California added 29,100 jobs last month. And on the surface, that doesn't sound too bad. But the state also revised July's 38,100 job gain all the way down 27,800 – the third straight time we've seen a downward revision.
Chapman University economist Esmael Adibi calls the summer's job growth "tepid."
"This is consistent with what's happening at the national level. Yes, we're creating jobs, but the pace is not gaining momentum," Adibi says.
That means there aren't enough jobs for all the Californians who have been self-employed and are now looking for work in what they're told is a recovering economy.
"So that explains mainly why unemployment rate has gone up," Adibi says - from 8.5 percent in June to 8.7 percent in July to in this latest report for August, 8.9 percent.

Plant pathologist finding Kansas wheat fields a molecular battleground this season
With harvest in full swing, many farmers have found that the brutal combination of high winds, scorching temperatures and minimal rainfall has left most wheat yields looking less like the good or the bad and more like the ugly.
But as a Kansas State University plant pathologist is finding in a statewide study, Kansas wheat this year also has been battling a much smaller opponent: viruses.
"We're still analyzing samples, but it's turning out that the viruses in wheat are extremely abundant this year," said Anna Whitfield, an associate professor of plant pathology who studies the plant-virus-vector interactions at the molecular level. Whitfield's extensive research in this area led to the Ad Astra Kansas Initiative this month to name her one of the state's top 150 scientists of past and present. So far K-State has had seven active faculty members named as top scientists in Kansas.
This summer Whitfield is part of a small collaboration that for six months has been investigating the diversity of wheat-infecting viruses across the state. The study, "Enabling Biotechnological Breakthroughs for Effective Control of Wheat Virus Diseases in Kansas," is intended to find what are the most important viruses infecting Kansas wheat, as well as what the yield losses are to those viral diseases.
"For more than 30 years wheat testing has been based on visuals," Whitfield said. "With this study we're able to take samples back to the lab to test for those diseases that can't be seen by the naked eye. The thought is that there are other viruses out there, and we're finding that's the case."
In an effort to detect these viruses, Whitfield and colleague Dorith Rotenberg, research assistant professor of plant pathology, are testing nearly 800 plant tissue samples collected throughout Kansas. The duo tests the samples through a process called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA for short. ELISA uses antibodies to detect viral proteins that may be in the plant tissue.
The study ends in August and is being funded by a grant from Heartland Plant Innovations Inc., a Manhattan-based company. Also working on this study are William Bockus, professor of plant pathology; Erick De Wolf, associate professor of plant pathology; John Appel, plant pathologist at the Kansas Department of Agriculture; and a team of student researchers.
Whitfield is also continuing work on the tomato spotted wilt virus, the wheat streak mosaic virus and the maize mosaic rhabdovirus -- three diseases that are largely spread by arthropods and insects to plants, and result in large crop losses. Her work on the insect interaction with these viruses has been earning Whitfield other recognition as an-up-and-coming scholar in the field.
In 2010 she was awarded a $1 million CAREER Award by the National Science Foundation to fund her work on how the corn planthopper carries and transfers the maize mosaic rhabdovirus from plant to plant and how the insect responds to the viruses itself. Though it cannot transfer to humans, the maize mosaic rhabdovirus is in the same family as rabies. Whitfield's research team has initiated a study to discover whether insects are affected the same way mammals are and if as a result this leads to a greater transmission of the virus.
The Ad Astra Kansas Initiative is a Hutchinson-based organization that works toward promoting the scientific accomplishments of Kansas researchers and innovators who work in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ad Astra's project, "Science in Kansas: 150 Years and Counting," celebrates the state's sesquicentennial, and is meant to emphasize the importance of science and the career possibilities in research and innovation to K-12 students.

Johnny after John
John Mayer turned up at the Grammys like a poor man's Depp, barely. But more than a few of you noted the similarity. Then Johnny Depp turned up at the Rango premiere last in LA and it was too fresh. Not that he hasn't looked like this for a while, but now, on the heels of that douche crawling onto the carpet stanking of his own stimulation, I need Johnny to wash that sh-t off for us immediately.
Can we please change it up? Can you take care of the bloat too?
For a gossip blogger, there are limits to loyalty. And while tolerance is a cornerstone attribute of a true fan, that doesn't mean said fan has to pretend she's blind. You'd have to be to deny he isn't at his best right now. Johnny hasn't been at his best for a while. And even though Johnny at his not best is still better than most at their all time, right now, this ongoing Tourist slump is getting a little stale.

On September 14, Collective Shout made a submission to the Classification Review Board, calling for a review of the Classification Board's April decision to grant the film an R18+ rating.
We described scenes of extreme sexual violence against a child and against women.
"A Serbian Film contains depictions of a man raping his five year old son; of a man beheading a woman while raping her and of an adolescent girl smilingly encouraging a man to hit a woman while the woman performs oral sex on him. The film clearly exceeds the classification guidelines for R18+ films and should have been Refused Classification."
We also said it was beyond comprehension that such a film -which we hear is now doing the rounds of schools on USB sticks – could be approved for local video stores. Crikey website editor Luke Buckmaster described the film as "morally irredeemable".
The Classification Review Board met yesterday and overturned the original ruling.
Naturally Accent films, the Australian distributor is not happy about the reversal, inferring on twitter that the decision was a denial of democratic freedom.
Apparently democratic freedom should allow images of child sexual assault and the torture and decapitation of women, available at your local DVD outlet.
While we do of course welcome the Review Board's decision, we can't help but ask: what was the Board thinking in to allow it to go through in the first place?
The Classification system is in need of an overhaul, as we've argued in two recent submissions, including this one to the current Australian Law Reform Commission review.

Extraordinary Journeys: Portuguese Rare Books at Georgetown University, (1580 – 1725)
Drawn from the special collections divisions of Woodstock Theological Center Library and Lauinger Library, this exhibition brings together over thirty-seven historic books and manuscripts whose authors, editors, publishers or subject matter are linked with Portugal. The selection includes books published in eighteen cities from eight European countries, representing six different languages. A collection of Jesuit letters in Latin adds to the exhibit including a letter from a Jesuit missionary in Bahia, Brazil dated 1677. Individual sections focus on Jesuit martyrs; Jesuit philosophy on Catholic doctrine; Jesuit philosophy on laws, rules, and procedures; religious texts; Portuguese journeys; and political problems as depicted by the Portuguese.
The Portuguese are well-known for their sea exploration and their presence both geographically and intellectually around the world. Their important contributions to world cultures were celebrated this summer in the Smithsonian's exhibition Encompassing the Globe: Portugal and the World in the 16th and 17th Centuries. Focusing on the literary evidence of this extraordinary religious, civic and cultural cross-pollination, the Georgetown exhibition highlights distinguished authors in the areas of cannon law: Agostinho Barbosa and Pedro Barbosa; theology: Bartolomeu dos Mártires and Jerónimo Osório; and philosophy, represented by the several tomes of commentaries on Aristotle's writings by the Collegium Conimbricensis led by Pedro Fonseca. This dissemination of knowledge is furthermore marked by its global influence from the Americas through António Vieira, and his famous sermons written in Brazil; to the East, through the travel descriptions of Fernão Mendes Pinto's Peregrinação (Pilgrimage) and accounts on the Jesuit martyrs by António Cardim and Álvaro Semedo.
Bearing in mind the relatively small number of translations made from Portuguese historically, our hope is that this exhibit will reveal to its public a more precise answer to the important question of the spread of Portuguese culture beyond its own borders and language. Its intent is to demonstrate the significant role of the Portuguese, both in Europe and the World, in every aspect relating to communication, from the creation and production of a book to the transmission of thought and knowledge, independent of language, format, or political boundaries.
Michael J. Ferreira and Patricia A. Soler, Guest Curators
Born in Brussels, Phillipe Alegambe went to Spain and accompanied the Duke of Osuna to Sicily where he entered the Society of Jesus. After completing his studies in Rome, he taught philosophy and theology in Gratz, Austria. His main publication is Bibliotheca Scriptorum Societatis Jesu (1642). A Jesuit historiographer, Father Alegambe published this book on the life of Father João Cardim, and was considered by many to have lived the life of a saint with the help of his brother and fellow Jesuit, Father António Cardim.
A very early if not the first Jesuit martyrology. A poignant reminder of the Spanish settlement of Florida in the 16th century is the large number of Jesuits who died for the faith there, the first being Pedro Martinez, S.J., killed and "thrown into the sea" on September 24, 1566. Also included are numerous Jesuits who died in Brazil.
A canon lawyer and noted for his sanctity, affability, and prodigious memory, Agostinho Barbosa went to Madrid as an ecclesiastical judge in 1632, and in 1648 was appointed bishop of Ugento in Naples. He was a prolific author in the field of canon law, over 150 works in Latin alone, and his collected works were published in 19 volumes at Lyons (1657-75). At the tender age of 21, Barbosa published the most complete Latin-Portuguese dictionary to date according to Bento Pereira, a contemporary Portuguese lexicographer. The Dictionarium Lusitanico Latinum was published in Braga in 1611.
A notable politician respected by colleagues and professors alike, Pedro Barbosa finished his studies of Law and ascended through the judicial ranks with great ease becoming Supreme Council of Justice at the Royal Palace, the Court Appointed Representative to the Inquisition in Coimbra, Advisor to the Portuguese government in Madrid, and Chancellor of Portugal. Despite Barbosa's unconcealed opinion that Phillip II was not entitled to the crown of Portugal, the monarch attempted to gain his support and lure him to Castile. Barbosa never accepted.
Father Coelho joined the Society of Jesus on his way to India in 1556. Upon his arrival he taught in Goa and served as a missionary for eighteen years, preaching mostly in the kingdom of Omura. Considered to be a leader and political figure due to his status as Superior and Vice-Provincial of the Jesuit mission in Japan, he was frequently consulted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a powerful feudal ruler who unified Japan. During his term, Father Coelho had promised to aid Hideyoshi to invade mainland China by supplying two Portuguese ships and Portuguese troops from India. This broken promise was the catalyst in future Jesuit-Japanese relations and is seen as leading to the Christian persecutions in Japan.
The Collegium Conimbricensis is the name by which the Jesuits from the University of Coimbra, Portugal were known. The University prepared voluminous commentaries on the philosophical writings of Aristotle which were not intended for publication, only for teaching the students. After discovering the existence of fraudulent publications, Father Claudio Aquaviva, the General of the Society of Jesus, assigned Father Pedro da Fonseca the task of supervising the revision of these commentaries for publication and giving each of the publications the initial title of Commentarii Collegii Conimbricensis Societatis Iesu... or Commentary of the Jesuit College of Coimbra.... Father Fonseca was widely known as the "Aristotle" of Portugal. We present here four of these volumes. Also see Pedro da Fonseca's Eight Books on Dialectic Logic.
Karl Werner says that the Jesuits of Coimbra gave the world a masterpiece, whose equal is yet to be seen and which has received the admiration it deserves. The latter editions have added the Greek text of Aristotle.
The last treatise was prepared by Father Sebastião Couto. It enjoyed a wide circulation, and appeared in many editions, the best known being those of Lyon, Lisbon, and Cologne. The Commentaries are flowing in Latin and are supplemented by reliable explanations of the text and exhaustive discussion of the system of Aristotle.
Famous as an orator and for his knowledge of Latin and Greek, Father Luís da Cruz joined the Collegium Conimbricensis in 1558 where he taught rhetoric and the Holy Scripture. His love for poetry and theater lead him to the production of Interpretatio poetica latine ... (Ingolstadt, 1597) and the four-tragedy play Tragicae comicaeque actiones ... (Lyon, 1605) represented for young King Sebastian of Portugal in 1570 during a visit to the University of Coimbra, and subsequently published posthumously.
The narrative of Segnior Francisco de Faria: interpreter and secretary of languages unto Gasper de Abrev de Freitas, late Ambassador in Ordinary from the crown of Portugal ... to His Most Sacred Majesty of England, wherein is contained the several informations given upon oath before the Right Honourable the Lords Committees, for examinations touching the horrid Popish Plot, and reported to the Lords spiritual and temporal in Parliament assembled, and afterwards to the Commons of England in Parliament assembled. Testimony of Francisco de Faria defending himself against accusations regarding his supposed involvement in the Popish Plot of 1678, rendered in English by the Portuguese diplomat Gaspar Abreu de Freitas, who was the resident in charge of business affairs with the Holy See in 1672. See item by Titus Oates on the origins and nature of the conspiracy.
First published in 1564, the Institvtionvm dialecticarvm libri octo saw more than fifty-three editions in sixty years, and was recently translated and published in a bilingual volume Portuguese/Latin (1964) by the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Despite being based on the Aristotelic organon, the Institvtionvm dialecticarvm demonstrates Father Fonseca's knowledge of both Greco-Roman and scholastic post-Aristotelic logic. He cites Aristotle, Cicero, Boethius, St. Augustine and St. Thomas, and many others.
The Dominican born Bartholomeu Vale in Lisbon and raised in the parish of Our Lady of the Martyrs, changed his name to Batholomeu of the Martyrs to honor the church in which he was baptized. Appointed by Queen Catarina of Portugal to be Archbishop of Braga, one of the oldest religious centers in the Iberian Peninsula, in 1558 Father Bartholomeu took it upon himself to instruct both clergy members and the general population. His first act was to turn the Dominican run Colégio de São Paulo over to the Jesuits. The fight to improve the education of the clergy through reform took place during the Council of Trent in 1562, when his famous words were uttered: "The Illustrious Cardenals require an illustrious reform." In 1572 he founded a seminary lead by Friar João de Leiria despite heavy opposition.
As part of his education of the clergy, Father Bartholomeu published the first edition of the Stimulus pastorum ... in 1564 in Antwerp. Its continued success earned editions in 1900 and 1963.
Originally published in 1582, Father Bartholomeu had the Compendium spiritualis doctrinæ ... translated to Portuguese along with Catechism of Christian Doctrine for the general population. He was known for his great zeal and care for the poor and the needy.
A true narrative of the horrid plot and conspiracy of the Popish Party against the life of His Sacred Majesty, the Government, and the Protestant religion: with a list of such noblemen, gentlemen, and others that were the conspirators, and the head-officers, both civil and military, that were to effect it: published by the order of the Right Honorable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled: humbly presented to His Most Excellent Majesty / by Titus Oates [i.e. Oates] ... Writings of Titus Oates, a 17th century charlatan, who instigated the "Popish Plot" to kill King Charles II of England. His accusations ignited widespread fears of a Catholic conspiracy, resulting in the executions of numerous "traitors" linked to the purported plot. Despite the lack of evidence of such a plot, Oates was a popular figure in his time, considering himself the "Saviour of the Nation". See item by Francisco de Faria on his defense against accusations leading from the Popish Plot.
Historiae Hieronymi Osorii, Lusitani, Silvensis in Algarbiis episcopi, De rebus, Emmanuelis, Lusitaniae regis ... de reperta ab Hispanis & Lusitanis, in Occidentis & Orientis Indiam, nauigatione, deq. populorum eius vita, moribus, ac ritibus ... Chronicles the history of the kingdom of King Emmanuel I and the Portuguese and Spanish expansion in the Americas, Africa, India and Asia. A Humanist and Theologian educated in Salamanca, Paris, and Bologna, Jerónimo Osório was the most well-known Portuguese writer among the educated elite of European society. In Essais I Montaigne stated: "Bishop Osório, the best Latin historian of our time."
Originally published in 1567, In Gualterum Haddonem ... is a reply to Haddon's Pro Reformatione Anglicana and is counted among the controversial works of the time.
Father Jódoco Perret was a professor, a writer, and a missionary in Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil. Born in Switzerland (1633), he joined the Society of Jesus in 1653. After having taught philosophy in Munich, Father Perret was sent to Santiago de Compostela, Spain to serve as a confessor and then on to Lisbon, where he received orders to go to Brazil's first capital, Salvador. He arrived in Maranhão in 1678 and was the mission's Superior in 1684 when a mutiny carried out by fellow priests against the Jesuits and the governor took place. After his expulsion, Father Perret embarked on a trip to Ceará, also in Northeastern Brazil, only to be robbed, held captive, and then abandoned by pirates on a deserted island. He returned to Lisbon to request the return of the mutinous missionaries, but due to his well-known ill temper and general lack of tact he was forced to leave. A letter from a bound volume of copies of more than 30 manuscripts letters and other accounts addressed by various Jesuits to Mattias Tanner, S. J., rector of the Jesuit college in Prague, 1674-1682. Of particular interest are letters giving accounts of Jesuit travels and missionary activities in Brazil, Mexico, the Marianas Islands, Vietnam, China, and elsewhere.

Father Manuel de Sá joined the Society of Jesus at the Collegium Conimbricensis when he was fifteen. At a young age he had already taught philosophy and and was a pupil of St. Francis of Borja, whom he accompanied to Rome in 1550. At the request of St. Ignatius Loyola, he began what was to be a brilliant career as professor of theology and the Holy Scripture in the Roman College. After presiding over an eight-day discussion on theological conclusions (Assertiones theologiae disputandae in templo S. J. tempore electionis Praepositi generalis, respondente uno ejusdem Societatis ..., Roma 1558), and having been praised for his modesty and vastness of knowledge, Pope Pius V appointed Father Sá to be one of the editors of an official version of the Vulgate Bible seen here. First edition. This work was so well received it saw three editions in Lyon (1602, 1610, 1620), one in Venice (1602), and two in Cologne (1610, 1620). The Officina Plantiniana is considered to be the most influential printing and publishing house in Belgium from the mid-sixteenth to the late nineteenth centuries. Its founder, Christoffel Plantin, made noteworthy contributions to the improvement of typographical techniques during this time period.
The first edition of the Aphorismi Confessariorum... was published in Venice in 1595. It saw over thirty editions over the next fifteen years, including one in Japan (1603). In 1602 Manuel de Sá, along with two other Jesuits, was accused by Father Báñez, a Dominican, of accepting confession by letter and giving absolution from afar. This doctrine was condemned along with the Aphorismi until it was corrected. The new edition, published in Rome (1607), was just as popular.
The history of that great and renowned monarchy of China wherein all the particular provinces are accurately described, as also the dispositions, manners, learning, lawes, militia, government, and religion of the people, together with the traffick and commodities of that countrey. [The history of the invasion by the Tartars, p. [251]-304, has special t.p.: Bellum tartaricum, or, The conquest of the great and most renovvned empire of China, by the invasion of the Tartars ... Written originally in Latine by Martin Martinius ... London, Printed for J. Crook, 1655. Lately written in Italian by F. Alvarez Semedo ... Now put into English by a person of quality, and illustrated with several mapps and figures ... To which is added the history of the late invasion, and conquest of that flourishing kingdom by the Tartars. With an exact account of the other affairs of China, till these present times ]. English translation of one of the first works to detail the history and customs of China to a European audience. Semedo, a Jesuit who arrived in Goa in 1608 and later sent to China in 1613 to study the language, is known for being the first European to recognize the virtues of tea, its usefulness, and to teach how to prepare it. Two years later, however, fearful of the Jesuits' influence, elements of the Chinese government expelled its members and imprisoned others. Semedo was jailed temporarily as well, although permitted back into the country by the new Tatar government now in power. The Tatars more readily accepted the Jesuits due to their vast knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. His writing about China and its people, considered to be the best descriptions by a European since Marco Polo, was enormously influential and subsequently published in numerous languages and editions.
[par Alvarez Semedo. Portugais. Auec l'Histoire de la guerre des Tartares, contenant les reuolutions arriuées en ce grand royaume, depuis quarante ans: par le p. Martin Martini. Traduites nouuellement en françois]. Originally published in Portguese and intitled Relação da Propagação da Fé no Reyno da China e outros adjacentes (Account of the Propagation of Faith in the Kingdom of China and others adjacent to it, Madrid, 1641), this text was translated first into Spanish by Manuel de Faria e Sousa (Imperio de la China..., Madrid 1642), and then into Italian (Rome, 1643). This translation is the second version in French of Semedo's Account... of the great and renowned monarchy of China. See description of "The History of China – English".
Missionary, diplomat, and orator, António Vieira was a child when he touched Brazilian soil for the first time. He studied under the Jesuits and joined the Society of Jesus at fifteen and pronounced his first vows two years later. By the age of eighteen, Vieira was teaching rhetoric and writing commentaries on the Canticle of Canticles, the Tragedies of Seneca, and Metamorphoses of Ovid. In 1640, when the Dutch besieged Bahia, he delivered his "Discourse for the success of the Portuguese Arms" astounding all by his eloquence. King John IV, recognizing Vieira's merit made him tutor of the Infante Dom Pedro, court preacher, and member of the Royal Council. A champion of freedom, Vieira maintained that no citizen should be exempt of taxation, and denounced the severity of the Portuguese Inquisition. Despite traveling on several diplomatic missions, Vieira steadily refused the official title of ambassador and the offer of a bishopric. In 1652 he returned to Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil, only to be driven back to Lisbon due to his fearless denunciations of the excesses of slave owners. Upon successfully pleading the cause of the natives of the area, Vieira returned to Brazil and worked for six years traveling hundreds of miles on the Amazon and its tributaries spreading his translation of the Catechism into the local lore, until slave owners once again drove him back to Lisbon. He found many enemies on his return to the Portuguese court due to the succession of Alphonso VI. His leniency to the converted Jews, alleged doctrinal errors, and millenarianist beliefs among others lead the Portuguese Inquisition to condemn Vieira, forbidding him from preaching and keeping him prisoner. After a reversal of the sentence, he traveled to Rome where he was well received and spent six years. He desire to return to Brazil, however, was still strong and 1681 did so and worked in Maranhão, once again until he passed away at the age of eighty-nine. António Vieira's Sermões (Sermons) alone consist of fifteen volumes of his Obras completas (Complete Works). He was amazingly productive, having, for instance, thirty sermons on the Rosary, eighteen on Saint Francis Xavier, and fourteen on the Eucharist. Vieira produced over five hundred letters during his lifetime.
The first edition of this book was published in Portuguese as Xavier dormindo, e Xavier acordado em tres oraçoens by Miguel Deslandes in 1694. This is the first edition in Latin translated by Father Leopold Fuess, S.J. to honor António Vieira.
[Escrita por Antonio Vieira. Traduccida en lengua castellana, por Alonso Antonio Rodriguez Santivañez]. The first edition of this book was published posthumously in Portuguese in 1718. Vieira set forth a messianic doctrine based on the Book of Daniel which prophesized the coming of a new era for the Portuguese as the "Fifth Empire"; moreover, the empire that would never be destroyed. The first four were considered to be the Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans.
A representation of the saint resting on a mat under a simple hut on the seashore, where in the center a caravel sails surrounded by fluttering birds and fish who eye him curiously, while in the opposite, upper right corner appear three curly-headed seraphim amid the rays of a divine sun. The piece is not listed in [the catalogue] I legni incisi della Galleria Estense (Modena, 1986).
Etching on copper, anonymous and undated. 38 x 31 cm, trimmed at the point where the plate has left its mark on the paper. Presumably Amsterdam, ca. 1690. Satirical etching with many allegorical elements whose protagonist is James II (1633-1701), Stuart king of England. He is clothed in a monastic habit, alluding to his policy of restoring Catholicism in the United Kingdom. "The last farewell toast of King James with the King of France," which is the beginning of the title, refers to the support the former received from the latter. The crown on the verge of falling from James' head, and the broken scepter mock the end of his reign, which lasted just three years, after which William of Orange arrived. Behind the king the figure of a Jesuit alludes to the Society's presumed involvement in the so-called "Popish Plot" of 1679 against the reformed churches, a plot "revealed" by that murky figure Titus Oates, a kind of adventurer and fomenter of religious strife at that time in England.
"When the Giants made war against Jupiter, Jupiter with this customary lighting bolts …" Satirical etching inspired by the expulsion of the Jesuits from all the countries of Europe (except Prussia and Russia) and from their colonies, during the years of the worst persecution suffered by the Society. This would end in the suppression of the order by Pope Clement XIV in 1773. The ambitious edifice that symbolizes the Society of Jesus is crumbling in ruins beneath the thunderbolts coming from the escutcheons of the great powers of Europe (France, Spain, and primarily Portugal). The members of the Society are sent tumbling among the blocks of stone, each named for a particular nation. These are infested with serpents and dominated by a nine-headed dragon, well-known symbol of sin and wickedness. As a didactic note accompanying this image there is a citation in Latin and Italian from Ovid's Metamorphoses about the mythical episode of the Giants struck by Jupiter's lightning as punishment for their impious attempt to scale the heavens – an obvious parallel to the punishment meted out to the powerful religious order. The text at the foot of the page ends with an encomium to the Marquis of Pombal, the Portuguese prime minister who was a most bitter enemy of the Jesuits and promoted the widespread campaign against them.
In the upper part, under a title inscribed on a fluttering ribbon, the insignia of the Society are surrounded, above by a gallows and a torture wheel; on the right by a large, six-headed Hydra intent on ripping apart with its fangs the Bible and other religious texts, while with its talons crushing the tablets of the Law, a volume of "The Law of the Nations" and various religious symbols. On the left of the insignia are two Jesuits in long black cassocks, who trample on the Pope while concealing beneath their cloaks the Devil armed with a dagger. At their feet lies the King of Portugal run through by a sword. One of the two holds a list with the names Molina, Escobar, Bellarmine, Zaccaria, Busembaum, Guignard, Berruyer, Pichin, Malagrida and Mamachi. At the far left on a marble pedestal there is a statue of a Mandarin with an umbrella, alluding to the Chinese Rites controversy. In the lower section there is a large architectural frame in renaissance style containing a text of 28 lines. In it we read, "The coat-of-arms of the Jesuits elaborated on the basis of the crimes of every type of which they are guilty. Their weapons are the sword, fire and poison, with which they bring ruin both to sovereigns and to their subjects, if they ever happen to oppose the Jesuits' detestable and Machiavellian plots." After a long list of the misdeeds of the Jesuits, it concludes, "May God will that this publication cover them with a salutary confusion and convert them, Amen, amen." According to Venturi, "It is the most significant document of the violent anti-Jesuit campaign inspired by the Jansenist tradition." (Cf., Franco Venturi Settecento Riformatore [Turin: Einaudi, 1969-90]) There also exist versions of this rare etching with the text in French.
Adhortatores. Malagrida jam jam strangulando. Single folio, 25 x 35 cm., comprising in the upper part an etching on copper of 11 x 16 cm., and below it a printed text of two columns in Latin and Italian. A cut from the left margin to the center of the image has been restored. Lacking typographical information, ca. 1761. A rare single folio, published separately on the occasion of the execution of Father Malagrida. The "Comforters" (or Adhortatores) are the two priests, one Dominican and the other Capuchin, who in the illustration are leading Father Gabriele Malagrida (1689–1761) to his execution. He was accused of having participated in the plot against Joseph I, king of Portugal, and was subsequently also charged with heresy and false prophecies. Malagrida is holding a long candle, has a "bit" between his teeth to prevent him speaking, and on his head is the high conical cap characteristic of those condemned by the tribunal of the Inquisition. In the background one can see the tortured man being burned at the stake, surrounded by a large crowd, which is kept at the required distance by guards. The bilingual text recounts the phrases with which the two priests "comfort" the condemned man.

10 American Cities That Are Dead Forever
A city does not die when its last resident moves away. Death happens when municipalities lose the industries and vital populations that made them important cities.
Click here to see the cities >
The economy has evolved so much since the middle of the 20th Century that many cities that were among the largest and most vibrant in America have collapsed. Some have lost more than half of their residents. Others have lost the businesses that made them important centers of finance, manufacturing, and commerce.
Most of America's Ten Dead Cities were once major manufacturing hubs and others were important ports or financial services centers. The downfall of one city, New Orleans, began in the 1970s, but was accelerated by Hurricane Katrina.
Notably, the rise of inexpensive manufacturing in Japan destroyed the ability of the industrial cities on this list to effectively compete in the global marketplace. Foreign business activity and US government policy were two of the three major blows that caused the downfall of these cities. The third was the labor movement and its demands for higher compensation which ballooned the costs of manufacturing in many of these cities as well.
24/7 Wall St. looked at a number of sources in order to select the list. One was the US Census Bureau's list of largest cities by population by decade from 1950 to 2000 with estimates for 2007. Detroit, for example, had 1.9 million people in 1950 and was the fifth largest city in the nation. By 2000, the figure was 951,000. The city was not even on the top ten list in 2007.
The Census data also describes the shift of much of the population to cities which were not considered large at all in 1950. Most of these are in the southern part of the US. Rising populations in these locations has been driven by the growing number of retired people and a relocation of the nation's workforce. This is how San Diego, Phoenix, and San Antonio have moved onto the list of the ten largest cities in America.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology did a study of what they described as America's 150 forgotten cities. The municipalities on their list were medium-sized and ranked by measurements that included poverty. The reason for their demise largely match the cities on the 24/7 Wall St list. The MIT research work goes beyond a mere list of statistics and points out reasons why some of these cities will never recover. In almost every case, tax bases have disappeared, which has undermined the ability of local governments to spend money on revitalization. Abandoned areas of these cities have high crime rates, which not only keeps people from relocating to these areas but is actually an incentive for them to move away. This in turn, leads to the image of these cities as desolate urbanscapes.

The Crimson hosts a pair of Ivy League doubleheaders this weekend (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
The Harvard softball team hosts its first Ivy League games of the year with a pair of doubleheaders this weekend at Soldiers Field. The Crimson (9-15, 2-2 Ivy) takes on Princeton (18-9, 3-1 Ivy) on Friday, April 5, at 2 p.m., before hosting Cornell (12-14, 2-2 Ivy) on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.

A live video stream will be available through GoCrimson.com by clicking video. Live stats will also be available.
Last Time Out
For the second time in her career, junior Kasey Lange hit two home runs in a single game, but the Harvard softball team stranded 14 runners Tuesday in a 5-3 loss to Providence at Soldiers Field. The Crimson fell to 9-15 on the year despite collecting 13 hits on the day, while Providence improved to 10-17-1.

Series History
This weekend marks the 64th and 65th contests on the diamond against both opponents for Harvard. The Crimson trails, 22-41, in the all-time series with Princeton, but owns a 6-1 mark in the last seven meetings. Harvard has shutout Princeton in one game each year since 2009. Last season, the Crimson toppled the Tigers, 8-0 and 8-6.
Harvard leads the all-time series with Cornell, 39-23. Since 2011, the Crimson is 4-2 versus the Big Red, with two shutout victories. Last year, Harvard won a 6-2, eight-inning battle, but fell, 10-8, on the road in Ithaca.
A Look at Harvard
Harvard is currently tied for fourth place in the Ivy League standings with a 2-2 conference mark and a 9-15 overall record. Entering the weekend, the Crimson is second in the league with 23 stolen bases, fourth in the league in batting average (.263) and fielding percentage (.958) and fifth in earned run average (3.65 ERA) and slugging percentage (.361).
At the plate, Kasey Lange ranks second in the Ancient Eight with eight home runs through 24 games this season. The junior is fourth in slugging percentage (.708), fifth in runs batted in (19), third in total bases (51) and ninth in on-base percentage (.417). Sophomore Andrea Del Conte is second in the Ivy with eight stolen bases, while junior Shelbi Olson rates seventh in the same statline with four.
From the circle, freshman Morgan Groom's opponents' batting average of .199 is second best among Ivy hurlers. Groom's 4.40 innings pitched per game and 53 strikeouts are fifth best in the league and five complete games is ninth. Fellow rookie Jamie Halula's one save is tied for third in the conference, while her opponent batting average of .270 is ninth.
Scouting Princeton
Princeton is 4-1 over its last five games, shutting out Brown in its Ivy opener, 8-0 and 5-0, splitting with Yale, 6-1 and 2-3 (8 inn.), and defeating Villanova, 4-1, on Tuesday. Friday's game opens a nine-game road trip for the Tigers.
Alyssa Schmidt (.433), Rachel Rendina (.371), Candy Button (.363) and Alex Peyton (.353) rank among the top 10 batting averages in the conference. Schmidt (.642), Peyton (.635) and Button (.575) are also among the league's best slugging percentages, while Peyton's 25 RBI and Button's 21 RBI top the conference.
Time in the circle has been split fairly evenly between Shanna Christian, Peyton and Liza Kuhn. Christian's 1.77 ERA is second best in the Ivy League, while Peyton's 1.93 ERA is fifth. Kuhn leads the team with 51 strikeouts.
The Big Red is 12-14 on the year and 2-2 in the Ivy League. Cornell is 4-2 in the last six contests and will meet Dartmouth on Friday, before heading to Cambridge for Saturday's matchup with the Crimson.
Cornell is among the league's best hitting units, registering a .314 batting average, with eight mainstays in the lineup batting .300 or better. Junior Christian Villalon paces the squad at .405, with a team-best 20 RBI to go with eight doubles, four home runs and a .676 slugging percentage. Senior Erin Belles has two home runs and is hitting .455 over the last six games.
Junior Alyson Onyon has tossed 10 complete games en route to a 9-7 record, while holding opponents to a .251 batting average. Onyon has 84 strikeouts in 110.2 innings.
Records Watch
Junior Kasey Lange is four home runs shy of breaking Tiffany Whitton's home run record. Whitton smashed 28 long balls from 1999-2003 for the Crimson and Lange notched her 25th homer against Providence this past Tuesday.
Up Next
Harvard resumes Ivy League play on Saturday with a doubleheader against Cornell at 12:30 p.m.

Consider the differential equation $\dot x = f(x)$. The standard proofs are
The Picard iteration based proof of existence/uniqueness for Lipschitz $f$.
The Peano existence theorem for continuous $f$.
The Caratheodory existence theorem for measurable $f$.
My question is as follows. Assuming a Lipschitz $f(x)$, are there any other proofs out there for existence of solutions (in some reasonable sense) for ODEs?

Simon Cowell Breaks Silence on Controversial One Direction Videoby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Simon Cowell has broken his silence following the controversial video that seemingly shows One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik smoking a joint in a car.
"What I can say is that they're the hardest-working boys I've ever worked with," Cowell told the UK's Digital Spy today, June 2. "They still haven't changed."
"They're really respectful of their fans [and] they're a great British export," he continued. "They're a joy to work with."
Cowell, who is the group's boss and is credited as putting them together as a band on 'X Factor,' declined to discuss the advice he has given the boys ("It's a private matter I don't want to go into," he told the UK's Mirror) but was adamant that One Direction was still on the right path.
"I've worked with a lot of artists in the past who do lose the plot, who do lose respect for their fans," Cowell said. "They've never done that." He added: "I hope the fans stay loyal."
While Louis and Zayn themselves have yet to comment on the video, their 1D bandmate Liam Payne took to Twitter over the weekend to address the controversy in a series of tweets, writing:
I love my boys and maybe things have gone a little sideways I apologise for that.We are only in our 20's we all do stupid things at this age
— Liam Payne (@Real_Liam_Payne) May 31, 2014
We all have a lot of growing up to do in an extreme circumstance I'm not making excuse but it's fact we are gunna fall short somewhere
— Liam Payne (@Real_Liam_Payne) May 31, 2014
Hopefully we stand the test of time an get it right in the end I don't take this for granted and im extremely grateful to be here doing this
— Liam Payne (@Real_Liam_Payne) May 31, 2014
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us through this just know that we love you guys for it and it means the world
— Liam Payne (@Real_Liam_Payne) May 31, 2014
We have a feeling that despite the slip-up of the leaked video, Directioners won't be going anywhere any time soon.
PopCrushers + Directioners, what do you think of Simon Cowell's response?

The Omnivore's Dilemma: a Natural History of Four Meals
by Michael Pollan
What's for dinner? Michael Pollan uses his incisive investigative and literary skills to elucidate the apparently infinite variety of foods available to early 21st century Americans. He takes the reader on several field-to-table journeys, delineating the elements which make up four different meals: industrially-produced "fast" food; organic or "alternate" food purchased from one of the major organic grocery chains; food grown and gathered on a small "sustainable" farm in Virginia; and "wild" foods (such as mushrooms and pig) which Pollan went hunting for himself.
One of the spicier exposés in the book involves the lowly husk of corn, which has evolved into one of the leading ingredients in industrial foods. Despite the notion of endless variety available to American consumers, a quarter of all supermarket foods are made from corn. Pollan "follows the money," and much more, to show the ecological costs of putting this highly-versatile plant at the center of the food business. A liter of oil is necessary to produce each of the 10 billion bushels of corn produced a year. An insider's glimpse of the beef, poultry and dairy industries brings readers to a much fuller, and perhaps life-altering, understanding of the basic building blocks of the American diet. Pollan reports that animals naturally evolved to live on grass have to be fed antibiotics when they are sickened by a diet of—you guessed it—corn. They also contain higher levels of saturated fat which feeds into, so to speak, the American trend toward obesity and diabetes. Even supposedly "free-range" chickens may never land on a blade of grass before they end up on a grocery shelf. Pollan buys a steer and follows it almost from cradle to grave. If it's true that "you are what you eat," readers may find themselves transformed by the time they finish this closely-researched and fascinating book.
For On the Same Page, the Library has purchased the 2006 Penguin Press hardcover edition of The Omnivore's Dilemma. It is also available at the Library as an audiobook in CD format.

Derrick Hall chat transcript: April 4
During his April web chat, D-backs President and CEO Derrick Hall chatted with fans about the team's exciting 16-inning win over the Cardinals on Wednesday night at Chase Field, the status of rehabbing players, and the rebuilt bench.
Derrick_Hall: Hello everyone. Are you as tired as me? Welcome to this month's chat.
snakesnos: Hi Derrick. What an amazing game last night. I'm glad I stayed! Is Chavez OK? He took a nasty pitch to the arm and went down hard...
Derrick_Hall: It was one of the most enjoyable games I have ever watched. As for Eric, it is too early to say, but we think he will be fine and that it is just a deep bruise.
Dbacker: Derrick, I am very pleased with how our team has started this season. They have shown me everything that we were told to expect. Danette and I loved Opening Day, especially your insurance commercials. You are the best!
Derrick_Hall: Thanks so much. These guys have a lot of fight in them and are very tough outs. Opening Day was especially great. Nothing like delivering a big win to a sold out crowd. Chase Field was sparkling.
jack789: Hey Derrick, great to speak with you. I was at the game last night. What a great night. I really appreciate the efforts of Gerardo Parra. He plays the game the way it should be played. I wish Gibby would leave him in the lineup everyday. He's off to an amazing start.
Derrick_Hall: And he's a terrific young man who loves his fans. He is an exciting player indeed. Again, we are so fortunate to have the outfield depth. It will be nice to have more options when Cody Ross and Adam Eaton return too.
roman109: First off -- thanks for keeping ticket prices low and the ballpark experience family friendly! I appreciate Randy Johnson's accomplishments with the D-backs. How is the relationship with him? Do you anticipate celebrating him in any way this year?
Derrick_Hall: Thanks so much for the comments. We were just listed as having the lowest prices in baseball for a family of four when it comes to tickets, parking, food, drink, programs and merchandise. Very proud of this for yet another year. Randy came around in spring and it was great having him there. The relationship is a good one and I hope to have him around on a more permanent basis in the coming years.
teddy1934: Burt and BB are awesome! Jodi and Joe are awesome too! Please keep Todd doing his 10th Inning Programs, but please don't pair him up with Joe. The "new" team are exceeding expectations and we wish them success at every challenge...like last night!
Derrick_Hall: Thanks for your comments as well. The feedback on the new announcers has been superb. We also enjoy working with all of the Fox Sports Arizona personalities, including Todd. He is versatile and talented in our opinions.
vindeaz: I know its only three games, but it seems the rebuilt bench is exactly what you were looking for. Your thoughts on specific individuals?
Derrick_Hall: I agree. We really did not give Gibby many bench options last season. Now he has Eric Chavez, Eric Hinske, and a combination of (depending on health) Willie Bloomquist, fourth outfielder, and Wil Nieves. These veterans coming off the bench to hit or to play in the field late give Gibby some great options.
abraves39: There have been rumors tossed around about the ballpark seating and ticket prices. What are your intentions, once the current agreement is done? Are there plans to reduce the amount of seats available, and in turn raising ticket prices?
Derrick_Hall: There are no such plans. We have always said we think the ballpark could be smaller for intimacy and intensity, but it is what it is. Sure, is nice for nights like Opening Day and playoffs. We have no plans to reduce capacity now or any time in the near future.
dc15nc: Great start, Derrick. Congrats. Saw an ad for Sonoran Style Hot Dogs. Where can we find those in the park?
Derrick_Hall: It has been a huge hit so far. Diamondback dog wrapped in bacon, with pinto beans, mayonnaise, tomatoes and cheese. I can't eat it, but those who have love it. It is on the main and upper concourses at Red Hots.
tswinders: Derrick, just wondering about the status of Cody Ross and Adam Eaton. How are they coming along on their injuries and when they might be back? I know Adam's was far worse than Cody's.
Derrick_Hall: Cody is much closer to joining us. He is beginning a rehab assignment today in Visalia and we will hopefully see him up here at some point next week. Adam began hitting in the cages again today, but will not be throwing for several weeks.
ssher25: Outside of the incredible sweet 16-inning win this morning -- awesome game and worth the lack of sleep any day -- what has been your "sweet" moment by or for a fan and player so far this season.
Derrick_Hall: Having Brandon Webb back to throw out the first pitch on Opening Day was special to me. As for players, it is difficult to choose. Parra, Goldy and Prado have been terrific, but Ian Kennedy's start got me excited.
snakesnos: Can you offer any insight into Heath Bell's performance on Monday? It was suggested that he may have been tipping his pitches. Was it Opening Day jitters?
Derrick_Hall: They are already breaking down video on the outing and I am confident he will get corrected. It was a matter of location, which should not be a huge concern to correct. His velocity and arm strength was great. This is a big positive.
dbacker89: Hello Mr. Hall! I just want to say you've done a fantastic job with this organization on all fronts. From on field to off field -- it's an amazing environment. No real question, just wanted to let you know we appreciate you.
Derrick_Hall: Thank you so much for the kind words. It is not me. It is our incredibly creative, talented and passionate staff. They bleed Sedona Red and whistle while they work. Best front office team in all of sports -- no doubt!
tswinders: How is Didi progressing as well? He looked good with the bat in the spring.
Derrick_Hall: He is going on a rehab assignment as well and should not be far off. He will go to Reno on the 8th. His bat was really encouraging this spring, especially since his reputation is as a stellar fielder.
mattopi: Hey Derrick, really appreciate the time you take to connect with fans. As a sports HR professional, I can't state how impressed I have been with the D-backs organization and the culture you've been able to foster. What advice do you have for someone hoping to get into the business?
Derrick_Hall: We have a wonderful culture and it keeps getting better and better. I always recommend just getting your foot in the door, any way you can. Be it an entry level position, an internship, etc. Like any industry, just get the door open and then impress everyone around you.
todd3_: Could you please give us the details of Goldschmidt's contract?
Derrick_Hall: It is a five-year deal with a club option for a sixth. It locks him in with us through his arbitration years and one of his free agent years, with the potential for two free agent years. Great deal for both. Love the kid!
Dbacker: What is the latest round in your fight against cancer?
Derrick_Hall: Thanks for asking. My last two blood tests have come back in our favor, with cancer not being detectable. I am still going every three months for now, but let's hope this is the trend for go.
vindeaz: One win playing small ball, one win hitting the long ball, what do you think will be the norm? Pre-season the talk was small ball, but these guys have some pop!
Derrick_Hall: Well, the media has fed off of this small ball notion, and there is some truth to that. We have been confident that our team would find ways to score other than the three-run homer. However, I have always said and believed that this team has plenty of power with Goldy, Miggy, Hill, Prado, Ross, Chavez, Hinske, and on and on. We have a lot of power, but we also have selfless players who will sacrifice themselves and their at-bats for the good of the team. That's where the small ball will take place. We showed a lot of pop last night, but we really won because of the small ball infused throughout that game. These guys never give up.
Derrick_Hall: We are out of time for this month. Thanks so much for joining me and for your support of this team. Go D-backs!

Agencies using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to protect sensitive but unclassified data must move to later versions of the protocol that correct vulnerabilities found in version 1.0.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has revised its guidance for using TLS in Special Publication 800-52. Originally released in 2005, the publication was withdrawn in March 2013 while it was updated to include requirements for using versions 1.1 and 1.2 of TLS and to restrict the use of the vulnerable version.
TLS is a standard of the Internet Engineering Task Force for securing connections between clients and servers over untrusted networks. Although TLS is based on Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), it is separate from OpenSSL, a commonly used open source tool which was recently found to contain a serious vulnerability that has been named Heartbleed. The vulnerabilities found in TLS are not related to Heartbleed.
The new guidance requires that servers supporting government applications support TLS 1.1 at a minimum and that they should support version 1.2. Government clients are allowed to support the vulnerable TLS 1.0 in order to connect with non-government servers when necessary, but the later versions of the protocol must be used by the government client when they are supported by the server being contacted.
Agencies must develop migration plans to support TLS 1.2 by Jan. 1.
TLS uses public key cryptography to exchange keys used to encrypt and secure sensitive information being sent over the Internet. It is based on SSL version 3.0, and is sometimes referred to as SSL 3.1. Because of the improvements in TLS, it is specified for use in government systems, although SSL and OpenSSL also are commonly used in private sector applications. SP 800-52 Revision 1 provides guidance on using the later versions of TLS, with options for configuration, algorithms and length of encryption keys.
Government servers are not allowed to use TLS 1.0 or SSL 3.0. It is recommended that servers support multiple public key certificates in order to support multiple algorithms and key sizes, depending on the specified keys of the client. Six TLS server certificates are approved for use on government servers:
At a minimum, the server must be configured with the RSA key encipherment certificate and should also have either the RSA or ECDSA signature certificate. Certificates must be issued by a certificate authority, not self-signed.
The Heartbleed vulnerability discovered in OpenSSL and announced last month was the result of an "improvement" made in the open source tool, which disabled a memory management feature intended to prevent security leaks. This allowed data to leak in 64-kilobyte chunks that could be used to recover crypto keys or other sensitive information.
This "improvement" was fixed in version 1.0.1g of OpenSSL, but the process of updating installations of vulnerable versions, revoking and reissuing keys and resetting passwords and other credentials could take quite a while to complete.

Hi Everyone
I hope your all doing well?
My names Fiona and I live in the UK and I was hoping to get some support from ladies with PCOS trying to conceive?
A little background, I'm 29 (30 at the end of July) and my DH is also 29 (30 later this year) we got married mid April 2016 and I came off the pill end of April.
When I was about 15 I had blood tests and a scan to check if I have PCOS as I had excess body hair and it came back borderline. It was fine then as I was young and just put on the pill to help with it, however now me and my DH are TTC it's become an issue.
We have tried as I say since May last year and in Jan this year after 9 months with no BFP, I decided I should go to the Dr's to get checked out as I suspected I did definitely have PCOS. Blood tests were normal but my recent scan showed I do have Polycystic ovaries.
My periods have been irregular (anywhere from 27 days to 45 days) I have temped which some months seem to show ovulation and used OPKs which showed a definite elevation in LH then back to negative. (I know women with PCOS tend to have higher levels of LH so OPKs aren't always reliable).
I'm due to go to my Dr's on Thur for a discussion about next steps, I presume DH will need to be checked out and if he is ok I will be given some medication to help me ovulate?
I have recently made some healthy lifestyle changes and have lost 15lbs in 5 weeks as I read losing weight can help kick start ovulation?
Anyway sorry that went on much longer than I had intended but I'd love to hear from you ladies who have been through this and can give me some help, advice, success stories etc.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
