "building" on skills that will give them a competitive advantage in school and one day, a career. As your child imagines, designs and creates, they develop an understanding of balance and other STEM concepts.

An incident report by Deputy Shannon Moseley states he was dispatched to the community of James off Highway 18 East in reference to a theft. When he arrived at the scene, he met with the complainants, who explained they were working on restoration of the home Feb. 23 and left their tools when they quit for the day.
The homeowner returned Sunday to find that tools belonging to him and the contractor were missing, as well as the contractor's entire enclosed trailer full of tools. The estimated value of the tools and trailer was $60,000.
Investigator Kenny Allen said he got involved in the case about 10 p.m. Feb. 24, and he estimates the theft took place sometime Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
The offender, Brian Mitchell Crosby, turned himself into the Sheriff's Department Feb. 26 and was charged with burglary, theft by taking, burglary forced entry - residence, and larceny, according to the report of his arrest.

Just in case you didn't get enough hockey with NHL Series 32, McFarlane Toys is turning back the clock and commemorating the best goal scoring seasons of two of the preeminent players in the NHL. These two additional NHL exclusives are only available at Wal-Mart Canada.
In 1992, in his rookie season, Teemu Selanne burst onto the NHL scene by scoring 76 goals, and forever cemented his name in NHL lore. That season he won the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie, and his total of 76 goals still stands to this day as the greatest goal scoring season for a rookie in NHL history. Selanne's figure can be seen in his white Winnipeg Jets uniform from that unforgettable 1992-1993 season. Included with the figure is a replica puck commemorating this accomplishment.
Sidney Crosby was tagged with the nickname "The Next One" for a reason. Coming out of Juniors, he was regarded as one of the best hockey prospects in the history of the NHL. Selected first overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins, Crosby has certainly not disappointed. He has won the Hart Trophy, the Art Ross Trophy, and most importantly, he won a Stanley Cup for the Pittsburgh Penguins, becoming the youngest Captain to win the Cup. This figure celebrates the 2009-2010 season of Crosby where he tallied the highest number of goals in a single season for his career (51). Crosby is wearing the black home uniform and included is a replica puck commemorating the season and event.
Both of these exclusive are available at Wal-Mart Canada. Don't forget to check out the rest of NHL Series 32, also in stores this month!
Stay tuned to www.mcfarlane.com for the most current news and information about this series and other upcoming releases from McFarlane Toys.

If they would have written an honest apology just like they were ordered on Day 1, they could have avoided this whole mess.
UK Courts still not happy with Apple's statement, orders them to pay Samsung's legal fees
Apple's last court-ordered apology to Samsung still wasn't enough to appease the UK courts, so they've now been ordered to pay Samsung's legal fees from parking tickets to Porsches for all the lawyers. Philip Elmer-DeWitt of Fortune has the details.
Ordered to post a two-paragraph corrective on its website and in the British press, Apple not only dragged its heels, but it broke up the required paragraphs and interspersed language of its own devising -- including a bit about a judge ruling that the Samsung Galaxy Tab was "not as cool" as the iPad -- language that was, according to Samsung, false and misleading.
Fortune has more quotes and excerpts from both Apple and the court via the link below below as well as the complete text of the Apple issued statement that was rejected by the courts.
So, is the court being too fussy or is Apple being too flippant?

UK Courts still not happy with Apple's statement, orders them to pay Samsung's legal fees
APPLE WAS NEVER ordered to write APOLOGY .... DUDE... just a statement... GOT IT....!!!
I was working for Korean companies for over 20 years... bin there many times... they think... they are the greatest in everything ...but only, what they are really good in... is: eating dogs and copy-cats ... believe me ...DUDE
Yeah, sure I can see your point. But this is also a great example (amongst many) as to why we kicked the shit out of the UK and their beloved queen and declared our independence. They still haven't got over it. It's no different than the kid who used to get bullied, turning into a wife beating cop.
How so? This isn't Samsung making them write an apology, it's the UK Courts so if you want to point fingers, point it at them.
Update: UK courts not happy with anything, ever. Orders Apple to help them quit being so bitchy.
If your ordered to write an apology it's not honest or genuine anyway. What difference does it make how it's written? Foreigners and their fruity laws.
The other sides' costs are lawyers fees. Court fees are a relatively small amount, and judges get paid a salary that isn't affected by how many cases they do or the rulings they make. This ruling means Apple will have to pay 70-80% of Samsung's lawyers' fees, with Samsung covering the rest.

My goodness. I found this just in time. We are about to move to a new State and my son loves puzzles. Sometimes just the pieces. Sometimes just the boards. and Sometimes he even likes to put the puzzle together. I had no idea how I could pack them so that they would be nice to open again. I was even considering wrapping them in saran wrap! This is much for clever, and permanent, for that matter. And he will love putting them and dumping them out. dumping is great fun.

I tried, and may I mention, LOVED this pin today for some toddler puzzles - the ones with handles on them. After adding 2 - 3 inches to the width of the felt, I glued the pocket down gathering it at the bottom. This left plenty of room for the pieces. Awesome idea! Thank you, Allison!

I'm due March 15th. After a year of trying to get (and stay) pregnant we are more than relieved and excited to finally be at this point. This baby has made me unbelievably sick. Lets just say the toilet and my face have become well acquainted. I'll find out what I'm having in 3 weeks….and then the sewing frenzy begins. Literally.

By Nitrox from USA on 2011-07-19 22:20:10Things I liked:Weight, feel and power. This rifle hits a 3/4" piece of plywood and continues on. When I first purchased this rifle I could not keep a consistent group at 20'. Come to find out the scope shipped with this rifle was damaged. I replaced the scope with a 4x32 leapers and after finishing a 500 count tin of crosman premiers off the rifle started keeping consistent groups. I was able to keep a dime size group at 50'. Go figure ... Scope or break in, I don't know.
Things I would have changed:The trigger on this rascal is a bear, at first I had never felt such a hard pull. It seems after shooting 500 rounds/pellets through it the trigger has relaxed some. It's still a hard pull but tolerable.
What others should know:This is not a high dollar air rifle, it does have a lot of the capabilities of the higher priced rifles though. You are going to have to spend some time with this rifle so you both will have to get to know one another. This rifle can and will perform along side the higher end rifles, just don't expect to tear this thing out of the box and start shooting groups the size of a dime at a 100' If your looking for a budget priced quality air rifle for yard critters, this rifle will work.

By ARIF from India on 2012-06-05 10:14:22Things I liked:I purchased Winchester 1028 Air Rifle by viewing it on the Pyramid Air Web-site and i got the product in fine running condition, but my experience after getting the Air Rifle is little bit wrong because it is Heavy and the Grip is thick to grip for firing, the Accuracy is good and the impact too. But the Grouping i am not getting with the Scope.

The Mars rover Curiosity has discovered organic compounds on Mars. The evidence may be a sign of extraterrestrial life but does not yet support any conclusions. But for the sake of this discussion, assume that microbial life is about to be discovered on Mars.
1. How important is such a discovery? Will most folks see this as a big deal?
2. How does it change the conversation between atheists and religious apologists?
3. What are the implications for science and reason, theology and dogma, and the word of "holy" books?
4. Would we see Martian Life Deniers join the ranks of Evolution Deniers, Climate Change Deniers, and Holocaust Deniers?
I'm curious to hear the thoughts of the Think Atheist community.
Views: 651
What I think is more interesting is that if we find microbial life and it is DNA based, that we may discover that DNA is the way it is because there is no other way it could be. There have been experiments done to attempt to improve DNA or to use different bases. Only three new bases work with a high degree if reliability and even then it still isn't as good as ACGT bases. If we find DNA based life, it my seem like somehow it is related to life on earth, but the reality may be that DNA based life is the only way that life can exist.
That would be a monumental discovery in and of itself.
No impact it would only strengthen their beliefs ....well perhps those who have had alot of doubts on religion will probably no longer believe ....but to those that are really crazy will only take it as info to strengthen their beliefs either by saying that it's the devil trying to temp their faith or that god put them their and its part of gods plan.. so I see … no real victory for anyone
I got to admit I was dripping with anticipation for the hyped release of the reported "big news".
I am pretty disappointed with the official release though. I'm hoping to hear soon of the discovery of life past or present. Signs of ancient waters are promising, as is the presence of Carbon. Not sure why,but they seemed to play it off like it may have come from the rover itself.
Discovering life would be MEGA important. From a scientific point of view. I don't think it's possible to not see it as a big deal for anyone living in the modern world among today's technology.
It changes the conversation no doubt. It would disprove that this was all made for "MAN" for starters.
Don't really have a response to 3, except that somehow or somewhere I've read or heard that "holy books" claim that there is only life on Earth.
I can only envision extra-terrestrial life deniers with their foot in their mouth. I see a little cartoon in my head of a bible thumper, with his foot in his mouth, or one eating his little bishop hat or something, with a really funny caption. I'm looking forward to reading all the amended materials from the other deniers as it unfolds.
I guess that's my tuppence. All my opinion though and does not implicate nor represent the views of anyone else on "Think Atheist".
Thank You.
Thank you. That's funny.
Puts a smile on this atheist face.
It will have no impact. They will find some idiotic way to spin that as proof of god's amazing power.
It would have zero effect on theists. No matter what the reality or the evidence, they always find some way of deluding themselves into a belief that they have a savior who will allow them to transcend science and reason and go to Heaven.
Gallup's Mirror, let us be kind to one another. I am not your enemy.
I accept sincerely. Let's be friends. I admit, I took you for a Christian troll, and fired up the rhetorical artillery. Cancel red alert.
If you read my status page, you also read about how difficult I find it that the atheist 'stance' (if one there be) seems to be all intellectual rigour and argument and sarcasm and (it seemed to me as a Christian) anger and bitterness.
I adore intellectual rigor, enjoy a good argument, appreciate sarcasm as satire, and rarely feel angry with the rare exception of things like Kill the Gays. Beyond that, I'd rather go for a laugh, even if it's a bitter one, and especially at the expense of those who deserve it (such as the aforementioned Ugandans).
More flies with honey than with vinegar, remember? I don't mean we should dumb down the truth — but we should remember to be kind. (Or as the Bible puts it, LOL!, "speaking the truth in love").
I was going for ridiculous not unkind. Maybe the intestinal gnome thing was a bit over-the-top. I meant it sincerely though: I find belief in God as absurd as belief in gnomes. Tell me you've discovered one or the other and I'll say: show me. The presentation of truth ceases at that moment and as far as I'm concerned the presenter's invariably fallacious argument is now fair game.
I think I increasingly identify more as a humanist than as an atheist, although both words can describe the same phenomenon; one is an absence, one is a positive orientation. I know that this is my own quirk, but please try to understand.
I consider myself a Humanist as well, although I'm also an atheist. I don't think absence is the opposite of a positive, however. The end of something harmful is positive. And superstition is very harmful.
1. finding life on Mars would be amazing and a big deal.
2. I cant see how it would change religious views, dinosaur boned didn't do it, cant see how that would.
3. again, i cant see much change between science and religion, though i would hope that it would boost funding in space programmes.
4. yup, i think many people would be in dis belief while others would attempt to further mould their ever more incompatible beliefe structure around it.
On a side note, based on what I have learnt from looking into the topic, I think that if evidence of life was found on Mars It would be more of a surprise to find that its life wasn't related to ours on earth.
It would more likely be that our early life came from there or vice versa, rather than it coming from outside the solar system or evolving seperatly on its own on a younger Mars with no cross contamination from earth.

Avid collectors since 1976, our Antique, Vintage and Real Photo postcards are hand chosen for their unique qualities that reflect 150 years of U.S. and World History including Influential Pioneers, Family Ancestry, History of World Wars, Past Social Movements, Photography, Government Politics, Orphan Charities, Industrial Movements, State Insane Asylums, Religious Institutions and Educational Facilities.
The collection and study and of old postcards is the third most collectible hobby in the world, following coins and stamps. Before telephones and texting, postcards proved to be a quick and inexpensive way to communicate between family members and business contacts. In 1907 alone, France produced 300 million postcards, Germany; One billion; England; 600 million and the U.S.; 800 million.
Early postcard publishers had the freedom to convey Political and Social messages through printed illustrations and photographs which influenced the population through underlying messages and themes. These included Child Labor Laws, Woman Suffragettes, Prohibition, Civil Rights and Government Elections. Their function proved much like Social Media services today, with space provided for the sender to relay recent news and personal comments. Many of these sad messages record Dust Bowl crop failures, deaths from Flu and Smallpox epidemics, unemployment and infant mortalities.
Did you know that Antique and Vintage postcards can be resourceful tools for Ancestry and Genealogy researchers? Family Surnames on each postcard are logged into our data base providing an efficient method for you to quickly locate correspondence exchanged between past Family members. When assembled, these cards provide detailed information that document timelines covering over 100 years of personal history.
Over the years we've uncovered postcard correspondence sent between famous families that include Aviator; Wilbur Wright, Inventor; Thomas Edison, Steel and Railroad Baron; J.P. Morgan, Thresher Inventor; Cyrus Hall McCormick, Actor; Humphrey Bogart, President; Ronald 'Dutch' Reagan, Sculptor; Malvina Hoffman and Accordionist; Myron Floren who starred on the Lawrence Welk show for over 30 years.
An interesting example of this includes several Vintage postcards that were penned by Ronald Reagan when he was employed during the 1950's by WHO Radio in Des Moines, Iowa. The correspondence was written while he and actress Ann Sheridan traveled by rail to California to report on the grand opening of Disneyland.
Our Antique, Vintage and Real Photo Post Cards date between 1867-1990's and feature historical topics that include; U.S. States and Cities, Downtown Views, Foreign, Real Photos, Black and Native Americana, U.S. and Foreign Military, World War I & II, Veterans, Transportation, Artist Signed, Comic & Humor, Asheville, Teich and Kropp Linens, Paul Finkenrath Series, Valentines, Santa Claus, National Holidays, Halloween, Best Wishes, Rare Novelties, Leathers, Embossed Reliefs, Political World History, U.S. Presidents, Foreign Leaders, Industries, Diners and Restaurants, Early Western Themes, Signed Mutoscope Pin-Ups, Arcade Exhibit Cards, Hand Made postcards, French Tinted RPPC's, Historical Social Movements, Prohibition, Orphanages, State Insane Asylums, Woman's Movements, Churches and Foreign Cathedrals, Baby-Boomer Memories, Camping, Recreation Scenes, National Parks, Rodeos, Post Offices, Libraries and Fraternal Orders.

Is Cardinal Mahony barred from public ministry? (UPDATED)
Grant Gallicho February 1, 2013 - 10:11am
Following the release of decades-old memos detailing Archdiocese of Los Angeles officials' efforts to conceal sexual-abuse cases, the new archbishop of L.A., Jose Gomez, has relieved Cardinal Roger Mahony of public duties and relieved auxiliary bishop Thomas Curry of his episcopal duties(.pdf). The archbishop's statement comes with the release of twelve thousand pages of diocesan personnel files related to the scandal. Gomez writes:
I cannot undo the failings of the past that we find in these pages. Reading these files, reflecting on the wounds that were caused, has been the saddest experience Ive had since becoming your Archbishop in 2011.My predecessor, retired Cardinal Roger Mahony, has expressed his sorrow for his failure to fully protect young people entrusted to his care. Effective immediately, I have informed Cardinal Mahony that he will no longer have any administrative or public duties. Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Curry has also publicly apologized for his decisions while serving as Vicar for Clergy. I have accepted his request to be relieved of his responsibility as the Regional Bishop of Santa Barbara.
Most reporting on this letter has characterized Gomez's decision as a suspension: Mahony is "barred from ministry," Jerry Filtau writes. Michael Sean Winters hails Gomez as morally courageous: "If you want to see what leadership looks like, re-read Archbishop Gomezs bold, succinct, unaffected, rigorous letter." Yet, according to diocesan spokesman Tod Tamberg, Mahony's daily routine will remain largely unchanged.
Mahony retired in March 2011. As Tamberg told me, since that time Mahony "has had no administrative duties." Tamberg explained that in response to Gomez's letter, the cardinal "is reducing his public profile," which included many speaking engagements, and that the cardinal "has cleared his calendar of confirmation appointments this year." Yet Mahony "remains a priest in good standing, and a cardinal of the church," Tamberg said. "He can celebrate the sacraments with no restrictions." (UPDATE 1: The Archdiocese of Los Angeles just released a statement clarifying that both Mahony and Curry remain bishops in good standing, "with full rights to celebrate the Holy Sacraments of the Church and to minister to the faithful without restriction." It's not clear why Mahony has canceled his confirmation appointments.)
So apparently the effect of this "suspension" will be limited to canceled speaking engagements and no more confirmations. Cardinal Mahony will have public duties, but they will be limited to celebrating the sacraments.
This is not to say Gomez's decision is insignificant. Indeed, as David Gibson has noted, it seems unprecedented. He links to Jerry Filtau's story citing Canon 357: "in those matters which pertain to their own person, cardinals living outside of Rome and outside their own diocese are exempt from the power of governance of the bishop of the diocese in which they are residing." David also points out that, given Mahony's status as a cardinal, Gomez must have had approval from Rome. Perhaps that status prevented Gomez from issuing an actual suspension. Whatever the case, Cardinal Roger Mahony may have been publicly fraternally corrected, but it's inaccurate to claim he's been barred from public ministry.
UPDATE 2: Cardinal Mahony has released his response to Archbishop Gomez, in which he defends himself by listing steps he took to address the sexual-abuse scandal, and calls out Gomez because "not once over these past years [since Gomez became archbishop of Los Angeles] did you ever raise any questions about our policies, practices, or procedures in dealing with the problem of clergy sexual misconduct involving minors." The cardinal is not wrong to point out that Gomez had plenty of time to review the files he now finds so scandalizing. But Mahony seems not to grasp what troubles people most about his role in the scandal. It's not that he just didn't do enough to protect minors from abuser-priests. It's that he worked to conceal abusers from civil authorities.
Commenting Guidelines
Jim P - yet, that doesn't always hold true. Link to just named bishop in Oregon:http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2013/02/portlands_new_catholic_... indicate that as bishop in Michigan, he did no more than Mahoney and now he has been promoted. Some of the ROTR hope that Sample will take on OCP - what some see as a liberal hymn making organization.What is of more concern given your comment are Sample's replies to certain questions:- "It's a very tricky minefield I have to navigate. There are competing interests at stake. First and foremost are the interests of those who have been victimized. But there are also the interests of the accused. We live in a system, in a church, where the accused has a right to defense. And, in civil cases, we have to be concerned for the patrimony of the diocese and the interests of the folks in the pews. Sometimes the bishop is in the middle. People are angry because he hasn't done enough for the victims or hasn't been just to the priest. Parishioners are mad because we've removed their beloved pastor and the charges couldn't possibly be true and why are they bringing it up 25 years later. And the issues of confidentiality and the right to privacy apply to victims as well."Sorry, does not appear that the victims will be his first priority; at best, he will balance; at worst, victims will get short shift.- "I've visited parishes where a priest has been removed and parishioners are all over the board. They're angry, confused. We need to explain the process to them and we can't afford to forget about the victims, they need to be informed and brought along through the process."Sorry, again, he appears to be caught in time warp - this is the response of a bishop in the 1990s. (BTW - Sample is a big advocate of the TLM and goes out of his way to support any and all TLM activities.)So, agree with your last statement but Sample is an example of someone who connects ROTR with a less than adequate response to sexual abuse. Also, keep in mind that Neuhaus publicly supported Maciel even when overwhelming evidence was present.
Carolyn Disco:Re: Terry McKiernan of BishopAccountability.org citing PR motives for Gomezs move:His statement could be interpreted as Gomez is trying to protect Mahony (whose name I have been misspelling as Mahoney)? Nah! I doubt it.I have reread Cardinal Mahony's statement which some bloggers think is whining and not appropriate. My take, for what it is worth, is that he is expressing true remorse, even though it is quite late.As a native of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, I note that Cardinal Bevilacqua went to his grave without one statement of remorse, nada, zilch. Dante would have a special place in the first third of his Divine Comedy for him.
When Mahony keeps seeing the conservative bus keep coming around and around in the next couple of weeks to run him over and over [see above] we may get to some real revelations and confrontations. .
Digression?????LaStampa reports today that the bishop of Lausannes, Geneva and Freiburg, Switzerland, who is also Rector of the Angelicum, has decreed that the SSPXers may not use Catholic churches and chapels to say Mass, etc. What I find most interesting is that this is the second instance in just one week of a highly placed bishop taking major action that one would have expected to come from the Vatican. In other words, it looks like the Vatican is instituting a change of policy: It is letting bishops (or at least the ones who agree with the Vatican) make their own decisions. Is the manner of this condemnation (a local act) inspired by a new reliance on PR to deflect criticism from the Pope and Vatican? Has the Vatican discovered that a negative decision taken by an underling might cause less of a ripple than one taken by the CDF or the Pope? If so, such a new policy might help to explain Apb. Gomez' actions.Or, miracle of miracles, has the Pope started to recognize the proper authority of the bishops and is letting them make decisions about their own dioceses?
Or maybe they are implementing the Decree Concerning the Pastoral Office of Bishops in the Church after 48 years.6. To bishops, as successors of the Apostles, in the dioceses entrusted to them, there belongs per se all the ordinary, proper, and immediate authority which is required for the exercise of their pastoral office.
Ann Olivier, Here is the complete text of the decree by Bishop Morerod (French only, sorry)http://www.diocese-lgf.ch/fileadmin/documents/Documents/Decrets/Decret_a... is presented as being more generally about who can be allowed to use Catholic Churches and Chapels rather than specifically about the SSPX (athough that may be the behind the scenes reason for it)The introduction says the bishops and terriorial abbots of Switzerland enact by this decree particular norms applicable to their dioceses or territorial abbeysWhich sounds as if it may be a joint action which each Swiss Bishop and Abbot is publishing separately to make it applicable throughout the whole of Switzerland, not just in Bishop Morerods diocese.
Ann ....IF you think there is a 'new' Vatican policy to let the next level make decisions ,what do you make of the new German A/B of the CDF saying "Vatican archbishop compares attacks on Catholic Church to pogroms against Jews' I guess we should be thankful his rhetoric didn't include Holocaust.
Ed,That remark is positively disgusting. I think the new prelate is Gerhard Mueller, formerly of Regensburg (or was it Munich?)Do you have a link? Will no one make clear that his remark must be withdrawn and an apology made? You don't have to scratch the surface too far, do you?
Ed --I don't see much similarity between bishops making up their own minds and the head of a dicastery saying something paranoid, but you might be right. Archbishop Muller does seem quite headstrong to me, and perhaps he's much inclined to sound off. And maybe that's why he got he job.I dunno. AB Gomez' action startled even Mahony. One explanation for the mini=turmoil I haven't yet seen floated is that the Pope might be losing his grip. If that's so, there could be all sorts of currents ad counter-currents roiling in the Vatican and the hierarchy as efforts are made to consolidate power before he leaves us. Who knows. And isn't it sad how the secrecy of the Vatican inspires all sorts of conspiracy theories, like the one I just articulated. Sigh.
It seems to me that there is a possibility for substantial common ground between church conservatives and church liberals on this issue of the sex abuse crisis and what must be done.I agree.
Claire--I would like to think that, but you can't find the attacks on Archbishop Gomez in here, as a member of Opus Dei, very encouraging, can you?
Nicholas Clifford's conjecture at 5:11pm strikes me as the most likely, because it's the most cynical, but it doesn't matter: Abp Gomez is now on people's radar as a potential "good guy", so to speak. It all depends on what he does in the future. Even if he's playing a role, as long as playing a role means bowing to the will of the people who are scandalized by sexual abuse, then I say, good for him. In the first order I don't care about whether leaders have integrity (they're all suspect anyway), but about whether they do the right thing; their motivation doesn't matter. "Doing the right thing", at this time, means confronting the sexual abuse cover-ups.
Claire ==Yes, doing the right this is most important as far as the Church is concerned. The motives of the bishops are between them and God. As to AB Gomez being a member of OD, I think it's not fair to assume that they're all dishonorable people. Some I have read of sound quite idealistic, if naive. But then, there was Maciel ...
Oops: doing the right THING
Double oops -- Maciel was the founder of the Legionaires. But Escriva weren't no lily, in spite of his canonization.
"Its not that he just didnt do enough to protect minors from abuser-priests. Its that he worked to conceal abusers from civil authorities."Grant --You've hit the nail on its head. It's the active concealment that is so reprehensible. It's the worst sort of lying=by-doing.By the way, Mayor Koch's demise and all the talk of his friendship with Cardinal O'Connor, who was so respected, made me check out Cardinal O'Connor at bishopsaccountability. It seems that he, back in the 80s was well aware of the seriousness of sexual abuse of minors and tried to stop it in New York. So it just isn't true that nobody was aware of the seriousness of at least some of the crimes.
Ann Olivier:I cannot find on bishopsaccountability information about Cardinal OConnor' awareness of the sexual abuse of minors and his attempts to stop it in New York. I am not refuting it. In fact, I am more than curious since he is a Philadelphian and I know members of his family, next generation after him, of course. I hope your information is correct, since I do not like to think ill of the dead, except for Cardinal Devilacqua (oops typo).
I too can't find anything on ba.org about O'Connor's good record. The search function can be problematic though.O'Connor was an auxiliary bishop in the military vicariate; 27 years in the Navy, up to admiral. Here is what I could find on ba.org about a preliminary list of 95 priest chaplains in the military accused of abuse: http://www.bishop-accountability.org/Military_Chaplains/I believe I read somewhere there are about 850 to 900 Catholic chaplains in a chaplaincy corps of about 5,500.Yes, it would be nice to have good news about a no-nonsense bishop who took decisive action.
I note that there have been about 80 changes to the wikipedia web page in the past 3 days. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roger_Mahony&action=history
Mr. Gleason - think about this. Mahony had a Masters in Social Work and, supposedly, a state certification in CA. If that is true, then he was required by his professional certification to report abuse to law enforcement. Can't find this out completely but it appears that he let his MSW certification lapse in 1980 before taking over LA. But, it adds another layer to this discussion.
Lockley: you really need to stop wasting your/our time on this site and should be posting here .... http://cal-catholic.com/wordpress/
Bill deHaasI am not so sure that Mahony is not correct when he says that his MS in Social Work did not address the issue of the sexual abuse of children by adults. Freud thought that it was impossible for adults to be totally responsible since children at early ages were sexually provocative (e.g., Oedipus Complex.) More recent research indicates that Freud could not believe that an adult would do such things.Also, mandatory reporting of abuse by those in teacher and counseling situations is quite recent. I would guess only the past 20 or so years. I have an M.A. in Pastoral Counseling (1984) and the issue of mandatory reporting was not addressed in my program.
Bill deHaas,Interesting similarity to John McCormack, re: social work license. You see, people were approaching him as a priest, not a social worker.I'd have to search old files to refresh details, but I believe McCormack helped a foreign priest abuser get out of dodge and kept him apprised of any investigation efforts whether it was safe or not to return. Eric MacLeish's office gave me records and mentioned obstruction of justice in the Globe. Police were looking for the priest.Just found material under Barry Robinson in ba.org's database. http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news13/2004_01_14_Kurkjian_PriestLe..."The Boston Globe reported that church officials would not identify the youth to authorities and made no attempt to stop Robinson from leaving the country." See database of fugitives from justice - http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2012/03_04/2012_03_10_Eads_Fugi... has plenty of company.
Helen,Mandatory reporting was fought by bishops in state legislatures for years. After 2002 such efforts were less successful.The Dallas Charter started out requiring all cases to be reported to authorities but the post-recognitio Vatican-approved version specified only where mandatory reporting laws exist. But even where such laws existed, various independent investigations (Cincinnati, NH, KC, Chicago) showed lack of compliance. I think bishops pay much closer attention now that violations are more likely to be prosecuted. Forced virtue, IOW.
Helen - California was an early state adopter of mandatory reporting laws. In fact, the state legislature looked at data in 1978-79 and saw that only 10% of reported cases were sexual abuse and so, in 1980 passed one of the most comprehensive mandated reporter laws. Federal statutes were already encoded on this.Brief CA history:In 1980, in response to this under-reporting and with the desire to comply with federal guidelines, the California Legislature repealed sections of existing law and replaced it with the Child Abuse Reporting Law. The new law included the crucial component of knowledge in the statute, thus specified individuals no longer needed to observe the abuse, but only needed to have information about the offense. The law was rewritten several times in the 1980s to address certain deficiencies and in 1987 the Legislature amended the law once again and renamed it the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act.
Helen ==About Cdl. O'Connor trying to help the abused. I read an article by someone named Likoudis at bishopsaccountability concerning a big scandal in Albany, New York, involving, according to Likoudis, the bishop of that city. (J gather that the writer is an extreme conservative. I don't know if that is relevant here.) The article was from a local Albany paper called "The Wanderer" (as I remember -- it wasn't the well known Wanderer). When I tried to find the article again, all that came up was a second article by the same writer at the same paper about some of the same matters, but it doesn't talk about the Cardinal trying to help the abused. Here's the second article:://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2004_01_06/2004_02_27_Likoudis_TheBish... first article, as I remember it, said that Cdl. O'Connor had gathered information about purported abuse by a number of priests and had appealed to Pope John Paul II for help, but JP II replied "I can do nothing about it".The story revolved around an Albany priest, Fr. John Winkler who was trying to do something about purported widespread abuse, and who apparently committed suicide when the police were asking for his help to finger the guilty. The story is a particularly ugly one, and one wonders what the whole truth was, but I see no reason to doubt that Cdl. O'Connor was in fact trying to help the abused.
Here's a report from the NYT about a report which the bishop commissioned. ://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/25/nyregion/report-clears-albany-bishop-in-sexua... report clears the bishop himself, but it has been contested by a lawyer for some claimants of abuse. Ugly, ugly story no matter which way you look at it.
Ed ==One of my my room-mates when in grad school at Catholic U., got her M. A. in Social Work at the same time as C. Mahony. I assure you that she learned Freud. I can't understand how Mahoney could have escaped learning about the awful consequences of such abuse.
Helen --The interpretations of Freud you allude to might have been wrong, but the relevant question here, I think, is what version of Freud was being taught at C.U. in the School of Social Work.
Here's an interesting article in the NY Review of books by psychologist Oliver Sacks about how memory plays tricks on us all. Discouraging.http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2013/feb/21/speak-memory/?pagin...
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20130203/LOCAL/130209876John Michael D'Arcy, 18 August 1932 -- 3 February 2013, Bishop Emeritus of Fort-Wayne-South BendWhere Lazarus is poor no longer, may he have eternal life.
@John Page,, yes... There are and always will be stand uo bishops.
At 9:00 Eastern tonight, HBO will show a two-hour documentary "Mea Maxima Culpa - Silence in the House of God" on child abuse in the Catholic Church.I haven't seen it, so I just pass on this information.
Now that the Super Bowl is over, I should get back to "unreality":My guess is that Gomez is trying to put some legal-exposure distance between himself [read: the LA archdiocese] and Mahony. Perhaps by taking this action Gomez gets to claim that Mahony has been cut free and what Mahony says and does is his sole responsibility, and not reflective of the LA archdiocese. I guess that would be more Gomez's prayer!!!Mahony's public response to Gomez is perhaps the most revealing aspect of the release of these LA archdiocesan personnel files to become public knowledge. Mahony had [has] a reputation even among clergy here in CA for being a very tough political infighter, with a real skill for close-in use of the stiletto right between the ribs when someone opposes him - and since he is a Cardinal we can assume that he won most of those confrontations. One of the most remarkable stunts Mahony was able to pull-off was the forced resignation of former Oklahoma Republican Gov. Thomas Keating [also former Deputy US Attorney General in the 1st Bush administration] from the National Review Board after Keating wrote an opinion piece in the NY Times depicting the operations of the Catholic hierarchy "more akin to the Mafia." [Rumor had it that Keating wanted to investigate Mahony's time in both the Stockton and LA dioceses.] Keating complained about the code of silence, protection of criminal sexual predators, and obstruction of justice, especially through the payment of hush money. Mahony challenged Keating publicly and called for his resignation - and apparently won since Keating left the National Review Board immediately!Mahony's power has to be sourced to the literally $billions that the LA archdiocese controls. Mahony was able to manipulate not only other American hierarchs but also the Vatican. [Mahony was a real prominent player in the last conclave that elected B16 - I will always believe that Mahony was able to place his all-time BFF William Levada at the head of the Inquisition which runs the world wide protections racket for bishops in exchange for his (Mahony's) support in the conclave voting.] Mahony was also a force to be reckoned with in California politics because of the near adulation for him from Latinos, especially immigrants [which number in the millions in LA] and the fact that he could throw a lot of "street money" around come election time. CA politicians feared him - still do.I hope that today's HBO release of the movie Mea Maxima Culpa keeps the sunlight on Mahony's record. Perhaps some brave CA district attorney will get a grand jury to indict him someday??? If Mahony can be taken down, hopefully he will take a few others with him under the principle that misery loves company. At least, given Mahony's public castigation of Gomez, it seems that Mahony is still up for a fight!
The French Catholic magazine La Vie draps a flattering portrait of Gomez: "De cette lessiveuse morale, financire et mdiatique, est sortie une volont sans faille de transparence et une "tolrance zro" exemplaire: c'est ainsi qu'il faut comprendre non seulement la phrase de Mgr Gomez, mais galement la mise en ligne sur le site du diocse de milliers de pages tires des archives de l'Eglise Los Angeles"In other words, bravo to Abp Gomez for criticizing the cardinal, but also for putting the files online. As if that had happened entirely because of his integrity and desire for transparency. I feel like I'm getting a glimpse of how history might get rewritten.
John Hayes,Thank you for mentioning the HBO film. It is a powerful story of the victims' struggle for justice. HBO gave an advance screening at the VOTF conference last September. At least we got to see it without commercial interruptions.The case became a marker for the liberal/conservative divide in the church with 2010 NYT coverage. Ratzinger supporters absolve him of any culpability. The opposite view naturally holds otherwise. Remembering the Vatican's use of indirect language, plausible deniability, with yes, no, maybe, always and never simultaneously at hand depending on circumstances, it becomes a fascinating study in spin.Read some original documents in the Murphy case:http://documents.nytimes.com/reverend-lawrence-c-murphy-abuse-case#document (p. 54 is Murphy's dishonest letter to Ratzinger pleading mercy).Murphy lied about being repentant, and Milwaukee officials made that clear in Rome a few months later. No answer ever from Ratzinger; but his chief aide Bertone handled the matter. After that Roman meeting, a canonical trial was abated, much to the consternation of Weakland, who basically wanted to proceed no matter how close to death Murphy was --- to avoid a "priest in good standing" funeral with all the honorifics. Whether Weakland had to follow Bertone's "suggestions" or had the authority to continue a trial (technically he did) depends on one's understanding of how power is in fact exercised. When a cardinal asks a bishop or a bishop a priest to consider such and such, is it a friendly suggestion or in fact much more? A timeline of Murphy's assignments with links to original documents is here (see therapist's notes in 1993 especially)http://www.bishop-accountability.org/assign/Murphy_Lawrence_C.htmThe beat goes on. I believe Jim Jenkins sees the money/power dynamics straight up. Gomez' likely desire for legal-exposure distance from Mahony rings true.
HBO is running the film each night this week (Monday hrough Saturday) and then Monday and Friday next week. Hours and channels vary.

A man robbed a North Augusta bar on Tuesday wearing no pants, a pair of boxers on his head and using a silver bamboo stick disguised as a gun before fleeing in the victim's car, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
According to the report, the man was also wearing a blue long-sleeve T-shirt.
Marsha Preachers, an employee, was closing the Wagon Wheel bar on East Buena Vista Avenue around 11 p.m. when the man entered the bar, approached her at the register and demanded money, according to the report.
"I was facing away from the door and he came in," she said. "He had something that looked like a gun."
The gun turned out to be a silver bamboo stick.
"When I turned around and realized it wasn't a gun, I grabbed a pair of scissors and said it wasn't a gun," Preachers said. "He overpowered me and pushed me into the liquor cabinet."
The man then took an unknown amount of money from the register before pushing her to the ground again and going through her purse to find her car keys, according to the report.
Preachers said the suspect pulled her off the floor by her hair and threatened to kill her.
"He told me I was gonna die tonight," she said.
Preachers said the man then took her to the bathroom and locked her in. She told investigators she heard him shouting like he had someone else with him, but said she only saw him.
Preachers said she waited in the bathroom until she heard the door alarm of the business ring. She then sneaked out of the bathroom and hid behind the bar where she saw the man walking around.
The man took her keys and fled in her vehicle, a green 1997 four-door Ford Explorer, according to the report.
Preachers said Wednesday she was shocked and dumbfounded. She added that someone broke into the bar about six weeks ago while the business was closed and took some money from the register.
The man is still at large. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at (800) 922-3211.

GIS is a problem solving tool that's interdisciplinary nature makes the Geography/GIS minor attractive to most majors offered at ONU. This minor will provide the practical skills to pursue a career in our rapidly changing and technology-oriented economy.
Current applications of GIS
Business manages a world of information related to sales, customers, inventory, demographics, and much more.
Engineering and technology professionals rely on the ability to develop and maintain information systems that are inherently linked to infrastructure. GIS provides the link between infrastructure information traditionally stored in databases and Computer-aided drawing (CAD) maps.
Governments at all levels digest an immense amount of information as part of their responsibilities. Much of this information has a locational element to it, such as addresses, parcels, postal codes, or census information. GIS local, state, federal, and international governing bodies to perform diverse functions with greater ease and provides a more effective way of sharing data.
The natural and biological sciences enjoy the benefits of employing GIS in their respective work flows. Much of our natural world can be observed with the aid of GIS, including climate patterns, forensic biology, and geomorphology.
The health care industry can employ GIS to assist in determining where and when to intervene. GIS can also help improve the quality of care, increase service availability, discover more cost-effective delivery modes, and preserve patient confidentiality, and also satisfy the needs of the research community for data accessibility.

ALLEN - Veteran Dirt Late Model driver Brandon Kinzer and his No. 18 Brandon Kinzer Motorsports raceteam closed out their version of the 2012 racing season on November 16-17 at Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tennessee. The inaugural running of the 'Deep Fried 75' took place over the weekend at DRRP. The feature race boasted a $10,000 top prize. Prior to the conclusion of the feature race, however, Kinzer encountered some trouble and was relegated to a 22nd place finish.
On Friday night, during preliminary action, Kinzer timed in third quickest in his group during the qualifying session and later won a heat race. After rolling off from the outside of the sixth row in Saturday's 75-lap feature event, Kinzer broke a shock mount early in the unsanctioned race. The mechanical mishap dropped him to a disappointing 22nd place effort.
Kinzer placed ahead of three drivers - Mark Fields (25), Bub McCool (24) and Corey Posey (23).
Vic Hill won the Deep Fried 75. Other final results from the $10,000-to-win feature race shaped up as follows: 2. Ray Cook; 3. Walker Arthur; 4. Dennis Erb Jr.; 5. Ross Companovo; 6. Josh Putnam; 7. Todd Morrow; 8. Allen Murrey; 9. Jay Scott; 10. Brad Skinner; 11. Joe Denby; 12. Daniel Miller; 13. Caleb Ashby; 14. Tim Busha; 15. Ricky Arms; 16. David Jackson; 17. Braden Mitchell; 18. David Seibers; 19. Jon Stinson; 20. Brett Miller; 21. Victor Lee.
During his latest season, Kinzer competed in races in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Indiana and Kentucky.

1. Place the flat roast onto a very large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil. Spread refried beans on butterflied roast.
2. In a small bowl, combine oil and spices. Drizzle about a tablespoon of the spiced oil onto the refried bean layer. Roll up the roast jelly-roll style and tie it with twine. Rub outside of roast with remaining oil and completely wrap the roast in foil.
3. Bake either in oven (on a pan) or on the upper rack of a grill for approximately 35 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 170°F. If grilling, you may want to rotate the roast, being careful not to let the juices or beans run out of the foil. If using a one-rack charcoal grill, use indirect method. Remove foil and carefully slice. I serve this with grilled bell peppers.

Meeting the Diversity Challenge at PepsiCo: The Steve Reinemund Era
David A. Thomas; Stephanie J. Creary
Price: $6.93
This case profiles PepsiCo's diversity journey under the leadership of former chairman and CEO Steve Reinemund who instituted diversity as one of the company's strategic imperatives. It demonstrates the ways in which Reinemund partnered with his leadership team and employees throughout the organization to make diversity a key factor in PepsiCo's culture and performance. It also reveals how, regardless of the success, PepsiCo employees were openly speculating what it would mean for the diversity strategy that Reinemund would be turning the helm of PepsiCo over to Indra Nooyi, a 50-year old Indian-born woman, who would need to find her own voice and approach to leading the company and its diversity efforts.
Learning objective:
This case explores challenges and opportunities associated with engaging both internal and external stakeholders in executing diversity and inclusion strategies. It also explores the importance of linking "people-focused strategies" to business performance so that they can support the development and growth of business over the long-term.

This past weekend was another busy Saturday with a mostly quiet Sunday, so it's hard to complain about that! I kinda like it when we have quiet Sundays around here….. The weekends are coming soon where those no longer exist.
Saturday started off with us joining the BMW Club on a Pennies From Heaven Rally, as part of the local fundraiser for the Guilds School that helps out special needs children & their families. There were a total of seven teams, and we managed to get third place! :D Lunch was at Red Robin with the Club.
Afterwards, we spent a couple of hours helping collect change for the same fundraiser with the Porsche Club. From there, we stopped by a local park to check out the Japanese Gardens. My Diana enjoyed the scenery. ;)
We picked up some delicious beers on the way home…. I'm working on liking more; so far I'm a huge fan of lambics!
On Sunday we headed out to an antiques show, where we made a few awesome purchases! A Gulf patch, a pack of Porsche cards that we might mount & frame and a sweet vintage Matchbox 911 Turbo.
While doing a few errands, we ran into this awesome pair of Hudson Hornets.
Finally, there were the typical Sunday Porsche Projects. We got her bra fitted, and got her replacement engine sound deadening in. :) While I didn't necessarily want to drown out engine noise, the panel is more for aesthetic purposes for me — it's a cleaner finish to the engine bay. Quite happy with how we managed to get it done!
And that was that! The 911 is all ready for our journey to Seattle for the weekend. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by the University of Washington's campus on May 4th for the Red Square Car Show. And, if you plan on being there, let me know if you care to say hi! I don't bite. ;) And my Carrera is quite pretty….. Hehe.
