Despite some official disapproval from the City Council, the owner of the London Rippers (independent; Frontier League) says he has no plans to change the controversial team name.
It's fair to say there was a little disturbance in the Canadian community over the team name, which associates one of history's most notorious mass murderers with a baseball team playing at one of North America's oldest playing fields at Labatt Park. That's really not the sort of image city officials want to portray, but the disapproval is not deterring owner/GM/manager David Martin from keeping the menacing moniker. From the London Free Press:
"We have a responsibility, obviously, to put a good product on the field here," he said. "I know there was a little controversy about the name, but our goal was to jump-start (pro) baseball here and I think we did that. I think everyone knows professional baseball is back in London.
"As an organization, we're past that now," he added of the nickname brouhaha. "I know we have a lot of people here to win over, and it's going to start with the guys between the lines (his players). Hopefully they'll be good ambassadors for us.
"We've done everything we said we were going to do. The mayor said London was open for business and we've invested in London. We brought a $1-million franchise, we've invested in tourism, we've put butts in hotels and spent a lot of money in town, Furthermore, we've created jobs."
Of course, the city does have some level of recourse: it could choose not to renew the team's lease.
The team's first game is on the road this Friday at Southern Illinois; the first game at Labatt Park is set for May 25.

I really hope Pullin wins. I spoke with both Pullin and Dickie. Dickie is one of the most unimaginative people I have ever spoken to. I asked him simple questions like what would you do differently and he had no response. He supported the bond election. He wants to turn the "to be" renovated courthouse over to the historical society and build a new courthouse. He says he can do nothing for the roads. I asked him about what great thing he has done as justice of peace. He said he implemented a credit card system to more easily collect money. If you look up bureaucrat in the dictionary, I think a picture of Dickie would be there. I spoke more with him and I left with a sick feeling in my stomach. He has no skills other than people know who he is around the county and he has helped his friends. He is way too focus on law enforcement versus financial management of the county. I thought he should have run as a democrat. Nonetheless, that is what I got from my personal conversation with me. He seemed like a nice man, but I want a competent man who focuses on the big picture and not penny ante stuff.

Food for thought
When it comes to pace, there's nothing slow about Cat Gazzoli, despite being CEO of Slow Food UK. Typically, she's up at 6am organising her kitchen from the previous evening's cooking. At 7am she heads to Yotopia, the yoga studio opposite her Long Acre flat, for an intensive session. And then she'll make for the Slow Food office, half a minute's walk from her home, in the historically foodie Neal's Yard, to liaise with her team about the day's events.
The Slow Food philosophy means taking the time to cook, eat well, and think about the story on your plate and begin to make informed decisions as a consumer
The short trip between home and office usually sees Cat teetering precariously on high heels, laden with leftovers to share with colleagues—her way of thanking the many volunteers who help in the office. Today, as I arrive breathlessly at her fifth floor apartment, the high heels are discarded and I'm warmly ushered in.
I sit down at her large wooden kitchen table, but she can't resist unpacking some newly arrived Livio Felluga wines from her husband's native Friuli region in Italy. Cookery books galore adorn her shelves and the surfaces are covered with a bewildering array of appliances. The kitchen itself has a rustic feel, with a traditional gas cooker of industrial proportions made to Cat's specifications and sporting no fewer than four compartments. The wooden floors throughout her home are covered by warm-coloured rugs, and trinkets from her global travels reflect her international lifestyle and upbringing.
"I work like my dad, who was an auditor for the UN and whom I learned my work ethic from," she laughs at my shocked reaction to her daily to do list. "The joke in the office is that I'm always telling my team to go off to Inner Space in Covent Garden so they can learn to meditate and take time for themselves. I need to practice what I preach!"
To "make time" as she puts it, she got up especially early to prepare a cake for me.
"I believe deeply in the principles of the Slow Food movement, around healthy eating and taking time to cook properly," she continues, "but when you're running a non-profit, there's always so much to do and never enough capacity to do it. I love to work and get a lot of pleasure from knowing I'm taking the organisation to the next level."
Food, she says, has always been her passion. "My time at the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation, based in Rome, made me feel so strongly about food security and biodiversity. We're faced with an obesity crisis on the one hand and starvation on the other. Our global food system is in disarray. That's why we should care."
The Slow Food movement was founded some 20 years ago in a small town in northern Italy by Italian journalist Carlo Petrini. The initial idea was to support and defend good food, the enjoyment of eating and a slow pace of life. "In a nutshell," explains Cat, "it promotes the antithesis of fast food and fast life and what the consequences are. By that I mean junk food on tap and the consumption of too many processed foods which have very little nutritional value. So the Slow Food philosophy means taking the time to cook, eat well, and think about the story on your plate and begin to make informed decisions as a consumer. But all of that harks back to the bigger issues of learning how to make good nutritional choices so we can begin combatting things such as the obesity crisis afflicting our society. At Slow Food, the ethos translates into what we hope is a game changer on a bigger scale."
Slow Food now boasts groups in 150 countries worldwide and its message has grown to include sustainability and environmental issues. Everything to do with the movement is driven from a grassroots level, with local volunteer groups promoting its values. "It's the little steps which are important and which constitute the basis of the Slow Food ethos," says Cat. "The system of production and distribution needs to be modified and return to more traditional methods which give the producer and consumer a better deal. We want communities to connect through food. Many of our groups are doing just that with their local activities around Britain."
Thousands of volunteers around the world have set up Slow Food groups so they can share their passion for good food and showcase their local produce. They get together and organise taste workshops, farm visits, social meals, markets, festivals, educational projects and more. Recently Cat made her own contribution to the movement in the form of a Slow Food wedding in the Friuli region of Italy.
"My in-laws thought I was particularly challenging on the sourcing front," she laughs, "but I wanted to drive this value that it's part of what you should do in life—every bride should aspire to that. I won't lie, it took more effort. It took ages to find a chef who understood what I was trying to achieve. My chef had to really understand what it means to work with local producers—sometimes environmental factors affect the produce and so a chef has to be flexible. It's all about respect and friendship. Ultimately, I wanted all the money we spent to go back into the community."
In preparation for her big day, Cat spent time traipsing up mountains to investigate what was on offer in the region. Not in heels, she assures me. "I found some beautiful things. A lot of the producers are involved in initiatives with local schoolchildren because they don't want to lose the traditional way of doing things. Sometimes the livelihoods of whole villages revolve around food production—prosciutto from the village of San Daniele, and formaggio frant, the intense typical cheese from 'malgas' in the mountains, help to sustain the whole community."
She took time getting to know the families and asking lots of questions so she could better understand the craftsmanship behind the products. "It was so worth the effort. The taste was amazing. The guests loved it and I even managed to introduce some of the locals to specialities from their region they'd never tasted before," she enthuses. "This was my way of getting to know my husband's family better and so the guests could understand who I am and what my philosophy on life is. We even printed the story of the products on the back of the menu. Eating becomes a different experience when you understand the story behind the food on your plate."
Most of the food at Cat's wedding is on Slow Food's International Ark of Taste. The Ark of Taste programme aims at raising awareness of 'endangered' foods—locally produced quality foods which could ultimately be lost unless positive steps are taken to preserve them. To qualify, the products have to fulfil certain criteria—they have to be of outstanding taste, at risk biologically or as culinary traditions, be sustainably produced and in only limited quantities. Slow Food now has a list of over 1,000 products from more than 60 countries and is still counting.
"Sometimes it really is a case of 'eat it or lose it'," explains Cat. "My favourite local flavour saver is Randolph Hodgson, the man behind Neal's Yard Dairy. He specialises in regional British heritage cheeses that are really high quality and totally delicious." Randolph is on Slow Food UK's National Ark Commission and is one of those who gets to enjoy Cat's cooking, being conveniently located within earshot of the cheese shop.
And to help spread the word and maintain the foods, the UK Slow Food Chef Alliance plays an important role in bringing producers and chefs together to promote unique and seasonal ingredients. The founding chef and spokesperson of the Alliance is Irish-born Richard Corrigan of Corrigan's in Mayfair and Bentley's on Swallow Street. "Richard's perfect for this role," says Cat. "He totally espouses our ethos and believes in using seasonal produce in his recipes. He's fantastic at promoting small artisan producers in every possible way. I feel very privileged to have Richard's support."
When Cat rushed into Richard's restaurant on a particularly busy day of back to back meetings with various supporters, she was in panic mode as she'd failed to prepare a dessert for her evening guests. She asked him for some pastry to make one, but also to make a quiche. "Richard rustled up what he could spare before that evening's service," she giggles, "but I stupidly mixed the pastry up and made the quiche with the sweet pastry and the dessert with the salty one. No one said a word at dinner that night which was incredibly polite as nothing really tasted as it should have!"
Cat's career at the United Nations, where she worked on sustainability and development projects naturally led her to launch Slow Food UK three years ago. At the time, she and her board were adamant they should have a tangible impact in Britain, so they decided to focus on food education as the main long-term goal. The resulting projects include the Slow Food Baby, Slow Food Kids and Slow Food on Campus educational programmes. They're run in partnership with major charities such as the National Childbirth Trust for the baby project and the National Union of Students for the campus project.
"The baby version is about 'happy eating' and is an interactive workshop for parents and babies, where parents come and talk with our trainers about any issues they have. We handle their concerns and help them with getting into good habits when embarking on their babies' first food adventure."
The kids programme, aimed at children between the ages of three and 10, is based on the five senses—using the eyes, ears, hands and nose to explore different types of food. One activity has little bags with different types of food the children have to try and identify. It's all a game and the kids enjoy that aspect particularly. "Again, depending on where we are in the country, we try to use local products like barley, or different types of grain, to vary the textures on offer."
Slow Food has rolled out this programme to include schools, community centres and food festivals and about 13,000 children have so far benefitted from it. Cat says reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. "It's been a huge learning curve for us too," she admits. "We had one child identify everything as a chip, but the child before was identifying passion fruit and star fruit! And that was in the same school. Others didn't even know the names of some of the basic fruits we offered, like bananas. We've learned not to assume too much."
The other new aspect of the kids programmes has been the introduction of cheese. The Italian cheese association of certified DOP producers, Grana Padano, has been supporting the project which has included taking a whole big wheel of cheese into the schools and festivals. "Making cheese is craftsmanship," says Cat. "That's why we chose Grana Padano as a partner. It's so nutritious and in Italy, athletes and children snack on it. I want to get the message across by offering the children and the parents a nibble from this huge big wheel we take around. That's gone really well. People are amazed at the size of the wheel, and its beauty, and that helps to educate people that cheese doesn't come in plastic packets from the supermarket—there's a whole ageing process involved."
As we wind down our chat, Cat brings out the cake she's prepared for me and insists I try a slice before I head off. As I drink my tea and bite into the cake, I do so with the Slow Food ethos in mind—enjoying every mouthful.

Planetary Resources has officially revealed its plans now, at an event in the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Couched in some hugely positive language, Peter Diamandis and other team members revealed that they're building a fleet of vehicles to achieve their goal—with the first launch planned for just 24 months (a hugely ambitious timeframe). The Arkyd 100 series will be Earth-orbit commercial space telescopes to begin the "prospecting" job of spotting near-Earth asteroids that are likely candidates. The Arkyd 200 series will extend this mission out of low orbit, and the Arkyd 300 series will survey asteroids up close. Their asteroid capturing plan seems manyfold, with some larger asteroids perhaps being strip-mined, other smaller ones captured in a shroud and sent back for processing.
The goal is to boost the economy of Earth by bringing the "solar system within the economic sphere of influence" of us down here, and also to protect Earth's precious resources.

Why do Americans love folks like John Stott, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and N.T. Wright so much? It's the accents, silly. And maybe a slight case of intellectual jealousy.
The affinity for Britain among American evangelicals has a long history. This attachment is difficult to disentangle from the colonial roots of many evangelical denominations in English and Scottish churches, as well as the transatlantic careers of the greatest American and British revivalists throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. But in the decades after the Civil War, American evangelicals began to diverge from their brethren across the pond. Thanks to social and theological dynamics peculiar to the United States, evangelicals here rebelled more sharply against modern intellectual trends, particularly the theory of evolution and the audacious decision of scholars to study the Bible as they would any other historical document. By the time of World War I, conservative American Protestantism was riven by fundamentalism—a movement of Christians who militantly opposed liberal trends in culture and thought, whom H.L. Mencken mocked as uncultured bumpkins who spent their time "denouncing the reading of books."
Ever since then, evangelicals have been struggling to overcome an intellectual inferiority complex, to convince the wider world that confidence in the Bible's authority is compatible with scholarly achievement. For decades evangelical colleges and seminaries have sent many of their most promising students to the United Kingdom to pursue advanced degrees—to work with particular scholars known for evangelical sympathies, or simply to receive that imprimatur of intellectual gravitas, the PhD from Cambridge or DPhil from Oxford. (New St. Andrews College, an upstart evangelical school in Idaho, has attempted to import that Oxbridge aura to America by requiring Latin and Greek and dressing students in black academic gowns for each week's disputatio.) A degree from a British university impresses Americans—and evangelicals long ago figured out that escaping to foreign universities allowed them to avoid many of the prejudices and difficult questions they sometimes encounter at American schools, where faculty tend to associate evangelicalism with wacky Young Earth science and a right-wing political agenda.
American evangelicals find intellectual and cultural validation in Oxbridge Christians like Tolkien, Lewis and Stott. If these Oxford and Cambridge-trained gentlemen with plummy accents believed that God spoke from a burning bush and Jesus truly rose from the grave, that is proof that one can be an intellectual, a sophisticate, and a Bible-believer too, no matter what the snide mainstream media says. Britain represents high culture and class—but which Britain? Many evangelicals seem to idealize a long lost arcadia where professor-clergymen praise theology as queen of the sciences and manly Livingstonian missionaries conquer Africa in the name of Christendom—rather than Britannia as she truly is, secularist, multi-cultural warts and all.
This is Anglophilia's dark side. When it drives evangelicals to study in a grey Oxford tower because there no professor will force them to read books that challenge their preexisting ideas, or when it fetishizes sherry and tweed jackets as a highbrow varnish on small-minded prejudices, it becomes mere pretense. "I tend to be suspicious of American evangelical Anglophilia," said Tyler Wigg-Stevenson, a Baptist from California who worked as Stott's research assistant in 2006 and now runs the Two Futures Project, a non-profit devoted to the abolition of nuclear weapons. "My fear is that it looks like cosmopolitanism, but it masks provincialism."

Welp. You asked for it. Please note, rampant opinions below. Your Mileage May Vary. Extremely long response below the cut.
I always loved "The Snow Queen" fairy tale growing up. I was born in December, loved winter, loved snow, loved the idea of female heroes, and am a pale and freckled girl who in her youth had light blonde hair —
these days, it's a shade of brown novelists like to describe as mousy, because fuck you novel-reading childhood for equating any medium brown hair with rodents. So yes, little ElfGrove identified with Gerda, typically depicted as blonde with freckles.
This is an entirely separate rant I should go about writing one day, but part of why I so love fairy tales and myths is that about 50% of the time it actually is the woman doing the ultimate rescuing. A lot of the females in fairy tales (and the males too) do the rescuing by being clever, loyal, and pure of heart — not brute strength. Despite popular belief — that seems to stem mostly from Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella — even the "Disney Princess" popularized fairy tales (although pop culture tends to gloss over this) the ladies are often the ones breaking the curses and defeating the villains (see: Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Mulan, Enchanted, The Princess and the Frog, Brave) or they play a large and active part in the defeat of the bad guys (see: Aladdin, Atlantis: The Lost Empire). Disney's other Princess~y Films don't exactly have weak-willed lady protagonists just waiting to be rescued either (see: The Black Cauldron, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Tarzan, Tangled). Not really the best ratio, but the balance of personality-less placeholder to strong character is better than they're usually given credit for. — But that's getting pretty tangential.
So Disney doing another princess/fairy tale themed film with a strong female in the leading role isn't unique in and of itself. What could potentially make Frozen unique in it's Disney class is that Gerda traditionally does not have a male companion. In fact, the majority of the prominent characters (and all of the clever characters) in "The Snow Queen" are female. Also, most interpretations of "The Snow Queen" make your primary antagonist, the Snow Queen herself, not evil. She is an inhuman creature and whether the broken mirror was a foul trick of an object given to her or just one of her own tools — it breaking is most often portrayed as an accident and she is trying to gather up the pieces of the magical artifact before they infect unwary humans. Kai/Kay is infected and there are very limited ways to remove the shards, most involve Kay wanting to be cleansed of them, and until they are gone Kay would actually be a danger to (or at least extremely unpleasant to be around) for fellow humans. Gerda's love and pure heart allows her to pass tests provided by the Snow Queen before she is allowed to see Kay and also causes the curing of Kay's affliction. — It has the potential to be unique amongst Disney Princess tales as the men in the story are there purely as asides or as the one in need of rescue and without making any female in the story a true villain. I would love to see that story on the big screen.
However, Disney's current "Frozen" plot synopsis is as follows:
A prophecy trapping a kingdom in eternal winter. Anna must team up with Kristoff, a daring mountain man, on the grandest of journeys to find the Snow Queen and put an end to the icy spell. Encountering Everest-like extremes, mystical creatures and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.
This doesn't seem to relate to the traditional "The Snow Queen" except in the vaguest sense. The leading male's name starts with the letter "K", there is a Snow Queen with power over winter, and the leading female must make an arduous journey. Past that? There's a pretty tremendous disconnect.
I'm worried that Kristoff is going to kind of steal the spotlight in what really ought to be a female-centric coming of age, hero's journey story. It takes away from the tale of her traveling alone and overcoming everything to have Kristoff helping her every step of the way. I'm concerned that The Old Sorceress/Witch, The Clever Princess, and The Robber Girl will be dropped from the story entirely. I always particularly loved those last two, and their loss or a gender swap would be a shame. It doesn't help that the supposed "Frozen" concept art I've seen of side character seems to primarily show male animals and a wizard instead of a witch.
Because, WTF is this shit? That section of the tale is called "The Flower Garden of/and the Woman Who Knew Magic".
I also worry that this change to the plot is going to make the Snow Queen evil. Because we have enough damn stories where a beautiful female in power must be corrupt/evil (see: Maleficent, the evil queens, stepsisters, etc). We really need Hollywood to stop sending that message home to impressionable young men and women. The message that powerful women —especially independent and beautiful powerful women— are most likely evil.
I'm really hoping they keep to the Snow Queen as not evil, but only that she has an inhuman culture and understanding of things, and to be honest, I hope Kristoff gets kidnapped to be our Dude In Distress before the halfway point of the film.
Of course, I can't be on Tumblr and not also make a mention of the fact that — while yes, "The Snow Queen" is traditionally a very Northern European-centric story — once again a Disney princess film is going with an (it looks like at least) an all white cast. The argument that the story is traditionally Slavic doesn't really hold water when it's already veered so far off the original tale and it's fantasy fer cripes sakes. You could set it anywhere with snow and/or completely ignore what the stereotyped ethnicities are for your target real world region to mirror in the movie. There have been Mongol and Inuit based re-tellings of this story with no harm done. *sigh*
They have announced some of the staff for "Frozen".
- Kristen Bell as Anna
- Idina Menzel as Elsa the Snow Queen
- Directed by Chris Buck (Tarzan, Surf's Up)
- Produced by Peter Del Vecho (Winnie the Pooh, The Princess and the Frog)
- Original songs by Broadway's Robert Lopez (The Book of Mormon, Avenue Q) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (In Transit, Winnie the Pooh (2011), a stage version of Finding Nemo)
I've gotta say, personal bias, I'm excited at the prospect of Menzel. I love her singing voice and I enjoyed her in "Enchanted". If we go through another Disney film which includes Menzel but does not take advantage of her singing voice, I will be full of over-dramatic fan tears.
I am a little concerned that one of the songwriters is coming from mostly parody/satire and dark humor work. If I want to watch a mockery of the fairy tale genre for being sincere and trying to teach life lessons, I'll pick up one of the Dreamworks' films. They've got that formula pretty well in hand. (Not that I particularly dislike Dreamworks, but if I want something that at least feigns to like the inspiration fairy tale material, they're not my first stop.)
The rumors bounce back and forth as to if we'll be seeing this in 2D or CG animation rages on, but that's not really a deciding factor for me.

Wednesday February 17, 2010
For Immediate Release:Majority CaucusLouisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/ 526-3622After working with local law enforcement officials and seeing firsthand the effects of a meth lab explosion in her district, Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch is sponsoring a resolution that asks state to do more to keep meth labs from operation.
"We have tried some restrictions but here Metro Louisville there has been a 63% increase in methamphetamine production from 2008-2009," says Welch. "It is time to do more to stop this hazard to our communities."
Welch's resolution calls upon the General Assembly to pass a law requiring a doctor's prescription for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine. These are the basic compounds that are used in the making of meth.
Earlier this month, a woman was severely injured after what Metro Police says was a meth lab explosion in Fairdale. Two children were also in the home at the time. A man was arrested in the case charged with having meth materials.
"We do not want to find more meth lab by using electronic tracking of pseudoephedrine; we want to significantly reduce our meth lab numbers by controlling pseudoephedrine," Sgt. Stan Salyards of the Narcotics Clandestine Lab Team. "The only way to do that is to require a doctor's prescription for it."
Kentucky had 716 methamphetamine labs in 2009, Louisville Metro had 146. Oregon scheduled pseudoephedrine (PSE) in 2006, their meth labs have went from the hundreds to 10 in 2009.
"It's time for all of to get serious about stopping this crime," says Welch. "Taking these compounds found in over the counter medicines off the shelf and placing behind the pharmacist's counter has not been effective. This resolution will ask Frankfort to take us to the next step."
The Resolution was given its first reading on January 28th. Welch and Salyards appeared before the Public Safety Committee to give testimony on Wednesday. The Committee will continue its review of the Resolution on March 3rd.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/220918Start by asking your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC). There's a list of local contacts at www.bplans.com/sb/. They usually have good contacts with local investors and they are generally knowledgeable and reasonably priced because they are sponsored by state, local, and federal governments.
I've been on the radio with Harold Lacy, who wrote a book on this you can buy at Amazon.com. The audio of some of his radio programs may still be available at www.jbsba.com. Basically what he says is start asking everybody you know not whether they would be interested -- because that's awkward -- but rather who they know who might be interested. Eventually you'll start to find some names.
Don't forget a web search, there are groups of Angel investors, but don't bother doing a mass mailing or anything because you won't get anywhere with people who don't already know the restaurant business or bar business. Check out what they do before they contact them.
And remember to see the whole thing from their point of view. You want them to spend money. Always keep at the top of your mind how they are going to make money.

Richard Linklater's decision to film his adaptation of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly in an animated style similar to his earlier film Waking Life exemplifies everything good about him as a filmmaker. By forcing viewers to constantly assess what and who they are looking at, Linklater is able to underscore the paranoid and Big Brother surveillance aspects of the story -- elements further enhanced when one recalls this film hit theaters around the time that surveillance tactics were a hotly contested political issue. Linklater does a fine job of opening up these topics for examination, and he even allows his audience to laugh at the same time. The drugged-out ramblings and misadventures of characters played by Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, and Rory Cochrane offer comic relief so humorous that it occasionally overwhelms the more serious aspects of the film. One gets the feeling that if Linklater ever wanted to have a giant box-office success he could make a great stoner comedy with the three of them. As funny and interesting as the entire film is, it falls short of entering the pantheon of great Linklater films mostly because the style of the film makes it hard to think of the characters in the film as real people. The audience will find it interesting when Keanu Reeves' undercover drug officer Bob Arctor slowly begins to lose himself in a haze of addiction, paranoia, and psychosis, but there is no sense of real human tragedy or loss. This lack of catharsis is underscored when, for the movie's end, Linklater appropriates Dick's personal note from the book where Dick dedicates it to a list of friends and acquaintances who have suffered from drug abuse. That simple list of names and afflictions carries more emotional weight than the film. Even if it is too cerebral by a hair, Linklater's film asks intelligent questions about the many ways drugs and drug policy affect society and individuals. By capturing the paranoia of that world, and presenting it in a style that creates a unique viewing experience, A Scanner Darkly stands as one of the very best Philip K. Dick adaptations.

Vatican Pressures Theology Journal to Weed out Dissenting Voices

Dissident Fr. Charles Curran, professor of theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, said the Vatican action "is the most serious attack possible on U.S. Catholic theology because Theological Studies is our most prestigious scholarly journal." Curran, whom the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declared in 1986 was not suitable to be a Catholic theologian because of his dissent from hierarchical moral teaching, noted that "once again" it is moral theology and sexual ethics that has become the Vatican's litmus of orthodoxy....read more

"A hero has stepped forward to demand that justice be done," Stephen Colbert said of Congressman Chaka Fattah on last night's "Colbert Report," on Comedy Central. "The people have spoken and Stephen Colbert won it fair and square. We insist on democracy in orbit," Fattah said last week about the recent contest held by NASA to name a new Space Station Node. Colbert asked his viewers to vote, they did so in droves, and the station is to be named Colbert.

"She's such a sweetheart and that is one of her best qualities," writes Sydia Bagley, of former Center City resident Lil' Kim. Bagley was incarcerated with the pint-size hip-hop princess at the Federal Detention Center (7th & Arch), where Kim spent 10 months on a perjury rap. We reported recently that Kimberly Jones, as Lil' Kim was known in prison, had given a shout-out to all her girls in the Federal Detention Center, on this season's premiere episode of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." "I want to shout Lil' Kim back out for the unconditional love she shows not only to me but to all the girls," writes Bagley, who is now housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn, for her part in an armed robbery. "We love you, Girl, and you know you got our votes," Bagley says.
Sixers star Andre Iguodala is at NBC studios in New York right now taping a bit for tonight's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." We're told the show called to secure Iguodala just this morning and that the segment involves an explanation of what "rejection" means, in basketball terms.
Jamie Foxx joined his boy Common on stage Friday at the Deck Nightclub (101 Taylor) in Essington where Foxx performed his single "Blame It (On the Alcohol)" for the crowd. Foxx hopped up from his seat in the VIP area where he caught much of the set from Common at the event by Wired 96.5 and Johnny Knockout Entertainment.
"We're so conservative," says Carnie Wilson before answering our question on the strangest place she and husband Rob Bonfiglio have ever made whoopee. "The bathroom, or the shower, or the closet," Wilson confessed.
Why would we ask such a thing? Because she's hosting the Game Show Network's reincarnation of "The Newlywed Game," at 6 p.m. weekdays starting April 6. The Wilson Phillips singer and daughter of Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson, once lived in Manayunk with musician Bonfiglio, formerly of Wanderlust, whom she's been married to for nine years. Now living in Los Angeles, Wilson is pregnant with their second daughter, who they'll name Luciana. Luciana is due in June. Wilson says they eat at Ristorante Pesto (1915 S. Broad) when they come to town to visit Bonfiglio's family.
"I've always loved game shows," said Wilson, who "had a blast" taping "The Newlywed Game."
Upper Darby's Jamie Kennedy will show viewers what his new girlfriend, Jennifer Love Hewitt, has become familiar with when the comic actor bares all in his new film "Finding Bliss."
The comedy, featuring Leelee Sobieski, Denise Richards and Kristen Johnson, premieres April 7 at the 14th Annual Gen Art Film Festival in New York.
Kennedy and Hewitt appear together in "Ghost Whisperer," and Kennedy says they're in love.
Kidd Chris says he'll launch an Internet radio show at KiddShow.com at the end of May.
Next week, the Web site relaunches with audio and links. Chris says the only way people will ever hear his show the way he wants them to is to run it online anyway. He was fired in May after a guest performed a racist song.
Speaking of Kidd Chris, 'YSP staffer Tommy Avallone, known as Rock Hard Killa on the show, premieres his new film, "Community College," which he wrote, directed and co-stars in, at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Trocadeo (1003 Arch). Comedian Rev. Bob Levy hosts the screening. Admission - $5 at the door - is only for those 18 and older. Levy has a cameo in the film about four friends who fear their favorite bar is about to close. Scotty Schwartz from "A Christmas Story," and "The Toy" appears in the film, as do Rich Cronin from LFO and VH1's "Mission: Man Band," and Michael Ray Bower, who played Donkey Lips on Nickelodeon's "Salute Your Shorts."

Soulful songbird Jill Scott gave a shout-out to her friend Mister Mann Frisby during an interview Tuesday on Steve Harvey's syndicated morning show, heard here on 105.3 (WDAS-FM).
Scott and fiance Lil' John Roberts, her Philly-raised drummer, are about to have their first baby, and Harvey asked if she was going to name the baby something odd, citing singers like Erykah Badu who have chosen unusual names for their children. Deciding to tease a friend who has an unusual name of his own, Scott told Harvey she was thinking about "Frisby, or maybe Mister, or maybe Mister Frisby."
Frisby, a former Daily News reporter now living in Los Angeles, says that he was awakened at 5:45 a.m. by an East Coast friend calling with the news and that he started getting texts from other friends seconds later.

Baltimore shocked us all in 2012, one way or another. For some it was the simple fact that somehow that team was fighting to stay in contention when nobody expected that they could. For others it was the astonishing realization that when it came to one run games, there was just nothing anyone could do to slow down the Orioles. The Fightin' Showalters kicked and clawed their way to a 93-69 record, good enough for 2nd in the AL East. Good enough for a Wild Card berth under baseball's new playoff format.
Baltimore entered their one game Wild Card matchup against the favored Texas Rangers and came out on top, only to lose the Division Series against their division rival New York Yankees. Baltimore showed some grit and some fight and that there's some talent emerging on that roster.
With the start of the 2013 Regular Season upon us, it seemed like the ideal time to check in with each of our team sites here at FanSided MLB and check out what our experts have to say on the upcoming season. From Birds Watcher, here's what Senior Editor Domenic Vadala had to say about the team's best and worst case scenarios, as well as what's most likely to happen.
Best Case Scenario
The Orioles get strong starting pitching out of their eventual rotation, while Adam Jones and Chris Davis both provide 30+ home runs once again as they did in 2012. This will streamline the lineup and allow for other guys to hit for both power and average which will net more runs and allow the O's to win more games by more than one run. This would put them in contention for a division crown.
Worst Case Scenario
The Orioles starting rotation struggles out of the gate, forcing the Birds to score runs en masse to stay in games. This would tax the best bullpen in baseball from 2012, making it much more ineffective. That, combined with injuries to several players, could doom the Orioles, although it's doubtful that they'd get to the point of winning 65-70 games annually as they did for so many years before.
Most Likely to Happen
I think it'll be tough for the Orioles to stay totally away from injuries or even pitching ineffectiveness, especially at the back end of the rotation. However, the O's have more depth in their minor leagues than most teams in the division, which will give them options with various players. I think the Birds will remain in contention for a playoff spot into September to say the very least.
Baltimore's finish to the 2012 season was a surprise to many, but there's little reason to believe it isn't a sign that the organization could be ready to compete once again. Between Jones, Nick Markakis, and Manny Machado there's potential for a great offensive core and the organization has a pair of supremely talented pitching prospects in Dylan Bundy and Kevin Gausman. While opposing teams in the AL East seem to be struggling, Baltimore's time could be now to put up a fighting chance.
Don't forget to keep up with Birds Watcher throughout the season for all of your Orioles news.

Just got dark now and the squawking has died down. The manic and psychotic blackbird is back. How long do blackbirds live? Last year he drove me mad by dive bombing and screeching at me all day long as i went to and fro from the studio. The cat runs in terror and he even started flying at us when we opened the bedroom curtains in the morning.

Here's a video from the Swedish Motorcycle Association that takes a different approach towards awareness regarding bikers. Starting from the question "are we invisible?" they've put together a scenario showing people acting as such. See it for yourself, but wait till the very end.
Very often, careless riders end up challenging different obstacles around them and in most cases the obstacles are the ones that win. This is also the case of this possibly drunk fellow riding a scooter around just so that he would look a bit more interesting on the camera until a handrail gets him. That's just crazy.
Alpinestars have today presented their Tech Air Race motorcycle suit, which was specifically designed and built to enhance the rider's survival chances in case of a crash. In other words, the leather suit has airbags.
The safety gear manufacturer somehow managed to integrate the system into the Electronic Airbag Protection Suit and have it controlled through a high-tech electronic brain and we hear the process was a long and complicated one, but the breakthrough was worth the while.
The suit constantly monitors the rider's movements and will only arm if the rider is moving and the engine is running. It offers five levels of programming and even works on electric bikes, so it seems Alpinestars thought at everything.
In the unhappy event of a crash, the safety system's response is crucial, so the electronic brain determines the imminence of a crash in about 8 milliseconds, the airbags fully inflate in 50 milliseconds and they stay like that for 5 seconds before starting to deflate, process which takes 25 seconds.
Once used, the system can be rearmed in less than 60 seconds using two separate cylinders with a cold charge of nitrogen. The extra protection system will increase the price of the standard suit with about $2,500 when it is expected to hit production in June 2011. Also, the system will be adapted on all kinds of riding gear, from racing to off-road.
It all sounds good in theory, but nothing compares to actually seeing the airbag system being deployed on a rider, so hit the jump for a video showing just that.
Apparently, the rider of this Yamaha R6 was riding on LA's Mulholland highway, also known as "the Snake," this past weekend when he crashed as a result of a highside and the bike immediately caught fire. First attempts to extinguish the fire were in vain, so the owner simply watched his bike burning until it remained only frame and engine. Now that's a sad moment for any biker out there. Let's just hope that his insurance covers that.
If history has taught us anything, it's that anything is possible, even if your time here on this planet is up.
You've probably heard of this piece of news by now and for what it's worth, it's still a little too hard to believe. If you haven't heard of it, then please, by all means, keep on reading.
David Morales Colon, a 22-year old Puerto Rican, was gunned down last week and, while we feel bad for the family he left behind, we can't help but be amazed on how Colon's family decided to send-off their beloved David.
Go to the funeral service for David and you're bound to get the shock of your life. Not only is there no casket, or urn for that matter, but as soon as you walk in the funeral home, you'll be greeted by the sight of David himself dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, jeans, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses. And, oh yeah, he's riding aHonda CBR600 F4 . The only thing is, David's actually dead.
If you think that is a little strange then you are absolutely right, but apparently the motorcycle was a gift to David from his uncle and his family delivered it personally to the funeral home.
Incidentally, the funeral home where David is "riding" is also the same funeral home that prepared Ángel Luis "Pedrito" Pantojas Medina, a man that was shot 11 times. This man made a very special request before passing; he requested that his wake be held in his own home while wearing his favorite clothes. That is not the strange part. He also wanted to attend the wake standing up. This feat was accomplished b ythe funeral home employees by tying the corpse at the waist, torso, and head. Eerie.
Anyway, check out the video of David after the jump.
When it comes to riding motorcycles, safety is always an issue of paramount importance. Unlike cars that have an enclosed body, motorcycles don't have that luxury so, in the event that you crash - or spill out of control - well, let's just say that you're on your own.
Helmet maker, Reevu, may finally have the technology to give bikers the helmet of the future thanks to the development of the MSX1, a revolutionary helmet that comes with a rearview mirror. Similar to how a rearview mirror in the car works, the MSX1 has a mirror located right above a rider's line of sight. It works as an adjustable tunnel mirror that has a little collapsed periscope on the back of the helmet that allows riders to see exactly what's happening behind them.
It may not go in the way of completely preventing motorcycle accidents from occurring - that would take complete abstinence - but it does go a long way in improving road awareness among riders out there on the streets.
Check out WebBikeWorld's review of the product after the jump.
The Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning has just released a motorcycle safety ad advising you to "ride safe so you can ride again." That is if you don't have a fairy godmother to take care of you.
This is the kind of motorcycle safety commercial that at seeing, anyone sane can react and that's why we happen to prefer it over the shocking ones we got used seeing.
As hard as it may be to believe, this guy is taking a ride on that freeway in the sky. Recently gunned down in his Puerto Rico native, 22-year-old David Morales Colón benefits of a very unusual wake on his Honda CBR600 F4 Repsol edition. Wearing casual clothing and sun glasses, the embalmed dead man looks like he's worming up for a ride on his bike.
The same funeral home that made this happen is also responsible for another young shooting victim that was displayed standing up during the wake a couple of years back. What next? See the video after the jump.
This Hildebrand & Wolfmüller is the world's first-ever patented motorcycle and it recently sold at auction for $131,200. Made in Germany, the motorrad is powered by a 1488cc four-stroke twin engine developing an impressive for the time 2.5 hp at 240rpm. Weighing around 132 pounds and reaching a top speed of approximately 31 mph, this was the time's only and best mechanical horse around. And it showed german ingenuity. For instance, the water needed for cooling the engine was held in the rear fender, while the transmission system is similar to that of a locomotive.
The vintage production motorcycle sit in an US barn for the past 70 years and after being auctioned off in England it now sees its way back to Germany for display. Hit the jump to see a restored 1896 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller buzz around.
It looks like the guys at Moto Tech in Miami sure know how to promote their services as we just came across one of their videos showing a hot blonde performing a dyno test on one of their Ducati superbikes. Obviously, she wasn't wearing much and we won't go as far as calling it a motorcycle expert (the video tries to induce she actually is) although we have to admit this is one of the few motorcycle babe videos in which the girl shows off some skills. Congrats for that!

A few years ago, during a summertime business trip to New York City, I was invited to attend a baseball game at the old Yankee Stadium. It was the first time I had visited this venerated sports venue. The weather was stifling hot and the game forgettable, but there was a certain charm to the stadium itself; after all, this was the "house that Babe built." Little did I know then that now, just a couple of years later, one of the highest-paid stars of that hot summer afternoon — Alex Rodriguez — would be embroiled in a scandal that would make Babe Ruth's notorious and well-known boozing and womanizing pale in comparison. I have never been — and probably never will be — a fan of the New York Yankees or of their many highly paid prima donnas. Moreover, it is easy to discount Rodriguez's problems given the circumstances of his lifestyle — multi-million-dollar salary and bonuses, openly dating an aging Madonna while still married, admitting having previously employed performance-enhancing drugs to boost his on-field statistics. Still, there is much that is unseemly and unethical, if not downright wrong, about the manner in which the government is pursuing "A-Rod" and other stars of the sporting world.
Having witnessed for many years and from a number of vantage points the exercise of the formidable power by and available to the government, I suppose it shouldn't really surprise me when instances of the abuse of that power manifest themselves.
But it does; particularly when the government employs underhanded means to gather evidence with which to "go after" a public figure like Rodriguez. In this instance, we now know that federal investigators in 2004 seized a lengthy list of baseball players who had submitted to a Major League Baseball test survey that was conducted under a guarantee the results would remain anonymous and not available for other purposes. Not wishing to let a contractual guarantee of anonymity between the players' union and MLB management interfere with the government's zeal to "clean up" baseball and punish those players stupid or arrogant enough to use drugs to boost their stats, the government has been fighting in federal appeals court to keep and use the questionably seized records in its investigations. Coincidentally, Rodriguez's name as being on the list was recently leaked to the media.
Performance-enhancing drugs, including anabolic steroids, clearly give the users an unfair advantage over those who rely only on their God-given and exercise-enhanced talents to excel. This is precisely why major league sports associations, including MLB, have outlawed the use of such drugs and made significant efforts — at least in recent years — to identify and discipline those who attempt to circumvent such prohibition.
This is how it should be — the organization that regulates and manages a sport decides what factors to allow and which to disallow, and then institutes procedures to discover and punish abuses.
The federal government, as usual, sees things differently. The feds take it on faith that policing what goes into the bodies of athletes trying to enhance their performance is the responsibility of the government in Washington, D.C. Based on this questionable presumption, federal and congressional investigators in recent years have delighted in pillorying sports celebrities notwithstanding the fact that the leagues themselves are addressing the problem.
It doesn't appear to matter one whit whether it is the Republican or Democratic Party that wields the levers of power. The authorities always are looking to push the envelope to grab and use just as much power as they are able, even if it means grabbing records intended to remain anonymous and that were created for legitimate and lawful purposes (to enable MLB to accurately gauge drug usage among its players).
The resources the government continues to devote to these multi-year investigations of steroid usage by athletes is especially disturbing when you consider the shape of the nation's economy, and the fact that this is due in part to what appears to have been major fraud on the part of many banking, mortgage and other financial investment big wigs.
Perhaps if the resources the feds insist on spending to satisfy their curiosity about how many overpaid professional sports figures have used performance-enhancing drugs were diverted to investigating and prosecuting the potentially massive fraud that has helped fuel the most serious economic problem our country has faced in decades, some legitimate and truly worthwhile prosecutions would result.
