When he turned 75, Cardinal Francis George did what the Roman Catholic Church expects of its bishops. He submitted his resignation so the pope could decide how much longer the cardinal would serve.
George said he hoped Pope Benedict XVI would keep him on as Chicago archbishop for two or three more years. "But, it's up to him, finally," George told WLS-TV in Chicago.
Two years and one surprise papal retirement later, the decision now belongs to Pope Francis.
The pontiff's choice will be closely watched as his first major appointment in the U.S., and the clearest indication yet of the direction he will steer American church leaders.
"Many signals for this relationship between the pontificate and the U.S. church will come from Chicago," said Massimo Faggioli, a professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota who studies the Vatican and the papacy. "I think this is going to be the most important decision by Pope Francis for the U.S. church."
The Archdiocese of Chicago serves 2.2 million parishioners and is the third-largest diocese in the country.
The Chicago church has long been considered a flagship of American Catholicism, sparking lay movements of national influence and producing archbishops who shape national debate. The late Cardinal Joseph Bernadin remains a hero to Catholics who place equal importance on issues such as abortion and poverty. George, who succeeded Bernadin in 1997, is especially admired in the church's conservative wing as an intellectual who helped lead the bishops' fight against the Obama administration's health care overhaul.
Whoever Francis appoints as archbishop is expected to become a cardinal and therefore eligible to vote for the next pope.
George celebrated 50 years as a priest last December with a Mass at Chicago's Holy Name Cathedral that drew bishops from across the country. In January, he turned 77, having recently been treated for a second bout with cancer. But the process of choosing his successor is confidential, so it's not known how much longer he'll serve. George's spokeswoman, Colleen Dolan, said in an email "it could be six months to a year before a change is announced."
Last week, church records released in a settlement with victims raised new questions about how George responded to some abuse cases even after U.S. bishops pledged to keep all guilty clergy out of ministry. The revelations will intensify public scrutiny of the child protection record of George's successor. But it's unclear whether the disclosures would have any impact on the Vatican timeline to replace the archbishop.
With a few exceptions, American bishops who failed to quickly remove accused clergy have remained in office well after details became public. The only U.S. bishop ever convicted for mishandling a case, Bishop Robert Finn of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo., remains on the job.
"It will increase the number of people who will ask that it be sooner rather than later," Dennis Doyle, a University of Dayton theologian, said of the Chicago documents and George's retirement. "Maybe this will hurry it along a little bit, but I don't think by much."
While Francis has been famously breaking protocol since the night he was elected, there are some limits to how unconventional he can be with the Chicago assignment. He'll be choosing among bishops elevated by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI as lieutenants in their campaign to restore orthodoxy. Since his election last March, Francis has argued that the church has been driving away the faithful by emphasizing divisive social issues over compassion and mercy.
Still, in temperament and outlook, the current bishops are hardly carbon copies of the former popes or each other, giving Francis a broader field of candidates than their histories suggest, Doyle said.
"There's quite a bit of diversity," Doyle said. "I think they've done a very good job not displaying that. I think they decided they'd show a unified face in public."
These differences came into view last December, when Francis changed the makeup of the Congregation for Bishops, the Vatican office that evaluates and nominates candidates for bishop worldwide. Francis added Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, who is considered a moderate, while letting go Cardinal Raymond Burke, the outspoken conservative and former St. Louis archbishop. Burke had banned Communion for Catholic politicians who back abortion rights, and said the Democrats risked becoming a "party of death." He is head of the Apostolic Signatura, the highest Vatican court, but his seat on the Congregation for Bishops was what gave him direct influence on appointments.
The Rev. Thomas Reese, author of "Inside the Vatican: The Politics and Organization of the Catholic Church," categorizes the 260 or so active bishops this way: very few liberals, about 30 moderates, and the rest conservatives. Yet, he splits conservatives into two groups: ideological conservatives, who he argues would be unlikely to adopt Francis' gentler tone, and pastoral conservatives.
"Pastoral conservatives are churchmen in the good sense of the word. They're loyal. They grew up in conservative families. They had a conservative education in the seminary. They're trained to be loyal to the pope. Now we've got a new pope," said Reese, an analyst with the National Catholic Reporter. "I think these people will eventually come over to Francis and his way of approaching things."
The vetting will begin, unannounced and behind closed doors, from Washington, as the pope's U.S. ambassador, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, consults with U.S. cardinals and archbishops to choose three nominees. Vigano will write a dossier on each candidate, rank them, then submit the names to the Congregation for Bishops. If the congregation approves, the names will be forwarded to the pope, who can choose from among the three men - or appoint someone else entirely.
Since Francis is less familiar with the U.S. compared to many other nations, he will likely rely more heavily on the advice of U.S. cardinals and others, Faggioli said. Francis is also aware he must tread carefully because of polarization in the U.S. church, Faggioli said. Some U.S. Catholics who had embraced the focus on doctrine under John Paul and Benedict have been alarmed by Francis' criticism that the church is obsessed with "small-minded rules."
Still, Francis has shown little hesitation so far to go his own way.
"Everybody is going to look and know that this is Francis' guy," Reese said. "This is Francis' choice."

text: Farm Income at Record on Expanded Crop Stockpiles February 11, 2013 05:13 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email By Alan Bjerga, Copyright 2013 Bloomberg. U.S. farm income will set a record in 2013, reflecting the anticipated rebuilding of crop reserves depleted by drought that will not be sold until future years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. Net income will climb to $128.2 billion from a revised $112.8 billion last year and $117.9 billion in 2011, the USDA said today in its first farm-profit 2013 forecast. The total includes $16.6 billion for the value of crops not sold by Dec. 1. Excluding unsold crops, cash profit will fall from 2012. Revenue to farmers for crops sold to companies such as Cargill Inc. or Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. will fall 1.5 percent to $216.3 billion, and livestock sales will jump 2.2 percent to $176.5 billion even as cattle herds fall to a 61-year low. "You're going to see production go up, but prices go down, and that will lead to less revenue on corn and soybeans," said Chris Hurt, professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. "There is a lot of optimism right now, and I don't know that the optimism is justified given how low prices could go." Agricultural profits fell last year as the drought devastated crops and forced ranchers to cull herds. Andrew Beck, chief financial officer of Agco Corp., maker of Massey Ferguson tractors, said in a conference call last week that farmer finances should be enough to "support healthy demand" for his company's products. Expenses Rise Expenses will be $249.8 billion, up 5.7 percent from last year, according to the agency. The decline in cash income is a response to the waning drought, as increased production drives prices lower, said Pat Westhoff, director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri. "If you assume normal weather, you have to think that revenue levels for 2013 will be down from 2012," when the drought pushed prices higher and farmers qualified for record insurance payments, Westhoff said. "How much that will affect individual producers will depend on their own individual circumstances." While the drought lingers over much of the Great Plains, rains have improved prospects further east, with Illinois, typically the second-biggest corn producer after Iowa, free of severe dryness, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Planting Acres Hopes for favorable weather will encourage farmers to plant 96 million acres of corn, the most valuable crop, a decline of 0.9 percent from last year, the USDA said today in a separate report. Plantings of wheat, which requires less rainfall, may rise 3.2 percent to 57.5 million acres. Even in areas where soil moisture has been replenished, the effects of the drought may linger in the minds of some farmers, said Bob Young, chief economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington. "It affects people's thinking, and there was so much corn planted last year you may see some acres go to other crops simply because of farmers' rotations," said Young. Other farmers will simply put 2012 behind them, he said. "Corn returns continue to look pretty good," he said. "It's all going to come down to spring rains. If we don't have timely rains, we'll be in trouble." Farm-related income, which includes government-backed crop insurance, will rise 18 percent to a record $31.1 billion, the USDA said. Crop Losses With claims still to be processed, government-subsidized payments from companies including Ace Ltd. and Wells Fargo & Co. for 2012 crop losses have already surpassed $14.2 billion, exceeding the 2011 record of $10.84 billion, the USDA said today. Indemnities may reach $16 billion, then drop to $10.1 billion for this year's crops, according to a congressional estimate. Crop subsidies, excluding insurance assistance, will be $10.9 billion, little changed from last year, the USDA said. Among farmer costs in 2012, feed, the biggest single component of farm spending, is projected to increase 6.3 percent to $67.7 billion. Fertilizers made by Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. and other companies will cost $26.5 billion this year, down 0.4 percent from last year, while seeds from Monsanto Co. and DuPont Co. are up 2.5 percent to $12.7 billion. Agriculture is responsible for about 1.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, according to the department. Today's forecast will be revised by the USDA in August, when the department recalculates its estimates before the harvest of most major crops begins. Back to news

Jessica Chastain's messy Met Louis Vuitton
Some material just doesn't travel well. They say this gown was a production. That it required 200 hours of embroidering. But isn't all that hard work wasted on a dress that appears so wrinkly under the light? You can see a thousand tiny folds and creases all over, up and down, from bust to toe, downgrading every stitch.
To say nothing of the unflattering bulge section right below the waist. Jessica Chastain has no bulges, of course not. So I can't decide if it's a poor construction or if it's that same old satin problem we encounter too often, producing lumps where there are no lumps and bumps where there are no bumps. Louis Vuitton totally failed her here.

As a child I was always desperate to have a dog, I can remember pestering my poor mum time and time again for a puppy. That was in addition to the pony, that I was sure could live in my bedroom – ahhhh the innocence of children!
There is something very special about the unconditional love that both children and dogs give you. You just can't help but feel happy when you are in the presence of happiness itself. Nothing acts as a better pick me up than children laughing just for the sake of it, or a dog having a funny five minutes charging around, simply because it has a burst of energy that it just can't control or contain.
Hannah and Joshua love our Chocolate Labrador Bentley. They love running around the garden with him and Hannah is always keen to come on daily dog walks.
Yesterday I decided to take Bentley and the children for a walk through a park with a wooded area, which is ideal for exploring. The challenge was the undulating path, which was incredibly bumpy in places due to tree roots and once again the Terrain did not disappoint as it made easy work of the woodland floor and steep slopes. The pneumatic tyres are just superb. Knowing how easy they make walking in this kind of environment, I could never go back to any other pushchair.
We are lucky to have some fantastic walks right near the house and the Mountain Buggy Terrain has proved to be invaluable on many occasions. One of Joshua's favorite places is near the river; the water just seems to call him. Maybe he will grow up to be a famous sailor, discovering uncharted waters or perhaps a marine biologist diving in the gorgeous waters of the tropics.
I often look at both Hannah and Joshua and wonder just who they will become and what changes to this world they will make. Ultimately, Iike any parent, I just want them to be happy, to enjoy the wonders of life and be able to treat everything they experience as a gift and an opportunity for growth. That would be an amazing thing indeed…..

Simple yet funky were words used to express what this nice couple aspire to. Their list of adjectives also included: modern but inviting, and whimsical but not crazy. Being part of the Cirque du Soleil family and having to travel extensively around the world requires a low maintenance landscaping. The owners had taken three months to renovate their new home in a cool beach look. A few months later, while they were on vacation, a pipe ruptured on the second level, and the flooding damaged those renovations and more, providing a real seaside effect more suited to the aquatic Las Vegas show O than their home. They courageously pulled up their sleeves to start all over again.
The house didn't lend itself to a modern look, but with clean lines, both in details and landscaping, a contemporary feel could be feasible. Unfortunately, the poorly pruned cedars didn't translate into a desirable curb appeal.
For the siding, I've chosen a neutral medium beachy sand colour using exterior acrylic matte finish paint. New wider steps will cover the width between the two beams. These, the flooring of the porch and better quality Shaker style shutters ought to be painted in the same palette as the walls, but in a darker hue and with a slight sheen finish. The spaces in between the steps and the hollow area under the balcony should be closed off and the contour of the floor as well as the vertical pipes ought to be painted in the same tone as the walls.
All the aluminum components, like horizontal gutters, fascias, soffits, windows and the ceiling of the covered entry space, will have to be refreshed with crisp white matte paint. A new wooden railing, side twin trellises and structural interest inside the main roof angle, made out of 1½'' x 1½'' horizontal square posts, should be opaque stained or painted white in a discrete lustre. For a reminder of the brown roof, the yard fence will adopt that colour in an acrylic latex opaque stain.
The homeowners requested a more modern door that would bring natural light into the entry hall. I suggest replacing the 1970s green bubble glass door and the two long tired shutters beside it with a framed single glass one with two matching windows. Painted in an oxblood tint, this new focal point along with the sleek exterior chocolate hue furniture will enhance the entrance.
The disproportioned nano boxes under the two windows should be respectfully tucked away in the recycling bin.
The new custom-made flower box secured to the fascia of the floor as well as the chunky coffee bean coloured ceramic container will present a cascade of ever blooming lovely apricot and orange annuals.
A pathway as large as the new stairs and another narrower side walkway will define and create a rich setting for the fresh vegetation to come. The removal of the grass will be the first step. Concrete or stained treated wood dividers between the lawn, ground cover and border plantings are necessary to prevent the mixing of various natural elements. The Erica Uva Ursi perennial carpet with its dark green leaves will adorn tiny pinkish white blooms. In the fall, its foliage will turn burgundy and persist throughout winter. Its red berries can also appeal to birds. In a triangular formation, three small decorative Malus will perform in spring showing off their profuse white blossoms. An odd number of salt tolerant Pennisetum Alupecuroides ornamental grasses will gracefully sway in the breeze. A funky trio of vine twig spheres, evoking beach balls, are fixed onto the organic stage. A row of deep wine Berberis along with peach, red and bronze foliage from the Peach Flambé Heucheras will pull the whole scheme together. A Hydrangea Petiolaris, with its clusters of white flowers will climb the wall.
When all the exterior work is finally done, when the rake and shovel are hung in the shed and the back pain has disappeared, it will then be time to enjoy and shout Alegria!
Vegetation (from left to right):
- Malus Sir Lancelot (three trees, scented white blooms)
- Pennisetum Alupecuroides (three to five ornamental grasses)
- Erica spp. Uva Ursi (perennial ground cover, persistent)
- Heuchera Peach Flambé (perennials, border, walkway)
- Berberis Concorde (shrubs, burgundy, hedge porch)
- Calibrachoa Superbells Dreamsicle (cascading annuals, apricot)
- Solenostemon Kingswood Torch (annuals, big brown container)
- Hydrangea Petiolaris (climbing wall, creamy white)

This simple prefab library was built in 7 days
Download and build The Huaxia Star Library is a simple but remarkable building. Built from prefabricated chipboard panels, the modest structure in a rural town in the Chinese province of Hebei was constructed in a single week, by untrained labor.
Wu Qingshan via Dezeen
How, you ask" The project, headed up by Dot Architects, is part of the WikiHouse open source architecture platform, which makes building plans available to the public to download for free. In the case of the Huaxia Star Library, Dot Architects wanted to construct an addition to the Er-tai elementary school that was economical but sturdy, and didn?t require expensive skilled labor to build.
Wu Qingshan via Dezeen
The resulting building resembles other WikiHouse projects with its pitched roof frame that stretches lengthwise like a shotgun house. The 43 volunteers constructed the building from prefab panels that sandwich a layer of insulation. The three identical modules were craned in and then affixed to an erected frame in a staggered layout.
Wu Qingshan via Dezeen
Though the library?s form is relatively basic, it shows how a single WikiHouse blueprint can be used to create entirely different buildings. You can go sleek and modern, full on wood-beamed hygge, or keep it simple like this library.

Making Woven Paper Heart Baskets to Celebrate Santa Lucia Day
Submitted by Pam on Wed, 12/10/2008 - 15:25
I have been wanting to learn to make Danish woven paper heart baskets for years, but always felt intimidated by the instructions available to me. So this Fall, Diane and I spent the day together figuring out how to make them. (Of couse, SHE caught on right away and by the time I had finished my first practice basket, she was already in the middle of constructing a 5-strip basket with variations in the strip widths.) Sigh!
I thought I'd share the process of making a basic three-strip basket with you...
Before we begin: I have tried to write this as if you and I are sitting together at my craft table and I am showing you step by step. This project may seem a little tricky at first, but just be patient and follow the photos and instructions slowly, one step at a time. Once you have completed the first one, you will understand the trick to the weaving process. And... you will be addicted to making them!
Hang them on your tree and place little treats inside. A great gift for young and old alike when they come to visit.
Added November 2012!!
Once you have mastered the weaving process described in this tutorial, you might want to check out these pretty ways to "dress-up" your hearts or these ways to make heart baskets with recycled paper.
Wrapping paper or letter weight crafting paper in two colors
Elmer's or Aleene's Tacky glue
Select two pieces of paper in contrasting colors. Although white and red is traditional in Norway, I am using colors that will show up better in photographs.
Measure and cut a strip 3" wide and 9" long from each piece of paper.
Fold each strip of paper exactly in half crosswise, as shown.
Place a 3" diameter biscuit cutter on the OPEN end of the folded papers. Use a pencil to trace the outline of the biscuit cutter onto the paper to create a half circle. (Or, you can draw the half-circle freehand.)
Normally, I would draw my lines very lightly, but for this tutorial I am drawing them dark so you can see them! Cut along the curved lines you have drawn. Again, be sure you are cutting the curve on the open end of the paper.
In the steps that follow, you will be dividing each folded piece into three 1" strips. You'll be cutting these strips most of the way across each piece, leaving those rounded ends un-cut. To help you gauge how far in to cut your strips, place one piece over the other, as shown. The cut lines you'll be making in the coming steps should be 3/8" longer than the point where these two pieces overlap. (When you've read the rest of the steps, this should make more sense.)
So, as we just discussed, mark three 1" strips on each piece of paper, and draw them on the paper. See how these lines begin at the fold and end in the curved edges? Now you are ready to cut! Reminder: The curved edge is on the OPEN end and the lines are drawn from the FOLDED end.
Cut through both layers of paper along the lines you drew, beginning at the fold and cutting toward the curve.
For your first basket, you may want to number the strips as shown above. (Once you have made your first basket, you will not need to number the strips again - it just helps you with learning the process.) Lay the two folded paper pieces in front of you on the work table in the position shown above. (Don't worry if those numbers are hard to see here - they'll be clearer in the coming photos.)
Slip strip #1 between the top and bottom layers of strip #4.
Now, slip strip #5 between the top and bottom layers of strip #1.
When you have completed the first two weaving steps, your "heart" will look like this.
Now slip strip #1 in between the two layers of strip #6.
Congratulations! You have completed the first row! And it should look like this!
To weave the second row, begin by slipping strip #4 between the top and bottom layers of strip #2. (See how I had to slide the two halves of the heart into different positions so that I could manuver my second row of weaving in?)
Now slip strip #2 between the top and bottom layers of strip #5.
Slip strip #6 between the layers of strip #2. Your "heart" will now look like this. (And the weaving pattern begins to emerge!)
Now that you have finished weaving the second row, slide the woven strips down toward the curved ends of the heart until they can go no further. This will give you some "wiggle room," which you'll need in order to weave the last row. Weaving the last row can be a little "fiddly," but just go slowly and be patient while you get the feel of it.
Slip strip #3 between the layers of strip #4. You will need to gently bend the strip in order to do this. As you can see, the first two rows of weaving are being held in place by your other hand.
Pull strip #3 through strip #4 and flatten it back out. Your heart will now look like this.
Place strip #5 between the layers of strip #3. Stay with me! You're almost done!
Finally, slip strip #3 between the layers of strip #6. This is probably the most fiddly step, so it may feel a little awkward. Keep working with it until it falls into place.
TaaaaaaDaaaaaaa! You did it! All the strips are woven together. A couple more little steps and you are done.
Holding the curved tops of each side of the heart, gently pull them outward so that the edges of the heart become nice and even.
Now to add a handle. Cut a strip of paper about 8" long and between 3/4" to 1" wide. Glue each end of this strip to the inside of the woven heart, as shown. If you are thinking of putting little treats inside, then you may want to also tape down each end of the handle on the inside of the basket with some clear tape.
Make a couple more three-strip baskets to get the process down, and then you're ready to make a four-strip basket, like the one on the right. It is constructed exactly the same way, except that you divide those initial pieces of folded paper into four strips instead of three.
You can make hearts that are smaller or larger by using a copier to enlarge or reduce the template in this tutorial.
Try making heart baskets with patterns and different colors if you wish. Craft stores and scrapbooking outlets have so much to offer as inspiration. (Just be sure to stick to lighter weight papers.) Embellish with whatever your heart desires - from sequins to buttons, to beads..... Fill your baskets with cookies, candy, small gifts, baubles, or even dried flowers.
Have fun! And thank you for crafting with me today!

They give great written tutorials but there are no pictures, so I thought ok..I'll Google Swedish Heart Baskets and I found your link. I said "what do you know" the link is yours.

It is close to Valentine's Day over here in America and I am searching for some ideas on cards. I saw this immediately and thought I would give it a try. It looks like it's make mostly for the winter holidays but I guess it would work for Valentine's Day right?
I just have some questions...
Regular paper would be able to hold tiny yet heavy objects correct?
By increasing the length and width it wouldn't make much of a difference except that the basket would be larger, am I right?
Sadly, I don't have any round items and I'm not that great at drawing rounds shapes so that part would be troublesome for me.
Once again thank you for the tremendous instructions on how to create this. It was very helpful!

I continue to put these same, old hearts on our tree. I particularly liked the shiney gold paper because we burn candles on our Christmas tree and the gold catches the light. For years I have wondered how I made them.
I now have two grandchildren and I think they will enjoy learning to make the hearts. Your instructions are just what I needed. As I took the ornaments off of the tree today I realized that the internet would probably have directions. Thanks again. Sara
This is a FANTASTIC recipe

This is a FANTASTIC recipe for success! I've just made 5 on the trot (without handles) and stuck each one onto a door of the house with Blue Tack (5 pieces - one on each round bit and two down the middle). They look brilliantly festive and even better - each one is big enough to hold two chocolates!!! (The reason for all the Blue Tack!) THANK YOU PAM! Merry Christmas to all.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful instructions. My maternal grandmother had these all over her Christmas Tree. She was a 100% Norwegian. My mother was ill for the majority of my childhood,thus I never learned how to make these beautiful heart baskets. I am so thrilled to have clear instructions. With heartfelt gratitude, Carla (my one and only niece found these for me)

Thank you so much for these clear directions! I had been admiring a juletre in VIKING magazine and wanted to copy it this Christmas. I had tried to make the woven hearts years ago without success but thought I would give it one more try and you explained it so that I could understand it and do it. My adult daughters and I will have fun when they come home from school for the holidays.

Thank you so much. I have always wondered how to make these baskets. Growing up my grandma always made these for Easter baskets for myself and all the other grandkids and would fill them with candy and hide them around her house with the names on them. It is such a special memory. I have two little boys now and I want to start making them for their Easter baskets. I will have to make her one and mail it this year to show her what it meant to me and what fun memories I have from that.

I continue to train using sets of 50s to hold best possible pace, keeping my HR mostly under 160 and my water feel engaged sustaining effective stroke technique. I have learned from experience during the recent two years I must allow rest, recovery, and patiently develop the steady adaptation of the cardiovascular and muscular systems, and in particular the neurological process which involves the kinetic feel of the water.
Towards the end of Set 1, when doing the 4 rounds of 3x50 on :40 desc 1-3, the first 50 FR would be a very light effort, holding the water, streamlined kick, all stroke aspects flowing smoothly. However the next two 50s would require more effort as my feel for the water degraded. Each round, with a moment of rest, the stroke came back again. For now on short rest intervals, 3-4 rounds with short recovery moments, then again swim at target pace with quality technique and feel for the water.
The good news in Set 2 is that I finally achieved some reasonable speed swimming fast 25s with the drag suit. During the 4 rounds of 3x25s on 1:00, today was the first time doing 25 fly at 14s, Back 25s at 15s, and Freestyle 25s at 13. These are solid results, leaving on the :00, getting the time after the hand touch. My breast for now is pretty is even weaker than normal because my kick almost non-existent.
I did FR in set 3 with the snorkel-fins-large agility paddles, as a series of steady swims to practice each arm extension forward beginning the pull by keeping the elbow still, then sweeping the hand-forearm directly under as the shoulder is simultaneously pulled and rotated over bringing the body forward to the point where the hand is now extended behind near the hip into the exit/recover stage.
