Pope Immunity: Vatican Will Protect Benedict From Sexual Abuse Prosecution
Pope Immunity: Vatican Will Protect Benedict From Sexual Abuse Prosecution
(Reuters) - Pope Benedict's decision to live in the Vatican after he resigns will provide him with security and privacy. It will also offer legal protection from any attempt to prosecute him in connection with sexual abuse cases around the world, Church sources and legal experts say.
"His continued presence in the Vatican is necessary, otherwise he might be defenseless. He wouldn't have his immunity, his prerogatives, his security, if he is anywhere else," said one Vatican official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"It is absolutely necessary" that he stays in the Vatican, said the source, adding that Benedict should have a "dignified existence" in his remaining years.
Vatican sources said officials had three main considerations in deciding that Benedict should live in a convent in the Vatican after he resigns on February 28.
Vatican police, who already know the pope and his habits, will be able to guarantee his privacy and security and not have to entrust it to a foreign police force, which would be necessary if he moved to another country.
"I see a big problem if he would go anywhere else. I'm thinking in terms of his personal security, his safety. We don't have a secret service that can devote huge resources (like they do) to ex-presidents," the official said.
Another consideration was that if the pope did move permanently to another country, living in seclusion in a monastery in his native Germany, for example, the location might become a place of pilgrimage.
This could be complicated for the Church, particularly in the unlikely event that the next pope makes decisions that may displease conservatives, who could then go to Benedict's place of residence to pay tribute to him.
"That would be very problematic," another Vatican official said.
The final key consideration is the pope's potential exposure to legal claims over the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandals.
In 2010, for example, Benedict was named as a defendant in a law suit alleging that he failed to take action as a cardinal in 1995 when he was allegedly told about a priest who had abused boys at a U.S. school for the deaf decades earlier. The lawyers withdrew the case last year and the Vatican said it was a major victory that proved the pope could not be held liable for the actions of abusive priests.
Benedict is currently not named specifically in any other case. The Vatican does not expect any more but is not ruling out the possibility.
"(If he lived anywhere else) then we might have those crazies who are filing lawsuits, or some magistrate might arrest him like other (former) heads of state have been for alleged acts while he was head of state," one source said.
Another official said: "While this was not the main consideration, it certainly is a corollary, a natural result."
After he resigns, Benedict will no longer be the sovereign monarch of the State of Vatican City, which is surrounded by Rome, but will retain Vatican citizenship and residency.
That would continue to provide him immunity under the provisions of the Lateran Pacts while he is in the Vatican and even if he makes jaunts into Italy as a Vatican citizen.
The 1929 Lateran Pacts between Italy and the Holy See, which established Vatican City as a sovereign state, said Vatican City would be "invariably and in every event considered as neutral and inviolable territory".
There have been repeated calls for Benedict's arrest over sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
When Benedict went to Britain in 2010, British author and atheist campaigner Richard Dawkins asked authorities to arrest the pope to face questions over the Church's child abuse scandal.
Dawkins and the late British-American journalist Christopher Hitchens commissioned lawyers to explore ways of taking legal action against the pope. Their efforts came to nothing because the pope was a head of state and so enjoyed diplomatic immunity.
In 2011, victims of sexual abuse by the clergy asked the International Criminal Court to investigate the pope and three Vatican officials over sexual abuse.
The New York-based rights group Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and another group, Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), filed a complaint with the ICC alleging that Vatican officials committed crimes against humanity because they tolerated and enabled sex crimes.
The ICC has not taken up the case but has never said why. It generally does not comment on why it does not take up cases.
The Vatican has consistently said that a pope cannot be held accountable for cases of abuse committed by others because priests are employees of individual dioceses around the world and not direct employees of the Vatican. It says the head of the church cannot be compared to the CEO of a company.
Victims groups have said Benedict, particularly in his previous job at the head of the Vatican's doctrinal department, turned a blind eye to the overall policies of local Churches, which moved abusers from parish to parish instead of defrocking them and handing them over to authorities.
The Vatican has denied this. The pope has apologized for abuse in the Church, has met with abuse victims on many of his trips, and ordered a major investigation into abuse in Ireland.
But groups representing some of the victims say the Pope will leave office with a stain on his legacy because he was in positions of power in the Vatican for more than three decades, first as a cardinal and then as pope, and should have done more.
The scandals began years before the then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected pope in 2005 but the issue has overshadowed his papacy from the beginning, as more and more cases came to light in dioceses across the world.
As recently as last month, the former archbishop of Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger Mahony, was stripped by his successor of all public and administrative duties after a thousands of pages of files detailing abuse in the 1980s were made public.
Mahony, who was archbishop of Los Angeles from 1985 until 2011, has apologized for "mistakes" he made as archbishop, saying he had not been equipped to deal with the problem of sexual misconduct involving children. The pope was not named in that case.
In 2007, the Los Angeles archdiocese, which serves 4 million Catholics, reached a $660 million civil settlement with more than 500 victims of child molestation, the biggest agreement of its kind in the United States.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the pope "gave the fight against sexual abuse a new impulse, ensuring that new rules were put in place to prevent future abuse and to listen to victims. That was a great merit of his papacy and for that we will be grateful".

He shouldn't be elect as Pope in the first place, if he was involved in cover up :(
Quoting ..MoonShine..:
Ugh. If he was involved in helping to cover things up, as Pope or before he was Pope, he should be held accountable.
Probably very damning one.
Quoting Woodbabe:
Wow, makes me really wonder what kind of evidence they have on him!
Next Pope Rumors And The Legacy Of Benedict XVI
The religion beat has been dominated by pope news over the last week and there's sure more to come as we inch close to Pope Benedict XVI's last day in office on February 28. In case you've got lost in the flurry of pope news, here are just a few of the weekend's headlines.
-- Will there be an early conclave? Maybe. Maybe not. Some cardinals, such as New York's Archbishop Timothy Dolan and Paris' Archbishop André Vingt-Trois, have come out against the idea that's being floated of an early election of the new pope (h/t @Tornielli via @roccopalmo).
-- How about a pope from the U.S.? Dolan says people who think he will become the first American pope are smoking dope (NY Post).
-- At National Catholic Reporter, Vatican scribe John Allen, Jr. is penning a daily profile of each of the papabili (men who could be the next pope). His first piece is on Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana. Separately, Allen also notes that the Italian press is buzzing over Boston's Cardinal Sean O'Malley.
-- Washington Post's Jason Horowitz takes a step away from the "next pope" predictions to dive into VatiLeaks and "a fractured Vatican full of rivalries."
-- Italian Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, one of the 117 who will elect the new pope, says fellow Cardinal Roger Mahony should take a hint and not show up for the papal conclave. Thousands of personnel files released last month by the Los Angeles archdiocese pointed toward Mahony covering up child abuse by priests during his leadership (La Repubblica via Global Post).
-- China's reaction to the pope's resignation offers an insight into the nation's unusual relationship with the church. It allows Catholics to worship, but they can only publicly do so in state-run churches that do not answer to the Vatican. Agence-France Press takes a look.
-- Closer to home, Frank Bruni says that most American Catholic's don't really care about what the pope and the Vatican have to say.
-- Benedict's official biographer claims the pope went blind in the left eye and had lost weight from the pressure of the papacy (International Business Times).
-- The pope's on his weeklong Lenten retreat, but that doesn't mean the news stops. This time, he's being aided by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi of Italy, who is leading the retreat and tweeting from it (Ravasi is one of many picks among church observers for the next pope).
-- Just in case you were wondering: the cardinals who will elect the new pope are banned from tweeting the process.
-- At USA Today, Mary Johnson, a former sister with the Missionaries of Charity, says the pope was revolutionary because "he treated the papacy not like a sacrament or a monarchy, but a job."
-- Bill Keller says the church is not just a church, but a troubled "a closely held conglomerate" that needs a "serious relaunch" now that it's "C.E.O" is stepping down. Some Catholics, as you can imagine, are not happy with the description (NY Times).
-- Nobody knows what Benedict will be called once he's no longer pope (h/t @roccopalmo) and it's also unclear what name the new pope will take. But Jimmy Akin, who runs http://www.popenamesbook.com/ (he also wrote an e-book by that name) has some interesting observations. Here's a snippet: there have been 265 popes but only 81 names used for them.

Quoting Sisteract:
Not surprised at all.
I am glad that the Church will be lead by a more skilled and appropriate Vicar in Christ.
I think so
Quoting stormcris:
So this is why he stepped down.
Quoting annabl1970:
He shouldn't be elect as Pope in the first place, if he was involved in cover up :(
Quoting ..MoonShine..:
Ugh. If he was involved in helping to cover things up, as Pope or before he was Pope, he should be held accountable.
It's like "preventive measure"
Quoting LucyMom08:
I think he should be prosecuted anyway. Make an example and legal precedent of him...he's no longer 'Head of State', why should he be afforded extraneous courtesy?
Yep. Twisted moral compass up there in Vatican...
Quoting ashellbell:
That's just disturbing. What a bunch of assholes. No to gay marriage, yes to hiding the sexual abuse of small children. Seems legit.

The Biennial of the Americas, the month-long mini World's Fair that ends today, is being hailed as a success by organizers who point to strong attendance and a diversity of cultural events.
But some who took part say that the focus could have been honed and that the public still had a hard time understanding what the collection of art exhibits and political discussions was all about.
"My bias is, 'Oh, my God, amazed we pulled this off,' " said Donna Good, president of operations and finance.
When organizers began planning the Biennial of the Americas eight months ago, they had no performers or artists confirmed, and their bank account was empty. By July, 95 percent of the $2.5 million budget had been raised and hundreds of events were scheduled.
The Biennial came in under budget by about $200,000, which, when added to funding pledges, means organizers will be in the black about $450,000 when they begin planning the next Biennial. They hope to hold the event every two years in Denver.
Despite the elation over pulling the Biennial off, organizers would have liked to have done more.
"The biggest challenge was the economy," Mayor John Hickenlooper said. "It's hard to pull this event off in a worldwide recession when you have a bare-bones budget."
For the next Biennial, Good said, organizers will start planning a year in advance and organize events for the public to sustain interest.
"Less time dreaming, more time building," she said.
The nature of success
But did the Biennial meet its lofty goals of boosting tourism, grabbing national attention and branding Denver as an international city?
The Biennial ends today, so final numbers are not in. But organizers point to visitor increases at the McNichols Building's "The Nature of Things" exhibit — which featured more than two dozen artists — and strong attendance at some roundtables.
For the roundtables and bigger cultural events, including the McNichols events and exhibits, 12,000 tickets were sold.
"The Nature of Things" drew between 200 and 300 viewers per day — solid numbers, considering the exhibit's contemporary focus, with almost no traditional paintings and heavy on concept-driven works. Biennial curator Paola Santoscoy got high marks from critics for attempting to fulfill such grand expectations.
National attention and any effect on the city's reputation are much harder to measure. Organizers painted a rosy picture, but some expressed regret at not getting the word out sooner — or more clearly.
"It needs to be honed somehow," said Ivar Ziele, whose Plus Gallery is hosting the Biennial-related "You Are Here" art exhibit through Aug. 20. "People seemed to be a little confused by it."
Good countered that some people confuse broad appeal with a lack of focus.
"It was our attempt not to be diffuse but to be diverse," she said. "We were trying to appeal to many different constituencies, like business leaders, Latina grassroots organizers, artists."
A hub of conversation
Cross-pollination among the artistic, business and political communities was one of the primary goals, said Erin Trapp, director of the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs.
"People who were interested in political discussions became more interested in the art component, and vice versa," she said.
For his part, Hickenlooper wanted to create a hub in which dignitaries and business leaders connected. One goal was to turn people's attention from Europe and China toward the Western Hemisphere, to appreciate cultural and trade opportunities here.
Certainly, the Biennial helped boost numbers at galleries during normally slow July.
"This first Biennial . . . brought a new level of excitement about art and ideas into the city," said Christoph Heinrich, director of the Denver Art Museum, which hosted Biennial-related photography and video installations and highlighted its existing art collections from around the Americas.
The 28,000-square-foot McNichols building was envisioned as the star of the Biennial, with more than half of the $2.5 million budget spent on its renovation, according to Biennial communications director Rachel Chaparro.
The pink columns of fabric draped in front of the building acted as signage for the Biennial and the progressive art exhibit inside.
Palette for learning
It was successful in drawing tourists and increasing foot traffic, said Amy Baker, the building's event manager.
The brief planning window and $200,000 marketing budget didn't allow for extensive media outreach, Chaparro said, but organizers said the Biennial did receive substantial media coverage statewide. The city's tourism arm, Visit Denver, distributed news releases nationally and internationally.
"There's always things you can do better, and we did pretty well, in terms of awareness," Trapp said. "We could probably penetrate a little more of the mainstream venues. We'd love to do more concerts at Red Rocks next time, for example."
McNichols visitors from as far away as Hawaii, France, Iraq and New Zealand took time to sign the comments book. Many were positive.
But a handful of notes said not enough people knew where the McNichols Building was before coming — or what the Biennial was.
Still, organizers expressed overall satisfaction.
"We put something together that was really bigger and more far-reaching and diverse than any of us thought could happen nine months ago," Good said.

Your current filters are…
Simon has spent a decade working with some of the most demanding projects and clients known to man (with scars to prove it), and has established a rigorous yet flexible approach to getting the best from the brief, the client and the creative team, whilst never compromising on audience needs.
Theoretical, practical and hands-on, Simon's workshop will follow the project journey from beginning to launch—and beyond. You'll learn about backbone and research, collaboration, methodology, convention, prototyping, testing, narrative and much more, with a strong emphasis on maximising creativity throughout. Whatever your experience, you'll learn common sense and engaging approaches for dealing with client projects big or small.
In an era of fast-moving markets and leap-frogging innovators, companies can no longer merely "unlock" wealth. Today they have to actively "create" wealth, or end up in the fossil layers of business history. As a result, brand-builders have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a key role in the next management revolution—the rise of the designful company.
In his session, Marty will explain why design thinking—in its broadest sense—will become the new best practice, and how you can leverage your unique position as a brand-builder to transform the way business does business in the 21st century.
The actual process of design, the path you take on the way to creating something, is in many ways a "meta object" that can be applied to any design problem.
Ever since his first experiences with the humble ZX81 back in the early eighties, Brendan has continued to explore the interplay of people, code, design and art both in his role leading the team at mN and on brendandawes.com, a personal space where he publishes random thoughts, toys and projects created from an eclectic mix of digital and analog objects.
In this session Brendan talks through his three step process: boil—filling your head with many ideas and possibilties, simmer—taking time to consider, and finally reduce—removing things till there's nothing left to take away.
by John Gruber
Why is it that some projects never rise to the level of the talent of those who made it? It's oft said regarding good work that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. But sometimes the whole is less than the sum of its parts—a company or team comprised of good people, but yet which produces work that isn't good.
In his session, John will explain his theory to explain how this happens—in both directions—based on the longstanding collaborative art of filmmaking. Learn how to recognise when a project is doomed to mediocrity, and, more importantly, how best to achieve collaborative success.
Have you ever had a spontaneous creative triumph, perfectly in sync with your team?
A passionate believer in improvisation as a design skill, Hannah's session will talk about the importance of this technique in her own design process and what lessons can be borrowed from improvised music.
From the jazz masters to the humble basement band practice, musical concepts such as timing, structure, rolls and expression have many lessons for designers creating an off-the-cuff interface.
Hannah will explore how the methods of music translate for a design/development team, as well as sharing personal stories and techniques for those times when you need a bit of a jam session.
by Merlin Mann
Freud popularised the term, "The Narcissism of Minor Differences", to describe how adjacent villages—identical for all practical purposes—would struggle to amplify their tiniest distinctions in order to justify how much they despised one other. So you have to guess how much he would have enjoyed design mailing lists. And, Perl.
Truth is, to the untrained (un-washed, un-nuanced, un-Paul-Rand'd, and un-Helvetica'd) outsider, discourse in the design community can sometimes look a lot like a cluster of tightly-wound Freudian villages.
So, how is the role of design perceived by the people who are using the stuff you make? What role (if any) should users expect in the process of how their world is made and remade? What contexts might be useful in helping us turn all of our obsessions into useful and beautiful work?
Can an Aeron chair ever be truly 'Black'? Will there ever be a way to get Marketing people to stop calling typefaces 'fonts'? And, when, at last, will the international community finally speak as one regarding the overuse of Mistral and stock photos of foreshortened Asian women?
By leveraging his uniquely unqualified understanding of design, Merlin will propose some promising patterns for fording the gap between end-users and the unhappy-looking people in costly European eyeglasses who are designing their world.
Is there hope? Come to Brighton, pull up a flawlessly-executed mid-century-Modern seating affordance, and we'll see what we can figure out together. One village to another.

When I first kissed on the cleavage she left out a slight moan and in my head, I was saying to myself wow, this is finally happening. I started pressing her boobs over her top with my left hand while my right hand was exploring her navel and my mouth was moving near her ear lobes.

I was simultaneously pressing her ass cheeks were one hand & her breast with the other…She took my dick in her mouth & started sucking it moving her tongue around the tip and the shaft. I was enjoying every moment of it…My cock erected like a steel rod upwards…And I felt it's time to drill her pussy with my hard cock….
She really had a tight hole…she started crying a bit due to pain…. Since she was all wet it was easy to go in….I pushed my dick inside….She shouted once n held me very tightly so tight that I could feel her nails at my back…. Gradually I started fucking her slowly and then….I went fast… Moved my cock faster and faster deep inside her pussy…. She had her legs wrapped around me….N I was fucking her like a monster….. After around 10 minutes she cummed….And I keep on moving my cock inside her pussy for about 20 mins. Then I took out my dick and cummed in the bedsheet…. She was lying on the bed….

It's official. She wants it.
And frankly, it could be refreshing to have somebody who hasn't been a diehard political operative in that seat.
Her move raises the pressure on New York Governor David Paterson either to choose her or to select someone else soon, as Kennedy's rivals for the seat have already begun to respond to the possibility of her entrance by raising questions about her qualifications and her role in defeating Clinton. But she's a close ally of President-elect Barack Obama, and Paterson is not particularly indebted to the Clintons.
She's also reportedly hired a political consultant, Josh Isay, close to Chuck Schumer; his presence indicates that Schumer — a key player here — at least doesn't object to Kennedy's bid.
That news about Schumer is important because he probably has a ton of pull when it comes to this pick too.
However, she's facing some internal opposition because of her "superstar" status and support of Obama early on…
"This isn't a jihad or anything, but I'd be lying to you if I said that supporters of Hillary don't remember where she was in the primary," said Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, a possible mayoral candidate who is close to the former first lady.
A senior Democrat said Clinton supporters had expressed their resentment over a possible Kennedy pick to people around Paterson, and that tacit resistance has opened the door to other members of the congressional delegation to violate party taboos and directly criticize a Kennedy.
"I don't know what Caroline Kennedy's qualifications are, except that she has name recognition, but so does J.Lo," another Queens congressman, Gary Ackerman, quipped during a radio interview Monday. "I wouldn't make J.Lo the senator unless she proved she had great qualifications, but we haven't seen them yet."
Manhattan Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who has hired a one-time Paterson consultant to lobby for the Senate appointment, was overheard complaining about Kennedy's "complete lack of experience" to friends on the floor of the House on Wednesday, according to a member who was within earshot.
My question…is Hillary against Caroline? It seems like once you lose you just have to accept that the person who won has far more leverage and work with them instead of holding grudges. Hillary's move to Foggy Bottom shows that this is probably her state of mind, so why hasn't that POV translated to her supporters?
Still, with Edward Kennedy actively pushing Caroline, my guess is that she's a lock for this position.
More as it develops…

i put this on my favorite
Thank you! ^.^
the ending is horrible
It would be hypocritical of me to say considering my last review, I really enjoyed this animation despite it's short length.
It was straight to the point, and had a rather nice pay-off considering the apparent simplicity of the title. I especially liked water's face when he reformed on the ground.
The animation I cannot blame you for whatsoever and it will not count towards the score. However I am curious of a few things. Where is god standing if he can look unto the earth yet there are pyramids about? Did he place pyramids onto the earth later? Is that where they came from?
What is in the background beyond the earth?
God served his purpose to the animation yet for some reason I can't help but laugh at his simple house in desert swamp-sky land.
It was just a pleasure to watch, and I certainly hope that you submit more content to newgrounds in the future. Perhaps even a remake of this when you are more skilled, now that would be epic. You could even have temples devoted to each element and their human worshippers in the future and have them fight once again and instead create the Moon (Earth and Air in particularly winning it out over water and fire) with the populace looking onward. Though I think that's a little ambitious if this was just for college. Give it a shot when you feel more experienced and see if you like it.
To explain my rating; In the grand scheme, this animation lacks depth. (Obviously, being just a simple fight between the elements and done on a dead-line for school.) Though I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I really hope to see more coming from you in the future and I appreciate you submitting your animation to Newgrounds. Thank you.
Thanks for your very helpfull review! It means a lot me and I really appreciate the time you took type up such a large piece.
Concerning the background. I meant for it be kind of dreamscape. It doesn't make sense to me either! I researched a lot of Salvador Dali's paintings for the project and a lot of his work is set in a dreamscape background. Kinda like a vast desert of nothing.
I plan on working on some more of my own flash cartoons now that I have more free time but since I'm a beginner they may vary in quality of the animation and have a few hiccups like the one here.
I'm very glad you enjoyed and thanks again for the support!
To be honest, I like it; especially the concept. Just some issues I can find; at certain times the characters simply jump from one place to another. Like the moment after the water extinguish the fire. Another one would be the close-up of the fire- you should make its' flames move at that moment too, looks awkward to be static only at that time.
Keep it up!
Thanks for the helpful review!
I noticed these problems too while making the cartoon but as the project was for a deadline in college, I ran out of time to fix things like these. I was thinking about fixing them before uploading to NG and YouTube but decided against it as I wanted to move on to working on other stuff.
Thanks again!
Not bad...

Story highlights
- The ad is an example of the risks Republicans in close contests take when they support Trump
- Nevada holds the one Democratic Senate seat Republicans have a reasonable chance of winning
Washington (CNN)On Wednesday, Nevada Republican Rep. Joe Heck told CNN he trusts Donald Trump to have his finger on the nuclear button.
Less than 24 hours later, that response became the centerpiece of a major new ad against his candidacy for the hotly-contested open Senate seat in Nevada, the one Democratic seat Republicans have a reasonable chance of winning this November. It's another example of the risks Republicans in close contests take when they align themselves with Trump.
Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, a former state attorney general, believes she can capitalize on Heck's unflinching trust in the controversial GOP presidential candidate to shake up the race, which appears to be a dead heat.
The two are running to replace Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid who has held the seat for 30 years. With control of the Senate up for grabs, the outcome of the race could determine which party controls the Senate.
Republicans currently have a 54-46 advantage in the Senate. While there are several GOP seats in play, Reid's is the only Democratic seat Republicans have a serious chance to take over.
Several Democratic campaigns have worked in key battleground states even before Trump became the nominee to tie every GOP candidate to the billionaire and some of his most provocative statements.
Unlike Heck, not all those Senate candidates have backed Trump.
"At this time, I feel that when you look at the options, the individual who probably has the best ability to rebuild our national defense and change our economy is our current nominee," Heck told the Reno Gazette Journal last month.
The new ad uses clips from two Nevada Republicans elected statewide -- Gov. Brian Sandoval and Sen. Dean Heller -- each expressing concerns about Trump.
"Let's be very, very clear, I do not support Trump," Heller is shown saying.
It then turns to a clip from a TV story from CNN's Manu Raju interviewing Heck as they walk through a basement hallway in the Capitol on Wednesday.
"You trust him to have his finger on the nuclear button?" Raju asks.
"I do," Heck responds.
"Why do you say that?" Raju pressed.
"Why wouldn't I?" Heck answered.
Cortez Masto's campaign said it will spend several hundred thousand dollars on the ads, which will air in Reno and Las Vegas.
It remains to be seen if the ad -- which implies Trump could be a reckless commander in chief -- will be effective against Heck, who has a long military background. Heck is a brigadier general in the Army Reserves who served twice in Iraq. He is also a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Brian Baluta, a spokesman for Heck, cited the congressman's military experience in dismissing the ad.
"This is an ad from a candidate who supports putting Iran on the path to a nuclear bomb, and has no problem with her mentor, Harry Reid, blocking funding for our troops in the US Senate," Baluta said. "If Ms. Cortez Masto wants to make this race about which candidate has the knowledge and experience to keep us safe, then we are confident Nevadans will choose Iraq veteran and Brigadier General Joe Heck."
Also, Heck's trust in Trump may pay political dividends for the Nevadan because the GOP presidential candidate is essentially tied with Democrat Hillary Clinton in a state that President Barack Obama won twice.
In the story that aired on CNN that included the Heck interview, several other Republican members of the House and Senate -- including party leaders -- also said they trusted Trump with the nuclear codes.

I have sold a property at 14307 95A AVE in Edmonton.
This could be your view! Pie lot, measuring 90 feet across the back, with a premium setting facing Crestwood park with mature trees in a quiet crescent. Great potential for a rebuild or renovation, by rebuilding a new garage tucked in the opposite corner, you would have a spacious yard to enjoy. This bungalow has lots of original character. The hardwood floors are in great condition! Just over 1500 sq feet this can be a wonderful family home. Different layout from many other bungalows in the neighbourhood. Pleasant entry way. Large Living Dining room. Spacious kitchen with open plan area which includes a breakfast nook and the main floor Laundry. Master bedroom is a good size with a 3 piece en-suite. Two further bedrooms and a 4 piece bath complete the main floor. The basement is finished with a huge recreation room, second Laundry room, 3 piece bath and two other rooms one of which was used as a bedroom the other a workshop. Well landscaped yard and a double detached garage completes the property.

SAN FRANCISCO — Boston Red Sox first baseman David Ortiz left Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants in the fifth inning because of tightness in his lower back.
"It's just general soreness," Red Sox manager John Farrell said after the Red Sox beat the Giants 12-1. "He's played first base two of the last three days and he's not used to it."
Ortiz was hitless in three at-bats in Boston's win on Wednesday, striking out his last two times at the plate. He came out of the game following the top of the fifth inning and was replaced by Mike Napoli.
"With the lead I thought we could get him off his feet and protect him," Farrell said.
Ortiz entered the day batting .323 with 24 home runs and 78 RBIs.
The Red Sox have a day off before opening a series at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.

The "Fidelodyne" — My #27 Radio
I didn't know that I was building this one until today. My boss man came back this morning with this neat cigar box and an idea on how my next set might look. He thought that the cigar box should look like a cigar box on the outside and a radio could be built inside. This box was big enough for a superhet but I like to build crystal sets the best, so here it is.
This radio uses my favorite circuit as described in my #12 set. I did decide to use one of my Faradon .001 uf capacitors here. The holes were made for a wire to stick through, so I drilled them big enough to put a #8 screw through. I changed the width between the earphone and antenna connections from 3/4 inch to 1-3/16 inch. The capacitor fit over the screws perfectly.
I didn't want to hide the pretty picture where the coil was to go, so I screwed the coil connection to a small angle bracket and screwed that to the edge of the lid. As you can see, I had to "adjust" the box a little so that the coil would fold down. After I finished drilling the holes, I noticed that the picture wasn't quite in the center. I made it look the best I could.
I was trying to think of a cute name for this set and since these were "Havana Cigars", I am calling this my "Fidelodyne"! No political comments will be made. Make up your own.
As usual this set picked up stations as soon as the connections were made. I used a crystal earphone but a magnetic high impedance headphones will work fine too. Can't say much more about my Fidelodyne except that this set really smokes!
Best wishes and good DX. Dave - N2DS

What is Opal?
Geology of Opal
There is a marked difference between the value of uncut opal and that of a cut and polished stone.
Imitation Opal
Mining Opal
Miners, with a Mining Permit, can peg a claim either 50m x 5Om or 5Om x IOOm to mine for opal.
The earlier form of mining was by sinking or digging a shaft with a pick and shovel. Driving or tunnelling along the level was then carried out with picks and shovels. When traces of opal are found a handpick or screwdriver is used.
Nowadays most if not all prospecting shafts are made by using a Calweld-type drill which are used to excavate holes about one metre in diameter using an auger bucket The drills can dig to a maximum depth of about 28 to-30 metres and the opal fields are pitted with thousands of abandoned Calweld shafts.
Waste material or mullock, from the shafts and drives, was originally lifted to the surface by hand windlass, later being replaced by power winches (Yorke hoists) or automatic bucket tippers. Today truck-mounted blowers, which operate like vacuum cleaners, are more commonly used for bringing mullock to the surface.
Since the 1970's, there has been a rapid increase in the use of mining machines. Tunnelling machines with revolving cutting heads and small underground front-end loaders, called boggers, have been introduced.
There is a marked difference between the value of uncut opal and that of a cut and polished stone.
Bulldozers are employed to remove overburden and expose the level where it is shallow. Spotters follow behind watching for opal and the seam is then worked over by handpick.
Most cutters prefer to produce the opal as a solid cut en cabochon if the gem is sufficiently thick.
This is the process of searching through heaps of discarded mullock for pieces of opal missed by the miners. Many locals make a living off this method and it is popular with tourists. Permission must be obtained from the claim owner to fossick on his/her claim. The most productive heaps are those excavated by bulldozers where opal may have been crushed or overlooked by careless operators. Noodling machines, in which mullock is passed through a darkroom on a conveyor belt beneath ultra violet lights are also used, and this is another form of mining. Great care must be taken on the opal fields due to the thousands of open shafts.

You are reading Tonight at the Beveridge Place – a Special Cask of a Special Beer by Kendall Jones, as originally posted on The Washington Beer Blog.
I keep telling people (magazine editors mostly) that this "barrel-aged beer thing" is really catching on. That it is a big deal. That it is a trend showing no sign of slowing. You, fellow beer aficionado, already know this to be true. Tonight the Beveridge Place Pub (blog sponsor) taps into a cask of a very special barrel-aged beer from Two Beers Brewing.
As we reported last week, Two Beers Brewing is about to release the first in a new series of beers. The Alta Series is a new line of small-batch, high-gravity, barrel-aged beers that will be available in bottles only. Tonight's event is a preview of the first beer in the series, Switchback Russian Imperial Stout, which will be officially released at the brewery's tap room on Saturday, February 2.
Tonight at 6:00 the Beveridge Place Pub will tap into a cask (the only cask) of Switchback Russian Imperial Stout. The Alta Series is all about bottles. I have little doubt that the beer will be spectacular. Read our previous story to learn more about the beer and the Alta Series.

The Swans are back on song with a 63-point thrashing of Adelaide at Adelaide Oval, but it may be at a price with Jarrad McVeigh on report for rough conduct.
The alleged incident happened nine minutes into the game involving Matthew Jaensch.
The Crows are hurting badly, not only losing their third game in capitulating fashion, but with Scott Thompson (corked thigh), Sam Kerridge (eye) and Mitch Grigg (abductor strain).
In a damning statistic, Adelaide's opposition has kicked 30 of the last 34 goals in the three matches against it – Geelong the last six, Port Adelaide 12 of the last 15, and now Sydney 12 of the last 13.
Crows' coach Brenton Sanderson said the club was not pushing the panic button, but admitted: "We're leaning on it."
"Links in the chain are breaking down . . . we are not working together as a team defensively," he said.
"We will keep on looking at the make-up of our team . . . and keep trying to find out answers," he said. "We can't keep capitulating like we have; that's three weeks in a row.
"It's something that's got to be addressed pretty quickly. An eight-day break going into the game against St Kilda . . . we've got to make sure we find out what the problems are and fix them up.
"It is unacceptable for our fans who want to see footy played the right way. We are not playing well for four quarters.
"We've got to work on a lot of different strategies . . . to make sure we don't start the season 0-4.
"Today we were just not good enough for long enough. That fourth quarter, once again the players were trying as hard as they could but they could not sustain the onslaught."
Sydney coach John Longmire was delighted. "We really played the game right out. To kick 12 of the last 13 goals – seven goals in the last quarter – and importantly to keep them down as well, it was a really strong performance.
"Our leaders were terrific, they really stood up."
Longmire was also pleased with Lance Franklin. "He had a really good game for us," he said.

Things you did that your kids will never do
Published 1:10 pm, Thursday, March 20, 2014
You rode around the neighborhood on your bike with a pack of kids. Not an adult in sight. No cell phone in your pocket. If you needed to call Mom, you found a pay phone or hopped into a friend's house and dialed on a rotary phone.
After a whirl around the neighborhood, a game of kickball in the street and a climb up your neighbor's tree, you took a swig from the lead-laced hose in your front yard and ran into the house where your entire family sat around the table for dinner.
Those were the good old days? The freedom and independence kids enjoyed were certainly exceptional. The time spent outside running around was another huge plus. There were downsides. Kids didn't wear bike helmets or seat belts. We didn't know about the lead in the hoses (though we all drank from them and seemed to turn out OK).
No matter, today's kids are growing up in a different world filled with Minecraft, text messages and helicopter parents. There are many things from our bygone childhoods—good and bad—that they will never experience.

Every player hits a bump in the road during the marathon they call a baseball season. The difference with pitchers is that they don't get to come out the next day and make the adjustments like a batter would. Instead, they get about 30 starts to exert their will onto an opponent and have to make the most of each one. Normally, as a fan, I try to stay on an even keel with the players and not get to high or to low on them, but Lester is making that a challenging feat. He hasn't won a start since May 15th against Tampa Bay. His ERA for the month of June is a whopping 8.62. In his last 35 innings pitched, Lester has given up 47 hits and walked 18 batters. He's closer to the bottom of the American League in the WHIP category with a 1.32. The list goes on and on for whatever stats you want to compile for Lester since his hot start to begin the year. Everything we saw in his first 7 or 8 starts when he was 6-0 was credited to the return of John Farrell. Now that he hasn't won a game in what feels like years, who gets the credit for that. Lester's pitched poorly, the fans know it, Farrell knows it, and you best believe that Lester himself knows it. I've tried to come up with a concrete reason for the struggles, but I can't. I looked at his pitch count, and while he has thrown over 100 pitches in all but two starts this year, fatigue shouldn't be a factor this early on in the year. ESPN Stats and Information had an interesting note on their website that highlighted Lester's struggles with hitters in 3-ball counts over the last couple weeks. Here is what they said, "Over the last two weeks, opponents have improved their discipline against Jon Lester, only chasing 18 percent of the time compared to 29 percent before May 30th; this has been magnified in 3-ball counts, where opponents have only a 13 percent chase rate (vs. 46 percent previously)." This can be used to explain the walks Lester has issued over his last several starts. But you look at stats until your blue in the face and there just isn't one thing that's the problem here. There's no need to search for something that's not there. Lester is experiencing a culmination of difficulties that he needs to fight and work through, and that's it. Don't let people tell you otherwise. He is not washed up, he is not injured, he is just struggling, it happens. If Buchholz needs to go on the DL, Lester needs to dig deep and shake this off because that could end up being a crucial stretch for Boston. Everyone should be alarmed by Lester's regression since April, but not panicked. As the baseball gods would have it, his next start will come against the Detroit Tigers, one of the best hitting teams in the AL. So let's all take a deep breath, and say "Lester will be fine."

Behind a Veil
Jess Klein
Motherlode Records © 2012
Available from Jess Klein's online store.
A review written for the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
Jess Klein is one of the most interesting singer/songwriters I know. She has had two distinct periods of musical activity. The first began on the heels of the Lilith Fair tour, which launched the careers of many solo women musical artists and women-led bands. The second emerged following a period of difficult life-changing experiences including the death of a parent, the breakup of a major relationship, and the shift from a major recording label to an independent one. Klein's newest recording, Behind a Veil, comes out of the latter phase of her career.
The great news is that Jess Klein is back with an album full of beautifully written tunes in that distinctive, captivating voice. She's relocated from Boston to Austin, and has taken full advantage of some of the musical talent that part of the country is known for. Produced at Austin's Aerie Studio by musician, producer and songwriter, Mark Addison, the recording places Klein's voice front and center, where it belongs.
The CD opens with the stirring anthem, Behind a Veil. The bass and percussion-driven production is confident and sure. Klein's voice is strong in her declaration that she is a survivor in a "world fallen apart…where the devil and his dogs, or the angels wait for you." I think Klein has a little of both on her side.
Tell Me This is Love is a rocker about holding onto love while it is slipping away. Billy Masters and Mark Addison are superb on guitar. This one is both radio and iPod friendly.
Simple Love sums up some of the best things about this recording. It's got that unmistakable voice drawing you in, and it's got a story to tell that is both straight forward and deep at the same time. The lyrics are so good you wish you could have written them yourself:
All the hours I spent so lost
It's not easy to sum up a romance in a few words, but Klein does it here. This is one of the freshest ballads I have heard in a long time.
Mona has a beautiful melody and some stunning backing vocals by Wendy Colonna and Noelle Hampton. It talks about how love can be painful and how it can change your life. And…it talks about the kind of love that can haunt you and cause you to question everything about it except the power it holds over you.
If Jess Klein continues to write and produce material as strong as every song on Behind a Veil, she's got a long and prosperous career ahead of her. Listening to Klein sing is one of the singular pleasures in life. She has that unique ability that few singers have—to make you feel as if she is singing directly to you with an intimacy and familiarity of someone close. There is a pureness and authenticity to her voice that reaches in and grabs you from the very first note, and does not let go. Jess Klein is back with a group of songs worth hearing, worth knowing, worth playing again and again. With Behind a Veil, the veil is lifted and an artist emerges.

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
When you set it going do you hear the motor kick in or do you hear a humming noise?
Also if you open the door and turn the drum by hand does it turn very easily or is there resistance when you turn it?
Hi there,
When you set it going, you hear the motor kick in and it just sounds normal really.
Turning the drum by hand is easy - not met with resistance.
Thanks for helping,
Ok its more then likely the belt has snapped.
What you need to do is remove the top and there you will see the drum. Check to see if the belts still there. If so lift it up and see if its snapped.
If so then the belt needs to be replaced. To do this you need to remove the front panel of the dryer and feed the belt onto the drum and motor from there.
Check it out if you can and see what you find. But from what you say i think its going to be a snapped belt here.
I think you have been dealing with my wife Anna up till now. I took the top off and could only see the drum which was enclosed and attached to the back panel, I then took one panel off the back and tried to take another one off, but even having taken all screws out, it felt as if it was welded to the back panel. I obviously didn't force it off as didn't want to make things worse.
Sorry for the delay.
What you need to do on these is remove both side panels. You will see the screws on the back holding the side on.
You will see the motor on the right hand side. So lossen the screws on the side support bars on the side then you can pull the back away a bit then there will be enough room to feed the new belt down the front of the drum.
Then refit the left hand side panel.
Now you need to remove the fan cover on the left of the motor.
Then remove the fan by undoing the spring clip inside the fan.
Then you can slide the belt onto the motor and then around the pully.
Then refit the fan and cover.
Sorry about the info about taking the front. That was for a vented dryer not a condenser dryer.
If you need anymore info just get back to me.

I hope CBS' Mike & Molly has some talented makeup people. The new sitcom has just cast 48-year-old character actress Cleo King (Deadwood, Sons of Anarchy) as the grandmother of series regular Reno Wilson, who plays Mike's cop partner, Officer Carl McMillan. Reno is 40 years old himself — thus my great confusion.
And this isn't a one-off guest role. Cleo, who I'm told is hilarious in her wig, will play Grandma in seven out of the first 13 episodes. Viewers will learn that Carl lives with his spry nana (who has the Fountain of Youth stashed in her basement?). I'll let you know if one of the Cosby kids signs on to play Carl's mom. Tempestt Bledsoe, make sure your cell phone's charged!

BY THE NUMBERS: Citigroup, the third-biggest U.S. bank by assets, reported gains in earnings and revenue on Monday, beating analysts' expectations.
WHERE IT CAME FROM: Citi was able to free up some of the money it had set aside for bad loans. Its own borrowing costs were lowered as it retired debt. Its loss was smaller at Citi Holdings, the unit where it has quarantined problem assets.
AN ASSIST FROM THE INVESTMENT BANK: Investment banking revenue jumped 31 percent, even as revenue from consumer banking held steady. The bank advised more companies on mergers and acquisitions and underwrote more stock and bond offerings.

etour | My OHIO Portal
Sept. 17, 2004
By Cassie Lynott
With school back in session, Ohio University's Health Education and Wellness Department is back in action, teaming up with its student branch Promoting Ohio Wellness, Education and Responsibility (POWER), to sponsor Sexual Assault Awareness Week, Monday, Sept. 20, through Friday, Sept. 24.
Sexual Assault Awareness Week activities:
"Sexual assault is an issue for all," says Sue Ellen Hughes, assistant director of Health Education and Wellness. "Both men and women can be sexually assaulted, and both men and women need to take a stand against it."
Throughout the week, the Health Education and Wellness Department has arranged activities to expand sexual assault awareness within the campus community. Events for the week include the First United Against Sexual Assault Awareness March, sexual assault speakers Kelly Walker and Rebecca Tieder ("Let's Talk About 'IT'"), a consensual sex program put on by POWER and healing sessions.
In Ohio, sexual assault umbrellas a wide range of offenses such as unwelcome advances, requests for sexual favors, unwanted touching, taking advantage of an individual under the influence of alcohol and rape.
"Sexual assault is more than just rape," says Alyssa Jakmas, a senior health administration major and a POWER member.
Historically, studies have revealed only about 10 percent of the population report a sexual assault and a recent study has shown victims are more willing to report sexual assault, Hughes says.
"We only know what people are reporting," Hughes says. "By increasing awareness and by finding out what people's attitudes and perceptions are about sexual assault we can help address the problem."
Char Kopchick, director of Health Education and Wellness, attributes much of campus sexual assault to the "large numbers of young adults who are dealing with new life experiences like choosing to drink and engaging in sexual activity."
"If students choose to be sexually active, then there must be consent between them," Kopchick says.

Mr Varley said he was "quietly confident" that Barclays would be able to push through its own fundraising without government support, claiming the bank already had an agreement "in principle" with an existing shareholder to contribute £1bn.
Barclays will issue £3bn of preference shares by the end of the year and £3.5bn in ordinary stock by April 2009. A further £3.5bn of capital will come through the cancellation of its final dividend, balance sheet management and operational cost savings.
"We want to protect the right of self-determination," Mr Varley said, warning that rival banks taking advantage of government capital injections would be "constrained in their strategic and operational flexibility."
Mr Varley suggested Barclays could also profit as bankers quit rivals in the face of government supervision. "There will be some people who don't want to work for an organisation that is controlled by the government," he said.
"The key thing is to be in a position to protect our choice. The freedom of choice and the freedom to manoeuvre," he added.
Claiming to be "well capitalised, profitable and with access to liquidity", Barclays said it was raising new capital to meet the requirements of the Financial Services Authority.
The bank said the fundraising would leave it with a tier one capital ratio of over 11pc as part of a commitment by leading UK lenders to raise over £25bn in tier one funds by year-end.
"We went into the weekend in quite good shape," Mr Varley said. "The authorities wanted to put the UK banks in a situation where the [capital] ratios can survive a very significant downdraft."
Mr Varley welcomed government moves to restore confidence in the banking sector. "I am certain that it is necessary, whether it is sufficient is still to be determined," he said. "It is too early to say whether it has turned the tide."
Barclays Capital chief executive Bob Diamond said the effects had already been felt in some areas. "The whole of the money markets breathed a collective sigh of relief this morning. The actions of last week brought some calm to the markets."
The terms and timing of Barclays' rights issues will be determined following meetings with shareholders over the coming weeks.
Mr Varley claimed the bank's ability to raise capital had been "battle-tested" after it pushed through a £4.5bn rights issue in July.
Barclays said trading conditions had improved in September, with pre-tax profits "very significantly" exceeding trends in the first half of the year following strong inflows of customer deposits.
Barclays' share price rose 14 to 221½p.

How to Get Picked Up by Optimus Prime for Your Next Uber Ride
Hey, you! Yes, you! Are you one of those folks who's all into the Uber thing lately? Like, instead of calling a cab, you whip out your Uber app and some local dude swings by to pick you up in his Honda Civic 10 minutes later? Well what if we could upgrade that Honda Civic to something a little more awesome... like a Transformer?
As part of a pretty sweet promotion for Transformers: Age of Extinction, Paramount teamed up with Uber to give fans the chance to travel inside Optimus Prime. It's only available in a couple of cities on select days and the ride lasts 15 minutes, but we bet those 15 minutes will be completely badass and full of check-me-out selfies.
One of our Paramount buddies recently uploaded this video to Instagram, apparently showing off what the Optimus Prime ride looks like in action.
Here's some info:
June 19, Phoenix: 1-7pm
June 21, Los Angeles: 1-7pm
When Optimus Prime is in your city, follow these steps to request a pickup:
If you're lucky enough to make contact with Optimus, he'll roll out to your location for a 15-minute experience.
Keep in mind: There's only one Optimus Prime, so making contact will be difficult and may take many tries. But don't give up!
If you wind up going for a ride, let us know (and send pics!).

Tertiary student retention
What We Have Found
83% of all the full-time domestic students who started study in 2011 were still studying at the same qualification level or higher in 2012, or had completed a qualification.
Date Updated: December 2013
Indicator Description
The proportion of full-time tertiary education students who started study in a particular year, who were still studying in the following year(s) at the same qualification level or higher, or who had completed a qualification.
Why This Is Important
The retention rate is an indicator of the quality of the tertiary education system and the extent to which it is meeting students' needs.
There are many factors outside of the tertiary education system that also impact on whether a student continues in study until they complete a qualification. Low levels of unemployment increase the opportunity cost of tertiary education study in terms of earnings foregone. The availability of financial support while studying also influences decisions of whether or not to continue studying.
There are also many social factors that impinge on people's decisions to continue their studies such as family commitments.
It is important to observe changes in the rate at which students are retained in study so that interventions can be put in place when the rates become lower than what would be expected under certain economic and social conditions. By tracking the retention rates for particular groups of students e.g. students in different ethnic groups or qualification levels, or provider types, steps to improve the rate of retention can be taken when considered necessary. The targeting of groups at greater risk of stopping study can help increase their retention in tertiary education. This ensures the benefits associated with completing a tertiary qualification are available to a greater proportion of those who start study.
How We Are Going
The retention rates of full-time domestic students – one year after starting study – show that the proportion of students retained is higher at the highest qualification levels. Of the students starting study in 2011, those undertaking doctorates had a first-year retention rate of 98%, while students in level 4 certificates and level 5-7 diplomas had the lowest first-year retention rate with 78%.
At all qualification levels the first-year retention rate has improved since 2000, with the highest increase being in students beginning level 4 certificates. 60% of full-time students that started a level 4 certificate in 2000 were still studying in 2001, or had completed a qualification. For students who started in 2011 the proportion retained was significantly higher at 78%; an increase of 30%. The next highest increase over the period was for students studying towards level 1-3 certificates at 24%; up from 64% to 80%. The smallest increase was at Bachelors level where the increase in first year retention rates from 2000 to 2011 was 3%; from 86% to 89%.
Of the full-time domestic students who started study in 2011, Asian students had the highest first year retention rate: 89%of were still enrolled in 2012, or had completed a qualification. This compares to 84% of European students, and 74% and 79% for Māori and Pasifika respectively. The biggest spread in first-year retention rates between ethnic groups was within level 5-7 diplomas. Only 68% of Māori students were still studying level 5-7 diplomas in 2012, or had completed their qualification, compared with 82% of Asian students. The European first-year retention rate for the same qualification was 81% and the Pasifika rate was 72%.
Figure 1: First-year retention rates of full-time domestic students, by starting year and qualification level
Figure 2: First-year retention rates of full-time domestic students who started study in 2011, by ethnic group and qualification level
Of all the students who started study in 2011, 84% of women and 80% of men were still studying in 2012, or had completed a qualification. The greatest disparity in first year retention rates between genders can be seen in lower level qualifications: 82% of female students beginning level 1-3 Certificates and 80% beginning level 4 Certificates were still studying in 2012, or had completed their qualification, compared to 77% and 74% for males. This gender difference was reversed only for those starting Masters level study in 2011 where males had higher first year retention rates than women: 91% compared to 88%.
Over the years from 2000 to 2011, the increase in the first-year retention rate at polytechnics and wānanga was greater than for universities. Of the polytechnic students who started study in 2000, 65% were still studying in 2001, or had completed a qualification, compared with 77% of the students who started study in 2011. The corresponding first year retention rates for wānanga were 65% and 76%.and for universities were 83% and 86%. The increase in the first-year retention rate was largest for private training establishments, up from 67% of the 2000 starters to 86% of the 2011 starters.

Gregor Townsend has a headache, but not one that will attract much sympathy from his rival coaches in the RaboDirect PRO12.
The Glasgow Warriors head coach has three international scrum-halves on his books, and each week he has to sit down and decide which of his stellar trio should start the next game.
Two weeks ago, it was Henry Pyrgos who was given the nod for the side's Heineken Cup clash with Toulon in France. Last Sunday, Niko Matawalu wore the No 9 shirt against Exeter Chiefs.
And now, as the Warriors resume their PRO12 campaign against Munster at Scotstoun, it has been handed to Chris Cusiter instead.
With sewn-in armband as well, as Cusiter also takes over as captain from Al Kellock, who is rested in line with Scotland international protocols.
Cusiter, now 31, is edging towards the veteran category, but Townsend appreciates that the competitive juices of his former half-back partner at the Border Reivers are still flowing healthily enough.
"Experience, competitiveness, skill," was Townsend's snap summary of the qualities Cusiter, who missed almost all of last season with a serious shoulder injury, brings to the side.
"We have great competition in a number of positions, one of them being scrum-half," Townsend continued. "In the last three games we've had three different nines, and it's great for me as a coach that we have that quality.
"It's part of coaching. They all want to play, as I would if I was a player. They all understand that competition is here and they are up against very good players. My aim - and hopefully theirs - is to make sure that brings out the best from them.
"It should be positive that players know they need to play well. They all have different strengths, but they are all good players with very good basic skills. It has to be a positive for the team."
While Glasgow have risen to the top of the PRO12 table, unbeaten over five games, without settling on a clear first-choice scrum-half, Townsend also appreciates the value of consistent selection in other areas.
Hence his vote of confidence in Rob Harley, Tyrone Holmes and Josh Strauss as his starting back row, all three having performed superbly against Exeter last Sunday.
In the midfield, Sean Lamont, who had been outstanding in his early-season outings before sidelined by a calf injury, returns at inside centre. Townsend has also brought Duncan Weir back at fly-half, but the back three of Sean Maitland, Tommy Seymour and DTH Van der Merwe is the same as played last weekend.
Edinburgh, who will lever themselves off the bottom of the PRO12 table if they can see their way past Treviso at Murrayfield, should benefit from the return of Scotland duo Dave Denton and Matt Scott, both having missed the side's Heineken Cup loss to Perpignan last weekend.
Even in their absence, Edinburgh coach Alan Solomons suggested that the team's first-half performance in that match was the best he had seen since his arrival two months ago.
"I'm pleased with the progress that has been made," said Solomons. If we deliver a good performance we will get the result."

Harris, R. K. (2004) 'NMR crystallography : the use of chemical shifts.', Solid state sciences., 6 (10). pp. 1025-1037.
Measurements of chemical shifts obtained from magic-angle spinning NMR spectra (together with quantum mechanical computations of shielding) can provide valuable information on crystallography. Examples are given of the determination of crystallographic asymmetric units, of molecular symmetry in the solid-state environment, and of crystallographic space group assignment. Measurements of full tensor components for (199)Ha have given additional coordination information. The nature of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in cortisone acetate polymorphs and solvates is obtained from chemical shift information, also involving measurement of the full tensor parameters. The resulting data have been used as restraints, built into the computation algorithm, in the analysis of powder diffraction patterns to give full crystal structures. A combination of quantum mechanical computation of shielding and measurement of proton chemical shifts (obtained by high-speed MAS) leads to the determination of the position of a proton in an intermolecular hydrogen bond. A recently-developed computer program specifically based on crystallographic repetition has been shown to give acceptable results. Moreover, NMR chemical shifts can distinguish between static and dynamic disorder in crystalline materials and can be used to determine modes and rates of molecular exchange motion.
