Vatican fires priest after he comes out as gay ahead of bishops' meeting
Monsignor Kryztof Charamsa appeared at a news conference with his partner. In an interview he called the Church's stance on homosexuality "backwards."
Monsignor Kryztof Charamsa appeared at a news conference with his partner. In an interview he called the Church's stance on homosexuality "backwards."
On Wednesday, Davis and her legal team said that the meeting had been brief, and that the pope had thanked Davis for her courage and told her, "Stay strong."
The legal bill for the bankruptcy is already about $3.6 million. Now, the archdiocese wants a firm hired to represent sex abuse victims who might file claims against the church in the future.
The appearance by the 80-year-old Dalai Lama in Rochester followed his stay at the Mayo Clinic, where doctors had instructed him to rest.
The Vatican isn't denying the meeting took place. Davis, who has refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, says she met the pope at the Vatican embassy in Washington.
After seeing Pope Francis in Philadelphia over the weekend, religion professor Anthea Butler writes, "the Pope is taking his church from the culture wars into the streets."
American officials are losing the battle to stem the flow of ISIS recruits from Minnesota and other states to the Middle East, the House Homeland Security Committee concludes in a new report.
The Dalai Lama plans a private audience with members of Minnesota's Tibetan community on Wednesday in the same city where he has been receiving medical attention since last week.
The pontiff's six-day visit to the U.S. came to an end at Philadelphia International Airport, where he met Vice President Biden and delivered a brief farewell to the American cities that hosted him.
When it comes to global health and development, the pontiff made it plain as day: We are all to blame for earth's problems.
A high school soccer game between West Fargo and Fargo Shanley-Oak Grove was postponed last night for the observance of Eid al-Adha .
The Fiat has been the talk of the town, and everyone wants to get a peek. Theologians, however, say the little car packs a whole lot of meaning.
Among the few Americans granted a private audience with Pope Francis during his visit to the United States is Mary Jo Copeland, who has served the poor and needy in the Twin Cities for decades.
The speech had something for everyone. It had several lines that might have made members of both parties uncomfortable -- but mostly Republicans.
The Pope has lunch with the homeless, mentally ill, and addicted. Politicians didn't.
Congress members are also more religiously affiliated overall. "Maybe it's because we need the solid grounding and good guidance we get from above," one senator says.
The 15-year-old loves the sport, but boxing officials say international rules do not allow covering her legs and arms.
Sister Alice Zachmann, 89, has spent much of her life teaching school in Minnesota — and fighting for human rights in Guatemala. She'll be a witness Thursday to Pope Francis' historic speech.
When it comes to abortion, hunger, war, immigrants who drown, the sick and the environment, "it is wrong to look the other way or remain silent," Francis said.
Pope Francis' visit to Washington marks the 29th time a pope has sat down for a meeting with a president of the United States.

The Doctrine of "Determinism" — What Is It?
"Determinism" is a popular dogma — both in the skeptical community and in the religious environment. It has no support in either logic or scripture. Study this topic with us.
"Determinism" is a popular dogma — both in the skeptical community and in the religious environment. It has no support in either logic or scripture. Study this topic with us.
Those who teach that salvation is solely by faith, without further acts of obedience, have a difficult time reconciling Paul with himself. Study this matter with us.
Stephen was the first Christian martyr. His final recorded words were a prayer directed to his Savior. This narrative contains some rich truths.
When Christ died on the cross, did he literally bear the "guilt" of our sins, or did he merely take upon himself the penalty that was justly due us? This is an issue of supreme importance. Study it carefully.
Prior to his death in 1999, Ron Wyatt frequently made tabloid news with his sensational claims of astounding archaeological discoveries. But what is the real story behind such boasts — still made by some of his disciples?
The title of this article reflects the concern of millions of people. Since there is no experimental evidence to evaluate, the answer must come from the Holy Scriptures. This article explores that issue.
Have you ever heard or read a statement that made you wonder how it ever could have been conceived? For example Bill O'Reilly, Fox News guru, said on national television that "the Catholic Church invented marriage†(WorldNetDaily, 2/10/2010). How does anyone that obtuse deserve a national audience? But he is not alone. Consider a few more quotes that are "simply outrageous.â€
Your life on earth is a precious gift. Do not ignore its value; do not squander it in trivial pursuits; do not let it slip away and leave you unprepared. This very day you may wish to contemplate the question: What is your life?

Amazing hotel
Probably one of the best hotels we have stayed at.
It is on a bit of an industrial estate very easy to get to and not to far from Warner Brothers studios which was the reason for the visit. Very busy hotel. Facilities were good Starbucks inside with a nice sporty bar/restaurant very reasonably priced. Leisure facilites were very good ie hairdressers , spa and the pool is very good with coloured lighting to add a calming effect. Rooms very good bed very comfy we stayed in room 327.

Excellent Hotel! Especially when there are great B&B offers early bird menu excellent too!
Great value when on offer on late rooms, leaving the local mediocre & dearer Premier Inn in the shade.

Excellent hotel with excellent facilities
Stayed here before going to Harry Potter and had a fantastic stay, lively swimming pool Italian restaurant and bar
Would definitely stay again
Stayed in family room, good hotel for trip to Warner Brothers Studios
Not up to village standard
Like using village hotels and use local one weekly Room had not light switch covers on so reported to reception who were very happy to change room the second room had one bed side light switch cover missing but decided not to be a pain so went with that room.
Electric is potentially deadly thought these rooms should be checked before they are letters out to customers. The v/ bar was shabby as seating bar at far end wmas in disrepair but probably a noted issue. Finally I use my local village bar once or rwice a week and found quality and quantity very poor in comparison to that hotel I have friends and family as members so have good experience of the standards this experience will not see me use this village again and use other local hotels when visiting family again

Short but nice
Hubby and I needed a place for the night and booked the Village the night before.
We were pleased when we entered our room. Free Wifi was a blessing. The TV needs an upgrade though. The staff were most pleasant....needless to say, we'll be back!.

Amazing value for money
We stayed with two teenage girls who were able to yes the pool without needing an adult to go with them enabling us to relax in the bar.
We ate in the Italian restaurant which had plenty of choice and was good value for money. We had two rooms lovely and clean, free wifi, comfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent. For an overnight stay that cost just 69 pounds per room this was very good value for money, would not hesitate to use again and we are already planning a return trip.

Brilliant wkend get away to see the harry potter studios, the hotel is 18mins away and Watford is 15 mins away from the hotel, I would recommend the whole experience of the hotel and the days out to anybody
Urban yes it is so if your expecting demure DeVere then like us this won't be for you
Booked as close to a wedding we were attending and the other choice was a Premier Inn next to a busy roundabout.
Friendly staff comfortable rooms clean & tidy but lacks any soul or warmth. Downstairs just noise and frenetic.

The match will take place at the Bernabeu, but Freixa says Barca would have allowed the game to take place at theirs.
"If they had asked, we would have accepted," he told Cadena Cope. "I, at least, would have said yes.

1. Re: Shared Storage & Oracle ClusterwareP.Forstmann Apr 18, 2012 6:45 AM (in response to 569567)For production systems, shared storage must be shared at os level: typically this is done with external storage systems like SAN where LUNs are made available on each cluster node. For example if you use OFCS on Windows all related file systems need to be available in read write mode on all cluster nodes.
For demo systems, it it possible to use virtual machines for nodes and virtual disks for shared storage: you can find full installation examples on ORACLE-BASE with Windows and VirtualBox or VMWare: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/rac/articles-rac.php.

Learning as a child how to get along with others is the start. How you treat others and how they respond teach you how to behave for the best social interaction.....that's just the start.<quoted text>
Your response was built on a number of false premises and assumptions.
However, how do you account for the concept of right and wrong?
We learn about pain and pleasure as we go, our elders teach us the finer points sometimes but trial and error (personal experience) is what really counts.
I can read history of ALL nations, philosophy or novels and acquire more knowledge of good vs bad judgement than your outdated, conflicting and boring 'good' book.
You theists seem to think you invented the notion of morality....you didn't.

People Seem To Have Forgotten The World Trade Center (And Pentagon) Massacre. So The Obama Administration Will Now Have Provided Us With The Ultimate Reminder of Islamic Terror. Good!
November 20, 2009
I understand why the universe of cons and neo-cons has pounced on the Obamae for prosecuting K.S.M. in civilian proceedings in New York. And I find Charles Krauthammer's particular indictment of the venue and legal envelope of the proceedings strong, if not (entirely) persuasive. But I actually think that a public trial several blocks from the scene of the atrocity will etch into (much of) the world's consciousness the intrinsic brutality of the whole ideological system that inspired and brought discipline to that day of terror.

Kazuya Mishima a name almost synonymous with Tekken itself. I know Kazuya seems like the obvious choice, but I have been addicted to him ever since his ridiculous purple suit from Tekken 2. I remember when I learned my first ten hit combo with him I was hooked and me and Kazuya have been pals ever since. Oh wait AND he has lightning that comes out of his fists? Yeah, Kazuya is one badass mofo. So badass in fact that I've decided to write a little mini essay listing the reasons why.
First, I love Kazuya's moves and the way he plays. Every punch or kick feels like there's immense power behind it. His stance looks and feels very solid like a rock, and his moves, I think, reflect that. Not many of his moves are fast but they're very precise, solid and powerful. The perfect example i can think of is his 1,1,2 fellow Tekken players will hopefully know what I'm talking about. When that 2 hits and sends the other player stumbling back only to fall right on their ass makes you feel the power behind the Mishima Karate style of fighting. And the fact that lighting comes from his fists on power hits only adds to that feeling of power. No matter how much I play Kazuya I never get sick of his style or his moves, I get as much joy in performing Kazuya's 'Wind Godfist' or his 'Demon Sweep to Left Hook' as say performing Ryu's hadouken. Kazuya's moves are just awesome and classics that'll stand the test of time.
Besides Kazuya's move set and the way he plays I love Kazuya's bastardry. Think about it, Kazuya is an almost unbelievably awful person. Constantly thinking of ways to one up and or kill his only son JIn. Obsessed with overtaking his father and ending that miserable old mans life once and for all. Hell, Kazuya's sole purpose for entering The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 is to stop Jin from taking over the world......only so he can do it himself. To make it even better Kazuya is being worshipped and looked at as a hero, making you hate him just a bit more. No one could possibly be this horrible of a human being you might say, and yet Kazuya pulls it off with ease. He makes the perfect villain, and I can't help but love to hate him.
Lastly Kazuya's outfits and style cannot be overlooked. I remember seeing those red studded gloves for the first time in Tekken 1's opening and I knew he was going to be a favorite of mine, even though I really didn't pick him up until Tekken 2. Let's not forget his awesome purple suit from Tekken 2, which got carried over to later Tekken's cuz it was so awesome. Who else do you know could pull of a purple suit and not just purple, but purple and leather? No one, no one but Kazuya Mishima. I love that suit mainly because it's so ridiculous and then when I could change its colors in Tekken 5? Oh man pure awesomeness. And lets not forget his hair, his hair alone probably makes him one of the most recognizable fighting characters. Along with his unmistakable red studded gloves, and you've got the makings of a character that will be remembered for years to come.
Well lets recap of why I love Kazuya Mishima. His moves, powerful and solid. His bastardry, an almost unbelievably perfect villain. And lastly but certainly not least, his outfits and his way of fighting in style. I think that Kazuya will be one of those characters that gamers and fighting fans will look back on with fond memories. I'd even go as far to say that he might be remembered as one of the greats of fighting games, like Ryu or Ken. If you haven't played Kazuya yet maybe this will give you a reason to, and if you haven't played Tekken yet then.... why the hell are you reading this...GO PLAY TEKKEN!

Touch Diamond and Touch Pro. However, the capability is indeed present and exploited on video by HTC's own debug application. Even more interesting is the way that the handsets' entire front, capacitive surface (not just the 2.8-inch, 640 x 480 pixel display) can be used for multi-finger input. So like Dell's Latitude XT Tablet which launched multi-touch ready, expect to see future, multi-touch capabilities come to HTC's latest... someday. Click through for the vid.

Monthly Archives November 2009
Hi gang. First, I want to thank Tyler Stableford for a tremendously inspiring post yesterday. His post is really what it's all about. When I met Tyler at Photo Plus Expo, I knew I had met a great photographer, but as he's demonstrated through this actions, he's much more than that, and I'm even more impressed. If you didn't watch his video yesterday, please take a moment to watch it right now. It's incredibly powerful, and you'll be glad you did. Cool new iPhone App for Adobe Freaks (like me) My buddy Terry White has just released his own iPhone App (you knew it was only a matter of time, right?), that is already getting rave reviews. The App lets you watch Terry's top-ranked "Creative Suite Podcast" right on your phone, but the advantage of using the App (as opposed to just subscribing to…
Hi all,
It's a real honor to be writing today, and I want to thank Scott and Brad for the bandwidth. I'd like to share a behind-the-scenes story about the most exciting project of my career.
I'm an adventure photographer in Aspen, Colorado. When I first picked up a camera 15 years ago, I was tickled at the idea of being paid to rock climb, ski and travel. I certainly didn't get into photography to "make a difference." Indeed, from a cynical bent, you could say that I shoot leisure sports — images of rich white people overindulging in the outdoors.
Last winter, however, I turned my lens in the other direction. My wife and I were about to adopt a young boy from Ethiopia. As I read about the country's poverty crisis (it's one of the 10 poorest places in the world, with a mind-boggling 5 million orphans), I had pangs of guilt over our decision. We were spending thousands of dollars to haul a child to America when, one could argue, the money could go much further keeping at-risk parents alive. If we really cared about the welfare of our new boy or his Ethiopian peers, wouldn't it be better to keep his family healthy and fed in the first place, rather than opportunistically adopting him as an orphan?
Hi Folks, and greetings from 37,000 feet, somewhere over Pennsylvania (courtesy of Delta's new in-flight 'go-go" wi-fi Internet service). I'm totally beat, so I'm gonna keep this one short and sweet (that way, I can take a nap before I have to change planes for the 2nd leg back home). Philly rocked! First, thanks to everybody (nearly 600 of you), who came out to my Philadelphia seminar yesterday. What a great group to present to! It's been years since I've been to Philly, but I'll make sure it's much shorter before my next visit! Adobe has a challenge After teaching this seminar in Boston and now Philadelphia, it has really become even more clear to me that there's just a ton of confusion about the differences between Lightroom and Photoshop. Most of the photographers I talked to yesterday already use Lightroom, but the ones…

Hi Gang: As you�re reading this, I�m in Philadelphia for my �Photoshop Tour for Digital Photographers� seminar, but on my way to Philly, I headed up to Chicago for an NFL sideline shoot at the Chicago Bears vs. Cleveland Browns game on Sunday, with a couple of my buddies; Mike Olivella, and Alex Walker (That's us above. L to R: Mike, me, and Alex at Soldier Field during the game). It was perfect weather for a football game; around 55� with no wind, and all three of us had an absolute blast! I�ve included a few shots from the game (but I got into Philly around 12:30 am so I didn't have a lot of time to go through all the shots yet), but here�s a few quickies and the details on the gear I used, and settings: Gear I used two bodies: A…

The Victor Reader Stream version 4.4 update brings new wireless features including online podcasts and wireless access to the NLS BARD service. Stream users can enjoy the ability to search and browse podcasts, subscribe with a single key press and have new episodes automatically downloaded wirelessly to the Stream. Users eligible for the NLS BARD library service will be able to access over 50,000 digital books and magazines, searching by author or key word, by browsing over 100 categories, and via their own personal wish list that can be managed both on the Stream and through the NLS BARD website.
"Following the addition of internet radio, wireless access to Bookshare and Wikipedia, wireless access to NLS BARD and the ability to enjoy online podcasts have been among the most frequently requested features and we are delighted to bring them to the Victor Reader Stream and in a way that users will find to be both easy and enjoyable" said Matthew Janusauskas Technical Product Manager.

DAISY Consortium is pleased to announce the new release of the next generation open source multimedia book production tool, Tobi.
Tobi is a unique software tool that can produce books compliant with both the DAISY 3 and the mainstream EPUB 3 specifications. It includes the unique capability of adding accessibility enhancements, such as image descriptions, to the mainstream EPUB 3 publications.
The new release makes the production of EPUB 3 files more efficient. It introduces the Split and Merge command for EPUB projects, empowering the users to divide a large Tobi project created from EPUB 3 publication into sub-projects, so that they can be distributed for parallel production. These projects can then be updated concurrently and finally merged back together to form a completely updated Tobi project.
Specifically, the behaviors of the recording and playback commands have been refined to provide uninterrupted recording, and smart playback that stops automatically on occasions where screen reader speech needs more attention. In addition, rendering of MathML expressions now happens on selection, to reduce the loading time of projects. This release also addresses reported issues and includes other bug fixes.
To download Tobi or to learn more about it, please visit the Tobi project area http://www.daisy.org/tobi/.

Delhi: India has become the first country to ratify the Marrakesh Treaty to facilitate access to published works for persons who are blind, visually impaired or print disabled. The treaty would also go a long way towards establishing equal rights and opportunities for education and employment for them, the ministry of human resource development said in a statement.
The treaty, which was ratified on June 30th, will facilitate import of accessible format copies from member states by authorized entities in India such as educational institutions and libraries serving the needs of visually impaired persons, the statement added.
Once the treaty comes into effect, it will enable ease of access to published works for blind, visually impaired and otherwise print disabled persons in India. So far, 79 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) member states have signed the treaty, which will come into force once 20 countries have ratified it.
"The development will also facilitate translation of imported accessible format copies and export of accessible format copies in Indian languages," said the statement. the Indian Copyright (Amendment) Act, 2012, is in harmony with the Marrakesh Treaty, available on the WIPO website also in text-only DAISY format.
The World Intellectual Property Organization and a group of key partners including the DAISY Consortium, are launching a new alliance to boost the number of books in accessible format for use by hundreds of millions of people around the globe who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print disabled, most of whom live in less-developed regions.ABC was created to help implement the objectives of the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled at a practical level through work in three areas: the sharing of technical skills in developing and least developed countries to produce and distribute books in accessible formats, promoting inclusive publishing, and building an international database and book exchange of accessible books. The Marrakesh Treaty was adopted by WIPO's members on June 27, 2013 and will enter into force once it has been ratified by 20 nations.
"The launch of the Accessible Books Consortium advances global efforts to increase the number of books available for use by people with print disabilities," said WIPO Director General Francis Gurry. "We are pleased that ABC's stakeholders are fully committed to collaborating and ensuring the success of this initiative," he added. More information is provided in the official press release on the WIPO website.
EPUB 3.0.1 has been approved by the IDPF membership as a final Recommended Specification, superseding EPUB 3.0 to become the current version of the EPUB Standard. EPUB 3.0.1 is a minor revision, focusing on bug fixes and errata for the 3.0 specification, together with several minor backwards-compatible additions. A quorum of 95 IDPF member representatives voted in this election (50% of eligible members), with 93 voting in favor and 1 voting against (with 1 abstention), for an overall approval percentage of 99%, exceeding the Super-Majority of 66%, required by IDPF policies and procedures.
The EPUBCheck validation tool is expected to include complete support for EPUB 3.0.1 by August of this year, in conjunction with which samples for the new features of 3.0.1 are being developed. The EPUB Reading System Test Suite will be updated to include tests for 3.0.1 during the same timeframe. In addition, the Readium open source implementation of EPUB rendering already supports several EPUB 3.0.1 features and expects to deliver full support during this year.
"The Second Circuit of the US Court of Appeals upheld critical points of decision issued by Judge Howard Baer, Jr. in Author's Guild et al. vs HathiTrust et al., finding that digitization for full-text search and access for print-disabled readers is fair use under US law.
HathiTrust has to an unprecedented degree expanded access to the collections of our partner libraries, making them accessible in new ways to researchers and readers around the world. We are especially proud of our services to provide access for print-disabled persons. We would like to extend a special thanks to the many researchers, legal scholars, libraries, and other individuals and organizations for their continued support and use of HathiTrust. Although the court returned one matter to the lower court, we are very happy with today's ruling and feel confident that future decisions will continue to uphold the work that we do."

This week, government representatives and stakeholders met approximately 10 years after 2005 UN-led World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). A complete, fully functioning information society has not been achieved yet. The WSIS+10 High-Level Event (WSIS+10 HLE) of the UN International Telecommunication Union (ITU) took place June 10-13.
Meeting participants discussed progress made in the implementation of the original WSIS outcomes and adopted two new outcome documents to be considered by the UN General Assembly in 2015. These new documents highlight work done so far, and take note of new developments in recent years, such as broadband, social networks, mobility, digital inclusion, massive open online courses (MOOCs) and e-participation. But mainly the vision of inclusion of all groups of people in the information society has been reinstated.
The "Final WSIS Targets Review" was also released this week. This document "reviews progress made on each one of the WSIS Targets, which range from connecting villages, schools and health centres to developing content and providing people with ICT access," according to the summary. More information is provided on the ITU website.

The Centre for Equitable Library Access officially launched its new national service which provides accessible library services and materials to Canadians with print disabilities. The announcement was made at the Canadian Library Association's National Conference in Victoria, BC.
Over three million Canadians have a print disability. This could be a learning, physical or visual disability that prevents a person from reading conventional print. For the 10 per cent of Canadians who have a print disability, access to reading materials in alternate formats like audio, braille and described video is often an ongoing challenge. Research shows that access to a broad range of reading materials has a direct and positive impact on a child's success in school and in life. CELA makes it possible for these Canadians to gain easy access to a wealth of reading materials, in formats of their choice, right in their own communities through their local public library.
CELA audio books are available in either MP3 or DAISY format and can be listened to on user's computer or audio playback devices.

The new website epubtest.org has been launched in a collaborative effort between the Book Industry Study Group (BISG), DAISY Consortium, and the IDPF. EPUBTest.org provides a unified home for the definitive EPUB 3 Reading System Conformance Test Suite, originally developed by the IDPF, and the next generation of the BISG EPUB 3 Support Grid. This grid has been revamped moving from an Excel spreadsheet listing high-level features into a web-based database with fine-grained results determined objectively via the EPUB 3 Test Suite. The initial set of results showcase conformance of over two dozen different reading systems. At launch, the four highest scoring reading systems were Readium for Chrome (82% on required EPUB 3 features, 74% overall including optional features), VitalSource Bookshelf (79.5% / 61.5% for Mac version), iBooks (77.6% / 60.6% for iOS version), and Kobo iOS App (71.4% / 61% ). But now the race is on: who will be the first to reach 100% conformance?
