Keane's third album lives up to its billing as an "avalanche of experimentation".
"We don't want to be one of those bands that forever remains the same, churning out the same old stuff," said Tom Chaplin at the Q Awards earlier this week. Changes in musical direction are a notoriously risky business, but for Keane it was a choice between evolving or forever being labelled as dull Coldplay clones. Two successful records into their career, most music fans had firmly fixed views on the Sussex trio: plenty loved them, but many others, led by chief critic Noel Gallagher, would rather have been fed to the sharks than caught listen to them.
Possibly inspired by Chaplin's recovery from drink and drug addiction, Keane's third album wields a sledgehammer at these preconceptions and showcases a creatively adventurous group who've developed a healthy fascination with seventies and eighties pop music. The band's talk of an "avalanche of experimentation" and breaching the "unwritten rules of musical etiquette" were intriguing, snappy soundbites, but few believed the piano-tinkling public schoolboys could actually pull off dance music and go all Pet Shop Boys on us.
Yet anyone who's heard comeback single 'Spiralling', with its infectious "Boooh!" cries and synths that Girls Aloud would murder for, will know that Chaplin and co. have pulled it off. The influence of producer Stuart Price, who's worked with Madonna and Gwen Stefani in the past, runs through the album's core and under his stewardship synth-pop and indie ballads sound like perfect bedfellows.
When the band are in full swing, as on the Bowie-esque 'Better Than This', it's hard to believe you're listening to the same group who swooned their way through earnest tunes like 'Somewhere Only We Know'. While existing fans may lament the shift towards brasher pop stylings, this album only loses its way when Keane slip back into their old bad habits. Closer 'Love Is The End' is a saccharine attempt at a lighters-aloft show-stopper that falls down under the weight of its own seriousness. It's also unlikely that anyone would care if 'Playing Along' and 'You Don't See Me' had been left as B-Sides.
However, these quibbles are soon forgotten whenever Tom Chaplin bursts into another bout of sparky falsetto. Not even Noel Gallagher could hold back a smile at the soaring synth-frenzy of 'Again or Again', while 'You Haven't Told Me Anything' suggests the band have been listening to plenty of Hot Chip in the last 12 months. The jaunty brass of 'Pretend That You're Alone' certainly "ignores the rules of good taste" as the band promised, but as with the bizarre segment of spoken French on 'Black Burning Heart', they get away with because they go in head first. With synth-pop now successfully conquered, it will be interesting to see where the band turn next, but for the time being Keane have triumphed and left their critics floundering.

International Calls For Academy Quartet
Four Nottingham Forest Academy players have been called up to represent their countries in the next few weeks.
Jake Mulraney (pictured) has been selected for Republic of Ireland squad for their Under 17 European qualifiers in Romania, with fellow Academy player Aaron Myles on standby. The Irish will play Sweden and Macedonia, as well as the host country.
Andreas Karo will be representing Cyprus in their Under 17 European qualifiers against Austria, Switzerland and the Faroe Islands.
Meanwhile, defender Kieran Fenton and left winger Ben Osborn have been called into the England Under 19 team for their qualifying group games against Estonia, the Faroe Islands and Ukraine.
Academy Director Nick Marshall said: "I took a call from England Under 19 manager Noel Blake yesterday afternoon and was delighted to hear of the call up for the two lads.
"Ben has been involved with England before, playing for the Under 18s at Crewe last season, so I'm pleased for him that he did enough to be considered again.
"On the other hand, this is Kieran's first call up and for him to have never been in a squad at any level before, to then being called up for the Under 19's in their European qualifying campaign is a mark of the improvement he has made this season.
"He came back in pre-season with the bit between his teeth and all the staff have been impressed with the way he has gone about his business.
"We are always telling the lads that talent plus a professional attitude is the only way they can achieve their goals and Kieran has had a great example of just how true this is.
"Everyone connected with the club can be proud we have four more Academy players representing their respective nations, joining the likes of Jamaal Lascelles, Dimitar Evtimov, David Morgan, Mathew Regan, Jack Blake, Lawrence Gorman, Aristote Amissi Kamaneno, Kieran Wallace, Wilfried Gnahore, Aaron Myles and Deimantas Petravicius who have already done the same."
With games against Derby coming on Saturday (Under 18s) and Monday (Under 21), the Academy staff have a number of interesting selection decisions to make.
Marshall added: "To be honest the call-ups won't affect what we've been doing much, already this season we've had Under 16s and 15s playing for the Under 18s and U18 and 17's in the 21s.
"Apart from at Birmingham last Monday when we had a few senior players, the Under 21s line-up has largely been made up of Under 18s and 19s.
"Losing two players of the quality of Kieran and Ben won't help, but we'd much rather have them playing for England and getting that experience, or in David Morgan's case experiencing 1st team football elsewhere.
"It will just give opportunities to more players to move up and I'm sure we'll have at least one more schoolboy making his debut for the youth team this weekend."

'Sick to my Stomach': Explosive Report Details ICE Negligence in Medical Care for Detained Children Resulted in Deaths, Preventable Surgeries
"ICE is operating exactly as the Trump administration wants it to when migrants are being so violently neglected."

Reporting from Buzzfeed News Thursday evening exposed how President Donald Trump's immigration policies led to four deaths and preventable surgeries for children held in the administration's detention regime, including one eight-year-old boy whose forehead was partially removed.
"I am sick to my stomach," said activist Sophie Ellman-Golan of the report's allegations.
Reporter Hamed Aleaziz broke the story, based on an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) whistleblower report he obtained about conditions for immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The report is here (pdf).
Immigrants held in ICE jails received medical care so bad it resulted in 2 preventable surgeries, inc. an 8-yr-old who had to have part of his forehead removed, & contributed to 4 deaths, according to a complaint from a whistleblower.
My investigation: https://t.co/ugsJE9eRC2
— Hamed Aleaziz (@Haleaziz) December 12, 2019
"The allegations appear in a DHS memo, obtained by BuzzFeed News, containing reports of detainees being given incorrect meds, suffering from delays in treating withdrawal symptoms, and one who was allowed to become so mentally unstable he lacerated his own penis and required surgery," Aleaziz said of the report on Twitter.
According to Aleaziz's reporting:
The allegations were laid out in a March 20 memorandum signed by Cameron Quinn, DHS's officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and sent to top ICE leadership. The memo describes the whistleblower as someone within the ICE Health Service Corps, or IHSC, which provides medical care and oversight for detainees in the agency's custody. BuzzFeed News does not know the person's identity.
The allegations in the DHS memo, if corroborated, are a cry from someone working for ICE echoing what advocates, lawsuits, and other media reports have been saying for years: The medical care ICE provides and oversees for immigrants in private and local jails could be very bad.
Advocacy group Latino Victory opined that the memo's allegations were just examples of what ICE is meant to do under the president.
"ICE is operating exactly as the Trump administration wants it to when migrants are being so violently neglected," the group said.
In a call to action, immigrant youth organization United We Dream noted there's blame to go around for the treatment of migrants by the federal government.
"While horrific torture like this occurs inside immigration concentration camps, Democrats and Republicans are moving forward on funding the Trump's white supremacist agenda," said United We Dream.
"These aren't isolated events," said immigration legal services nonprofit RAICES. "This is systematic and it's happening across the country."
"We must #FreeThemAll," said RAICES, "and #EndDetention before it's too late."

Vittoria Colonna to Contarini and the Commission of Cardinals, 1536
Translated by Charles Serignat OFM Cap
Original text can be found on CapDox: 11. Vittoria Colonna to Contarini and the Commission of Cardinals, 1536 transcribed[1] by Paul Hanbridge OFM Cap.
Introduction by Costanzo Cargnoni OFM Cap
(Introduction translated by Gary Devery OFM Cap from Cargnoni Costanzo (ed.), I Frati Cappuccini, II. n. 2020-2031, pages 214-215, Edizioni Frate Indovino).
For Vincenzo Lunello († 1549) it appeared to be the most favourable time to reunite the Capuchins and the reformers under the same General as the Observants. Paul III seemed convinced and disposed towards it. Nevertheless, towards May of 1536, he gathered together a commission of six cardinals, three for each position, to examine the question and present to him their conclusions. One of these, certainly suggested by the marchioness [Vittoria Colonna], was Contarini. She sent him a long letter, a lively apology of the Capuchin reform, but also destined for the whole commission of cardinals. It is without doubt the masterpiece of Colonna's "Capuchin" letters, where "the feminine ignorance and excessive boldness" are expressed with great effectiveness and literary skill.
The accusations made against the Capuchins are listed, examined and dismantled one after the other. There are six: the Capuchins are Lutherans because they preach the freedom of the spirit; they have placed themselves under obedience to the local bishops; they lack approval by the Holy See; they do not obey the general minister; they receive religious from other orders; they wear a habit strangely different to that usually worn by the other Franciscans.
The answer of V. Colonna has been well synthesised by Fr Cuthbert, who writes:
If to preach the liberty of the spirit be heresy, she wrote, then was St. Francis himself an heresiarch, for it was he who taught his disciples to observe the holy Gospel which repeatedly tells us that it is "the spirit which quickeneth," etc. But one has only to look to these friars' lives to observe their humility and obedience, their poverty and charity and their ungrudging labours, in order to know them. As to their subjection to the bishops, is not this ordinance in accord with the mind of St. Francis who in his own day would have his friars observe it? And is it not well known how in every city and diocese scandals and dissensions arise daily because the religious do not obey the prelates? Then it is said that the Capuchins have no written approbation from the Holy See. Have they not the bull of Clement VII and other letters, including the recent letter of the present Pontiff confirming the election of the present Vicar General? But beside these they have the miraculous writings of their own fervent deeds and the bull of the wounds of Christ and the brief of the Stigmata of St. Francis in their souls, confirmed by the daily benedictions they receive from his present Holiness. They accept, too, all those declarations which oblige them to the strict observance of their Rule, but those which relax the Rule they have renounced and still renounce.
In answering the charge that the Capuchins refuse obedience to the Minister General and that they admit Observants to their congregation to the scandal of the people, Vittoria follows the same line of argument as in her letter to Paul III. But a trace of sarcasm creeps into her reply concerning the change of habit. "Why all this clamour about the wearing of a habit worn by the great saint, when one sees a thousand habits that are without decency and a thousand varieties of habits worn by religious?" Why then, she asks, should the Capuchins exchange the obedience in which they have lived for ten years with the greatest perfection, in order to satisfy the ambition of those to whom the Generalate has brought such grave injury? She concludes with an impassioned plea that the cardinal will not destroy the Capuchins: they have suffered much already from the cardinal of Santa Croce (Quiñones) and the Minister General. Let these look to the reformation of their own and leave the Capuchins in peace. Now that the cardinals to whom she writes are better informed they will find no excuse before God if they allow themselves to be swayed by human respect; since Christ was not ashamed to die for us.
The letter concludes with a passionate plea, asking the cardinal not to destroy the Capuchins that have already suffered so much at the hands of the cardinal of Santa Croce (Quiñones) and the general minister.
Most Reverend Lord,
The devotion I have to the glorious Saint Francis, and the spur of conscience, allied to the trust aroused in me by Your Lordship's kindness, give me the certainty that you will not attribute my writing to presumption, but to devotion, nor to temerity, but to zeal for the truth.
However much I may lose credit on account of feminine ignorance and excessive boldness, so much authority will I gain from reason and Christian interest alone, which is my motive.
I thought, most Reverend Lord, that matters which had been proved by deeds these past ten years would not need to be daily proved by words, because as our Lord Himself says: the works I do bear witness to me. Therefore, I believed that the extreme perfection of the life lived by seven hundred truly mendicant friars, praised by every town in Italy, would not be placed in doubt by anyone, especially not by those who, over five years ago, said that they wanted to wait one more year to see how this holy Reform would develop. Thus they closed the door to any Observant friars who came to them saying that they wanted to reform, so that the latter would be unable to continue. In this way they always let it be understood that, whether the door was open or closed, the Observants would reform. And yet, as we clearly see, they have become ever more relaxed, while the others have constantly grown in structure and spirit, and in the number of perfect and most learned Fathers, so that your Most Reverend Lordships ought by now to be convinced that this is the work of Christ. Nor should their holy Chapters, with a most Reverend Cardinal of the first Order, to say nothing of their other worthy qualities, vouched for by their countless acts of good example and their humble and learned sermons, be seen as reasons to increase their troubles. From this we know that some seek to harass them and lead people to believe that they are divided and sunk in hatred and error, not out of ignorance of the truth but because the truth is painful to them. But in the end the fire will refine this gold, and the wood of their plots and trickery will all be consumed. Many things are said against them which will be resolved before the face of Christ and Saint Francis.
First, it is said that they seem like Lutherans, because they preach freedom of spirit; that they have made themselves subject to earthly rulers; that they lack letters of authority; that they do not obey the General [of the whole Order]; and that they wear a different habit and welcome friars of the Observance.
To the first count, we reply that if St Francis was a heretic, those who imitate him are Lutherans. And if preaching about freedom of spirit more than about vices is called error when one is subject to the ordinance of Holy Church, it would also be wrong to observe the gospel, which says in several places: It is the Spirit that gives life, etc. Besides which, those who say these things openly demonstrate that they have not understood the preaching. If they had, they would start to practise some of it with them; they would understand their humility, obedience, and poverty, their lifestyle, example, customs and charity. They would be so devoted to them that they would weep for having made them journey four hundred miles without any necessity, and making them face tribunals and harassment every day, simply for wanting to observe their poverty in peace.
To the second, that they are subject to rulers, we reply that there could never be a more humble or Christian work than this; or again, it would suffice to say: anyone finding fault with this ordinance is going against the will of Saint Francis, who put this same precept into practice in his day. Therefore, these friars, and the others whose only aim is to return to the poverty enjoined by the Rule and to the simple intention of its author, did not change this article, which had been corrupted by others. Rather they restored it, not privately as in some hole in the corner, but in the public chapter which they recently held, and brought it back to its original observance: by submitting first of all to His Holiness as their head, they wish to remain obedient to prelates, and they do so as to members of such a head. This is a far greater act of humility and devotion than that shown by those who intend and speak otherwise, especially in view of the scandal that ensues and the harm done to souls by these disputes and quarrels going on all day in the cities and dioceses, as I hear from talking to gentlemen who have real experience of these things.
Regarding the letters of authority, we reply that those that have been published over many years in the Order of St Francis, meaning those that are binding and are founded on the observance of the Rule, are all intended for these Fathers, who seek to observe them purely as far as is possible. Besides, they have the authentic copy of the Bull granted to this Congregation by Clement of holy memory, which is not meant to be used to settle details, as many writings of past popes are. Then there are the letters confirmed by the Chapters and by the present Vicar, and other letters, although the miraculous writings they have are the works they perform with burning zeal, as individuals and communally: they have the Bull of the wounds of Christ in their hearts and the writings of the Stigmata of Saint Francis in their minds, confirmed by the countless blessings which they have daily received and still receive from His Holiness. Likewise they accept all those writings that can bind them to the observance of their Rule, while those which relax it in any way at all they have rejected and still reject today.
As to the allegation that they do not obey the General [of the whole Order], we reply that it is obvious, that there is proof, and it is known that the religious Congregation of the Observants is in need of reform. In three of their general Chapters they passed a resolution to reform themselves, and later did not do so and are unable to do so: indeed in their provincial Chapters they have nullified and totally uprooted the first shoots of reform. There is a Bull about this matter from Clement of blessed memory ordering this reform, and two briefs of His Holiness, one requested by them, the other by these others, so that clearly they are in need of reform. And since all the reforms that have been effected among them have been revoked, while this one alone which is not subject to them is growing, it must be separated. As Your Lordships know, those who hate reform in themselves hate it even more in others, because the whiteness of the one clearly highlights even more the darkness of the others, and this is the chief cause of the persecution directed against them. Now, if they cannot put up with it when the others are absent, how will they endure it when they are present? In fact, they pick on them and wear them down in such a way that they are obliged to flee, or else to run with the others, crying out to God alone who in His mercy hears them. And the Most Revd. Santacroce knows how loudly he called for the reform of the religious Order, and I do not know how he can now want to quash, prevent and ruin that work, and one can say that His Lordship provided many an occasion for it, especially knowing that for many years now they have become more and more relaxed. From what can be publicly seen in their habit, their ceremonies and buildings, in their music, in the wills they accept and the supplies they store up, and in the way they own property through legal fictions, it is possible to deduce things which for the sake of decency are passed over in silence. But such things are contrary to all reform, things which, though it would greatly displease them, they themselves would tell to your Most Reverend Lordships for the honour of God and out of zeal for the truth. Besides which, the General whom these men obey is the first (representative) of Saint Francis. If the former obtained a change in their purpose, so as not to be contradicted in their lax lifestyle, so did the latter obtain something else, in order that they could live more strictly, and they obtained it peacefully, not because this General is better than the other one, but because he does not forbid, obstruct or hate them, especially when it is obvious how much the latter holy General has offended them and still does, and that ambition is the cause of great harm to him. These poor Fathers would sooner go wandering in the forests than run the risk of certain ruin. It is well known that it is not for lack of humility that they submit to everyone, but in order not to be prevented or diverted from so holy a purpose. Indeed, I think that every good person, and all the more so His Holiness and Your Most Reverend Lordships, is obliged to favour and defend them, and to forbid everything that to them is suspect and offensive in these matters, so that they may observe what they have promised to God and Saint Francis, in safety and without fear. The dispute appears to be about a desire that they be subject [to the General] directly, and so be ruined, rather than indirectly as they are now, and so remain in existence.
As for their acceptance of friars, which in my view is the origin of this storm, this is a case of wanting to shut the door more firmly than God wishes. Besides, there are many reasons to make me greatly fear that those who do this are displeasing to God, since we must remember those words of the Lord: Woe to you who shut the door of the kingdom of heaven. We all have so many obligations to help, encourage and inspire people to walk in God's way, and to urge religious to live out their profession, that you ought to go from friar to friar and layman to layman, begging them to reform, Nor can I understand why Saint Francis should fare less favourably than the other Saints in this Court. As your Most Reverend Lordships know, in the Order of Saint Benedict there are about ten reforms, all separate, in fact some wear white in order to be more separate from those in black; and every way of separating themselves is necessary. Saint Augustine and all religious Orders have carried out reforms. So why is it surprising that Saint Francis should have wanted his men to be reformed twice, the first time, in a half-hearted way, and this time perfectly, so that his holy habit and his evangelical Rule could be observed without gloss in our times, and that it has excluded all claim to have a founder or new branches? Although there was a Brother Matteo, who began this reform, a holy man who is alive today and is one of these Fathers, he was wary of ambition and was going around preaching when the Bull of Clement (of holy memory) was published, yet I say that the founder is Saint Francis, and that these men have no other leader, no other light to guide their way.
Do your Most Reverend Lordships know how much Monsignor Santacroce is championing the scandal which he wants to imply has arisen from the reform of these little poor men? It is no longer simply that the more he imagines, the greater he himself appears; rather, it is highly edifying and useful to the entire religious Order of Saint Francis, and to two thirds of the Observant friars. I do not wish to say any more, although I could, despite the persecution these men suffer. In fact, every day they write, earnestly begging you to ask God to let them freely go and reform themselves, and for the love of God they beg you to oppose the persecutions, imploring your help in fraternal charity, because they themselves are forbidden to speak and are obliged to write in secret. In fact the cases of imprisonment, torture and threats are such that it behoves them to appear as the enemies of the Capuchins and of the true observance which they have promised to God. And if your Most Reverend Lordships could see into the hearts of those who know what pain they endured while awaiting an opportunity to go over to this reform (there is not one of them who has not waited ten, twelve or twenty years, in the hope that, once there, they could reform) – you would feel compassion when (the Capuchins) receive them. And if the Most Revd. Protector and the ten governors had chosen a different course, not a word would have been said, especially if they had said: these are our brothers, sons of the same Father, they have greater austerity, God inspires them and gives them the strength to observe such rigidity, which used to be commanded. We do not wish to prevent those who wish from following them; indeed we rejoice to see our Rule lived in its first purity, and we, little by little, will gradually reduce at least the commentaries on the Rule. Everyone would be at peace and content, because among the religious of Saint Francis there would be bonus, melior, optimus. And even if they were unable to bring the others back to what is right, at least no harm should be done to these (Capuchins), because theirs is the more perfect way. To do otherwise would seem to show a lack of will to serve God, to live as a Christian, to observe gospel purity and the seraphic Rule. And let us not call harmful that which is clearly a gain for the Church of God. If those of the Observance come over to this strict form of life, they too, for sure, are coming to Saint Francis. How can this be a loss to God, to His Holiness or to the Order? Either those who go over to the reform are good, or they are sad. If they are good, it is a clear sign that among themselves they are unable to observe their Rule well. If they are sad, they must at heart feel the need to cleanse their observance of these dregs: either they come with a spiritual motive, or they come out of scorn. If out of spiritual motives, it is a serious and mortal sin to prevent them; if out of scorn, the scorn is a most happy occasion, because, as we see, it makes them live so perfectly thereafter. Although some object that it is in order to escape discipline that they accept a life of perpetual penance, and that their desire to be free of office makes them go and forfeit for ever all greatness of office and ambition, the objection is false and scarcely credible. Nor does Saint Francis command that his Rule be sustained with imprisonment, death and torture, but with humility, poverty and charity. Anyone who refuses obedience out of charity has so little love that he will never find his way to where there is nothing but love and charity, especially since they have a thousand ways of escaping it. As we see, each year four thousand or more leave their congregations to join Orders other than the Franciscans. This proves that what grieves them is not the fact that friars leave in search of perfection, but that they themselves cannot claim to be the strictest, as they have done for many years now, which has caused all this commotion. But it is not God's will that this silver should not now be separated from this gold. Or that for the sake of twenty friars who indulge this fantasy, hundreds should be allowed every day to betray God, their profession, the vows they have taken, in fact everyone, because the majority of the religious are aggrieved. And in nearly all the towns, when they see the letters from one side or the other, they say to the Observants that they will consider the matter, and to the Capuchins that they should go ahead and clothe them. So I cannot see why with human arguments they quash the divine ones, and break the ancient laws with new ones, as well as the holy constitutions of the Church, which allow any religious to opt for a stricter form of life. Also, they nullify the excellent intention of our Lord the Pope, who defended them when he was a Cardinal, and now that he is Pope has to put up with the annoyance they cause him in this matter, and if the door were to be closed once more, it would be the ruination of all the good men. Therefore it is better to decide on the basis of reason, on the side of Christ, of Paul and of the laws, than to improvise on the basis of one's own judgement.
In the state in which these friars find themselves, it is clear that they are doing wonderfully useful work, and that they are growing in number and perfection. I do not know how your Most Reverend Lordships do not tremble to lay a hand to change the slightest detail of their identity and way of life. These men are not asking for greatness, they have no wish to be rich: solely for the love of Christ's wounds and the stigmata of their Father do they ask to be left in the peaceful tranquillity of God and the true observance of their Rule. And it is certain that three very great disadvantages arise from this daily harassment: first, it encourages, fosters and feeds those who are lax in the religious state, increases their number and makes them appear envious, proud, ambitious and lacking in charity and reason. Secondly, the bad reputation that has now spread to every town and city of Italy and beyond, of those who are known to object so vehemently to their most excellent way of life, when everyone can see their good works, but not everyone understands the few siren calls that oppose them. Thirdly, because if nothing more were said about it, the former, in order to avoid a fall, would gradually amend their lives, while the latter, in order to remain in existence, would accept very few others and all of them would be fervent, as they have already expressly commanded in their recent Chapter. Therefore, for the love of God and of your office, may your Most Reverend Lordships be pleased to help them. And you should know that one would have to be living among the angels to be able to observe this holy Rule. How then can they be like the burning bush, in the heart of the fire yet without being burned? And if it were not God's will that it should be observed thus in all simplicity, even that great Saint could not have written it, nor would the good Pope have approved it, nor would it have been reformed so many times. Indeed, when the Pope first approved it, there was some opposition from the Cardinals, and one Cardinal, inspired by God, said: if Your Holiness does not approve this Rule, it would be necessary to deny the gospel of Christ, on which it is based. Now, what an infinite amount of good was done by those words, when we are talking about doubtful matters that then lay in the future. And what infinite good could be done by the words of your Most Reverend Lordships, if you praise this reform which in ten years was born, preserved and has increased. This is the true vocation to which all brothers of Saint Francis are called. These fervent sermons can be useful to the Church of God, so I do not believe that God would permit these unseemly troubles, except so that the light of their example might penetrate more deeply the innermost gaze of your Most Reverend Lordships, and make the others able to accept it themselves, that they might peacefully pray for His Holiness and for your Most Reverend Lordships and not have occasion to go crying and wailing to God and to His Holiness about the wrong that would have been done. Neither should heretics be given any cause for joy, and there are many, as we see from the state of the world today, with all the things we have to attend to. This one matter alone, the backbone of the Christian faith and of service to His Holiness and to the Church, they wish to break or weaken, which is by all means to be avoided, and which I commend to the prudence of your Most Reverend Lordships.
(autogr.) Regarding the habit, the quarrel seems to me out of place and it would be inappropriate to respond; God knows how many improper habits are worn, a thousand varieties of them are allowed to religious Orders founded without a clear purpose; one who wants to look like a Guelf, and another like a Ghibelline, can wear the plumes without being excommunicated, while these others cannot renew the habit of their glorious Father, who appeared so despised and poor in the world's eyes as to arouse great devotion. Indeed there is no devout friar who under that hood does not endure every sort of hardship, as he thinks about the one who wore it; all they need is a little cell where they can meditate at length on their own business. Not without reason did that great Saint wear it, as others did for sixty years after him, as is clearly demonstrated by the statues, the seal, the relics and the pictures.
Now what reason is there to change the obedience of these men, when they have been living the highest perfection for ten years, to satisfy the ambition of the others, and when we know the harm that has been and is being done to them by the General? What advantage dictated that the law be broken, or rather, what constitution decreed that charity and reason be ignored in their case, out of worldly fear of those who would enter to live a stricter life? And how in conscience can you take away these men's devotion to the habit on the grounds of the passion of the others? My Most Reverend Lord, the Capuchins are not ruining them, but rather edifying them. The Cardinal Protector and the General have done them great harm, also by spending money to obtain indulgences and favours against them, and should see to it that they remove their excesses and errors, and leave these poor men in peace. And your Lordship, who knows them best, will not be forgiven in the sight of God if human respect prevents you; for no human respect prevented Christ from dying for us.

The plural form still remains in other parts of the letter.] Costanzo Cargnoni: This letter refers to the Capuchin chapter held in April 1536 and to the pontifical Brief that confirmed it. The letter predates the Bull of Paul III on 25 August the same year which confirmed the recognition of the Capuchins and placed their Vicar under the General of the Conventual Friars who was thus recognised a leader of the whole Order of Saint Francis. At this time a grave danger menaced the Capuchin reform, namely the announcement of an Observant reform. Its general worked to have the pope put the Capuchins and the observants under the same leadership. The Pope left the matter to a commision of cardinals, [to whom this letter of VC is addressed. The commision consisted of Quiñones (Santa Croce), Lorenzo Campeggi and Antonio Pucci] The vicar General of the Capuchins, Bernardino of Asti presented a request to one of the cardinals, Antonio San Severino. This request may be compared with this letter of VC. The text of this request is in Boverius, Annales Minorum Cappuccinorum, an.1536, XVII-XXII. [: The parallels between Vittoria's letter and the Cedulo in Boverius has suggested to some that VC's shaped the Capuchin apologia and identity found in the Cedulo. More simply, if the text of Boverius is authentic, could the parallels also suggest that the Capuchins shaped Vittoria's apologia and idea of their identity?] ↑

'Affluenza' Teen Ethan Couch, His Mom Detained In Mexico After He Allegedly Violated Probation
Karin Sun
Ethan Couch, the wealthy teenager sentenced to 10 years of probation for a drunk driving incident that killed four people in 2013, has been detained in Mexico after allegedly violating probation.
Ethan Couch, 18, and his mother, Tonya Couch, were arrested and detained by immigration officials in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Dec. 28, CNN reports.
The Tarrant County, Texas, teen and his mother fled the U.S. after a video that surfaced in mid-December seemed to show the teen drinking at a beer pong party -- an act that is in direct violation of the terms of his probation, which prohibit him from using drugs or alcohol during the 10-year probationary period.
A warrant was issued for Ethan's arrest in Tarrant County after he failed to make contact with his probation officer. It was then discovered that the teen and his mother were missing.
More than a week later, the pair was apprehended by Mexican authorities in the Pacific resort town of Puerto Vallarta, where they were staying in a local hotel. U.S. Marshals reportedly used cellphone-tracking technology to pinpoint their whereabouts.
An arrest photo taken by the Jalisco state prosecutor's office in Mexico shows the teen wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt unbuttoned to his navel with his hands cuffed behind his back.
He also had dyed his blond hair brown, but he had not shaven off his beard.

The teen and his mother will both be deported back to the U.S., and Ethan will be turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending his court appearance for violating probation.
However, since his probation was issued in juvenile court and not adult court, he may only face 120 days in jail for his violation, Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson said at a press conference on Dec. 29, according to CNN. The 120 days is a result of how the Texas juvenile court system works: Since Ethan is 18 right now, he can only be punished as a juvenile. However, the harshest sentence a judge can give a juvenile who has violated probation is imprisonment until he or she turns 19. Ethan turns 19 on April 11, 2016.
The DA aims to have Ethan's case transferred to adult court, where a violation of probation would yield more serious consequences. This recent violation, however, would still not count, since Ethan would start his adult probation with a clean slate.
If Ethan later violates his adult probation, however, he could face up to 40 years in jail.
Tonya, who was reported as a missing person when she disappeared with her son earlier in the month, was charged with hindering the apprehension of a juvenile. She could face between two to 10 years in jail.
Ethan was convicted of intoxication manslaughter in December 2013 following an incident in June of that year in which he plowed his pickup truck into four pedestrians who had stopped in the middle of the road to fix a stalled SUV. All four victims were killed in the incident, and several passengers in Ethan's vehicle were severely injured, according to a 2013 CNN article.
Ethan's blood alcohol level was reportedly three times the legal limit at the time of the crash.
The case drew national outrage when a juvenile judge sentenced Couch to 10 years of probation for the incident, instead of the 20 years in prison that prosecutors asked for.
His case also drew attention when a defense psychologist argued on the stand that the teen was not responsible for his actions because he suffered from "affluenza" due to his wealthy, privileged background.
Before Ethan's detainment in Mexico, Tarrant County officials seemed determined to find the teen.
"You can run, but you're always going to be looking over your shoulder," Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said at the time, according to the Daily Mail.
"We're going to come after you," Anderson added. "We're going to find you, wherever you are."

You know how when you buy a particular marque or model of car you start to see them everywhere? A few years ago, wandering through ebay while avoiding a more important task, I came across some images of canoeing on romantic themes. I can't recall now which one I saw first, but here's a representative example.
How charming, I thought. They're courting in a canoe. I bought the first one I saw, and then I bought a few more, and soon the search expanded to sheet music and souvenirs too. Last year, while I was still working at the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ontario, I proposed the idea of an exhibit about canoes and romance. Because I left the museum for another job at the end of the year, I didn't end up curating that show, though I did do a design concept for it. I did agree to write the Gallery Guide for the exhibit, however.
These Gallery Guides are a project that I started at the Museum three years ago. The original idea was to publish some of the material that inevitably doesn't make it into the finished exhibit and provide visitors with some more information that they can take home. The first Gallery Guide was about the Museum's "It Wasn't All Work" gallery and explored the topic of canoeing for pleasure. The next Guide in the series was published in 2013 and recounted the story of the Museum's founding and its origin in the private canoe collection of Kirk Wipper. The third Gallery Guide, I'm proud to say, is my own. It was released when the exhibit it accompanies was opened on Wednesday, April 23rd.
The collecting of the images and souvenirs was great fun (and continues to this day), and the writing was a lot of hard work, but it's a great exhibit and I encourage you to drop in if you're travelling through southern Ontario. It's open now and will be up until next March. You can purchase a a copy from the Canadian Canoe Museum Store. The first (It Wasn't All Work: Canoeing for Pleasure) and second (Becoming Kirk Wipper: The Story of the Museum's Founder) Gallery Guides are also available from the store online.
A little late for Mother's Day (we're clearly running on Cultural Standard Time here at Playing With Boats, which is always a bit behind real-world time), here are some images of women in canoes from my collection, all from around the turn of the last century.
Entitled "Landing," this card shows our friend alighting from a handsome little lapstrake cruising canoe.
Some time later, in the same canoe, with the same lacy shawl (or a gill-net, but somehow I think it's a shawl. . .) but with a different outfit (but a no less fluffy hat), she bids "Goodbye." We can only speculate about what's happened in between these two cards. Judging from how straight the post is, I'd say we're looking at the stern of the canoe here.
Scenes suggestive of shoreside trysts notwithstanding, the theme of womens' independence shows up often in these postcards–we might call it the "canoe of one's own" motif. In a sporty sailor suit, charmingly encircled with two lines of rope and with a decorative background of paddles, our subject is clearly enjoying being out for a paddle. As she's out on her own doing a sports activity, a pleasure all-too-rarely afforded women of her era, perhaps the most important word is "yourself." She certainly seems to be firmly in control of her canoe.
"Paddling my own canoe" is another motif that shows up frequently in popular culture images of canoing. I wouldn't say she looks altogether comfortable, and there's at least a chance that she's holding an oar and not a paddle, but the point remains that women like her can and did paddle their own canoes at the turn of the last century.
The more of these cards you look at, the more interesting they get. Here we have several elements from other images, including the same initial "D" painted on the bow as above, albeit on a bright-finished canoe. The red and white striped fabric and the shawl lying on the deck sure look a lot like those in the first image, and come to think of it, her dress and hat are also pretty similar. That's a pretty wide-shafted paddle she's holding, too.
OK, strictly speaking Kate Vaughan isn't in a canoe, but she is wearing the colours of the American Canoe Association in this 1890s card from the Duke Tobacco Company, part of their "Yacht Colors of the World" series. Kate Vaughan (1852-1903) was a well-known English actress and music-hall performer.
While you're reading the impressive list of yacht clubs on the back of the card, take a moment to enjoy the exquisite typography of the titles at the top and bottom. There's a font that's worth reconstructing.
Until next time, when we might have done enough work on it to get back to our sailing canoe design. . .

BARRON, Wis. -- A 21-year-old man killed a Wisconsin couple in a baffling scheme to kidnap their teenage daughter, then held the girl captive for three months before she narrowly managed to escape and reach safety as he drove around looking for her, authorities said.
The news that Jayme was safe set off joy and relief 60 miles (96 kilometres) away in her hometown of Barron, population 3,300, ending an all-out search that gripped the state, with many people fearing the worst the longer she was missing.
"My legs started to shake. It was awesome. The stress, the relief -- it was awesome," Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said, describing the moment he learned Jayme had been found.
"She said that this person's name was Jake Patterson, 'he killed my parents and took me,"' said another neighbour, Kristin Kasinskas. "She did not talk about why or how. She said she did not know him."
Kasinskas called 911 to report the girl had been found after another neighbour out walking her dog encountered Jayme and brought her to Kasinskas' house. Patterson was apparently out looking for her when he was stopped by a sheriff's deputy based on a description of his vehicle from Jayme, authorities said.
"I thought, 'Good for her she escaped,"' he said.
"She just yelled, 'Please help me! I don't know where I am! I'm lost!"' Nutter, a social worker who spent years working in child protection, told The Associated Press.

EVE Online is getting a Microsoft Excel plug-in later this year
Several games have been accused of being little more than spreadsheets, but few have decided to lean into the allegation. That's what EVE Online is doing later this year though, when developers CCP release their own Microsoft Excel plug-in.
CCP discussed the plug-in in a blog post laying out their 2023 plans. 2023 is also the year EVE Online enters its third decade since release.
"Toward the end of January the Microsoft Excel plug-in, developed in collaboration with Microsoft, will be soft launching in a closed beta trial," says the post. "This integration will enable Omega capsuleers to log in and directly pull in-game data into Microsoft Excel. We believe this will level the playing field by providing easy and simple access to in-game data, without requiring coding knowledge. The official launch is planned around EVE's 20th anniversary in May."
The idea is that pulling data into Excel will allow players to more easily calculate profit margins on trade deals and even – because this is EVE – the likely outcomes of different battle strategies. You'll need to have an "Omega" subscription to make use of the plug-in, one of EVE Online's paid tiers.
CCP are also planning two new expansions this year, with one in Q2 and another in Q4 according to the roadmap (pictured above).
EVE Online might be getting on in years, but it's still unique when it comes to both MMOs and space games. That's why it remains one of our picks for the best MMO, even if it will be forever tough for new players to get onboard.

brent wilkes CIA contractors Corruption duke cunningham dusty foggo hookers nine fingers parties porter goss scandal watergategate
WatergateGate: Slow Going
Three notable pieces were published this weekend on the painfully slow-moving hookers 'n' Congressmen 'n' spooks scandal.
Newsweek's Brent Wilkes profile
Ken Silverstein's "Nine Fingers" Basset story
The San Diego Union-Tribune's poker party report
While they are all rich with color (a Nine Fingers "prank letter" filled with sexually explicit talk was intercepted by the KGB, who then tried to blackmail him), they are also all short on hookers (with Newsweek not mentioning them at all). Closer looks, after the jump.
The Newsweek piece seems to infer prostitutes, with talk of Wilkes staying in a hotel suite frequented in the 1940's by Naval officers who needed to be "pampered," but then the rest is about bribing Duke Cunningham and getting secret defense contracts, stuff which we already knew about. Becoming a rich and successful defense contractor doesn't really seem that hard, as you just need to buy two or three Congressmen, get your friend Dusty promoted to 3rd-in-charge of the CIA, and then pay for his vacations. Names on the "guilt by association" list include: Tom DeLay, Duncan Hunter and Jerry Lewis. Also, Brent likes to "burst into show tunes." Once again, we ask: what was the gender of these alleged hookers?
Silverstein puts the lie to the "Goss tried really hard to reform the agency" story, telling the inspiring tale of Goss' ability to surround himself with people with goofy nicknames and questionable ethics. Here's the heh-heh-heh bit:
Foggo had long served as a logistics expert for the CIA, his last posting having been Frankfurt. His duties then included taking care of visiting congressional delegations, a job at which he excelled. "Some of the Gosslings knew Dusty from trips they made to Germany when they were on the Intelligence Committee," one source told me. "Dusty would be waiting on the tarmac and he'd have cars and hotels lined up. He took good care of them, which is why they liked him so much."
Heh heh heh. Seriously, being third-in-command of the CIA is like being their official party planner, isn't it. Sounds like Foggo was perfect for the job!
Finally, the Union-Tribune's brilliant piece may make you feel like you're actually at a Watergate poker party.
The source said more than half a dozen current and former lawmakers showed up at the Watergate at one time or another, though some came to talk with Wilkes rather than play poker.
In 1994, then-Rep. Charlie Wilson, a Texas Democrat who was a strong backer of CIA operations in Soviet-held Afghanistan and a member of the House defense appropriations subcommittee, attended a couple of games, including the one Murray wrote about.
Wilson once showed up with a sackful of "party favors," including guns from the former Soviet Union and China as well as fake Mont Blanc pens that were actually camouflaged weapons, loaded with a single .32-caliber cartridge. Wilson confirms reports from Murray and a Wilkes business associate that he cheerfully distributed the little guns among the poker players.
Wow, little pen guns! Awesome! Seriously, is the entire CIA actually convinced it's 1963 still, or is that just the old white guys of Washington in general? The piece also makes brief mention of "miniskirted women serving food and drinks" at their pre-Washington parties, and almost pinpoints the location of their Watergate suite:
During his frequent trips to Washington, Wilkes rented a three-bedroom hospitality suite on the sixth or seventh floor of the Watergate Hotel, which adjoins the office complex made famous by the Nixon administration's political-spying scandal of the early 1970s.
Hey, Atlantic Media -- can one of your Watergate-based publications send someone down the damn hall to find out which room it was specifically? You could send Murray Waas if he's tired of waiting for the Rove indictment.

Anyway, the code has a bunch of assert statements you have to correct in order to complete the koans. Currently the two assert statements below are failing. I'm having trouble fixing the first one.
What's actually thrown is java.util.MissingFormatArgumentException. So e.getClass() will return that. But it returns an actual Class object, not a string. To make the assert statement succeed, I think I need to get a Class object for java.util.MissingFormatArgumentException. But I can't just create one because the Class class has no public constructor (see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html).
Any ideas how to fix this assert? Simply removing it would be cheating. Fixing String.format() would also be cheating.
public void insufficientArgumentsToStringFormatCausesAnError() {
    try {
        String.format("%s %s %s", "a", "b");
        fail("No Exception was thrown!");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        assertEquals(e.getClass(), "");
        assertEquals(e.getMessage(), "");
    }
}

Governor: COVID-19 valid reason to vote absentee
Gov. Asa Hutchinson issued an executive order Friday that allows Arkansans to vote absentee if they are concerned voting in person may be a risk to their health or the health of others because of COVID-19.
Executive Order 20-44 also allows elections officials to start processing the absentee ballots a week earlier than usual to allow for an anticipated increase in the number of absentee voters. He issued the executive order in response to an official request from the Arkansas Association of County Clerks.
"This order affirms Secretary of State John Thurston's position that the fear of exposure to COVID-19 or of exposing others at the polls is reason enough for a voter to cast an absentee ballot," Hutchinson said in a news release. "If a significant number of voters chooses that option, elections officials could be overwhelmed. We've already seen a significant increase in the number of applications for absentee ballots. This executive order builds in extra time for them to process and authenticate absentee ballots to ensure an accurate count and a fair election."
The additional number of days for processing ballots will coincide with the 15-day early voting period. During that time, elections officials will be allowed to process only the registration information from the outer envelopes of an absentee ballot. By Arkansas law, they will not be permitted to open the ballots and count absentee votes until 8:30 a.m. election day. The deadlines for applying for an absentee ballot and submitting a completed ballot remain the same.
Hutchinson noted in early July he was working to address concerns of infection from COVID-19 and how it could qualify people to request an absentee ballot for the 2020 election.
It was the first step in getting as many Arkansans to vote as possible, the governor said.
An absentee vote is different from mail-in voting because in order to apply for an absentee vote, the requester must be a registered voter.
Arkansans can request absentee ballots through Oct. 27. The ballots themselves must be received by 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3, Election Day.
In order to fund the postage and related costs, the Arkansas State Department expected to use CARES funding that is meant to help with costs generated by the coronavirus pandemic.
There will also, as usual, be a two-week time frame for early voting in person. This year, the state is looking into disposable styluses so there is less of a chance of spreading the virus through shared equipment.
In order to request an absentee ballot, registered voters can contact their county clerk or go to sos.arkansas.gov under the elections tab.


Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic that has been used in medical and surgical settings for decades. Pacific Pain Physicians, in Santa Barbara, California, offers ketamine infusion therapy to address chronic pain and depression with smaller doses of the drug, delivered slowly through intravenous (IV) drip. Call Pacific Pain Physicians or schedule a consultation online today to find out if ketamine infusions are right for you.
Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic that provides relief for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS/RSD), migraines, and other chronic pain conditions via small doses delivered through an IV infusion. Ketamine infusions are an alternative to narcotic and opioid medicines and are often useful for chronic pain conditions that haven't responded to other treatments.
Ketamine stimulates your neurotransmitter production and brain activity, including glutamate production. Glutamate is an amino acid found in most of your neurons, which is critical to the formation and function of your brain. Glutamate imbalance is associated with major depressive disorder as well as a malfunction in the pain receptors of your brain.
What conditions improve with ketamine infusions?
Ketamine infusions are also used to alleviate treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine boosts your neurotransmitter production and function, addressing the imbalances that lead to depression and other mood disorders more quickly than traditional oral antidepressants and without unwanted side effects like weight gain and libido loss.
What should I expect during a ketamine infusion?
A ketamine infusion takes approximately an hour. You should avoid eating for four hours before your appointment. Make sure to tell your doctor about any other medications, vitamins, or supplements you take.
While you relax in a comfortable armchair, your doctor inserts your IV and prepares your drip. Depending on your condition, your doctor may also use other monitors to measure your blood pressure, pulse, and oxygenation during your treatment.
You may experience tingling, floating, or dream-like sensations during your infusion. These effects wear off soon after your treatment is complete. After your treatment is over, you relax in the Pacific Pain Physicians offices while any side effects of the medication subside.
While you may experience immediate relief of your symptoms after just one ketamine infusion, your physician creates a customized schedule of ketamine infusion therapy to provide lasting relief.
If you live with a chronic pain condition that hasn't improved with other treatments, call Pacific Pain Physicians or schedule a consultation online today to find out if ketamine therapy is right for you.

Kelis with Son Little at The Hoxton
Photographs by Sarah Rix.
In 2003, Kelis was best known as the girl whose milkshake bought all the boys to the yard. Now she's back with a funky new menu that will satisfy your taste buds. Kelis dropped her new album Food back in April, her first in four years. She describes the record as "love and summer" and based on what I've heard yesterday, her intimate venue tour is bound to make you nostalgic for some home cooked meals.
Opening for Kelis was electronic/soul singer, Son Little. His songs were heartfelt; his vocals were smooth but his overall performance left a lot to be desired. It felt like his set was lacking substance and needed a little more spice to jazz up his stage presence. Lucky for him, Son was able to grab the crowd's full attention in the end.
It was time for the queen of mystic to hit the stage. The 30-minute wait was infused with dancehall tunes and drunken folks attempting to do the dutty wine. Finally, appearing flawlessly in a fitted green dress, Kelis opened her show with a cover of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good", which sounded so exquisitely over the sax and trumpet. She welcomed her guests by letting them know the evening would be special, served with multiple helpings of new and old favourites.
For most of the night, Kelis' performance was on point. Her saucy blend of soul, dance, R&B was the perfect seasoning to enhance your censor-free soul. The six-piece brass-ridden band was the right ingredient to create those rambunctious rhythms for "Jerk Ribs", "Friday Fish Fry" and "Milkshake". And when her husky voice would mess-up her vocal range, her backup singer was there to keep the flow going. However, the sluggish pacing would derail the energetic performances, as Kelis would pause to chat with fans, take Instagram photos, or check the audio system.
Despite its shortcomings, Kelis and her band served its best dishes last night. Her recipe for being intimate and having an eclectic energy brought so much depth to this show, which made this cookout more enjoyable. After a long hiatus, it's nice to see Kelis back in the game.

Jökulsárlón är den största och mest kända av ett antal issjöar på Island. Den ligger söder om glaciären Vatnajökull, mellan Vatnajökulls nationalpark och orten Höfn. Sjön uppenbarade sig först 1934–1935, och växte sedan från 7,9 km² år 1975 till åtminstone 18 km² i dagsläget, på grund av smältvatten från glaciärerna på Island. Den är Islands djupaste sjö.

'This is a pro-business administration': Tony Evers talks up his policy goals
Bill Glauber and Patrick Marley
Gov. Tony Evers came to Milwaukee on Monday to assure business and political leaders he is on their side as he unveiled broad policy initiatives and prepared for next week's "state of the state" address.
"This is not an anti-business administration," Evers told the Greater Milwaukee Committee. "This is a pro-business administration. This is an administration that cares about the people of Wisconsin."
During his speech and follow-up questions, Evers laid out an agenda that includes pushing through an expansion of Medicaid and boosting spending on education so that the state covers two-thirds of K-12 costs.
"For the first time ever, I think (Assembly Speaker) Robin Vos has agreed with me that two-thirds funding is important," Evers said. "I'll take it. We'll take it. We'll make sure he and I are together on that issue going forward."
While upbeat, Evers didn't mention dollars. He wants to put in an additional $1.4 billion and Vos wants to put in much less than that.
Evers announced that his transportation secretary, Craig Thompson, will convene a group in the near future to study road funding.
"I'd rather not have a tax increase," Evers said. "But that committee that Craig Thompson will be putting together in the near future will come up with recommendations. Clearly, the gas tax is an option on the table."
"Here's what's not on the table," he said. "We can't borrow. Either we lower our expectations or find a revenue stream."
All the initiatives will have to go through a Republican-controlled Legislature, whose leaders have voiced concerns about Evers' agenda.
He said he'll focus economic development on all 72 counties, but strengthening Milwaukee remains an important part of his agenda.
"It's really time for the State of Wisconsin to form a better relationship with the greater Milwaukee area," Evers said. "That's at the core of what I'm doing."
Responding to a question, Evers said he was "open to" options about expanding the Wisconsin Center and "hopefully we can accomplish that in the near future."
Focus on startups
Before Evers' speech, he announced that the state's economic development agency is forming a committee on entrepreneurship and business innovation.
The Democratic governor said that the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. was convening the committee at his request. But he is operating under a weaker hand than his predecessor, Republican Scott Walker.
Up until Republicans approved lame-duck legislation in December, Wisconsin's governor had the power to direct the economic development corporation. But under the new laws, WEDC's board is controlled by Republican appointees and the agency is run by Mark Hogan, who was put in place by Walker.
Evers campaigned on dissolving the economic development corporation and replacing it with a more traditional state agency.
Republicans balked at getting rid of the entity they created in 2011 and believe is more nimble than the state Department of Commerce that predated it.
Between Evers' election and inauguration, Republican lawmakers proposed and approved sweeping legislation curbing the power of Evers and new Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul and limiting early voting. Walker signed the laws just before leaving office.
RELATED:The Wisconsin legislative session is starting out with litigation, and it will cost taxpayers
RELATED:Scott Walker signs lame-duck legislation without vetoes curbing his Democratic successor's power
Among the provisions of the new laws are ones putting Republicans in charge of WEDC's direction and giving the board — rather than the governor — the ability to appoint its secretary.
Those rules are temporary. Under the lame-duck laws, in September the governor will regain the ability to appoint WEDC's secretary and WEDC's board will be evenly split between Republican and Democratic appointees.
For the moment, at least, Evers and Hogan are seeing eye to eye on entrepreneurship.
Evers said in a statement that the new committee would help identify support for entities that help startups and find investors for new businesses.
In the same statement, Hogan said his agency would form the committee "to enhance our increasingly vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem."
"Providing support and resources to Wisconsin's entrepreneurs is vital to helping new businesses grow and thrive in our state, and I appreciate that Governor Evers is focusing on this important issue," Hogan said in the statement.

The hotel was great. It was a good location and you could walk easily around town from that point. The room was clean and comfortable. It was also nice to have the breakfast in the morning.
Great place to stay. Great service. Within walking distance of everything.

Most popular club-bar on the Campo with a modish design that distinguishes it from other more classical venues. It's the place to go if, like the trendiest young Romans, you would not be seen dead drinking wine, although the main alternative is beer and they only have three varieties. Still, they have all the top-shelf standards, a great location right on the piazza, DJs most evenings and happy hour from 5-8pm. Definitely not a dry ship.

Educator Directs Iraq University (The Washington Diplomat)
Dawn Dekle, PhD '93, president of the American University of Iraq, is the first woman president of any university in Iraq, notes The Washington Diplomat.
Dekle, who earned a PhD in psychology from Dartmouth and a law degree from Stanford University, tells the Diplomat that it has "been my dream to be president of a university in a developing country with an interesting political situation."
The Austin, Texas, native "knows a thing or two about living dangerously," writes the newspaper. Before taking the helm at the American University of Iraq, Dekle spent two years in Kabul as provost of the American University of Afghanistan, whose campus is surrounded by razor wire and has snipers on the roof in case of attack. "More than once, female students off campus had acid thrown in their faces by Taliban militants outraged by the idea of girls getting an education," writes the Diplomat.
Often asked why she wants an academic position in such a volatile part of the world, Dekle says, "The truth is I want to be part of history, and right now Iraq and Afghanistan are making history and I have a front-row seat. It's an absolute honor to be there. I'm completely committed to this dream."
Read the full story, published 11/3/13 by The Washington Diplomat.
