text:
Archbishop Pio Laghi, the Popes representative in Washington, D.C., has recently been appointed head of the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education (for Seminaries and Educational Institutions). Archbishop Laghi is leaving behind a hierarchy that he helped remake under the direction of John Paul II. As the Popes representative to the US. church he was intimately involved in the appointment of bishops (see "The Selection of Bishops," AM., Aug. 18, 1984). His legacy to the U S. church includes the bishops appointed during his tenure, some of whom will serve into the 21st century.
The bishops appointed under Archbishop Laghi are often compared to those appointed under Archbishop Jean Jadot, whom he replaced in December 1980. The consensus among journalists and nonepiscopal experts is that the bishops appointed under Archbishop Laghi and John Paul II are more "conservative" than bishops appointed under Archbishop Jadot and Paul VI. These labels apply primarily to church issues, not political or economic issues. Cardinal John OConnor of New York, for example, is frequently referred to as a conservative, yet he is very pro-labor and testified against the MX missile. He is more like a Kennedy-Johnson Democrat than a Reagan Republican, but his strong views on abortion make him anathema to some political liberals. The more thoughtful observers of the American hierarchy focus on internal church issues when comparing bishops, rather than on these political issues.
As Msgr. John Tracy Ellis told the National Catholic Reporter (April 20): "I would characterize the Laghi bishops as theologically correct, meaning that they follow the line of the Holy See. They dont vary or wander away.... I dont think a man of very liberal sentiments and views would have a chance at all." E. 1. Dionne Jr., made the same point succinctly in the New York Times (Jan. 30, 1987); The Jadot bishops "tend to be liberal... The Laghi bishops... tend to be more conservative."
Archbishop Laghi and Archbishop Jadot disagree with analyses of this sort. "There is no difference between the appointments made by Laghi and myself," Archbishop Jadot told me in 1983. "Most of the candidates appointed I would have proposed as my number-one choice. Some I would not have expected for the particular diocese they received. For example, I knew [Adam 1.] Maida was a man to keep an eye on, but I had never thought of Green Bay for him. I knew that [Anthony 1.] Bevilacqua would not remain an auxiliary in Brooklyn." It is interesting that Archbishop Jadot mentioned seven years ago men who eventually became archbishops of cardinalatial sees. Archbishop Laghi, it should be added, declined to be interviewed for this article.
Neither do the US. bishops agree with the medias division of the hierarchy into liberal and conservative. Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk, made Archbishop of Cincinnati under Laghi and now president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, refused to generalize on the difference between the Laghi and Jadot appointments. "There is the folk wisdom that it has all gone conservative," he told me. "I mistrust those labels for one thing."
It is probably impossible to resolve this debate. I would not deny the hypothesis that the Laghi bishops are more conservative than the Jadot bishops. But before I would accept it as proven, I would like to see more clarity in defining conservative and more than anecdotal evidence to support the thesis. It is not clear, for example, that the Jadot bishops were really that liberal. Archbishop Jadot told me that when he was in Washington: "If a priest had given a lecture or written an article against Humanae Vitae or for womens ordination, he would have had a difficult time becoming a bishop. He was saying the opposite of the magisterium."
"My perception is that Archbishop Laghi has tried to nominate the best possible men for the job," says Archbishop Pilarczyk. "He of course does not have the last word. He makes his recommendations, and then those recommendations are sent over to the Congregation for Bishops and ultimately a recommendation is made to the Holy Father."
Archbishop Pilarczyks comments point to the central problem in judging the Laghi legacy. The secrecy of the process for selection of bishops makes it impossible to know whom Archbishop Laghi may have recommended for a see. We do not know when he was doing what he was told and when he was acting on his own. One bishop told me the Pro-Nuncios appointments would have been better if he had not been constrained by Rome. Americans in Rome like Cardinal William W. Baum and Archbishop Justin F. Rigali are said to be very influential in the appointment of bishops. The final judgment on the Laghi legacy cannot be made until sometime in the next century, when historians have access to what are now secret files and correspondence. In the meantime, evaluations can only be tentative and impressionistic.
The second problem in judging the Laghi legacy is that we have little more than anecdotal evidence of the theological views of the American bishops. Most of these anecdotes are about archbishops of major sees. While the 32 Latin-rite archbishops make up only 11 percent of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (N.C.C.B.), they have an impact beyond their numbers. During Archbishop Jadots tenure, which began in 1973, 15 archbishops were appointed: William D. Borders to Baltimore, Patrick F. Flores to San Antonio, Peter L. Gerety to Newark, James A. Hickey to Washington, Raymond G. Hunthausen to Seattle, Francis T. Hurley to Anchorage, Oscar H. Lipscomb to Mobile, Edward A. McCarthy to Miami, John L. May to St. Louis, Edward T. OMeara to Indianapolis, John R. Quinn to San Francisco, John R. Roach to St. Paul, Charles A. Salatka to Oklahoma City, Robert Sanchez to Santa Fe and Rembert Weakland, O. S. B., to Milwaukee.
During Archbishop Laghis years in Washington, 18 archbishops were appointed: Joseph Bernardin to Chicago, Anthony 1. Bevilacqua to Philadelphia, William H. Keeler to Baltimore, Thomas C. Kelly, o.P., to Louisville, Daniel Kucera to Dubuque, Bernard F. Law to Boston, William 1. Levada to Portland, Theodore E. McCarrick to Newark, Roger M. Mahony to Los Angeles, Adam 1. Maida to Detroit, Eugene A. Marino, S.S.J., to Atlanta, Thomas 1. Murphy as coadjutor archbishop to Seattle, John 1. OConnor to New York, Daniel E. Pilarczyk to Cincinnati, Joseph T. Ryan to the military archdiocese, Francis B. Schulte to New Orleans, 1. Francis Stafford to Denver and Edmund C. Szoka to Detroit.
Discretion encourages me to leave the judging of these archbishops to the reader and God. It is clear, however, that Cardinal Hickey, a Jadot appointment, is no more a darling of the liberals than Cardinal Bernardin, a Laghi appointment, is a darling of the conservatives. Three of the Jadot archbishops (May, Roach and Quinn) have been elected president of the N. C. C. B. Two of the Laghi archbishops (Bernardin and Pilarczyk) have been president and another (Keeler) soon will be. A number from both groups have been elected by their peers to chair bishops conference committees.
It is also important to note that 13 of the 18 Laghi archbishops started their episcopal careers under Jadot: Archbishops Bevilacqua, Keeler, Kelly, Kucera, Law, McCarrick, Mahony, Marino, Murphy, OConnor, Pilarczyk, Stafford and Szoka. If these men had not become bishops under Jadot, it is unlikely they would have been appointed archbishops under Laghi. Thus both the papal representatives share the credit or blame for these 13 archbishops.
Often these selections for archiepiscopal sees are cited to categorize the entire U. S. hierarchy, but they make up only a handful of all the bishops appointed during Laghis and Jadots terms. In discussing the appointment of bishops, it is essential to distinguish between first appointments and promotions. Approximately 134 new bishops were ordained during Laghis tenure. These new appointees make up about 44 percent of the active members of the N.C.C.B. In addition, other bishops, appointed under earlier apostolic delegates, were promoted under Laghi.
One needs to focus on these 134 new bishops if one really wants to understand the Laghi legacy. In the analysis that follows below, I will compare the backgrounds of these 134 new bishops with those of the 103 new bishops appointed under Jadot. The analysis is based on my ongoing survey of U. S. bishops to which 97 percent of the bishops have responded (see "Survey of the American Bishops," AM., Nov. 12, 1983).
Laghi Myths
There are a number of myths about the Laghi bishops that are clearly false.
Myth 1: "Under Laghi, fewer pastors were appointed bishops than under Jadot."
Fact: At the time of their appointments, 36 percent of the priests ordained bishops under both Jadot and Laghi were pastors. When one looks at the appointees entire careers, more had been pastors at some time prior to their appointments under Laghi (69 percent) than under Jadot (65 percent).
Myth 2: "Laghi appointed more bureaucrats and chancery officials than Jadot."
Fact: At the time of their episcopal ordination during the Jadot years, a slightly higher percentage of priests were chancery officials (38 percent) than was the case during the Laghi years (35 percent). Similarly, 44 percent of the Jadot appointees had at some time held a major chancery position (chancellor, vicar general, secretary to the bishop, moderator of the curia) compared to 42 percent for the Laghi appointees. Under Jadot, only 19 percent of the new appointees lacked chancery experience while under Laghi 28 percent had no chancery experience. Moreover, we also find that Laghi appointed more priests with experience as seminary teachers or administrators than Jadot did (48 percent contrasted with 31 percent).
Myth 3: "Jadot appointees were better educated than Laghi appointees."
Fact: Under Jadot 46 percent of the appointees had a higher secular degree (M.A., M.S.w or Ph.D), while under Laghi 55 percent had such degrees. Under Jadot 38 percent had ecclesiastical degrees, while under Laghi 47 percent had such degrees.
Myth 4: "Laghi appointed more canon lawyers than Jadot."
Fact: Under both Laghi and Jadot, 15 percent of the priests appointed bishops had a degree in canon law (lC.L. or lC.D.). The increase actually was in theological degrees (S.T.L., S.T.M. or S.T.D.) under Laghi (34 percent) as opposed to Jadot (23 percent).
This is an analysis of the data for all the priests who were ordained to the episcopate, either as auxiliary bishops or heads of dioceses, during the Jadot and Laghi tenures. Some might disagree with this approach and say that the bishops who really count are those who head dioceses.
But what differences appear when one compares those men (either priests or auxiliary bishops) who were made heads of dioceses under Jadot with those appointed to these positions under Laghi? (Canon lawyers used to refer to such bishops as ordinaries, but now the correct term is diocesan bishops.) Even in the appointment of diocesan bishops, the statistics go in the wrong direction for myths two and three: Laghi diocesan bishops are better educated than Jadot diocesan bishops, and they were less likely to have held major chancery positions than Jadot diocesan bishops (50 versus 62 percent). In fact, 23 percent of the diocesan bishops appointed under Laghi never worked in a chancery as opposed to only 16 percent under Jadot. Under Jadot, however, pastors were somewhat more likely to become diocesan bishops: 70 percent of his selections had been pastors as opposed to 63 percent of Laghis. On the other hand, canon lawyers were more likely to become diocesan bishops under Laghi (20 percent) than under Jadot (16 percent). Thus there is a small amount of evidence to support myth one and four when speaking of diocesan bishops appointed under Laghi.
Family Backgrounds
My survey of the bishops looks at their backgrounds, educations and work experience as priests. It does not delve into their theological views. In order to get a rough picture of their socioeconomic backgrounds, I asked the bishops about the education level of their fathers. I would expect that the education level would rise over time- later appointees would presumably come from better educated families as the level of education of Catholics rises nationwide.
This prediction is borne out in the case of diocesan bishops. The education level of fathers of diocesan bishops appointed under Laghi was higher than under Jadot; 47 percent of Laghis diocesan bishops had fathers who had at least graduated from high school as opposed to 41 percent for Jadots diocesan bishops. However, there was little difference between priests ordained bishops under Laghi and Jadot: 55 percent of the Jadot appointees and 54 percent of the Laghi appointees had fathers who never graduated from high school. The blue-collar roots of the American hierarchy are still intact.
The ethnic and racial backgrounds of new appointees have changed a little. Blacks have moved from 3 percent of the new appointees under Jadot to 6 percent under Laghi. The Hispanic proportion, however, has surprisingly declined from 9 percent under Jadot to 7 percent under Laghi. Other ethnic backgrounds are more difficult to measure, but it appears that the Irish are losing and the Eastern Europeans are gaining. Under Jadot approximately 40 percent of the new appointees were of Irish descent and 5 percent were of Eastern European background. Under Laghi the corresponding percentages were 26 and 16. The statistics on diocesan bishops follow the same direction as for initial episcopal appointments, except that the percentage of black diocesan bishops appointed also declined to 1 percent under Laghi from 2 percent under Jadot.
Religious Bishops
One of the largest statistical differences between Jadot and Laghi bishops involves the appointment of religious as bishops. Under Jadot, only 8 percent of the new appointees were members of religious orders or congregations. Under Laghi, that number jumped to 25 percent. There has also been a jump in the percentage of religious appointed diocesan bishops, from 8 percent under Jadot to 16 percent under Laghi. In some ways, the United States, like Ireland, was atypical in that it was almost impossible for a religious to be made a bishop 25 years ago. It is clear that Laghi has broken down the barrier barring U. S. religious from the episcopacy.
Likewise, fewer of the new appointees were local boys. That is, fewer priests were ordained bishops to serve in the diocese where they had been ordained priests. Under Jadot, 59 percent of the new appointees took up their crosiers in the diocese where they had been a priest. Under Laghi, the percentage has dropped to 42 percent. Likewise, 23 percent of the diocesan bishops appointed under Jadot were from the dioceses they served, while for Laghi diocesan bishops the percentage was only 11.
The importance of a Roman education has also increased slightly under Laghi: 35 percent of Laghis new appointees studied in Rome, up from 31 percent under Jadot. The difference for diocesan bishops is even greater with 44 percent of Laghis having studied in Rome, and only 27 percent of Jadots. Also significant is the decline in appointments for former student~ of The Catholic University of America, where Jadot found 35 percent of his new appointees and 39 percent of his diocesan bishops. Laghi went to this source for only 26 percent of his new appointees and 28 percent of his diocesan bishops.
The Laghi bishops were also older when appointed. Laghis new appointees averaged 52 years of age and his diocesan bishops averaged 54 years. Jadots new appointees had averaged 49 and his diocesan bishops had averaged 51. This increase is at least partially due to the overall aging of the clergy from whom the bishops are selected.
Finally, as a rough measure of peer evaluation, I asked all the bishops whether they had ever been elected to a priests senate or council. (I presume the clergy elects to their councils priests whom they respect.) One would expect the percentage of episcopal appointees who had been elected to priests councils to increase in recent years since councils only became common after Vatican II and were only mandated in 1983 by the new code of canon law. In other words, the clerical pool available to Laghi included more priests who had been members of priests councils than the pool of candidates available to Jadot.
Surprisingly, however, the statistics go in the opposite direction. Under Jadot 63 percent of the new appointees had been elected to priests senates or councils, whereas only 52 percent had been under Laghi. Likewise in the appointment of diocesan bishops, 61 percent had been council members under Jadot and 52 percent under Laghi. The religious appointees may be responsible for some of this decline, but even religious can be elected to priests councils, especially if they are involved in diocesan ministries.
What can we say, then, about the differences between the Laghi and the Jadot appointees? My survey does not deal with the theological views of the bishops. It was only a simple questionnaire about their backgrounds. What becomes clear, however, is that the episcopal appointments became less connected to the local diocesan clergy under Archbishop Laghi. The Laghi appointees also appear to have less credibility with their peers as measured by priests council elections.
Perhaps the so-called pastoral bishops appointed under Archbishop Jadot were primarily bishops who were good at dealing with priests. Jadot and Rome were responding to clergy-bishop conflicts of the late 1960s and early 1970s. For episcopal candidates, they looked for priests who were well respected and liked by their peers. With peace reestablished among the clergy, this is no longer a high priority.
Pope John Paul II told the American bishops in 1983 to look for "priests who have already proven themselves as teachers of the faith as it is proclaimed by the Magisterium of the church" (emphasis his). My survey indicates that these candidates are increasingly being found among religious priests, among priests who have studied in Rome, among priests who have worked in seminaries, among Eastern European priests and among priests serving in archdioceses rather than dioceses. How well they do will be reported by future historians.
It is clear, however, that Rome was pleased with the work of Archbishop Laghi. He now becomes Pro-Prefect of the Congregation for Education, which deals with seminaries and Catholic colleges and universities. His predecessor, Archbishop Jadot, was appointed to a less important office when he returned to Rome and never became a cardinal.
As an Archbishop, Laghi will be a Pro-Prefect of the congregation. He is, however, used to hyphenated titles. He became Pro-Nuncio after diplomatic relations were established between the United States and the Holy See in 1984 (see "Three Years Later: US. Relations with the Holy See," AM. 11/17/87). As a Pro-Nuncio he was the Holy Sees Ambassador to the United States.
Archbishop Laghi will be pro-prefect of his congregation until he gets a red hat because only cardinals can be prefects. Most observers believe that he will lose that hyphen at the next consistory-perhaps sometime this year or next-when additional cardinals are created. He probably has little chance of becoming Pope because at 68, he is only two years younger than the present Pope. He will, however, continue to have a vote in the appointment of US. bishops because as prefect of the Congregation for Education he is an ex officio member of the Congregation of Bishops.
His replacement probably will be appointed soon. The United States is a plum for the Vatican diplomatic corps just as it is for any foreign service. Archbishop Laghis replacement will therefore be someone senior in the Vatican service, who has already served as a nuncio elsewhere. He will have to be fluent in English, perhaps an Italian currently serving as a nuncio in an English-speaking country. And, of course, he will have to be well trusted in Rome. Whoever he is, he will continue to reshape the US. hierarchy according to the mind of John Paul II.

These food pairing rules are sensible, well reasoned and rooted in sensory physiology. The only exception I would make is the salt and protein. This one is not really supported by chemistry and sensory physiology - especially as far as mitigation of astringency goes.

Hi SUAMW,
The suppressive qualities of salt are well documented - Dr. Gary Beauchamp, president of the famous Monell Institute did his doctoral thesis on this subject and followed with a study in greater detail: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8788095
We are in agreement (I think?) that protein does not mitigate astringency.
- October 11, 2011 at 6:30 AM
- SUAMW said...
Actually, there is suppresion of a signal and there is mitigation of astringency. Rare protein does the latter. It binds tannins, the same way buccal cell surface proteins do. When the tannins bind to buccal cell surface proteins, they denature them, increasing the mechanical friction between the inner cheek and other mouth structures - like teeth. A meal rich in rare (un/under cooked proteins binds the tannins in wine resulting in a less astringent mouthfeel/texture.
- October 11, 2011 at 12:54 PM
- SUAMW said...
I forgot to say that because of this mechanism, proteins can make the wine more expressive than salt.

I used to have similar rationale about proteins and astringency but my conversations with the scientific community and continued trials and observations seem to contradict the proposition. The other really intangible piece is that it somehow "makes the wine more expressive" is very, very subjective. I presented the conventionally held theory that the tannins are bound by uncoagulated proteins to a group of sensory scientists about 20 years ago and the idea was summarily dismissed by all, including 2 people who are lubricity experts. In fact, you may have gotten the whole theory from my earlier work I promoted (before this workshop dismissing the idea!).
- October 11, 2011 at 1:49 PM
- SUAMW said...
Funny. My "rationale" is also based on trials and on discussions with the scientific community - at Monell.
When you eliminate signal suppression and mitigate the interaction of tannins with oral mucosa, you DO allow the wine to be more expressive. Signal suppression modulates and diminishes sensory data. Tanins interacting with protein do not.
It seems that there has been more work since what you have cited because when I spoke to Bruce Bryant at Monell (about a year ago), he cited the effect of tannin-protein interaction as the most viable factor and mentioned some works which I cannot recall at this moment. Lubricity is a function of oils and fats.

I'm nervous and excited all at the same time!! Our club has 3 cavaliers coming into rescue in the next couple of weeks and I'm going to foster one starting tomorrow! This guy is a little (12 lb) approx 4 year old blenheim that was found as a stray and turned into a kennel. Our rescue person is going to pick him up tomorrow and deliver him right to my groomer (Lil Miss Priss) for clean up. I'll meet them there and bring him home. He's a cutie. I've gone and bought a crate and am anxiously awaiting his arrival.
Jake and Shelby are just great with other cavaliers. Neither had any problem letting Shiloh and Rory into their domain and sharing their stuff, so we'll see how things go.
Hubby and I have talked about getting a third and both agreed we don't want to start out with a puppy again. We'll foster this guy and see how things go.
Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes okay! Any advice from any of you pros out there??!! (Karlin, I specifically had you in mind when I agreed to do this!)

NEW ORLEANS. – After a strong weekend of competition for the Lipscomb cross country teams, both men's and women's squads moved up in the South Region rankings as announced by the United State Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association.
The women's team moved to fifth place after finishing second at the Vanderbilt Invite, beating other regionally ranked squads of Mississippi, Mississippi State, Southern Miss and Belmont.
The men's team climbed up to sixth place after winning the Vanderbilt Invite. The men beat other regionally ranked squads of Mississippi State, ETSU, Belmont, Memphis and Middle Tennessee State.
"It's nice to get attention for what our programs are doing," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "We've had a strong start to the season. Despite the strong start, both teams have a lot of room for improvement, which is very exciting.
"The rankings indicate we are in the mix in the region. It's up to us what we do with that."
The women are the only Atlantic Sun Conference team to be ranked. The men are joined by ETSU, who is ranked 10th.
Lipscomb returns to the course Saturday at the Eric Anderson Invite in Spokane, Wash.

Who Are The Outhousers?
It's like the old saying goes: you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose. Likewise, you cannot pick your comic book journalists. That's why, for so long, you were pretty much stuck with CBR. The Outhousers may not be the comics journalists you deserve, but we're the comics journalists you need right now. The Outhousers have come to save comics... from themselves!

What's traditionally been a sport dominated by Japanese imports is finally having to take notice of the Europeans. Here at european car Magazine as well as eurotuner.com we've been involved in a Time Attack event known as Super Lap Battle for several years. The competition is organized by ourselves and sister publications Super Street, Modified, Honda Tuning and Import Tuner Magazines. It generally sees a host of cars like the Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru STI and various Frankenstein Honda or Scions taking the podium. This year, however, a quartet of European tuners showed up to steal several class wins.
Each year we seem to find ourselves following two or three European cars as they attempt to tackle the well-funded Japanese imports. And while this year was no exception, thankfully a few refugees from our Tuner GP (EC 2/13) came out to defend our collective honor.
This year, we were well-represented by Berk Technology and European Auto Source (EAS) who had joined forces, as well as Platte Forme AG, Renner Motorsports and R's Tuning. Each brought M3 racers and each made it to the podium by day's end.
Platte Forme had been clever and hired the services of Time Attack legend Eiji "Tarzan" Yamada to pilot their E46 M3. The car was on a set of racing tires rather than the street tires for our Tuner GP, which gave Tarzan the edge he needed to take first place in the Limited RWD category, setting a lap time of 1:50.755.
Tarzan also set a new Buttonwillow track record in the GTA Time Attack series that was running concurrently with ours. Not to be outdone, Terry Liu took the Platte Forme BMW Z4 Coupe to third place in the Street RWD category.
Our friends at European Auto Source were receiving assistance from Berk Technology to improve the performance of its E92 M3. With upgraded Clubsport suspension and sticky Hankook tires, it proved to be worth third place in Limited RWD when driver Dez Ballard set a time of 1:56.841.
Meanwhile, Renner Motorsport stole second place in the Unlimited RWD class with a 1:51.860 lap. Piloted by Don Pastor, the 600hp widebody
M3 turbo was consistently in the top five during the day, finding more speed in each session.
Better known for working on the Nissan GT-R, R's Tuning brought a VF-supercharged E92 M3 "shop car" and claimed a credible fifth place in the Limited RWD class. In fact, they were typical of a growing number of Asian import tuners turning their attention to the European platforms. Chris Rado, for example, turned up with his bonkers Scion TC but was roaming the grounds in his latest SEMA project, a Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. It was constructed by his company World Racing with the objective of breaking into the European market.

"No longer is it whether we can achieve an AIDS-free generation. Now, the question is: How long will it take and will it be sustained?" Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the NIH, writes in a Washington Post opinion piece. "Vaccines historically have played an important role in the control and even elimination of global health scourges such as smallpox, polio and measles," he notes, adding, "So two important questions regarding an AIDS-free generation are: Is an HIV vaccine needed to reach this goal, and if so, what role will it play?" He continues, "While the road to an AIDS-free generation will be long and arduous, recent progress in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment has been encouraging," noting, "Initiatives such as [PEPFAR] and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria are channeling antiretroviral treatment to millions of people in hard-hit countries." Fauci adds, "Mathematical models suggest that, by implementing existing HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention tools much more broadly worldwide, we can reach an AIDS-free generation."
"But without an effective HIV vaccine, reaching that goal will take much longer and will be more difficult, and along the way more people will become infected and more lives will be lost," Fauci continues. "So while it may be possible, and even likely, to achieve an AIDS-free generation without it, an effective HIV vaccine would get us to an AIDS-free generation faster and, more important, help sustain that accomplishment," he writes, adding, "To attain and sustain an AIDS-free generation, those who are already infected or at risk of infection must faithfully practice recommended treatment and/or prevention strategies." Fauci continues, "Contrast this to an HIV vaccine. For it to be effective, a person probably would need to receive a small number of recommended immunizations, possibly just one." He adds, "When we do succeed, an HIV vaccine will be the main driver to not only accelerate the decline of new HIV infections -- and to do so more efficiently and cost-effectively -- but also to maintain an AIDS-free generation once we get there" (7/11).

Land acquisition should begin in a matter of weeks for an extension of Stanford Avenue that would create a new traffic link between east and west Springfield.
Construction of the two-thirds of a mile extension between Fox Bridge Road and Taylor Avenue is expected to begin in early 2015 and take two years. Federal funds will pay $2.9 million of the estimated $5.2 million cost, with the city covering $2.3 million, according to figures released by a local transportation planning committee.
Work includes a three-lane road, sidewalks and a bike path along the north side of the road that would connect to the Lost Bridge Trail recreation path between Springfield and Rochester.
�We�re in design and engineering. Then we�ll be moving into land acquisition in the next month or two,� city engineer Nate Bottom said after a Thursday meeting of the Springfield Area Transportation Study committee.
The committee of local transportation and community planners helps to set priorities for road construction projects.
Extension of Stanford Avenue would complete an east-west corridor between Dirksen Parkway and Veterans Parkway.
�It�s going to open that all up,� said Bottom, noting that eight acres of mostly wooded land would be needed for the extension.
Stanford Avenue moved to the top of a local transportation priority list in the last few years, said senior planner Linda Wheeland of the Springfield-Sangamon County Regional Planning Commission. She said federal funding is allotted based on a scoring system that takes into account community significance, congestion, safety, and whether a project accommodates vehicle, bike and pedestrian traffic.
�Stanford scored the highest (of local road projects),� Wheeland said.
Richard and Cindy Pottier have tracked the Stanford Avenue project for a decade at KnR Awards, an awards and trophies shop at 808 E. Stanford Ave.
The couple said city officials contacted them about a year ago regarding the possibility a right of way would be needed for long-term plans to widen the existing Stanford Avenue from Fox Bridge Road to Sixth Street. But they said they have heard little since.
Richard Pottier said improvements are needed � especially widening the existing avenue � as commercial development continues in that area of the city.
�If you look at the traffic out here, it gets pretty crazy,� Pottier said. �When they open this up, you�re going to see more traffic.�
Stanford Avenue extension
* Two-thirds of a mile between Fox Bridge Road and Taylor Avenue.
* Estimated cost $5.2 million; includes $2.9 million federal and $2.3 million city.
* Three-lane road with sidewalks. Bike lane connecting to Lost Bridge Trail recreation path between Rochester and Springfield.
* What�s next? Acquisition of 8 acres of undeveloped land this summer; construction beginning in early 2015 to take two years.

BEAUTY OP-ED | The new beauty fictionary
A term used for products that are supposed to mimic the wrinkle-banishing effect of Botox, as in fake Botox. No such thing exists (the Botox molecule is too big to penetrate the skin's surface.)
Trout Pout
Lip injections or inserts that make you look like a trout -- and patently ridiculous (Katie Price, Sarah Harding, Brittany Murphy, Meg Ryan, Goldie Hawn, Jessica Simpson, nearly all WAGs, Jodie Marsh, Lindsay Blo-han, Brit Brit, Leslie Ash, Megan Fox... more people (you too Pete Burns) than I could ever think to list in a single blog post.
So hungry you end up getting angry (Geddit? Hungry + angry = hangry). Not a desirable state but one in which many modern women perpetually live.
Pillow Face
Also know as The New New Face. It's the modern era's answer to the face lift. Actresses, models, women with too much money plump cheeks, under eyes, lips, etc. to mimic the fuller face more common in one's youth. Madonna et al.
When a woman looks like she's 16 from behind and 61 from the front. Highly confusing for randy teenage boys and creepy, old model chasers alike.
Pulling a Wildenstein
Having your face butchered so badly by plastic surgery/cosmetic injections you no longer resemble yourself... or any human being, for that matter. Hard to look at, like a solar eclipse.
Bingo Wings
The fleshy backside of the arm that waves, like a wing, when old ladies raise an arms and yell 'BINGO' in the bingo hall on a Friday night. Not the preserve of nans, bingo wing can be seen on any number of women/girls and increasingly men with un-toned arms.
A Monet
Someone who looks good at a distance and a mess up close.
The act of pursing one's lips into a wannabe pout (duck bill) for photos because one believes it looks sexy. A visual blight on social networking sites. Definitively un-sexy.
Being so fake tan that one looks orange, the color of Tango. Seemingly the default complexion colour of choice for far too many. Often paired with Duckface (see above) and a multitude of other beauty sins.
Bad breast implants that look as if they've been bolted onto one's chest, like a flesh-toned coconut bra. A staple among all the Real Houswives and other reality TV stars. Common among WAGs and emaciated models too.
Taxi Shoes
Heels so vertiginous they cause near paralysis when worn. The goal is to take as few steps as possible, usually from taxi door to table and back. Like Chinese foot bondage for the WAG set.
A wo/man who thinks (falsely) that by hanging out with more fashionable, attractive, well-connected people s/he is, by osmosis, the same. Often named in paparazzi shots as 'friend' if at all. Markedly frumpier than those to which s/he clings.
Bunny Lines
When someone (like one famous flame-haired Aussie who swears she's never *cough, cough* had anything done) has so much Botox that the only expression lines their faces can form are on the sides of the nose, resembling bunny whiskers. Often paired with strained neck muscles when attempting a smile. It often looks like they're making a cutesy nose-scrunchy face. That is just them trying to smile in earnest without the muscles to do it.
Frozen Face
The side effect of too much Botox, often seen with the above-mentioned Bunny Lines and results in a large, flat, shiny plane between frozen brows (see Kim Cattrall).
In Hollywood, doing something radically different -- usually with hair colour or cut -- to distract from some sort of nip-and-tuck, injection, etc. that's been done. See Sandra Bullock + bangs, Natalie Portman + shaved head, etc.
The universal term (and brand name) for all girdle-style undergarments that suck in everything from legs to bum, tummy and even bingo wings. Hard to pee while wearing them and have the dual purpose of making overeating impossible and sucking in your already-empty stomach (or other wobbly bit) for maximum smoothness. [editor's note: I will live in these post-childbirth if I ever have kids, at least for the first six months.]
Plastic Fantastic
Someone who's now more plastic than real. They often look okay, until you compare their Plastic Fantastic person to an image of the original. Think Kardashians (all), Kate Beckinsale, Liz Hurley, Megan Fox, Pamela Anderson et al.
Turkey Neck
When your neck skin starts to sag and wrinkle, like the waddle on a turkey.
Pulling a Brittany
Going crazy.
Extension Fatigue
When you chop off your hair because your perma-extensions are causing it to fall out. Often done under the ruse of becoming fashion forward/edgy. See Carey Mulligan, Brit Brit et al.
Detox Ditz
Girls who are so out-of-it because they're detoxing or juice fasting so much that their brains don't function.
Thick ankles that look as if your calves meet your feet without any ankle first. Very noticable when wearing flats.
Lollipop Head
When one's body is so emaciated their head that it actually looks like a big, round lollipop atop a stick.
A term popularized by recent flop Hall Pass. It's when a girl/guy of average or below average appearance surrounds herself/himself by even less attractive people to appear hot thanks the company between (that's the key word) which s/he has sandwiched herself/himself.
Man hips, as in womanly, child-bearing hips on a man. Much more frequently seen nowadays. Not always seen with Moobs (man boobs), but when the latter happens, the former is usually present as well. These dudes should see the above entry for Spanx and look into a Bro (man bra).
Add your own terms in the comments section if you fancy it!
Originally published by Jessica Teas at the brilliant LOOKING GOOD, NO MATTER WHAT. It's a cracking read by a bevvy of international beauty writers (moi included), so check it out!

BOSTON, Mass. – The MIT men's cross country team, ranked No. 12 in the country, swept the top three positions and placed five runners among the top eight positions, to earn the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) championship on Monday afternoon at Franklin Park. The Engineers have won every league crown since the establishment of the conference in 1998, a streak of 14-straight years.
Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) captured NEWMAC Runner of the Year honors crossing the finish first overall with a time of 25:28. Roy Wedge (Lawrence, Kan.) was second through the chute, just six seconds behind Harper. Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.) navigated the eight-kilometer course in 25:45, for third place.
Benjamin Mattocks (Sharon, Mass.) was two spots back, finishing in 26:10, to take fifth overall. Freshman Allen Leung (Arcadia, Calif.) was named NEWMAC Rookie of the Year, as the top first year finisher, completing the race in 26:26. Logan Trimble (Clearwater, Fla.) did not factor in MIT's team scoring but earned all-conference honors with his 13th-place result.
Tech's total of 19 points was enough to outlast runner-up Springfield College, which place four runners in the top ten for a score of 44 points.
The Cardinal and Gray will return to action in two weeks, competing at the New England Division III championship on Saturday, November 12. The Engineers will be looking to defend their regional title from 2010 at the meet, which will be held at Bowdoin College.

On the Stubbles blog, there's a new post that answers a question they'd mentioned in a previous post about why they develop the Stubbles framework.
In an earlier entry I promised that we will explain why we develop Stubbles. Well, there is a short version of it and a long version.
Short version: for us.
Read on for the long version.
He (Franke Kleine) lists out the reasons in his long version, including:
- Release cycles and maintenance requirements
- Why "use your force to improve another framework" is not a valid point
- Do we really reinvent the wheel?
- More company influence
- To open source or to not open source

Groups Press NJ Voters to Approve Minimum Wage
Advocates are pressing commuters is New Jersey to approve a constitutional amendment that would tie the state's minimum wage to an annual cost-of-living adjustment.
Representatives of the state's AFL-CIO union and Working Families United for New Jersey are distributing leaflets at major mass-transit hubs Monday.
The question on Tuesday's ballot would raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $8.25 per hour, with annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index.
Business owners say they'll be forced to lay off workers, cut employee hours or raise prices to compensate for having to pay a higher minimum wage. They also say they'd be hamstrung by the constitutional amendment if there is another economic recession.

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- The federal agency that oversees Medicaid and Medicare compliance has put Nevada on notice of "serious deficiencies" at a Las Vegas psychiatric hospital following reports of patients being improperly discharged.
A letter Thursday from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, first reported by The Sacramento Bee and obtained Friday by The Associated Press, gave Nevada 10 days to correct problems in its mental health discharge policies at Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital or risk the loss of federal funding, potentially tens of millions of dollars.
The move follows an investigation launched by the Bee after James F. Brown, a patient at Rawson-Neal, was put on a bus alone in February and sent on a 15-hour trip to Sacramento, Calif., where he knew no one. Brown suffers from schizophrenia and depression.
The newspaper then reviewed bus ticket receipts dating to 2008 and found the hospital, part of the Southern Nevada Ault Mental Health Services, had transported about 1,500 patients to other states. Roughly 500 went to California.
Last year alone, Rawson-Neal bused out patients at a pace of more than one per day, shipping nearly 400 patients to a total of 176 cities and 45 states across the country, the Bee reported.
City attorneys in Los Angeles and San Francisco this month launched their own criminal investigations into whether Nevada engaged in "patient dumping."
California state Sen. Darrell Steinberg, who also called for an investigation, said Nevada has put people at "grave risk" and he welcomed the intervention by the federal agency.
"People with mental health disorders can recover with access to prevention, early intervention and treatment," Steinberg, a Democrat, said in a statement Friday. He called Brown's treatment "tantamount to abuse," adding that the hospital and Nevada "must be held accountable by federal regulators."
Earlier this week, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said his administration launched three separate investigations after he learned of the Brown case. He said disciplinary actions were taken and a new policy was implemented to strengthen oversight. The state now requires two physicians instead of one to sign a discharge order for patients, and the decision must be approved by a hospital administrator.
The governor's office said Nevada will also require chaperones for all state psychiatric patients who are bused out of state.
"Let me be clear, improperly discharging one patient is one patient too many," Sandoval said this week.
Late Friday, Sandoval's office said measures Nevada has implemented will be filed with the federal agency as part of its response to remediate problems.
"Corrective action was taken immediately and the corrective action plan will be submitted to CMS next week," Mary-Sarah Kinner, Sandoval's communications director, said in an email.
The federal agency noted that if Nevada's efforts are sufficient, the hospital's status as being "deemed" to meet Medicare conditions of participation will be restored after a re-survey of practices.
In the meantime, the hospital can continue billing Medicare.

Nice post Shay...I will say L could have aslight advantage:
L should use his wit to Find Kira, I remember that the anime Initial D was said, that usually the one who is pursued is the one with the more pressure and thus prone to make mistakes, differently from the one who is the pursuer, this gives L and edge.
But then, Kira has the element of the unknow person and that that He is using supernatural powers to Kill.
EDIT...Wao this poll is so good that so far the votes are very tight

ok this is only through epi 2 but at this point L does have a slight advantage. He was able to conclude so many things just based off how Raito was killing ppl. I dont think Raito expected L to figure out he was in that specific area of Japan that easily.
But Raito is smart so it will definitely rotate who has the advantage
~cant wait til they get further into the series!!!~

Episode 3 for the most part really illustrates to us again the balance between both sides. Every time L uncovers another crucial piece of evidence and you think that he has gained the upper hand, you find out that Light was actually not as reckless as you originally thought. Each side seems able to anticipate the other side's actions, making it difficult to tell who is really chasing whom. Each side has an edge in this truly masterful duel, and either one can convince you that they'll be the one that ultimately ends up on top.
Spoiler for episode 3 ending:

I think its safe to say Light has the upper hand.
I mean, he's been taking a very direct approach to his killing spree. The book allows him to attribute someone's death however he sees fit, however. As long as he can get a little more creative, he can really throw in a few twists...For example, what's there to say when criminals start killing eachother/killing themselves, freak accidents occur, etc...
Also, all he has to do is destroy the book when times get desperate and poof, no evidence...
As for my own commentary...it was incredibly stupid to try and attack L. Not only was it exactly what was expected, but it lowered him to maniacal killer from righteous killer. L didn't deserve to die...Light should have taken the high road, as he claims to be doing...
EDIT: more post commentary...why doesnt he see the goodness that can come from the death note? if he can attribute death however he feels like, why doesnt he just write his own name and say "will die in 100 years naturally in sleep"...problem solved?

As of episode 3 L has the upperhand, and is a good length ahead of Light. I mean, he has a list of only 141 families that contain the possible suspect. With enough time he can find that light is the culprit...however, if light goes ahead and gets the death god eyes, that will shift the balance some. Though L knows that the name and face are required, it wouldnt take long to figure out that only face is required with the eyes. All in all I guess Lights situtation doesnt change too much, other then he can take out his tail. Which it seems like he may do that, and if he does take out his tail, then L will know it was him.

Light has the upper hand on ep2, while on ep3 L gets it... well, L;s theory was right that Kira(Light) is in kantou & again guessed that Kira could kill w/o laying a single finger on them, L's investigation is superb... If Light would get hold of those shinigami eyes... well....
I could say they are equal for now...

Raito has absolutely no lead no clue about L & if he does not reveal HIMSELF (by himself, sounds weird >.< ) then there is no way he Raito can find him.
L, on the other hand, has already narrowed to the country--> region & possible people who can have close contact with Kira. + L is already guessing that Raito can't really kill people he cant see (by asking to check records of dead criminals)
it would be very hard to ACTUALLy catch Kira with evidence though. damn, its hard to talk or even evaluate, since I've read the manga

After watching episode two, I was immediately favoring L in their conflict. The moment that L showed up on the television, I knew that the worst thing that Light could possibly do was kill him, and that he would do exactly that.
Light's ambition is to become a god, correct? There is one thing that all gods need, and that is followers. Light has followers because he is taking out criminals. When Faux L went up on the screen, he stated that he worked for the law. Light should have known that killing Faux L would have taken away from a resource that he would almost definitely need later. This poor thought on Light's part shows that he isn't thinking far enough in the future. If this doesn't change, Light is going to be at a disadvantage throughout this conflict.
On the other hand, L showed off his cunning strategy and high quality deduction skills. He made Light divulge a lot of information without giving away much himself. It may have been a better move to allow Light to believe that he had truly defeated L, but based off of the rest of his performance in this episode I am inclined to believe that he has a reason for it.
So really, after the second episode Light has made an error that caused him to lose followers, and to have his location revealed to L. With that combined with L's logical abilities, it seems that L has the upper hand at the end of episode two.
*heads off to watch ep3*

Whao! Light just stepped up a gear.
He is quickly becoming a master of the deathnote. He is using it to perfection. Just like Ryuk said, he is a more worthy Shinigami than most actual Shingami's.
However, did he take it too far? It seems just going on the date was sufficient for, Ray Penbar to strike him off the list. Surely L will see all this commotion as more than just a coincidence.
Or will Ray even get to make a report, now that Light knows his name? If Light kills Ray too soon it will be all L needs... No. Light is too clever for that. He will probably wait until Ray is following someone else, then kill him.
I love this anime.
Edit: lol Light has taken the lead! Could it be any closer!/

I think L has the upper hand since Light stills do not know who L is and where L is etc. However, L already narrow Kira down to 150ish households.
So pretty much like most mentioned, L has way more info on who might kira be and what kira could do.

From episode 3;
I feel that Light is giving too much of himself away. Just killing one criminal an hour tells L. more about his ability: namely, that he can kill criminals at any time he dictates.
Also, and worse IMO, Light reveals indirectly to L. that he has a link to the police - of course, that may have been what Light wanted, but you can see from his assumption (of what L. would do, investigate the police etc etc.) that Light is getting too full of himself. He directly assumes what he thinks L. will do to be what L. will do, and he believes the assumed outcome/consequence of what L. will do to be true. So I think that that overconfidence, along with his rashness, will bring about Light's downfall.
L. on the other hand stays in the shadows, revealing nothing about himself or the way he works. I think, from first impressions that L. has the upperhand.
(lol tie-break!)

Kira has the upper hand even though L basically has eniter country looking for him. But the biggest problem I feel is this. It feels like L just pulls his theries right out of his ass! I mean how could L even begin to think that L is a student. We know this because the series fallows Kiras side of the story fr the most part. There is no way to know that Kira is a student from the evidence the police have gathered.

Former Champions
June 20 @ Orton's
Though this Richmond, Virginia band has performed at big music showcases like Floydfest and toured with a number of jam bands, Former Champions' sound not only falls outside the jam band genre it's also a spacey, groovy affair. A mix of soft and electronic rock with a danceable, electro sound, it's like Roxy Music by way of Phish.

California punk band that formed in 1988 and whose sardonic and in-your-face lyrics have brought them trouble. Outspoken political views led to being asked to vacate the 2004 Warped Tour. The band's lead singer Mark Adkins once dubbed Guttermouth "the greatest accident that ever happened." Twenty years on the band still plays defiantly aggressive music, showing that rock music doesn't have to get old or complacent with age.

Two Winston-Salem bands perform caustic indie rock. Motorist is melodic with a large sound. Its combines punk and hard rock with vocals leaning affectionately towards to early 80's bands like Killing Joke. Wolves & Wolves & Wolves & Wolves is rawer, more guttural rock and roll thick with shredded vocal chords, spastic drumming and lively guitar rock.

Brooklyn duo whose pretty music could be described as minimalist in creation but in effect bears a sizable, ambient presence.

Marine geochemist Scott Doney and marine policy specialist Porter Hoagland traveled to the nation's capital this spring to inform Congress about critical ocean issues: the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on living marine resources and issues sur-rounding the siting of wind power in the ocean.
"Climate change and acidification trends will accelerate over the next several decades unless there is deliberate action to curb greenhouse emissions," Doney said in his written testimony in May to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation's Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries, and Coast Guard. "Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate change produce upper-ocean warming, sea-ice retreat, sea-level rise, ocean acidification, altered freshwater distributions, and maybe even stronger storms.
"... Further pressure will be put on living marine resources, such as fisheries and coral reefs that we depend upon for food, tourism, and other economic and aesthetic benefits. We have an opportunity now to limit the negative impact of climate change and acidification in the future."
In April, Porter Hoagland testified before a joint hearing of the U.S House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife and Oceans and Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources Committee on Natural Resources.
In his written testimony, he said, "Like good cropland, ocean space with the right qualities (for wind farming) may be a scarce natu-ral resource. As a consequence, ocean space useful for wind farming or other renewable energy production may have economic value. Further, ocean space may have value for other human uses, including commercial fishing, marine aquaculture, recreation, environmental conservation, shipping, among many others.
"... There is no private market for ocean space. Specialized institutions must be devised, if they do not yet exist, for allocating ocean space for renewable energy development. The existence of institutions to establish legal interests in ocean space and to provide a means for enforcement against any infringement of these interests is critical."

Our red metal is Pure Copper. It is free of lead, mercury or other contaminants that are common in industrial grade copper wires. Copper is one of the friendliest elements as it combines with many others. To find copper this pure in nature is far more difficult than finding pure gold. Science has already proven that copper is essential for our health and is absorbed through the skin, so besides their beauty, our bracelets can also be considered a time-release source of an essential mineral. For more information see Copper Benefits.
Our bracelets are made to be worn at all times and everywhere. We finish them with a thin layer of organic lacquer meant to wear off unnoticeably with use. If you wish to have immediate metal contact, simply wipe the inside of a bracelet with nail polish remover. All the metals we use are solid, with no platting to wear off, therefore any scratch or blemish can be easily removed with a polishing cloth, brass polish, or by rubbing with a lemon rind and ashes. The easiest way to keep our bracelets clean is by taking showers with them on. With this minimal care they should age gracefully with you and last for generations.

Heroin use on Cherry Creek trail
Re: "Colorado ski towns see rise in heroin deaths and abuse," Feb. 4 news story.
Your front-page article focused on the increasing use of heroin in resort towns. My husband and I are very alarmed about the increased use of heroin on the Cherry Creek bike trail between Colfax Avenue and Lawrence Street. We walk the trail twice daily, and it is not unusual to see one or more young people openly shooting up along the way.
The dealers and users don't seem bothered by the pedestrian traffic, and although we have seen a few of them being arrested, that threat does not seem to scare them away. I expect these are the "small-time" dealers, and the "big-money" suppliers are less visible. We hope the police are working on getting to the source of the supply. It is really sad to see this happening so blatantly.
