The Vatican has recalled its ambassador to Ireland following a report on the Catholic Church's handling of child abuse by priests that sparked government outrage.
Father Ciro Benedettini, a Vatican spokesman, said on Monday that Giuseppe Leanza, the archbishop and apostolic nuncio of Ireland, had been ordered to return from Dublin for consultations. The Vatican acknowledged that the recall of an ambassador was a measure rarely adopted by the Holy See, underlining the "seriousness of the situation". The principal aim was for direct discussions to prepare the Holy See's official response but the measure "does not exclude some degree of surprise and disappointment at certain excessive reactions", Benedettini told reporters.

The biggest threat to Western values. The paranoid style in politics often imagines unlikely alliances that coalesce into an overwhelming threat that must be countered by all necessary means.
In Clash of Civilizations, Samuel Huntington conjured an amalgamated East - an alliance between "Confucian" and "Islamic" powers - that would challenge the West for world dominance. Many jihadis fear the Crusader alliance between Jews and Christians.

Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell To Make Us Miserable. London Riots: BlackBerry Messenger Used More than Facebook or Twitter. As the riots in London look set to continue for a third night — and to spread to other parts of the UK — details are starting to emerge on how the rioters have been organizing themselves.
The medium of choice? BlackBerry Messenger. The riots began as a protest at the police shooting of Mark Duggan, a resident of the Tottenham area of north London, last Thursday. A Facebook group quickly sprung up to commemorate Duggan; police and media attention was drawn to a particular post on the Facebook page which appeared to fan the flames, as well as the occasional tweet from rioters describing their deeds and where they were headed next.
Some posted pictures of looting and burning police cars. But it soon became clear that BBM was by far the most popular means for rioters to communicate. Steroids - Juiced Baseball Player - 46019. Citation: Jake.

It's a very symbolic movie and nearly impossible to "get" upon first viewing without knowing anything about it.

The Flynn effect has always been tinged with mystery. First popularized by the political scientist James Flynn, the effect refers to the widespread increase in IQ scores over time. Some measures of intelligence — such as performance on Raven’s Progressive Matrices in Des Moines and Scotland — have been increasing for at least 100 years. What’s most peculiar is how scores have increased: 1) Scores have increased the most on the problem-solving portion of intelligence tests. 2) Verbal intelligence has remained relatively flat, while non-verbal scores continue to rise. 3) Performance gains have occurred across all age groups. 4) The rise in scores exists primarily on those tests with content that does not appear to be easily learned.
What’s puzzling about this increase in general intelligence is that it appears where we’d least expect it. Nirvana - Negative Creep.

Appeals Court: Obamacare Mandate Is Unconstitutional. Philip Klein reports: A federal appeals court has ruled that the national health care law's individual mandate is unconstitutional, calling it "an unprecedented exercise of congressional power. " Klein notes that "The three-judge panel that made the ruling was comprised of two Democrats, so this will be hard for the Obama administration to dismiss as the work of a lone activist conservative judge. And this virtually gaurantees that the Supreme Court will take up the case. " Reuters reports: The Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta, found that Congress exceeded its authority by requiring Americans to buy coverage, but also ruled that the rest of the wide-ranging law could remain in effect.The legality of the so-called individual mandate, a cornerstone of the 2010 healthcare law, is widely expected to be decided by the Supreme Court.

NEW DELHI , India — With a U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan on the horizon, India has been caught between cheering Washington's moves to rein in Pakistan 's military and bewailing the possible fallout if America "loses" Pakistan to China .
Unlike the United States , which can take its guns and go home, India will have to deal with the fallout of the war in Afghanistan and Pakistani radicalism for the next decade.
