Red Sox struggles continue; seven games under .500 after Friday night
IF YOU'RE looking for a reason to feel good about the Red Sox, head to Manchester and buy yourself a ticket to Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. The Portland Sea Dogs are there to face the Fisher Cats for a couple more days, and Boston's Double-A affiliate entered Saturday night having won 10 of 11. They're dominating the Eastern League. They're loaded with talent. They're exciting.
Whatever you do, though, don't turn your eyes to Tampa - at least not with an expectation that you'll like what you see if you're rooting for the guys in the road grays, who in contrast to their farm-league counterparts, have recently been dominated in the American League, have called their collective talent into question, and have been playing a rather drab brand of baseball.
It's a little early yet to label them a bad baseball team. They've still got two-thirds of a season to change course. But that's certainly the way it's trending, as the club found itself seven games under .500 after losing its eighth straight on Friday night.
Since 1901, only 16 Sox teams have been worse through 47 games, and only one (Kevin Kennedy's 1996 squad) has started worse since 1966. No team in franchise history has ever made the playoffs when having lost more than they've won by that juncture, and looking forward, Boston would need to go 71-44 starting with Saturday evening's tilt at Tropicana Field just to match the 91 wins that positioned the Rays to be the AL's second wild card last season.
That'd be demanding a .617 winning percentage from a team that's yet to win as many as three in a row. That's been brutal (10-21) against right-handed starters. That's struggled mightily (10-17) at home. That through Friday owned the third-worst run differential (minus-23) in the league.
When things are going this poorly it's impossible to blame individual players or even particular facets that have failed, so, with recognition of the skid they took into Saturday, let's take a look at eight areas and aspects that have been killing the Sox as of late, and where improvement might spur a reawakening:
* The starting pitching had a bad turn the last time through the rotation, but Boston's bats are equally at fault. After being blanked for a third straight Friday, the Sox had scored 16 runs over an eight-game stretch, and with that had slid to 12th in the AL in runs per game for the season (3.94). Their on-base percentage remains in the middle of the pack, and they still hit a fair amount of doubles, but they're below average in pretty much every other offensive category.
John Lackey
's seven shutout innings showed at the start of this series, even when the pitching has been decent - or even good - the offense still hasn't been able to support it.
*Much has been made of the Sox leaning on a few inexperienced pieces. But the biggest problem with the club's roster construction appears not to be its youth, but it's lack of prime-age players. Opinions vary, but it's generally agreed that a hitter's best years fall somewhere in the range of 27-31 - yet no AL team had fewer plate appearances from players in that age group than the Red Sox' 535 entering Saturday, or a lower OPS than the Sox' .654 from those players.
For the Sox, hitters in that age bracket include
Mike Carp
(age 27),
Jonathan Herrera
Dustin Pedroia
Daniel Nava
(31) and
Grady Sizemore
(31) - so one starter, two backups, a platoon player, and a demoted outfielder.
Not ideal.
Shane Victorino
reinjured his hamstring Friday, it's worth wondering if that ailment could precipitate a significant move the way
Will Middlebrooks
' broken finger led to the reacquisition of
Stephen Drew
. The Sox outfield sure could use a boost, as the club entered Saturday with the lowest OBP (.291), second-lowest batting average (.220) and OPS (.630), as well as the third-fewest homers (nine) among AL units at those positions.
*A quick way for the Sox to improve their options in the outfield, plus their depth and perhaps their lacking athleticism, could be moving on from Jonathan Herrera and adding a player with the ability to play anywhere. Herrera's two starts and eight plate appearances since April 26 say he doesn't have his manager's trust, and his ability to play shortstop is of less value once Drew is ready, so the Sox should find a way to better use his roster spot.
*It's tough to question the toughness of the players - so we'll question the wisdom. Pedroia and
Mike Napoli
both returned to the lineup quickly after straining a wrist and breaking a finger, respectively, though might the team have been better if they'd been given time to heal? Pedroia entered Saturday with a career-worst .394 slugging percentage and two homers. Napoli hadn't homered since April 22, and admits the finger still hurts. Those guys hit in the heart of the order on a team lacking for power - and it shows.
*They're not hitting for power or average. And the Sox aren't doing the little things, either. Through Friday, the Sox had executed only six of 13 sacrifice bunt attempts (third-worst in the AL), scored only 45 percent of runners on third with less than two outs (second-worst) and advanced only 41 percent of runners from second with nobody out (worst). Only 25 percent of outs made have been productive in nature - also tied for league-worst.
*Between May 15 and Friday, the Red Sox bullpen had recorded 104 outs - only eight of them while pitching with a lead. Over that same span the club led for just half an inning (the bottom of the second last Sunday), and entering Saturday its staff had gone into only 496 of 1,838 (27 percent) pitching with a lead. That's not good for a team that was 5-22 when the opponent scored first, and 2-22 when trailing through six innings.
Clay Buchholz
's 6.34 began Saturday as the second-worst ERA among qualifying big-league pitchers, and though he insists he's healthy, the numbers say something is wrong - and so the Sox should put him on the DL to determine what that is. If they're going to recover from this start they're going to need Buchholz, and need him to be right. So send him to the minors and let him figure it out in a rehab assignment.
Heck, send him to Portland and let him see what a good team looks like.

Rabbi Shmuel Wolfman writes the Torah as Westchester Assemblymember Richard Brodsky looks on.
Clinton temple marks 150 years with Torah writing
By Albert Amateau
Full of pride and joy, members and friends of Congregation Chasam Sopher celebrated the completed first phase of the restoration of the 150-year-old synagogue at 6 Clinton St. on Wed., Sept. 8 and the beginning of a 12-month writing of a new Torah scroll.
The gathering included government and business luminaries, rabbis of several Lower East Side Orthodox synagogues, neighborhood preservation advocates and longtime members of the congregation.
For Eugene Weiser, president of the congregation, whose late father, Morris Weiser, was responsible for reviving a dwindling group of worshippers 35 years ago, it was especially poignant.
My father would have loved to see this, he said, overcome for a moment with emotion. Him and my brother are watching from upstairs.
Hank Sopher, the developer who became Congregation Chasam Sophers main benefactor in 1976, recalled how he was inspired by Morris Weisers devotion. Sopher is funding the complete restoration of the synagogue, expected to be finished by next year, and is also paying for the writing by hand of a new scroll.
Sopher said he had discovered that his family is descended from the 19th-century rabbinical scholar Moshe Schreiber, for whom the congregation was named in 1891. Schreiber in German means scribe, which translates into Hebrew as sopher. Moshe Schrieber was popularly known as Chasam Sopher.
Originally built in 1853 by a German Reform Jewish congregation that moved uptown in 1891, the Clinton St. building was then acquired by two orthodox congregations that merged to form Chasam Sopher.
Hank Sopher proudly told the gathering on Wednesday that even during the 1970s when the congregation was struggling and the building was decaying, the synagogue was secure. We havent had a break-in in 35 years, he said, partly because of our wonderful police, and partly because of the people who live here and watch out for the building because Chasam Sopher is such a respected part of the neighborhood. For that reason, Sopher said, the restoration project will include an adjacent neighborhood park open to the public.
Irma Lobell, a resident of Penn South in Chelsea, became involved with the congregation because she worked for Hank Sopher 35 years ago when the synagogue was struggling. Morris Weiser used to pull them off the street for a minyan [a quorum of 10 men required for a service], she recalled, adding that Eugene Weiser was his fathers constant companion.
Rabbi Azriel Siff conducts daily prayers at the synagogue where minyans are always on hand these days. Siff introduced Rabbi Shmuel Wolfman, the sopher who will write the scroll, which will be used in services at the synagogue.
Wolfman, 54, a father of seven children and grandfather of three, lives in Manhattan and is one of about 60 sophers in the U.S. and about 300 in the world. A secular Jew born in Russia, Wolfman emigrated at the age of 20 to Israel with his wife.
I didnt know anything about religion, he recalled. I wanted to go to Calcutta to study yoga, but it took three years for exit visas and by that time we had a baby, so we went to Israel, he said. In Jerusalem, he met a Russian-speaking rabbi, Yitzchak Zilber, who influenced him. To learn a trade to support his family, he apprenticed himself to a great Jewish calligrapher, Rabbi Abraham Snee.
Wolfman, said he became interested in the craft of the sopher because of its beauty its energy.
The scroll of the first five books of the Bible is written according to rules prescribed by oral tradition. The ink is made from the outer bark of a wasps nest, the quill from a goose or turkey feather. Mostly turkey because goose quills are hard to find, said Wolfman. The velum upon which it is written is made from the skin of a calf slaughtered for food.
Wolfman will do the writing in the downstairs sanctuary of the building for several hours each day except for the Sabbath and holidays. The synagogue will be open to people who want to see the scribe writing the scroll. Visitors who want one of the 304,805 letters of the Torah inked in their honor will be asked for donations, which will go towards the restoration of the 1853 building.
The celebration on Wednesday attracted such luminaries as Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, City Councilmember Alan Gerson, Assemblymember Richard Brodsky of Westchester, Judge Jerome M. Becker and Howard Rubenstein, founder of Rubenstein Associates public relations.

Selena Gomez: My Career Is Too Important To Waste It On Getting Drunk
A source close to the girls on the 'Spring Breakers' set tells HollywoodLife.com that Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson weren't bullying Selena Gomez, but they do love to party more than the 19-year-old starlet!
Selena Gomez isn't getting bullied by her friends, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson on the set of Spring Breakers — but she may be going through some peer pressure, which she isn't bending into, a source close to the group of girls tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
"I would be shocked if Vanessa or Ashley was 'bullying' anyone, especially Selena," the insider begins. "They are both really sweet girls. I do know Selena isn't as fast moving as them, but you have to remember she's also younger."
That said, Selena, 19, might not always feel comfortable with the choices Ashley, 22, and Vanessa, 23, make in their off time.
"V and Ashley both love to have a good time, which includes some partying, and Selena isn't really interested in all that," our source says. "She has too much on the line. The way she looks at it, her career is more important than getting drunk."
Adds the source, "But I wouldn't say Ashley and Vanessa are partying their careers away either…they get their work done and do it well. If anything happened on set, it was probably that Selena felt pressure to be 'cooler' or whatever."
We're proud of Selena for sticking to her guns when it comes to partying. Most young celebrities don't care about following rules, but she does — it's admirable.

Wall Street banks are expanding holdings of speculative-grade bonds as prices fall from record highs with investors retreating from exchange-traded funds that buy the debt.
The 21 primary dealers that do business with the Federal Reserve increased their net positions in junk-rated debt by 37% to $7.7 billion in the two weeks ended May 15, the highest since the central bank started reporting more detailed holdings data for the period ended April 3. U.S. high-yield funds reported $400 million of withdrawals last week, the second-most this year, led by $520 million pulled from ETFs, according to Bank of America Corp.
"ETFs tend to be the driver of big volume," Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia, said in a telephone interview. The job of a dealer "is to buy bonds when people want to sell," he said.
The dealers are soaking up supply as firms from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to Barclays Plc predict demand will return. Even with banks facing new limits on risk-taking and higher capital requirements since the credit crisis, the pullback from investors is prodding them to act in their traditional roles of facilitating trading with their own money as they underwrite an unprecedented volume of new speculative-grade debt.
Prices Drop
The average price for junk bonds in the U.S. has fallen 1.06 cents to 106.2 cents on the dollar after reaching a record 107.2 on May 9, Bank of America Merrill Lynch Index data show. Shares of the biggest high-yield ETF, BlackRock Inc.'s $15.8 billion iShares iBoxx High-Yield Corporate Bond Fund, declined 1.2% to $94.89 during the period as outstanding shares in the fund dropped 2.1%, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Speculative-grade borrowers issued $17.2 billion of new debt in the week ended May 17, the most since March 22, as they sought to take advantage of a fifth year of benchmark interest rates held at about zero, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Junk bonds are rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service and lower than BBB- at Standard & Poor's.

Hey everyone thanks for all the replies. I had to log in to realize I had so many. I'm going to tackle this with food. I agree meat is the fastest route to success I just have to have it super soft. She has barely 4 teeth and chokes on food pieces more often than she gums them down. So maybe grass fed ground beef is the way to go because I can buy small quantity by the pound at whole foods. If its grass fed we shouldn't be facing the kind of tummy issues you get with lower quality beef right? I don't like red meat so this is out of my territory for the last 20 years. But I don't mind making it for her.
I've assembled an arsenal of whole fruits and veg with iron. Meat is going to be the quicker path but since I give her fruits and veg I may as well pick based on iron content. I'm bringing back egg yolk too now that she likes it. And I'm wondering about soaked rolled oats, a little blackstrap molasses and a puréed fruit with vit c. I avoid oats, grains etc but if they're soaked they seem ok and I'm just trying to have options, especially easy ones.

SOCHI, Russia — Meryl Davis and Charlie White won the gold medal in ice dance Monday, the first Olympic title in the event for the United States.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada, the 2010 champions, took silver. Russia's Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov captured bronze.
Davis and White won silver in Vancouver, but in the four years since have overtaken the Canadians, their training partners in Detroit.
The Americans scored 116.63 points in the free dance to finish with 195.52, 4.53 ahead of Virtue and Moir.
After a near-flawless performance to "Sheherazade," Davis rested her head on White's back in exhausted elation.

Aside from attending the Board of Trustees' meetings in the fall and spring, interns are privileged to represent the student body at a variety of functions with the Senior Staff, including The Bucknell Forum, and other campus-wide events. Interns have often been called upon to research specific topics or questions related to the president's current work or parts of The Plan for Bucknell. Projects have included research and reports relating to property taxes assessed to a downtown bookstore, the student population and its demographics, the Board of Trustees, intellectual property and improving the president's website.
Division of Communications
The Division of Communications works to elevate Bucknell's reputation as one of the top undergraduate liberal arts universities in the nation and to build strong relationships between the University and its constituencies. It achieves this by sharing stories of students, faculty, staff and alumni in various mediums. The division is responsible for the design and production of all institutional print publications, mail services, the University website, news and media relations, institutional photography, institutional videos, the Watch Bucknell video channel, electronic publications such as e-newsletters for alumni and parents, and Bucknell Magazine.
The division works especially closely with the Office of Admissions, the Division of Development and Alumni, and the Office of the President on electronic and print publications, presentations, media relations, and events for audiences ranging from prospective students to donors. It also supports the Bucknell Forum, a national speakers series that regularly attracts to campus high-profile guests that have included John Legend, Jonah Lehrer, F.W. de Klerk, and many more.

Interns in this position work closely with housing services, the gereral counsel and the Lewisburg mayor, as well as many other key players in the town-gown relations arena. Work in the Office of Housing Services is flexible to student schedules and highly rewarding.

Derrell Armstrong Named BCBSNC Blue Chip Performer
Related Links
GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG men's basketball senior guard Derrell Armstrong (Mechanicsville, Md./Allegany CC) has been named this week's Blue Chip Performer sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. The Blue Chip Performer is chosen weekly from all sports in season and runs throughout the 2012-13 UNCG athletics campaign.
Armstrong paced the Spartans over the past two games averaging 22.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game against Lees-McRae and Western Carolina. He shot 53.1 percent (17-of-32) from the field and hit 4-of-10 (40%) from three-point land on the week while also converting 6-of-8 (75%) from the charity stripe.
Armstrong opened the week with 19 points and six rebounds in the Spartans' victory at Lees-McRae. He connected on 8-of-12 from the field in 25 minutes of action as he made his third start of the year. He followed that performance up Saturday with a 25-point effort at Western Carolina for the short-handed Spartans in a 62-59 loss in Cullowhee.
Armstrong had a potential game-tying three-pointer hit the back of the rim as time expired, narrowly missing a chance to send the game into overtime. He scored 19 of his game-high 25 points in the second half when he was 7-of-14 from the field in the frame. His 25 points scored are tied for his season-high as he posted a 25-point effort earlier in the year against Rutgers.
Armstrong is second on the team and third in the Southern Conference in scoring, averaging 16.6 points per game. He has scored in double figures in 11 of 13 games this year, including four games of at least 21 points.

A biopsy is the removal of a small area of tissue. The sample is then looked at under a microscope to see if there are any abnormal cells.
A biopsy may be taken from any part of the body.
Reasons for Procedure
A biopsy may be done to look for the cause of unexplained:
- Infection
- Swelling
- Growth
It may be done as part of the diagnosis or to find out more details about a condition. For example, a biopsy may be done to determine if cancer is present. It may also show what type of cancer it is and how it may react to certain treatments.
Biopsies are not for cancer alone. There are a number of other medical conditions are diagnosed with a biopsy such as:
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review problems that may happen, like:
- Excessive bleeding
- Pain
- Infection
- Scarring
- Results that are difficult to interpret
Smoking may increase the risk of complications.
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Talk to your doctor about your medication. You may be asked to stop taking some medications before the procedure.
Avoid eating or drinking after midnight if you are going to have general anesthesia.
The type of anesthesia needed will depend on what tissue you are having removed. Options include:
- General anesthesia—given through an IV to block pain and keep you asleep through the biopsy.
- Local anesthesia—will numb the area where the tissue is used. More common for skin biopsy.
Description of the Procedure
The exact steps will depend on the type of biopsy that you are having. For example:
- Needle biopsy—a thin needle is injected into an area to remove cells.
- Aspiration biopsy —a hollow needle uses suction to remove cells.
- Core needle biopsy —a sample of tissue is removed using a hollow core needle that has a special cutting edge.
- Vacuum-assisted biopsy —a number of samples of tissue are taken using a special rotating probe.
- Endoscopic biopsy —a long, thin tube is passed to the area. Tools can pass through the tube to remove tissue.
- Incisional biopsy —a portion of a growth is cut out.
- Excisional biopsy —a growth is completely removed, such as a breast lump.
- Punch biopsy —a sample with multiple layers of skin is removed with a special tool.
- Skin biopsy —a small piece of skin is cut off with a scalpel.
- Shave biopsy —top layers of skin are shaved off with a special blade.
- Bone marrow biopsy —a long needle passes into bone to collect marrow cells.
How Long Will It Take?
A simple biopsy will usually only takes a few minutes. A biopsy involving surgery takes longer. It may also be part of a larger surgery.
How Much Will It Hurt?
You may have pain in the area where the sample was removed. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You will be able to go home after a simple biopsy. If your biopsy involved surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days.
Post-procedure Care
Recovery will depend on how much tissue was removed and where it is located. It may take 2-10 days for the results of the biopsy. Your doctor will discuss the results with you. Some results include :
- Normal tissue, no abnormalities
- Irritated tissue
- Not normal, but difficult to interpret
- Not normal, not cancerous, but a precancerous condition
- Cancer
- Inconclusive
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications, such as:
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the biopsy site
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Pain that you cannot control with the medication you have been given
- New or worsening symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

No. 8 Louisville wears down Cincinnati, 67-51
No. 8 Louisville wears down Cincinnati, 67-51
Mar. 05, 2013
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Rick Pitino was noticeably hoarse in acknowledging his 300th victory with Louisville on Monday night, no doubt caused by all his yelling at the eighth-ranked Cardinals to carry out the cornerstone defensive strategy that has made him successful.
Judging from Louisville's second-nature execution in a 67-51 defeat of Cincinnati, Pitino probably could have saved his voice. The Cardinals forced the Bearcats into a season-high 21 turnovers, several coming during a 25-7 run over a 10:03 stretch in the second half.
A game once tied at 37 was soon a 62-44 Louisville lead that culminated in the Cardinals' sixth straight win and a postgame video tribute to Pitino.
"The biggest question I got tonight from the media was coming off such an emotional game, could you be on top of it?" said Pitino, referring to the carryover from Saturday's 58-53 victory at Syracuse. "I said, 'Without question.' It's been the M.O. of this team all year. They haven't let down one time. We've lost, but we've brought it every game. That was a very good defensive performance."
Louisville (25-5, 13-4 Big East) drew within one-half game of first-place Georgetown, which plays at Villanova on Wednesday. Besides forcing turnovers, the Cardinals held Cincinnati to 7-of-24 shooting (29 percent) in the second half and 18 of 51 overall (35 percent).
Missing all seven 3-point attempts after hitting 6 of 14 in the first half was also frustrating for the Bearcats, though not as much as their errors.
"We had no chance to win because we turned the ball over 21 times," said Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin, a Cardinals assistant in 2002 and 2003.
Louisville converted Cincinnati's mistakes into 23 points, keying an offensive effort in which the Cardinals outscored the Bearcats 42-16 in the paint.
Russ Smith scored 18 points and Peyton Siva and Gorgui Dieng added 11 each for Louisville, which shot 48 percent (28 of 58) including 13 of 24 in the second half.
"Everybody's playing great right now," Siva said. "This is like Louisville every year. Coach P gets us going like this every year. All that hard work is finally paying off."
Cashmere Wright scored 15 points and Sean Kilpatrick and JaQuan Parker had 12 each for the Bearcats, who lost for the sixth time in eight games. Cincinnati lost their second straight to Louisville, which beat the Bearcats in last year's Big East tournament's championship game en route to a Final Four berth.
That defense defined the game was no surprise for these Big East rivals separated by about 100 miles.
Despite their recent slump, the Bearcats still rank in the top 30 in field goal defense (18th, 38.5 percent) and scoring (28th, 59.2 per game).
Louisville remained one of the top defensive teams, ranking third in steals per game (10.7) and turnover margin (plus-6). The Cardinals were coming off Saturday's 58-53 win over No. 12 Syracuse, where both teams shot 36 percent; Louisville won it by outscoring Syracuse's bench 22-15, hitting a couple more 3-pointers and taking 12 more free throws.
That victory moved Louisville up two spots in the latest poll, and the Cardinals' objective was using familiar home surroundings to boost their offense.
Their plan worked for the most part in the first half, as the Cardinals shot a respectable 44 percent (15 of 34) and outscored the Bearcats 22-8 in the paint. Louisville moved the ball around well and it helped Siva bounce back from a scoreless game at Syracuse, as he scored all of his points on five field goals including a 3-pointer.
Louisville's defense was key, scoring 12 points off 12 turnovers while holding Cincinnati to 11-of-27 shooting (41 percent). The Bearcats' 3-point shooting helped them stay close and trail just 35-31 at halftime.
A 13-9 run over the final 7:12 of the half provided Louisville's cushion, but that disappeared early in the second half as the Cardinals went nearly 5 minutes without a field goal. Cincinnati rallied to tie the game at 37 by the first media timeout.
Louisville followed with a 9-1 run that eventually became a 60-44 lead. Everybody contributed, with the bench outscoring Cincinnati's reserves 19-6.
As Pitino added another achievement to go along with his 650th career victory earned earlier this season at South Florida, he took satisfaction in this one because the Cardinals are playing the way they need to at this point in the season.
"All the parts are coming together, and it is what we hoped," Pitino said. "I like our team right now."

By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict on Saturday started a new Vatican department to promote the study and use of Latin in the Roman Catholic Church and beyond.
The old-style Latin Mass was phased out more than 40 years ago in favor of local languages, but the pope is giving it another try. Latin remains the official language of the universal church.
The Vatican said the pope had instituted the Pontifical Academy for Latin Studies, placing it under the auspices of the Vatican's ministry for culture.
In his letter announcing the new department, the pope said that Latin was the subject of renewed interest around the world and the purpose of the academy was to encourage further growth.
He said Catholic seminarians studying for the priesthood were weak in studies of the humanities in general and Latin in particular. They would benefit from a deeper knowledge of the language and be able to read ancient Church texts in the original.
It was the latest attempt by a string of modern-day popes to give the ancient language a boost.
In 1962, Pope John XXIII published "Veterum Sapientia" a document aimed at promoting the study of Latin, and in 1976 Pope Paul VI started the Latin Foundation and its quarterly "Latinitas". But those ventures met with mixed results at best.
"It appears necessary to support a commitment to a greater understanding of the use of Latin, both in the Church and in the greater world of culture," Pope Benedict wrote in the letter setting up the academy.
The new academy's statutes, written of course in Latin, say its goal is to promote both written and spoken Latin through publications, conferences, seminars and performances.

With the London Olympics almost an Usain Bolt sprint away now, everybody seems to be getting into a sporty mood - even if they would rather deny it. They might not want to sit through the 24 channels of live footage the BBC is promising, or be forced to feed on a diet of McDonalds paid for by Visa card in the Olympic village, while quaffing their $7.20 pint of Heineken, but they're doing their bit in their own way.
And what better way than to take part in some form of sporting activity? Jogging, running, throwing or jumping using apps created by Nike or Samsung? Surely, that's the best way to feel part of it? Surely there is no way better than that?
Well, there is. You could always stand filming someone doing all of those things instead. And you can do it with one hand, so you don't even need to put down your Big Mac...
Coach's Eye
- Format
- iPhone (version tested), iPad, iPod touch
- Price
- £2.99
- Where
- iTunes
Coach's Eye is one of the mind-bogglingly brilliant ideas that's so simple you can't help cursing that you didn't think of it first. It basically adds a layer over the iPhone's (or iPad's) video recording functionality that allows you to scribble over footage or slow it down. And while these both seem simple features, when coupled with sports training, they can be invaluable.
The whole point of the app, you see, is to allow trainers and sporting types to record their wards/themselves doing what they do best. Then they can study the footage carefully, adding annotations and voiceovers as they go, all in order to improve their performance and/or technique.
For example, we tried it out at a golf range where a family member filmed our golf swing (not on our own phone, hence the absence of screengrabs of our awful positioning. Er...). Then, we could watch it afterwards, adding notes along the way.
As well as a slow motion mode, the video can also be scrolled through frame by frame using a flywheel, so you can be really accurate and precise. And after you're done, you can have your iPhone render the final result with annotations and vocal additions in place.
That's not even the end of it. Coach's Eye also has a wealth of sharing options with which you can post and share your end video in several ways. If you are assessing the clip remotely for an athlete far away, you can send them the final result instantly by email or text message. You can post them directly to YouTube, on Facebook or through third-party apps such as Dropbox and Evernote. And, of course, you can save the rendered version to the camera roll.
While not everybody will get full use out of Coach's Eye, it's a no-brainer for sports enthusiasts and professionals alike. As long as one of them owns an iOS device, of course.
On that note, developer TechSmith has recently announced that it is working on a similar application for Android called Cyclops. You can even try out the Beta version of the software for yourself.

18 U.S. Code § 3599 - Counsel for financially unable defendants
prev | next
§ 3599.
Counsel for financially unable defendants
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, in every criminal action in which a defendant is charged with a crime which may be punishable by death, a defendant who is or becomes financially unable to obtain adequate representation or investigative, expert, or other reasonably necessary services at any time either—
after the entry of a judgment imposing a sentence of death but before the execution of that judgment;
shall be entitled to the appointment of one or more attorneys and the furnishing of such other services in accordance with subsections (b) through (f).
In any post conviction proceeding under section 2254 or 2255 of title 28, United States Code, seeking to vacate or set aside a death sentence, any defendant who is or becomes financially unable to obtain adequate representation or investigative, expert, or other reasonably necessary services shall be entitled to the appointment of one or more attorneys and the furnishing of such other services in accordance with subsections (b) through (f).
If the appointment is made before judgment, at least one attorney so appointed must have been admitted to practice in the court in which the prosecution is to be tried for not less than five years, and must have had not less than three years experience in the actual trial of felony prosecutions in that court.
If the appointment is made after judgment, at least one attorney so appointed must have been admitted to practice in the court of appeals for not less than five years, and must have had not less than three years experience in the handling of appeals in that court in felony cases.
With respect to subsections (b) and (c), the court, for good cause, may appoint another attorney whose background, knowledge, or experience would otherwise enable him or her to properly represent the defendant, with due consideration to the seriousness of the possible penalty and to the unique and complex nature of the litigation.
Unless replaced by similarly qualified counsel upon the attorney's own motion or upon motion of the defendant, each attorney so appointed shall represent the defendant throughout every subsequent stage of available judicial proceedings, including pretrial proceedings, trial, sentencing, motions for new trial, appeals, applications for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States, and all available post-conviction process, together with applications for stays of execution and other appropriate motions and procedures, and shall also represent the defendant in such competency proceedings and proceedings for executive or other clemency as may be available to the defendant.
Upon a finding that investigative, expert, or other services are reasonably necessary for the representation of the defendant, whether in connection with issues relating to guilt or the sentence, the court may authorize the defendant's attorneys to obtain such services on behalf of the defendant and, if so authorized, shall order the payment of fees and expenses therefor under subsection (g). No ex parte proceeding, communication, or request may be considered pursuant to this section unless a proper showing is made concerning the need for confidentiality.

World Water Day sparks discussion of groundwater safety
Monsanto to host groundwater safety demo
Irrigated farm acres increased by nearly 1.3 million acres across the U.S. between 2002 and 2007, with Nebraska accounting for nearly a million additional acres, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
Although Nebraska is home to the world's largest known aquifer, the Ogallala Aquifer, water issues are in the forefront of farmers' minds, especially after last year's historic drought.
The mission of the Monsanto Learning Center in Gothenburg has always revolved around water management and utilization, researching ways to help farmers manage drought. Using World Water Day as a platform, the Gothenburg site hopes to spark a meaningful discussion in the community about the importance of water conservation and groundwater safety.
World Water Day, celebrated annually on March 22, is a United Nations initiative to focus attention on the importance of freshwater. The public is encouraged to support the effort by eliminating the use of tap water for the day.
In honor of World Water Day, this year the Gothenburg site is incorporating groundwater safety into its Progressive Ag Safety Day on April 11. Monsanto employees partner with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation® to host Progressive Ag Safety Days, which provide life-saving information to local children about farm safety and health practices.
Sixth grade students from Gothenburg, Cozad and Brady will be participating in this Progressive Ag Safety Day, which will include a demonstration on groundwater safety.
The groundwater safety demonstration will include the construction of a replica aquifer. Chan Mazour, Learning Center manager, hopes the replica will help participants better understand that there is water 25 feet under the very ground they are standing on. Attendees will also build ice cream sundaes to replicate aquifers.
"We hope the kids will think of aquifers every time they eat an ice cream sundae after this demonstration," Mazour said.
Agriculture accounts for 80% of the consumptive water use in the United States, according to the USDA, so it is important for current and future Nebraska farmers to understand the importance of water conservation and groundwater safety.

Charter funding: Some small but needed growth
June 25. 2013 6:46PM
It is somewhat surprising that $3.4 million in funding for additional charter schools found its way into the new state budget. In the last legislative session there was a big fight over charter schools. The state Board of Education last year imposed a moratorium on the approval of any new charter schools, citing a lack of funding. Republican legislators countered that the board overstepped its authority, and there was interest on the left in not supporting the expansion of charters. And yet, here we are.
Gov. Maggie Hassan, to her credit, included funding for new charter schools in her budget. Both the Democratic House and the Republican Senate supported funding new charter schools and lifting the Board of Education's moratorium. Not only did existing charter schools get funded, but lawmakers included millions to help new ones get started.
That is great news for parents and children. New Hampshire has excellent public schools by national standards. But not every school is right for every kid in the district. Charters give students an opportunity to find a school where they will thrive. We need more of them, especially in the North Country. This modest funding is less than is needed, but at least it continues the growth.

NEW YORK (AP) — The producers behind one of the largest comedy festivals in the world are launching a new theatrical subsidiary that hopes to become a major player on Broadway and in London's West End.
The Just For Laughs Group on Monday unveiled its new stage-orientated producing division and said Adam Blanshay will be its chief executive officer.
Just For Laughs Theatricals, which will be based in New York City, is already signed on to help produce the new Broadway musical "Kinky Boots," the West End productions of "A Chorus Line," ''Old Times" with Kristin Scott Thomas, and "Merrily We Roll Along." Future projects include the new Broadway musical "Bullets Over Broadway" in 2014.
"While comedy has always been our focus, we believe great theatre — whether musical, drama or comedy — can be an equally powerful unifying force," Gilbert Rozon, founder of the Just For Laughs Group, said in a statement.
Blanshay's recent Broadway credits include the revival of "Evita" starring Ricky Martin, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" with Daniel Radcliffe, "The Scottsboro Boys," ''Catch Me If You Can" and "Jerusalem." He has been nominated for six Tony Awards, one Grammy Award, and is a graduate of McGill University.
The Just For Laughs Group creates comedy festivals around the globe, dozens of hours of TV and operates concert tours. It is behind the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, which this summer will celebrate its 31st anniversary.
The festival attracts 2 million people each summer and has featured Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, John Cleese, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, Ray Romano, Jason Alexander, Dane Cook and Tim Allen.

While you are being treated with tacrolimus, and after you stop treatment with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccines) without your doctor's approval. Tacrolimus may lower your body's resistance and the vaccine may not work as well or you might get the infection the vaccine is meant to prevent. In addition, you should not be around other persons living in your household who receive live virus vaccines because there is a chance they could pass the virus on to you. Some examples of live vaccines include measles, mumps, influenza (nasal flu vaccine), poliovirus (oral form), rotavirus, and rubella. Do not get close to them and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you have questions about this, talk to your doctor.
This medicine may increase your risk for developing a rare and serious virus infection with the BK polyoma virus. This virus may affect how your kidneys work and cause a transplanted kidney to fail. Check with your doctor right away if you are having more than one of these symptoms: bloody urine; a decreased frequency or amount of urine; increased thirst; loss of appetite; lower back or side pain; nausea; swelling of the face, fingers, or lower legs; trouble with breathing; unusual tiredness or weakness; vomiting; or weight gain.
This medicine may increase your risk of developing a serious and rare brain infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Check with your doctor right away if you are having more than one of these symptoms: vision changes, loss of coordination, clumsiness, confusion, memory loss, difficulty speaking or understanding what others say, and weakness in the legs.
This medicine may cause serious nervous system problems. Tell your doctor right away if you have the following symptoms while using this medicine: blurred vision, dizziness, headache, mental changes, seizures, high blood pressure, or a fast heartbeat.
Hyperkalemia (high potassium in the blood) may occur while you are using this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have the following symptoms: abdominal or stomach pain; confusion; difficulty with breathing; irregular heartbeat; nausea or vomiting; nervousness; numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or lips; shortness of breath; or weakness or heaviness of the legs.
Tacrolimus may cause a condition called pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). This is a very rare condition where the body no longer makes red blood cells and the patient has severe anemia. Check with your doctor right away if you have a fever and sore throat; pale skin; unusual bleeding or bruising; or unusual tiredness or weakness.

Sara Evans has a big hit with her song "A Little Bit Stronger". The tune popped up in the iPod rotation and is the inspiration for today's iPod Devotional. The lyrics talk about the pain of a failed relationship.
Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger.
All of us have done that routine. We get up and we show up. That self-discipline may or may not make you stronger. One of the trite sayings that I have grown to seriously dislike is "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger". The truth is more like "whatever doesn't kill you doesn't kill you". That I can believe for sure.
Hurts in life might give you tougher skin. You may get stronger resolve to not get hurt again. But every broken relationship or dream leaves a scar. Even over time there is scar tissue that needs to be healed.
If only we could acknowledge that we are not as strong as we think we are. If we would admit that we need others and we need grace. I believe we would see an amazing difference. Yet pride tells me that I am able to handle the situation. Fear tells me that telling the truth in love will only make it worse. So one little hurt dealt with in my own strength negates the strength of a God who cares and can really be my strength and hope.
A couple of years ago a major food company had to recall thousands of cans of chili that were tainted with deadly toxins. A later follow-up to that story told about cans of chili exploding as the pressure built up inside the containers.
That seemed like a messy and disgusting but apt metaphor for how we deal with the toxins of hurt. We seal them up and store them away hoping that the canning process will deal with the toxin. But the toxins of woundedness have not been killed, only compartmentalized. The pain continues to grow, slowly and inexorably. Finally the pressure builds to the point of explosion.
Sara Evan's lyrics continue.
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger.
You can get a little bit stronger through determined self-effort. But there is a better way. What really makes you stronger is the source of your strength. Stubborn resolve or angry retribution will work for a while. But to really heal and really get stronger your source of strength needs to be more than yourself. Paul understood that truth in his letter to the Church at Philippi.
Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. (Philippians 4, NLT)
I am learning ever so slowly to trust that truth. My strength comes from Christ. My identity is in Him. So there is real hope to accomplish the healing that this song longs for. But that hope is not in self. Every day that I trust Jesus more and myself less I get a little bit stronger. And part of the chorus of today's song rings true for me. I know my heart will never be the same.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Dueling efforts to recall Mayor Bob Filner came into sharp relief Monday as the leader of the nation's eighth-largest city ignored mounting calls to resign amid allegations of sexual harassment.
The recall drives began as Filner's attorney, Harvey Berger, asked that the city cover the mayor's legal bills in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson. The lawsuit claims the mayor asked her to work without panties, demanded kisses, told her he wanted to see her naked, and dragged her in a headlock while whispering in her ear.
Seven of nine City Council members have urged Filner to resign, ensuring stiff opposition to paying his legal expenses. The City Council was to consider the request Tuesday.
Ann Ravel, chairwoman of the California Fair Political Practices Commission, said an official cannot accept more than $440 a year in donated services. Campaign money can only be used to defend against alleged violations of the state's campaign finance law.
An official can, however, create a legal defense fund under state law, Ravel said, leaving a possible avenue if the City Council rebuffs Filner.
Seven women have offered detailed accounts of Filner's unwanted advances, including touching and slobbering kisses. His accusers include a retired Navy rear admiral and a dean at San Diego State University.
Filner, who is 70 and divorced, said Friday that he would enter two weeks of "intensive" therapy Aug. 5, defying calls from his own party leaders to resign and fueling recall talk. The former 10-term congressman is less than eight months into a four-year term as San Diego's first Democratic mayor in 20 years.
Land-use surveyor Michael Pallamary published a newspaper notice Sunday to begin a recall bid, two days after gay rights activist Stampp Corbin did so. Pallamary accused Corbin of being a stealth supporter of the mayor and threatened to file a complaint with the San Diego County district attorney's office alleging election law violations.
Pallamary said Corbin would make little effort to collect the more than 100,000 signatures needed to get a recall measure on the ballot, setting it up to fail and preventing another recall drive for six months.
Corbin, who backed Filner in November's election, didn't respond to phone or email messages late Monday.
Confusion over whether recall petitions can circulate concurrently isn't the only procedural flaw uncovered since the mayor came under pressure to resign. The city attorney's office says a rule that voters must cast a ballot on a recall to be eligible to pick a replacement should be repealed because a federal judge struck down a nearly identical law during the successful 2003 recall of California Gov. Gray Davis.
Tony Krvaric, chairman of the San Diego County Republican Party, said Friday that he didn't expect big GOP donors or business leaders to make significant donations to a recall.
"The Democrats made this mess and they have to fix it," he said.
