King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session (4/23/12)
April 23, 2012
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh today. At the outset, the Cabinet discussed a number of reports on the latest regional and global developments. Reviewing the various Arab and international efforts to resolve the Syrian crisis, including the latest meeting of the Group of Friends of the Syrian People in Paris, it renewed the Kingdom's steadfast determination to end the bloodshed and violence occurring there.
The Cabinet emphasized the contents of the final statement of the 33rd Extraordinary Session of the Ministerial Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which confirmed the full solidarity of the GCC states with the United Arab Emirates. Insisting that interregional relations must be based on mutual respect for sovereignty, cooperation and non-inflammatory speech, it declared that interference against any GCC state constitutes interference against all GCC states. The Cabinet also welcomed the final statement issued by the 9th Islamic Conference of Information Ministers held in Libreville, Gabon, which called for joint Islamic cooperation to work against campaigns attempting to tarnish the image of Muslims.
Minister of Defense Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz gave a briefing on his recent visits to the United Kingdom and the United States. The Cabinet expressed appreciation for the friendly, historic ties between the Kingdom and those two countries, lauding the mutual cooperation that has served to further peace, security and stability in the region.
Next, the Cabinet discussed the Kingdom's participation in a number of international economic forums, including meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) and the preparatory session held by the G-20 Finance Ministers ahead of the G-20 Economic Summit scheduled for June. The ministers noted that the continued strong performance of the Saudi economy is reflected in its high growth and moderate inflation, on the one hand, and its stabilizing effect on the oil market, on the other.
Turning to global cultural events, the Cabinet reviewed a report on the activities of the "Saudi Cultural Days" at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It lauded the partnership established between the Kingdom and UNESCO in 2011 by the establishment of the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Program for Enhancing Dialogue and the Culture of Peace.
Finally, the ministers reviewed the outcomes of several scientific, medical, cultural, economic and sporting events and conferences that took place inside the Kingdom last week, including the 3rd International Conference and Exhibition for Higher Education; the 15th graduation ceremony of the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties; and the inauguration of work on the Red Sea Gateway Terminal at Jeddah Islamic Port.
Continuing to address its agenda items, the Cabinet approved the Arab Agreement on combating corruption; accredited the final accounts of the King Fahd National Library for fiscal year 1431-1432 H.; approved a four-year plan to implement public transport projects in the city of Riyadh; approved the National Strategy and the Five-Year Plan for Developing Handicrafts; decided to subsidize locally-manufactured children's milk; and formed the Real Estate Development Fund's Board of Directors.
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Dr. Saad Al-Mhrej as Medical Consultant at the National Guard Command (15th rank); Abdullah Al-Bridi as Legal Consultant at the Board of Grievances (15th rank); Othman Al-Matrudi as Legal Consultant at the Supreme Council of the Judiciary (15th rank); Dr. Dawes Al-Shammari as Undersecretary of the Mayor for Reconstruction and Projects at the Hail Governorate (14th rank); and Saeed Al-Daeer as Geologist Expert at the Ministry of Electricity and Water (14th rank).

We all hear about pigs being so much more reviled than other forms of non-kosher. This is true in general culture; I believe such a minhag was recorded with regards to using soap rendered from non-kosher animals; we find the Talmud occasionally referring to a pig euphemistically as "something else", rather than having to say the word. What's so special (in a bad way) about pigs?

A few thoughts come to mind; this is a wiki, so please add more:
The essay brought here discusses why we revile the pig more than any other non-kosher animal, connects it to our own spiritual service, and explains why it will specifically be the pig that our Sages say G-d will make kosher again when Moshiach comes (as discussed there).
In short (but read the essay for all the details). The pig represents the worst kind of evil, evil masquerading as good. That is the hardest kind of evil to fight. However, the fact that the pig can successfully masquerade as good must be because it has some good in it. our severe hatred of the pig serves to cut off the evil and leave the good. On a spiritual level, this represents our fight with our own evil inside of us, the animal soul. The pig reminds us that we too have an evil inclination inside of us and by fighting it, we can leave only the good, eradicate the evil, and prepare ourselves and the world for Moshiach. G-d will reciprocate by making the pig kosher.
As discussed here, that doesn't mean the pig will actually be Kosher when Moshiach comes, depends on who you ask.
There is an amazing Ramban in דברים ,פרשת ואתחנן ,פרק ו, פסוק יא. The Ramban comments on the verse that says that when the Jews go to Israel there will be houses filled with every "good thing" (בתים מלאים כל טוב). The Ramban explains that this is referring to "pickled Pig". He explains that the Bnei Yisroel had a permit to eat pig. He quotes those that suggest this permit lasted for seven years. It is worth going through the Ramban. However, it is clear from this that the verse is referring to Pig as a "good thing". Furthermore, if it were as bad as people make it out to be, then how could Hashem permit us to eat it?
It would seem from a Halachick and philosophic standpoint their is absolutely nothing wrong with pig. But, what can we do, Hakodosh Baruch Hu forbid us to eat it. It seems there had to be some class of foods that are prohibited, Why pig? I don't know. But we see from the above Ramban there is absolutely nothing intrinsically wrong with pig per se other than Hashem was גוזר on me not to eat it.
Something I wrote at Parsha Shemini last year
The 172nd prohibition according to Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos is the prohibition against eating non-kosher. In Volume 3, Chapter 48 of Moreh Nevuchim the Rambam writes 'if we were allowed to eat pig's flesh, the streets and house would be dirtier than any cesspool'.
Have you ever wondered why it is that in almost all stereotypes about what a Jew can or cannot eat Pig is more often than not singled out? Beyond that even with Jews that aren't so strict in keeping dietary law they will proudly say 'I don't eat pig'. What is it about the Pig that singles it out amongst all other non-kosher animals?
In Parsha Shemini we are taught that in order for an animal to be kosher it needs two identifying signs, to have cloven hoofs and to chew the cud. The Torah does not list those animals which have both signs and are kosher or those which lack both and are not kosher but rather the only 4 animals that have one of the two signs.
It tells us that the Camel, Hyrax and Hare are not kosher because they chew the cud but do not have a cloven hoof and therefore unclean. The Pig on the other hand is singled out as being the only animal that has cloven hoofs but does not chew the cud. It is worthwhile to note that over the past 2400 years there has never been another animal found that fits into one of these categories.
So we see that the uniqueness of the Pig is that it is the only and will be the only animal to ever have cloven hoofs and not chew the cud. The question is why it is still held with such disregard by Jews, what makes it more unkosher them the next, or more unkosher then the Camel, Hyrax and Hare.The disregard shown for the Pig even finds its way into the Talmud, Midrash and later Rabbinic literature. The Midrash Rabba uses the Pig to refer to the evil national of Rome. The Midrash Tanchuma when describing someone drinking uses the analogy of animals. Drinking one cup a person becomes like a lamb, modest and meek, two cups mighty as a lion and speaks with pride, three to four cups like a money who dances and frolicks around and when he is drunk he becomes a pig, dirtied by mud and wallowing in filth.
Unique to the Pig amongst all other non-kosher animals is the appearance of being Kosher. The Pig is the only animal whose hoofs are split appearing from the outside no different to any other kosher animal but what lies beneath is its non-kosher inside, that it doesn't chew the cud. For Judaism, nothing could be worse than making a holy facade when your inside is rotten. It is this very attempt to parade itself as kosher which gives it the status amongst all other non-kosher animals.
The midrash asks the question why is the Pig called the Chazir? For in the future it will be lehachazir,returned. i.e. that Pig will be kosher in the Messianic Era. How is it after all that we have seen the Pig will become kosher in the times of Moshiach? Surely that is a time for eradicating animals that masquerade as one thing and are really another. However Kabbalah and Chassidus teach us that the pig does something for us, it forces us to confront our own short comings, and our own masquerades. We are the same on the outside all holy and pure but inside all rotten. We should strive to recognise the pig from what it is a mirror of ourselves.
It is taught that if we perfect ourselves and allow our outside and inside to be aligned that HaShem will do the same for the Pig. So it makes sense in times of Moshiach the pig's inside will be as pure as the outside, it will chew the cud as well as have split hoofs. We can speed up the process by working on ourselves.
I've thought about this for a while, and perhaps is has something to do with Yeshayahu 65:4. In that chapter, G-d is talking about how much he is upset at those who "vex Him to His Face" and (if I understood it correctly) will destroy them from amongst His people, while saving the righteous.
In verse 3 and 4, the prophet enumerates a list of things G-d says people are doing to vex Him, and amongst them is "those who eat swine flesh".
So eating pig is singled out (along with 4-5 others) from all the transgressions.
Perhaps because of this, pig is so reviled.

I use a test setup with Webdriver and TestNG in Eclipse using java client. Earlier when i was using Selenium 1 in this same setup, it was giving a very descriptive line by line run-info which made it very easy to trouble shoot. Is there any way to get this activated in webdriver ?

The easiest way is using WebDriverEventListener together with EventFiringWebDriver.
where LogDriver should be your own class implementing WebDriverEventListener.
WebDriverEventListener methods are fired every time you use WebDriver action like findElement or click. Therefore you can put there a couple of System.out.printlns() (or something more sophisticated like appending to html file) and it should be enough for troubleshooting.
If you run the webdriver in remotewebdriver mode, you should be able to see these commands in the node terminal. Hub will be sending these commands to node terminal. Its not the best way, but works.

Yes You Can
As we approach next weeks election, Catholic voters are being inundated with messages that suggest that it would be gravely sinful to vote for President Obama.This is not necessarily true.In saying this, I want to make clear that I am not arguing that one should vote for President Obama or that there are no compelling reasons to vote against him. What I am arguing is that it is incorrect to claim that voting for Obama is necessarily sinful.Catholic moral theology understands the act of voting as a form of cooperation in the acts of others. As I noted last week in my discussion of the HHS mandate, we generally speak of two types of cooperation, formal and material. Formal cooperation is when we share the intent of the person we are cooperating with, i.e. we want their act to succeed. Formal cooperation in evil is always morally wrong.Material cooperation, by contrast, exists when our own actions enable an act which we do not directly intend. An example of material cooperation might be a decision to purchase a pair of sneakers made in a factory with substandard working conditions. The purpose of my act is to obtain footwear and not to exploit workers. Nevertheless, my act of purchasing the sneakers does play a small role in perpetuating this injustice.
There are circumstances under which material cooperation in the evil acts of others can be morally licit. The general rule is that a) my own act of cooperation cannot, in itself, be evil and b) there must be a proportionate reason, i.e. the goods obtained by my cooperation must outweigh the evils and cannot be obtained through a feasible alternative (e.g. if my only alternative to buying the aforementioned sneakers was to make my own shoes).This is the framework that the U.S. Catholic Bishops and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith have applied to the act of voting. As (then) Cardinal Ratzinger noted in a 2004 letter to Cardinal Francis Stafford: A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil...if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidates permissive stand on abortion and/or euthanasia. When a Catholic does not share a candidates stand in favour of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.Those who argue that a Catholic cannot vote for a pro-choice candidate are essentially arguing that there is no good that can outweigh the intrinsic evil of directly taking innocent human life. While this may be true at the level of principle, an assessment of the goods and evils arising from the election of a particular candidate must take into account not merely the candidates philosophical positions, but also the specific policies the candidate supports and the likelihood that they can be implemented (c.f. Faithful Citizenship #37).Governor Romneys evolving position on abortion is an instructive example. In 2002, when running for governor in Massachusetts, Romney said I will preserve and protect a womans right to choose. Five years later, during his first campaign for president, he repudiated his earlier views, saying on abortion, I was wrong and that Im proud to be pro-life. After winning the Republican nomination earlier this year, however, he appeared to moderate his views again, telling an interviewer that there's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda. Romney quickly backtracked, but was embarrassed earlier this week when one of his spokespersons reassured a group of voters in Ohio that Roe v. Wade would not be at risk during a Romney Administration.A reasonable person surveying this history could certainly question the depth of Romneys commitment to the pro-life cause. Its not unreasonably, of course, to take him at his word. It seems clear, though, that people of good faith can disagree about the concrete impact a Romney presidency would have on abortion in the United States.A similar degree of uncertainty surrounds almost all the goods and evils that Catholics might associate with the two candidates. Romneys proposed cuts to SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps), for example, might seem draconian and unconscionable, but there are reasons to deem such a radical restructuring of the program unlikely (hint: farming interests support the program). With respect to war and peace, its not clear that either candidate can be fully trusted to keep us out of a potentially disastrous war with Iran. The fact that the bishops may have a range of morally acceptable options for mitigating the harm of the HHS mandate blunts the force of the argument that removing President Obama is the only way to deal with the problem.It is rational to discount future benefits by the probability of obtaining them. This principle can also be applied to the promises that candidates make when running for office. Catholics acting in good faith can certainly come to different conclusions about probabilities in question, which would lead them to different conclusions about whether the proportionality test described earlier had been met. They could do this without necessarily disagreeing with the bishops that some evils are certainly more serious than others.To make these kinds of calculations is part of the work of conscience. While conscience certainly can err, we should always be wary in concluding that others are not acting according to conscience. Such a conclusion requires the deep knowledge of an individual that arises from a personal relationship. It is work best left to the confessional not the ballot box.

For me, this blog post by J. Peter Nixon could serve as a good example of why I am really grateful the founders were determined to establish a secular state. God knows, we haven't always been faithful to that vision.It is just plainly bizarre to apply notions of "gravely sinful" and "Catholic moral thinking" to the exercise of voting in a democratic society.Voting is the ultimate act of free speech and the exercise of a political CHOICE. In life, as in politics, sometimes the choices are between or among candidates or positions that are less than good. To choose is to live in the public commons, to find communality within a wide diversity.There is a reason why Thomas Jefferson wrote: "I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."That applies equally well to either Catholic bishops or Mormon presidential candidates.
Thanks for this post. Speaking just for myself, I disagree somewhat with Jim Jenkins (11/1, 1:56 am) on whether it's appropriate to apply Catholic moral thinking to the act of voting.However, what's most striking to me about Bishop Jenky's letter is its conclusion. After speaking in blunt language about the unprecedented assault on religious freedom, and after comparing Catholics who vote for, say, candidates who support the Hyde amendment (if I'm reading the bishop's letter correctly) to the crowd that called for Jesus' death, Bishop Jenky's stirringly concludes, "I therefore call upon every practicing Catholic in this Diocese to vote."Really? That's all? Just "vote"?If things are as bad as this bishop says they are, it seems to me the situation calls for a greater response. I don't know what that would be, but I fear that the gap between rhetoric and action does nothing (at best) to bolster the Church's witness, and may even weaken it.
Peter, bravo. I agree 100%.
As a union man, frankly my economic interests are with the Democrats, however as a matter of priorities, morals must come before money.Just as I could make due under a socialist state that was pro-life, I can make do under the market capitalism the Republicans advocate. With that in mind, since the Democrats are actively pro-choice, since they have refused for decades now, to remove that clear statement from their party platform, while I do give them credit for being honest about being pro-choice, I cannot support that. Since I cannot morally vote for the principles of Mr. Obamas party (i.e. that the ends justify the means), I will not vote for him.If Democrats would stop promoting abortion like they do, I could and probably would vote for some of them. As it stands, at least for the higher, more influential offices, as I have since the Reagan days, I will vote for the Republican.
"With respect to war and peace, its not clear that either candidate can be fully trusted to keep us out of a potentially disastrous war with Iran'Really?... lets look at Romney foreign policy advisers.. Say hello to Fmr UN ambassador Bolton and Fox news.
I think most Americans are war-weary and that both Obama and Romney would know enough to keep us out of foreign entanglements for the next four years.
@Ken (11/1, 11:41 am) I agree that most Americans are war-weary. I'm curious to know why you think Gov. Romney "would know enough to keep us out of foreign entanglements" if he's elected president.
Anti abortion candidates are not necessarily pro life. Have we already forgotten about the "consistent ethic of life"? the "seamless garment" that Cardinal Bernardin and others explained to us. When we look at demographic information, the countries with the lowest rates of abortion are those with universal healthcare and a strong social safety net-----those with the highest rates are those which criminalize abortion and provide no social support for the poor and disenfranchised.In voting for President Obama my motive in part is to support programs and policies which I believe will help reduce the number of abortions in our country. Making abortion criminal will make it less safe, but will not necessarily reduce the number of abortions.And too, how realistic is it for us to expect abortion to be outlawed? The Supreme Court has decided that women have a constitutional right to privacy when it comes to abortion. Therefore, we will need a constitutional amendment (highly unlikely) or a Supreme Court willing to vote against "stare decises." Even if the Supremes overturn Roe v. Wade, abortion is still legal. It will then be up to each state to determine whether or if abortion will be against the law. All this is very remote and unlikely.Isn't the better path to work with those who will help mitigate the conditions which make abortion more likely?President Obama's stated position is that he would like to make abortion rare, but safe. If the anti choice forces were not so strident, perhaps pro-choice and anti-choice could sit down at a table and agree to policies that might actually do something about the problem
With respect to war and peace -- with respect to war and peace, the last Republican president has gotten the US into two wars, and the current president has gotten the US out of one and is in process of getting out of the other. Forget political campaign words, lies, and empty promises, and judge the parties by their actions in the last few years: it is obvious which party is a peacemaker. No question!
Am I am so stupid that I cannot read between the lines and see that letters like Bishop Jenky et al are trying to influence me to vote for Romney/Ryan and not for Obama/Biden? It's a no-brainer. Vote the Republican ticket, but I'm not telling you how to vote. It's the height of deception.The eighth commandment forbids misrepresenting the truth in our relations with others. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2464)
Susanne At over 1 million abortions per year in the USA alone, abortions is hardly rare. As for being safe, since the successful result of an abortion is a dead baby, it can hardly be called safe.As for being less strident and sitting down at table to agree, lets see; one person wants to dig a baby out of a womens womb and kill the child (or kill the baby first and then dig it out in pieces), and the other person understands that is murder. Not much common ground there . . . as with slavery, or WW2 Germany (how many slaves is an acceptable number? how many Jews per year is it Ok to push into the gas chambers?), there really cannot be much compromise.
Helen, Susanne and Claire have seen through the hype. Women intuition at work.. I think that the few bishops who try to do the GOP heavy lifting bidding on Catholic voters are not fooling anybody and are losing what ever credibility the entire hierarchy has left. Moderate bishops have kept silent on these bishops' 'shout outs' so they too will lose their credibility and I will waste no sadness on what befalls them. Most pastors are wincing at these developments, because they see that the probable Obama win will leave all bishops, both the noisy and the silent with no ground to stand on as the GOP takes four years to re-group or plunge into a small right wing party. Did the bishops really think Catholic Taco Bell frachiseees would reward them if they could keep their 'no health insurance' for the counter girls?
Mr. Nixon,Far be it from me to disagree with you (and I don't), but Catholics are being pressured right from the pulpit not to vote for the Democratic ticket. NCR has the story about Bishop Jenkey, of Peoria, DEMANDING, by virtue of their vow of obedience to the bishop, that all the priests in his diocese read his letter this week-end. In this letter, Jenkey tells the people that they are in grave sin if they vote for (and he doesn't name the party---but everyone over the age of 10 will know what political party he's referring to).And Bishop Jenkey isn't just 'suggesting' that Catholics will sin gravely----he's saying it outright. His letter should be sent to the IRS as soon as possible---and he should loose his tax exempt status.
"A reasonable person surveying this history could certainly question the depth of Romneys commitment to the pro-life cause."I would change "a reasonable person" to "a person with her eyes open." Romney is pro choice. He is just going along with this political football trickery. W Bush was also pro choice. He just used it to gain votes. His wife Laura was clearly pro choice. This is a fraud issue started by the Catholic bishops who convince Falwell and Robertson of its political value. We really shame ourselves that we take the bishops seriously in this. When are we going to visibly confront the bishops on this fraud. Meanwhile, as the trumpets sound for all us to vote for Romney, the bishops are not "active" in helping with Sandy. " Archbishop Chaput explained that the archdioceses Catholic Human Services would work to provide shelter during the storm.Added the archbishop, While we do not have active disaster relief in place during the storm, we will cooperate fully with the Red Cross and government agencies to provide food, alternate shelter and financial relief as needed after the storm.
I always rely on the guidance of the bishops such as Jenky, Morlino, Crocodileone, Vasa, Bruskewitz ad nauseum when it comes to my vote. What they say not to do, I do. To the average voting Catholic, such ideas as remote material cooperation and direct material cooperation are about as material as the cost of eggs in Uzbekistan.And, yes, the visible lack of material cooperation on the part of the Catholic church, particularly outside of the areas affected by Sandy, rings deathly clear. Southern Baptists are sending aid and I am sure that the LDS church is aiding at least its own storm-damaged church members. What say ye, One True Church? Where are you now?
@Ken (11/1, 1:52 pm) If, as you seem to suggest, current U. S. law with regard to abortion is analogous to chattel slavery and the Holocaust, does Bishop Jenky's action---requiring his priests to read a letter urging Catholics to vote---seem to you a proportionate response?
Take heart, all! Things are getting better. Or less worse.Only a few centuries ago, Catholic bishops, staunch defenders of life from conception to natural death, were burning heretics. They threatened to torture one of the first modern men for espousing an understanding of astronomyastronomy!that only a few burbling lunatics deny today, and they did in fact, being lovers of freedom, force him to recant and then punish him with years of house arrest.Later versions of those bishops were hugely influential in encoding in law their beliefs about a wide range of social issues and imposing them on diverse populations.Today Bishop Jenky, unacknowledged Romney surrogate, stands with Newt and Rick and what's-her-name, persuading the already persuaded and disheartening everyone else. He has, as I have, one vote.
While casting the problematic stances of ones preferred candidate in as favourable a light as possible is to be expected, we should be careful not to go so far as to give scandal. No serious person believes Obama is not significantly more pro-choice than Romneyjust ask NARAL, or Planned Parenthood, or Nancy Pelosi...
A few years ago when a tree hit my car the insurance adjustor called it "an act of God." When I told him God did not do it, the wind did it, he said: "Oh that's just what we call it."Now, if hurricane Sandy can be seen as an "act of God" and if it contributes to favorable voting for Obama, can we conclude that God wants Obama to be reelected? ;-)
Ken, We all mourn the millions of babies who have never had a chance at life. We also mourn for the mothers who believed that abortion was the answer to their problem. For most women who choose abortion, it is a painful and difficult decision. I know from my work with women with substance abuse problems, we can make a difference, helping women to take responsibility for their life and their sexuality. Other programs which address the causes rather than imposing punishments also help to make abortion less likely. There are two ways (at least) of addressing this problem.....one is pastoral the other is proscriptive. Regardless of the way we address the problem, abortions will continue. I am old enough to remember what it was like before Roe v. Wade in a state where abortion was illegal. Abortion was frequent, and deadly for both mother and child. Surely we can do better than just say "Thou shalt not...."
Jim, to your rogues' gallery, add Thomas Wenski, bishop of Miami. In 2004, when he was bishop of Orlando, he all but ordered his flock to vote for Bush over Kerry because of the abortion issue. (As an aside, his statements about the pedophile scandals sound so much like Bill Donohue's that many of us would be hard-pressed to tell them apart.)Like a lot of the bishops, Wenski has a favorite talking point: namely, "If you don't have the right to life, then all your other rights are meaningless." The bishops love this because they think it precludes any possible answer. Au contraire: I say that if you don't live on a planet which is capable of sustaining homo sapiens, then your right to life is meaningless.One political party is closer than the other to accepting that climate change is real, it's man-made, and it's long past time to start doing something about it. It's not the party whose candidates take donations from Big Oil PACs, sneer at renewable energy, and chant "Drill, baby, drill."
The eighth commandment forbids misrepresenting the truth in our relations with others. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2464)Oh, darn it!:-)
"I always rely on the guidance of the bishops such as Jenky, Morlino, Crocodileone, Vasa, Bruskewitz ad nauseum when it comes to my vote. What they say not to do, I do."By golly, these guys must be good for somethin', after all!:-)
KEn --While you're looking down from your high horse at the people you say are pro=abortion and permit murder, look carefully and you will see that among those whom you disdain so scornfully are dozens of popes and the Saints Augustine, Anselm and Aquinas, not to mention other theologians who agreed, or disagreed with them. The point there has never been a unanimous Catholic teaching about abortion. Until there is, honest people can disagree if their consciences tell them they must..If you could possibly grant that there might -- just might -- be something left for you to learn, you might find it profitable to sit down with Church historians and theologians with more knowledge of Church history than you and some of the bishops and recent popes have had.The matter is not settled, and don't you forget it.
"I always rely on the guidance of the bishops such as Jenky, Morlino, Crocodileone, Vasa, Bruskewitz ad nauseum when it comes to my vote. What they say not to do, I do."Jim McCreaSounds like a good system.I often use a similar secular voter guide. When I'm too tired or lazy to wade through the thrilling text of a California ballot proposition, I check whose for it. League of Women Voters? Big plus. Any chamber of commerce? Uh-oh. Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association? Definitely go the other way.It lowers my conscientiousness quotient somewhat, but I've found that it's pretty reliable and a lot faster.
"Forget political campaign words, lies, and empty promises, and judge the parties by their actions in the last few years: it is obvious which party is a peacemaker. No question!"That's actually quite a good point which many people do not realize. As the Editors have astonishingly said, the drones which are used to assassinate Muslim civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Iraq, Somalia, and Yemen with Hellfire missiles are not "tool[s] of war". Therefore, the "peacemaker" label, as sickening as that may sound, especially given today's Gospel, is quite appropriate.
Very good post and completely agree. (notwithstanding that I have a clear conscience in favour of Romney ;)And certainly agree that Catholics could with a good conscience vote for Obama. Many already have and will.It is important, also, that Catholics engage in public life and it is the duty of bishops to voice their views on what that should look like broadly speaking.As Catholics, we do have a duty to listen respectfully to their voices. At the same time, Bishops do need to understand that there are complexities to secular life that they do not face in the same way that lay people face them. They need to trust that Catholic lay people will, in fact, arrive, at the most appropriate means, given the circumstances and politics of the moment to ensure that the gospel is lived out in the world. They can help by providing the language and framework for Catholics to discern. I do not like abortion but I understand that there are limitations on what politicians can realistically do.
MAT, I agree that drones are scary and that their use for assassination must be condemned.However I am convinced that it is not a Democratic/Republican issue and that, were the president Republican, they would be used just as much. It's a US issue, not a partisan issue.
"I would change a reasonable person to a person with her eyes open. Romney is pro choice. He is just going along with this political football trickery. W Bush was also pro choice. He just used it to gain votes. His wife Laura was clearly pro choice. This is a fraud issue started by the Catholic bishops who convince Falwell and Robertson of its political value. We really shame ourselves that we take the bishops seriously in this. When are we going to visibly confront the bishops on this fraud."That sounds true.
Romney is a deliberate flip-flopper, will say or do anything to occupy the White House."Tell me what you want me to say, and I'll tell you what you want to hear."
"We all mourn the millions of babies who have never had a chance at life. "And I hope we all mourn those millions of children who have been born behind the power curve, primarily because their birth was an accident or the result of rape or incest, and the post-birth life has been nothing more than one unfortunate circumstance after another. A few have had the ability to rise above it all and succeed, but their numbers are dwarfed by those who spend their lives in poverty, disease and/or jail. There is a lot more to life than the birth moment.
From a sister publication across the Atlantic:http://www.thetablet.co.uk/blogs/403/17The Tablet Blog: Jesus would have voted in the US electionLiz Dodd2 November 2012, 9:00Would Jesus vote in next Tuesday's US Presidential Election? At a debate in London this week Revd Giles Fraser, former Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, managed to convince 214 people (the winning majority) that Jesus would have abstained.I find that hard to believe.The percentage of Americans living in poverty is at an all-time high. Some 46.2 million Americans live below the poverty line - that's equivalent to the population of Spain. Six million people have no income other than food stamps, the New York Times reported in July. Around 27 per cent of African-Americans, Latinos and American Indians are poor, contrasted with 10 per cent of whites.I can't believe Jesus would feel apathetic about poverty, war, health care or the environment - issues that are at the heart of the fight for the presidency. Nor would he withhold his vote, which, to pollsters, is indistinguishable from apathy anyway. In a democracy, your vote is currency, and if you're not apathetic about the issues at stake you have a responsibility to use it.The Commonwealth Fund, a non-partisan health care foundation, revealed the possible impact the Presidential election could have on health care, just one election issue, in a recent report on its website.Governor Mitt Romney has pledged to repeal 'Obamacare' (the Affordable Care Act) and replace it with the Romney Plan on his first day in office. If this happens, the Commonwealth Fund predicts that 72 million Americans will be without health insurance by 2022.A separate study by health advocacy group Families USA found that 26,000 Americans (aged 25-64) died prematurely in 2010 because they did not have health insurance. In 2010, 50 million Americans lacked health insurance. People die because they lack access to health care - and access to health care will be determined by the Presidential election.Not all Catholics agree that Obamacare is a means to help poor Americans escape poverty. Many think that it's inherently wrong because it mandates abortion and contraception. But too much is at stake - whatever side you're on - and refusing to pick a team is no way to absolve yourself from the debate and its ramifications.Jesus was not afraid of debate. Sometimes voting means aligning with controversy - whether in the form of rights for the poor, the sick, the unemployed. Jesus sided with these people in his life - and he would have sided with them with his vote.
Peter NIxon gives a clear expression to the distinction between formal and material cooperation in evil. On an earlier thread I offered objections to the distinction between remote and proximate material cooperation. Here let me raise another, probably more important point about the sufficiency of the distinctions in play in moral reflection on actions.Often, people talk as though all of our morally relevant actions can be viewed as discrete performances. Consider the child's confession of disobedience. "I disobeyed my mother THREE (not two) TIMES." Such a remark mirrors criminal law talk. "Charlie is charged with three counts of theft." He may be convicted of two and acquitted of the third. Legal talk about legally actionable acts may have very good reason for treating these acts as discrete, as independent of one another. This won't do for all morally relevant acts. Much of the morally relevant conduct of many adults takes place within the framework of durable commitments. Among such commitments are marriages, business partnerships, political party affiliations. To understand and evaluate the specific acts, one has to recognize that they are pare of living out commitments of this sort.Suppose I am interested in playing a significant role in the political life of my community. I join and participate in one of the established political parties. Experience shows that if I am to have any reasonable expectation of being effective, I will have to make compromises of various sorts. I have "to pay my party loyalty dues." This may mean that to get some body of legislation enacted, I have to support the inclusion of some things that are morally bad, e.g., politically accepting a party platform that legalizes abortion, that supports military action that does not meet just war requirements., etc. I do so in the hope that overall my party's programs are better for the common good of my society than are the programs of the opposition.Take another example. I'm a youngish married man with three young children and a wife who has a medical condition that would make another pregnancy for her be very dangerous to her life. Doctors clearly discourage her from getting pregnant. How should she and I deal with each other sexually? Suppose using contraceptives is medically safe. Would our using them in these circumstances be sinful? If so, please explain.These two examples are by no means "exotic." they're the stuff of a great deal of our dealings with one another, dealings that are to be animated by live and solicitude. Unquestionably, some deeds, e.g., murder, abortion, are always off limits. But the list of such deeds is much shorter than one might be led to believe if they simply think in terms of discrete acts along the lines of legal prohibitions. Notice that the commitments that I am talking about here are all commitments that are generally regarded as being morally good. I'm not talking about commitments made to loyalty to mobsters, etc.
Bernard --I think you're touching on a point I tried to make sometime back when I said that the theology of sin needs to be revisited. This division into venial and mortal sin needs more attention, and I think that looking at sins from the point of view of betrayed commitments would probably be a good start.
Ann, you may well e right about the theology of sin. My comment grows out of the philosophy of action. There is no such thing as a human action that is wholly independent of other actions, both past and likely to follow. Furthermore there are no genuine human actions that are totally devoid of complex motivation, which motivation is regularly not fully transparent to the agent or to anyone else.If I make a durable morally appropriate commitment to anyone else, then the recipient has a real stake in my subsequent conduct that is relevant to that commitment. This follows from the nature of a promise. All this is relevant to determining the moral quality of many human acts.
Bernard --Very interesting. It reminds me of a remarkable scene in the first of the great English TV series, The Forsythe Saga. A betrayed wife says angrily to her husband, "You are too much!" Simple words, of no intrinsic power, even trivial, but in the context, given what we know about their relationship, it was a powerfully damning statement. Things can be magnified, or minimized, by context.

Nyaguthii Chege '99
International Impact
One look at the faculty listing for Peking University's School of Transnational Law (STL) is enough to show that Columbia Law School has planted strong roots in Shenzhen, a city northwest of Hong Kong. In just a few short years, five Columbia Law School graduates have joined STL's faculty of 24 full-time professors and lecturers, and Nyaguthii Chege '99 signed on as the school's first director of career services in the summer of 2012.
STL was founded five years ago, and, since then, several Law School graduates have served as C.V. Starr Lecturers in its Transnational Legal Practice Program. The program helps non-native English speakers master legal research.
The transition from the Morningside Heights campus to Shenzhen came quickly for Travis Annatoyn '10, who taught as a Starr lecturer months after graduating from the Law School. During his year at STL, Annatoyn spoke with Andrew Jensen Kerr '11 about the merits of the job. Kerr now serves as a Starr senior lecturer in STL's Transnational Legal Practice Program, and he helped persuade Juan Gonzalez '07 to join the same program.
Sang Yop Kang '07 LL.M., '11 J.S.D. teaches corporate law, securities law, and corporate governance at STL, which was the first law school in China to offer a joint English Juris Doctor degree and Chinese Juris Master degree.
In addition, Mark Feldman '99 teaches contracts, treaty arbitration, and international business transaction law. Feldman served as chief of NAFTA/CAFTA-DR arbitration in the U.S. State Department's Office of the Legal Adviser before moving to Shenzhen with Chege, his wife.
"I imagine that working at STL is similar to being in a start-up organization," says Chege. "This is such a new endeavor, so we all feel that we're on an adventure together."

WASHINGTON (September 17, 2012)-- new study by the Institute of Medicine finds that substance abuse among troops has become a "public health crisis" and says Pentagon methods for dealing with it are outdated.
The study by the institute, which is part of the National Academy of Sciences, found that about 20 percent of active duty service members reported they drank heavily in 2008, the last year for which data is available, and, binge-drinking rose to 47 percent in 2008 from 35 percent in 1998.
"We commend the steps that the Department of Defense and individual service branches have recently taken to improve prevention and care for substance use disorders, but the armed forces face many ongoing challenges," said Charles P. O'Brien, Kenneth Appel Professor and vice chair, department of psychiatry, and director, Center for Studies of Addiction, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and chair of the committee that wrote the report.
"Better care for service members and their families is hampered by inadequate prevention strategies, staffing shortages, lack of coverage for services that are proved to work, and stigma associated with these disorders. This report recommends solutions to address each of these concerns," he said.
The study says new methods are needed to help troops including better-trained counselors and more outpatient care as opposed to relying so heavily on hospitalizations and residential programs.

7 Animals That Are One Flaw Away From Taking Over the World
The shoebill is basically like the missing link between a stork and a pterodactyl. They were only discovered as recently as 160 years ago, possibly after they were thawed out of the large chunk of ice in which they slept since prehistoric times. They are called shoebills because their bills are supposed to resemble shoes, but whoever came up with that name apparently thinks footwear should include a hook for killing things.
Before you ask, yes. It tastes exactly like chicken.
They stand at around 4 feet tall with a 9-inch bill and are generally found in the muddy swamplands of Eastern Africa, one of the most hardcore wilderness regions of the world. Young crocodiles and small antelopes commonly succumb to the attacks of this feathered death machine, though their preferred prey include the African lungfish (one of the most terrifyingly hard to kill creatures ever), snakes, lizards and turtles.
The shoebill kills like a professional, fast and silently -- it holds perfectly still, watching its prey until the time is just right; then, in one decisive movement it lunges down head first, using its powerful jaws and nose-hook to puncture and crush its prey in an instant.
Notice how the front of his head is basically a sword.
Their Stupid Defect:
For a bird that feeds by swooping down on its prey and snatching it up, the shoebill is not very good at, you know, flying. Their wings are actually wide and powerful; the problem is that these bastards are so big that they require a lot of open space to take off, and open space is not something they have a lot of where they live.
We don't know what's going on here, but we're sure it's pornographic for somebody.
What they do have a lot of is tall grass and canopies, the exact type of thing that completely trips them up if they attempt to fly -- that 7-foot wingspan doesn't look so intimidating when it causes the giant bird to fumble around uncomfortably. This experience is so embarrassing, it seems, that this entire species has simply given up: Shoebills are known for being reluctant to fly, even preferring to build their nests on ground level.
Yep. They're huge birds for whom getting up into a tree is too much trouble.

#2. Slavemaker Ants Suck at Everything
Slavemaker ants are literally ants that make slaves out of other ants. It's that simple, and that hardcore. They fight their way into another colony, slaughter the adults and steal their young so they can force them to work for them for the rest of their lives. Here's some seriously epic footage of a slavemaker raid (they're the red ones), presented without audio so that you can play some Lord of the Rings trailer music on top.
Slavemaker scouts intentionally target the most well defended mound they can find (since they'll probably have more eggs), and then the workers barge in like an elite strike team -- sometimes it's only a handful of raiders against an entire colony. They are basically the goddamn Spartans of the insect kingdom.
"THIS. IS ... actually your ant hill. But we're taking it."
Even the way they mate is badass: The queen fakes her own death, waits for enemy ant soldiers to drag her to their own queen for feeding, then disembowels the enemy queen and rolls in her viscera, catching her smell so that the workers will see her as their queen and tend to her eggs.
Their Stupid Defect:
They're good for raiding and stealing your children, but not so good for ... anything else. As in, they literally can't feed themselves on their own. Even if food is put right in front of them, they won't know what to do with it and will starve to death. Slavemaker ants depend on their slaves for everything, even defending the colony.
Wikipedia Commons
"One of you needs to make a snack run. I left my license in the other hive."
Basically, they raid out of desperation, not because of how tough they are. These guys are so useless that they can't even take care of their own queen or forage for food unless they get their slaves to do it. It's not that they're lazy, they're simply incompetent at anything other than war. And when we say anything, we mean anything -- when the colony relocates the slaves must carry their confused, possibly drooling masters to their new home.

#1. Scorpions Glow in the Dark
Chances are you're already scared of scorpions, and if you're not, it's probably because you don't know enough about them. Scorpions are like spiders in little sets of armor -- they are even equipped with a special paralyzing weapon attached to their tails. Despite qualifying as an insect, we think they have more in common with a Japanese mecha. Of the 1,500 species known to man, only 25 are deadly to humans, which is 25 too many if you ask us. The rest may not kill you, but not for lack of trying (and it still hurts like hell).
We don't care how brave you are. One of these at eye level ends in a urine-soaked sleeping bag.
Scorpions are opportunistic feeders who will tear apart and eat just about anything they can plunge their venomous barbs into. Also, if you're into camping, we feel the need to tell you that most of them come out at night, in order to avoid their numerous predators.
Their Stupid Defect:
Of course, if you do come across a scorpion at night, there's a big chance you'll be able to spot it right away, because this is what they look like:
Like the ceiling of a 10-year-old boy.
Even though scorpions are nocturnal, they produce a special fluorescent chemical that causes them to light up if the stars or the moon are out. Imagine trying to sneak up on your dinner while looking like a damned neon sign. The glow in the dark action not only makes them a dead giveaway to their prey, but also to their predators and, perhaps most annoyingly, to assholes who come out to the desert so they can take artsy blacklight of them.
Life's Little Mysteries
Which just makes us think of CSI and that episode when someone came all over a scorpion.
Scientists think that this may actually be a way to avoid predators, since it lets them know when the night is too bright to go hunting ... by making them look even brighter. In that case, why not just give them better sight and let them tell if it's too bright by looking?
Here's another explanation: Mother Nature is an asshole.
An asshole with style.

Student Financial Services > Scholarship and Award Information > Faculty and Staff Children Exchange (FACHEX)
Overview of the FACHEX Program
What is FACHEX?
Established by the Conference of Academic Vice Presidents of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) in 1971, FACHEX is an acronym for Faculty and Staff Children Exchange.
FACHEX is an undergraduate tuition remission program for children of current full-time faculty, administrators, and staff. Through the FACHEX program, employees who have a tuition remission benefit for their children at their home institution can apply to receive the same benefit at participating Jesuit colleges and universities, should there be space available, and the student meets that school's requirements for FACHEX applicants. It is important to realize, however, that FACHEX awards tend to be extremely limited in number, and highly competitive. As a result, there are no guarantees to the children of any given faculty or staff member that they will be able to utilize the FACHEX benefit at the institution of their choice.
Eligibility requirements are determined by the home institution. The general principle is, if the home institution grants a full-tuition remission benefit to the child of a faculty or staff member, then the child is eligible to apply for a possible FACHEX award at the participating Jesuit institution(s) of their choice. It is important to realize, however, that each institution sets their own rules about how students are selected for a FACHEX award. Many schools use academic achievement as a determining factor, and will only consider incoming Freshmen as applicants.
At Saint Louis University, an employee must have completed at least three years of continuous full time service to be considered eligible to apply for FACHEX at participating institutions.
Additionally, participating FACHEX schools have assigned December 15th as the last date they will receive FACHEX Certification Letters for the following Fall. To ensure eligibility, it is imperative that the eligible parent request certification by December 1 before the student's fall semester of enrollment at a participating FACHEX institution, as there is no guarantee that a late certification will be honored by the desired institution.
FACHEX, should it be granted, only covers tuition (up to 18 credit hours per semester). Any additional expenses incurred by the student such as room, board, travel related expenses, or books, are the sole responsibility of the student and/or the student's family. FACHEX is for 8 semesters, four years of school or upon completion of a bachelor's degree, whichever comes first.
Each participating institution determines the number of FACHEX awards it will grant to incoming students each year. As a general rule, these positions are extremely limited in number, hence highly competitive in terms of both space and selectivity. As stated above, there are no guarantees to the children of any given faculty or staff member that they will be able to utilize the FACHEX benefit at the institution of their choice. For more information on the number of FACHEX awards available at a particular institution, contact the institution's FACHEX coordinator.
Application Process for Eligible Employees of Saint Louis University:
1. By December 1st, the parent employed at Saint Louis University sends in the FACHEX application to the FACHEX coordinator, along with the names of the participating institution(s) to which their child is planning to apply for admission.
2. Once the FACHEX coordinator confirms the parent's benefits eligibility, he/she will send a letter to the FACHEX Coordinator of the school(s) to which the student is applying, certifying the student's eligibility to participate in that school's FACHEX program, should a position be available. A copy of the letter will also be sent to the eligible employee.
3. The student applies to the participating institution(s) he/she designated above. (It is also recommended that the student or parent contacts the FACHEX coordinator at their desired school(s) to see if there are any special admissions dates they need to follow. It is not uncommon for institutions to encourage FACHEX applicants to apply for Early Action, so it is the responsibility of the student/parent to find this information out, and follow those admission guidelines.)
4. After admission decisions have been made, the FACHEX coordinator at each participating institution in which the child applied, informs whether or not he/she will be offered a FACHEX award. Please be aware that decisions by each participating institution are done on their own time frame. However, most schools wait until after March 1st to make decisions for FACHEX.
** If given a FACHEX award, the employee must request to be re-certified every year. A FACHEX application is sent to the FACHEX coordinator with the words "re-certify" and the particular institution where the student is attending. This must be done every year that the student is attending the institution.
Application Process for Eligible Employees of Participating Institutions who's Children are Applying to Saint Louis University:
1. Before February 1st, the parent employed at a participating university notifies the FACHEX coordinator at his/her home institution with their child's legal name, mailing address, social security number, and the names of the participating institution(s) to which their child is planning to apply for admission.
2. Once the coordinator at the home institution confirms the parent's benefits eligibility, they will e-mail or send a letter by mail to the FACHEX Coordinator at Saint Louis University certifying the student's eligibility to participate in Saint Louis University's FACHEX program, should a position be available. The FACHEX coordinator at Saint Louis University will confirm with both the home institution's FACHEX coordinator and the parent that we have received an eligibility letter.
3. The student applies to Saint Louis University. FACHEX is only given to incoming freshmen students. It is not awarded to transfer students or students who are already attending and their parents become eligible for the benefit after the student has already begun attending SLU.
4. After admission decisions have been made, the FACHEX coordinator at Saint Louis University informs eligible students of whether or not he/she will be offered a FACHEX award. FACHEX decisions are made after March 1st.

Steve Waters's piece on thinktanks is timely and accurate
Dangerous minds, November 10
. Global companies are buying up thinktanks left, right and centre. Large cheques come attached to particular policy recommendations and senior corporate types sit on committees ready to "candle snuff" dangerous ideas. Our trustees maintain our policy of independence from political parties and vested interests. We refuse to accept money from public corporations directly linked to policy areas or outcomes.

text: The Project will be carried out by the students of the secondary schools (13-14 years old). At the early stage of the project the students will introduce themselves, describe their schools and the place they live. The main subject of the project will be focused on teenage problems and concerns such as: appearance, future career, schoolwork and grades, friends and friendship, money, going out, helping around the house attitude and behaviour. We will also touch the subject of peer pressure and violence at school. The students from the partner schools will be working as the teams representing their countries. Project will involve a lot of communication activities such as wiki, forum and videoconferences to let our students communicate successfully. They will also take photos, prepare Power Point presentations and write articles. The common products will be visible on twinspace, which will be published.

'Agon' and 'Symphony in Three Movements'For a first-timer...
Posted 20 February 2007 - 04:27 PM
I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself and feel free to be long-winded any time.
Some thoughts on your observations.
When I've seen Parker in Balanchine, he's always looked quite at home in it.
Over the years I've come to the conclusion that Balanchine done "wrong" is like Justice Potter Stewart's attempt to describe pornography in a Supreme Court ruling: "I know it when I see it." Projection or attitude can be fine in Agon, vamping the audience isn't.
The balances in the second pas de trois can be like those in the Rose Adagio - blow them and you've blown the whole thing, so they're nervewracking. And I know Joseph Caley is maybe two years out from graduation at RBS. You get major roles in BRB quite quickly.
Erotic but not crude sounds about right for the pas de deux. There's definitely power exchange there and it would be naive not to find it erotic. But telegraph the effects and the pas de deux loses its mystery.
In the second aria in VC, Martins was almost frightening with Mazzo - he was just so much bigger and that last movement when he bends her neck back has you nervous for a split second.
I remember when Dominic Antonucci was David Howard's protege in NYC (and Robert Parker's wife, Rachel Peppin, was Robert Barnett's in Atlanta). Tempus fugit.
Posted 21 February 2007 - 02:01 AM
Leigh, on the whole there wasn't much wrongness (ummm..... though..... was Sakuma wearing glitter on her eyelashes???). I got the feeling that in the Agon pd2, Roberts was kind of glaring out at the audience with a bit of an 'ice-queen' expression rather than simply dancing. But she did capture what's referred to in the Agon thread as Adams' 'patrician manner' (your words, in fact!).
It's true that watching last night was very instinctive. After reading about Balanchine on this board for years, to finally see these great works for myself was rather daunting because I was afraid that I wasn't going to 'get it'. But yes, I think (hope, after having posted my thoughts) that I could see what was right and wrong.
What was also interesting was to see various choreographic motifs being used in different ways in the three ballets, like that supported walking the women do, reclined right back. It's great to see a different vocabulary being consistently used (another example: promenades linked at the elbow).
Posted 21 February 2007 - 02:38 PM
STRAVINSKY! A CELEBRATION; 21st Feb 07; The Lowry; Birmingham Royal Ballet
1st pd3: Alexander Campbell, Momoko Hirata, Laura Purkiss
This had a rather different, more lyrical character than the first cast, but with no less wit (to match the coda's music: fantastic!).
2nd pd3: Lei Zhao, Rory Mackay, Steven Monteith
I preferred this one to yesterday's: the two men had a more serious, focused manner and there was a sense of tension which I enjoyed. Zhao danced the Sarabande with a sultry feeling that I found very effective.
Pd2: Elisha Willis, Iain Mackay
Both were better cast in this than Violin Concerto. Willis' line was absolutely beautiful and her control was amazing (although there was a very hairy moment during the slow penchee supported by the slowly reclining man: I thought she was going to keel right over). Rather than a feeling of the woman's power, there was a more uneasy uncertainty in Willis: she had less 'patrician manner' and much more vulnerability. Mackay appeared more in control and more of a calming influence on Willis. Over the whole pd2 there hung a sense of impending doom, something huge but which neither was willing to face. Pretty powerful stuff!
Stravinsky Violin Concerto
Aria I: Victoria Marr, Dominic Antonucci
Aria II: Ambra Vallo, Chi Cao
Marr was more appropriate than Willis: she was livelier and appeared more of a match for her partner. She had trouble with the horrible part in the Aria where she has to bend right over backwards into a bridge, which made me realise just how extreme that part is! (Also, doesn't Aroldingen manage to stand back up without support? Wow!) Great energy and very engaging. Her galloping entrance was fantastic!
Antonucci was OK, but he has an awkward carriage to his head, it always looks a bit too forward. He also appeared cautious compared with Robert Parker. Having said that, he caught the spirit of each movement very well.
Vallo was in general quicker than Sakuma yesterday, and also 'showed' certain poses which was nice. She looked a bit self-conscious in the finale, which is so bouncy and childlike (the corps link arms and windmill them, like a children's game).
Cao was...interesting. To be perfectly honest, I didn't like him in this at all. His general demeanour in the 1st movement was WAY too intense: Mackay was serious, but Cao was positively LIVID, face like thunder all the way through.
Symphony in Three Movements
Lei Zhao, Dominic Antonucci
Nao Sakuma, Jamie Bond
Laetitia Lo Sardo (I don't think it was actually, but am not sure), Joseph Caley
Carbro, I took your advice and stayed in the Upper Circle, and I thank you: this ballet looked SO much better from up high. What looked confused yesterday made a lot of sense and the formations were clearer.
The reviews that you pointed me to were also interesting (just read them), and it's good to see that other people make similar associations with war etc. Yesterday the ballet did strike me as being very punchy and martial in its movement. Today I picked up on the marching en pointe.
I'd be interested to know what people think is 'going on' in the pd2 (I will do some searching as well). It's been described as the 'helicopter' and 'Oriental' pd2. I saw it as yet another variety of relationship, tentative and delicate. The raised hand gesture (like 'hands up!') was reminiscent of Oriental dance, but also a gesture of submission. I'd like to see it again, with different dancers, just to get another perspective on it.
So, I think that's all the Balanchine I'll be getting for a while. But this was such a great programme, and it was really exciting to see two completely new works to me. So,
Posted 21 February 2007 - 03:58 PM
Posted 21 February 2007 - 04:05 PM
Oh! Me, too! Thanks for pulling up that memory, Alymer.
I used to love Virginia Johnson of Dance Theatre of Harlem in that . . .
Posted 22 February 2007 - 01:58 AM
Scherzo, I saw the same cast in Birmingham as you saw on 20th February and would say that your comments were spot on! The only difference was that on that occasion the balances in the Agon pas de trois were rock steady. But even so, I thought the cast took it too seriously. I used to love Virginia Johnson of Dance Theatre of Harlem in that; she had a very saucy little twitch of the hips in her solo variation which seemed to me to add a little spice and colour to the event.
Yeah, sorry, I'm always WAY over-critical about balances. I agree that on the 20th the character of the Bransle Gay (I think that's the one you mean?) was a bit lacking. But I thought that in the first pd3 there was a wry quality that suited it very well, especially all the arm-fiddling at the end of the two ladies' variation.
Out of interest, where were you sitting in the (wonderfully purple!) theatre?
A question: one of Balanchine's most-quoted sayings is (something like) 'don't think dear, just do'. How often is this applicable to these ballets? The thing is, with so many potentially symbolic movements (like helicopters in Symphony in Three Movements) and possible scenarios (like the pd2 in Agon), to what extent should a dancer not 'think'?
Posted 22 February 2007 - 06:03 AM
The thing is, with so many potentially symbolic movements (like helicopters in Symphony in Three Movements) and possible scenarios (like the pd2 in Agon), to what extent should a dancer not 'think'?
I think most dancers should avoid "commenting" on their own performances during the performance itself - and that's part of "Don't think, just do." One viewer's helicopter is another viewer's windmill; the audience provides allusions and associations rather than the dancer. There's the famous Tudor story about telling a group of dancers that a certain movement was like wishing upon a morning star, whereupon they all dutifully came forward and wished upon a morning star. There also comes a point in the process of preparing for a role when one needs to let go of it. When you see a dancer who is too controlled in his or her interpretation you'll notice it. Thinking is for rehearsal; the stage needs some spontaneity.
Posted 23 February 2007 - 04:48 AM
Violin Concerto was the only one of these works that I had not seen before and I really enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the cast that was Marr/Antonucci/Vallo/Cao because of the interaction between those four dancers.
My main exposure to Balanchine has been through BRB and I couldn't comment on the technicalities of interpretation except to say that they all looked fine to me.

PlayStation will also enter the Chinese games market with consoles and softwareWritten by: / / No Comments
The next great frontier for the world of gaming is China, it seems, because Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony are all clamouring to claim a slice of the Chinese games market, estimated to be worth a whopping $17.6 billion in 2014.
Now that the videogame console ban has been lifted in China (but with games sold in the region subject to strict content guidelines) both Microsoft and Nintendo have confirmed intentions to release their consoles in China.
Different Strats For Different Stats
As Microsoft readies its Xbox One for release in the region, and Nintendo plans to launch less expensive gaming hardware suitable for the lower income Chinese market, Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed its partnership with the Shanghai Oriental Pearl group to distribute PlayStation consoles and games in China.
While exact details on the sale of PlayStation products haven't been announced yet, it is known that SCE and Shanghai Oriental Pearl will operate two joint ventures, one dealing with consoles and the other software.
One of the ventures has registered capital of ten million yuan ($1.60 million) with Shanghai Oriental Pearl claiming a 51 percent stake in this venture, while the other has registered capital of 43.8 million yuan (roughly $7 million), with Sony taking a 70 percent majority stake.
Competition for the gamers of China seems to be hotting up at an incredible pace. Which strategy do you think will work, though? Can the Xbox One hope to succeed at a high price point, compared to less expensive offerings from Nintendo? Will SCE release a new model of the PlayStation 3 as a lower cost gaming option in the region?
Whatever the case, these three companies will be very keen to get a foothold in the Chinese games market to bring their products to an as-yet untapped revenue source.

I have a C++/Python project that I've been working on and so far have relied on Visual Studio to manage the builds. Now I want to automate the build process, hopefully include multiple platform support (it's all standard C++/Python), and think SCons could be the tool to do the job.
There's a lot of source files involved, in multiple directories, but a (stereo)typical example is as follows:
... etc. ...
... etc. ...
So, in other words, the source files are in a hierarchy, but there's only a single target. (The hierarchy is matched in the namespaces used in the code, but this is superfluous for purposes of this question.)
My question is: What's the best way to structure the SConstruct and SConscript files? I read the SCons documentation, particularly, the Hierarchical Builds section and the idea to use multiple SConscript files with suitable 'SConscript' calls. All seems clear, and particularly neat. However it would seem this is intended for a hierarchy with multiple targets. Can I use this same feature where there's only one target?
(I did think of a top level SConstruct/SConscript file, at least for the library in question, listing all the source file with subdirectories, but doesn't "feel" the best way to do it. Maybe indeed this is the way forward?)
Many thanks in advance for any advice / insight.
