What Do People Want?By Patrick Archbold
So what is it that people hope will happen? What is it that YOU hope will happen?
Do think that Novus Ordo will be reformed to be more in line with Tradition? Will the two forms of the Rite eventually become one? Will the reforms called for by the council be applied to the Gregorian Rite resulting in a Reformed Gregorian Rite along side the Novus Ordo? Does the status quo of a more available Traditional Mass along side the use and abuse of the Novus Ordo continue for generations to come?
Tell us what you think? How will it play out? How do you hope it will play out? I know what I think, but what do you think? Let's hear it.

I converted to Catholicism in 1982, having been a High Church Anglican.
In the ensuing years, unless I was at a Novus Ordo Mass in Latin, or a Uniate Rite Liturgy, I rarely felt a nice sense of ritual or as if I had really worshipped.
A few months ago I was at a Novus Ordo Mass celebrated with Gregorian chant, incense, Eucaristic Prayer 1, and according to all the rubircs. And to be quite honest, I don't even remeber which way the priest faced.
But it was lovely, plenty of ritual and sense of the Holy. It's almost all there, even in the Novus Ordo, but people just need to do it properly, and I'd like to see that being the norm, not the poorly done Masses and improperly trained servers we see these days.

I believe this will be the case.
My hope, though, is that the Novus Ordo Missae will die off and the faitful, by the Grace of God will recognize the superiority of the Gregorian Rite and assist at it with deep devotion.

The Novus Ordo Missae offered reverently is still a fabricated Mass that does not adequately give the best adoration to the Almighty.
The Gregorian Rite is much more pleasing to the Almighty, since it soundly and with great orthodoxy represents the Sacrifice of Calvary.
After all the Mass is not about what we get out of it, or how it makes us feel, but rather are we adoring God in the best way that we can, and that is in the Traditional Mass.

"Will the two forms of the Rite eventually become one?"
In a manner of speaking, yes. But to understand that, is to go beyond thinking of the "Roman Rite" as merely one set of books versus another (including the question of whether one "dies off" to the benefit of the other). More than ten years ago, I wrote of a "Dichotomy/Convergence Scenario," which I will attempt to explain in brief here -- which hardly does it justice, nevertheless...
Any cultural tradition, by its essential nature, is composed of two components in a dynamic tension. We might refer to them as "roots" and "branches." Tradition does not stay the same, but evolves, at the same time never losing sight of its origins. For the fifteen centuries of a discernible Roman Rite, these components have co-existed, one being unable to exist without the other. The years following the Second Vatican Council have seen an artificial dichotomy between the two, thus our tradition developed what might be called a "split personality."
What happened to these two forces then? The roots had to be kept "preserved in amber," so to speak, in order to maintain their integrity. Thus it is that any changes to the Traditional Mass would understandably be met with reticence. The branches lost any sense of their origins, and by extension, any clarity and coherence. Thus we have an official liturgical reform that has lost any true sense of its heritage, rendering it doomed from the start.
Eventually, through a major event or series of major events, these two components of our living tradition must eventually converge, in order to become whole again. Some have referred to this as a "reform of the reform" of the liturgy (including Pope Benedict himself, lest we forget). How that convergence would appear is a matter of conjecture, and another matter entirely, but the scenario itself, I submit, is what eventually must happen.

As another convert, I want The Mass back. The Mass, not the kitschy-guitar drivel that would disgrace Fisher-Price. A friend recently gave me a copy of the Baronius 1962 Roman Missal, recently reprinted, and I realized that the Faithful have been deprived of real liturgy for a generation.

One of three things will happen:
1. The Novus Ordo will prevail, with some tweaking after its exposure to the Gregorian Rite. The Gregorian Rite will be available here and there, as it is now. Somewhat likely.
2. The Gregorian Rite will prevail and the Novus Ordo will die out over time. Very unlikely.
3. The Gregorian Rite and the Novus Ordo will eventually converge, with a united calendar, some vernacular, and it will look and feel like a pre-Vatican II liturgy. Most likely scenario.

The attempt to create a "hybrid mass," i.e., the convergence of the Gregorian Rite and the Novus Ordo, will continue for another decade or two, out of a sense of loyalty to both the (false) "spirit of VII" as well as to its language on reforming the liturgy. As long as sons of VII continue to lead the Church, the Novus Ordo will continue to exist, and any efforts at true reform of the Novus Ordo will fail. I suspect our current Pope envisions just such a "hybrid mass" as a given, but I do not believe that is what God intends for His Church.
With the passing of the sons of VII, the Novus Ordo too will pass. It will be seen as an abject failure, an embarrassment, and subsequent generations will look at its failure and be loathe to change the Gregorian Rite in any way whatsoever that may be deemed inorganic.
Of course, all this will occur in the context of the smaller, purer Church that our current Pope has foreseen.

How do you reach this conclusion? More to the point, how do you reconcile it with the fact that an ecumenical council managed to render an opinion on some kind of reform of the liturgy?

As far back as 1982, Cardinal Ratzinger spoke about this "hybrid mass." (I used to have a link to the quote, but can no longer find it.) Look at all the "interventions" so far by PCED. Not one has been aimed at preserving the Gregorian Rite from post-VII innovations. They have ALL been aimed at introducing post-VII innovations. I see these moves as attempting to hybridize the Gregorian Rite.
As far as the "reform of the reform," look at the most recent headlines: "Vatican approves alternatives for 'Ite Missa Est'"
Why in the name of all that is Holy, when the Novus Ordo is so desperately in need of true reform and elimination of so many awful "options," would the Vatican approve MORE silly options?!?
Finally, the best known intervention to date was the Good Friday Prayer fiasco. When the Novus Ordo is so desperately in need of true reform, why change the Gregorian Rite?
I am a bit cynical. I don't see evidence of any true renewal in the Novus Ordo, and I see too much evidence of attempts to hybridize the Gregorian Rite.

That being said, are they without merit? And if they are without merit, are you suggesting that the Second Vatican Council be completely ignored with respect to any possible (and inevitable) "organic development" in the Roman Rite?
I'm not using this occasion to argue the merits or detriments of recent proposals for the reformed missal. That a proponent of the Traditional Mass might insist on its being "preserved in amber" in order to maintain its integrity, is precisely the point I was attempting to make. You have essentially helped me to prove that point.

Here's one of the quotes I was thinking of regarding a "hybrid mass," from a Letter of Cardinal Ratzinger to Dr. Heinz-Lothar Barth, dated 23 June 2003:
"I believe, though, that in the long term the Roman Church must have again a single Roman rite. The existence of two official rites is for bishops and priests difficult to "manage" in practice. The Roman rite of the future should be a single rite, celebrated in Latin or in the vernacular, but standing completely in the tradition of the rite that has been handed down. It could take up some new elements which have proven themselves, like new feasts, some new prefaces in the Mass, an expanded lectionary - more choice than earlier, but not too much, - an "oratio fidelium", i.e., a fixed litany of intercessions following the Oremus before the offertory where it had its place earlier."
We need to analyze VII again, and recall what exactly it recommended for liturgical reform, before we bandy about charges of desiring a liturgy stuck in amber.
Furthermore, up to now the post-VII Church has proven itself incapable of prudent, organic reform of the liturgy. Therefore, the Gregorian Rite should be preserved from arbitrary changes for at least a decade or two, until the Church has proven itself able to resume prudent and organic liturgical development.
- October 20, 2008 3:01 PM
- Brian Kopp said...
"are you suggesting that the Second Vatican Council be completely ignored with respect to any possible (and inevitable) "organic development" in the Roman Rite?"
I'm simply suggesting a moratorium on "organic development" in the Gregorian Rite until the Novus Ordo approaches something resembling what VII prescribed.
Until then, the Church has no business reforming the Gregorian Rite.

"We need to analyze VII again, and recall what exactly it recommended for liturgical reform, before we bandy about charges of desiring a liturgy stuck in amber."
Agreed on the first part, but in the interim, the natural inclination is toward the complementary characteristics of a living tradition, to operate in a vacuum, unless they are again in a state of co-existence.
If this doesn't make sense, I'll use an example out of science fiction. Click here.
Try not to read too much into it.

If ecumenical councils were to be judged that way, Florence would have been a failure because it did not reconcile us with the Orthodox. Vatican I was also a failure, by your definition, as one of its "fruits" was the Old Catholic schism. And if the Council was misapplied or misinterpreted, it is not the fruits of the Council to which we are witness.

I agree with Dr. Kopp about placing a moratorium on changing the Tridentine Rite and would further call for a thorough re-examination of VCII in its totality. The precedent of questioning Roma locuta est, causa finita est has been set by the fathers and now sons of VCII itself.
As Cardinal Koenig, architect of the JPII papacy and key VCII Rhine leader pronounced:
… people give too much importance to the fringes [the radicals] that tried to push ahead, and forget the authentic progress Vatican II produced. In the Church this progress took place primarily through the acknowledgment of the positive aspects of history, the sciences, and the arts - in short, those human categories that less than 100 years earlier the Syllabus had rejected and only 48 years before [the Encyclical] Pascendi had again condemned.
None other than Cardinal Ratzinger declared:
"If one is looking for a global diagnosis of the text [of Gaudium et spes], one could say that it (along with the texts on religious liberty and world religions) is a revision of the Syllabus of Pius IX, a kind of counter-Syllabus ...."
"Let us content ourselves here with stating that the text [of Gaudium et spes] plays the role of a counter-Syllabus to the measure that it represents an attempt to officially reconcile the Church with the world as it had become after 1789. On one hand, this visualization alone clarifies the ghetto complex that we mentioned before. On the other hand, it permits us to understand the meaning of this new relationship between the Church and the Modern World. "World" is understood here, at depth, as the spirit of modern times. The consciousness of being a detached group that existed in the Church viewed this spirit as something separate from herself and, after the hot as well as cold wars were over, she sought dialogue and cooperation with it."
This dialogue deemed the Virgin Mary as problematic and, at its core, the zeitgeist demanded the elimination of Sacred Tradition as a source of revelation and the boys from the Rhineland sought to achieve this as a primary objective. Although they were not successful in achieving its official elimination they have supplanted a new paradigm in its stead. They call it "Living Tradition" which should never be confused with anything organic, it is a contrivance.
Their blitzkrieg worked to perfection in that it deceived the enemy, controlled the air-waves, broke through, struck deep and what we are now witnessing in the last phase – followed up. The classic response and only means of defeating a blitzkrieg is to counterattack focusing on the flanks and expose and infiltrate their extended logistical lines of support. Make no mistake, this is war.
SSPX is the Bastogne of this modern day Battle of the Bulge, threatening their logistics, and that is why the post-VCII administrations are so sensitive to any utterance or action be they legitimate or preposterous. VCII has become more important than the faith itself and woe to those who don't pledge their allegiance to this "pastoral" council in and of itself. Bishop Fellay has basically said: "Nuts" to this German and once again they are none too pleased.
Jn 15:18 – If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you. Do we dialogue and compromise or have patience, provide a witness and thereby convert? I'll rely on my Polish grandmother rather than a German Pope on this one – but I am patient and I do hold out hope for him.

As a convert now of 7.5 years I feel I'd like to see a Novus Ordo said well each Sunday. Or at all. In all that time, even surrounded by the best preists in our country, I think I have seen a Novus Ordo done to Vatican II specifications only once!
That is, all set parts in the Latin, some prayers (which change week to week) allowed in English, with reverent and excellent music and hymns with suitable silences.
Even the excellent preaching of my current priest can't drown out the horrid 70s scratching of the wannabe Woodstockers.

With so much talk about changing this and changing that, reforming this book and reforming that book, there seems to be little talk about the "reform" of the clergy and the "reform" of the faithful. These "reforms" will be the foundation of any real liturgical reform. The question is a good one: What do People Want? When people again need authentic and profound worship, they will WANT authentic and profound liturgy. At that time, the question of NO vs. EF will be meaningless as the church will again worship in the way that God intends. We see the beginnings of this in the gradual changes in the younger clergy... it will spread but it will take TIME and lots of it.
I agree with the above comment, however, that the most likely immediate scenario is a dying out of the "Spirit of Vatican II" crowd followed by a reworking of the NO liturgy to follow the actual directives of VII. How long... only God knows!

Chironomo writes, "The question is a good one: What do People Want? When people again need authentic and profound worship, they will WANT authentic and profound liturgy."
I think the idea of worship following what the people want is a major cause of our liturgical problems as well as other problems in the Church. The authority to govern does not come from the people, it comes from God. I think government of the people by the people has always been a terrible idea. Government of the Mass by the people is even worse.
This is the main problem with our current situation. We have now given people a choice, and it seems the long-term success or failure of the TLM will depend on how many people "vote" for it. Whereas before, the TLM *was* the mass. If you wanted to obey the Church's precept to attend mass, you attended the TLM. Now the TLM is made available only when requested. When Summorum pontificum was issued you had bishops talking about how little "demand" there was likely to be. We've adopted a a free-market system.
The introduction of the NO coincided with the introduction of the idea of "liturgy of the people by the people and for the people". People were given the idea that they could have anything they wanted: Folk music, rock music, OK maybe some classical now and then. Whatever they might happen to find "relevant", that's what we'll give them.
The tragedy of V2 is that it's unlikely this genie can now be stuffed back into the bottle.
So to answer the question: What I *want* is for the NO to be scrapped, and the TLM to be revised according to the strict provisions of V2 (although unfortunately some of them were rather vague -- but was it misfortune as opposed to design?). Do nothing except what is specifically provided for in the text. If the text doesn't provide for a specific revision, ignore it. Primarily, Latin preserved and Gregorian chant given pride of place.
But what I *expect* is continued liturgy of the people by the people for the people. The bishops have neither the backbone nor the conviction to oppose their wishes. Of course we never know which way the Spirit might blow in the future. But that's in God's hands, I can only predict based on what I see around me.
By the way, the comments have been quite interesting and informative, thanks to everyone.

The "discussion" to which you refer started about ten years ago. At the time, Cardinal Ratzinger had read a proposal written by Father Brian Harrison, of what the Mass would have looked like had Sacrosanctum Concilium been scrupulously followed. The cardinal pronounced it worthy of further study. It inspired the "reform of the reform" movement, as well as the organization known as "Adoremus."

Perhaps you misunderstood me, or I didn't set my statement in an appropriate context. I would TOTALLY agree with you that the basis for liturgy (and reform) is what the CHURCH wants and not what the people want. My point was that there needs to be a sort of redirecting of "the people" such that they desire what the church wants. I fear that otherwise there is a great risk of yet a greater widening of the rift that progressive liturgy has caused. I apologize that I don't always capture what I'm thinking too clearly!

Havig just read Dom Alcuin Reid's book on the Organic Development of the Liturgy, some things have become much clearer. The NO Mass is clearly a break with tradition, just as the Quignonez Breviary, the revised neo-classical hymns in the breviary, the psalter of St. Pius X, and other changes; but the NO is on an unimaginable scale. The previous two were finally gotten rid of (the latter after centuries, and still not if you do the 1962 Breviary) and the unwieldy psalter of Pius X is with us still if you do the 1962. I believe the traditional Gregorian mass with lectionary will finally be restored as the standard of worship for all Catholics of the Roman Rite, as IT IS the Roman Rite, except in a very dubious positive law. However, some of the changes and additions that have occurred with the NO will be incoporated in the framework the the Roman Rite, proving themselves as legitimate developments of the tradition, and some things, such as some of the new prefaces will be seen to be real treasures. However, for those who remain and continue as Roman Catholics, the Gregorian liturgy will be restored as an objective part of the Tradition. It cannot be otherwise, as a subjective and changeable product such as the NO Mass simply has not the power to inculcate the faith and ascetical life needed to be a Christian. Those who manage to get and keep the faith nowadays seem to do so in spite of the official liturgy, and turn to devotions or other means to provide that which the liturgy is supposed to provide, or import as much as they can from the tradition to supplement a liturgy whose texts are too often weak, insipid, and lacking in spiritual power. Only the faith once delivered ("traditioned") offers any hope: and as the Holy Father has pointed out in his Spirit of the Liturgy, the liturgical tradition is both part of that deposit and the means of its transmission.

Pedes Christi:
Excellent post.
You write, "The NO Mass is clearly a break with tradition . . . but . . . on an unimaginable scale."
I learned this for myself from reading Michael Davies' Liturgical Revolution trilogy. He also has some good talks available on keepthefaith.org on this subject, especially the one on the development of the mass.
It's just frightening how fast the Church has become "de-traditioned".

I think most people posting here, and almost everyone I've read in regards to liturgical form and organic development, have a tendency to see the liturgy divorced from it's historical context. Those who criticize the novus ordo are more apt to point to its historical context, the confusion of the post-Vatican II Church, the social pressures of the post-WWII, and the social and moral revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s in the Western World. However, they rarely do the same for the TLM, and rarely consider that present social and cultural influences will play a role in the post-Summorum Pontificum Church.
Further liturgical development will take place in the context of a Western world that is quickly evolving as secularist and even anti-Christian. We have already seen the Church contract and then give ground in this larger cultural war, with her princes conceding many points of doctrine in order to appease the increasingly anti-Christian nature of Western society. We are now seeing much of the opposite in the last years of JPII's pontificate, and now in the pontificate of Benedict XVI. I think there is a crucial relationship between Summorum Pontificum and the current pontiff's efforts to point out the Christian roots of Europe. We see in Benedict XVI a man not willing to concede points of doctrine to the secularists. This has its influence on the liturgy, which we see in more traditional pontifical novus ordo celebrations.
As the Church continues to contract, in a good way, in order to insulate the deposit of faith from the godless Western society, there will be an ever greater move toward traditional worship. The Extraordinary Form will continue to grow among those intensely loyal to Christ's teachings preserved by the Church in union with the pope.
Conversely, those who are secularists in the Church will gravitate, with ever greater vengeance, toward nontraditional forms of worship. They will move the novus ordo within their circles, which will probably be more populace circles, especially in the US, further away from tradition. We will probably eventually see a split between a church approved of by the secularist society, the primary form of worship being an extremely liberal form of the novus ordo, and the true Church in union with the Holy Father, marked by the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite and extremely traditional forms of the novus ordo in area were the social dichotomies aren't as prevalent.

...stumbled across this discussion in my ramblings, and couldn't resist a comment.....
Bear in mind, that the notions expressed are those of a traditionalist, conservative, "Anglo-Catholic" (whatever that means anymore). I've watched "Anglicanism" implode, having been born in '60, starting with the destruction of the Prayer Book, and then extending ad-nauseum to everything else. Funny, but there's a parallel there between what happened in Anglican circles and post VII liturgics. So, here I am, watching from the sidelines, reading these various blogs, publications, and groups, watching EWTN, having attended both Novus Ordo and Tridentine serivces, trying to make some rational sense of it all..........
Point #1: Church camp was fun for a week.....NOT year 'round...thusly for Novus Ordo, et al.
Point #2: One is directed to "pray the mass", or "assist at mass".......wonderful thoughts and words, save for when the priest is rattling on in rapid-fire Latin, which, truth be told, the vast majority of us are clueless about, save for the "silent Latin parts" where one is on ones knees waiting for the bell to ring. (So, then we're reading other prayers and kinda tryin' to guess where he is in the scheme of things...)
Point #3: The Schizophrenic Mass (as seen daily on EWTN), where we start praying in the vernacular, non-majestic, non-uplifting, non-inspiring "English", and, just when we're about to get up a head of steam, BAM, here comes the Latin....."wait a minute...weren't we just doin' that English thing?" And, so it goes, back and forth, in serious need of medication.
Point #4: Shocking as it may seem, all those old Latin Missals had English translations on the facing pages....the King's English...the sort that wasn't afraid to "ascribe to the Lord the Honour due His Name"...And, even MORE shocking, prior to the mid-60's, people still understood what was being said, read, and/or prayed.
So, the real mystery is: How is it that, magically, overnight, in the "twinkling of an eye", an entire population suddenly got really dumb??? WE DIDN'T !!!
Folks, all we really want is to feel that we've a path to follow to "attain to a nature more akin to the divine". One of the tools to assist in this HAS to be reverent, uplifting, majestic language and liturgy. And the liturgy doesn't even have to always be shrouded in smoke and bells. How can this be so difficult for everyone outside of "John and Mary Catholic" to get?? You have the prayer books, and the language........USE THEM !
"May the Peace of the Lord be always with you.....and with thy Spirit" Amen.

To be honest, if the Novus Ordo returned more to a traditional style, I would really have no problem. What I would personally like to see happen is the use of the new mass with Gregorian chant, incense, Latin as a universal language, and a stress on the ancient teachings the Church has held.
I don't really think a combination of the new mass and the traditional mass would be a good idea. What I want is the novus ordo to at least be more traditional with the things said above, along with the tridentine mass readily available next to it.

I gravitated to Pedes Christi's post. There is a lot of wisdom there. None of this will be rectified in short order. First, our priests must all become fluent in Latin. Next, much of the laity must know some Latin (at least enough to know where one is in the Mass). This will take time and willingness. The second will not come easily. I don't honestly believe that there will ever be a convergence of the two Masses, unless everything about that Novus Ordo which did not develop organically is jettisoned. That will be a starting place for any further discussion. That is the bottom line, I think.

I am often reminded when talking with friends and coworkers that most people don't understand the important of low fees when it comes to investing. The Vanguard blog had a recent post exploring why a 1% expense ratio is much more significant than it appears. The problem is that expense ratios aren't charged to you directly as a line item like an overdraft fee or a monthly bill – it is quietly taken away in tiny pieces from your returns which makes it easy to ignore.
For another, fees are expressed as a fraction of assets. A 1% equity management fee seems small and reasonable. "One percent" just sounds tiny – as in "there's a 1% chance of rain tomorrow." But suppose you reframe fees in other terms. Suppose you expect a stock fund to earn 8% over the long run. Assuming inflation of 3% and a tax rate of 25%, you're in effect paying one out of every three dollars of future expected return in costs.* A fee of "one third of all of the money you make" sounds like a lot, especially when many money managers could do worse than the market averages.
Basically, if you are expecting to earn 3% a year above inflation after taxes, paying 1% to a manager is like paying 1/3rd of all your earnings. As you can see below, I could own the S&P 500 for as little as 0.05%. Things get even worse when looking at bond funds and their tiny yields.
Research has shown repeatedly that costs matter more than star ratings and past performance. The lower the expenses, the less headwind year in and year out.
With that knowledge, Vanguard has announced another round of fee cuts! Vanguard says the price drops are a result of them being client-owned and passing on any savings resulting from increased assets. Others speculate that it's a reaction to competition from other low-cost ETF providers like Schwab. Either way, investors win. The drops are pretty small, but to me it's like getting a little guaranteed boost in returns that will compound every year. A selected sample of funds with fee drops below:
|Funds In My Personal Portfolio
|Old expense ratio
|New expense ratio
|Vanguard 500 Index Fund (Admiral/ETF Shares)
|Vanguard Total Stock Market (Admiral/ETF)
|Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund (ETF)
|Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund (Investor)
|Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund (Admiral/ETF)
|Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund (Investor)
Admiral shares are now open in most index funds with a $10,000 investment, and you can always start like I did with the Investor shares at $3,000 and convert to Admiral when the balances grow. ETFs usually offer the same low expense ratios as Admiral shares, but you should also keep in mind the cost of trade commissions. Buying Vanguard ETFs and mutual funds directly with an account with Vanguard is free. TD Ameritrade also offers commission-free trades on a wide variety of Vanguard ETFs (along with other providers).
Over the last year or so, Vanguard has made several moves that lowered my portfolio costs. They added Admiral shares, removed purchase fees on their Emerging Markets fund, and dropped expense ratios again.

Suzanne and I had lunch at Pie Lab in Greensboro today. Very cool place. Laid-back and comfortable. Good food. Interesting people. Fun. Definitely worth the trip to Greensboro. While you are there, visit the second hand store, the two hardware stores (especially Sledge's), the furniture/home furnishing store, and the library.
Pie Lab had several types of sweet and savory pies, we tried four and shared.
First we had quiche with sausage and peppers and mozzarella cheese. Kind of like an Italian sandwich, but pie. Pretty good.
Then taco pie. Ground beef, Rotel, refried beans and cheddar cheese. A bit messy but absolutely outstanding.
Then coconut cream pie. The flour-to-egg ratio was a bit high for me, but it was still very very good and we ate every last crumb.
Finally apple turnovers, which were like small fried apple pies, but they were baked. Great filling-to-crust ratio. The crust was flaky but held together. And there was not too much sugar in the fresh apple filling. Perfect!
So what's for lunch tomorrow at Mary's Cakes & Pastries?
Taco Pie, but we'll make the shell with corn tortillas, and use whole kidney and black beans instead of refried pintos.
Should be delicious.

The participating Chinese delegation includes 10 Shandong-based firms specialised in software and cloud computing, construction materials, exports-imports, steel pipes, valve, electrical equipment, farm produce, solar power, crane, mechanical engineering, automobile and motorbike spare parts.
Speaking at the event, Vice President of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) Doan Duy Khuong said since 2004, China has become Vietnam's largest trade partner. It is also the largest importer of computers and spare parts, natural rubber, coal and rice from the Southeast Asian nation.
Deputy head of the Ministry of Planning and Investment's Foreign Investment Agency Dang Xuan Quang proposed encouraging Chinese investors, especially those in Shandong, to pour more into support industry, electricity and electronics, and consumer goods using modern and eco-friendly technology in Vietnam.
Vietnam eyes attracting private investment in key projects in road and railway transport, and urban infrastructure in the form of public-private partnership, he said, adding that the country will continue issuing policies to develop renewable energy and stand ready to offer all possible support to investors in the field.
Vice President of the Shandong provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Zhai Lu Ning, expressed hope that more win-win business opportunities will be open up following the event.
Statistics showed that two-way trade between Vietnam and China hit 71.9 billion USD last year, up 8 percent annually. Of the figure, 21.97 billion USD was Vietnam's exports, marking a 28.4 percent rise. Trade deficit reached 27.96 billion USD, down 13.67 percent.
As of May, the bilateral trade surged 23.6 percent to 32.7 billion USD, 10.6 billion USD of which was Vietnam's exports, up 41.9 percent, while imports went up 16.4 percent.
China was the eighth largest investor out of 119 countries and territories investing in Vietnam with 1,683 projects worth 11.6 billion USD, mostly in manufacturing industry, energy, real estate, garment, electronics, and services.-VNA

The final score (Inter 3 – Palermo 1) did not reflect the action in the game; certainly not the way the UEFA Champions League championship game did. Palermo certainly looked the better side during this match. They were simply unable to capitalize on their chances. Inter, on the other hand, were clinical scoring quickly when the opportunity presented itself.
The officiating was fair, though there was a missed call that set Palermo up with a corner that led to their only goal.
I'm really happy for Inter. It's been a fun year – my first following the club. Hoping for a good transfer window ahead of another great year this fall!

Haiti - Social : Stampede of thousands of illegal Haitians in Chile
15/08/2016 11:10:39
Out of 41,065 Haitians who entered the country during the last three years on a tourist visa for 90 days, only 4,404 have returned to the country of origin. This means that 89% remained illegally without renewing their tourist visa, says PDI, which underlines that 110 Haitians arrive on average every day in Chilean territory.
The majority of Haitians trying to escape political and economic crisis affecting Haiti and are attracted by the stability of the economy and employment in Chile, says a report of the civilian police. These illegal Haitian migrants see Chile as a country of new opportunities after their disappointments in Brazil the last 3 years...
"Haitians migrating to Chile because the country has one of the most stable economies in Latin America, there are job opportunities and a small Haitian community already installed," said Benito Baranda, President of the NGO Solidarity America.
The majority of Haitians have settled in northern Santiago, working mainly in construction, many of them are irregular migratory situation, according to the Chilean Ministry of Immigration.

Life took me to Asheville, North Carolina last week, and I found it a pretty nice place. Lots of street musicians, purple comedy buses (Lazoom, Lazoom!), pet dogs, excellent restaurants. H wanted to get up close and personal with the public drummers who form a massive circle in a downtown park on Fridays. I said, "Sure thing, let me know where and when to meet you afterwards," because even at a distance of a mile it sounded like a very bad migraine.
Peregrinating around the rest of the interesting downtown, however, I discovered a good deal of yarn bombing, which led me to a cheery LYS, Purl's Yarn Emporium. The shop's owner(s?) appears to be mildly obsessed with Sock Monkeys...or so it seems to an outsider.
|This photo and the one below it convinced me, finally, that I need to get a wide-angle lens.
|"Why did you change our destination?" "I see yarn in your future."
I strolled around Purl's, then betook myself to a gallery of stores called the Grove Arcade, where I accidentally discovered Asheville Homecrafts, another kind of LYS. Both it and Purl's Emporium have a decent selection of yarns, and notions. Purl's also has a really good selection of knitting and crochet books.

In 1923, the Fleischers decided that, in addition to having their own animation studio, they should have their own film distribution company as well. They hoped to expand into live-action featurettes and gain greater control over the promotion, release and sale of their films. By 1929, they'd lost nearly everything. What happened?

I'm excited to lead TeamEdith in support of Edith Sanford, and help inspire and challenge others to see how much they can achieve for themselves, and for the fight against breast cancer.
Sioux Falls, SD (PRWEB) May 04, 2015
The Edith Sanford Breast Foundation today welcomed musician Thad Beaty as its newest goodwill ambassador in the fight to end breast cancer. Beaty, guitarist for the Grammy Award-winning band Sugarland and an accomplished athlete and fitness expert, will help promote health and wellness as part of Edith Sanford's focus on breast cancer risk reduction.
As a triathlete, marathon competitor and certified running and triathlon coach, Beaty will play a key role in leading TeamEdith, the Foundation's national fundraising team. He will engage with TeamEdith members online, sharing training and healthy lifestyle tips, and participate in TeamEdith events nationwide.
After years of struggling to make his own health a priority while touring as a musician, Beaty says his mother's cancer diagnosis in 2009 was a wake-up call. Through exercise and diet changes, he lost 70 pounds during an 18-month period and found a calling to help others get and stay healthy while giving back.
"Living your full potential is about more than physical health; it's emotional and spiritual. It's finding balance and contributing to something bigger than yourself," said Beaty. "I'm excited to lead TeamEdith in support of Edith Sanford, and help inspire and challenge others to see how much they can achieve for themselves, and for the fight against breast cancer."
TeamEdith, which is free to join, allows women and men of all ages to support the Edith Sanford Breast Foundation while achieving their own health and fitness goals. Every dollar raised is directly invested in breast cancer research to help find the cures.
Beaty's inaugural race with TeamEdith will be June 13, 2015, at the Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon and ½ Marathon in Seattle, Washington, where Edith Sanford will be featured as the event's official charity partner. Registration is now open. To learn more about TeamEdith and view upcoming events, visit edithsanford.org/teamedith.
"The Edith Sanford Breast Foundation found its perfect match in Thad," said Christine Dockter, the Foundation's chief development officer. "Not only does he have the fitness expertise and experience to inspire others toward more healthy, risk-reducing lifestyle habits, his enthusiasm for raising awareness and funds for the cause is contagious."
About the Edith Sanford Breast Foundation
The Edith Sanford Breast Foundation is pioneering a bold new comprehensive approach to breast cancer, with a mission to unlock each woman's genetic code, advance today's prevention and treatment, and end breast cancer for future generations. To learn more, please visit edithsanford.org.

After attending Martins Creek School from kindergarten through the 8th grade, Mr. Wilson graduated from Murphy High School in 1992 and completed an Associate's Degree at Young Harris College in 1994, graduating second in his class with highest honors. He then went on to earn my teaching license and a Bachelor's in literature from UNCA in 1997, graduating suma cum laude as the recipient of the Bryan Award for best senior thesis. He taught 6th grade language arts at Erwin Middle School in Asheville, NC. Following that, he returned to Cherokee County and taught 7th grade language arts at Andrews Middle School for two years before transferring to Martins Creek School where he taught language arts to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders for ten years. In his fourth year of teaching, he became Nationally Certified in Young Adult Literature. In 2007, he was accepted into the NC Principal Fellows Program, and completed a Master's Degree in School Administration and received my NC Administrator's license through Western Carolina University in May of 2009, graduating first in his class as the recipient of the Don Chalker Award for Excellence in School Leadership. He worked one year as the Assistant Principal at Martins Creek during that time. He also served as the Principal of Ranger Elementary/Middle School for two and a half years. Mr. Wilson feels that he learned a great deal about school leadership during that time.
Mr. Wilson has many roots in the Martins Creek and Ranger Communities. In the foyer of MCS, you can find a picture that was hung by former Principal Arnold Mathews. The photo is of 3rd and 4th graders at MCS in 1945, his dad is in the second row of that photo. Directly across from that photo is a picture of the 3rd and 4th grade class at MCS in 1983. Mr. Wilson is in the front row of that photo, holding the class sign. His brother and sister, and almost all of his cousins, nieces, and nephews on his father's side attended MCS, while most of those on his mother's side attended Ranger School.
Julie Hughes of Murphy Middle School has been selected as the Cherokee County Schools Teacher of the Year. She was selected from 14 school level participants by a panel of career educational specialists: Jody Alverson, Terelle Beaver, and Mrs. Brenda Blount.
MMS Principal Barry McClure had this to say of Hughes:
"Julie Hughes is truly an amazing educator. She is always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty for both her students and colleagues. Her dedication and her positive attitude enhances learning to the greatest level possible in her 8th Grade Career and Technical Education classes. With her superior organizational skills, her advanced knowledge of technology, and her extraordinary dedication to the teaching profession, Julie Hughes rises to the top. She is truly a distinguished teacher. Julie Hughes is a role model, mentor, and a teacher leader both at Murphy Middle School and throughout the Cherokee County Schools. She is the BEST of the BEST!"
Hughes will be recognized at the October Board Meeting along with the CCS Principal of the year, as well as the CCS Principal of the Year-

<scribe> scribe: melinda
<glazou> http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/
David: I sent an item for SVGMobile Last Call
Bert: Not a lot of comments;
Bert updates us on the minor changes summarized in his email.
Daniel: In fact we are back to
the previous state where we didn't mention the REC track.
... Steve, are you ok with these changes?
... You were most concerned about which modules were in scope for legal reasons?
Steve: I'll need to check with Adobe legal. But I'm not surprised about these changes.
Daniel: Hakon isn't here, but
left us with a comment asking to move GCPM up from low priority
... I'm a bit reluctant to do that without committment for implementations.
Peter: I don't have a problem moving it into the 'medium' priority list, but we can't move it into the 'high' priority list.
<glazou> dbaron: correct, EDF
Alex: Do we have two implementations of 'variables'?
<glazou> Bert: s/Disruptive Innovations/Electricit� de France although I'd really prefer that mention to be dropped...
fantasai: We have one implementation and another 'high interest'?
Alex: It would probably help to have an implementation count next to modules.
Peter: We collected that info, we can publish it I guess.
<fantasai> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008May/0033.html
Daniel: Anyone have problems with the charter now?
(Some discussion about changing the liaisson section.
Daniel: I suggest we wait for Adobe's reply regarding the charter.
<dbaron> Issues list for css3-color LC is at http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css3-color
David: I just have one
implementation report so far.
... I should probably write one myself for Webkit.
... So I can't really say yet we're ready to move to PR.
... It's possible we may need to look to Opera as well, because Webkit may be missing a couple.
... I've proposed resolutions to some of the issues remaining, so we could discuss them I think.
Steve: Is CMYK in or out?
David: Out.
fantasai: I checked with HP, and there's really no defined standard for CMYK.
Steve: I checked with ICC about
standardizing CMYK, and they indicated there are three (US,
Europe, Japan).
... None are suitable, but there is apparently some interest in coming up with a default that's interoperable.
Daniel: David, I see 19 issues on your page.
David: Issue 2
<anne> (I don't think Opera does 'opacity' entirely correct yet. rgba() and such have been implemented as part of Acid3 work though are not in release builds.)
David: There's a request to
restructure the TOC.
... There's an advantage to keeping the current numbering because people have been using it for years.
... On the other hand the spec could benefit from some reorg.
Daniel: So the proposal is to move gamma correction...
<glazou> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Mar/0405.html
David: That's a minor part; the bulk of the proposal's in the first URL's in the issue.
Anne: I think it's best to keep as is; we can reorg in level 4 as necessary.
fantasai: How about we remove
... Remove Section 2 and put gamma correction (scribe lost it...)
<fantasai> David: there's an issue on removing the gamma correction section since it's mostly wrong
David: There's another proposal
to remove the gamma section, so don't get too into the details
of where it goes yet.
... My tendency is to keep it pretty much as is.
Daniel: Yes, let's keep it as is and move things around for CSS4.
David: Another thing I want to discuss (not really in css3-color, but affects the whole group)
<dbaron> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Sep/0006.html
David: People don't really like our use of the word 'interoperable'.
Melinda: I agree.
... but it's broadly misused within the W3.
Daniel: Yes, this goes far beyond
the CSS WG.
... Let's leave the wording as is and I will take it to the mailing list for W3C chairs or the HTCG.
<Bert> ("Interoperable" is the word used in the W3C process document...)
David: Many of the other issues
are trivial in that they are totally editorial or they're
proposing new features that we're obviously not going to add
... There are a few others that I would like to propose solutions for before we discuss.
Daniel: Conference call or upcoming f2f?
David: I think it depends on how quickly I can get to them.
<glazou> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2008JulSep/0207.html

fantasai: Now negative lengths
are not allowed, but it's been discussed on www-style to get
some interesting effects without actually collapsing...
... When do we want to tackle this, as a 2.1 or a 3 issue?
fantasai discusses some issues...
David: This is not something I want to be rushing to implement, so I don't think it's for 2.1.
fantasai: We could say in 2.1 that negative widths are clampled to 0, that way they get parsed.
David: Which would be yet another change to what UA's do now.
Bert: It's better to keep disallowing neg lengths in 2.1, and target this for Level 3.
Melinda: My preference would be not to change 2.1 unless we need to.
<SaloniR> no objection
Daniel, David: We should keep it on the radar for CSS3.
<fantasai> http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/issues/64
<glazou> http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/issues/63
RESOLUTION: Not for 2.1, keep for 3.
<anne> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Sep/0145.html
<glazou> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Sep/0142.html
fantasai: I remember having an issue to remove the parens for background shorthand.
Anne: The previous draft does use the parentheses. Why did we decide to change this?
fantasai: Because we don't yet use them, and it didn't seem necessary here (we wanted to save them for other disambiguation).
<fantasai> where grouping is important
fantasai: I think Bert and I should take a closer look at this.
David: this is not urgent for me yet because we're not implementing background size yet. You could possibly use a fn.
fantasai: but the value itself
doesn't take a function.
... we do use a slash in the font shorthand.
David: But there it's used after a mandatory part.
fantasai: I understand there's a problem here, but I'm not convinced fn notation is the answer.
<scribe> ACTION: Bert to propose new syntax. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/17-css-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-105 - Propose new syntax. [on Bert Bos - due 2008-09-24].
<glazou> SVG MObile
<dbaron> http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/
<shepazu> I'm here if anyone has questions
David: They issued a Last Call with a 4 week review period.
<dbaron> I'd note Chapter 10 has font-* properties (CSS2.0 definitions, via XSL) and a bunch of text properties (mostly different from ours)
David: I encourage everyone to look at this. They are using different definitions for our font and text properties.
<fantasai> anne, see this message wrt background shorthand - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0121.html
Daniel: We need an extensive review of our properties versus theirs...
Doug: Are there major differences in this draft?
David: The flowing text stuff is new.
Doug: I just want to be sure we don't open old wounds for stuff that's been in there for several years.
<fantasai> ACTION fantasai review text properties in svg draft
<trackbot> Created ACTION-106 - Review text properties in svg draft [on Elika Etemad - due 2008-09-24].
Doug: One of the issues with the
1.x series of Tiny is that we're playing catch-up with
implementations, and we really need to get this wrapped
... We're not as constrained wrt the 2.0 family.
ACTION bert review svg draft
<trackbot> Created ACTION-107 - Review svg draft [on Bert Bos - due 2008-09-24].
Melinda: Do we want to coordinate a group review or just send out individual comments?
David: I suggest individual review because of the size.
Daniel: I agree.
... If we see an issue we think is quite large, we can comment on it as a group. But for smaller things, I think individual comments will be more efficient.
fantasai: I see rather large issues...
Daniel: What about a wiki
... we can collect comments there and send the whole page...
fantasai: I'm of the opinion we should send individual comments and deal with problems that arise from that as a group.
<glazou> "Please send comments to email@example.com"
We will send issues to www-svg, and cc www-style, and add a link to the archive on an issues list on the wiki.
Each person submitting an issue needs to update the wiki.
Peter: You can add a note on the wiki about group discussion as necessary.
Daniel: Other agenda items?
Steve: I will miss the next three meetings due to travel.
<fantasai> Steve: Jason, do you have an overview of your website redesign plan?
<fantasai> Jason: No, my manager's been pulling back on how much time I can spend on this stuff
<fantasai> Jason: Direction we outlined in San Diego is on hold until IJ's site-wide redesign goes forward
<fantasai> Jason: We need to figure out how we fit into that
<fantasai> Fantasai: I think the information design is going to stay mostly the same, but the visuals might change a lot from what we discussed in SD

Mark Zuckerberg and the Evolution of the Facebook IPO
In a story for today's Wall Street Journal, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg talked about his ambition to establish his nearly eight-year-old company as a stable corporate icon akin to Microsoft or Intel.
Here is what Zuckerberg told Deal Journal colleague Shayndi Raice about Facebook's coming IPO, and why he believes its an important milestone for the company's blue-chip future:
"The blue chip stocks are the ones that people talk about belonging in widows and orphans funds. Historically, technology IPOs don't make that list. Because of its scale, Facebook could be different."
Zuckerberg's candor is striking because only recently has he talked at length publicly about a Facebook IPO and his ambitions for Facebook as a public company. Of course, people have been asking for years when he might take public the company he set up in his Harvard dorm room in 2004. Until recently, Zuckerberg seemed to have stock responses to the possibility of an IPO: "We're in no hurry" or obfuscation/deer-in-headlights look.
More recently, though, his tune has changed in interviews, and Zuckerberg has started talking rather passionately about the IPO as a natural step for the company, and as an expected reward for its employees.
Here's a look at the evolution:
Time magazine, July 2007: "We're not really looking to sell the company. We're not looking to IPO anytime soon. It's just not the core focus of the company....What [Facebook's investors] want is to build a really great company, too. And if you think about the timeframe over which this has happened — we took our venture round from Accel Partners just about two years ago — they're not in a rush. We have plenty of time to build something good."
"60 Minutes, January 2008: Zuckerberg tells Leslie Stahl that an IPO is "highly unlikely" in 2008. "When going public makes sense to do, we'll do that. Maybe that's two years out. Maybe it's three years out," he said.
Wall Street Journal, March 2010: "We're going to go public eventually, because that's the contract that we have with our investors and our employees...."We are definitely in no rush."
All Things D conference, June 2010 (a.k.a, the sweaty, de-hooding interview):
Q: You're going to be CEO of this company when it goes public? Zuckerberg: "Yeah, I mean, yeah. I don't think about going public, as much."
Q: Do you have a date? Zuckerberg: "No. We're really just focused on building the stuff that we're doing now."
Q: Are you ever going to have the IPO? Ever? It's like you can't let go. Zuckerberg: "You know, maybe.…I don't think it's letting go. Here's the way that I think about it. A lot of people who… build startups or companies think that selling the company or going public is this end point. You win when you go public. That's just not how I see it."
Charlie Rose, Nov. 2011: Q: Why do you even think about being a public company?
"I actually think the biggest thing for us is that a big part of being a technology company is getting the best engineers and designers and talented people around the world. And one of the ways that you can do that is you compensate people with equity or options, right, so you get people who want to join the company, both for the mission, right, because they believe that Facebook is doing this awesome thing and they want to be a part of connecting everyone in the world, but also if the company does well, then they get financially rewarded and can be set.
We've made this implicit promise to our investors and to our employees that...[they will] be able to trade their equity for money. That's something that we take seriously as a responsibility of running the company....We'll go [public] when it makes sense. Honestly it's not something I spend a lot of time on a day-to-day basis thinking about now."
WSJ, for Dec. 2011 story: "People outside the company write about it [the IPO] more than its import inside the company. We've grown and we have a lot of great people at the company and we're connecting 800 million people now, and we've grown revenue a lot so from the perspective of what we once were, you could see us as successful or big but compared to what we think we're going to be we're so small."
