The pelvic organ prolapse occurs when an organ drops and pushes against the wall of the vagina. The organs that can drop are the bladder, urethra, uterus, small bowel. Mild POP can be treated with special excerises. More severe POP cases are treated with Transvaginal mesh devices.

American.”
The company has given no explain of its decision, but Dennis Romero of LA Weekly believes the decision may be a result of businesses complaining about the credit cards they issue to employees being used to purchase marijuana. Ilana Greene of Business Insider added that American Express may have received a high number of fraudulent charges from medical marijuana dispensaries, thanks to thieves using stolen cards to try to buy marijuana.

The Cohen Commission report found no primary reason for decline in salmon stocks
The long-awaited report about declining Fraser River sockeye stock during the past two decades was released Wednesday, but the findings couldn’t narrow down a main cause for the drop.
“The idea that a single event or stressor is responsible for the 1992 to 2009 decline in Fraser River sockeye is appealing but improbable,” wrote report author Bruce Cohen, a B.C. Supreme Court justice.
“Factors in the marine environment appear particularly implicated in the broad-based regional decline of salmon stocks. Regrettably, that is as far as the evidence takes me.”
The report also cautioned that the 2010 and 2011 rebound of adult salmon returning to spawn — based on preliminary data — was not complete evidence that stocks have returned to historic levels.
The numbers from the previous two years show levels similar to what was seen in the 1950s, a drastic improvement from the all-time low in 2009.
“The year 2010 was one of abundance: 29 million sockeye returned to the Fraser River,” Cohen wrote.
“However, while demonstrating the sockeye’s capacity to produce at historic levels, this dramatic improvement in a regular peak year in the four-year life cycle of sockeye did not point to a reversal of the long-term decline.”
Among the commission’s 75 recommendations, it’s asked the government to balance farmed salmon and its wild counterpart, and suggested there’s a risk the Department of Fisheries and Oceans would “favour the interests of the salmon-farming industry” over wild stocks.
It also recommends better monitoring of fish health, including minimizing risk that farmed salmon could introduce “exotic diseases” and cause serious or irreversible damage.
The full report can be found at cohencommission.ca.

Since I am too lazy at the moment to edit my two draft posts waiting in the wings, I am going to post an essay I wrote some years ago about language. I wrote it as a blog post during an early and mostly unsuccessful experience with blogging, at a time when my stories were just starting to be published. I still stand by what it says, although it is somewhat fancifully written.
I’m posting it because I have been thinking of SF written in India in different languages and the tension between English and other Indian languages (and yes, by now English is an Indian language) and the nastiness of language politics often obscuring the real issues — all this partly as a result of an email conversation with SF Hindi writer and fan Dr. Arvind Mishra (who also very kindly directed me to a marvelous device: the Google Hindi transliteration tool जिसकी सहायता से मुझे अब हिंदी में लिखने का मौका मिल रहा है).
While I ponder the implications of that conversation I thought it might be fun to post the aforementioned essay (very minimally edited). It appeared some years ago in a very interesting Indian ezine (will post link when I remember what it was called). So here goes.
Two Near-Drowning Experiences
Once, I nearly drowned. My near-death experience took place several years ago when I was a graduate student in the U.S. Eleven of us Indian graduate students had decided to go canoeing in a local river. I remember at first I hesitated because I did not know (then) how to swim, but my friends assured me blithely that with ten other people around there was no way I could drown. So I went.
It was a lovely afternoon and the river was small and surprisingly swift. We got canoes from some kind of rental place and I found myself in a two-seater with the aforementioned friend’s boyfriend, a rather awkward situation. I think they had had a spat and she walked off with some other guy, and since I was the odd one out and the only non-swimmer, I ended up with Friend’s Boyfriend and a cooler filled with beer bottles. At first the going was smooth and exhilarating, and we sped swiftly between tall banks overgrown with wildflowers and mossy earth. Taking a swift turn around a bend, we did not see the tree branch that hung low over the water. It neatly swept us off the canoe.
As I went down I saw the beer cooler floating away and my friend’s boyfriend swimming frantically after it. The next thing I knew, the water had closed over my head and I was being carried by the current. Time slowed; I willed myself not to breathe. I seemed strangely detached from that part of me that was screaming silently in terror; as I went down, I saw, in the clear depths, the pebbly bottom of the river. When my feet touched bottom I used all my strength to push off. My head cleared the surface; in that blessed, frantic moment I breathed. In that instant I saw the river’s surface at eye-level: the sweep of the water, a low, sandy beach on the opposite side, and a high bank not far from me — then I was going down again into the luminous depths of the river. I used the technique of bouncing off the river-bed — and flailing my arms — until I reached the bank, where I held on desperately to shrubs growing on the vertical rise. The river gurgled and breathed, chuckling to itself with its watery tongues, as I waited for rescue.
They eventually remembered me and rescued me. The guys formed a chain across the river and helped me across to the sandy beach, cracking jokes and trying to reassure me that I was all right. But I no longer trusted canoes, or certain kinds of men. Having acquired this unexpected intimacy with the river, I chose to sit in the middle of a tire, alone, and go tubing down the river. And for the rest of that trip there were no more mishaps. But I was taking no chances after that experience. I signed on for a swimming course as soon as I could, and although I don’t swim particularly well, the water is no longer an enemy.
I had another drowning experience many years later, which recalled the earlier one, except that the element in question was not water but… words. I was in the bookstore with my husband and daughter, where we were indulging in our favorite vice — browsing among the bookshelves, picking out books to buy. At one point I found myself standing alone in one of the aisles — the shelves towered above me, the spines of the books hinting at the worlds inside them — and I felt myself being slowly submerged in a great tidal wave of Johns and Marys, Garys and Gertrudes, and they seemed to be chattering away about their lives, their adulterous couplings in American suburbia, their wanderings on far planets where they sipped their martinis and dreamed of New New York, their adventures, their emptiness, their fulfillments. They muttered and laughed and enunciated their particular varieties of English — Roman letters came tumbling out of the pages of their books, swooping at me like paper planes, gathering like clouds before a storm, breaking over my head, mating in mid-air to form sentences that hovered around my face. English. English names, idioms, thoughts, ideas. The first thing that came to my mind as I stood there, drowning, was Alice in Wonderland, the scene at the end where the cards are coming down around her like rain, and she opens her eyes to find leaves falling on her face. I remembered Alice, not Anamika. I thought, stupidly, where is she, Anamika? Where is her voice? Where are the Rams and Jyotis and Raghunathans and Kabirs and Mallikas? Where are the syllables and scripts of Hindi and Tamil and Urdu, where are they?? I am in a country where they speak English, a language that is no stranger to me — I learned it as a child only a year or two after I learned Hindi — and I am drowning in a sea of words and ideas that are essentially English or at least Western. How do I tell someone, in affectionate exasperation, धत तेरी की जय हो? There is no translation that can do it justice, no equivalent in a Western language.
And the problem is not entirely one of a stranger in a strange land, because in New Delhi, India, there are, I suspect, more English-language bookstores than Hindi. Let English propagate, I have no quarrel with that — but must it plow over Hindi to do that? I am not a Hindi fanatic — every language, after all, is a powerful and different way of holding a mirror up to the world — what I want is a multiplicity of tongues. Not a Darwinian, imperialistic sweeping aside of cultures and languages, but old women chattering in backyards, learning words from each other, spawning new idioms and expressions, keeping their languages alive by speaking them in the fertile soil of a true and diverse cultural congress.
Despite the prevalence of English in the big cities and in the lives of the middle class intelligentsia, in India I didn’t feel I was drowning. I went to an English medium school, too. But Hindi was everywhere. We spoke it at home, along with English, and we spoke it with relatives, and the vegetable seller, the milkman, the cook. There were Hindi movies, and there were visits to relatives in small towns, and there was music, and myth, and the vastness and variety of one of the world’s most ancient cultures. Language reflected culture reflected language.
When I was a child we used to go every summer to Bihar, our home state, to stay with my grandparents. We would take the train from New Delhi Railway Station, a cavernous, cacophonous place where everything and everyone was in a hurry. Sitting in the train compartment, at last, breathing sighs of relief, we would buy cups of fragrant sweet chai from vendors. The cups were earthen ones that you threw out of the window when you were done, returning earth to earth. The tea inside them was pale brown and smoky with the tang of clay. The shouts of the vendors echoed on the train platforms, the train began to slide out of the station, and we left behind the earthy, Punjabi-influenced accents of Delhi Hindi. Going east, the accents of the people on the platform would become softer and more sing-song. By the time we got to Eastern Uttar Pradesh, as twilight fell, we could hear the tender accents of Bhojpuri, the native dialect of my parents. The language is so sweet to the ear that it needs no words like “please.” I used to understand some Bhojpuri once, but now all I remember are the songs my mother taught us. पाक गैले खेतवा, जरन लागे रेतवा sung at about the same rhythm as the swaying beat of the train. In the early morning I would be woken by a strange stillness; the train would be at some small station in Bihar, and the chai garam calls of the vendors, the smell of coal dust and hot, sweet, milky tea would rouse me from my bunk. Here morning was no longer subah but bhore and “why” wasn’t the snappy kyoon but the more relaxed, multi-tonal kaahe. By the time we reached our destination, Patna, it would seem almost as though Time itself had slowed. People on the platform seemed less rushed, the train would have acquired some of the languor of the air, and speech would have become melody. We would all lean precariously out of the doorway as the train drew in, searching the sea of faces for my grandfather, who would be somewhere at the back of the crowd, straight-backed and smiling benignly. Outside, amid the confusion of car horns and dust and rickshaws pulled by turbaned men with lean brown bodies, we would find my grandparents’ grey Fiat, a car they had owned for some twenty years or more. End of journey, beginning of summer. Time to argue over which variety of mango was superior, the pale, narrow, firm-fleshed dashehri we got in Delhi or the huge, golden digha malda, King of Mangoes, grown only in a few groves in Bihar. Time for lassi and nimbu pani and other cooling drinks churned at home by cooks or chattering aunts.
The irony of bemoaning in English the loss of my connection with native tongues is only too apparent to me. It is something I am constantly aware of; yet it was only after that surreal experience at the bookstore that I realized the extent of the loss. I went home and brooded on this for a few days. Then my music teacher mentioned a house concert, where a renowned exponent of North Indian Classical music, touring from India, was going to sing. We went.
The long room at our host’s house had been cleared of all furniture, and was covered by rugs. Panditji sat at one end, with his flock of accompanists and a cluster of microphones. I could hear at least three different languages — not including English — being spoken. Women in bright saris or salwaar kameez, men in crisp kurta-pajamas, sat on the rugs facing the master, while small children played in the next room or came in to sit on their parents’ laps for a moment. When the music started, a slow, gorgeous piece in raag bageshri, I felt like a fish that has been tossed back into its river. It was pure enchantment. The syllables, rendered effortlessly by the master, flowed around us, reverberated in the long room, made the children pause in their play. I sat next to my teacher and one of her other students, and we listened the way thirsty people drink water. For me the crowning moment came later, when the singer sang a piece in raag desh that I had once learned from my sister: a description of monsoon clouds that gather to provide succor after a long, scorching summer, and the call of the papiha, that sits in the deepest arboreal grottos and sings its heart out. Meha re, went the song, meha re, ban ban, daar daar, murla bole… Then a slow, melodious enunciation of the word meha, the cloud, drawing out the syllables toward the higher notes with such passion that it brought tears to the eyes. I could almost hear the rain pattering outside the window.
It has been a while since that experience. Since then, I have taken to re-reading my 8 volumes of stories by the great Hindi writer Premchand. I make it a point to talk in Hindi with my Hindi-speaking friends as much as I can. And while I still listen to music from around the world, I make sure it includes a weekly dose of desi stuff: from Bhimsen Joshi to film songs, from the folk music of Himachal to the qawalis of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. These temporary immersions are no substitute for traveling on a slow train across the Indian countryside, for arguing over the best mangoes with my cousins, for helping my grandmother feed the wild birds in her garden. But they help me catch my breath.
It makes me smile, though, when I remember the experience in the bookstore, and the concert some days after, that what saved me from drowning was a song about the watery abundance of the monsoons. Life is full of the most unexpected connections.

reminds me of a comment by Vijay Nambian
“Whatever language we dream in, let not the languages we tell our dreams in be imposed upon us. Let us be judged for the content of the dream, for its purity and truth, else we may ourselves not understand just what it is we are dreaming of.

To comment on one small slice of your essay: in recent history, the English speaking world, specifically the US, was seen as the technologically advanced, up-and-coming, get-things-done culture. Some decades ago there was a small collection published of short stories by European authors. It was small because there were so few. The introduction quoted one Italian author, who gave his characters American names, as saying he did so because no-one would believe Italian characters in SF.
That’s changing. The future is here, as someone said, it’s just not everywhere. Well, _that_ future is becoming more everywhere.
Unfortunately, there’s little hope that an Indian author, writing in Hindi, would have a market in the US. But translations, however inadequate, will someday bring those ideas to these shores. What’s needed is more Indian, and Chinese, and Farsi, and, yes, Italian, writers, creating works that cry out for translation. What’s also needed is a genuine Indian voice — Younguncle writ large — that can create a new wave, to follow on to the New Wave, and New Weird, SF&F. Something for you to work on during your summer vacation.

Photo by Don Ryan/AP UNLV guard Anthony Marshall, left, goes to the basket past Portland guard David Carr during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Portland, Ore., Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012.
The next time someone tries to downplay Mike Moser's importance to the 2012-13 Runnin' Rebels, tell them to pop in a tape of Tuesday night's game at Portland.
Without its junior leader, UNLV looked completely lost in the first half. The offense was a wreck — and not even a trainwreck, as that would be too kind. It was more like a shipwreck, sunk to the bottom of the ocean and being picked at by the fish. The Rebels shot 24.2 percent in the first half, with six assists and seven turnovers. They hit just 1-of-15 3-pointers and trailed, 28-22 at the break.
But just like that, the Rebels flipped a switch and turned it around in the second half. Led by white-hot shooting from Justin Hawkins and a gritty all-around effort from Anthony Marshall, they blew past Portland and held on for a 68-60 win. Let's dissect the victory with a "Fast Breakdown."
FAST BREAKDOWN
Port-Land of Confusion
If there's anything worse than referencing a Genesis song from 1986 in a headline, it was the Rebels' first-half performance in Portland. The numbers were bad enough (see the intro above if you're a true masochist), but the general sense of confusion was the most disconcerting thing. Moser was sorely missed, as the Rebels lacked structure and reverted back to jacking up quick 3's, without much success. Even with Anthony Bennett beasting (11 first-half points), there was no consistent effort to get the ball inside. If there was any message to draw from the first half, it would probably be: Hurry back, Mike.
Second-half surge
Despite the slow start, there are some definite positives to take away from this game. For instance, last year this would have almost certainly been a loss. UNLV was poor on the road last season, collapsing at the first sign of trouble. And this much adversity (no Moser, foul trouble for Bennett, poor shooting) would have been too much to overcome. But the Rebels showed great fortitude in the second half, led by senior leaders Justin Hawkins and Anthony Marshall (31 combined points). The backcourt duo played tremendous defense, and Hawkins erased the deficit virtually by himself once he got hot from 3-point land. No matter the opponent, it's never easy to come back on the road and win. Give UNLV credit for showing mental toughness and grinding this one out.
Justin Hawkins, Superhero
The Rebels were struggling mightily to put points on the board, but Hawkins single-handedly took care of that in the second half. The senior guard drilled four 3-pointers after halftime, and at one point scored 11 straight points to give UNLV the lead for good. He finished with 15 points, three steals, three assists and two blocks in 28 minutes, and that stat line doesn't even do him justice. Hawkins gets my game ball.
Zoning out
I expect to see Dave Rice to spend a lot of time on breaking the zone in upcoming practices. The Rebels haven't been good against zone, and with their struggles from outside (just 6-of-25 against Portland), they're going to see more and more of it as the season goes on. Bryce Dejean-Jones and Katin Reinhardt were quick on the trigger, with little success — Dejean-Jones was 0-of-9 from the floor and 0-of-6 from 3-point range, while Reinhardt finished 2-of-10 and 0-of-4 from 3. That's no way to break a zone, especially when you have Anthony Bennett (18 points, 6-of-11 FGs) roaming the middle.
What does it mean?
A win is a win, especially on the road. Just keep repeating that and you'll feel better. Even though UNLV turned it around in the second half and really played some good basketball, the fact remains that we're seven games into the season and we still haven't seen the Rebels play a full 40 minutes. With another road game at Cal looming on Sunday, we won't have to wait long to see how they respond. Cal is 6-1 and coming off their first loss (at Wisconsin), so the Bears will probably be fired up and come flying out of the gate. If the Rebels stumble early again, they may not be able to overcome it — with or without Moser.

RelationshipsFML: Overcoming Shyness (for women)
Posted by Some Dude on April 18, 2012 at 11:40 am girl, what can you do to overcome that reluctance? And if you’re a guy interested in (or already in a relationship with) a shy girl, how do you deal with it?
For afflicted women: you’re a lot better off than shy men, for starters. Shyness in women plays well to old notions of gender roles that die hard, so unlike men, taking advantage of your own shyness is an effective option. Overcoming it outright is a bit harder but also works very well, and is more empowering in the long run.
One important step in breaking the shyness logjam is to stop dwelling so much on others’ reactions. Recognize that you’re never going to be able to perfectly interpret nonverbal cues – no one can. Rapt attention to others’ nonverbal cues often leaves you not focusing enough on your own nonverbal cues. So instead of trying to detect hairsplitting subtlety, you’re much better off focusing your effort on getting others to give you obvious signs of their interest. And you do that by amping up the attraction.
You can use shyness to your advantage by playing up femininity. It works because guys find it attractive in and of itself, and it strongly contrasts guys’ masculinity, which can even make even shy guys feel comfortable (and therefore less shy). To do this, you first need to make sure that the passive ingredients to your attractiveness are the best they can be. This includes obvious things like dressing to flatter your body type, an appropriate hairstyle, and simple makeup. It also includes less obvious things like posture, hygiene, tone of voice, and so on. I go into these things in a lot more detail in this post. Then, you just need to be visible. One of the best ways for naturally shy women to express interest is simple eye contact. That single, simple step is easily manageable despite shyness, and is very effective. Your shyness won’t hold you back in conversation, because (thanks to ingrained gender roles) your bashfulness at worst won’t hurt you and at best can be very endearing.
Overcoming shyness works much as it does for guys: knowing that you’re doing something right gives you the confidence to continue doing it right, which will give you results, but the reason it works is a little different. For guys, confidence itself makes them seem more attractive; for women, confidence allows you to cast a wider net by being comfortable entering new social environments and approach specific individuals you find interesting. So, how to do it? In time you may find that using your shyness to your advantage will give you the confidence to overcome it naturally. Something else which will help you is improving your ability with smalltalk, which has wide applications outside of relationships; I became comfortable with smalltalk by reading a self-help book, but there are many paths to improving this skill. The essence of smalltalk is to have a conversation that the other party finds enjoyable and engaging. To that end, asking questions and listening well are more important than being confident talking about yourself, which if you’re shy makes mastering smalltalk easier than it might seem.
For guys interested in shy girls: Simply put, be obvious. Just kiss her already, dumbass. It can be scary, especially for shy guys, to just dive in, but diving in is infinitely better than endlessly circling and waiting for the perfect sign or moment – for much the same reason I gave above for women. There is no special approach to shy girls that is distinct from any other girls.

It was 1993. I was in middle school.
Kids can be cruel? Absolutely. In 1993, it was my turn to be cruel. But understand, it wasn’t my fault. I lost a bet and it was either do my job or get laughed at. So I chose to do my job.
Here’s some backstory though.
In 1993, I was in 8th grade. Yes, that makes me older than you. But so what, you can’t whip my arse! Anyway, back then I was that kid everybody hated. Not because I was a bad person, but because I was “that” dude. I was on all the sports teams (basketball, cross country, track-n-field), got straight A’s, and was the student government president.
I was also like 4’11″. Real talk, I didn’t grow until my junior year of high school. I thought I was going to be a midget. This was a very real fear. It didn’t turn out to be reality but I still can’t dunk a basketball. Thanks mom.
Anyway, there was a young lady who came to my school JUST for her 8th grade year. We’ll call her Sonia. That’s not her name. But it is today. I don’t remember much about Sonia short of her jheri curl. And I only remember that because she smelled like activator. That’s not a dis or a shot, it’s just the truth. It was the kind of curl that almost made you want to light a math to see if it was as flammable as you thought. Poor Sonia, jheri curl, glasses, and pretty sizeable gap in her front two teeth.
For the record, I don’t think a gap is a bad thing. In fact, I think it builds character. Word that up. The look just doesn’t work for everybody. Word that up too.
Anyway, Sonia took a shining to yours truly. I’m not sure why, but she wanted to lay her curl on my pillow…something that I just was not feeling. At all. But she liked me. Awwww.
Well, Sonia ALSO (along with her curl) had some pretty consistently stank mouth. I tried not to pay it too much attention but we sat near each other in Math class. Point is, I got firsthand accounts and experience in her mouth.
Pause.
Or not pause.
Well, one day I made a bet with some other chicks in our math class. I don’t remember the bet at all. Not even a little bit. I do remember that the loser had to give Sonia a pack of breathmints at the SGA party we had going on later that night. I lost.
This presented a bit of difficulty for me seeing as I viewed Sonia as a friend. And she liked me. And here I had to be the bearer of bad news at a public event no doubt. You see where this is going right?
Later on in that evening the party gets going. The sounds of Vanilla Ice and Color Me Badd rock the auditorium when I decide to make my move. See, back then, I had to save face. I couldn’t just get punked into NOT calling somebody out on their bad breath. Oh, how shortsighted was I.
At the party I pulled Sonia into a corner where everybody could see us and then I pulled out the breathmints and gave them to her. In the entire realm of my life, that is one day I felt truly terrible to embarass somebody who did nothing wrong ever.
In the coming weeks and months, we didn’t talk much. She never let that go and I can’t blame her. She just quietly seethed towards me with her jheri curl causing a water hazard all around her desk.
In the most random twist of fate ever, I saw her in Huntsville, Alabama one day. My sister and I ventured to the local military base and upon walking into the door, there was Sonia. Still the same height, still rocking a jheri curl. And that last part is still true.
She recognized me right away and we struck up a short but awkward conversation. In fact, she was so shook that when I asked her what she was doing in Alabama, she told me that she was taking classes at the University of Georgia Tech. To this day I still can’t find any school labeled as such. My little sister immediately busted out laughing.
And I feel bad. I truly wish I’d handled that situation differently, but apparently it wasn’t in me to do so. I embarassed the hell out of this girl for no good reason.
But its in the past so the only thing that I can do is not mess with women with jheri curls.
I have no idea what she’s doing now but I”m guessing it involves DeVry. Which is totally great! Yeah. Okay. Alright.
Anyway, I shared that story to say that I’m learning that I need to say “I’m sorry”. She doesn’t read this blog so she’s short. But maybe one day she will and she’ll come across this post.
I needed to come clean. For the children. I’m sorry Sonia.
So good folks of VSB, what do you feel guilty for doing or do you need to say “I’m sorry” for? I know you got soul.

More women than men are applying for veterinary school—making up as much as 80 percent of applicants at some schools. That's not because men are avoiding perceived lower wages in veterinary medicine, says one researcher. It's because male applicants are avoiding fields filled with women.
That's the conclusion of Anne Lincoln, an assistant sociology professor at Southern Methodist University, whose study of the changing face of veterinary medicine is the first to look at gender in college applications from 1975 to 1995. Lincoln used decades of surveys and application information shared by the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges in her recently published study, "The Shifting Supply of Men and Women to Occupations: Feminization in Veterinary Education," in the journal Social Forces.
In addition to men's "preemptive flight" from female-dominated colleges, Lincoln also attributes veterinary medicine's gender shift to women's higher graduation rates from college as well as the landmark 1972 federal amendment that prohibited discrimination by gender in college applications. Women have been enrolling in college in greater numbers since 1972, according to Lincoln.
In her study, Lincoln controlled for class size, percentage of women on faculty and in the classroom, increased tuition, and declines in veterinary medicine's average salary, and found that none of those factors were statistically significant in explaining why more women than men were applying.
Instead, Lincoln attributes the change in the veterinary profession's gender to the "preemptive flight" of men, who may be uncomfortable with the fact that veterinary medicine is dominated by women or see a much larger proportion of women on veterinary college campuses during school visits.
Lincoln says the evidence proves false the notion that women enter less lucrative fields, like veterinary medicine, because their husbands can support them with larger salaries. Men and women seem equally affected by salary and tuition concerns, she says.
Of course, with growing numbers of female graduates, veterinary medicine isn't the only field in for a gender shift. Based on current application and enrollment data, Lincoln says medicine and law—traditionally male-dominated fields—will follow veterinary medicine's lead in the next 20 to 30 years.

Well joining me now Mike -- president founder of the Holland balanced fund great to have you with us and to be here.
You know we're watching this market -- it seems like day after -- we're talking about a -- now some late.
We're seeing.
Firming in this market what's going on now well.
The valuations who have had such low levels or stocks worldwide.
Prices of so called risk free assets -- treasury bonds of earth if it's such high levels.
Now when we get good news or bad news you don't get the same reactions we've had before two because yes such extremes priced it.
People are so nervous skeptical cynical about anything that's going on right now.
That the prices are now reflecting that so when you do get bad news if you're not getting big down would move in the stock market when you do get.
You know some some decent news like he had housing did -- get things moving -- It it appears to many that there is a bottom forming here at least in the house are confident about the stock market.
-- what what is your read.
I think both are possible and probably likely and I think the reason for that is once again.
We hit levels of -- since 2008.
Where no one -- is unaware of the houses have been had a good investments since 2000.
No one is unaware that stocks have been -- lousy investment for the last ten years it -- the most people are going to sell those things they sold.
And you have a very very very low ownership of stocks and also people interest in housing up until this point I think prices are there.
And are looking at all of the of the external right now that the face investors this market.
The European Union summit do you expecting -- to come up -- is that does something to to our cal law.
Conventional wisdom once again totally skeptical totally apathetic and to -- best.
The results out of this thing could be -- some comment about the banking union which they consider later that would be a positive surprise because nobody expects anything good.
More important next week the European Central Bank meets.
When they meet next week if they did anything positive read that.
They said something about lowering rates and doing more content -- do so.
That would actually be surprised the markets that would once again be he probably that would be a surprise in the upside -- former -- comments such as she thinks.
But they've done really quite enough and hello everybody starts self fulfilling their promises for the the money that they've received all of those bailouts.
Do they shall hold steadfastly to that viewers this up.
Posturing in advance of -- European Union summit.
You think she might be actually.
Act like a politician artwork but.
Which she is in their -- he does have to posture.
And I think it's a great question because she in fact is probably going to be doing a little more accommodating -- -- hard come answered me.
You know that they wouldn't she she had this coming in her lifetime to never -- and instead it's never.
But you're you're gonna happen if -- -- out of her life I think I'm perforated effect that pray that it the up.
I'm in -- where it goes into the Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner who -- forgot his name was.
We haven't heard from.
We're in the midst of what everybody including.
The -- -- himself has said.
Is a major global crisis and he is.
They were visible -- -- what what it's going -- I think we have in Washington right now only Ben Bernanke to look toward.
And that's scary because they've just about shut -- whole.
Ammunition did that they have he says there's some of the things they can do you and he had Richard Fisher yesterday telling them fox noise -- Viewers that he thinks it.
We were just about does Iraq it's a -- and now these other people have to do something.
That which again is the potential good news going out over the next six to twelve months that we will getting major change in the people who leading -- we may get some leadership.
And if we do no one expects that.
It's certainly not in anyone's pricing.
And just give us your best.
Assess what likely will be the impact if -- Eric Holder is cited for contempt of congress.
And Obama carriers reward constitution.
I believe the stock market will go.

On the part of the storm the smoke it's just the storm is something else.
We'll say these -- is of course very wide and far reaching as we've seen the first estimates for the costs of the storm's damage.
On -- and -- are about what on next guess originally expected.
Jeff masses a director of -- urology for Weather Underground joining us now Jeff.
OK last Friday said this would likely be a billion of dollar -- Disaster.
My goodness it was so much more was -- net.
Yeah I was being conservative because I didn't know what mr.
-- is gonna hit relative to high tide.
If -- hit hit debt load tied to damage would have been far -- Yeah we're talking about twenty billion property damage is maybe ten billion -- thirty billion even Summers saying in lost business.
I mean what do you think now that you've seen the damage what do you think it could total.
Yes certainly -- a fifty billion between the two -- is probably a pretty good testament.
I'm a little surprised it isn't higher but we haven't seen what the -- business is going to be yet and certainly shutting down.
The nation's largest city and 10% of its GDP is going to be very costly.
Jeff area where the Weather Underground -- it's a no -- Boston insurance.
Officials this question but it appears of the weather patents.
All changing and these type of monster storms perhaps are becoming more likely would you agree with the Adam why.
I'd agree that in the last two years the US is seen an unprecedented sort of severe weather on slot.
I mean this year -- we -- you know of course sandy we had summertime in March last year we had record floods on the Mississippi the Missouri the -- -- -- And we had that tornado -- as well.
And I just say -- we've moved into a new climate regime.
It's not dissimilar climate I've known in thirty years as a meteorologist and I think have to point the finger towards heat trapping gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere here.
This is just a freak accident I mean this is two storms colliding that would normally never meet.
I mean it's it's it's a once in you know however many decades century accident that you -- -- happen.
-- freak events in the atmosphere happened naturally we saw -- back in 1903 that hit New Jersey that's the only American has ever done it.
So there is at large -- -- natural variability.
But just -- -- to need its purity of some of the disaster were seen in recent years are unlike anything we've ever seen in the US going back several centuries of record keeping.
Which makes me nervous us -- what you're expecting for this wind take away expect more of these big storms that obviously will turn into blizzards.
You know the only thing I'd be surprised at this winner parent or an ordinary winter.
We may have another winner like last you're basically did have a richer or not a severe one like the previous few winners -- -- got pounded his frequent snowstorms -- Normal is not normal anymore I just expect the abnormal.
-- That's says it all -- -- thank you so much for joining us today by Skype and cover hedging his bets -- -- that the upcoming winter it to be really wool mart can be really stalled -- is.

My god when it comes to caring for people.
-- -- new York New Jersey and Connecticut not just the United States but all over the world.
Can't there be some people who have compassion to know that.
These -- what god expects us to do that's why we say in god -- -- now -- no explanation.
The rug is pulled out.
From all of us but most of all our constituents.
This is a disaster you're on top of a disaster.
Hello and welcome to foxnews.com.
Alive and on the hunt.
Jonathan Hunt is not in today -- he will be back with us here's you next week.
I'm -- -- one of the correspondents here Fox News Channel so glad you're here with us and happy new year to -- Obviously opening up with those sound bite says Keyes is up in teases out.
For our first topic which is of course the hurricane sandy a relief efforts going underway and as you can tell there's not a lot of happy people.
About what's going on I want to introduce our guest here on set and we're gonna talk to us about the delay in the vote on super storm sandy aid.
That his angered so many both on the ground who are still victims.
And many of the GOP we've got Thomas facility of former executive director of the New York State Republican Party.
I got your name right you got excellent ING -- green former president of the women's media center and of course you know her as a Fox News contributor we see all the time and love to have you here on the panel.
Great to see you both happy new year to -- -- -- him.
Happy -- I you know it's not a happy new year for these folks still suffering I mean you know so much has happened since hurricane sandy.
Of course with those shootings in Connecticut and and all the rest that has happened.
But these people are still out there suffering -- there's this bill that has been delayed.
On the votes and a lot of people aren't happy northeast lawmakers are infuriated as we heard.
But you pointed out before we started this show that this bill that there's a delay on.
-- you can -- describe for people you know what some of the problems UC with the bill may be why.
There has been -- the delay in this because house speaker John Boehner.
On Wednesday set a January 15 vote on the super storms sandy relief bill.
After these in -- northeast politicians including.
A governor Chris Christie New Jersey a fellow Republican a blasted the speaker for skipping action on disaster -- in the final hours of the current congress so.
These people are waiting for help they need help they are expecting help they thought they were getting this help.
And now there's a delay on the vote of how this money is gonna comment but they really weren't gonna get -- Hope to begin with some -- and we all feel for the folks who who.
-- were affected by hurricane sandy.
But the fact of the matter is that the senate draft of the bill and it was it was spearheaded by Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand -- senate spearheaded the bill.
That was sixty billion dollars the vast majority of it had absolutely nothing to do.
With sandy aid and even though it was branded as an emergency bill less than 15%.
Of that need was actually going to be spends.
For seeing the victims -- when he thirteen.
This is a bad piece of legislation and so what that the speaker is doing now is they're going to split it out they're gonna have to separate votes.
They're gonna take the stuff the -- hundreds of millions of dollars for.
The Smithsonian and for Alaskan fisheries and for everything else under the sun they're gonna split that off from the aid package which is really what we should be focusing on.
-- I think it's -- -- -- to delay the vote I think that I think it's a bad piece of legislation what I really would have liked to have seen -- instead of all those folks getting up and blasting.
-- the speak you're blasting this person or that person is actually writing a clean.
Bill to help with disaster relief this was not a clean bill this is a special interest give away.
Where 80% of the money wasn't even gonna end up going says sandy relief victims we should have a clean bill that bill should be voted on in the house and sent back to the senate so that people can get -- relief.
Right away not a year from now two years from now or some.
Sometime down the road giving you agree with that how this needs to be divvied up well I agree with governor Chris -- -- is not often I think.
Remarks that he made at the press conference.
Following the delay of the vote need to be played to every household in America need to be -- every elected official.
They need to have a conference especially on the GOP side and sit down and figure out how to finally started to get government working again.
I will take.
The opinions of Governor Christie and Governor Cuomo over you know I'm sorry.
I go -- all due respect you know.
Speaker Boehner had made a promise.
To these states that this bill was going to be voted on.
All of -- you know shenanigans of what's in the bill and it's not a good bill I feel like those are talking points after the fact to try to protect.
The house GOP and the other -- That they are in they have.
Simply forgotten their number one duty.
Of actually being public servants and are putting politics -- For help me.
Whether you're Democrat or Republican and this is where Christie said it's so eloquently.
It when it comes to disasters we -- all Americans this is about red states and Blue States and -- became politicized.
It's not politicize the mean here.
The speaker promised to -- to help these folks and what the senate Democrats send him.
Was a bill that didn't help these people waiting when you're talking about us -- you're talking without your talking about -- with Governor Christie with Governor Cuomo.
Days in advance thinking this was the last minute this isn't so now governor cracking me Governor Cuomo -- Governor Christie governor of animal.
Money he tried to reconstruct -- hell Hillary -- we're going to put it up.
And then he realized -- I've already upset many of the most conservatives this is exciting -- which.
Again they've been holding our country Kostis and now they -- -- this is the reason why we have a spending problem.
It's because we have progressives who don't think that a sixty billion dollar bill.
Deserves some analysis some sort of consideration.
That this is a bill that -- was passed as an emergency measure.
Were only 15%.
Of the expenditure was actually going to be used for emergency purposes.
Governor Cuomo and Governor Christie hammered one -- effort money that is going to -- able to help their constituency.
And this building -- and -- that -- the the number of days it took to get aid.
Two the folks in Florida after hurricane Andrew the folks in New Orleans and Mississippi in the gulf this state.
States how only -- it -- and verses like the 66 days that we're still passed for this bill will hear this this was alarming and should be -- something that every single American pays attention to this week congress is broken.
And it's broken because John Maynard does not happen to have any ability to lead his troops and it's broken because of that far.
Right ideological conservatives who Qaeda in 2010.
And feel like if it's their duty to destroy government's -- originated in the democratic senate.
This bill originated in the democratic senate.
And it became a full of pork in this big special interest give away and I agree -- of them.
There's no reason why it took congress.
And not Republicans or Democrats for congress together and you -- were called you know.
The upper house is controlled by then they pass a bill they head into the -- to the day that passes the bill.
Sixty days after hurricane.
Sandy you Europe they are part of an innocent they're -- again that.
Our government is being held hostage whether it's by a small number of senators.
In the US senate we need filibuster reform hopefully we're gonna see some of that in this new congress hopefully.
John -- either I mean I think it's just rumors about what's gonna happen with him I think he will maintain -- the speakership.
But he needs to get a hold.
Of his members he needs to take control and put them in line because something passed again.
Government is broken I don't know if you're one of those Republicans who.
It celebrates because you want government to be broken you want nothing to be legislated on you want nothing to be effective.
I don't know there -- many of your colleagues who filled -- -- talking about effectiveness and again there are pieces of legislation.
That if it's an emergency bill that's -- provide emergency aid to people who need it now.
Then why are we sitting here talking a -- piece of legislation were only 15% of the money.
Goes to those people and only a small percentage of it is actually spent -- calendar year Peter King aren't very strong tough for public and on from New York who do you as executive director of the new York Republican Party.
No I don't yeah I wanted to mention.

Description
Like aging baby boomers, the cartoon strip Funky Winkerbean and its creator Tom Batiuk have turned gray with life's ups and downs in a 40-year run on the funny pages. (May 30)
Transcript
[Location - Date:Medina, Ohio 4/16/2012][Source:AP]SOUNDBITE: "In conjunction with Funky's 40th anniversary, the Kent State University press is going to be reprinting the entire run of Funky."(Tom Batiuk/Cartoonist)Batiuk sketching "Funky Winkerbean" cartoonSOUNDBITE: "They're going to bring out a volume a year for the next 14 years. If I continue to do the strip and the strip continues running, they won't catch me. In fact, I hope they don't catch me actually."(Tom Batiuk/Cartoonist)Photo: Batiuk drawing comic stripSOUNDBITE: "When Funky started out there was a bunch of teen strips that were getting a little long in tooth. They had sorta covered the territory of parent - teen conflict. Parents arguing with the kids about the car or the phone or telling them to go clean their room. I wanted funky to be anything but that - just to stay away from all that stuff. They dealt with 2% of the school football team and cheerleaders so I was left with everything else."(Tom Batiuk/Cartoonist)Batiuk sketching "Funky Winkerbean" cartoonCU: Funky Winkerbean comic stripSOUNDBITE: "I kinda went inside to the inner conflict so I wrote about less waking up in the morning and feeling sick because you knew you had to go to the gym and climb the rope to the ceiling that day. Or you knew there was going to be somebody waiting after school to beat him up."(Tom Batiuk/Cartoonist)CU: Funky Winkerbean comic stripSOUNDBITE: "I used to go out to my old high school to sketch, I still do. I just sketch and hang around and keep up with things. So if I draw a drinking fountain, it looks like a real drinking fountain. And one day I'm looking through my sketch book and there's this girl in high school who I'd sketched who was pregnant and I thought if i'm going to deal with reality, deal with things in the moment I should do this as well. so I wrote this story where a girl in high school was pregnant. And that girl was lisa. And les wasn't the father but he was her best friend and her birthing partner through this whole process. And once they'd gone through that it was going to be very difficult to have les hanging from the gym class rope during the middle of the homecoming dance."(Tom Batiuk/Cartoonist)CU: Cover of Lisa's story: funky winkerbeanSOUNDBITE: "So the characters were telling me they were ready to move on, I was older. And it was just a good time for me to start using the experiences that I had since I got out of school, I was just out of school practically when I started funky. And now as i've grown, the strips could grow and the characters could grow up."(Tom Batiuk/Cartoonist)CU: Sketches of characters from Funky WinkerbeanSOUNDBITE: "Les is trying to get a date in high school was rather simplistic stuff, just surface stuff. But once they grew up, les and his realtionship with lisa was much more nuance, much more complicated and I liked writing about those things. And the other thing that complicates life is that things change, that things happen to people. I'd reached a stage where i was starting to hear about friends, relatives where someone was dealing with breast cancer. And i took that stuff and internalized it to create an inner landscape that i could draw upon to write a story like that, so i did. Lisa became diagnosed with breast cancer."CU: Sketch where Lisa is diagnosed with breast cancerMS: Characters Lisa and Les from Funky WinkerbeanMS: Lisa's story the other shoe coverSOUNDBITE: "But i think it's important to deal with stuff like this, i think that art at it's core helps us to share the human experience. And sometimes it provides us with insights, sometimes it confirms our worst suspicions. But it's a shared experience. And comic strips are uniquely positioned to do that sort of thing because they are there every day in people's lives and their just sorta interwoven in the fabric of their lives. i think that helps you to share that work in a much more intimate way, especially in a strip where the characters are aging and growing older. Each strip then becomes like a breath, like a passing movement. I think that's nice if you get even close to that."(Tom Batiuk/Cartoonist)Batiuk signing his name on "funky Winkerbean" cartoon

The.” Bombs Aimed at G.I.’s in Iraq Are Increasing
... it took five years of protecting you for the Bush Administration to finally figure out to ban water..
posted by JimK at 10:40 AM
I heard on the news last night that 17,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since January 1, 2006. SEVENTEEN THOUSAND in less than 8 months.$250 billion and countless innocent lives WASTED thanks to the lies by the current administration. Go on Orin, tell us again about how outrageous it was for Clinton to tell a lie about his personal conduct but it was hunky dory for Dumbya to lie about Iraq.
??Wow, I thought you were pro-choice. I mean countless innocet lives wasted 45 million since Roe V Wade. unless you are just lieing about being Concerned about lost innocent life.
Did you know that 45 million is 6428 times grater than 7 thousand
Obviously, some of America is not a "tough crowd," and will believe anything they're told.Luckily this isn't very many people these days. It's just down to the very dumbest few, as exemplified by Anon here.PB
pb sharp wit. that was a good one. you need to take the act on the road.

BoB Blades
These are the bladed implements carried by seven men on this year's Annual Winter BoB Exercise. I know it's difficult to see - if you click on the pic it will enlarge.
I will attempt some cogent observations later but right now I need to go work on a wheel chair ramp for some poor widows...
...as Arnold said, "I'll be back!"
......................................
A blog reader sent in this comment with regards to the picture: Is that a kukri? They would be on par with a machete for clearing brush, but I wouldn't imagine carrying one in a survival situation for their size and shape.
I started to post a reply in the comments section and just decided to bring it out here for all to see more easily.
It is not a kukri it is a parang - a bit lighter but still heavy. It's a jungle knife fashioned from a leaf spring. I am probably going to replace it with my Mora 2000. It’s heavier than a machete so it is not as good with light vegetation as a machete but it is much better at hacking through tougher stuff. And that’s the rub – it is heavy.
But the thing is, I have been on events where all of the wood was covered in a layer or ice, or soaked with rain, and I had to baton my way into them to reach dry wood. Now - I can baton with a Mora2k - sort of. And there are other lighter knives that can baton well - my wife carries a BK&T Camp Knife that is as big as my parang but much lighter.
Also, I have a background in Filipino Martial Arts and I can FIGHT with that parang. The balance, the edges, the handle geometry... Now, granted, I can fight with a Swiss Army knife as well and let's face it - I won't be fighting with my knife in a Bug Out situation - I guess I could but come on....
Another thing the parang does which a lighter knife will not do nearly as well is hack. And there again, truth be known - on the 20 or so events I have carried the parang along on - I really haven't hacked all that much.
There was some kind of touchy feely move amongst the “save the earth” hippy crowd back in the 70’s to get away from big aggressive (say it with a lisp) knives and simply carry a Swiss Army Knife or some such. And truth be known – you can do the vast majority of your knife chores with a very little knife. I gutted and went through the ribs of a young doe with an original Gerber LST (about a 1.5 inch blade). And while “a big knife will do anything a small knife can but not vice versa” is generally true – it’s hard to clean a rabbit with a foot long blade.
If I “could only have one thing” in a survival situation it would be a knife like that parang or a Cold Steel Trailmaster bowie. But I am not limited, am I? I have a whole BoB full of goodies. What it is coming down to with me, gang, is weight. I am getting older and am not the 30 year old mountain running stud I used to be. And really - we could all probably make better use of the weight allowance (no matter how fit one is – one can only carry what one can carry and so choices must be made).
So yeah, I’m probably going to bid adieu to the heavy knife. The good news is, I’ll have it out so I can actually play with it more.
See ya out there.
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's rasor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weight,

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for your support of this video and all of your messages and comments! I've posted some of my thoughts on the video and its success at on.fb.me/HzgMtY and facebook.com/chrispzero
Watch in HD with sound on!
Chicago is the first destination for my new series, Places in Time. This piece focuses specifically on downtown Chicago, which was my home for over 6 years until late 2010.
Downtown Chicago has long been an active area - a financial and transportation hub flanked by the lakefront, Grant Park, residential districts and shopping, but the area has evolved rapidly during the last decade and is now more than ever a major residential and tourism center. Between the world class skyline, lakefront, and park space, downtown Chicago offers scenery and an environment not found anywhere else in the non-coastal USA. The central city on an average day contains a blend of office workers, residents, commuters, and a mesh of locals, suburbanites, and tourists who venture in to enjoy the great restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.
When I first moved to downtown Chicago in 2003, I lived in one of the only residential buildings in the Chicago Loop. Most businesses shut down after the workday and the area was very quiet at night. Since that time, the number of residents, and all the restaurants, shopping, and entertainment that support them, has grown rapidly in the Loop, South Loop, and West Loop neighborhoods. Living in a rapidly gentrifying area can be frustrating at times, but the transformation of the area in such a short period was nothing short of amazing to witness.
Chicago as a whole has a great energy - one of America's few dense urban environments where people are forced to step out of their isolating cars and experience life alongside one another. The people are mostly genuine, hard working, and friendly. There are countless vibrant neighborhoods with a dramatic range of uniqueness and character. The city changes and transforms during each of the four seasons, but never ceases to be active and full of life.
All footage for this piece was shot between 2010 and now. My goal was to provide a glimpse into the energy and fast paced life of an average day in downtown Chicago, enhanced through fast motion timelapse. Some of the viewpoints and locations may seem familiar, but I've also tried to showcase the city from a number of different and less common vantage points.

The Places in Time series will be an ongoing series exploring different locations that I visit. I travel America and the world to create stock photography, timelapses, and other video. Most of my trips have very tight schedules that don't allow me the time to thoroughly explore, but I will be using this series as a reason to delve deeper into destinations and try to capture the real energy and atmosphere of the cities, areas, and countries that I visit.

We’ve received another email question from one of our readers, this one concerning a specific type of body language: eye contact. Eye contact can be a very useful tool for flirting with women, so that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about in this article. Here’s the question:
Eye contact is one of the most powerful expressions of interest you can give without even being near to a person. Women use it all the time to show they're open to an approach, so be on the lookout!
Dear Vin,
I keep coming across the same situation over and over again. There’s a woman in the room, she’s at a distance, and I’m trying to engage her in an interaction by showing her a bit of interest from across the room.
I’m wondering, in situations like these, how do you use your eye contact to flirt? How can I use eye contact to create a bit of a spark, so that going over to her won’t seem like such a big deal?
Adam, – Nebraska
If you want to create this spark you’re talking about and learn how to be a master flirt, you’re going to have to use the full spectrum of all your body language – not just eye contact. For that, it’s important to remember the following key points:
Tip #1 – Confident body language
Body language can portray a whole lot about a person, and we as humans are highly adept at detecting and decoding body language, even if we mostly do it on a subconscious level. If someone has droopy shoulders, is constantly frowning, and seems fidgety – women automatically think less of them.
The way you stand out is by portraying confidence, even if at first you need to act a little to pull it off. That means you stand tall and pay attention to your posture. Make sure you smile a lot, even if there’s no apparent reason for it – since a happy guy is an attractive guy. If you do this long enough, then sooner rather than later you’re actually going to become at ease with yourself, and then… well – then your body language will begin to reflect a natural and effortless confidence.
Tip #2 – Body orientation
A tell-tale sign of female interest is when her body and feet are facing in your direction, even if she’s looking away from you.
On the other hand, as a guy, you don’t want to be facing her with your body. If you do, you’re going to be giving her too much attention, and this will actually backfire and have the negative effect of being a turn off. You want your body not facing her – but rather facing someone who you’re having a conversation with.
Now, once you’ve implemented the above two body language tips, we can move on to the eye contact.
Tip #3 – The Eye Contact
Every once in a while, as you look over in her direction, try to find her eyes and pick one eye, whether it’s the left or the right, and hold onto that eye contact. Just keep holding onto that eye. Do not break off no matter what she does. Keep holding that eye contact for as long as possible until she breaks it off. Once she breaks it off – then you stop looking too.
(If you keep looking you’ll just come off as a freak.)
Now what this does is it demonstrates that:
- You’re a confident person.
- You’re interested in her.
- You’re an alpha male because you’re not breaking off eye contact, you’re maintaining it.
It’s important not to make that mistake of becoming too persistent and too needy by giving her too much attention. That’s why you want to just keep it light, keep it fun, and not be too serious about the whole thing.
What you’ll find if you consistently apply these three flirting tips, is that she’ll actually be laughing and smiling, and she may even signal you to come across and go and talk to her. She will actually open you up and you won’t have even needed to open your mouth.
Just remember to pay attention to your body language. You will be surprised by how powerful these three things in conjunction can do when meeting an attractive woman.
If you want more in-depth tips on how to make body language work for you, then I suggest you check out the Attraction Code, which also covers the other basics of dating that many guys aren’t very knowledgeable about.

Hot Seat
It was a tough Valentine's Day for Google. The No Love for Google website was urging users to "Break up with Google" in a widely disseminated video on the Internet. Meanwhile, another group of activists for Chinese democracy were marketing Goolag apparel to protest the company's tacit approval of authoritarian information policies.
Right now I am watching live streaming video of Congressional testimony about Internet restrictions in China with which American companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Cisco are cooperating. The philosophical issues are interesting and include the question of whether a "right to knowledge" is a human right. Practical concerns about how to regulate a globally distributed Internet that can't be easily commodified for purposes of trade policy certainly merit being on C-SPAN as well. To read more see today's New York Times story, "House Members Criticize Internet Policies in China."

Facts & Statistics
Developing the Arts in Ireland, Arts Council Strategic Overview, 2011-2013
In keeping with Visual Artists Ireland’s strategy, and in support of the Arts Council of Ireland and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s strategies, we maintain a breath and balance of information and support of all visual art forms. Our membership is across the generations of visual artists.
Visual Artists Ireland has a strong ethos that our work is to the benefit of artists at all stages of career and development, and is not solely to the benefit of paid members of Visual Artists Ireland. In 2010 we updated our web presence so that we can provide information on the visual arts to the wider public through the upgrade of our website, and also the provision of information through social networking channels such as Facebook and Twitter, and VAI’s own social networking site, The Common Room.
We have also been active with the visual arts sector, government, local authorities, national and international representative bodies and the media to endeavour that the current understand of the status of professional visual artists reflects the reality of life; the uniqueness of visual artists’ needs; their roles in contemporary Ireland; the benefits of visual artists to the life of Irish society; as well as contributing to policies, strategies, and the development of partnerships.
Our work on behalf of the individual is also accompanied by our continued discussions with, and support services for organisations working in the visual arts, or who may have need to access our network. We work with visual arts service and resource providers, local authorities, development agencies, corporate bodies, and private individuals who require access to professional visual artists.
Since 2009 we have seen an increase in the number of members who have come from other countries to live in Ireland. Rather than isolating them into specific streams, our policy is one of complete inclusion in terms of the work that we undertake.
It is a very specific objective of Visual Artists Ireland to deliver the above in a concise and effective manner, that is both strategic and responsive to long term and immediate needs of the visual arts sector and specifically visual artists.
Some simple statistics – 2010
Feedback – What people say about us…
“…such a lifeline to those of us out in the sticks that I don’t know what I’d do without it.”
“I love the VAI Bulletin its one of my favourite things to see in my inbox!”
“Thank you so much for putting my Cottage and Stables in your e-bulletin. I have had to practically hire a secretary to deal with the response!”
“I am so grateful for Visual Artists Ireland. It has been and is a critical resource for artists. I thank you for your efforts”
“Your service is an invaluable one to us who work in isolation for its information, weight and lobbying efforts in

Are SBCs typically positioned behind a firewall or in front of it? I've done some googling on this subject and haven't found any references to best practices for network deployments of SBCs. I can think of arguments either way. In any case, doesn't it seem that the firewall and SBC appliances will merge? -Bob

Caldera Volcanoes.. The Mythological Beast of Volcanology
Image Wikimedia Commons : Aniakchak Caldera – Alaska
If you’ve ever paid attention to volcanoes, there is a good chance you’re familiar with what a caldera is. For those who are new to the terminology, a caldera is a collapse structure that forms when the magma chamber below a volcano empties, leaving the overlying rock to subside into the ground. Calderas are to volcanoes what an atom bomb is to explosives. They’re the largest, most destructive, and rarest variety around, and because of that, they’re incredibly interesting.
Caldera forming eruptions are interesting and notable to scientists and casual observers alike since they’re both rare, and incredibly powerful. In fact, some caldera-forming eruptions can be so powerful, that they’ve been associated with global climate change, and small-scale extinction events. Due to their potentially cataclysmic nature, there is a lot of misinformation and doom & gloom in the press and media.
Chances are, you’ve heard the title “supervolcano”. The term “supervolcano” was coined by the media to describe the largest caldera-forming eruptions on earth. Ever since the inception of the term, it’s been used to describe any massive volcanic eruption, the likes which haven’t been seen in the modern era. So what are some common myths about calderas and supervolcanoes? Read the guide below!
Debunking Myths Associated With Calderas
Myth – There Are Only 6-7 Supervolcanoes on Earth
Somewhere along the line, the media decided that there were less than 10 supervolcanoes on earth. This myth is a bit difficult to dispel, because there is no real cutoff between “supervolcano” and “really large caldera” as it’s not a true scientific term.
Campi Flegrei in Italy is frequently described as a supervolcano, yet it’s not even 1/10 the size of Lake Toba. If we were to assume that Campi Flegrei is a proper supervolcano, then that means there are over 100 known supervolcanoes on our planet, and it would be on the lower end of the size spectrum. If we’re defining “supervolcano” by capability of producing a VEI – 8 eruption, then it’s true that there are only a few volcanic systems with this capability.
Myth – All Calderas form from explosive eruptions
While more calderas form as a result of a violent eruption, some caldera systems form from a gradual subsistence. Hawaiian volcanoes have calderas that formed slowly following the gradual effusion of basaltic magma, which caused a gradual drop in the size of the magma chamber. Subsistence calderas form most often in mafic shield volcanoes, which are common in oceanic hotspots such as the Galapagos, or the Hawaiian Islands.
Myth – Volcanoes that have had a violent caldera forming eruption are extremely violent by nature
Caldera forming eruptions are more of a cyclical process then they are indicative of a Volcano’s overall nature. Even extremely violent and active volcanoes such as Krakatoa show that they’ll stay active with small-scale eruptions post-collapse. A caldera-forming event typically happens only after a volcanic system has been “plugged” up for a long enough time, allowing pressure to build and magma to evolve to a degree that it can erupt in a dramatic fashion. For some volcanoes, this takes a very long time, others like Krakatoa can recharge much quicker. Some caldera volcanoes will create multiple massive caldera-forming eruptions. Others will only go massive one time, then they’ll sprout several smaller volcanoes after the initial caldera collapse event.
It’s also important to note that there are different varieties of explosive calderas. Caldera volcanoes formed from andesitic arc-volcanism behave in a much different fashion than Caldera volcanoes that form from basaltic rift-oriented volcanism, which typically erupt effusive basalt eruptions, but can create massive rhyolitic eruptions on rare occasion. These caldera systems are usually indicative of a large heat source (basaltic magma) transforming country rock into Rhyolite (the most explosive variety of magma) which later erupts after being disturbed by a fresh injection of basaltic magma.
Myth – Supervolcanoes Are Formed By Hotspots
The largest caldera systems in the world all have a few things in common, yet being hot spot volcanoes is not a similar trait they share. In fact, Yellowstone is the only supervolcano that is known to be formed in association with a mantle plume (hot spot), whereas most other supervolcanoes are located in subduction arcs. What they do have in common is extremely hot and shallow heat sources, typically produced by continental rifting. Rifting occurs when land pulls apart due to largely tectonic reasons. Rifting lowers underlying pressure and thins the surface, which in turn pulls magma and hot rock closer to the surface. Eventually, these large shallow heat sources melt and evolve country rock (often granite) into our familiar friend Rhyolite. If you accumulate enough Rhyolite, let it evolve for a long enough time, then set it off with a fresh injection of magma, you have the ingredients for a massive eruption.
For Yellowstone, the heat source comes from the mantle plume, instead of a rift-oriented heat source (although it’s likely some rifting is occurring as well).
Google Earth Overlays For Caldera Systems – Calderas Outlined in Green or Red (screenshots)
Ecuador has quite a few massive caldera systems, with the Chacana caldera being the largest
Of the 11 large calderas in Kamchatka, the smallest is still 10 square KM..

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Texas ought to win.
Maybe it’s the eyeball test or perception or history, but Texas has immense firepower and, frankly, when you look at the Longhorns, you see a group that oozes height and athleticism and, when hitting on all cylinders, as good a volleyball team as you could imagine.
But then there’s Oregon, which simply confounds you.
Oregon may not look like it should be the team to hoist the trophy Saturday night at the end of the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship, but only a fool would count these Ducks out after what they’ve done the past three matches.
Texas (28-4) of the Big 12 was seeded third when this tournament was set up. The Longhorns beat Colgate, Texas A&M, Florida, and USC to get to this final four and then escaped Michigan in five on Thursday night, winning 15-11 in the fifth.
Texas hasn’t won the title since 1988 and had agonizing endings in the 2008 semifinal (losing to Stanford in five), in the 2009 title match (losing to Penn State in five), and in the 2010 semifinal (losing again to Penn State).
Oregon (30-4) of the Pac-12 was the fifth seed in the tournament, so it’s probably not fair to call the Ducks Cinderellas or anything like that. But, c’mon, Oregon didn’t make the tournament in 2010 and last year lost in the first round to Colorado State. The final four? Oregon has never been this far before and let’s face it, most people thought if anyone from the Pac-12 was going to be here, it would have been Stanford or UCLA or USC or Washington.
Yet in this tournament Oregon rolled past Northern Colorado and Dayton and then beat BYU before stunning Nebraska in Omaha last Saturday to make it here. And then Thursday the Ducks, down a set, stormed back and won the next three to send top-ranked and top-seeded Penn State back to State College.
Both teams have the respective players of the year from their conference. Texas outside hitter Haley Eckerman, a 6’3” sophomore from Waterloo, Iowa, was the Big Ten Player of the Year. Oregon boasts Alaina Bergsma, who gets everyone’s attention for having been Miss Oregon USA, but the 6’3” senior outside hitter from Chandler, Ariz., was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year.
But no one has anyone like Liz Brenner.
To wit: She started playing racquetball at age 5 and won a 6-and-under world championship, the first of 11 such titles. She’s a power forward on the Oregon women’s basketball team. Last year she was a backup catcher on the Oregon softball team that went to the world series. And this year she’s forsaking softball to compete in the javelin and shot put for the Ducks world-renowned track and field program.
“I absolutely love sports,” she said. “Love watching them, love playing them.”
Brenner stands 6’1” – “I’ve been this size since the sixth grade” -- is thick and muscular, moves with a grace that belies her build, and can flat out tattoo a volleyball. When Oregon beat Penn State, Brenner led with 17 kills, had 17 digs, and four block assists. Six of her kills came in that critical second set in which Oregon blew a 20-10 lead before winning 30-28 on Brenner’s big hit.
“I know I’m obviously not the typical volleyball player,” she said. “I’m not super tall or super skinny. But I just use what I have. I use the athleticism and I have the strength, which a lot of people haven’t seen and also I’m pretty tall for someone who plays all the way around, which people haven’t seen either. I think it surprises a lot of people that I can do what I can do.”
None of that is lost on Oregon coach Jim Moore, who signed Brenner as a volleyball player only. But then the last year the Oregon basketball team had some injuries and then the same thing happened in softball, and, well, Moore isn’t complaining.
“Everybody wants to know why she’s such a good serve receiver. It’s because she’s such a good athlete. She just has that hand-eye coordination that you can bring if you play a lot of sports,” Moore said.
“We have so many kids who do nothing but play volleyball right now and they look awkward doing everything because they’re just volleyball players. And that’s all they’ve ever done, where someone like Liz who plays multiple sports brings athleticism to our sport that we don’t have … She knows how to move in space better than most people.”
The lanky Bergsma, appreciates the energy her teammate brings to the team.
“She’s just such a competitor. She’s by far the purest athlete I’ve ever gotten to play with,” Bergsma said. “I mean, people might look at her and think she’s not the same kind of athlete you see a lot of in volleyball, like she doesn’t jump and touch 11 feet and those kinds of things, but I’ve never had a teammate like that. It’s amazing knowing that she’s going to do what has to be done when she needs to.”
Brenner, who had a 3.4 GPA this semester, and who, by the way, touches 10 feet, says volleyball is her favorite and “the sport I absolutely love.” This season she’s second on the team only to Bergsma with 436 kills and is hitting .297 and is by far the team leader in serve reception. She is second only to libero Haley Jacob in digs with 285.
Her team’s success this month isn’t a surprise to Brenner, who not only was twice the Oregon Prep Volleyball Player of the Year, but also the top basketball player.
“From the beginning of this season we knew we were going to be good,” Brenner said. “We knew with the group we have now that this was going to be an extremely important shot for us. All season we’ve been battling to get there and we’re not giving up. We’re going to keep fighting until we do it.”
After Saturday’s championship match, Brenner is taking a week off before joining the basketball team. That team is currently 0-8, and she’ll miss three more games before getting out there on December 31.
“My first game is against UConn,” Brenner said with a smile. Last year she played in 21 games and averaged 5.8 points and 5.8 rebounds. Saturday night’s game not withstanding, she can’t wait.
“I’ve been playing so many sports my whole life, like when I have my week off next week I’m going to be bored out of my mind,” she said with another smile. “Because I’ll have nothing to do.”

The lights are slowly starting to come back on across Fairfield County after Superstorm Sandy and for most, things are slowly but surely starting to return to normal. However, there are still many in our region affected by this fierce storm in need of immediate help. We spoke with a number of groups here in Fairfield County working to help ease the burden and offer some ideas below for ways you can get involved.
In Stamford, The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County, which supports a number of local agencies including the Salvation Army, needs help refilling its pantry and supporting the countless people in the area affected by Sandy. Food Bank Executive Director Kate Lombardo tells us they are in serious need of non-perishable foods like breakfast cereal and Parmalat. You can get a full list of items they need on their website.
Lombardo also says they are looking for groups like local businesses to run food drives. She says the Food Bank will even come pick up the donations for a sizable food drive. If you’d like to volunteer, Lombardo says they are always looking for help sorting and stocking donations at their warehouse. To contact them, call 203.348.8898.
In neighboring Greenwich, Manager of Volunteer Resources and Youth Services at the American Red Cross-Metro NY North Chapter, Andrew Sindell, tells us that due to the overwhelming response to Sandy they are currently not deploying volunteers who are not already trained by the Red Cross. However, he says if you are interested in volunteering to contact them in one to two weeks when the immediate need settles down. There will still be plenty of work to do. Sindell also says individuals in Connecticut looking to get involved can call 211 to find out more.
In Darien, Person-to-Person says they are also seeing a huge need for food right now, especially for clients in Stamford and Norwalk who lost the contents of their refrigerators. P2P also lost power at its own food pantry and had to discard a significant amount of food, mostly meats. They are also in need of clothing donations and have already sent about 150 bags to Norwalk to help residents who have been flooded out of their homes. To help P2P, visit their website or give them a call at 203.655.0048.
In Fairfield, Director of Operation Hope Carla Miklos says their immediate need is for donations of non-perishable food items. They are also looking for donations of gift cards to local grocery stores like Stop and Shop or Shop Rite so clients can restock after losing food this past week. You can reach them at 202.292.5588.
Also in Fairfield, one of the hardest hit shoreline communities, there is an all-volunteer group coming together to mobilize a massive cleanup of the beachfront neighborhoods. Lindsey Morton and a couple of friends came up with the idea to launch Fairfield Beach Relief.
“We all grew up here in Fairfield and after Sandy we were looking to do something to help the victims living near the beach,” said Morton. “It seemed that everyone wanted to help those affected, but were having trouble finding a way to do so. We decided to name the date, time and place and the response was immediate.”
This Sunday November 11, volunteers will be meeting at Sherman School at 9:30 a.m. Groups will be dispatched to clean up affected homes and areas.
“Our hope was that this week, after power is restored, residents would be able to focus on the interior of their homes, especially with another storm in our future and the below-normal temperatures,” said Morton. “This way, we figure volunteers could arrive on Sunday to take care of the outside clean up that needed to be done.”
Volunteers are asked to bring rakes, work gloves, leaf bags, wheelbarrows and other equipment that may help also with the cleanup. Organizers ask that volunteers interested should RSVP via Facebook so they can be prepared with team assignments.
Katie Boland, a Fairfield native and one of the cleanup organizers, says this is all about a community sticking together through thick and thin.
“I grew up in Fairfield and spent many summers at Penfield and Jennings Beach. There's something really special about this community in Fairfield and I am excited to be able to give something back to it.”
At VolunteerSquare, this is just what we love to see happening! Let us know if there’s a community cleanup in your neighborhood so we can share it with our friends.
As you can see, there is no shortage of ways to help out. Even if not with one of these agencies, check in on your neighborhood or at your local school, community center or place of worship. Many are organizing smaller food drives and cleanups. As always, remember to check out Fairfield County-based VolunteerSquare.com to see volunteer opportunities throughout the year. It’s free and easy!

I just got this card in the mail for a gallery shindig tonight at the Art Institute of Austin. It features works from some of my very close friends and a few of my own pieces. We printed our stuff big. I’m talking four feet wide big. It looks neato. So if you happen to be wandering the streets nearby you should come in. I hear they have free food at these things.

ENERGY SECURITY
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, in these opening weeks of the 110th Congress, the Democratic majority in the House has succeeded in passing a package of bills that is designed to secure America. We passed a bill to improve our Nation's ability to prevent another 9/11 style attack on our country. We have made life a little more secure for millions in the United States who toil at the minimum wage, and millions of young people who leave college with a degree and a mountain of debt. We have secured the ability of America's medical researchers to explore and exploit the life-saving potential of stem cells. We have committed this government to safeguarding our economic security by ending years of fiscal irresponsibility. And today, we have begun what may be the most important project of all, to ensure America's energy security by ending our dependence on foreign oil and developing clean, green renewable sources of energy.
Ensuring our energy security will require more than just the protection of American oil supplies from terrorists in hostile nations. It will also mean we find homegrown fuel sources that reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
It will mean that we pare down our energy consumption and promote efficiency. It will mean that we transition to renewable energy sources that ensure a clean, dependable energy supply for years to come.
There are those who say that it would cost too much to shift our infrastructure over to new energy sources. They say that the market has decided that coal and oil are the cheapest energy, and that switching to renewable energy would harm our economy.
This is shortsighted, false, and, ultimately, dangerous because much of the true cost of oil and coal don't appear on the gas pump or on our electric bills. Extracting coal and oil harms the environment and burning fossil fuels produces pollution that clogs our cities and greenhouse gases that warm our atmosphere. Tens of thousands of Americans get lung cancer and other respiratory diseases from power plant air pollution and this, too, is part of the true cost of ``cheap' energy. These expenses are paid by the American people just as surely as they pay their electric bills.
But to find the true cost of a barrel of oil, we must look further, to a foreign policy beholden to oil and gas, and that price is too steep.
Today the House passed a bill that will roll back tax breaks for oil and gas companies and reform the royalty relief system that has cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. The $13 billion dollars saved by this overdue reform will be placed in a strategic reserve to be spent on programs to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and alternative fuels, promote energy efficiency, and step up research on advanced energy technologies. Initiatives like these are the only way to permanently reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and this bill is a good first step on the road to true energy security.
European and Asian competitors are already developing technologies that will reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions of greenhouse gases. Rather than American entrepreneurs, it is our competitors who are prospering from these developments. By marshaling America's great strengths, our inventiveness, our technological prowess, and our entrepreneurial spirit, we can better secure our Nation, save our environment, and become the world leader in this cutting-edge industry.
We must encourage the development of flexible-fuel and hybrid vehicles. These vehicles can be built with today's technology and will enable a smooth transition from gasoline to biofuels.
We must raise the corporate average fuel economy standards.
We must invest in research and development of new energy technologies, like wind power, cheap solar cells, plug-in hybrid cars, and cellulosic ethanol. The new energy economy will be dominated by rapid innovation, and the scientific investment we make now will be paid back with interest by the technologies it creates.
We must encourage employers to offer mass-transit benefits so that employees can commute without their cars, and support mass transit systems around the country.
We must pass global warming legislation to reduce our output of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Many of America's most successful companies have realized that something must be done to contain global warming and they are now pushing Congress to lead.
We know what must be done to end our dangerous addiction to oil. All we need now is the will to do it.
Madam Speaker, we have lost so much time since 9/11, time that could have been so profitably used to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. But it is not too late to abruptly and constructively change course. The American people are ready for a clean energy economy, and the bill we passed today will begin to put our country on that new road to energy independence and a more secure future.

The Dakota Student - Mathern Aims for Top State Gov. Spot
Veteran of state senate campaigns for health care, student issues, more.
Ryan Johnson
North Dakota voters will choose their governor and lieutenant governor in the November election. This year's race features Republican Governor John Hoeven running again for a third term, with Democratic candidate Tim Mathern and Independent candidate DuWayne Hendrickson challenging the incumbent.
Democratic-NPL
Tim Mathern has served on the state senate for the last 22 years. He became the first person in his family to graduate from college after receiving his degree from North Dakota State University.
Mathern went on to earn a masters degree in social work from the University of Nebraska, and later earned a masters degree in public administration from Harvard University at the age of 50.
For 27 years, he worked at Catholic Family Service/Catholic Charities, and is currently working at Prairie St. John's Hospital in Fargo.
Health care
Mathern said that he has worked throughout his time as a senator to address health care issues in the state.
He put together a bill in the 1990s that attempted to provide more resources for pregnant women and new mothers in order to ensure they would have the proper resources to help them. He said that he wanted to help resolve as much as possible some of the main reasons why women chose to get abortions.
The bill addressed health care for pregnant women, proper care for children, daycare services, family life education services as well as child support issues. It was passed, something he said was a proud moment in his career since the subject of abortion tend to be divisive and controversial.
"When I look back, I would say that's probably pretty close to the top of the list - creating a bill where people on both sides of an issue and both parties work together to actually do something positive," he said.
Student issues
According to Mathern, he has been addressing student issues during his senate career as well. He said that sticking to his principles has meant that he supports policies that help everyone obtain a quality education.
"I pretty much vote quickly on all of the issues," he said. "I say if you've got your basic values down, really it isn't that difficult."
One of his plans if elected is to create a tuition repayment program for students that start or business or work in North Dakota after their graduation from a state school. Under his plan, one-eighth of a graduate's tuition cost total would be given back to them as an income tax credit every year for up to eight years.
He said this plan would use the income tax system rather than developing new government bureaucracy. Mathern added that it's important for the state to be innovative in providing incentives for students to live in the state after their graduation.
He estimated that the plan would cost $11 million for the first year and the funding would come from the general fund. Even though this is a large amount of money, Mathern said that the indirect benefit of keeping the students here would far outweigh the costs.
"It has great potential to basically say to our young people, here is a reason to stay," he said. "We give our young people so many reasons to leave."
According to Mathern, North Dakota has become a low-wage state that may attract some companies but end up underpaying workers. He said that efforts by Governor John Hoeven to get new companies to the state are sending the wrong message to college students that would like to remain in the area after graduation.
"I don't think we should give millions and millions of dollars to create jobs that are low-paying," he said. "I just think that's counterproductive."
He also supports proposals for a two-year tuition freeze and increases in grants to students.
"As far as I'm concerned, this is all an investment and this is all good news for North Dakota," he said.
Election goals
Mathern said that he would remain focused on health care as a top priority if elected. His plans call for providing coverage for the 15,000 uninsured people between the ages of 1 and 21 by extending an existing program called Healthy Steps.
Under current arrangements, the federal government reimburses North Dakota $.74 to the dollar for money it spends on insuring its young people. Mathern said the current eligibility cap of 150 percent of poverty level should be removed in order to open up access to the benefits.
"This is not a costly program ... it's taking what's already available to us and extending it to everybody, not just some folks," he said.
He said that he would also work to promote wellness and prevention efforts that can reduce future health issues and therefore lower health care costs by up to $2 billion in North Dakota.
Upgrading rural hospital infrastructure and creating an income-based health insurance plan for adults are also top health care priorities, he said.
Lifelong Rolette, N.D. resident Merle Boucher is Mathern's running mate, and has been leader of the House Democratic caucus since 1996. Boucher taught at Rolette High School for 20 years and is also a farmer.
He attended NDSU-Bottineau and Mayville State University, and earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education.
The other two candidates, John Hoeven and DuWayne Hendrickson will be featured in Tuesday's edition.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. CHU. I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 2681 and H.R. 2250.
Some in Congress want to use the jobs crisis as an excuse to roll back clean air protections that will prevent 9,000 premature deaths every year. Today, we are debating an unnecessary, wasteful bill that only delays long overdue pollution-reducing regulations at the expense of Americans' health. This is one of the Republicans' so-called ``jobs bills,'' conducting redundant and costly studies that will do nothing but add paper to landfills instead of creating jobs by upgrading cement kilns so that they are no longer a threat to public health.
These studies have been done. Americans are still breathing mercury, arsenic, and lead; but we have a means to clean it up. It's called the Clean Air Act, and it was passed in 1963. It is known as one of the most successful pieces of legislation in congressional history; yet the Republican majority is trying to gut it over and over, bill after bill, wasting time and energy that could be spent passing legislation that would help create new jobs for Americans. Today's bill would cancel requirements to clean up toxic air pollution, smog, and soot from cement plants.
So, while big companies save a penny or two, American families will face billions of dollars in increased health costs. Thousands more people will go to hospitals with cases of bronchitis, heart attacks, asthma attacks, and thousands more will die prematurely. These pollutants are also neurotoxins, causing major harm to the development of unborn babies, infants, and children.
While the majority claims that eliminating this antipollution rule for the cement industry will be good for business and the economy, the EPA rule institutes new standards based on the best available technology already in use in the industry. Let me repeat that. This rule that the Republicans are trying to weaken is based on the best available technology already in use voluntarily by a good portion of the companies in the industry.
What does that mean? These antipollution standards are actually achievable today, and companies are already using them and making a profit.
So today's bill is just another in a long string of anti-environment/anti-health attacks that look out for corporate interests over the best interests of American families. We cannot afford to give polluters a free pass to spew deadly, toxic air pollution that hurts our health and puts our children at risk. No matter what anyone says, increased pollution is not a sustainable path to job creation. Instead, we should be saving lives, saving our environment, and investing in the clean-tech jobs of the future.
I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill and the anti-environment/anti-American health bill that is up for a vote tomorrow.
I yield back the balance of my time.

The hearing will come to order. Good morning and thank you for joining us today for another in our series of hearings on tax extenders.
During our Member Day hearing in April we had the opportunity to hear from our House colleagues about the merits of extending--or not extending--many of these tax policies. By all accounts it was a productive exercise. I commend Chairman Camp for providing the opportunity. His leadership in setting forth a transparent process for reviewing tax extenders is what the American people expect of their representatives. The days of simply rubber-stamping the extenders package are behind us.
Today we pivot to exploring ideas on the framework that Congress should use to evaluate tax extenders. Our witnesses will share their views on the principles of good tax policy, and the specific metrics against which Congress should test the merits of particular provisions. I look forward to the conversation.
Before we begin I would like to take a moment to thank Congressman Thompson for serving as Ranking Member for this hearing. Unfortunately, Congressman Neal couldn't be with us today because he's attending a funeral in Springfield for a fallen police officer.
I now yield to Mr. Thompson for his opening statement.

Writer Smash
My greatest difficulty as a writer?
Perhaps the whole fickle publishing industry, using authors as content machines and paying nothing to live on.
Or the changing author-agent-publisher relationship, backlash and bitterness, a traditional route and a new route and neither of the routes seemingly open to anyone.
Maybe Amazon offering an elitist “library” for those who have the money, keeping titles from every other platform, giving such an easy option writers fall for it even if it hurts them in the long run.
No, my greatest difficulty isn’t any of these things. It’s all of these things. Add to this the daily HOW TO WRITE, YOU MUST READ THIS TO WRITE, and 10 THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU WRITE AGAINST YOUR PUNY WILL articles tweeted from midnight to midnight. Authors I know losing faith in their work, in their process, thinking they need someone else’s process, lamenting the new process, becoming utterly processed and never writing a word. Arguments about self-publication, free books, the debate about the value of books. “Libraries are irrelevant in the new world order.” Whose new world order? And on. And on. And—
Not one of these things has the power to stop me from writing. But together they all do. The overwhelming writer-related negativity daily beaming into my brain from every corner of the world is enough to make me a little angry, and it’s hard to write while angry. Anger is not productive.
This is my greatest difficulty as a writer: staying calm and remembering that all these things are not writing. Only writing is writing.
To overcome this obstacle I’ve recognized that my access to this difficulty comes most often from the internet. This is how I read news, blog posts, twitter, and so forth. I regulate this access so I’m not bombarded with negativity before I get a chance to write each day. When the negativity arrives, breaking through my carefully laid plans, I see it for what it is and keep it separate from my work. Just because I’m writing a short story doesn’t mean the Kindle Select program will snap it up without my consent. Just because I’m writing a book doesn’t mean I must argue about whether I will eventually submit it to agents or editors or publishers or… Kindle Select. While I’m writing, the most important thing is the story. I breathe, I step back from the world, and make myself small and quiet—including any worries or judgements I have about the publishing world—so the story can speak up.
Basically I’m the writing equivalent of Bruce Banner. Most of the time I’m brilliant and productive, but I don’t like me when I’m angry.
I just… have to breathe.
And write.
Jen,
Bingo!
But, there you are, here I am. We could be doing the dishes or taking a walk. Or, posting and commenting.
Excuse me, I have to write another chapter in my novel. (Right after I check my google analytics.)
I see Social Media Anonymous emerging.
I’ll do a Facebook page!
Argh!
Only writing is writing!
And isn’t it wonderful when we remember that and get down to it.
Wise words–and an epiphany I found comfort in and wrote about awhile back, too. (In a totally different manner and rant, lol.
)
In my most obstinate days (which I try to cultivate, heh heh), I remind myself there have always been naysayers and doubting Thomases, have always prophets of doom and gloom predicting the death of publishing, the end of education, the demise of readers (and those who even can read), etc., etc., etc. …
Whatever. I’ll be at my computer. Or scribbling in a notebook. And loving it, because while I’m actually writing, not thinking about writing, all the negativity and fear floods away and I’m somewhere else entirely.
Thanks for the great post and reminder. Only writing is writing–and thank goodness for that.
You’re right–There have always been all those things… and always writers, too. Hooray!
Great post, Jen! I completely agree.
Thanks Ang
Your article made me smile.
I’m glad!

Michael Pollan, “Unhappy Meals”
Now this is what food should look like!
Pollença food market, Pollença, Mallorca.
(via withenoughbutter)
“Unhappy Meals,” an article by Michael Pollan published in the New York Times in 2007, chronicles the transition of America’s idea of health from eating healthy food to eating nutrients. His motto? “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Sounds simple enough, but when you start to think about the different kinds of edible substances, not necessarily food, that one can get in the supermarket, this motto becomes more and more difficult to uphold. An average American grocery store is chock full of “low” and “free” foods (i.e. low-fat, or sugar-free), with labels making seemingly outlandish health claims. In fact, the majority of supermarkets have only a small section of the store dedicated to fresh fruits and vegetables, which often is just the perimeter of the store, and the countless center aisles are devoted to processed snack foods and quick frozen meals.
The old saying “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are,” is extremely applicable here. While Brillat-Savarin may have meant that literally, I believe it can be applied in a broader sense to apply not only to a single person, but to American culture as a whole. Self control isn’t exactly one of American culture’s strong suits, and we are often associated with excess and obesity. So why is it that the aisles in the grocery store are filled with “health” foods, but we keep getting bigger? It all comes back to self control. We can’t call it quits after one cookie, so we buy low-fat, sugar-free cardboard cookies that leave our mouths dry and sweet teeth (?) unsatisfied after we binge-eat half the package. And the sad thing is, the people who eat like this often honestly believe they are being “healthy” because it’s low-fat! Of course, I’m using “we” in an extremely collective sense; I’m very much aware that not everyone embodies these eating habits, but sadly many do.
According to Michael Pollan, I find mind-boggling, is that the nutrition of fresh fruits and vegetables is so often overlooked, and instead the attention is directed to the pre-packaged, freeze-dried snacks in the center aisles. Maybe it’s because we live in a time that medicine is seen as the first resort, not the last. When you have a headache, you don’t have a few glasses of water and see how you feel, you take an Advil. When you have a sore throat, you don’t gargle with salt water and wait a day, you immediately go to the doctor and insist on an antibiotic. When it comes to our diets, we can’t dilly-dally with meager vegetables! We need results! Food is subsequently being treated as a medicine, with added fiber and higher levels of vitamins, and the unaltered from-the-earth fruits and vegetables are left in the dust.
When I was young, I used to love to go to the Science Center. We would usually go on rainy days in the Summer when my mom was probably ready to kill my brother and me if we ran around the house, or asked to watch T.V., one more time. Like most museums, the exit was always through the gift shop. This place was awesome. Practically overflowing with everything from bouncy balls to k’nex roller coasters (remember k’nex?) and any other weird science-y thing you could imagine. I have a very vivid memory of picking up a package of “Astronaut Food,” and asking the cashier what it was; there was no way that rectangular block of foam was actually food… was it? She explained that when in space, astronauts had to eat freeze-dried meals, which gave them the same nutrients they would get when eating on earth. Is that what our future looks like? Just getting the nutrients we think we need, but in bland, freeze-dried form? I certainly hope not. Follow Pollan’s guidelines for eating, to steer us away from a future of astronaut food:
1. Don’t eat anything your great-great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.
2. Avoid those food products that come bearing health claims.
3. Especially avoid food products containing ingredients that are a) unfamiliar, b) unpronounceable, c) more than five in number— or that contain high-fructose corn syrup.
4. Get out of the supermarket and shop at farmers markets instead.
5. Pay more (for quality foods), eat less.
6. Eat mostly plants, especially leaves.
7. Eat more like the French. Or the Japanese. Or the Italians. Or the Greeks. In other words, have a relationship with your food; don’t just treat it as fuel for the machine.
8. Cook. And if you can, plant a garden.
9. Eat like an omnivore.

While Europe struggles with its ongoing debt crisis, American businesses and financial firms are doing business by making loans and grabbing assets owned by European banks (NYSEARCA:KBE), according to the New York Times. The activities have included mortgages on high-end hotels and office buildings in Dublin. The activities come as the European banks struggle to raise capital and decrease their balance sheets as requested by regulators.

(NASDAQ:SHLD) announced plans to close between 100 to 120 Sears and Kmart stores and take as high as $2.4 billion in charges; its fourth-quarter pretax profit is expected to drop by more than half as compared to the previous year. The gloomy news comes as the retailer reported fourth-quarter comparable sales dropped 5.2 percent for the eight weeks through December 25. The drops were seen from weaknesses in consumer electronics and apparel.
With Research in Motion’s (NASDAQ:RIMM) disastrous year and recent multi-year share price lows, investors and analysts are asking the company’s board of directors to step up and steer the company’s direction. This could be done by pushing for a strategic shift, ousting co-CEOS Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, or selling the company, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Hot Feature: Wealth Disparity Grows Between Lawmakers and their Constituents
Today’s markets were mixed because:
1) Home prices. Though equities closed the day mostly flat, they started the day sharply lower on news that U.S. home prices fell more than forecast in the year ended in October, indicating that the housing market continues to be weighed down by foreclosures. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 major U.S. cities fell 3.4 percent from October 2010 to October 2011, after decreasing 3.5 percent in the 12-months ended in September, the group said today.
2) Consumer confidence. Stocks quickly reversed their decline when the Conference Board announced its index of consumer sentiment rose to the highest level in eight months in December, with a reading well above the average during the recession that ended in June 2009. Improving sentiment might help sustain household purchases, which account for roughly 70 percent of the U.S. economy. The Conference Board’s measure of present conditions increased this month as well, as did its measure of expectations for the next six months, while the share of consumers saying they believed jobs were plentiful rose in December to its highest since January 2009 and those saying employment was hard to get decreased to the lowest since January 2009. More respondents also said they expected more jobs to become available in the next six months, and that they expect their incomes will likely increase as well.
3) Sears. Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:SHLD) on Tuesday reported a sharp drop in holiday sales compared to a year ago, and said the results will force them to close 100 to 120 Sears and Kmart stores. As a result, SHLD shares plunged 26 percent, dragging down other retail stocks on fear that Sears might not be alone when it comes to underwhelming holiday sales figures. J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP), Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS), Saks (NYSE:SKS), The Bon-Ton Stores (NASDAQ:BONT), and Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) all closed the day lower.

An alleged con man accessed Waltham High School in May and stole an SAT test booklet from a safe, Waltham Public Schools Superintendent Susan Nicholson revealed this week.
"We don't know why they would do it," Nicholson said, calling it a breach of school security.
Nicholson made the announcement during a Sept. 12 citywide PTO meeting at Kennedy Middle School. New test booklets were quickly brought in and the test went was administered as scheduled for June 2.
The man entered the school at around 2:30 p.m. (after the sign in desk is torn day for the day) as students were being released and went to the guidance office, Nicholson said. The man identified himself as an employee of ETS, the company that administers the SAT tests, Nicholson said. The man said he needed to check on something with a group of test booklets, which are kept in a safe, she said. The staffer and the man went to the safe where she photocopied his license and allowed him to see the booklets, Nicholson said.
"When pressed for additional identification, he said, 'I'm all set'," Nicholson said. "No one noticed that he was able to hide [the test booklet] on his person. He did leave the guidance office, as far as we could tell, with one copy of the test booklet."
Nicholson said the incident was later reported to the Waltham Police Department, which investigated it. Investigators later determined the man's licenses and phone number were fake, she said. While investigators were unable to determine the man's identity, Nicholson said ETS showed school officials a composite photo of the alleged thief they believe took the booklet. Nicholson said investigators believe the same man is responsible for a similar incident in Newton three years ago.
The man was also spotted in Waltham High School on the evening of May 30, the night before the theft, Nicholson said. Investigators believe he was casing the school's security, she said.
As a result of the theft, Nicholson said school officials are taking steps to tighten test and school building security. Staff in the building at night will be "more vigilant" about building visitors and have janitors ask unrecognized visitors for identification and check with the office on the reason for the visit, Nicholson said.
ANNOUNCING THE THEFT
School officials gave differing answers when asked why the incident was not announced until now. When asked if the matter was previously disclosed, Nicholson said she had reported it to police and the school committee and said that was public record and said she did not know whether a public notice was ever distributed about the theft.
"I don't think that there was any intention to not say anything," Nicholson said. "We followed all the protocols including a police investigation."
No school committee member ever mentioned it at a school committee meeting, according to a review of the meeting minutes since May. A search of the web for media reports on the theft turned up no information. Also, Nicholson told meeting attendees of the incident in words that indicated she had never announced it before.
Mayor Jeanette McCarthy told Waltham Patch she learned of the incident after a constituent asked her about it. McCarthy said she later called Nicholson about it.

Across Pa., Abandoned Wells Litter The Land
The state estimates that about 325,000 wells have been drilled since the mid-1800s, but the locations of 200,000 of them are unknown. This proves problematic when new wells occasionally intersect abandoned ones, and gas rockets up to the surface in a geyser.

Last night saw heavy snow fall across most of the South of England. I know some people will say that four inches of snow is not that much, but for us here in Sussex it is quite unusual to see that much snow in one day.
What has been most surprising is that although it has continued snowing all day, the main roads in our area are quite clear (the photo above is a country lane nearby). That will all change tonight when the temperature drops below zero and everything turns to ice.

(Great dancing/trite story)
@T_Basic:Love of great dancing is enough to make you see this movie, even tough you have to sit through the trite story.
From the opening dance number on the streets of Miami to the closing flash dance at a container port, the Step Up cast is truly a revolutionary dance ensemble.
You'll have to sit through a story you've seen one too many times about the poor little rich girl (Kathryn McCormick) who wants to be a dancer over daddy's objections. She meets the poor guy from the wrong side of the tracks (Ryan Guzman), joins The Mob, a group of local street dancers, falls in love and tries to convince Daddy (Peter Gallagher) to cancel his plans to tear down the neighborhood and build his hotel.
The dancing is over the top, ranging from perfectly choreographed group numbers to individual and duet sets.
Posters in the lobby warn you that there is one dance routine that may be too disturbing after the recent shootings in Colorado. It involves attack weapons and gas masks in a dance routine.
It all comes down to the developer's decision to destroy the neighborhood for the sake of "progress,” leading up to a corny ending.
There is also the questions of where these economically deprived young people get the money for their elaborate costumes, props and electronic equipment and how they put together these elaborate dance routines overnight. But hey, this is the movies, and the positive escapism makes for feel good moments and spectacular dancing, so just go with the flow.
Rated PG-13, with some violence and some pretty sensual dancing.

IMBALANCE OF GOVERNMENTAL POWER: Rhode Island is one of the few states in the union where one branch of government is so clearly more powerful than the other two. Of course in our little bastion of political patronage, the most powerful branch by a long shot is the legislative branch. The Speaker of the House exerts far more power than the governor or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Senate President's power trails that of the Speaker only marginally. This has been accomplished over the years in part by the Speaker and the Senate President ensuring that judgeships are filled largely by their political friends – judges who will seldom rule against them in matters that might diminish their power over the executive branch. In essence, the legislative branch has "bought" the judicial branch in order to maintain its preeminent position in the government triumvirate.
This "imbalance of power" is being strengthened every year by the appointment of magistrates – "junior judges" who will likely be elevated to full judges at some point. Last week the Speaker's legal counsel and a former state senator were nominated for magistrate positions. This apparent circumvention of the 1994 law that intended to ensure judges are selected based on merit instead of political patronage has resulted in the number of magistrates exploding from only two in the early '90s to 21 today.
The "separation of powers" amendment to the R.I. Constitution attempted to remedy this imbalance of power among the three branches. It has met with only limited success, partly because it is hard to change old habits in the General Assembly. After all, it isn't easy to give up power. The appointment of magistrates by the legislative branch after they have been nominated by the judicial branch that is itself filled with legislative appointees, deprives the executive branch of its constitutional power to nominate judges. So much for separation of powers in R.I.
CONTRASTING EDC LOANS: One is amazed at the contrast between two EDC loans that have recently made the news. One, of course, is the ill-advised $75 million loan to 38 Studios – the company that promised us 450 jobs but is now in default and has released all of its employees. Contrast that whole saga with the courting of an energy technology company, Utilidata, by General Treasurer Gina Raimondo. Utilidata was brought to R.I. with only a $500,000 EDC loan. Not only is it successful thus far, it has already added 12 positions to our workforce and plans to add 35 more jobs with average salaries of $91,000 per year.
So, let's do the math. Seventy-five million dollars to 38 Studios for a promised 450 jobs that have now evaporated; that's $166,000 of taxpayer investment per job. Five hundred thousand dollars to Utilidata for a promised 47 jobs; that's $10,600 per job. Wow! What a difference! The $75 million lent to 38 Studios could have gone to 150 companies at $500,000 each and, if the Utilidata formula successfully prevailed, would have resulted in over 7,000 new jobs for R.I.
It just goes to show that Governor Chafee and other opponents of the huge loan guarantee to 38 Studios were right. And it shows that Gina Raimondo, a former venture capitalist, is far more capable of recognizing a company's potential for success than the collective guesswork exercised at the EDC. She should chair the EDC instead of the governor.
FISCAL COINCIDENCE: It is pure coincidence, but it is a striking one. 38 Studios declares bankruptcy, leaving Rhode Islanders to pick up the loan guarantee tab of $102 million. Coincidentally, the projected state surplus for the current fiscal year amounts to $102.7 million. So the huge ill-conceived taxpayer investment that has resulted in what appears to be a total loss wipes out the state's surplus. Just when we thought the surplus might be a harbinger of a fiscally stable future, the result of a bad loan comes along to shatter our hopes. It looks like Rhode Island just has bad juju!
VALEDICTORIANS' CAREER GOALS: Forty-six area high school valedictorians featured in last Sunday's Providence Journal indicated their career goals. The distribution of aspirations among these smartest of the smart is indicative of where our country is headed. Twenty of the 46 plan to pursue careers in medicine. This clearly follows the "graying of America" as the medical needs of an older population become greater and, unfortunately, the costs become higher. Of concern, only seven want to enter the field of business; not a good sign for an economy already losing ground on the world stage. Worse, only four want to become engineers. This is ameliorated somewhat by the seven who will pursue scientific research, but the relatively small combination points to an insufficient emphasis on science and technology in our high schools. The most refreshing revelation? Only three of the 46 want to become lawyers. In a country whose problems are greatly exacerbated by the ever-increasing number of avaricious attorneys who actively promote costly litigation, this disinterest in joining a group so infested with bottom-feeders is encouraging.
OLD GUN BECOMES YOUNG GUN: The national Republican Party has elevated Rhode Island Republican congressional candidate Brendon Doherty, former State Police superintendent, from one of 112 "on the radar" candidates to one of 21 "young guns," a designation that will likely mean much more support – both financial and organizational. More important, it indicates the national party believes that current Congressman David Cicilline will be one of the sitting Democratic congressmen most easily defeated in November. Cicilline's weakness stems, of course, from his involvement in Providence's financial mess and his dishonesty with voters about the city's financial health as he was leaving the mayor's position and vying for his congressional seat. It must make Doherty, the not-so-young guy who carried a gun for the State Police for so long, feel great to now be designated a "young gun." And it must make Cicilline, the culprit running away from his record in Providence, worry doubly now that more figurative guns are out to capture him.

For example, she said Royal Caribbean now "charges for food in the dining room that used to come with your cruise. Surf and turf is $38 but surf and turf used to be part of the dinner. The dining room had been sacrosanct in terms of hands-off, no extra fees, except for liquor. On Celebrity cruises, you go to a French restaurant and you pay to get in, and they greet you with a glass of Champagne, then you look at the bill and see it's an extra $18."

More than half of Carnival bookings involve more than one state room, no doubt many booked by family groups.
Even luxury lines, which tend to attract an older crowd than mass-market ships, are seeing more children. Crystal Cruises saw family groups increase 30 percent in 2012 over 2011, said spokeswoman Mimi Weisband. "Our youngest world cruiser is 2 ½," she added.

On this day, Jan. 31, in 2000, following a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta, two people were fatally stabbed in a fight between Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis and his companions and another group of people.
Lewis, then 24, was one of three men charged with murder in the deaths of Jacinth Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24. The charge against Lewis was dropped during the trial, with Lewis pleading guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice and testified against his co-defendants. But the other men were acquitted.
The NFL fined him $250,000 before the start of the 2000 season. Lewis then led the Baltimore Ravens to the Super Bowl XXXV title Jan. 28, 2001.
Lewis and the Ravens are playing for Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday.

Gina McCarthy, President Obama’s nominee to replace Lisa Jackson as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, has stonewalled Congress about the clean air rules she has been developing, according to lawmakers who demand access to “secret data” pertaining to the regulations.
“EPA has continually refused to make public the basic scientific data underlying virtually all of the Agency’s claimed benefits from new Clean Air Act (CAA) rules,” Sen. David Vitter, R-La., and Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, wrote in a sharp letter to McCarthy, who oversees the development of CAA regulations.
“You,” they continued.
Vitter and Smith fired off the letter today as President Obama nominated McCarthy to serve as EPA administrator. “I think there is nobody who can do a better job in filling Lisa’s shoes permanently than my nominee who’s standing beside me here — Gina McCarthy,” Obama said this morning. “As Assistant EPA Administrator, Gina has focused on practical, cost-effective ways to keep our air clean and our economy growing. She’s earned a reputation as a straight shooter. She welcomes different points of views.”
The Republicans who oversee the EPA are less confident that McCarthy is a “straight shooter,” despite Obama’s comment.
“The EPA’s new CAA regulations are expected to be some of the most costly the federal government has ever issued,” Vitter and Smith wrote today. “Relying on secret data to support these rules is not acceptable. The public and outside scientists must be able to independently verify the EPA’s claims, especially when the results are contradicted by so many other studies.”
Jackson resigned earlier this year — a common enough move for veterans of a first-term administration. But her resignation also came, incidentally, as Congress and the EPA inspector general were investigating her use of a secret email account to conduct official EPA business under the alias, Richard Windsor.

A Herndon father shot and killed his wife and two teenage boys before taking his own life, Fairfax County police said Wednesday.
The preliminary investigation found that 57-year-old Albert Peterson shot each member of his family in the upper body inside their home at 13391 Point Rider Lane.
The bodies were discovered by police Tuesday morning after co-workers called authorities to say their colleague had not shown up for work in two days.
Killed were Albert Peterson, 52-year-old Kathie Peterson, and their two children, 16-year-old Matt, a sophomore at Westfield High School, and 13-year-old Chris, a Rachel Carson Middle School student.
The Northern Virginia community was trying to come to grips with the deaths.
The head of Blackbird Technologies in Herndon, where Kathie Peterson worked in procurement, said in a statement that employees there were "still trying to absorb the shock of this tragedy."
"[Kathie] will be remembered as a high-energy, devoted parent who always had a smile to share," CEO Peggy Styer said. "She often told stories about her sons, their sports and community activities. She is already missed."
The Petersons' church, the Floris United Methodist Church in Herndon, organized a candlelight vigil for Wednesday night. "Everyone is feeling a great deal of grief over this loss," Rev. Tom Berlin said, "and is searching for answers that are not known at this time."
Students, teachers and staff at Westfield High School, where the Matthew was a sophomore, held a tearful prayer circle Wednesday morning. Many of the students wore black as a tribute to the victims.
During the day, classmates took photos of empty chairs and desks where Matt or Chris would normally be sitting, and put them out in social media.
Matt's teammates on the wrestling team tried to cope with the loss of their cheerful teammate.
"Matt was honestly the greatest kid alive... always had a smile on his face.. and the best teammate always encouraging us," wrote @eddiepark1.
The Petersons, who lived on the corner of the entrance to the cul de sac, were described as the neighborhood greeters, often seen on their porch, grilling or kicking around a soccer ball.
Neighbors say they last saw the Peterson family at a community picnic.
Alvaro Lopes also told WNEW that Albert Peterson had been suicidal and had also been taking heart medication that may have altered his moods.
'He seemed dizzy... just different,' Lopes said. 'Hearing about what happened today made me think that could have something to do with it.'
The news of the murder-suicide comes two years to the day that another Westfield student was killed in a high-profile case.
Bo Rupp died Sept. 26, 2010 after he darted out in traffic and was struck by a vehicle in Centreville. Rupp, 15, was also a sophomore who wrestled, as well as played football and lacrosse.
Rupp's family sued the company that makes the alcoholic beverage Four Loko, saying the death contributed to his death.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota researchers will soon get text messages from dead moose.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said Friday it will conduct research aimed at better understanding the sharp decline in the state's moose population. Through a combination of GPS technology and implanted devices, researchers think they can get a quicker handle on the locations and causes of moose deaths.
Researchers believe the study has value beyond the iconic giant of the north woods, because the ailments killing moose could shed light on health threats to other species, including humans.
Starting later this month, wildlife resource officials plan to capture 100 adults and 50 calves in northeastern Minnesota. All of them will be fitted with $2,500 tracking collars and many will also have $900 mortality implant transmitters put in their digestive tracts.
Those with the implants will be the most valuable research targets because when an animal's heart stops beating it will trigger an instant text message to researchers, who will get coordinates for finding the carcass to help them retrieve it within 24 hours. That's key because moose organs decompose quickly or the animals get ravaged by prey, meaning researchers can't get a good read on what's causing them to die.
"We know the population is declining. We don't know exactly why," said Lou Cornicelli, the DNR's wildlife research manager.
Alerts from the moose with only GPS collars will go out if there is inactivity for more than six hours. Cornicelli compared the technology to "life alert" necklaces some senior citizens use to summon emergency responders. "It actually sends a text message to researchers saying, 'Hey, I'm likely dead.'"
Under older technology, it could take a week to 10 days to find the dead animal. Even if scavengers get to the dead moose first, the new equipment will log key vital statistics as well as ambient temperatures.
Last year there were an estimated 4,200 moose in the state — about half as many as there were in a 2006 species survey. Moose can live as long as 20 years but most die much sooner. Erika Butler, a wildlife veterinarian, pointed to a troubling trend of more moose dying in what should be their prime years and in seasons that are typically more favorable to their health.
The equipment and resulting data will actually feed into multiple studies. The two main studies are expected to cost a combined $1.6 million, with much of the money coming from a special trust fund devoted to environment and natural resources programs.
Butler said the moose research could have human health implications. She cited prior studies of moose carcasses that alerted health officials to the existence of a strain of mosquito-borne encephalitis that could threaten horses and people.
Officials said they may not be able to reverse conditions causing the moose population decline, but they hope the research will allow them to mitigate things.
"You want to understand what's going on," said moose project leader Glenn DelGiudice. "You can't just try to manage by the seat of the pants."

In our rush to succeed we often find
ourselves out of balance with our
general well-being… and looking a
bit tired as well. Both can be easily
remedied with strategically timed spa
visits. Here are some of the city's more
interesting options.
ANNE SÉMONIN SIGNATURE FACIAL
THE SPA AT THE FOUR SEASONS
Just in time for spring, the latest luxury
offered by the Four Seasons spa is the Anne
Sémonin Signature Facial, an intensive,
customized treatment designed to pamper and
heal according to your skin type. The Fours
Seasons is the only Washington spa to provide
the Anne Sémonin line.
To begin, an esthetician performs an
analysis of your skin to customize the
ingredients just for you. The Purifying Facial
for sensitive skin, for example, features a
seaweed exfoliation mask that's applied and
gently brushed off by hand - a European
alternative to the standard method of rinsing
off the mask with water. A relaxing cloud of
steam follows to help open up pores, with
a high frequency wand to soothe the skin
and stimulate blood flow to the muscles of
the face. The most memorable part of the
experience lies in the aromatic ingredients
- rose, geranium, lavender and sage are but a
few - and the ever-changing sensation of each
application on your face. Next, a customized
mask is painted on; in the purifying treatment,
this contains such natural ingredients as sea
cabbage and sea water concentrated in trace
elements, mixed with essential oils such as
lavender, cypress, ylang ylang and palmarosa.
To finish the purifying facial, a pure trace
cream containing seaweed and macadamia nut
oil is rubbed into the skin.
Inside tip: From May 8th to 13th, Anne Sémonin
will be at the spa along with European facialist
Erwa Berkman. It's part of a new "Four Faces
of the Four Seasons" program that introduces
seasonally customized skin treatments.
"Summer Solstice" is the first of the specialized
facials. ñShweta Govindarajan

OLAVIE LE VIN CHARDONNAY BODY THERAPY
I SPA AT THE WILLARD INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL
From the moment you enter the Willard
InterContinental's flower-filled lobby, you sense
you will be in good hands. Located in one of
Washington's most historic hotels, the Willard I
Spa beckons with its newest series of treatments
featuring chardonnay grape seed extract (imported
from the Burgundy region of France) combined
with essential oils.
Highly recommended is The Olavie Le Vin
Chardonnay treatment line-in particular, the
Chardonnay Body Therapy. Trust me: You've
never had white wine quite like this. The treatment
begins with a white grape seed sugar exfoliating
scrub followed by a soothing coat of wine body
butter. Next, you're cocooned in a warm towel
soaked in Willard Chardonnay and wine is poured
over the length of your body, after which you're
covered in a blanket to help your skin retain the
softening antioxidants of the wine therapy. Perhaps
the most exhilarating element of the treatment is
washing away dead skin cells in the I Spa's 12-jet
shower, a truly oceanic experience.
The I Spa features an extensive menu of
services, so if wine therapy already feels old
hat, try a soothing rose milk bath to calm and revive lifeless skin instead, or the Hot Stone Bio-
Morphosis Signature Facial that combines the
effects of heated stones with a seaweed matrix
mask that nourishes and hydrates dry skin.
Inside tip: Before running off on your next errand,
savor the sensation with a little more relaxation
by enjoying a refreshing plate of fruit sushi and a
pot of Numi flowering tea, served in the women's
lounge. ñShweta Govindarajan
Treatment: Olavie Le Vin Chardonnay Body Therapy,
90 minutes, $225

ABHYANGAM MASSAGE
PARMA SPA
Parma Spa takes an eastern approach to health
and wellness by basing its treatments on the
principles of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science
that uses the five elements - earth, air, fire, water
and space - to restore a natural balance in the
body by eliminating impurities. Parma's holistic
approach offers clients a total body experience
that not only awakens the five senses but also
works with your unique body chemistry to create
an individualized experience.
I decided to try to the Abhyangam massage,
a full body treatment illustrative of the spa's
Ayurvedic mission. During the Abhyangam
therapy, a heated mixture of oils, including some
imported from India, is rhythmically kneaded
into the skin to remove toxins and promote
relaxation. From there, the course of the massage
depends on your personal condition. To soothe
tight, knotted muscles, for example, warm sand
packs infused with detoxifying herbs are rubbed
up and down the length of your back, arms and
legs, gently easing soreness. Perhaps the highlight
of the treatment comes right at the beginning: A
therapeutic foot soak in an authentic copper basin
sure to revive your aching arches.
Inside tip: For one-stop-shopping, let Parma's
team of medical doctors and specialists meet your
wellness needs with both alternative and traditional
medicine. Parma offers a host of dermatological
procedures as well as referrals for a range of
medical services, including gynecology, cardiology
and oncology. ñShweta Govindarajan
Treatment: Abhyangam massage, 60 minutes, $105.
Get there: Parma Spa, 8212-B Old Courthouse Road,
Vienna, Va, 22182.

GET PERSONAL
SOMA FIT
There was a time when sprawling gyms were
in. The busy hubbub of people coming and
going after their workouts created an infectious
buzz that made tramping along in a line of 30
treadmills somehow enjoyable - I still don't get
what people see in those places (other than lots
of other sweaty people, of course). At Soma Fit,
you'll find a haven of everything not "chaingym":
personable staff, personalized attention and
most importantly, personal space.
The hybrid fitness center and day spa is housed
in a minimalist orange and warm-wood-designed
8,500-square-foot space just above Georgetown.
Need a personal trainer? Check. Yoga and Pilates
classes? Check. Nutrition counseling followed by a
muscle-relaxing massage and facial? Check, check,
check. On this day, I'm booked for a 50-minute
SomaFit Body Massage with Larry ($95), and
a SomaFit Signature Facial with Hiromi ($95).
"Jazz, New Age or Classical?" Larry asks as I slip
under a warm blanket. "Jazz," I say. On request,
he spends extra time on my tight shoulders.
Afterwards, I sleep walk over to my facial with
Reiki-trained esthetician Hiromi, who has a way
of combining signature facials with mommyisms:
"Did you wear Sunscreen today," she asks
(knowing I didn't). "No," I respond guiltily. She
chides me: "Tsk, tsk, you should always wear
sunscreen. You want to look young, don't you?"
The Signature Facial itself consists of a thorough
cleansing with steam, exfoliation, and a custom
mask followed by a face massage. It's one of ten
different facials SomaFit offers. There is definitely
something to be said for having your gym, spa
(and Mom) all under the same roof.
Inside Tip: Get there early for your spa
treatment so you can enjoy a personalized
training session (50-minute session from $68 to $80).

MASSENA Construction on the Parker Avenue bridge wont begin for at least two more years, according to state Department of Transportation officials.
Corroded beams on the 53-year-old bridge over the Grasse River forced the closure of two of its four lanes in 2009. The bridge was closed entirely for part of the summer of 2010 after a hole appeared in the deck of the structure.
DOT presented five options for replacing the bridge with a two-lane span to the village board more than a year ago. The total cost of the bridge construction and traffic reconfiguration is $14.1 million to $14.5 million for all five scenarios, DOT officials said previously.
About 80 percent of the project cost would come from federal funds, while the state would pick up the remaining 20 percent. At the time, DOT officials said the bridge project would be highly contingent on Congress passing additional transportation legislation in 2011. In May 2011, DOT officials said they planned to approve design plans last fall, contract plan completion in winter 2012, contract letting in spring 2013, bridge reopening to traffic in fall 2014 and completion in winter 2014.
Now, it will be 2014 or later before construction begins because of a lack of funding, DOT spokesman Michael R. Flick said Monday.
Design work has been limited, Mr. Flick said in an email.
The bridge replacement project will need a fully funded federal transportation bill to move forward, said Scott A. Docteur, director of planning and management for DOT Region 7. The last transportation bill expired several years ago, and Congress has approved nine extensions since then. DOT has received approximately 30 percent less funding from the extensions than the last full-fledged bill, he said.
Were working on it and we want to replace it, but funding is an issue, Mr. Docteur said.
Mayor James F. Hidy said the village had been left in the dark about the delay. He said he was first hearing of it Monday.
Im hearing this through the press. They made no effort at all to let us know whats going on. That itself is disturbing, Mr. Hidy said. Its imperative we get this structure to the front of the line and address this as soon as possible.
Mr. Hidy called the bridge unsightly. If its crumbling on the outside, chances are its not doing too good on the inside, either, he said.
DOT staff has monitored the bridge over the last year, according to engineer and project manager Michael K. McCullouch. Its in a holding pattern, he said. Were watching it, but its still safe.

The most saddening tragedy. My prayers and love to Autumn's family and friends. As a mom, I can not imagine how they are coping. Autumn looked liked any little girl in any town. A girl with a smile and a spirit of innocence. A sweet beautiful girl who lost her life for a bicycle. SENSELESS.
My heart bleeds tears for the mom of those boys who had the grace and presence of faith to stand tall in what must have been the darkest horror. May we all keep her in our prayers too.
And those boys, well there is nothing that can be said other than may they never close or open their eyes without suffering the pain they inflicted on Autumn, her family and their mom.
Donna
9:51 pm on Tuesday, October 23, 2012

This is such a sensitive situation. Our first thought is to kill those teens. I get it... It's mine too. But there is another family also losing 2 children with that thought process. This is beyond tragic. No happy ending. Autumns parents will live in Hell for the rest of their lives. The teens mother has also been sentenced to a life term. Really no way of appeasing everyone . Thoughts and many prayers
Stan

Not sure of your thought process (which really bothers me) but as a parent of a 10 year old daughter I have no sympathy for those boys. Autumn is NEVER coming back - her life was snuffed out by 2 thugs! This was a SENSELESS crime over a bike. Those boys made their decision and knew exactly what they were doing when they lured her into their home. Their mother has to deal with that. I hope they are tried as adults because they don't deserve to walk the streets again. I couldn't (nor wouldn't) want to imagine what Autumn's parents are going through right now.
hani
7:53 am on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
These two boys(animals) need to be tried as adult. Unfortunetly these kids will never know what damage they have done to two families and to a community. Maybe 30 years in prison will help. My heart breaks for the family of Autumn. What a beautiful, sweet, little angel. May she rest in peace.

Tara, you have got to be kidding.... something is wrong in that house if 2 brothers can kill a little girl no matter what she is doing. Like a disease or pest in your home you will do whatever it takes to destroy it, kill these bastards, they are a disease in our society. A 52 year old father is dead today for no reason because they let out a lunatic from prison that was supposedly rehabilitated, this happens thousands and thousands of times,These people can't be fixed, they are wired wrong. We all are living in hell because of these left minded moron's that find every way possible to make our society and the human race less safe, but if grandma needs surgery...nahh you lived long enough. Destroy those in the middle east that would kill us and their own people instead of playing police officer, execute those that would kill another human without good cause, imprison those that can't follow our laws as a free society, help those that have contributed to our society in a positive way, and send all the lefties to europe to fight over whatever scrap of money there is left over there and make sure it airs prime time so we can watch. Everyone is sick and tired of having to lock up their children out of fear, wake up every morning in fear they might lose their job, go to bed every night in fear the government will take away everything they worked for. Enough fear people, it's time to get back control of our country and a civil society.

Opposite race? What the hell is that? Can't bring youself to say "black"? Whether you say it or not your hatred is still apparent Fred.
Michael
1:39 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Pete I am not sure what Fred may have meant, but we also have to consider he may not feel comfortable saying black or African American, or dark complexion, I have many black friends who tell me that "black" upsets some people, "African American" upset some who don't associate their past to Africa, and others who feel that people don't run around saying "dark complexion"or "light complexion" "so why not just call me black". In a country whos own government has pitted it's citizens against eachother, we no longer feel comfortable talking to someone or about someone who may be different in other ways, wether it be race, religion, political point of view, or financial status. I will give Fred the benefit of the doubt and hope he just felt uncomfortable saying something he thought might offend..
Michael
1:50 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Funny how Oswold lived in Russia, killed Kennedy in retaliation for the ongoings in Cuba, the president of Russia claims they will tear us apart from within, and since then the Democratic party has never been the same, but we are off topic, just read your history and you will see how we are all methodically being silenced.

This is one of the problems with kids these days. They have this sense of self-entitlement. If they want something that take it - no matter what. Gimme gimme. There are so few kids that will actually work for what they want. These two brothers should be tried as adults. I hope they rot in jail!

Savages. Bring back public hangings.
Donna Colucci
11:37 am on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
I certainly don't know if I believe in public hangings, however, I do think that years gone by they handled their punishments very much different and perhaps much more effective. While visiting Williamsburg we were told that first offense petty criminals were put to public humiliation, (love that) second offense they had their earlobes nailed to the post, and the third was death. Sounds like a plan to me.
Honestly I would hope they learned after the public humiliation...but I do vote for that to be brought back again. Unfortunately kids, and criminals today, I believe have no fear. They fear no God or fear of consequences. Tie them up to a pole with a sign that speaks their crime...and let the public take care of him.
precious pisces
8:43 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Really!!!! your talking about two kids, that probably made a huge mistake that they can't take back. My heart goes out to all the families in this situation. If it were your children i'm sure you wouldn't refer to them as animals, savages or scum. Grow up and be adults. It's a L for all involved.
Prentiss Gray
9:15 am on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Sounds like a lynch mob. How would killing two teenagers make this horrendous situation any better? I, for one, would like to know a lot more about how this came to happen. This poor girl, her family and the two boys and their family deserve a much more through investigation of the circumstances. There is no quick or simple solution here.
Me
9:32 am on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
The difference between sentencing them to death and letting them live is rehabilitation. Do you honestly think they could ever contribute to society after this? So if they get 50 years in prison, the question is, should tax payers have to pay for their food, lodging, security, etc.? Honestly, I would rather see these kids, and probably the parents of these kids, rot.

The two boys have been identified by neighbors etc - their names are all over the internet. They are Dante and Jutsin Robinson. They are two black boys. While I do not believe, based on the news reports, this had anyting to do with race, I would just like to point out that if the tables were turned and the victim was black, there would be marching in the streets.The fact is this is a horrible situation and there is more than one vicitm here. Autumn, her family and friends and the family and friends of the alleged murderers. While I believe that everyone is responsible for their actions I have to ask, what went so very wrong in the lives of these boys that would make them capable of such a horrible crime?
Me

Where's Rev. Al Sharpton??? He should be in that town, having rallies, etc!
HobokenTownie
10:18 am on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Lorraine - you are absolutely right. If the victim was black and the two boys were white Rev. All, Rev. Jessee and even Obama would be marching in the streets. They all spoke up with Trevon Martin. However, since white people do not contribute to their B.S. church groups they could care less..... I wounder if Obama will comment on this, probably not...

"I would just like to point out that if the tables were turned and the victim was black, there would be marching in the streets."
But since they're not turned Lorraine we instead get your racially tinged comments to help the situation? If, as you say, it had nothing to do with race, then why bring race into it?

I am sure that the alleged murderers are both honor students, star athletes, go to church every week and are community minded. Do you think that this could have been a gang inititation? Keep up the realistic writings!
HobokenTownie
12:42 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
BellairBerdan - how do you know race had nothing to do with it? I would love to know your sources. Rev. Al and Rev. Jesse run to the streets whenever they see a fundraising chance....need you be reminded of Tawana Brawley.
Tee Smyth
1:04 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Here is the thing: Rev Al and Jackson go where they are asked. So, if mom wants them there, call them.
And what does the Pannell shooting have to do with this? I was friends with Phil. Struggling to see the relevance.
BellairBerdan
1:52 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Hoboken Townie, I do not know it did as you do not know it didn't, However I was replying to Lorraines comment "They are two black boys. While I do not believe, based on the news reports, this had anyting to do with race, I would just like to point out that if the tables were turned and the victim was black, there would be marching in the streets". Is that clear for you now, Hoboken Townie? And are you really bringing up something from 25 years ago as relevant to today?
HobokenTownie
2:27 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Tee Smyth - Wrong - Rev. Al and Rev. Jesse go where there can get donations for their storefront churches. If there are no donations to Rev. Al - no appearance.
BellairBerdan - yes - Rev. Al caused and incited racial tension in the city.
If the boys were white every storefront pastor and church bus would be heading to sought jersey to protest..... I bet these two punks already had records.

3 lives gone all for a bicycle, poor girl murdered brutally, you have to ask what we as a society value in life, clearly possessions and money rule this land.
And even more sickening are those who believe in death for a death, executions etc., you are no better then the Taliban, you are the same kind of scum and animal as those who kill initially, murder for murder is still murder.
The two boys need to pay for the crime committed, but killing them brings justice? Go to Afghanistan you belong there.

Thank God the killers mother did the right thing otherwise the parents in this town would still be terrified. I can't believe how the town is able to celebrate Autumns life and not want to lynch the killers. If anybody ever touched my daughter they'd better pray the police would get to them first. I've always felt the only one to go to jail for is your child. For a ****ing bike. Hang them, this way they know what it felt like.

Nice job Mike! Right on the money. To all who think someone who murders can be rehabilitated? You must be insane yourself. They can't even understand the simplicity of right and wrong. If they didn't get it before they murdered, they never will! Put them in jail on the taxpayers dime, wasting oxygen, working out, watching television all day. That's rehabilitation in prison. It's another justice system failure. Just look at the repeat offender statistics. Like Mike said, too many convicted murderers still living and not executed. To (0) and moist cake, this isn't a political, race, or the most ridiculous comparison Taliban issue! These are children who killed for a bicycle. They need to be punished as adults is the most harsh of ways. Problem with New Jersey is the death penalty doesn't exist. These two need to ride the lightening. No such thing as rehab for a murderer! Comparing someone who believes in the death penalty to the Taliban is ludicrous!

i never said how i believe these boys should be punished or that i was against the death penalty. m. justice- read what i have wrote, my first statement was just saying michael shouldnt turn this into a political issue. i just think its disgusting when people (dem or reps) take tragic events like this and try use it to promote their political views like michael did. you need to work on your reading comprehension

(0) if I need to work on my reading comprehension then you do as well. I did not say you were against the death penalty or punishment for these two juveniles. You answered extremely childish with calling Michael a Troll. That's his opinion like you have yours. Fueling the political rhetoric doesn't help the situation. I agree with you about using politics in this situation, it has no business. Lastly, insulting my intelligence by pointing out my inability to understand what I'm reading is absurd! Before you point out individual discrepancies, look at your own. Not one capital letter in any sentence and terrible punctuation. Unless your perfect, don't chastise others!

I am relieved for Autumn's family that the houdlums' mother had the sense to turn them in; But let us not forget she raised them. Maybe she couldn't stand them anymore either. I hope both she and Autumn's family get some peace; although I don't see how. Lack of parent responsibility has gotten out of hand. No one wants to put work into raising their children.

And to (o) Thank you- This is not the time or place to air The Race Card people.
There is a child who was murdered. This is the tradgedy. Her parents are suffering .
All of you closet bigots let it go. Justice for this child will be served and it should be. Stop spewing your hatred. You are not only showing your ignorance but you are perpetuating more hatred. Stop sowing the bad seeds of blame against a whole race. The way some of you speak you sound .................................

(0) the left always try to forget their record "and dont forget its the right that fights for automatic weapons to be legal which are responsible for mass killings." sounds like a political debate to me... I guess you could have just said, this is not the place for politics, but I would have answered the same way... yes it is, this is the perfect place... to stand up for this poor little girl and remember that our failings in our politics and our laws may have contributed to her losing her life, this is the perfect place for us to speak for those whom can no longer, thanks to a percentage of people who's out of wack moral compass leads to more and more children like Autumn being hurt, abused and murdered, this is the perfect place for Autumn to let us know this will no longer be tolerated and that her voice may be silenced but she will be heard. This is the perfect place for you, me and all the rest of us to realize we failed this little girl and many like her and it will not be tolerated, we are not going to allow the young and the innocent to be wiped out, while we protect and coddle the scum and the entitled. They felt they had a right to her bike, they felt they had the right to take her life, It's my right to help make laws that will take their life when they feel so entitled to take anothers. And damn it, if it has to start right here... right at this spot... thats what I'm going to do, and those whom know I'm right know exactly what we have to do.

my comment about he right being pro automatic guns was just to show that fingers can be pointed at both sides after tragedies- and i dont think any side should do it. and no this is not the place for politics. it is not the "left" or "right" fault, the only 2 responsible are the sick individuals who commited the crime. you really think a death penalty is going to stop these tragedies from happening. people who do these disgusting things are sick in the head (even more severely than you) they can not rationalize penalties for their behavior. even if theres a death penalty thet will still do as they please.
please stop calling me a left, i am not on the "left" or "right" and the people who are too far on one side is the problem in this country.
out of respect for this young girl and her family and will not continue this discussion.

Comments are just that-comments- sometimes it's dialog which is also intresting but all too often egos or I'm right and you or others are wrong seem to get in the way of sharing ideas. That's one reason I don't comment on these sites much. There just isn't exchange of opinions or ideas and sometimes but not too often it turns into put downs and you are wrong. Well, suprise , surpise this is the real world where people are different and suprisingly that's what makes the world a great place.

Russian Prof. Panarin predicted the collapse of America's financial might, 15 years ago and everyone laughed, funny how no one is lauging now and interview him on a regular basis wanting to know where he got his data from, of course he can't tell anyone because he even admits the data came from the Kremlin, but maybe take a little time off from drinking beer, watching msnbc and praying to Obama, and read up a little on what is going on around you.

May Autumn rest in peace and my deepest sympathy to her parents, her family, and friends.
I applaud the courageous act of the mother of those murderers who turned them in to authorities. She must be going through a terrible heartache as well! Her boys have not obviously followed her example in life. So, please let's stop with "the woe is me" environmental lifestyle justification excuse for these 2 boys, or, the " we need to examine what happened to the 2 boys to have made them commit such a horrific crime." Too much psychoanalysis in society today and not enough ownership/responsibility for a person's/child's actions. These two boys are responsible for their own actions and must pay. It's as simple as that.
I would bet that the 15 year old will say the 17 year old did it and vice-versa and that their attorneys would create reasonable doubt to warrant them serving hardly any time at all. We need to hear & know the truth, but unfortunately, it does not always work in today's society. I truly hope that in this case, justice will be served to Autumn and to the respective families.

I don't believe in the death penalty nor do I believe in rehabbing people like this.
I think that the US government should take these 2 criminals..and most criminals and send them to a third world country. The USA can give them $50,000. And the leaders of this third world country will put them to work! Yes WORK! Let them build water ways and roads and HELP people and do good for once in their lives.

There were a few that tried to inject that some of us were racist but clearly it was just to distract from what these 2 did, the next play in the handbook is to claim they were framed, to somehow try to extend the race claim although there was none, and next will be the bungling of the police to not have blah, blah, blah, 4th will be that the girl did something to provoke the attack, 5th will be juvenile court, 6th will be rehabilitation, 7th will be early release, 8th step will be their names hitting the Star Ledger 8/11/2015 because the system failed to help them so they blah blah blah, same story line over and over again, just like the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on the middle class.

My initial take when hearing the story was the obvious...brutal, horrific, why...beasts killing a fawn. I also thought and stated that I gave the boys mother credit for turning her boys in. After a couple of days of reading further updates, I still give their mother credit for her actions. But I would be curious, upon investigation, hearing what kind of home they came from...kids don't simply turn into cold blooded, calculating killers overnight. I (and I'm sure Autumn's parents could really care either) whether they were black, white or plaid. I'm unsure of how that is relevant. An innocent little girl is gone at the hands of very young monsters.

wow.
I think we have another problem here in addition to the unfathomable crime that was committed on this poor innocent angel.
I think the perps should do life in solitary, lose their minds in about 5 years and just wallow in their cells looking at the wonderful world of a blank wall. Losing their life is too easy.
The other problem I see, is wonderful Americans who are sick and tired of having to be politically correct, sick and tired of being accused of racism where a minority is involved and sick and tired of having to be careful of what they say because they might offend someone.
This is still America (last time I looked). and a bum is still a bum. That homeless crap went out in my lingo years ago. A bad criminal is a bad criminal - race has nothing to do with it.
Let us pray for the FAMILIES of the perps and the victims....and relish in the fact, that they were caught and justice will be done.

Wow really? A precious child's life has been taken too soon and you idiots harp on race? One has to wonder, if children with authority figures like you to look to for guidance even have a fair chance of becoming productive and sane members of society. With that said, no wonder an unfortunate few grow up to become monsters if all they know is hate.
Rather it be Autumn Pasquale or Treyvon Martin, both are children who died violently and that should be the discussion!!! The main concern should be how can we protect our children, not mommy and daddy's generalizations of a whole group of people. My prayers go out to Autumn and her family.

To Tee Smith: Here is what the Spath / Pannell case has to do with Autumn and her alleged killers. If two white youths had killed a young black girl; certain (community and political) leaders would be all over the media and in Clayton letting everyone know that justice is needed and that the girl was targeted (because of her color). Go back to that night in Teaneck: I was driving past the church when the Memorial service was letting out and you could see anger in the eyes of those leaving (the church). Shortly thereafter the riot started; funny thing is that we do not see riots or politicians grandstanding when the stituation is reversed (like here). PS: we know that Philip Pannell had a criminal record, was a member of a (drug) gang, was carrying a weapon and attempted to shoot at the police (prior to him being shot).
Tee Smyth
3:18 pm on Thursday, October 25, 2012
Baba. You are so incorrect on multiple levels; PARTICULARLY with the facts, that it tells me that this is not even worthy of further engagement. I was there that night and many other nights and days and months that followed. I remember everything like it happened yesterday, and could go back to journals written during that time to refresh my recollection if need-be. I will simply advise that you're incorrect. As for Sharpton and Jackson: I've said above that they come when called. Has the mom requested their presence?
Good day.
Baba O'Riley
4:35 pm on Thursday, October 25, 2012
Tee, please let me know how I am wrong. I know I am not wrong about the background of Philip Pannell and his actions that evening. Some further questions: Why did the storeowners on Teaneck Road had to have their store windows smashed? Did they do anything wrong? Same applies to the cars that were vandalized. As I said before, I was in Teaneck that night and following nights as a member of the New Jersey Army National Guard. As has been stated, what would be the case if two white youths had killed an innocent girl of the opposite race? You tell me. Both cases are tragedies for all of the families involved as well as their respective communities.
Tee Smyth
4:49 pm on Thursday, October 25, 2012
Here you go. No one said anything about store owners, etc. What a flying leap! Again.
Your mind is made up already, and it's not my job to change it for you b/c I don't care enough about you (sorry if that's harsh) to do so. You've also posted some inconsistencies in your "story." I'm done here. Have a good day.

UK, Brazil & Holland Suggest Residents Urinate In Shower To Save The Planet
We hear it every day. Save the planet, reuse and recycle, go green. All of those are designed to conserve our planet’s resources. What would you be willing to do to save our Earth?
A city council official in Holland is strongly suggesting to residents that they urinate at the same time that they take their daily showers. Bert Wassink says urinating while showering “saves lots of clean water and is good for the environment.” He goes on to say “If you combine showers and peeing, you save a lot of water and money, so why not?” Residents in the United Kingdom and Brazil have also been encouraged to adopt this practice. If this idea takes off, could towns in this country be next?
How far would you go to save the planet? Leave a comment or take the poll below.

Honors and Awards: Richard Reimold Scholarship, Best actor '09 - '10 (faculty vote), Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Irene Ryan Regional Champion, Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theater half tuition scholarship
Matthew Bagley started his college career at Manchester Community College, where he took two courses during one semester. When asked what made him transfer to WCSU, the seasoned performer doesn't miss a beat: "In 2006, Western's theatre department was putting up 'The Full Monty' and I couldn't miss out on a chance at being naked in front of 500 people."
Bagley says he's loved theater "since I was a little kid," so pursuing it as his major "just made sense." In fact, he says, "I loved it so much I stuck around for five years before graduating."
Besides his memorable performance in 'The Full Monty," Bagley has tackled everything from Chekhov to Shakespeare; drama to musicals. He credits Professor of Theatre Arts Sal Trapani and the entire faculty of the WCSU theatre department with helping him develop his craft to the extent that he was named a Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Irene Ryan Acting Competition Regional Champion.
Asked what he will remember most about his WCSU experience, Bagley says, "It has to be being the first WCSU student in history to go to Washington, D.C., to compete for the Irene Ryan National Theater Scholarship.”
After graduation, Bagley says, "I hope to get signed at the WCSU New York showcase, and then move on to a lucrative career in either Broadway, film or television."
Bagley’s advice to new students entering WCSU is: “I don't know ... try to get done in four years."

A note, I think, should be made here: Summorum Pontificum did not pertain to ordinations; all other sacraments, however, are mentioned. Nevertheless, I suppose a society like the FSSP would have permission to ordain a permanent deacon in the extraordinary form.
Any bishop can chose to use the older Pontifical.
Ooh Father, your gonna make the SSPX real unhappy [So?] …
They even say the Eastern Catholics and Orthodox have this wrong. All clerics, even deacons, have to be celibate… who knew… ;-)
BTW I found a link to that article on their Latin Mass explained packet page. I was looking for Altar server training stuff and I came across this in the little note attached to the check box for deacon that said they wont send the material to permenant deacons and they gave a link to this article.
It really astonishes me that they have such a problem with married clerics…
While I can see no problem with priestly ordinations being carried out in the Extraordinary Form outside the FSSP/ICRSP etc. (because the ordinand will in any case be a deacon), might there not be a problem with a diaconal ordination, given that the older books presume the ordinand to be a subdeacon?
Father Z,
Is there a translation of the EF Rite of Ordination to the diaconate on-line?
I wondered about the position of the SSPX on ordaining married men to the diaconate. Can I say that I am not surprised?
Fr. Deacon Daniel
You do realize that when your wife dies you may NOT re-marry. I believe the reason that, with very few exceptions, all high orders may not be married is you are esentially marrying the church. You can not have two brides. It would be unfair to your wife/children to spend more time with Church duties. On the other side of the coin it would be unfair to the Church for you to choose issues of your family over the needs of the Church.
These are the reasons that I was taught why all high orders must only be for unmarried/widowed men. Even then, if there are children, it can be very difficult for a widowed man to have to choose between the Church and a problem with a child.
The few exceptions have traditionally been married Anglican’s and other’s who have vaild orders and wish to enter the Roman Catholic Church and are currently married.
I urge everyone interested in the married cleric discussion to read canonist Dr. Edward Peter’s blogpost:.
I quote his post below. Go to his site for links and further discussion.
“Brian Van Hove, SJ, and Dcn. Rex Pilger are debating in the Homiletic and Pastoral Review whether the obligation of clerical continence (1983 CIC 277) applies to married permanent deacons. Van Hove argues affirmatively, Pilger negatively. My 2005 article on this question has been cited approvingly by Van Hove, but I have not intervened in the HPR discussion because, until recently, my work had not been challenged by either side. Recently, however, Pilger attempted to refute several points that I made or accept concerning.”
To the commenter above, do you honestly think that the ordained deacon that you presume to lecture doesn’t already know this? Both the comment and its TONE (note the font) are just a little unnecessary. The disrespect here sometimes is unbelievable.
Arent Deacons assumed with the role of subdeacon though? I mean I have never seen a permanent deacon be addressed as during his formation subdeacon, but what I do know is there is a maronite church in St Louis, that has Married Sub Deacons, So I would assume it is there. Granted that is a different rite, but still part of the cahtolic church.
Now, I do have a question. If a deacon is a deacon is a deacon, can the deacon perform his office in the Extraordinary form? I only ask because when the extraordinary form was ordinary, The permanent diaconate was somewhat in reclusion, and I have not seen/ known a permanent married deacon that participated in the extraordinary form. Maybe its just the seed isnt there yet, but I am curious. I am 29, and in a few years God willing I can enter formation myself. I am married. I would love to know if I could expect to participate at the altar in both forms though.
I wonder who the pioneer will be in this regard?!
:) Well, Chances are someone might beat me to it, I have 6 years before i can enter formation, and its atleast a 4 year process right now. (so ordination possibly at 39?)
I would think the problem with a permanent deacon doing it, would be he is assigned to a parish, so it would all be dependent on father, if in fact the faculties allow it
Matthew,
Yes, I am quite aware, thank you very much, of my own obligations towards celibacy should my wife pass away.
Dispensations to be remarried have been granted in the Latin Church for widower deacons with young children. This has also happened in certain Eastern Catholic Churches, although never with our married priests. There was a case with the Antiochian Orthodox where a widower priest was granted a “dispensation” (they do not use such terminology) to remarry after his wife died. His name is Father John Allen and he wrote about his experience in the book, “Widower Priest”.
The imagery of espousal, while very beautiful, does not present the total picture of the apostolic life. St. Paul’s exhortation to St. Timothy assumes that some of those called to sacerdotal or diaconal ministry have an intimate familiarity with the married state and family life as fathers and husbands and that how they have raised their children is a witness in discerning their worthiness for ordained ministry in the household of faith. The Scriptures and Tradition praise both the married and the celibate states, and the recent magisterium (both conciliar and pontifical) have upheld the legitimate and praiseworthy ministry of married priests and deacons in the East.
Quite frankly, I tire of uber-Latinists who seem to treat this question as if it was somehow material to the faith. Celibacy for the Kingdom of God is a discipline and a beautiful and praiseworthy calling “for those who can bear it.” The married state is as well, and both states have an eschatalogical dimension to them and priesthood and diaconate can be exercised well in both. The Church does not have a two-tiered system of clergy – the “high and mighty” celibates and the barely tolerable “married’s.” Both are fruitful in their own way and both states have been approved by the Church.
In ICXC,
Fr. Deacon Daniel
From the Latin Canon 277:
“The diocesan bishop is competent to establish more specific norms concerning this matter and to pass judgment in particular cases concerning the observance of this obligation.”
A question for Canon Lawyers: Can the bishop thus dispense a cleric who entered the clerical state as a married man from perpetual continence?
This is an interesting debate on this canon. I have always had the understanding that the obligation is to be observed 24 hours before rendering liturgical service, as well as during certain periods of fasting.
There is also a tradition of continence for the laity prior to receiving Holy Communion and during periods of fasting. I wonder if such a thing is being advocated anywhere!
Fr. Deacon Daniel
If any bishop can use the older Pontifical, then why is ordination not included in Summorum Pontificum when Confirmation is?
Now, I do have a question. If a deacon is a deacon is a deacon, can the deacon perform his office in the Extraordinary form?
It has been done – is being done, if that answers your question. The St. Frances de Sales Parish in the archdiocese of Atlanta, served by the FSSP, has an assigned permanent deacon.
xathar: Because it didn’t have to be.
I think what we should hope/work/pray for is that knowledge of the EF becomes part of the normal liturgical formation of candidates for the permanent diaconate. The more who know, the more who will be able to help their bishop & pastors respond to the requests of the faithful. And I think many will be attracted to it with exposure. Members of EF communities who could assist with training should prayerfully consider contacting their diocesan Director of Deacon Formation.
Thanks for the answer to my question. I hope by the time I enter formation and God willing recieve my orders to the permanent diaconate, the question will no longer have to be asked. Now wouldnt that be something, keeping up with the brick by brick thought. At that point we would have a mansion!
The following comes from the SSPX’s article in opposition to married deacons.
.”
Canon 3 of the Council of Nicea is (from newadvent.org):
The great Synod has stringently forbidden any bishop, presbyter, deacon, or any one of the clergy whatever, to have a subintroducta dwelling with him, except only a mother, or sister, or aunt, or such persons only as are beyond all suspicion.
Ok, from what I can tell, a “subintroducta” is a celibate woman, or perhaps an unrelated woman, not a wife. So the council excluded clergy from living with celibate/unrelated women who were not their mothers, etc. It doesn’t say anything about an absolute prohibition against clergy being married as the SSPX seems to indicate.
Is my understanding of the term subintroducta correct? Is the SSPX’s initial bit of evidence completely off the mark, or am I misunderstanding the meaning of the words?
Wow. Has the SSPX, then, become a kind of reverse barometer? Anything “they” are for, “we” are against?
No, the SSPX is not some sort of reverse barometer? Some things they get right, but it would be insane to trust the statements of a group of people whose fullness of communion with the the Church is questionable when those statements are obviously in opposition to what the Church allows.
They’ve claimed something. Is it true or not?
They also state in the same.”
They, the SSPX by posting this on their website, have declared that married deacons are excommunicated. This has nothing to do with reality. It is nonsense.
JM,?
Well,
All one has to do is read scripture, Paul tells us presbetyrs, bishops, deacons should have only been married once. No where does it say they have to be removed from the wife, the wife is dead, or anything else one could think of. So one can assume the wife very well can “come along” so to speak
Granted, that in any rite bishops are celibate, priests in the east can be ordained if they are married , but must be celibate if they are ordained and not married, but if one really wanted a strong ground to stand on, its directly in scripture. Though in that thought its important to recognize why we have a celibate priesthood in the Latin Tradition.
I think a permanent deacon, by its very nature of service (If I recall the word means that), would almost be better suited to be married. It gives him a unique perspective on the average faithful, who are married, and that (all due respect to the priests here), that a priest isnt always going to have. Many permanent deacons work with marriage prep and counseling, and so forth. I would think that its pretty obvious why that’s a good thing. Also , I mean no disrespect to the priests who visit here, just pointing it out as an obvious advantage for helping the faithful. I love whatever pastor has been placed in care over me, but I wont hide that I often have stronger personal relationships with the deacons who are installed at the church. Part of that is having someone to talk to, being a married man. I think the church in her wisdom, and care for the faithful sees this, and thus why we have married permanent deacons
Michael,
?”
This has nothing to do with the question I asked? Is the SSPX’s understanding the of the 3rd Canon of the Council of Nicea correct or not? From what I can tell, it isn’t. They are wrong. But my understanding might be correct or incorrect and I’m hoping that someone who reads this blog might more about the issue.
In response to your comment above: In the case of married deacons, the SSPX isn’t exhorting anyone to do more than the Church allows. What they are doing is claiming, by the posting of the article on their website, is that what the Church allows, married deacons, is causing these men who are licitly and validly ordained to the diaconate to be excommunicated. Obviously, they are opposing the Church in the matter and making claims that are false on top of it. There is nothing wrong with doing more than the Church recommends or even advising people to do so. Going to Mass more than once a week is generally going to be a good thing. Fasting more if you are capable can be a good thing. These are both things that SSPX priests would likely recommend, and I support both of those, but their opposition to married deacons is not the same thing.
How do we know that any bishop can use the old Pontifical? Has this been decreed anywhere?
“How do we know that any bishop can use the old Pontifical? Has this been decreed anywhere?”
yes, the through the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. As such, it is on the pope’s authority, and no other decree needs to be in place for a Bishop to perform it.
Its a mass, the faithful can request their sacraments be administered in the extraordinary form. Deacons, and for that much any person recieving the sacrament(so even a priest who say wanted last rites on his death bed), constitutes a “member of the faithful”.
Patrick,
What you’ve written is not correct. Summorum Pontificum speaks of allowing all sacraments in the older form except for ordination. Additionally, the ability to use the older books (MIssal, Breviary, Ritual) is not extended to the Pontifical in that document. I repeat: Where, if anywhere, has permission been granted to use the older form of the Pontifical for ordination, carte blanche? [Summorum Pontificum speaks primarily about the faculties which priests have, not about what bishops can do. The issue of the Pontifical was settled a long time ago.]
Perhaps one of our more scholarly folks could answer it then. I would have assumed it was all encompasing. Especially if there are groups like the FSSP who are using it.
To the commenters above:
Summorum Pontificum (“SP”) does not need to mention ordination, and in fact, it makes more sense that SP does not include it. The purpose of SP was to allow priests to perform the EF without permission of a bishop when requested by faithful. To include Holy Orders here was unnecessary as Holy Orders always requires a bishop and is not at the bequest of the faithful (unless the faithful are considered the priests/deacons being ordained). Thus, the bishop can choose which form he uses for the mass. If SP had included a mention of this sacrament it wouldn’t have been congruent with the purpose of the rest of the document.
JM –
I think you’ve got the gist of ‘subintroducta’, at least as I understand it.
I did some google searches, and the assorted references I got back seem to support that understanding.
N.B. – I didn’t post the links here myself, as some of the most informative were part of “relationship” glossary sites. Some of the content might well be described as base or even vulgar.
Thanks YoungCatholicStl . See someone from the midwest helped us out :P
YoungCatholicSTL:
Then how do you account for its mention of confirmation which is the bishop’s domain, so to speak?
Xathar:
Yes, here’s how I see it. (Warning: About to split hairs) While I agree that it is “the bishop’s domain,” the sacrament of confirmation is still at the people’s request. And if those people requesting would like the EF, then they are entitled to it under SP. Holy Orders isn’t at the request of the person to be ordained, it is at the request of the bishop. Although, xathar, I do find your point intriguing.
Fr. Z – Any thoughts?
SP does say that the the usus antiquor was never juridicially abrograted. This is the most important thing to consider when examining if ordinations are allowed with the traditional rubrics. Therefore, since it was never juridicially aborgrated, and a bishop is the custodian of liturgy in his diocese, the bishop may choose to use it for ordinations. SP was particularly meant to free priests to say the TLM should they choose without having to obtain permission from his bishop.
The SSPX seems to have a point here, the points they make are almost the same as the late Cardinal Stickler made in his study “The Case for Clerical Celibacy” He said that from apostolic times all clerics were required to keep perpetual abstinence, even though they might be married. The Eastern Church relaxed the discipline (but they still require sexual abstinence before liturgy). So permanent married deacons without anykind of sexual abstience imposed on them is a novelty.
SP does NOT say that the entire usus antiquor was never abrogated. Rather, it’s focus is primarily on the Missal. It also gives permission for the old Breviary and Ritual. And then, with respect to the Pontifical, it states, “Ordinaries are given the right to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation using the earlier Roman Pontifical, if the good of souls would seem to require it.” This is the only line that concerns the Pontifical. Again, no mention is made of ordination. This is a glaring omission and I’m sure it is not a mistake or oversight. Furthermore, note that the use of the old rite of Confirmation is made at the bishop’s discretion, not at the request of the faithful, as an earlier commenter had stated. In conclusion, I see no provision within SP or any other document for a bishop to use the entirety of the older Pontifical at his own discretion, particularly so with respect to ordinations.
Fr. Z,
As I noted above, SP does speak of the Pontifical, but only with regard to Confirmation. You state above that “the issue of the Pontifical was solved long ago.” I’m not familiar with this solution. What document/event are you referring to?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to find out the truth of all this, about the deaconate,married or otherwise, N.O. or Gregorian Rite E.R. “TLM” all the speculation and all the opinions. Confusion rein on.

From a reader:
I am a lay Catholic and over the month past month I have felt truly
home since going to the Mass of the Ages.
Please forgive my ignorance but the missal of blessed John XXIII has
omitted the prayers at the foot of the altar at certain occasions and
the 2nd confiteor before reception of the Eucharist of the faithful.
Are these changes though indiscernible harmful to the faith or
necessary and part of the organic growth of the Mass?
The 1962 Missale Romanum (the Missal of John XXIII) did not omit the prayers at the foot of the altar, except in the normal circumstances (e.g., Good Friday). And there is a curtailed form in the Requiem Mass.
However, the 1962MR does not have the 2nd Confiteor before Holy Communion. In many places, I would guess most places, it is done anyway regardless.
I don’t think it is harmful to the faithful to omit the 2nd Confiteor. It is not harmful to the faithful to be without the prayers at the foot of the altar.
At the same time, consider that these two elements of the older, traditional form of Mass were omitted in the Novus Ordo even though the Second Vatican Council’s document on liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium said that no changes should be made unless it should be for the true good of the faithful.
I cannot quite make out how the faithful benefit from the removal of those things. They might not necessarily be harmed, but… how do they benefit?
Surely you jest, Father.
I don’t think there was any intention to change only what the good of souls demanded. This becomes blatantly obvious when you begin to itemize the changes and ask, “how were these so harmful that it was necessary to remove them?”
- the dates (and celebration) of most feast days
- the elimination of ember days
- the greatest majority of the texts of the Mass
- the elimination of minor orders and their roles in the liturgy
- the prayers at the foot of the altar
And this list could go on for quite a long time. Remember folks, Bugnini was largely responsible for the document Sacrosanctum Concilium itself, and he knew what the bishops needed to read to get signatures — and he knew how far his ambiguous document could be stretched.
Re: the second Confiteor
A very good priest explained in a class on liturgy a couple of years ago (FSSP), that the second Confiteor was really for the congregation to confess one more time in humility, hoping for the forgiveness of our sins to prepare for Holy Communion. He stressed that we should be saying the Confiteor to ourselves with the altar servers, who are speaking in our name before the “Domine non sum dignus” for the congregation. There is nothing more beautiful, moreover, than the Deacon and Sub-Deacon at a Solemn High Mass, going to either side of the altar, bowing low as the Deacon chants the Confiteor. It is such a beautiful chant. I often find myself chanting it when I’m driving in the car – a little odd maybe – but we can’t confess enough, can we?
At our Latin Masses, no matter which one of the four priests come to say the EF, (not a parish, but assigned priests), all four say the second Confiteor. These priests went to St. John Cantius to learn the EF several years ago. Is this ok? As they all do it, I assumed that is what they were taught to do.
comes not come-sorry
It would be helpful to know WHY there was a second Confiteor in the first place.
Until Pius X encouraged more frequent Communion just over a century ago, Communion of the Faithful was less common. When it was done, it would often occur after Mass. This ritual would begin with the recitation of the Confiteor by the server, followed by the priest holding up the Host for the “Ecce Agnus Dei …” much as would be done in the pre-1962 form of the Traditional Mass. It was not considered part of the Mass proper. In fact, you will not find the Communion of the Faithful in the priest’s missal at the altar, even in the 1962 version. And in most comprehensive hand missals until the late 1950s (Dom Gaspar’s Saint Andrew Missal, etc), it is listed as a separate event in an appendix, in addition to its location in the Mass.
And so, once the Sacrament was more commonly received, the entire ritual was simply inserted after the Communion of the Priest as the norm. Thus the appearance of the “second Confiteor.”
The “second Confiteor” is not in the 1962 Missal, but its continued use is indulged by the Holy See. That it is not officially included, cannot be definitively attributed to any one person, other than perhaps the Holy Father himself, who ultimately approved the change. In all likelihood, it was removed simply because it no longer served its original purpose. On the other hand, a tradition often retains its value after its purpose has faded away. The case could be made either way, without the usual conspiracy theories.
At the parish where I am MC, we do not use it, but its use is brought to the attention of servers in training, and they are told what to do and when, in the event that their experience takes them elsewhere.
Me, I could go either way with it.
I’m curious about our other readers — how many recite the 2nd Confetior quietly to themselves when it is not recited publically??
I must confess that I also say it before receiving Comminion in the Ordinary Form.
At my parish’s EF Masses the servers do not say the 2nd confiteor. I do, however, say the confiteor to myself (followed by a few “SHJ, have mercy…”) as I am in line at the communion rail.
I find that it is a great way to bring clarity to the situation.
I have said it from the time I was Confirmed (1951) along with the alter boys, if the Pope wanted it there I see no right reason to eliminate it.
Being a humble theology student still grappling with the complexities of the pre-novus ordo form(s) of the Mass, I may be about to put my foot in my mouth.
I would probably guess the second confiteor was originally the equivalent (along with the other prayers around it of the Eastern Communion Prayer said in the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. This prayer is a confession of our sins, our unworthiness to receive, and a beseeching of God to heal us.
One could say that in the western rite, it has now been lessened to “O Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed.”
With these thoughts in mind, I wouldn’t say that the loss of the second confiteor is harmful in that it does not diminish the action of the sacrifice and we strive to retain it’s sense with “O Lord, I am not worthy…”. I would say, however, that its loss does not maximize the experience of mercy and gift that should accompany reception of the Eucharist. Acknowledging one’s sinfulness in a dramatic way (like the Eastern Communion Prayer) is a sure way to instill in a person the need for examination of conscience and the reminder that receiving unworthily could lead to judgment or condemnation makes one understand the gravity of the sacrament.
Hearing it in a Ruthenian Rite scared the crud out of my mother, born and raised Roman Catholic.
So I don’t think it’s loss is harmful. However, I think its addition, or a prayer akin to it (Eastern Communion Prayer), can do great good.
Fr., I believe the questioner had in mind the various omissions of the prayers at the Foot that were indeed novel ommissions. You say normal, but what is that?
It was not omitted on Palm Sunday, Candlemas, etc until the reform in the 1950′s
Anyhow the 2nd or 3rd Confiteor makes perfect sense to me in light of the historical fact that the confiteor at the beginning is not about the people. The priest confesses, then the other sacred ministers confess. These confessions, like the rest of the prayers at the foot, evolved as prayers said to fill in the time of the introit. Only in a roundabout way, via low Mass, is the idea instilled that it is somehow a confession of the congregation. The original purpose was a confession before entering “in sanctum sanctorum”
Now especially at a sung or Solemn Mass, the 2nd Confiteor is very significant. The people do not hear the earlier ones and, in fact, can be singing the Introit. But this confiteor is explicitly for them. That it was imported a long time go (before Pius X, before Trent in fact) into the Mass from communion given outside of Mass is also true of the Ecce Agnus Dei (which mimics the Agnus Dei) and the Domine non sum dignus following that (mimicking the priest)
The Dominican Rite prior to 1958 did not even have the Ecce Agnus Dei. Very simply the priest receives communion, and has his own Domine non sum dignus, and then proceeds to distribute.
So that it was imported in does not mean that its purpose does not make sense, any more than with the Ecce Agnus Dei
\\I am a lay Catholic and over the month past month I have felt truly
home since going to the Mass of the Ages.\\
And just what are the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and other Eastern Liturgies, to say nothing about the other authorized Western rites, such as the Mozarabic, Bragan, and even Novus Ordo?
Chopped liver?
There was a time that NONE of these liturgies, including the Tridentine Rite, existed, therefore NONE of them can justly be called “the Mass of the Ages”–unless ALL of them (including the Pauline Mass) are.
What Manwithblackhat said about the second (or possibly third) Confiteor is historically true.
As far as frequently repeating this prayer on the grounds that “one can never confess enough,” it can be a symptom of spiritual OCD, otherwise known as scrupulosity.
Sooner or later we have to get our eyes off ourselves and onto God’s forgiveness.
One does wonder how Bugnini got away with all he did, and over and over one asks why Paul VI signed off on the N.O.????
Since the N.O. is the primary Mass I attend accept for a E.F. Mass once a month, an act of Contrition is the prayer one tries to use prior to receiving Our Lord. but food for thought will now start on my own and quietly saying the confiteor to myself.
I can think of a reason why it should be omitted: accusations of disobedience.
For years the 1962 Missal was fought to be “freed” (as popular parlance spoke of the matter). Now that it is “freed” people are not even following its rubrics.
For the sake of consistency of argument, the 2nd confiteor ought not be said.
-KJS
gloriainexcelisdeo — You reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to ask. Does anyone who is familiar with the FSSP’s custom of having the deacon and subdeacon chant the last (2nd/3rd depending on how you count it) Confiteor before communion at High Mass know how that started? The only time it should be chanted (according to my books) is at a pontifical High Mass.
I think it’s noteworthy that Psalm 42 and not the “prayers at the foot of the altar” is what is really in question. This psalm was really a part of the celebrants preparation for Mass and was inserted into the public prayer of the church in the Missal of Trent. The historic liturgies of religious orders (Dominican & Carmelite) do not have this psalm. It was simply the In nomine… Confiteor…kyrie. The Introit is out of place in all of the rites as it ended up right smack in the middle of penitential stuff?! I think “they” tried to fix this. Many orthodox liturgists saw the fault in this. The confiteor before communion is simply out of place too. All the penetential stuff was done at the beginning then we abruptly go back to the confiteor?! All that being said, I wouldn’t say that these things were harmful for anyone.
@Fr. Basil,
)….
IMHO, it’s not an “either/or” matter – either focusing upon ourselves, or focusing upon God.
Instead, it is the Catholic “both/and” – looking at all things realistically – the reality of how sinful we truly are AND how much they truly do offend God infinitely, no matter how “small” they might be – as well as realizing that if we express heartfelt contrition for our sins & aim to make amendment in our lives, God will always extend to us His Mercy and forgiveness.
I agree with Fr. Z – taking out the 2nd Confiteor was NOT clearly beneficial for the laity.
Pax et benedictiones tibi, per Christum Dominum nostrum,

That’s always been my question with the way the new Mass is celebrated (not necessarily how it appears in the missal itself). There are so many things that are optional that “liturgists” choose not to do it simply because they don’t see the point. There is no consideration for any theological reasons other than it’s optional, so why do it at all? Instead, they just add in things or omit what is not optional, thus making it harmful.
I am surprised that others have experienced FSSP priests incorporating this confiteor–at the parish I attended for about two years, I never saw it done. As far as how we benefit from the removal of this confiteor: I don’t know what the benefit necessarily is one way or the other. But, now that it is removed, there is a benefit in simply, obediently doing what’s in the book.
Fr. Z: Doing something “for the true good of the faithful” is one reason changes could be made to the liturgy, but I don’t believe it is the only reason. Sacrosanctum Concilium cited other reasons, such as securing the full and active participation of the people (#14), or if something is shown to be an intrusion which does not harmonize with the inner nature of the liturgy (#21), impedes the faithful from understanding the rites with ease (#21), or is not part of an organic growth when the liturgy is seen historically (#23). In addition, in the revision of the rites, SC calls for a careful investigation into structure and meaning of each part of the liturgy, as well as what is learned from experience of the indults of the Holy See.
If we were to simply go by what is for the “true good of the faithful” almost anything could be inserted into the liturgy. As a rite that communicates grace from outward signs, and signs which must be clear and simple, the liturgy must not present signs which are not merely emotionally fulfilling. What does this part of the Mass do, or accomplish? Is the rite doing this, or have other goals and desires crept in to this part? Is the introductory rite of the Tridentine Mass also the priest’s preparation, and also his contrition of sin, and also the contrition of the ministers, and also the Kyrie, and also the adoration of the Gloria, plus an entrance antiphon (Introit) stuck in between, plus other prayers of humility while kissing the altar, plus, plus, plus ???? So exactly what is this first part of the Mass supposed to accomplish? And if some of these parts were inserted in the 4th, 5th, or 6th centuries, for what reason, and was it true organic growth.
The comment I hear from people in these blogs is “but I feel good when the 2nd confiteor is done. They should never have changed it.” That may sound like a defense of tradition, but it could also be very much a parroting of the liberals’ mindset that we keep things in the liturgy because they feel good. And if that’s the case let’s just ignore the fact that the Missal has dropped the 2nd confiteor, because we don’t have to go along with any change that we don’t agree with. For instance, “The English translation should not be changed, because I feel better with the present translation.”
The second paragraph above should state: “If we were to simply go by what is for the “true good of the faithful” almost anything could be inserted into the liturgy, or allowed to remain there unchanged. As a rite that communicates grace from outward signs, and signs which must be clear and simple, the liturgy must not present signs which are merely emotionally fulfilling.”
I was trained as an altar server in 1956. At that time, I was told that the server’s Confiteor at the foot of the altar was the server’s confession and that the server’s Confiteor before communion was done as the people’s representative and that it was important to keep this in mind. Therefore, when the Confiteor before communion was eliminated, I was scandalized and lost much sleep over it. Was I no longer fulfilling my mission of representing the people? Now, perhaps what I was taught was the personal theology of the nun who instructed me and had no basis in fact. I didn’t now that then and I don’t know it now. All I know is that without the pre-communion Confiteor, something doesn’t seem right and no matter how much theologising I hear against it, that doesn’t change my feelings. That said, of course, this should not be all about my feelings, and I agree. I’m just saying it was all very hard on a 14-year-old boy who loved the Mass.
“As far as frequently repeating this prayer on the grounds that “one can never confess enough,” it can be a symptom of spiritual OCD, otherwise known as scrupulosity.
Sooner or later we have to get our eyes off ourselves and onto God’s forgiveness.”
There is nothing scrupulous about not being able to confess enough and knowing this. There is everything scrupulous about not really believing it. That is the peculiar pride of the scrupulous conscience. After all, it is precisly the realization of not being able to accuse ourselves enough, I’m speaking about a true realization rooted in humilty, that propels us forward in the hope of God’s Mercy. Without this it is nothing but presumption.
A Legitimate Liturgist priest-scholar (who gave a conference on Chant at which I met the most wonderful Fr. Z) holds that the ‘third Confiteor’ is a vestige–as Mr. Man With Black Hat notes above.
But there’s a bit more than his explanation.
Years ago, in a tradition going back many MORE years, a number of the Faithful would arrive at the early weekday Mass just in time for Communion. They were called “daily Communicants.” (Yes, I’m old enough to remember them, including being able to name several from my home parish..) Don’t ask me how that started, or why. I don’t know.
Anyhoo, that ‘third Confiteor’ was there for them, too.
Now, few (if any) people are “daily communicants” in that way; most are able to attend the entire Mass.
As to B-16 “indulging” the practice: I’d be very interested in seeing documentation of that claim.
Finally, it is supremely ironic that a certain Order of priests (based offshore) demands–and I mean DEMANDS–obedience from the laity on issues large and small–yet flagrantly and knowingly DIS-obeys the 1962 Rubrics on this matter.
Some things never change.
Fr. Sotelo wrote: “The comment I hear from people in these blogs is ‘but I feel good when the 2nd confiteor is done. They should never have changed it.’”
That is not what I am seeing from people above. I am reading many comments about the liturgical point of the 3rd/final Confiteor: that is, it is the one for the people receiving communion. Not for the priest (1st Confiteor) and not for the server (2nd Confiteor). So if there is a congregation to receive communion, the final Confiteor is said with the final absolution. If not, then no. Archbishop Bugnini did not give a reason when he hacked off that prayer — he did so without sufficient explanation, so now we have the mess to clean up.
As an aside I find it interesting that most traditional Latin Masses that have a priest who will not allow the 3rd/final Confiteor still recite the Prayers After Low Mass. If you’re going to do one, do both — they were each deleted in the same Bugnini package. The latter, however, features the congregation making vocal responses, my guess as to why more liberally-minded TLM priests are apt to keep them while scrapping the final Confiteor.
When my family attended the Indult Mass in my youth, the priest followed the rubrics for the 1962 missal so there was no 3rd Confiteor. If the Confiteor before Communion was for the people (as some have stated), it makes sense that it would be omitted at some point during the liturgical renewal of the 20th century. No matter how the Confiteor became part of the prayers at the foot of the altar, by the 1960′s, hand missals and textbooks and the example of the Dialogue Mass had taught the laity that the altar boy’s Confiteor was their Confiteor too. If Rome has given permission for the insertion of the 3rd Confiteor in the 1962 Missal, great. If not, please don’t do it because some of us don’t like illicit practices, even in the name of tradition.
//…some of us don’t like illicit practices…//
Alice: From my reading of Fr. Z’s comments and the comments of other contributors, it seems that the situation is not one of illicitness but of allowing something that is not explicitly forbidden. If the final Confiteor was explicitly forbidden, then it would be illicit – but it doesn’t sound to me like it’s explicitly forbidden. It may merely be regarded as irregular, but acceptable. For example, if I intentionally start a fire in a restaurant I would violate the law. But, there are many other things I could do in a restaurant that would not be illegal but would also not be acceptable. Just as there are things that are not explicitly allowed by the law that are, nonetheless, perfectly acceptable. Perhaps Fr. Z will clarify.
Not for the priest (1st Confiteor) and not for the server (2nd Confiteor).
The altar servers, like the choir, are representatives of the faithful. The confiteor that they say during the Prayers at the foot of the altar are said on behalf of the people AND for themselves.
is not one of illicitness but of allowing something that is not explicitly forbidden
Say the black, do the red.
What Jesuit school trained you?
The latest fashion from our NO pastor is to leave out the first Confiteor….
wolfeken: There is in the sacred liturgy a communal prayer led by the priest, acting in the person of Christ but also acting on behalf of the members of the Church, which is directed to the praise and glory of the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit. During certain parts of the Mass, the Church asks the people to actively join in, and at other parts to allow the priest alone to speak on behalf of the people through Christ, with Him, and in Him.
In Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Church asks that all the prayers recited by the priest be seen as prayers on behalf of the people, not “his prayers, the servers’ prayers, the servers’ or priest’s prayers on behalf of the people.” The liturgy is not meant to be chopped up into compartments which certain people posses as their special property. So technically, we only need one confiteor, and one of everything else.
As far as the Low Mass prayers, those are not part of the liturgy and are not relevant to a discussion of rubrics, per se. In the 1962 Missal, it is not required to follow Low Mass with the Leonine prayers, but since Mass is finished at that point, the priest and people are free to engage in any devotional actions they may wish without violating any Mass rubric. The Church encourages, outside of Mass, any and all devotional prayers, including the reciting of the Leonine prayers. On the other hand, the pre-Communion Confiteor is part of rubrics within the Mass, and the insistence on including it is a violation of the rubric. I don’t know why we must dispense ourselves from “Say the black, do the red” at this part of the liturgy but not others. It is very simple. The priest and servers at Mass should not be doing what is not prescribed.
Father Z wrote, “However, the 1962MR does not have the 2nd Confiteor before Holy Communion. In many places, I would guess most places, it is done anyway regardless.”
I do believe this is the case, as I attend the EF at a FSSP parish and the Confiteor is always there before Holy Communion. At every FSSP Mass I’ve ever been to, in fact, this has been the case.; the commenter did not say anything about other Western Liturgies or about the Eastern Liturgies. Certainly other approved liturgies are worthy of our attention, but isn’t it okay to prefer one Rite over another? Especially if the preferred Rite is a commonly accepted Rite of the region where one lives, and more importantly, if the preferred Rite is celebrated in the parish or diocese where one lives? Additionally, the title “the Mass of the Ages” has, for quite some time, been understood to refer to the EF form of the Mass.
Pretty good discussion here.
As a member of a Schola, I find myself grateful every week for the Confiteor before Holy Communion. Why? During the 1st confiteor, I’m busy singing either an Introit or a Kyrie, so the extra recollection is very helpful.
Chris
Several things,
1. I do not know what the current status of the prayers after low Mass are, but in 1962 they were no optional. They could, however, be omitted in certain cases (when the Mass is followed by Benediction or a procession, when a sermon is given, when the Mass is celebrated with more solemnity-e.g. a nuptial Mass, etc). This at least is what the most recent edition of Fortescue-O’Connell-Reid states, as well as the Ceremonies of the Mass by O’Connell
2. The FSSP follows a very simply rule in general here. Where it was retained as custom, the 2nd/3rd confiteor is said in their Masses. Where it was not so retained they do not re-introduce it. Hence the different experiences of different people
3. Wolfeken- assuming the 3rd Confietor is still allowed in 1962, it is certainly permissible to chant it. The rubrics do not direct this, but custom sanctions it. We make a mistake when we read rubrics as if they were American laws. For instance, according to the rubrics a processional cross is used only in Pontifical Masses and a few Masses a year (e.g. Palm Sunday). Yet in English speaking countries the use of such a cross is common place. Or again, according to the rubrics the bell at Mass is rung a) at the sanctus, b) sometime shortly before the consecration c) either once continually, or three times for each elevation. d) Shortly before communion to single to the faithful who may wish to receive to come up. The exact manner (e.g. at the Hanc Igitur) is not determined, and custom admits a variety of other rings.
To all- In the Ceremonies of the Roman Rite, Canon O’Connell has an excellent chapter on rubrics and custom. Read it before you start accusing priests of disobedience. Or else get equally worked up about a processional cross being used, the omission of the Sanctus candle, or the use of more than one server at low Mass of a priest (actually that last one was reprobated several times by the SRC, who allowed the use of more than one only when there was a just cause)
4. As a point of fact, it is not disobedience to have the 3rd Confiteor. I wrote the Society of St. John Cantius about this (and have talked to various priests, e.g. Fr. Berg, FSSP). Fr. Scott Haynes, SJC gave me this.
Now I would like to see said copy of the SCR decree and obviously can only trust that what this priest wrote me is true, but I think it is downright scandalous and indeed the utmost disrespect to the priests of the FSSP or ICR to call them disobedient. You would have to claim also that priests of the SCJ, FSSP, et al. are liars. It may well be legitimate to wonder about how this works, to ask a priest if he can show you where permission is had or point you in the right direction, etc. But to jump to, as many com-box attackers have here, accusations of disobedience is abhorrent
To clarify: what I have been told by the FSSP is that they were given permission for it where it was still customary upon their arrival (whether that means a pre-existing Latin Mass group, or, as with the SCJ, it was done in the 1960′s I do not know). My understanding is that they don’t want to “rock the boat” too much with communities that expect it.
I use my father’s 1954 missal at Mass, and expected the 2nd Confiteor – and I got it at the regular Friday Mass I attend. I did notice one week when I forgot the Missal, that it was not in the LMS version. I also saw it at the FSSP Masses.
I like it, because I am occasionally prone to distraction and thus venial sin at Mass, that I love to feel that I am confessing and receiving absolution quietly at the point I have finally decided to receive Communion. I am not over-scrupulous – it just feels right.
I
Of course, our priest simply removes the first confiteor from our O.F. Mass and dispenses with the whole problem…
\\)….\\
In the Apostles’ Creed, it says, “I believe in the forgiveness of sins…..” Does that not mean we are required to believe that (should the spiritual conditions be met) our sins are forgiven?
*; **
It is one thing to love or prefer one particular rite and spiritual tradition of the Church. I make no secret that I love the Byzantine tradition. This does not mean I do not respect the other authorized Liturgies of the Church, and assist at them as I am able.
However, I have noticed that aficionados of the Extraordinary Form frequently use the term “mass of the/all ages” to assert that is it somehow inherently superior to the Ordinary Form, if not all the other authorized Eucharistic Liturgies as well. In my experience, many of such people have not even HEARD that there are Eastern Liturgies, or even non-Roman Western liturgies, but are merely using “mass of the/all ages” in a triumphalist way.
Others labor under the mistaken and outdated notion that the Roman Rite somehow has some kind of pre-eminence or priority or perfection, and the more an Eastern liturgy is assimilated to it, the more “perfect” it is.
It seems there is plenty of reason to say that the 2nd/3rd Confiteor is legitimate. The Leonine prayers are basically a “prescribed” devotional, but I don’t see why we do not just keep them going. I do not see any reason to throw around terms like “disobedient” and so forth. It is especially quite beautiful at a Solemn High Mass.
As to the other liturgies and the “Mass of the Ages”, at least in my experience, other TLM fans also appreciate the other traditional liturgies-East and West. However, it is just the way it is that the Latin Rite has the preeminence in that it is the most wide spread. When most people think “Catholic” they think of the Roman Rite. Even in the secular world, when they want to paint something as Catholic (especially in film) it is often in varying degrees of the pre-Vatican II Roman trappings. Its basically shorthand to speak of all things Roman as preeminently Catholic, inaccurate yes, but resonate with lived collective experience.
Much thanks for the original post and all of the comments.
I recently moved to a parish which includes a traditional Latin Mass in its Sunday Mass schedule. Having grown up with the Latin Mass (Vatican II began when I was in grade school), I was very pleased to dig out my old Latin-English missal again. But I was really puzzled by the “extra” Confiteor right before Communion. I had never experienced that before. So I was really wondering what was up.
It’s nice to have some of the historical background now.
Dear Joshua08:
Thank you for your contribution on the last confiteor; it ought to be more widely known.
Sincerely,
John Pepino
When the Confiteor was dropped as part of Blessed John XXIII’s revised rubrics in 1960, permission was given shortly after by the Sacred Congregation of Rites to continue the second Confiteor, where it was an established custom.
Fine, assuming that there WAS such a custom, uninterrupted. And I’m sure you can supply a citation, which would be interesting for all parties.
But when it is re-instated despite strict obedience to the 1962 rubrics (from 1962-200X), the argument from “custom” is void. That is a case, by the way, with which I am intimately familiar. (The disobedience extends to using the “Benedicamus Domino” at all Masses during Lent and Advent, another practice which was deleted, and there are other seriously questionable practices which I won’t discuss here.)
Then we have ‘disobedience’, plain and simple.
And if one digs around enough, one discovers that the 3rd Confiteor had been dropped (de facto) in most cases because there WAS NO celebration of the EF from ~1969 to ~2000. How can one claim “uninterrupted custom” with a 30-year gap?
The origin of the practice was thoroughly explained above–which also thoroughly explains the reason(s) it was dropped. (See Black Hat’s entry.)
The Roman Ritual as late as 1964 still provides for the use of the Confiteor before the reception of Holy Communion by the faithful as an option
That was covered under my entry for “Daily Communicants” who did NOT attend the entire Mass.
You’re applying legislation to the wrong case.
dad29: Very good point. A custom is something that should endure for years, and yet if the EF has been gone all those years in most communities, how can one claim a “custom” as reason to continue the confiteor right before Communion?
Beyond the issues of “oh well, it’s already a custom here” or “we don’t want to confuse the faithful” there is the tendency of priests to simply do what they wish to do at the liturgy. This is actually not willful disobedience. It is simply a tendency of many priests, both liberal and traditionalist, to do things during Mass that they sincerely believe are for the good of the faithful and fall under “epikeia” or prudential judgment. The thinking is to make up your mind on a liturgical practice, and then build a theological or legal rationalization around it, or find refuge in obscure indults, special permissions, etc. I find that disagreeable, but that is simply how priests tend to think when they deal with liturgical practices which they feel like/insist on doing.
Dad29,
I believe that the SSPX has reinserted the pre-Communion Confiteor since their founding, so in some places it is “established custom.” If a priest in union with the local bishop offers the EF in a place where the SSPX has been established for a while, I can see why Rome might have given permission for this priest to reinsert this Confiteor. I just don’t know that Rome HAS given such permission and without it, it should not be done.
Fr. Basil,
Thank you for not ascribing to malice would could be ascribed to ignorance, but I am not sure that is always (or even often) the case. I can still get worked up about one book I read by a Latin Rite triumphalist who argued that since the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom was only published 10 years before the Council of Trent, it didn’t fall under the established tradition exception or remembering how our priest told us that there were no rubrics in the Divine Liturgy so the priest was even freer to do whatever he wanted than in the Novus Ordo. Many people are ignorant about the different variants of the Western Mass, which are older than the Mass which Abp. Lefebvre called the “Mass of All-Time” but at least in the circles I found myself there was an active dislike for the non-Latin liturgies.
This is actually not willful disobedience. It is simply a tendency of many priests, both liberal and traditionalist, to do things during Mass that they sincerely believe are for the good of the faithful and fall under “epikeia” or prudential judgment.
Yes, well….
Sometimes that ‘confiteor’ issue is part of a larger pattern of willful deviations from established norms, in which case(s) “closing one’s eyes” is imprudent–and people are obligated to speak out.
I understand “pastoral” considerations. But at the same time, expecting the laity to live to standards and at the same time being a bit………flaccid……..seems to me to be a dangerous path. Which rules are to be obeyed? Which are to be gently ignored?
And no, I’m not talking “salvation is at risk” here, but still……VatII places very great weight on the Mass.
dad29: And therein lies the controversy over the pre-Communion confiteor. There is an unspoken assumption in the EF Mass world that the present Magisterium should indeed be gently ignored, at times, in matters regarding the liturgy. To repeat a favorite mantra of many people, “the novus ordo is a big joke. What right do novus ordo hierarchy and priests have to question the Mass of the Ages?” Of course, Fr. Z doesn’t tolerate that disrespect in his blog, but it doesn’t mean that many folks do not quietly think that way towards the present Magisterium.
I can understand why the FSSP would gravitate to reciting the last confiteor. The SSPX recite the pre-Communion confiteor, and for many they are still the true standard of what is Catholic. And sad to say, the FSSP is at times dogged with the accusation that they are not really as Catholic as the SSPX, that they are compromised, watered down, and not as free as SSPX to be true defenders of tradition. That is not my opinion, by the way; I deeply admire the FSSP. But if the FSSP tell their priests to not recite the pre-Communion confiteor, it does leave them vulnerable to the accusation that they are indult wannabees who are prepared to act just like the “indult priests” who are not true priests but “presbyters.” In some ways, reciting the pre-Communion confiteor is a way to say, “see, we still offer a true Catholic Mass.”
I still don’t buy, Joshua08, the argument that custom allows the final Confiteor to be sung in a non-pontifical High Mass. The missal is very clear as to what is sung and what is not. And it (or the Pontificale Ceremoniale) very clearly says the final Confiteor is to be sung at a pontifical High Mass.
If a “custom” arises to sing this pontifical privilege at a regular High Mass, then what is to stop a “custom” of singing the final blessing?
As far as those who claim the traditional Latin Mass was “gone” from 1969 to 2007′ish, it is possible that it was gone from your world, but recall the people who worked to get the 1970 Agatha Christie indult, the JPII 1984/88 indults and the Benedict motu proprio have been saying/hearing this Mass validly in one location or another non-stop. Please don’t assume the Mass magically re-started when you attended the novus ordo. To that end, it absolutely makes sense to say the old SCR permission for a final Confiteor still applies.
In some ways, reciting the pre-Communion confiteor is a way to say, “see, we still offer a true Catholic Mass.”
Umnnhhh….see today’s post on this very blog.
.
—wherein “he” is B-16, speaking to the Bishops of Italy.
There is no real dilemma here, just as there is no ‘dilemma’ in stating that “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood…”. Either take it or leave it. There was no ‘pastoral shimmy’ in those words, good Father.
By the way, I’m sure you’ve noticed that no one has YET come up with a citation “indulging” this practice. Moreover, it is irrelevant what SSPX does or did. Their abuse of the Liturgy cannot license another abuse of the Liturgy, can it?
Ah, well.
This video from the 1940′s shows the chanting of the 2nd confiteor. I again urge that people pick up a copy of O’Connell (pre-1962 versions are at least online) and read what he says of custom. Try to stop thinking like a modern about prescriptive law, and start thinking remembering that custom can even abrogate the laws of Councils, and is the best interpreter of laws and makes laws. As I said in my post above, I can only trust what I have been told when I inquired. It is extremely unhealthy, arrogant and misplaced for a layman to jump to accusing any of these priests of disobedience. If you go to a Mass where the 2nd confiteor is done, inquire if you must, but don’t presume that your amateur reading of rubrics is the end all and be all of how things are to be done. Or else get rid of processional crosses, using more than one server at a low Mass and various other things that are clearly customs against the rubrics.
I do not claim to know with certitude that every use of the 2nd confiteor is legitimate. But it is not my worry or concern. I do know that both the SSPX and FSSP do it only where the congregation expects it….and considering that custom arises from the ground up, is not imposed by a priest and can gain the force of law even when against a law (depending on the case) I hesitate to censure anyone. The FSSP claims that Ecclesia Dei greenlighted this policy (see ). Perhaps they are lying. But that would be presumption to assume that. And again, rubrics are not like American law. Say the black, do the red has its use, but law in the Catholic sense is rooted in custom and not merely the vis verborum. For instance, a single genuflection is prescribed at benediction, but no one sane would rebuke a double genuflection there. Again, before the modifications of the GIRM in recent memory, we had the 1973 GIRM and against the rubric of that GIRM we continued kneeling after the Agnus Dei…Rome’s response? Perfectly alright to do! Heck, the new rubric is to bow (when standing) before receiving. But genuflection is fine ()
The short shrift: liturgical law, like any law really, is not just “black and red” in that what is “red” is in part determined, expanded, etc by custom
BTW, the SSPX originally did not do the 2nd Confiteor. They bowed to the custom of places where they were establishing their apostolates.
It is extremely unhealthy, arrogant and misplaced for a layman to jump to accusing any of these priests of disobedience.
Not if that layman is being advised by very senior liturgical Ph.D’s, fella.
And please recall that one CAN licitly judge actions. When I see you fatally shoot your mother, I can say, with no hesitation, that you murdered your mother. There may be mitigating circumstances, but it doesn’t change the fact.
The FSSP says they have a letter from E.D. allowing their variation. I’m willing to believe that. But that letter does NOT apply to others–and since we can’t see the letter, we don’t even know if it applies only to that particular parish, or to the FSSP in general, or to the FSSP only in the US.
Who are you calling fella? Please sir, do not presume you are talking to an uneducated dolt. If letters after a name count, I am not without them.
PhD’s in liturgy? I know a few myself (well more accurately S.T.L and S.T.D’s with a liturgical/sacramental theology emphasis). But most liturgists I know tend to think “traditional = bad” and also tend to have a very American understanding of the law. Note you have not addressed the issue of custom, which makes, abrogates and interprets laws. Church law is not as prescriptive as modern law.
The fact is you have admitted, you do not know. So please stop calumny. You have not seen that letter right…maybe it lays down a general principle, may not. Who knows? I do not. But neither do you. And if it is a personal rescript one can possibly argue they would get the same response (assuming similar circumstances) and act on it. Who are you to say it does not apply? Church law is, despite its codification, not yet modern, despite your protestations.
And again, do you work at suppressing having two servers at low Mass? Not only is that against the rubrics, but on several occasions (e.g. 1953) the SRC reprobated the use of more than one with certain exceptions. There you have a clear and unequivocal abuse. Now go at it and foam at the mouth and cry abuse. Take away those processional crosses, and tackle servers that carry the thurible during the recessional and fight against all those horrendous abuses.
What no? No one cares about the fact that those practices are contra rubricam? Instead they like to attack only the issue of the second confiteor? Why is that?
Custom?
It is clear that in the vast majority of the cases here and abroad, “custom” has nothing to do with it.
You claim that “custom” is in place when the EF was not celebrated for 30 (or more) years. Well, OK. Then perhaps the custom of celebrating Mass on the hood of a Jeep for armed forces should be revived. It’s only been in dis-use since the end of the Korean War, after all.
Curious that you crusade against one “custom”–that of using 2 altar servers–while frothing and spittle-spewing over those who are disturbed by another “custom.”
Calumniator, indeed.

Republicans have plenty of problems to deal with from news from the past 24-48 hours. I’m going to center my focus around the swine flu infections because it provides an interesting related topic to most of them.
Republicans have spent some of their energy the past two years denouncing any efforts to plan or prepare for a possible influenza epidemic, even though the probability of one occurring continues to mount. It’s an offshoot of their anti-science agenda and it’s left the country in a worse state than it otherwise should be in. As cases of swine flu infections continue to increase, most Americans are rightfully worried about the topic. The swine flu can obviously be transferred from swine to humans, something that isn’t terribly shocking in an of itself if you’ve paid attention to how influenze evolves. The scary question now, and in any potential influenze epidemic, is how transferable is the flu from person to person? What is the rate of infection between people? The higher that rate, the more strained our health management system becomes. Side-topic: if it were actually a health-care system, people might be less worried.
One shameful aspect of this story is the actions of Maine’s Senator Susan Collins, a self-styled “moderate”. I’ve argued for a number of years now that many elected officials aren’t “moderate” in the sense that they once were or in ways that are relevant in today’s political climate. For instance, how “moderate” is it for Sen. Collins to extoll her efforts to remove a $900 million pandemic preparedness proposal from President Obama’s recovery bill? Further, how “moderate” is it for Sen. Collins to have removed any record of doing so from her website? Either she believes she did the morally right thing in preventing some “wasteful spending” from making it through the Congress or she doesn’t. Now that we have a potential epidemic on our hands, she isn’t, though she was even a few short days ago. That isn’t principled and it isn’t moderate. She was sucking up to the extremist Cons in her party until it became painfully obvious that she would be rightfully targeted by a majority of the public for doing so. What happens if the outbreak spreads and real people end up dying and the economy further suffers? How proud will Sen. Collins be of her anti-spending stance then?
Another shameful aspect of this story is the lack of a Health and Human Services Secretary. Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius was nominated months ago, but the extremist, obstructionist, ‘Party of No’ had placed an unwarranted hold on her nomination due to her pro-choice stance. That hold was in place until today, when the Senate suddenly moved her nomination forward and approved her. Again, a group of extremist Con Senators were doing their best to placate their extremist anti-woman base by denying Gov. Sebelius’ nomination until it looked like it would be very politically stupid to continue to do so. Sec. Sebelius didn’t gain any special skills overnight. None of her views changed. Neither did those of the Senators holding her nomination back. Sec. Sebelius won’t be running around the country forcing women to have abortions that they don’t want to have. The Con Senators were simply more interested in proving how ideologically pure they were; they were determined to show the American people that the government really doesn’t work, dammit, until a potential crisis erupted.
This behavior is disgusting.
