ROCKFORD — There's no evidence that Rockford police caused a March 4 crash that killed a teenager.
That's according to a Winnebago and Boone County Integrity Task Force investigation.
Robert Lee Wilson Jr., 17, of Rockford, died March 4 after being thrown from a maroon Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a vehicle similar to one suspected in an earlier shots-fired incident. The car struck a tree at 15th Avenue and 7th Street.
The driver of the Monte Carlo, Drakkar Malone, 25, told the Rockford Register Star during a hospital bed interview earlier this year that his car had been struck by an unmarked Rockford Police Department squad car and forced off the road.
"They never turned lights on," he said during the interview. Malone was left partially paralyzed below the waist. Another passenger, a teenage girl, was treated and released after the crash.
Task force investigators mapped where every Rockford squad car had been during the incident by using Global Positioning System tracking devices. They inspected all vehicles in the Rockford police fleet for damage or evidence of involvement in the crash. And they reviewed all video of the incident from dash cameras to determine whether the Chevy had been hit by a police vehicle, Illinois State Police Lt. Todd Shaver said.
"We reviewed all of it and none of it pointed to validating his story at all," Shaver said.
The task force draws detectives from 15 departments across the region to investigate officer-involved shootings and in-custody deaths. It was formed as a way to provide impartial investigations and ensure public confidence in the investigation. The department being investigated is excluded from the investigative team.
Winnebago County State's Attorney Joe Bruscato is reviewing the case and is said to be bringing new charges against Malone. So far Malone has been cited for traffic violations and fined $600 for driving without insurance.
Rockford Police Department Assistant Deputy Chief Pat Hoey referred requests for comment to Bruscato, who could not immediately be reached. A spokeswoman for Bruscato's office said no announcement was planned.
The Rev. Melvin Brown of Kingdom Authority International Ministries, 518 N. Court St., a relative of Wilson's, said he does not believe the police account.
Brown is a plaintiff in one of two continuing civil lawsuits against police officers and the city over the August 2009 death of Mark Anthony Barmore. Barmore was shot to death by police in the basement of Brown's church after fleeing from officers.
Today Rockford police attempted to arrest Malone on homicide charges, Brown said. Officers took a warrant to his mother's Sixth Street address, Brown said, but Malone was not there.
"It's a cover-up," Brown said. "It's a cover-up to point the murder on him instead of pointing it on the officers."
But Shaver said the investigation of Malone's claim had been thorough and impartial.
Police had not yet attempted to stop Malone's vehicle before it crashed, Shaver said. Police intended to initiate a traffic stop, but the Monte Carlo was too far away and then hit a tree, he said.
"Any time we look at these things, we want to get the facts," Shaver said. "We have no preconceived notions."

- Georgia Food Bank Association
- Georgia Mountain Food Bank
- Food Well Alliance
- Georgia Food Oasis
- Kids In Need Foundation
Created in 1985, the Georgia Food Bank Association (GFBA) is a membership association serving the eight regional food banks in Georgia, which collectively distribute more than 130 million pounds of food annually to 2,600 partner nonprofits with food assistance programs in all 159 counties throughout the state. The Association's eight regional food banks and their more than 2,600 partner agencies make it one of the largest associations in the state of Georgia.
The Association was created in a statewide effort to support the food security of low-income and needy individuals, families and households, through their efforts and in support of their member food banks. Its role is to coordinate and maximize the efforts of member food banks in the State, enabling them to better provide a healthy and adequate food supply for people in need:
- Identify and facilitate the sharing of best practices
- Advocacy and Public Awareness about hunger issues and the role of food banks in combating hunger
- Seeking sources of funding, food and resources to meet the needs of the hungry through the Association and its member food banks
- Building alliances and other relationships that advance the mission of the Association and its members
The food banks are members of Feeding America, the national network of more than 200 food banks.
Georgia Mountain Food Bank's (GMFB's) mission is to address hunger, health and quality of life by serving those in need. An affiliate of Atlanta Community Food Bank, they provide a vital link between sources of food supplies and hardworking community-based partner agencies who help get the food into the hands of families and individuals in need.
Food Well Alliance, formed in partnership with Atlanta Community Food Bank, exists to connect members of Atlanta's local food movement around building healthier communities, transforming our local food system and improving our lives.
What is a local food movement? It is a movement of people, organizations, businesses and educators that are all working to put more local food on the table, which strengthens our community and our local economy.
These individuals and organizations support local agriculture, food distribution channels, awareness efforts, food waste recovery and, of course, food consumption. As we say – if you eat, you're in.
The Atlanta Community Food Bank is involved in a collaborative effort of community, organizations, business, funders, etc. to improve fresh and healthy food distribution in underserved neighborhoods. The Georgia Food Oasis program helps communities develop innovative and affordable ways for residents to discover, taste and learn about food. By working together, neighbors, nonprofits and community leaders can help community members shop smarter, eat healthier and feel better. Through an Eat – Cook – Grow strategy, the Georgia Food Oasis will enhance opportunities for residents to come together to cook up their own food future. While the Westside Atlanta is the pilot location, the Food Oasis will be replicated throughout Georgia. Over the next 3 years, the Food Bank will expand Food Oasis throughout the City of Atlanta, while Georgia Organics focuses on expanding Food Oasis throughout the state.
The Kids In Need Foundation's mission is to ensure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed in the classroom by providing free school supplies nationally to students most in need. The Kids In Need Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1995, has distributed nearly $1 billion in school supplies, directly benefiting 6.2 million students and 200,000 teachers annually.

Online Tweet-Monitoring Reveals Widespread Anti-TSA Sentiments Gallery
Jurriaan Maessen
January 6, 2013
Patrick Seitz, a technology business journalist, has for one full year evaluated traffic on Twitter, monitoring people's experiences with the TSA. The results of his monitoring endeavors, aggregated from December 18 2011 to December 18 2012, have revealed no less than 23.000 complaints about the TSA, varying from racial profiling to vandalism, theft, confiscation of harmless personal products and other infringements.
Seitz's online sampling independently confirms countless other reports by people across the United States, who have reported on the TSA's handling of the task of safeguarding airport security after 9/11.
Exactly one year after he started his investigation, Seitz broke down in some detail the results which he collected on his Twitter account TSA Rants:
"Over the past 12 months, I've documented more than 23,000 complaints about the TSA. And that barely scratches the surface."
As Seitz points out, his collection of tweets makes out the tip of the iceberg, as his monitoring was limited to a few hours a day:
"I sampled just a few hours of Twitter traffic a day, when my schedule allowed. The actual number of TSA complaints on Twitter is easily several times higher than that."
In his evaluation, Seitz discerns the complains, collecting them into several categories:
A complaint heard often is TSA employees' molesting and otherwise physically attacking attractive women. Here's just some of the comments describing the behavior of TSA personnel:
"Hey TSA guys, wanna not hit on me? Thanks."
"The TSA Agent just spent so much time patting me down that I feel like we are in a relationship now."
"That TSA officer was unnecessarily frisky. I'm fairly certain I saw a ring on HER finger."
"Did the TSA really have to squeeze my bun tho?"
"Missed my flight by 2 minutes!! But I did get to 2nd base with a TSA agent [;)] "
The list of TSA-misdoings literally goes on forever. All familiar aspects of the TSA's infringing upon elementary rights are covered extensively, such as the aggressive pat-downs, the theft and destruction of passenger items, the overall incompetence, the mistreating of the elderly and infirm. The most disturbing thing is, that Seitz only took an extremely rudimentary sample, albeit for a full year, pointing to widespread abuses by TSA personnel- and, by extension, a widespread distrust by the general public.

With a $50 million budget for 10 episodes, Game of Thrones is one of the biggest dice-throws in television history. HBO couldn't start small with its adaptation of George R.R. Martin's bestselling series, so the network had to risk all.
But will HBO's bold gambit in spending so much on a dark, weird series pay off? Or will the show appeal only to fans of the books? The debate is already starting.
Writing for The Atlantic, Nick Baumann from Mother Jones sent a raven flying into the skies with a dire warning:
The real test for Game of Thrones, of course, is whether it can gain an audience beyond fanboys and fangirls. One problem... is that epic television series with lots of characters can take a while to get going. It doesn't help that the book itself starts slowly. My girlfriend is reading it now, and she needed 50 or 100 pages to get hooked. This problem isn't unique to Game of Thrones-I know several people who watched one or two episodes of The Wire and then stopped...
I worry that many folks who haven't read the books, or don't read fantasy generally, won't find the moral ambiguity and general brutality of Martin's world particularly appealing. Part of the draw of Game of Thrones for fantasy readers is how different it is from the rest of the genre. But if you don't read fantasy, you might not care about that. Variety's Jon Weisman complains about the "complete joylessness in this world," and he's only seen the first three episodes.
It's a really interesting point, that Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire made its mark partly because of how different the series is from other fantasy books — but non-fans of fantasy might not care about that. Baumann also says the tons of graphic sex may turn off people, and the ambiguously brown Dothraki horse lords may feel like too much of a "noble savage" stereotype to some viewers, and you may be hearing a lot about people's discomfort with the Dothraki scenes in weeks to come.
But HBO series chief Sue Naegle tells Entertainment Weekly she's confident the show will get renewed — so much so, she's already telling the producers to start working on storylines for the show's second season. Naegle tells EW that this unusual show is exactly the kind of programming HBO wants — shows you can't see anywhere else, so you have to pay to watch them on HBO. The huge price tag for the first season is actually a major incentive to keep the show going, adds Naegle: "You don't want to see shows like this that are a big investment do one season and out." HBO is airing the first episode 11 times during the first 26 hours of the show's run, so you'll have lots of chances to see it.
In that same piece, EW's James Hibberd sounds a confident note:
Still, nothing is set in stone. No matter how much momentum there's behind the show, or how quality-driven and multi-platform-based the business model, HBO still needs Thrones to deliver a certain number on Sunday nights to continue. And its relatively large budget is a double-edged sword: Thrones ratings need to be stronger than a Treme or an In Treatment or The Wire - HBO shows that received renewals based largely on critical acclaim. But given the success of True Blood and AMC's The Walking Dead, high-quality, adult-targeted genre shows on cable have recently proven they can indeed deliver enviable numbers, and strong early reviews suggest Thrones might have what it takes.
My big concern is that, unlike Walking Dead and True Blood, Game of Thrones is both horrifying and confusing — there are a million characters, and most of them are introduced in the first episode. The big worry would be that a lot of people will tune in for the first hour, to see what the fuss was about — and then not come back for week two. But let's hope HBO's viewers are made of sterner stuff.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Kevin Alston won't physically be able to take the field with his teammates for a while, but he'll still be a major part of the New England Revolution as the 2013 season progresses.
The Revs will play their first game since Alston was diagnosed with a rare but treatable form of leukemia this Saturday afternoon when they visit Seattle Sounders FC and although Alston's name won't be penciled in on the team sheet, his teammates will be looking to him for strength in spirit.
"It's heartbreaking what he's going through, but at the same time, we know that he would want to be there with us," said Matt Reis. "When it's getting tough and when things aren't going our way, we just have to think of him and all that he's going through and hopefully that'll give us a little boost to get us where we need to be."
"Everyone knows about the situation with Kevin and it's something we've handled as a team and as a family," said Chris Tierney, one candidate to start at left back in Alston's absence. "We spoke with Kevin and all of our support is with him. We're thinking about him all week through training and obviously as we play this weekend."
The Revs have coped with the difficult task this week of processing the news about their teammate and dealing with the resulting emotions while simultaneously preparing for Saturday's game. Alston addressed his teammates on Monday morning and his presence was a boost as it gave players and coaches the chance to ask questions, show their support and as head coach Jay Heaps put it, "give him a hug and just see how he was doing."
Heaps has opened the door for Alston to visit his teammates as often as he pleases while undergoing treatment – whether he comes to the stadium "once a week, twice a week or 10 times a week," Heaps said – and hopes the support of his Revolution family will provide comfort during Alston's recovery.
At the same time, the players will continue to devote the required attention to the task at hand – namely, racking up some victories and climbing the Eastern Conference standings – as they play for the teammate who can't currently join them on the field.
"That was the quietest the (locker) room has been the entire time I've been here," Heaps said, referencing Alston's announcement to the team. "Those are tough emotions. But the guys have to use that and say, 'Look, Kevin can't play, but now we go on the field and [play] the game we love. Kevin would be out here if he could, but he just can't right now, so let's go out and get some wins and get Kevin back here as soon as we can.'"

Steering Committee
Display Information
Site Information
The purpose of the Working Forests in the Tropics
Conference (WFT) is to provide an interdisciplinary and interactive forum for
sharing and synthesis of information about tropical forest conservation and
management. This conference will
explore how scientists from universities and research organizations have worked
in partnership with government agencies, policy-makers, the private sector,
social movements, and natural resource managers to advance conservation and
development through applied research and capacity-building.
The conference will also offer networking opportunities for participants.
Should Attend
This conference is designed
to bring together academic and non-academic researchers and professionals
(national and international agencies, NGO and private sector) and students
interested in tropical forest, conservation, management, economics, and policy.
Conference Structure
Oral sessions have been organized around three primary
topics: training innovations, cross-scale multi-stakeholder processes, and
knowledge exchange to facilitate research. Each session will include invited
papers selected by the session moderator in consultation with the steering
committee, followed by a panel discussion. The final afternoon will include
breakout discussion groups which will allow participants to discuss and
synthesize the perspectives previously presented.
In addition to the oral sessions, there will be a poster session open to
submissions on any aspect of tropical forest conservation, economics,
management, or policy.

1. Training Innovations
session presents innovative models for the training of researchers and
practitioners. These innovations emphasize new tools and skills necessary for
researchers to engage in policy and conservation and development practice. The
models highlighted in this session include graduate education programs fostering
collaboration with various stakeholders, such as communities, NGOs and policy
makers, training programs bridging gaps between academic and applied skill sets,
and the development of tools facilitating the exchange of information, knowledge
and capacity across scales.
2. Cross-Scale Multi-stakeholder Processes
This session showcases lessons from conservation
and development initiatives involving the collaboration of multiple stakeholders
at various scales. Within these initiatives, research may be just one of many
objectives. The presentations in this session highlight the role of science and
research within the context of these processes as well as the perception of
science by various stakeholders. Public policy directives have often
land use changes in tropical forest regions, especially those related to
infrastructure and agricultural development.
3. Knowledge Exchange to Facilitate Research
How can we effectively engage local stakeholders
in the scientific research process to facilitate knowledge exchange between
scientists, resource managers, practitioners and policy-makers in conservation
and development? Presentations in this session highlight innovative and ethical
strategies for collaborating with local people in the design and implementation
of scientific research, as well as in the dissemination of research results.
Capacity building is considered an important way to bridge the gap between
science and practice.

Oct 11, 2012 – Nigerian Women Looking For Men; Naija Ladies Seeking Younger Guys
Nigerian women looking and seeking for men is a global issue according to survey, the rate of delivery of men is lower than that of women hence the scarcity of men.
Major reason why Nigerian women look for men or husband might varies from individuals to individuals which includes broken marriage, loneliness and so on.
A recent survey by the Giant Condom manufacturing company- DUREX named Nigerian women most unfaithful in the world. This declaration was made by the company after a survey involving 29,000 people interviewed from 36 countries was conducted. The survey had revealed that the top two countries with cheating women are Nigeria and Thailand , the survey further revealed that as many as 62percent of Nigerian women have cheated or still cheating on their men. University Dons in Nigeria have debunked this report by describing the research methodology used in the survey as "scientifically weak".
Older Nigerian women looking for younger men are called sugar mummies
Finding Nigerian women looking for men is easy if you go to popular Nigerian dating websites.

The EarTouch interface is designed to make your experience with The Dash Pro as pleasant, fluid and intuitive as possible. To control The Dash Pro you use a range of simple Tap, Hold and Swipe gestures on the lower half of the EarTouch interface.
Below you can find a list of the basic gestures to control The Dash Pro.
A Tap is a light touch on the EarTouch interface. You need to apply a small amount of force for The Dash Pro to be able to detect a Tap. A successful Tap will be confirmed by a sound icon.
Hold & Long Hold
A Hold is initiated with a single Tap but keeping your finger on the EarTouch interface. After one second you will hear a sound icon, indicating that you can now remove your finger from the interface. Removing your finger will trigger the Hold gesture.
To issue a Long Hold; Tap and Hold your finger on the EarTouch interface for 5 seconds until you hear a second sound icon (e.g. pairing sound).
Swiping is a swift horizontal movement across the EarTouch interface, using the tip of your finger. A Swipe can be issued in either a backwards or forwards direction.
The optical touch technology
The EarTouch interface uses a technology called optical touch. As an advantage to touch screens on smartphones and other devices, our optical touch technology enables you to control The Dash Pro even when it is wet or when wearing (most) gloves.
To prevent the EarTouch interface from triggering unintentionally when wearing a hat or with long hair covering the interface, we applied smart algorithms that detect the impact of your finger on the surface in addition to the optical recognition. Additionally, you can also lock the EarTouch interface by holding both The Right Dash Pro and The Left Dash Pro simultaneously.

Although sincere in his life-long efforts for the rights of the Metis people, he was misunderstood by the clergy of the Roman Catholic church, said to have been mentally deranged, and was feared by the Canadian governments for his influence among the half-breeds and the Metis of Rupert's Land.
He married in the state of MONTANA where he was living in exile for fear of his life. His wife, Marguerite MONET dite BELLEHUMEUR was a Cree woman. They had 3 children, all having died young. The eldest, Jean, married Laura CASAULT in March 1908 in Québec City, QC where Jean had studied to become an engineer. Wanting to return to western Canada, Jean found a job with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway where he worked on a construction site 12 miles from his home in Saint-Vital, MB. One day, on his way home from work, his cart overturned and some ribs were fratured. Although the accident was not considered serious, Jean died from his injuries in July of 1908. He and his wife had no children; therefore, LOUIS RIEL has no direct descendants.

ek wrote:...it is still possible to have a knot that should never be used because it is so weak. (I believe that the double-loop and directional/inline figure-nines--unlike the regular figure-nine--are examples of this.)
[color highlighting in original]A Directional Figure-9 exists, as shown in the photo, but is not to be used. Contrary to common sense, it's weaker than a Directional Figure-8 when end-to-end shock-loaded - the problem is that the emerging rope (heading left in the photo) doesn't follow the entire pattern, and just bends around one turn as it leaves. Combined with the extra slip inside a Figure-9, this makes a rope-on-rope rub point at the worst position. The loop of the knot is fine, it's what it does to the straight-through strength of the rope that's the dangerous bit, and if the loop itself isn't loaded first the knot can be damaged by a severe shock load.
Also in the same "nice but deadly" camp is the Double Figure-9 (the Bunny-9). You've probably never seen one, but it exists (and here's a photo!). As with the Directional knot, it's impossible to make the inter-loop turn of rope follow the pattern of the knot, and it creates a very slippy rope-on-rope rub point. The Bunny-9 under a careful, equal load is the same strength as a Bunny-8, but if one loop is slack and the knot is shock-loaded, it can melt.

For an artist, there is no better way to celebrate Independence Day than with freedom of expression.
For an artist, there is no better way to celebrate Independence Day than with freedom of expression.
And so artists from throughout the area express themselves through paintings, photography, sculpture and other media at the 41st annual Fourth of July Art Festival, sponsored by the Chelmsford Art Society.
The festival will be held in conjunction with the town's Fourth of July events, and showcase more than 150 entries by artists of all ages from town and the region.
"We have people from Chelmsford, and from all over the place," said Helen Moriarty, the society's president, who said participating artists hail from Westford, Tyngsboro, Billerica, Lowell and elsewhere.
The show includes a competition for adult and student artists, whose works are divided and judged by grade level.
Judges have now announced the winners, with a range of prizes from honorable mentions to $100 for Best in Show for the adult category.
The winners will be formally announced at an artists' reception Friday from 5 to 6 p.m.
Artists pay an entry fee of $7 per work per member and $12 per work for nonmembers, and $3 for student entries – fees that allow the society to provide the prizes, Moriarty said.
Each year, the society picks a panel of different judges not actively affiliated with the society to award the prizes. This year's judges were Maris Platais, past president of the Concord Art Association; Nashua, N.H. based photographer Jack Ebel, and James Sullivan, former owner of The Art Room in Chelmsford.
In addition to the art festival, the society hosts activities that include a monthly demonstration by a featured guest artist.
But the town's Fourth of July festivities are a main attraction and a means of showcasing the talent the society draws, so to speak.
"We have the art show in conjunction with everything else," Moriarty said.
Of the turnout at the town's Fourth of July celebrations, she said, " We have so many people, it's unbelievable."If you go
The Chelmsford Art Society's annual Fourth of July Art Festival will be held at the Old Town Hall, 1 North Road, Chelmsford, Friday, July 3, 6-10 p.m. and Saturday, July 4, 8:30 a.m.- 1 p.m.
With awards, art work for sale, raffles and more.Admission: Free.
Festival artists can display their work at the Chelmsford Public Library, 25 Boston Road, Chelmsford, on view through July.

VATICAN CITY, 30 JUN 2011 (VIS) - Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for July is: "That Christ may ease the physical and spiritual sufferings of those who are sick with AIDS, especially in the poorest countries". (image source: Radio Vaticana)
His mission intention is: "That religious women in mission territories may be witnesses of the joy of the Gospel and living signs of the love of Christ".
VATICAN CITY, 30 JUN 2011 (VIS) - This morning in the Clementine Hall of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, Benedict XVI conferred the first "Ratzinger Prize", an award established by the "Vatican Foundation: Joseph Ratzinger - Benedict XVI". The prize winners were: Manlio Simonetti, an Italian layman and scholar of ancient Christian literature and Patrology; Olegario Gonzalez de Cardedal, a Spanish priest and professor of systematic theology, and Maximilian Heim, a German Cistercian, abbot of the monastery of Heiligenkreuz in Austria and professor of fundamental and dogmatic theology.
Following some words of greeting from Msgr. Giuseppe Antonio Scotti, president of the foundation, the Holy Father pronounced his address.
"According to tradition, theology is the science of the faith", said the Pope. "However, if the foundation of theology - i.e., faith - does not at the same time become a focus of thought, if the practice of theology refers only to itself or if it lives exclusively off borrowings from the humanities, then it becomes empty and baseless".
"Theology calls into question the matter of truth; this is its ultimate and essential foundation. Here an expression used by Tertullian may help us to take a step forward: Christ did not say: I am custom, but: I am the truth". The pagan religions, said the Holy Father "were customary by nature. ... They observed the traditional cultural forms, hoping in that way to maintain the right relationship with the mysterious world of the divine. The revolutionary aspect of Christianity in antiquity was precisely its break with 'custom' out of love for truth". The Gospel of St. John "contains the other fundamental interpretation of the Christian faith: the definition of Christ as Logos. If Christ is the Logos, the truth, then man must correspond to Him with his own logos; that is, with his reason".
"From this we can understand that, by its very nature, the Christian faith had to generate theology. It had to ask itself about the rationality of the faith. ... Thus, although the fundamental bond between Logos, truth and faith, has always been clear in Christianity, the concrete form of that bond has produced and continues to produce new questions. ... St. Bonaventure ... spoke of a dual use of reason: a use irreconcilable with the nature of the faith, and another which belongs to the nature of the faith".
For St. Bonaventure there was a "despotism of reason, when it becomes supreme judge of all things. This use of reason is certainly impossible in the context of the faith" because it seeks to submit God "to a process of experimental trial", said the Pope. In our own time, he went on, "empirical reason appears as the only declaredly scientific form of rationality. ... It has led to great achievements, and no-one would seriously wish to deny that it is just and necessary as a way to understand nature and the laws of nature. Nonetheless there is a limit to such a use of reason. God is not an object of human experimentation. He is Subject and shows Himself only in the relationship between one person and another".
"In this context, St. Bonaventure refers to another use of reason: in the 'personal' sphere, in the great questions raised by the fact of being human. Love wants a better knowledge of the beloved. Love, true love, does not make us blind but causes us to see and part of this is thirst for knowledge, thirst for a true knowledge of the other. For this reason the Fathers of the Church found the precursors of Christianity (apart from in the world of the revelation to Israel) not in the area of customary religion, ... but in the 'philosophers', in people who thirsted for truth and who were thus on the path towards God. When this use of reason is lacking, then the great questions of humanity fall outside the field of reason and are abandoned to irrationality. This is why authentic theology is so important. Correct faith conducts reason to open itself to the divine so that, guided by love for truth, it can gain a closer knowledge of God".
VATICAN CITY, 30 JUN 2011 (VIS) - At midday today, the Pope received the forty metropolitan archbishops upon whom he imposed the pallium yesterday, Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, Apostles. The archbishops were accompanied by members of their families.
The Holy Father addressed the archbishops (who come from twenty-five different countries) in various languages, highlighting how, "the pallium reminds you of your specific responsibility towards your suffragan Churches and your special bond of unity with the See of Peter".
VATICAN CITY, 30 JUN 2011 (VIS) - Made public today was a Message from the Holy Father addressed to Giovanni Maria Vian, director of the "Osservatore Romano" newspaper, marking that publication's 150th anniversary. Its first edition appeared on 1 July 1861.
After reviewing the most significant moments in the history of the daily, traditionally known as "the Pope's newspaper", Benedict XVI writes that "over this century and a half the 'Osservatore Roman' has, above all, testified to the service of truth and Catholic communion by the See of Peter's Successor".
"Over this period - often marked by a lack of points of reference, by the removal of God from the horizon of many societies, even traditionally Christian societies - the Holy See's daily newspaper has stood out as a 'newspaper of ideas', as a source not just of information but of formation. Now it must remain faithful to the role it has played over this century and a half", the Pope writes, "attentive also the Christian East, to the irreversible ecumenical commitment of the various Churches and ecclesial communities, to the constant search for friendship and collaboration with Judaism and other religions, to the cultural debate, to the voice of women, and to bioethical questions which are so decisively important for everyone".
VATICAN CITY, 30 JUN 2011 (VIS) - The Holy Father:
- Appointed Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz of Minsk-Mohilev, Belarus, also as apostolic administrator "ad nutum Sanctae Sedis" of the diocese of Pinsk (area 72,700, population 3,146,000, Catholics 50,620, priests 47, religious 228), Belarus.
- Accepted the resignation from the pastoral care of the diocese of Santa Rosa,U.S.A., presented by Bishop Daniel F. Walsh, in accordance with canon 401 para. 2 of the Code of Canon Law. He is succeeded by Coadjutor Bishop Robert F. Vasa.
- Appointed Fr. John Sherrington of the clergy of the diocese of Nottingham, England, pastor of the parish of the Good Shepherd at Arnold, as auxiliary of the archdiocese of Westminster (area 3,634, population 4,726,206, Catholics 476,647, priests 629, permanent deacons 10, religious 1,465), England. The bishop-elect was born in Leicester, England in 1958 and ordained a priest in 1989.

Surely you only need six sliced pieces of tomato if you are making six parcels, as instructed. Only one piece in a parcel. Other than that looks great.
It's arduous to seek out educated folks on this subject, however you sound like you realize what you're talking about! Thanks free online casino slots
Another lovely recipe idea, thank you. 30 minute low carb meals

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are ready for Thursday's friendly against Real Madrid, but admit that the friendly could not have come at a more difficult time for the club.
In the middle of their league schedule—with their third game in ten days—and with CONCACAF Champions League dates on the horizon, the Galaxy will host the Spanish giants while simultaneously preparing for a vital league game against the Seattle Sounders on Sunday. Although each Galaxy player admitted that the friendlies serve a valuable purpose for the club, when asked about the timing of the friendly, forward Robbie Keane provided an honest response.
"Terrible. That's being totally honest with you," said Keane. "We have a game on Sunday, which is obviously more important than [Thursday's] game. The timing in these situations are never great because we have games on the weekend so the only time that we can fit them in during the week.
"It's a friendly game, this game is probably more for Real Madrid then us to be honest with you. It's for them for the preseason," Keane added later. "We're not going to win the championship by beating Real Madrid tomorrow. For us, it's a great honor and great privilege against a massive club and great players, but like I said our bread and butter is Sunday against teams that we can do something, which is Seattle. If we get three points, it pushes further up the table."
However, despite the difficult scheduling, Keane told reporters that he and the rest of his Galaxy teammates are not planning to just roll over for Real Madrid.
"Of course, every player wants to win regardless of when you're playing," said Keane. "Listen, we're not going into tomorrow's game thinking that we're going to do Real Madrid a favor and just let them pass the ball around and get their fitness out in preparation for their season. The players that haven't been playing a lot of minutes, it'll be good for them. Listen, every game that we want to play, we want to win."
While Keane admitted that the timing of the friendly is difficult for the Galaxy, he is confident that head coach Bruce Arena will regulate minutes to ensure that players do not overspend themselves with the important match against Seattle looming.
"It'll be one of those things that I don't think anybody will be playing 90 minutes so a lot of players will play 45 minutes," said Keane. "So I'm sure that it won't be too bad."

"You are the smartest person I know." The girl seemed serious in her praise, but I couldn't help but doubt her accuracy - after all, I was wedged in the middle of a crowd of 45,000 other people, waiting to throw tomatoes around for an hour, and she was talking about the fact that I'd brought a croissant with me.
We hadn't planned to go to La Tomatina. We had Eurail passes and wanted to visit Berlin, Scandinavia and Spain, and the easiest way to fit them all in was to catch a budget flight from Norway to Spain. Ryanair had recently started an Oslo-Valencia service, so we added Valencia to our otherwise sparse itinerary of Madrid and Barcelona.
We didn't realise we'd be on the scene of the greatest tomato fight on earth until a friend asked us if we'd be in Valencia for La Tomatina. And right up until the day before we weren't sure if we were going to go. But, we decided, we couldn't be there and NOT go. So we went.
We got up at 6am, a bit of a mission after a late one the night before. Catching the metro to the train station was easy, but the crowds waiting at the bottom of the steps of the train station were a precursor to the main event. We managed to get on the next train though, and were even sitting down for the 50-minute trip to Buñol.
Everyone poured off the train and down the long road to the square. Thousands of people were already in the streets when we arrived at 8.45, but we knew where we wanted to go and squirmed our way through the densely packed bodies until we could see the ham.
"Ham up a greasy pole" is one of the traditions of La Tomatina, which is held on the last Wednesday of August every year. Participants try to climb a greasy pole to slap the ham at the top. From our position, we had a good view of the crazy tourists mostly sliding down the pole, but occasionally reaching great heights. It gave us something to do for the two hours we had to wait until the tomatoes arrived.
The crowd around us was excitable - any advance up the pole was met with a cheer, as was the appearance of a local on a balcony with a bucket of water. Nearby, a group of locals were spraying the crowd with hoses, so there was a constant background cheer.
Things were being thrown around well before the tomatoes arrived - capless bottles and cups (empty or otherwise) arced through the air and onto the heads of the defenceless people below. I was hit variously by a lime, a bottle, a flip flop, and a t-shirt - and I think I was lucky.
Since we were wearing watches, we were the official timekeepers of our square metre of space. "One minute to go," I said, just as a horn sounded and a cheer went up throughout the square. A minute later, a truck rounded the corner and the first tomato flew through the air in our direction. The crowd pushed up into the walls of the square to let the truck past, and was rewarded with a barrage of tomatoes. People scraped the tomato off their hair and threw it again, but there wasn't time to really get into the fight, as the next truck was already coming around the corner.
I closed my eyes behind my sunglasses as the volunteers on each of the five trucks threw tomato after tomato into the throng. After the last truck had passed, people spread out into the square and began fighting in earnest. The street was 15cm deep in tomato juice, it was easy to scoop up a handful and throw it at the nearest person. I found an empty cup and filled it for greater volume - although it was in great demand and I almost lost it two or three times. One guy did manage to empty it over my head - the juice seeped through my closed eyelids and into my eyes.
It was awesome. We were covered in tomato and more was landing on our heads at every moment. Slowly, the momentum started to go out of the fight and we started moving towards the hoses, which drenched us (and our electronics) in a matter of seconds. Further back along the road, the crowd was even more densely packed and people were trying to move in all directions, despite calls of "you can't go this way" and "no hay salida". We were stuck, and the people around us weren't having a very good time. "Did you even throw one tomato?" a girl asked me as we were pressed into a wall by the crowd. "Yes," I replied. "You're lucky," she said "I've just been doing this the whole time."
The horn sounded and gradually the crowd started to thin as people headed back to the train station. We walked back slowly, stopping occasionally to be hosed off by a friendly local. We were turned away at the train station - apparently they don't like people covered in tomato on the train - and stood in line for one of the outdoor showers a few metres away. It wasn't very effective, but I passed muster and was allowed on the train, where we even found seats once again.
We had a great time, and knowing where to go had helped us be in the thick of the fight. Thousands of other people had gone but not even touched a tomato - they'd got to stand in a crowd for a couple of hours and that was it. Even people who'd gone on organised tours, thinking that would ensure them a slice of the action, missed out.
La Tomatina was an awesome experience, but if you're thinking about going be smart about it - and that doesn't just mean bringing a croissant.

Plan Your Visit
At the New-York Historical Society, we believe that knowing where we came from helps us understand who are are now. That goes for kids too, which is why we created the DiMenna Children's History Museum, the first-ever museum bringing American history to life through the eyes of children!
Please check the visit page for Museum hours and admission fees and check the calendar for upcoming gallery closings and/or early Museum/Library closures.
The New-York Historical Society
|Click here for directions and parking information.
Visiting the Museum with Your Family
Make sure your visit to the DiMenna Children's History Museum is the best it can be! Here are some tips of planning and suggestions for activities during your visit.
The museum has a huge collection of artworks, historical objects, and documents. In addition, there is a library, digital interactives, an 18-minute long film on the history of New York City, and a sit-down restaurant. There is a lot to choose from! Talk to your children before you visit to decide the galleries and activities that best fit all of your interests and needs.
The DiMenna Children's History Museum is in the lower level of the New-York Historical Society. Most families can explore the children's museum in one visit.
In the DiMenna Children's History Museum there are:
- Bathrooms with changing tables
- Healthy snack vending machine
- Areas to sit and rest, interactive games to play, and books to read
- Education staff on hand to answer questions and provide direction
- Information and brochure rack with program descriptions
- Scavenger hunts for children under 6, older than 6, in English and in Spanish
Focus your visit around a theme, such as "people of New York' (what they wore, how they spent their days) or "streets of New York" or "New York now and then." For very young children, playing "I Spy" or searching for colors or shapes will keep them looking closely.
Questions to keep the conversation going:
- Ask compare and contrast questions (How was this person's life similar to or different from the last person we saw? How were their lives different?)
- Choose an object and try guess how it was used. Do you have something similar in your home?
- "I wonder…" questions can prompt further research at home. Encourage your children to identify what else they want to know.

We'd love to see photos from your visit! Tag them with #nyhistorykids

Our crisp whites offer lovely refreshing acidity and a nice citrus punch; these wines will revive you and make you feel like you're enjoying fresh fruit in an orchard in the middle of July. Think about of the last time you were out somewhere in the heat of the summer; one of those days when the pavement was melting, the paint was peeling off buildings and all you could think about was how badly you wanted something to quench your thirst. When you stumbled onto a lemonade stand and took that first sip, you were cured.
We can't say our wines will cure dehydration but they are a great option while you're enjoying patio weather.
You'll find varietals like Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Riesling and Vinho Verde and more!
Talking about mellow wine is like talking about a classic film star. She's a lady with international acclaim and classic appeal. Mellow wines don't jump up and down screaming for attention; instead they prefer to lure you in with their quiet charm and feminine wiles. Swirling a nice Viognier or Pinot Gris is all about soft, intricate and attractive flavours that might make you think about your favourite perfume, stepping into a flower shop or leaving a patisserie where they've just taken almond pastries out of the oven. This is Sophia Loren in a glass.
If you enjoy varietals like Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer or Chenin Blanc you'll love this style!
Lavish and luxurious wines with all the razzle-dazzle. Think about the things in life that make you feel like you're living large. Imagine yourself wearing layers of pearl necklaces, leading a ticker tape parade, eating popcorn laced with truffle oil and lounging on the king bed of the Ritz Carlton penthouse all at the same time. Lush wines are what we drink when we're feeling on top of the world and when we want to celebrate life. This is 4th of July fireworks and the clock striking midnight on New Year's Eve all rolled into one beautiful gold package. Bottoms up!
Varietals like Chardonnay, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier are found here.
Elegant reds ask you to dig a bit deeper. Some people enjoy them for the romantic ideas they conjure while others enjoy the subtle nuances that each bottle possesses. We can't think of a better way to describe elegant reds than talking about Coco Chanel. Think about No. 5, the little black dress or the most importantly the iconic Chanel suit, a true couture item that is well lined, carefully crafted and something that will always be in vogue. An elegant wine is like a nice stroll along the promenade in the seaside town of Biarritz or a day at the ballet in red maillot.
Here you'll find Pinot Noirs, Gamays, Chiantis and more!
Supple and velvety, smooth reds are a real crowd pleaser; something that everyone loves. Like a popular jazz standard, the best way to sum up these wines is to think about hearing Miles Davis on vinyl. Everyone has heard those tunes and when the horns come in on the track you can't help but connect over the sheer universal joy in hearing something so incredibly smooth and pleasing to the senses. Miles Davis was one cool dude and that's how we feel about the wines in this section. You'll feel like you're slipping on a new pair of driving gloves every time you pour yourself one.
Varietals such as Grenache, Merlot and mouth-watering blends can be found here.
Full and flavourful with an intense fruit core, these reds are the talk of the town. Bold wines have an intensity about them that not only commands your presence but also asks you to stay a while. Pretend for a minute that Clint Eastwood has just walked into a bar, stared at you for a long hard second and proceeded to put out a cigar out on his forearm before challenging you to an arm wrestle. You're heart might skip a beat but you'll be happy that you tried it. That arm wrestle might be one of the best things you ever do in your life. That's how we describe a bold wine.
Food friendly varietals like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel are right at home here.
Call us crazy but the sound of a cork being popped just makes everything better. Headaches dull, clouds seem to part and even the sound of crying children can be drowned out by the wonderful thought that you'll soon have a stem in hand and an effervescent treat to tickle the end of your nose. A glass of bubbly just spells a plain good time. It might be a celebratory drink with friends, an excuse to get all gussied up for a fabulous night out or it might just be a date with the couch to watch Sex and the City re-runs solo.
Here you'll find everything from Champagne to Cava, Prosecco, Lambrusco and everything in between!
What are you going to find in this section? You're going to find late harvest nectar, ice wines, delectably sweet Rieslings and 5 puttonyos worth of sweetness. And why are you going to love these wines? The grape juice that you'll find in our Rich section took a lot of extra TLC to make the transition from vine to glass and can be used to make some of the most magnificent food and wine pairings known to man. We just have 3 words for you: Oysters and Sauternes.
This style houses dessert wines like Sauternes, Ice Wine and Tokaji.
When you think of simple and uncomplicated you can't help but think of a guy in his college freshmen year. The beers that we've categorized as Clean are straightforward and unassuming with bright flavours and not too much complexity. You'll enjoy these beers more than a keg stand and find them to be about as fresh as a 19 year-old guy at an all girl frat party. Big time!
Light and easy, simple Lagers, Pilsners & Blonde Ales.
Life Coaches and self-help books will tell you that balance is the key to a happy life. That may true but when we're talking about a balanced style of beer we're talking about the merits of a good pale ale with well integrated hop and malt flavours. Balanced beers won't help you understand the deeper meaning of life but they're still worth sampling for their easy-drinking quality. Take that Deepak Chopra!
Brews such as Brown Ales, Red Ales, Cream Ales, Black Lagers & Dunkels.
There is fruity like the Village People and there is fruity like wonderfully citrus kissed Hefeweizen, warm kirsch Belgians and bubbly orchard fruit ciders. While there is no denying the fun of disco and flamboyant cowboys, our Fruity section will give you options to keep you singing and dancing all year long. This is an amiable selection to accompany garden time, dinner parties and of course they pair wonderfully with dessert.
If you're after a Cider, Radler or any fruit infused brew, you'll find it here alongside Wheat beers.
Here's a short list of things that are truly intense: squirrel suit jumping, big wave surfing and the insane ramblings of Gary Busey. While our Intense selection of beers could be described as big and loud, they certainly won't lead to death on impact, shark attacks or being verbally abused on Celebrity Apprentice. You'll love the IPAs and scrumptious Trapist ales. Gary agrees.
Some like it hopped! Here you'll find IPAs, DIPAs, Trappist brews, Sours & Barleywines.
Powerful, sturdy and strapping are all great words to describe the Robust section. Everything you find here possesses strong brawny flavours that leave a lasting impression. Just think back to Arnold Schwarzenegger's version of Conan the Barbarian; despite the horrifically bad acting that comes with those 80s classics we just can't help but love the brute force and thick accent. Conan would call you an infidel for drinking anything else.
Home to heartier brews like Stouts and Porters & some Barrel Aged offerings.

It's undeniable, Rosé is in vogue. It's enjoying a renaissance following the White Zinfandel craze that swept North America in the 70's. Today, Rosé is the queen bee. Rosé is your ever fashionable friend. It's the timeless accessory you can turn to in any season. In the spring it's like wearing peeptoe shoes on a warm day. In the summer, a breezy dress. In the fall it's the perfect boots and in the winter, a cozy knit scarf.
Rosés are the product of a myriad of varietals, some of the most common are: Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Cinsault.

Earlier today Children's BBC announced the three winners of a Doctor Who themed viewer competition to design three sonic tools for Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint and Strax - aka The Paternoster Gang - to use in an upcoming episode of Doctor Who. And the winning designs are actually pretty amazing!
Announced back in October, the latest in a long line of collaborations between Blue Peter and the Doctor Who production team saw over three thousand entries submitted from viewers between the ages of six and 15, which were finally whittled down to three winning designs - one for each member of the Paternoster Gang - chosen by a panel of judges including Steven Moffat and Doctor Who's current production designer, Michael Pickwoad.
Here's the first, a Sonic Hat Pin for Madame Vastra, designed by 7-year-old Amber of Kent:
Much love for the Dinosaur feather - evocative of Vastra's Silurian heritage? - as well as the fact that this stylish accessory is not only at home in one of the Great Detective's many fabulous pieces of Victorian headgear, but it also doubles as a remote control for her carriage, and as a Sonic Sword! Fancy stuff.
Next up is a design from 13-year-old Connor, from Somerset, who designed this rather intricate Sonic Gauntlet for Jenny:
Look at this bit of Steampunk goodness! There's a lockpick, befitting Jenny's reputation as the sneakiest of the group, a radiation detector, and a receiver dish thrown in for good measure. And of course, lots of cogs. Can't have a bit of steampunk without cogs!
Finally is a tool for Strax by 11-year-old Arthur from Kent, and quite possibly my favourite: A Sonic Lorgnette.
What kind of 11 year old knows what a Lorgnette is!? The best kind.
Strax's Lorgnette - that's a pair of spectacles with a handle, to us uneducated non-11-year-olds - doubles up as a medical scanner, harkening back to his time as a field medic in the Sontaran army. Not only is it a cool bit of tech, but there's also the hilarity of someone as clumsily bulky as Strax wielding a very dainty pair of spectacles about, which already sounds great.
The winners will now get the chance to see their designs replicated by Doctor Who's design team in Cardiff for an episode of Peter Capaldi's first series as The Doctor next year, as well as a trip down to Roath Lock to see their devices being used in filming.
