Evie Shockley
Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1965, Evie Shockley received her BA from Northwestern University. After studying Law at the University of Michigan, she earned her PhD in English from Duke University.
Shockley's first book, The Gorgon Goddess, was published by Carolina Wren Press in 2001. She is also the author of semiautomatic (Wesleyan University Press, 2017), a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; the new black (Wesleyan University Press, 2011), which received the 2012 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award in Poetry; 31 words * prose poems (Belladonna* Books, 2007); and a half-red sea (Carolina Wren Press, 2006).
Embracing both free verse and formal structures, Shockley straddles the divide between traditional and experimental poetics. A review of her work in Library Journal noted that, "Shockley's work incorporates elements of myth without being patently 'mythical' and is personal without being self-indulgent, sentimental without being saccharine." Her reported influences include Gwendolyn Brooks, Lucille Clifton, and Harryette Mullen.
A Cave Canem graduate fellow, Shockley received the 2012 Holmes National Poetry Prize. She was awarded a residency at the Hedgebrook Retreat for Women Writers in 2003. Two of her poems were displayed in the Biko 30/30 exhibit, a commemoration of the life and work of anti-apartheid activist Steven Biko, which toured South Africa in 2007.
Shockley was coeditor of the poetry journal jubilat from 2004 to 2007 and teaches African American Literature and Creative Writing at Rutgers University-New Brunswick in New Jersey.

The New New Year's Eve: Five Sparkling Alternatives to Champagne
In a typical year, Americans partake of some 19 million bottles of Champagne. But the world of bubbly goes well beyond the fancy sipper from France – just about every country in the wine-consuming world makes a signature sparker (and in some cases, more than one). Think cava from Spain or prosecco from Italy. Or just good old sparking wine from California (sometimes called "California Champagne," but that's another story).
With that in mind, we surveyed the sparkling scene for Champagne alternatives – just in time for New Year's Eve partying. Here are some noteworthy bottles we found.

While we think Microsoft's Surface is a solid first attempt, there are some minor issues with the OS and hardware that still need to be worked on. One of those is performance as animations and app load times aren't always the smoothest nor fastest. Still, being a version 1.0 product we know Microsoft will be tweaking things along the way.
Such is the case with today's update that has gone out to the Surface RT. The update, part of "patch Tuesday" contains eight parts including a firmware update related to security. Over at the Verge they claim that the update also improves performance of apps starting up: "On average, apps launched around two seconds faster than before, a noticeable improvement."
That is certainly good news as we think the Surface, while a little rough in some areas, can be greatly improved over the next few months with frequent updates. Our own update took about 20 minutes (device kept going into Standby) and it does require a soft reset. So far, performance looks good though it's hard for us to definitively say things are faster.
Have you updated your Surface today? If so , have you noticed any speed improvements?

Print + Open access publishing proposes a relatively new model for scholarly journal publishing that provides immediate, worldwide, barrier-free access to the full-text of all published articles. Print + Open access allows all interested readers to view, download, print, and redistribute any article without a subscription, enabling far greater distribution of an author's work than the traditional subscription-based publishing model. Many authors in a variety of fields have begun to realize the benefits that open access publishing can provide in terms of increasing the impact of their work.
In an Print + open access model, the publication costs of an article are paid from an author's in the form of Article Processing Charges. These Article Processing Charges replace subscription charges and allow publishers to make the full-text of every published article freely available to all interested readers.
IJHRLÂ is an Print + Open Access journal. Publishing an article in Indian Human Rights and the Law requires Article Processing Charges that will be billed to the submitting author upon acceptance of the article for publication in accordance with the following table.

The law will require states to basically accept everyone under the Medicaid program. On the surface, I think we can all agree that sounds great – everyone is covered and no one is without insurance.

Quirky blank Qwerty keyboard goes on sale
Touch typing just got easier. Apparently.
Many distractions can occur when you're sat at the computer and trying to concentrate. But if the keyboard's white letters are one of them, then a solution's now at your fingertips.
Das Keyboard Ultimate: Direct Attached Stupidity?
The Das Keyboard Ultimate features a standard keyboard layout - except none of the keys have letters printed onto them. So each key looks... well... just like the one next to it, except for some that are differently shaped.
But the manufacturer claims that there's actually some method to the madness. For example, it's claimed that touch typists will be able to memorise the keyboard's layout "within a few weeks" and then touch type like a pro, without requiring any sneaky downward glances.
The Ultimate may not have any inscriptions, but it does boast gold-plated key switches to "provide a tactile and audio click that makes typing pure joy". Yeeesss. Although claiming that text-entry could ever be pure joy is something that most data-entry clerks would probably disagree with.
Das Keyboard Ultimate has a 2m USB cable and two integrated USB ports. It's also Windows, Mac OS X and Linux compatible.
The Qwerty, yet quirky, keyboard is available now online for $130 (£65/€95).

"Waiting On" Wednesday: Friendship
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
By Emily Gould
Publication Date: July 1
From Amazon:
Bev Tunney and Amy Schein have been best friends for years; now, at thirty, they're at a crossroads. Bev is a Midwestern striver still mourning a years-old romantic catastrophe. Amy is an East Coast princess whose luck and charm have too long allowed her to cruise through life. Bev is stuck in circumstances that would have barely passed for bohemian in her mid-twenties: temping, living with roommates, drowning in student-loan debt. Amy is still riding the tailwinds of her early success, but her habit of burning bridges is finally catching up to her. And now Bev is pregnant. As Bev and Amy are dragged, kicking and screaming, into real adulthood, they have to face the possibility that growing up might mean growing apart.
What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

Goat Glade
From DDwiki
|This article is in need of content, please consider adding to it.
The Goat Glade is a special building obtained by being a supporter of Desktop Dungeons, or if you regret not doing so, by purchasing the Goatperson DLC on Steam. It unlocks a new feature and some content for people that feel DD is insufficiently merciless:
- Goatperson monster class
- Triple Quests, which line the player against three random dungeons in a row
- The Item Lottery: Pay 500 gold to gain a random item that may be instantly lockered. The cost increases with each re-roll, until you win a dungeon.

AAA TV (SUN) 12/02/2012 Auditorio Benito Juarez, Zapopan, Jalisco [AAA (R de Rudo), AAA Photos (Deportivo), Black Terry Jr. (flickr), Estrellas del Ring, Informador, MT (1-5), MT (6), SL491]
***Guerra de Titanes, 2012***
1) Cuervo, Fabi Apache, Mascarita Dorada, Pimpinela Escarlata b Halloween, Mari Apache, Mini Charly Manson, Yuriko
Tecnicos won because of Gran Apache interference – he tried to hit Cuervo with a chair and got Halloween instead. Halloween and Apache hugged after the match.
2) Daga b Juventud Guerrera, Fénix, Joe Lider, Psicosis, Jack Evans [AAA CRUISER, Ladder]
16'17". Juventud Guerrera is the champ. No Teddy, no TNA wrestler, and Juvi left early after taking a blow from a Lider ladder. Daga beat Fenix for the title. Fenix appeared to be hurt after the match.
3) La Parka, Octagón, Octagon Jr. b Parka Negra, Pentagon Jr., Silver King
18'53", Parka Negra and Pentagon Jr. were Silver King's surprise partners, introduced by Dorian and Konnan. Octagon pinned Silver King get the pinfall.
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Devil Rocker, Machine Rocker, Soul Rocker
13:13. Rockers took their first loss. Uro attacked Murder again after the match and the Clowns were beaten up despite the loss.
5) Texano Jr. b El Mesías [AAA HEAVY]
29:12. Mesias is champion. Fenix was scheduled to be his second, but Octagon Jr. replaced him. Silver King was Texano's second. Both bled and there was at least one ref bump and one time Silver pulled the ref out to stop the count, but Texano Jr. won the match and the title with a sit down powerbomb cleanly.
6) Vampiro L Cibernético, Dr. Wagner Jr., LA Park, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Chessman [cage, hair]
30:29. Order of escape went LA Park (attacked by Jeff & Karen Jarrett, who also took his mask), Dr. Wagner, Cibernetico (attacked by the Bizarros – Cuervo tried to save and failed, Fabi helped later), and Perro Aguayo Jr. Chessman and Vampiro went for a long while before Chessman escaped due to help from Konnan, Dorian and a fire extinguisher. Konnan, with the winning rudos, announced they would repeat 1996 and leave with the best guys to a new promotion. Joaquin Roldan told Konnan his contract expires next year (???) and he'd be free to go then. Joaquin had the AAA guys run off La Sociedad to prove they weren't all that much.
Air Date: 12/15 & 12/22
AAA has done Invasion/opposing promotions storylines since it's first year, when the opposing promotion was UWA. It's been near constant since, from PROLLM to Promo Azteca to LLL to whatever Konnan's calling his group this week. Some of them have actually run their own shows. (Some of them still are – I'm not sure what 'we should leave AAA and run our own promotion' actually means to the Perros del Mal.) It's unclear from the official recap – the only one that mentions Konnan's contract running out – if the deal ends at midnight on 12/31, or just 'sometime in the new year'.
It's not yet clear where this is going. It does occur to me that the debut of a new off shoot promotion starring Konnan is as about as good a place for Konnan to return to the ring as any time.https://twitter.com/vampiro_vampiro/status/275468005381644288
Vamprio got some hair cut in the cage, some more cut backstage, and ended up with a bit left. I'm thinking that if Vampiro had just gotten his head shaved, it'd take him maybe a couple weeks to get that spiffy new hair do back. (It works for him.) Instead, he and AAA are didn't deliver on their main event just because they could. Not the first time this has happened – Fabi Apache was the last memorable one – but AAA is caught between wanting to put it's stars in big apuesta matches to draw fans and their wrestlers not actually wanting to pay the price for that loss.
(Also, if he has a brain tumor like he said this morning, he probably should not be worried about keeping any of his hair.)
(Also, for all our complaining, it does look like Chessman won the feud. A gift win by the sound of it, but you take what you can get when you are the Chessman. Nice of Jarrett and Chessman to get past Chessman's problems with Abyss and be friends by the end of the show too.)
There's a compelling case that putting a whole bunch of people in a cage match – a bit we all (AAA included) have mocked CMLL before – is not actually a good way to draw people. SuperLuchas calculated 7,000 people in attendance early in night. It does not come across that full in the photos. This website lists the capacity of the building as 13,000. It includes seats on the floor, though that's for a concert performance and not something with a big ring in the middle. I would've guessed 4,000 people, but I've never done the work to see how close my guesses are to reality. The last major show here, Guerra de Titans 2010, was reported as 6,000 people in the WON. That show ran against Rayo de Jalisco and Universo 20000 returning to Arena Coliseo Guadalajara.
Juvi's injury was to his shoulder, the same shoulder which had kept him out of the ring until now. Fenix's injury is unclear, but looks like maybe shoulder and neck based on the pictures. (How No other injuries were mentioned. Texano and Mesias bled a lot in their match.
Rockers/Clowns was said to be least match of the night, while Texano/Mesias was said to be the best. Compliments to the ladder match as well. Vampiro and Chessman went 16 minutes by themselves to end the cage match, more than half the length of the match, which sounds way too much for both of them. Some of that is Chessman climbing and missing a moonsault (because he's Chessman and he must fall off high objects.)
Dorian Roldan went out of his way to note Super Fly is NOT Pentagon Jr. – which makes sense, Super Fly let everyone down and got kicked out of La Sociedad, why would Dorian want him back? I posted a link to Facebook of Mortiz being mentioned as Parka Negra. I'm not sure that's actually true, but it gives us something to look for when the show airs.
AAA has just 1 main TV in about the next six weeks, a 12/21 show in Acapulco. The period after Guerra de Titanes thru February is normally AAA's slowest period of the year as far as shows and development, and they usually won't start building Rey de Reyes until they're a month out. There should still be Fusion tapings during this stretch – the next one might be announced this week.

Lorne Michaels, the creator of "Saturday Light Live," which has come under fire in recent weeks for its historic lack of female black cast members, is addressing the issue.
Michaels said he is focused on finding an African American female cast member for the NBC series, but he did not specify how soon it would happen.
"It's not like it's not a priority for us," Michaels said in an interview with the Associated Press on Thursday. "It will happen. I'm sure it will happen."
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
The furor, which erupted when cast member Jay Pharoah complained last month that the show was too white, has intensified in the last few weeks since the announcement that "Scandal" star Kerry Washington, who is black, will host Saturday's installment.
Although the timing of Washington's appearance might be tied to the controversy, the show has been talking to her since last spring about a hosting gig.

Last week, President Barack Obama embarked on a six-day trip to Europe, where he visited Ireland, the United Kingdom, France and Poland to engage our allies in the region and participate in the G-8 Summit. In remarks to the British Parliament, President Obama said:
"Together, we have met great challenges. But as we enter this new chapter in our shared history, profound challenges stretch before us. In a world where the prosperity of all nations is now inextricably linked, a new era of cooperation is required to ensure the growth and stability of the global economy. As new threats spread across borders and oceans, we must dismantle terrorist networks and stop the spread of nuclear weapons, confront climate change and combat famine and disease. And as a revolution races through the streets of the Middle East and North Africa, the entire world has a stake in the aspirations of a generation that longs to determine its own destiny.
"These challenges come at a time when the international order has already been reshaped for a new century. Countries like China, India, and Brazil are growing by leaps and bounds. We should welcome this development, for it has lifted hundreds of millions from poverty around the globe, and created new markets and opportunities for our own nations.
"And yet, as this rapid change has taken place, it's become fashionable in some quarters to question whether the rise of these nations will accompany the decline of American and European influence around the world. Perhaps, the argument goes, these nations represent the future, and the time for our leadership has passed.
"That argument is wrong. The time for our leadership is now. It was the United States and the United Kingdom and our democratic allies that shaped a world in which new nations could emerge and individuals could thrive. And even as more nations take on the responsibilities of global leadership, our alliance will remain indispensable to the goal of a century that is more peaceful, more prosperous and more just."Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was also in Europe, where she joined President Obama in London and met with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. She then traveled to France, where she supported the launch of the UNESCO Global Partnership for Girls' and Women's Education and chaired the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) 50th Anniversary Forum. During the OECD gathering, Secretary Clinton delivered remarks with OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria and addressed the OECD Session on Development and Gender. Ambassador Karen Kornbluh, U.S. Permanent Representative to the OECD, underscored the U.S. commitment to work with the OECD on gender issues, with a focus on increasing opportunities for women in the Middle East and North Africa.
Last week, Secretary Clinton also traveled to Pakistan, where she and Admiral Mike Mullen met with senior Pakistani government officials in Islamabad. Following their discussions, Secretary Clinton said:
"We are prepared to stand by the Pakistani people for the long haul. The United States knows that Pakistan's future is imperatively important for us, but even more so for the people themselves, and we look toward a strong Pakistan, one that is democratic, one that is prosperous and stable, being a cornerstone for regional stability and global security. That is why the United States will continue to support Pakistan's sovereignty, its civilian-elected government, and above all, its people."
As part of America's commitment to the Pakistani people, the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan administers the largest educational and cultural program of any U.S. Embassy in the world. More than 8,000 Pakistanis have participated in fully-funded academic or professional development programs in the United States. Inspired by their experiences in the United States, Pakistani exchange program alumni are helping to make their communities better places to live and are strengthening ties between the people of the United States and Pakistan. Last week, for example, 40 university students attended a public speaking workshop hosted by U.S. Embassy Islamabad, and 60 Pakistani students prepared to depart for a year of study at U.S. community colleges. Furthermore, Ambassador Melanne Verveer highlighted a new mentorship program that brings together Pakistani women entrepreneurs and U.S. business leaders.
Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Ann Stock shared how international exchange programs can empower women and girls around the world. Educational and cultural programs are building relationships between the people of Bolivia and the United States, supporting civil society in Indonesia, advancing science education in Trinidad and Tobago, and helping safeguard cultural treasures in Nepal.
In news from Washington, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg discussed the latest Iran sanctions, while Ambassador Suzan Johnson Cook addressed advancing international religious freedom. The Department of State hosted a film screening of Welcome to Shelbyville to highlight refugee issues, and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs convened a gathering to address global agricultural development and food security.
In consular and travel news, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Janice Jacobs urged U.S. citizens to depart Yemen, while Ambassador Susan Jacobs recognized National Mission Children's Day and reflected on how the U.S. government works to prevent international parental child abduction.
In other news, the United States condemned offensive operations undertaken by Sudanese forces in Abyei. U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Princeton Lyman held a press briefing on the situation on Abyei, and departed for the region to participate in ongoing peace talks about Darfur. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Rajiv Shah underscored the U.S. commitment to respond to urgent and long-term needs in Sudan.
Elsewhere, USAID and the Gates Foundation are working to expand mobile banking in Haiti, the United States and India are partnering to advance clean energy, and Pacific Partnership continued on its humanitarian mission to Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.
Today marks the International Day of UN Peacekeeping. Ambassador Susan Rice said, "The United States salutes the brave men and women who prevent conflict, save lives, and provide hope to countless vulnerable people while serving under the flag of the United Nations."
The United States commemorates Memorial Day tomorrow, Monday, May 30. On Memorial Day, we honor the generations of Americans who have fought and died to defend our freedom. We also recognize the military personnel who are currently serving in Afghanistan, the South Pacific, and other parts of the world. As President Obama said:
"Today, all who wear the uniform of the United States carry with them the proud legacies of those who have made our Nation great, from the patriots who fought at Lexington and Concord to the troops who stormed the beaches at Normandy. Ordinary men and women of extraordinary courage have, since our earliest days, answered the call of duty with valor and unwavering devotion. From Gettysburg to Kandahar, America's sons and daughters have served with honor and distinction, securing our liberties and laying a foundation for lasting peace.
"On this solemn day in which Americans unite in remembrance of our country's fallen, we also pray for our military personnel and their families, our veterans, and all who have lost loved ones. As a grateful Nation, we forever carry the selfless sacrifice of our fallen heroes in our hearts, and we share the task of caring for those they left behind."
In recognition of Memorial Day, President Obama designated the hour beginning in each locality at 11:00 a.m. as a time to unite in prayer, and asked all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance beginning at 3:00 p.m. local time.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Some Israelis today marked the less-recognized "second Passover" prescribed in the Bible for those who could not mark the festival on its appointed day due to ceremonial uncleanliness.
Numbers 9:6-11 reads:
"But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron that same day and said to Moses, 'We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord's offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?' Moses answered them, 'Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.' Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Tell the Israelites: When any of you or your descendants are unlcean because of a dead body or are away on a journey, they may still celebrate the Lord's Passover. They are to celebrate it on the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight.'"
Many Jews on this day will again eat unleavened bread (matzot) and hold special prayer sessions at the Western Wall. Jewish activists advocating the return of Jewish worship on top of the Temple Mount also hosted a special "second Passover" feast.
At the feast, rabbis thanked God for the Temple (and its eventual return to the Jews), and for the recent thwarting of a terrorist attack against Jewish worshipers and Israeli police at the holy site.
Though Temple Mount activists and police typically clash, the officers stationed at the Temple Mount were warmly invited to attend this year's feast.

Mark Mobius is a superbull. In fact, he's confident that the global markets are facing a five-year bull environment, as massive liquidity injections from central banks will start to do the trick.
And then things will start to happen: Emerging markets will outperform. Nigeria will attract lots of attention. Even Zimbabwe is looking like an interesting investing opportunity.
"The U.S. outperformed emerging markets last year, [and] now emerging markets are coming back and outperforming," Mobius, executive chairman of Templeton Emerging Markets Group, said in an interview with MarketWatch on the sidelines of this year's FundForum International in Monaco. "Short term it can be either the U.S., Europe or emerging, but if it's long term then of course frontier and emerging markets will be much better bets."
Hosting a Sunday dinner at the exclusive Fairmont Hotel in Monte Carlo, the 77-year-old emerging-markets guru provided insight into his latest observations on the ever-changing environment for emerging markets. After more than 40 years in the game, he still gets excited about new developments in developing countries. But researching from a far is not a great option — many of the "next big thing" companies are unknown, so it takes lots of on-site digging to identity the most inspiring opportunities, he said.
That's also why he struggles to identify his home — partially based in Singapore and Hong Kong, Mobius spends most of his time traveling from conference to board meeting on a corporate jet. Not a private jet, mind you. Even this long-time investor was amazed by the number of private jets at the Nice airport, the closest major international hub to Monaco.
Over the past two weeks, he's been to eight countries, and his next stop is Russia — the most overlooked investment opportunity in emerging markets right now, he said.
"Usually you want to go to places that are unpopular if you want to find overlooked and interesting trends. And obviously Russia is one place where the currency has gone down, the stock market has gone down, and yet the economy is reasonably good.
Once this Ukraine situation is over, chances are you'll see a recovery in that market, because they definitely want to move towards a market economy."
And it doesn't really matter which sector in Russia. Banking stocks, mining firms, oil companies and even some retailers are looking interesting, he observes.
Mobius has spent more than 40 years focusing on emerging markets — an interest that goes back to his years at MIT, where he studied development economics. In the late 1980s he joined Franklin Templeton and set up the company's first emerging-markets funds in the same year that the MSCI developed its first EM indexes. Now, more than 25 years later, he hasn't lost faith in the traditional countries in this group, but he is increasingly keen on frontier markets — the new group of developing economies that have yet to take the economic and technological leap forward.
This subset of lesser-developed countries has the same characteristics as the "original" emerging markets 25 years ago, according to Mobius, and is poised for rapid economic growth and lots of potential over the next quarter of a century.
"Obviously Africa is the hot spot, because it is the biggest place in terms of numbers of countries — you\'ve got a billion people — and it's starting from a very low base. The economic growth rate is very high.\"
Nigeria is one of his favorites, and Templeton recently invested in the country's banks. With his newfound love for the west African country, Mobius joins his fellow emerging-markets expert Jim O'Neill, a.k.a. Mr. BRIC, who earlier this year told MarketWatch his latest bet was on mobile-payment company in Nigeria.
Other frontier markets grabbing Mobius's attention include the Ivory Coast, South Africa, Ghana and Zimbabwe. He also recently beefed up investments in Qatar, Kuwait and Duba.
As an investor, the easiest way to get exposure to this new group is through an investment fund, for example the Templeton Frontier Markets fund . The fund is up 3.6% in 2014, outperforming the wider Templeton Developing Markets Trust , which is up only 0.4%.
But how about the risks? Emerging markets dived earlier in the year in the face of concerns over Chinese growth and turmoil in Turkey but have now rallied back to the levels seen before that. Mobius is not concerned: You'll have the same volatility and corporate governance issues as in developed markets, he said.
"There will always be a correction, and these days, with that volatility we have in markets around the world, a 20% correction is nothing. When you get down to 30%, then you're talking about the beginning of a bear market. But we have to expect this volatility, and people should not be frightened. We believe over the next five years there'll be a bullish environment in markets around the world.\"
As for an area where emerging economies currently take out developed nations on a day-to-day basis, Mobius has a clear favorite. Brazil will win the World Cup. \"I support everybody, but particularly Brazil,\" he said.

Former New York Giants linebacker Barrett Green has sued the Washington Redskins, former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and tight end Robert Royal for a knee injury he sustained in a game late in the 2004 season.
Now the Redskins are asking the judge to dismiss the lawsuit.
According to Jessica Gresko of the Associated Press, the Redskins filed a response to Green's lawsuit on Friday. The team said Green's claims were "utterly baseless" and, even if they had legitimacy, he didn't pursue the correct avenues through the collective bargaining agreement and the statute of limitations has run its course.
The Redskins say the CBA in place required Green to exhaust all grievance and arbitration processes before filing a lawsuit. Green never pursued such avenues. The team also claims the statute of limitations for the matter is three years from the time of the injury and that has since expired.
Green's lawsuit alleges that "Redskins coaches directed their players to disregard criminal and civil laws, as well as NFL rules, to intentionally injure opponents." It also states a belief that Royal may have specifically targeted Green during the game.
Per the AP report, Judge Peter J. Messitte has scheduled a hearing for September 24 in the case. However, court files indicate Messitte could decided the case on documents alone prior to the hearing.

My wife got up to take communion at Tom Bergmann's funeral at Most Holy Trinity Church the other day, and I must admit I, unshriven as usual, was a bit surprised.
But she reminded me later that she thought of the rite differently, that it had to do for her with bounteous nature and our humble place in it rather than with any pastoral proscriptions or learned behavior.
The next morning, interestingly, I, who had been between books for a while, decided to pick up Helen Vendler's "Dickinson: Selected Poems and Commentaries," which my sister had given me for Christmas, to read, and there, on page 17, I met Mary's kindred soul:
In the name of the Bee —
And of the Butterfly —
And of the Breeze — Amen!
And now I'd like to turn over this column to Max Bergmann, Tom's young son, who had this to say to everyone there:
"My father was a builder. He built wonderful relationships with his family and friends and he built beautiful objects. One of my fondest memories is of building a bookcase with him after he had noticed all the books strewn around my room. We spent every day over the next couple of weeks in our garage working on this project. I'm sure this was much the way it was when he built his first house with help from his brothers. What I realized then about my father was how meticulous and patient he was, and that everything he created with his hands was a simple masterpiece."
"He also knew how to put things together in beautiful combinations. His antiques store was an extension of his awesome creative sense. His respect for building extended into every aspect of his life. He formed deep relationships with all of us. He was the most giving, loving, and thoughtful man I have ever known."
"You could always count on my father. He found in his solitude wisdom, enlightenment, and a height of nderstanding that not many could match. The joy that emanated from him knew no boundaries, and made everyone around him feel loved and happy. His sense of humor reflected his intelligence and enabled him to be a social man in any type of situation."
"My father's shoes are impossible to fill because he was such a unique and wonderful person. He cared for us all, and the world around him — more than for himself. Unfortunately, young and old alike will meet with death at one point. I can truly say that he lived a beautiful life."
"The last time I saw my father I had come to New York purely by chance after being mugged and badly beaten. When my dad saw my face he burst into tears. Our bond was so deep, our connection so strong that just seeing me in that state caused him to feel my pain wholeheartedly."
"His emotions were so pure and true, his love so boundless, just as our love is for him — boundless as the sea."

Then the other question is is reunification between EO and OO going to be in my lifetime (I am 17 years old)?
The infallibility of ALL Seven Ecumenical Councils is one of the bedrocks of our faith. Putting ourselves, as Eastern Orthodox, in the position of denying one of the fundamental tenants of our faith in order to speed the process of reunion is ecumenism of the worst kind.
The reasons for this are not only doctrinal, but also historical and psychological, as it's really hard to accept a council in the name of which your ancestors were persecuted, slaughtered, etc.
Dear PeterTheAleut,This is completely off-topic, so I apologize in advance, but I just have to ask: when you say " ... if one entire half of the church never accepted it as ecumenical" do you mean to imply that the EO churches and the OO churches were "two halves" of the Church, back in the fifth century? (That is to say, do you mean that the Latin Church didn't count as a part of the Church, as early as the fifth century?)God bless,Peter.
It's almost as if some would regard every cough and sneeze at a Council believed to be Ecumenical to be something absolutely God-inspired and hence not capable of being questioned.
Nope, it isn't. They mean that me and many others are unbaptized heretics, descended from apostates.
Wait. Are the Chalcedonians having a bit of a squabble amongst themselves in the OO folder? That's not right. You're supposed to be squabbling with the OO's. We're feeling very neglected right now. Just kidding. Actually, let's try to keep this on the topic of how to heal the devision between EO's and OO's. Thanks.
Hey, that's supposed to be us OO's whom the EO's are calling the "unbaptized heretics, descended from apostates." Again, let's keep this on how to heal the division caused by Chalcedon, not that other division caused by the filioque.
Well, much of the difficulty in the reunification is the trouble of how to accomplish it while saving face about the past. It's hard to repudiate past battles over which many of your Church's saints stood to the death (even if, in our eyes today, the battles were really cultural/political/linguistic misunderstandings).
Truly, I think we just want to be divided.
I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
I don't wanna take this off topic, so I started a new topic.
Truly, I think we just want to be divided. Both sides, as far as I can recon, believe the very same thing. We hold on to the same faith in the same God, and much the same practices. It is the human factor which gets in the way. No one is willing to sit at the table and say, "You know, we messed up here. Our pride got in the way. We want to be the only ones in charge and the only ones with the keys to the kingdom, so we figured you can't be. We goofed. But instead of making excuses, were gonna put our heads together, and pray that God make our minds and hearts one in the Holy Spirit, so that we can mend this long festering wound and begin to walk together again, like God intended. We have the world to contend with, and that's more than enough." And we can point fingers at eachother for ever and say that either of us are the arrogant ones. The truth really is that, at least in my view, we are too ready to wave documents and claim correctitude, much as the pharasee in the temple. We need look to the publican in this case, and until we do, there will be no healing. There will be no union. This is not an overly emotional person speaking here, but one who has seen these debates, read these threads, talked to my OO and EO bretheren, and see the same weariness about fighting over minutiae. If we want to come together, we will find a way with God's help. If we don't, we stay as we are: divided brothers, wanting to talk but refusing to take the first step. And yes, I know of the many dialogues that have take place between our two churches. And I know the above seems overly simplified. Maybe that's the point.Peace, Brothers.
Didymus I think to answer your question about why the Orthodox call themselves the "church of the 7 councils" is because 8 and 9 are not truly considered ecumenical because of the division between east and west.
May I please ask when the EOs started refering to themselves as the "Church of the Seven Councils"? Obviously the Apostles never did this nor did St. Athanasius nor St Cyril nor anyone else for many centuries of Christianity? Also, there are also an Eighth and a Ninth Ecumenical Council recognised by the Eastern Orthodox Church (though different from those of the RCs). Why then don't the EOs call themselves the "Church of the Nine Councils"?
both of can agree no matter how righteous and holy a saint is that does not mean what they say is doctrine... what we should admire is that these people died to protect the apostolic faith at all costs!
Well, duh! (I offer this exclamation totally in jest. ) The Apostles and the other saints you name all died centuries before the Iconoclastic Controversy ever required a Seventh Council. Do you think they would have the foresight to recognize that the EO would need to call a Seventh Ecumenical Council and call the Church the "Church of the Seven Councils" centuries in advance? We call ourselves the "Church of the Seven Councils" in a way synonymous with calling ourselves the "Eastern Orthodox Church"--it's more of a label that (sadly) shows how we are separate from the "heterodox" churches (one major communion of whom many EO today believe never was heterodox despite our misunderstanding).
Didymus I think to answer your question about why the Orthodox call themselves the "church of the 7 councils" is because 8 and 9 are not truly considered ecumenical because of the division between east and west. interestingly didymus I was actually going to ask a learned OO whether there were OO saints that were 100% against the EO and vice versa. Also to answer that particular query both of can agree no matter how righteous and holy a saint is that does not mean what they say is doctrine and is definitely not infallible what we should admire is that these people died to protect the apostolic faith at all costs!
which pretty much concedes Roman Catholic claims
It smacks of the kind a of Roman-Catholicness people have come to disrespect.
How so?
It is a common Roman Catholic claim that our Church is unable (post-schism) to hold an Ecumenical Council because we are not in Communion with the Pope, and they point to the fact that we (supposedly) only accept seven Ecumenical Councils.
It is a common Roman Catholic claim that our Church is unable (post-schism) to hold an Ecumenical Council because we are not in Communion with the Pope, and they point to the fact that we (supposedly) only accept seven Ecumenical Councils. Now, even accepting that we only hold to seven Ecumenical Councils, the conclusion does not follow. However, podromas, in saying that the Eighth and Ninth Ecumenical Councils are not truly Ecumenical because the west was not involved (and, as I said before, this is not valid for the Eighth), concedes this point. It follows from his reasoning that we are even unable to hold an Ecumenical Council in the future.
So I re-assert the question: Why the need to say church of the 7 councils? It is in my view arrogance and upity high mindedness , a we-are-the truely-blessed-and-they-are-not attitude that is behind this insensitive and un-necessary term.
Deacon,I really don't think that most EO's have this attitude. I know Peter the Aleut doesn't have that sort of outlook. I think the EO's just think of their Church's beliefs as having been defined by these seven councils, same as we think of our Church's beliefs as having been defined by the three we recognize. They are just stating a fact about their Church. Perhaps some are arrogant about it, but not most. I think you were too quick to come to the conclusion that there was an attitude when there wasn't any. Let's try to assume the best about those we discuss this with. Thanks.
I personally don't even refer to my (EO) Church as the "Church of the Seven Councils;" to me, she is just the Church. This is not borne out of any personal objection to the more restrictive name; I just never saw any reason to use it.
For we are satisfied with the doctrine and faith of the apostles and of the holy fathers, the three hundred and eighteen bishops; to which also the illustrious Council of the one hundred and fifty in the Royal City, and the two other holy Synods at Ephesus adhered, and which they confirmed.
"the [Oriental] Church saw nothing objectionable about the veneration of icons established by what the [Eastern Orthodox] call the Seventh Council."I find it very interesting that the "crisis" of iconoclasm did not even effect western europe (which at the time was VERY Eastern Orthodox). Until this current discussion, it never occurred to me that there was yet another "body" of Christians that never had to deal with the crisis of iconoclasm: which is the "Oriental" Orthodox. It would certainly make sense that the Byzantine empire would be the most insistent on "accepting the 7th Ecumenical council" if they were the only ones that had to deal with that crisis in the first place!This is not to diminish the VAST differences between Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism... however, I hope this "insight" leads all readers of this thread (especially EO) to an awareness that perhaps the "7th Ecumencial Council" was perhaps more local than "ecumenical."God bless
Our theologians admit we all believe the same thing, but these other issues are pretty big and need to be resolved.
However, I understand that Armenian Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox do not believe the same thing when it comes to the use of leavened or unleavend bread? Is it true that the Armenians use unleavened bread, but the Eastern Orthodox say that it is correct to use leavened bread.

Enrico Fermi, (born Sept. 29, 1901, Rome, Italy—died Nov. 28, 1954, Chicago, Ill., U.S.), Italian-born American scientist who was one of the chief architects of the nuclear age. He developed the mathematical statistics required to clarify a large class of subatomic phenomena, explored nuclear transformations caused by neutrons, and directed the first controlled chain reaction involving nuclear fission. He was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize for Physics, and the Enrico Fermi Award of the U.S. Department of Energy is given in his honour. Fermilab, the National Accelerator Laboratory, in Illinois, is named for him, as is fermium, element number 100.
Early life and education
Fermi's father, Alberto Fermi, was a chief inspector of the government railways; his mother was Ida de Gattis, a schoolteacher. In 1918 Enrico Fermi won a scholarship to the University of Pisa's distinguished Scuola Normale Superiore, where his knowledge of recent physics benefited even the professors. After receiving a doctorate in 1922, Fermi used fellowships from the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction and the Rockefeller Foundation to study in Germany under Max Born, at the University of Göttingen, and in the Netherlands under Paul Ehrenfest, at the State University of Leiden.
European career
Fermi returned home to Italy in 1924 to a position as a lecturer in mathematical physics at the University of Florence. His early research was in general relativity, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics. Examples of gas degeneracy (appearance of unexpected phenomena) had been known, and some cases were explained by Bose-Einstein statistics, which describes the behaviour of subatomic particles known as bosons. Between 1926 and 1927, Fermi and the English physicist P.A.M. Dirac independently developed new statistics, now known as Fermi-Dirac statistics, to handle the subatomic particles that obey the Pauli exclusion principle; these particles, which include electrons, protons, neutrons (not yet discovered), and other particles with half-integer spin, are now known as fermions. This was a contribution of exceptional importance to atomic and nuclear physics, particularly in this period when quantum mechanics was first being applied.
This seminal work brought Fermi an invitation in 1926 to become a full professor at the University of Rome. Shortly after Fermi took up his new position in 1927, Franco Rasetti, a friend from Pisa and another superb experimentalist, joined Fermi in Rome, and they began to gather a group of talented students about them. These included Emilio Segrè, Ettore Majorana, Edoardo Amaldi, and Bruno Pontecorvo, all of whom had distinguished careers. Fermi, a charismatic, energetic, and seemingly infallible figure, clearly was the leader—so much so that his colleagues called him "the Pope."
In 1929 Fermi, as Italy's first professor of theoretical physics and a rising star in European science, was named by Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini to his new Accademia d'Italia, a position that included a substantial salary (much larger than that for any ordinary university position), a uniform, and a title ("Excellency").
During the late 1920s, quantum mechanics solved problem after problem in atomic physics. Fermi, earlier than most others, recognized that the field was becoming exhausted, however, and he deliberately changed his focus to the more primitively developed field of nuclear physics. Radioactivity had been recognized as a nuclear phenomenon for almost two decades by this time, but puzzles still abounded. In beta decay, or the expulsion of a negative electron from the nucleus, energy and momentum seemed not to be conserved. Fermi made use of the neutrino, an almost undetectable particle that had been postulated a few years earlier by the Austrian-born physicist Wolfgang Pauli, to fashion a theory of beta decay in which balance was restored. This led to recognition that beta decay was a manifestation of the weak force, one of the four known universal forces (the others being gravitation, electromagnetism, and the strong force).
In 1933 the French husband-and-wife team of Frédéric and Irène Joliot-Curie discovered artificial radioactivity caused by alpha particles (helium nuclei). Fermi quickly reasoned that the neutral neutron, found a year earlier by the English physicist James Chadwick, would be an even better projectile with which to bombard charged nuclei in order to initiate such reactions. With his colleagues, Fermi subjected more than 60 elements to neutron bombardment, using a Geiger-Müller counter to detect emissions and conducting chemical analyses to determine the new radioactive isotopes produced. Along the way, they found by chance that neutrons that had been slowed in their velocity often were more effective. When testing uranium they observed several activities, but they could not interpret what occurred. Some scientists thought that they had produced transuranium elements, namely elements higher than uranium at atomic number 92. The issue was not resolved until 1938, when the German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann experimentally, and the Austrian physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch theoretically, cleared the confusion by revealing that the uranium had split and the several radioactivities detected were from fission fragments.
Fermi was little interested in politics, yet he grew increasingly uncomfortable with the fascist politics of his homeland. When Italy adopted the anti-Semitic policies of its ally, Nazi Germany, a crisis occurred, for Fermi's wife, Laura, was Jewish. The award of the 1938 Nobel Prize for Physics serendipitously provided the excuse for the family to travel abroad, and the prize money helped to establish them in the United States.
American career
Settling first in New York City and then in Leonia, N.J., Fermi began his new life at Columbia University, in New York City. Within weeks of his arrival, news that uranium could fission astounded the physics community. Scientists had known for many years that nuclei could disgorge small chunks, such as alpha particles, beta particles, protons, and neutrons, either in natural radioactivity or upon bombardment by a projectile. However, they had never seen a nucleus split almost in two. The implications were both exciting and ominous, and they were recognized widely. When uranium fissioned, some mass was converted to energy, according to Albert Einstein's famous formula E = mc2. Uranium also emitted a few neutrons in addition to the larger fragments. If these neutrons could be slowed to maximize their efficiency, they could participate in a controlled chain reaction to produce energy; that is, a nuclear reactor could be built. The same neutrons traveling at their initial high speed could also participate in an uncontrolled chain reaction, liberating an enormous amount of energy through many generations of fission events, all within a fraction of a second; that is, an atomic bomb could be built.
Working primarily with the Hungarian-born physicist Leo Szilard, Fermi constructed experimental arrangements of neutron sources and pieces of uranium. They sought to determine the necessary size of a structure, the best material to use as a moderator to slow neutrons, the necessary purity of all components (so neutrons would not be lost), and the best substance for forming control rods that could absorb neutrons to slow or stop the reaction. Fermi visited Washington, D.C., to alert the U.S. Navy about their research, but his guarded enthusiasm led only to a tiny grant. It was left to Einstein's letter to U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt about the potential of an atomic bomb, in the summer of 1939, to initiate continuing government interest, and even that grew slowly.
When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, nuclear research was consolidated to some degree. Fermi had built a series of "piles," as he called them, at Columbia. Now he moved to the University of Chicago, where he continued to construct piles in a space under the stands of the football field. The final structure, a flattened sphere about 7.5 metres (25 feet) in diameter, contained 380 tons of graphite blocks as the moderator and 6 tons of uranium metal and 40 tons of uranium oxide as the fuel, distributed in a careful pattern. The pile went "critical" on Dec. 2, 1942, proving that a nuclear reaction could be initiated, controlled, and stopped. Chicago Pile-1, as it was called, was the first prototype for several large nuclear reactors constructed at Hanford, Wash., where plutonium, a man-made element heavier than uranium, was produced. Plutonium also could fission and thus was another route to the atomic bomb.
In 1944 Fermi became an American citizen and moved to Los Alamos, N.M., where physicist J. Robert Oppenheimerled the Manhattan Project's laboratory, whose mission was to fashion weapons out of the rare uranium-235 isotope and plutonium. Fermi was an associate director of the lab and headed one of its divisions. When the first plutonium bomb was tested on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, N.M., Fermi ingeniously made a rough calculation of its explosive energy by noting how far slips of paper were blown from the vertical.
After the war ended, Fermi accepted a permanent position at the University of Chicago, where he influenced another distinguished group of physicists, including Harold Agnew, Owen Chamberlin, Geoffrey Chew, James Cronin, Jerome Friedman, Richard Garwin, Murray Gell-Mann, Marvin Goldberger, Tsung-Dao Lee, Jack Steinberger, and Chen Ning Yang. As in Rome, Fermi recognized that his current pursuits, now in nuclear physics, were approaching a condition of maturity. He thus redirected his sights on reactions at higher energies, a field called elementary particle physics, or high-energy physics.
Since the war, science had been recognized in the United States as highly important to national security. Fermi largely avoided politics, but he did agree to serve on the General Advisory Committee (GAC), which counseled the five commissioners of the Atomic Energy Commission. In response to the revelation in September 1949 that the Soviet Union had detonated an atomic bomb, many Americans urged the government to try to construct a thermonuclear bomb, which can be orders of magnitude more powerful. GAC was publicly unanimous in opposing this step, mostly on technical grounds, with Fermi and Isidor Rabi going further by introducing an ethical question into so-called "objective" advice. Such a bomb, they wrote, "becomes a weapon which in practical effect is almost one of genocide…. It is necessarily an evil thing considered in any light." U.S. Pres. Harry S. Truman decided otherwise, and a loyal Fermi went for a time back to Los Alamos to assist in the development of fusion weapons, however with the hope that they might prove impossible to construct.
Fermi primarily investigated subatomic particles, particularly pi mesons and muons, after returning to Chicago. He was also known as a superb teacher, and many of his lectures are still in print. During his later years he raised a question now known as the Fermi paradox: "Where is everybody?" He was asking why no extraterrestrial civilizations seemed to be around to be detected, despite the great size and age of the universe. He pessimistically thought that the answer might involve nuclear annihilation.
