Skip to comments.Holder: DOJ Will Vigorously Use Voting Rights Act Against States
Posted on 06/07/2012 10:58:22 AM PDT by CNSNews.com
(CNSNews.com) Attorney General Eric Holder told the House Judiciary Committee Thursday that the Justice Department will vigorously use anti-Jim Crow provisions in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prevent some southern states from purging ineligible voters from their rolls and enacting voter-I.D. laws.
"It is the position of this Department of Justice and certainly this Attorney General that we will vigorously defend and vigorously use Section 5. The need for it is still there."
Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act requires several southern states and counties in states such as California and Florida to get federal pre-clearance before they change any voting eligibility laws or voting requirements or procedures.
Originally, the provision was designed to combat the legacy of racist Jim Crow laws passed in some states to prevent black people from voting.
Although Holder stressed the "need" to vigorously use Section 5, he did not say which states he thinks are pursuing racist policies that require Justice Department interference.
The Justice Department recently cited Section 5 in a letter to the state of Florida ordering it to stop an ongoing effort to purge ineligible voters from its rolls, focusing on illegal immigrants in particular. Five Florida counties are required to gain pre-clearance from Justice under Section 5.
Justice also blocked a South Carolina voter-I.D. law in December 2011, saying it violated Section 5s prohibition on racially discriminatory voting laws. In March 2012, the department also blocked a Texas voter-I.D. law again saying that the requirement that people show a photo-I.D. to vote was racial discrimination.
I wish someone would tell Holder to sit down and shut up!
There, that's better. Nothing like protecting illegal voters by disenfranchising legally registered voters. This Administration has done more to racially divide this nation than any Administration in recent memory.
Maybe the plan is to use these laws to reject Electoral College members from certain states?
Impeach him... after the election charge him and if found guilty... let Justice truly be done!
What the hell does voter I'd laws I'd have to do with jim crow? Impeach this SOB. This is blatant politicization of the DOJ.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits states from imposing any "voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color."
So how does this apply to any laws aimed at NON citizens?
I cannot understand why this piece of garbage is not in jail yet.
Supreme Court settled this 4 years ago.
Holder claims tha Voting Rights Act of 1965 was intended to facilitate vote fraud.
Holder is wrong.
Connie Mack (R-FL) is one of the seven GOP members in the House Oversight committee that has not agreed to vote for a Contempt of Congress citation against Holder.
The action the Holder is threatening is directed at Florida.
Perhaps Mr. Mack could now be persuaded to vote for the CoC citation?
H0lder is working fast and furiously on vote runnin'.
Holder is looking for the Scott Walker treatment in Florida. Bring it!
I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Well, nothing like clarification of his position. Holder is all-in vs. the people the United States.
He should appear before Congress sooner rather than later to explain what exactly he intends to do. I perceive his comments as intending to enable fraud, perhaps a RICO act against our AG?
I find it difficult to imagine how any US Citizen would not have some form of ID. A form of ID is required for some of the most basic (a job, a bank account) or inane things (a store shopping card, a fishing liscense).
If the concern is that cost in obtaining ID is a barrier, then perhaps the Mr. Holder's push should be back upon the State and/or Federal Government to provide ID for a lesser, if not zero, sum?
The States need to tell the DOJ to stuff it.
Section 5 cannot be used to cause a State to break its own laws, not abrogate their Constitutional responsibility to provide equal protection to all voters.
The DOJ has not provided any PROOF of discrimination or other alleged misdeeds.
The States should tie up the matter in appeals, past Election Day, while making their Voter ID laws in effect for the November elections.
Congress can also pass a budget that strips all enforcement monies specifically from Section 5. Problem solved.
It's about time for the voting rights act to be repealed.
I imagine any use, vigorous or otherwise, of the VRA will come closer to the election so that the vigorous smackdown from federal courts will come after the election.
The corrupt scumbag Holder speaks on behalf of the most corrupt and sleazy justice department in history.
I love it that Florida's Governor Scott told Ubama and his pack of race-hustling scumbags to go play in the street.
Send Gov Scott an email showing your support
If the effect of the NVRA (Motor Voter) is to force a state to allow never-eligible non-citizens the opportunity to vote, he wrote, then the statute might violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution, which guarantees that the right to vote cannot be denied by a dilution of the weight of a citizens vote.
As for the Voting Rights Act claim, Detzner wrote, Florida already received federal permission to remove noncitizens, which is clearly spelled out in Florida law.
Whats more, the Voting Rights Act applies to only five Florida counties Monroe, Hillsborough, Collier, Hardee and Hendry and not the other 62 in Florida, including Miami-Dade, where about 1,600 of the 2,700 potential noncitizens were initially identified by the state in a database created by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
About 500 people in Miami-Dade have been found to be lawful citizens and voters, and 13 noncitizens have been found. Two of them might have voted and could face prosecution. The county has been unable to verify the citizenship of more than 1,100 others.
Assuming the purge halts, those people could vote this year even if some are noncitizens.
"Not a single eligible voter as far, as I know, has been removed from the voter rolls," Scott said Wednesday on WNDB radio in Daytona Beach, according to a News Service of Florida transcript. "Not one. And were working to keep it that way."
"Their vote should not be diluted by people who dont have the right to vote," Scott said. "We need to be reviewing our voter rolls and making sure only those individuals who have the right to vote are voting."
This hardly seems like an approach earnestly designed to protect the integrity of elections and to ensure that eligible voters have their votes counted, said the letter, written by Scotts hand-picked secretary of state, Ken Detzner, a fellow Republican.
Detzner also submitted a list of four questions that he wants the DOJ to answer:
Seems like the dems think blacks can do nothing for themselves and must be led to the polls and have their hands held and even told how they should, and even must vote.
I always thought blacks, like everyone else, should be responsible enough to do those things themselves.
Who are the racists among us again?
If Obama loses this election, the administration just may try to use the VRA to disallow electors which go to the challenger.
Wow. Let's all keep our powder dry.
They need Mandy Patinkin to tell them that "I don't think that word means what you think it means"
"and even told how they should, and even must vote."
Just go in, get the butterfly ballot, and punch the third one down.
The civil rights and voting acts beginning from 1866 through 1965 were all sponsored by Republicans and fiercely (sometimes violently) opposed by Democrats.
The fact that he would site this in regards to keeping illegals and dead people off the voting rolls is so ludicrous it's criminal.
How about enforcing existing voter intimidation laws Eric Holder? Remember the New Black Panther incidents, you POS?
How does the voting rights act prevent removing dead people and illegals from the voter roles?
I dont recal anything in the voting rights act protecting dead people's rights to vote
Holder. Ratke. Trumpka. Pelosi. Van Jones. Reid. Sunstein. Solis. Carney. Napolitano. 0bama. Sebilius. Chu. Sotomayor. Geitner. Soros. Shultz. Hoffa...
...feel free to add to this list.
This list is for future reference.
"I cannot understand why this piece of garbage is not in jail yet."
Cowardly, aisle-crossing, career-minded weaklings infesting the Republican party, who had their alleged manhood removed in the middle-of-the night by the Gonad Fairy.
Without grandstanding, the regime's got nothing.
What the hell does voter Id laws Id have to do with jim crow? Impeach this SOB. This is blatant politicization of the DOJ.
I volunteer at our local Hospice. Today I noticed that patients must have a legal ID—like a driver's license. I guess you even need a photo ID to die, but not one to vote!
AG Holder will vigorously defend the rights of dead voters everywhere, how dare the States disenfranchise the deceased!
You know what? I say do it, and let the DOJ sue. Take me to court, bitches.
If you need more people for your list of people to hate, check my home page.
I'm not sure this is true. They have, however, found that an accusation of "racism" successfully causes their opponents to stop arguing.
For the record, I don't hate anyone. Emotion can interfere with fire control discipline. Kinda like "buck fever."
Right. One has to have an ID to do almost anything in this society except vote. This issue should be confronted head on and dealt with. The liberals want to preserve their voter fraud games and we need to shut that down.

Sounds like the Federal Government has officially declared war on the states...if the states band together the states will win.
The fed gov't has been overstepping the bounds,for many years with special intensity for the last three years, enough is enough already.
Gov Scott has told the DoJ to pound sand ........................................ FRegards
While poll taxes and literacy tests arguably applied only to blacks particularly in their enforcement, it is hard to see how requiring an ID card would. Unless you could show that this procedure was enforced only against a certain race or color. There is no evidence of that as the law is written or implemented.
Have you read Souter's and Breyer's dissents?
Anyone hired in the DOJ during the Obama regime needs to be fired and investigated for any illegal activity. Starting at the top.
Yeah, so much for "hope and change" "yes, we can" and that joke of "unity"
Wake up, America...these people are evil.
We've been in one for the past 3 years. :(
Buckle up, it's only gonna get worse.

As the Princeton men's lacrosse team came back onto the Sherrerd Field turf after halftime Saturday, it was greeted by a group of men in orange Princeton jerseys who were exiting through the same gate.
The men in the orange jerseys were the members of the 1992 NCAA championship team, the first of Princeton's six NCAA winners, and they had just been honored at halftime on the 20th anniversary of their title. As the current Tigers came back on, the 1992 team formed something of a receiving line.
On a day to celebrate the past, admire the present and wonder what the future has in store, Princeton had four players with three goals each and three more with two each - not to mention one with a goal and four assists - in a 21-6 run past Dartmouth in front 1,618 on a sunny warm spring afternoon.
The win improved Princeton to 8-3 overall and 4-0 in the Ivy League and clinched a spot in the Ivy League tournament, which will be held May 4th and 6th either in Princeton or Ithaca. Dartmouth fell to 2-8, 0-4.
Princeton and Cornell are both 4-0, while Yale is now 3-2 after its four-overtime win over Brown Friday night, a win that earned the Bulldogs their spot in the field.
Regardless of what happens in next week's games between Princeton and Harvard and Cornell and Brown, the winner of the Princeton-Cornell game on Sherrerd Field on the 28th will host the Ivy tournament.
Princeton had its second big win in four days this week, as it outscored Rutgers and Dartmouth by a combined 34-10. The Tigers scored at least five goals in every quarter against the Big Green.
Dartmouth actually scored first, and it took Princeton 6:35 before it got its first of the day. After that, the goals started to come rapidly.
By the time it was over, Tom Schreiber (3G, 2A) and Will Himler (1G, 4A) had five points each, while Mike MacDonald, Jeff Froccaro and Luke Armour all had three. Freshman Brendan McGrath had the first two of his career, and Tucker Shanley and Forest Sonnenfeldt had two apiece as well.
In all, 13 players had at least one point for the Tigers, who scored their 21 goals on 46 shots. Princeton's Peter Smyth, Bobby Lucas and Justin Murphy combined to go 20 for 30 on face-offs.
Princeton High School grad Mike Olentine had two goals for Dartmouth.
Princeton led 10-2 at intermission and then scored four times in the first five minutes of the third quarter.
In between, Princeton honored 22 members of the 1992 team, including Hall-of-Famers Scott Bacigalupo and Kevin Lowe, Warrior Lacrosse founder David Morrow and Andy Moe, who scored the game-winning goal off the face-off of the second overtime to beat Syracuse 10-9 in the final.

The Elizabeth A. Connelly Emergency and Trauma Center serves the fastest growing borough in New York City. The rapid growth of the Island's population and recent increase in vehicular accidents has resulted in nearly 100,000 patients annually visiting Staten Island University Hospital for pediatric and adult emergency and urgent care. That equals one in five Islanders who each year turn to Staten Island University Hospital.
Staten Island University Hospital's existing north campus Emergency Department opened its doors in 1979, when the Island's population was 280,000. Since then, the Island's population has increased by one-third, while two of the previously existing Island Emergency Rooms closed, leaving only three to serve 125,000 commuters and 500,000 residents.
Islanders requiring the highest level of emergency care turn to Staten Island University Hospital's Elizabeth A. Connelly Emergency and Trauma Center, a Level I Trauma Center, located on the Hospital's north campus. (The emergency centers on both north and south campuses are 911 receiving hospitals responsible for the evaluation, resuscitation and stabilization of patients of all ages who present with an acute illness or injury.)
This emergency facility is 39,945 square feet and features 56 patient treatment rooms, enabling Staten Island's preeminent health care team to deliver trauma, behavioral, urgent, and emergent care to adult and pediatric patients in a modern spacious environment.
Directly above the emergency center is the Regina M. McGinn, M.D. Education Center. Specifically designed for teaching and learning, the education center serves as an axis for both hospital and community continuing medical education. The McGinn Center is a regional host for seminars and workshops, and the headquarters for a more spacious medical library for medical professionals, and new health literacy programs for the residents of Staten Island.
Elizabeth A. Connelly
Forever our Guardian Angel
Staten Island University Hospital's new emergency and trauma center is dedicated on this day in lasting memory of a noble woman who touched the humanity in all of us during a long and distinguished career of service as a leader in the legislature and in health care.
Known as the guardian angel of the mentally disabled, she championed the causes of health, human rights, public safety and the environment from the state capital to the steps of Borough Hall.
With the lifelong support of her husband, Robert Connelly, Betty, a mother and grandmother, became an inspiration for her generation and beyond. In 1973, she became the first Staten Island woman elected to public office and the fi rst to be elected Chairman of Staten Island University Hospital's Board of Directors, serving the hospital with distinction since her days as a volunteer and Auxilian from 1961 to 2006.

Just like any businessman starting his workday, Mark Riccobono headed out the door Sept. 13 and hopped in his car.
The he put on his sleep shades, started the engine and took off down the street.
Riccobono, executive director of the Jernigan Institute at the National Federation of the Blind, was in town to help the Colorado Center for the Blind celebrate its 25th birthday by offering rides in a vehicle designed give blind people the ability to drive.
He stresses it's a car blind people can drive, not a car that drives blind people. And to prove it, he completed an obstacle course at Daytona in 2011, reaching speeds of up to 27 mph.
The 2010 Ford Escape is a hybrid, not so much for the environmental benefits but because it has the extra battery power required to keep all the bells and whistles running. GPS and sensors work together to send vibrations to Riccobono via gloves and the seat, telling him when it's safe to go, when to turn left or right, and when to hit the brakes. The sighted Paul Ficarro, NFB facilities manager, sits in the back seat with a big red emergency stop button for those "just in case" moments, but he offers no verbal direction.
And none was needed as Riccobono cruised the neighborhood around CCB over and over, hauling students, staff alumni, the press and local dignitaries. He compares his quest to create the vehicle, and ultimately to make it widely available, to the journey of life for the CCB students.
"When we come in as students, we're really passengers and Diane and Julie (Deden, executive director), they're our drivers," he said. "But they're teaching us every day how to be drivers in our own lives. The rest of society is very content to have us be passengers, even in our own lives."
Mayor Debbie Brinkman got the first ride after the welcoming ceremony.
"You guys are pretty low-maintenance, actually," she told the dozens in attendance. "It's the rest of the community we have to keep reminding of that. … You're such a part of the fabric and the fiber of the community."
CCB's founder Diane McGeorge was on hand to recall the early days in Denver before the center moved to Littleton 13 years ago.
"The day we opened, we'd had a terrible blizzard a couple days before," she said. "It was quite a walk in the snow and ice and freezing temperatures, and they had to cross Broadway, a busy street, and the traffic lights were frozen. But in came those five students. And I said, 'Welcome to reality. This is the real world.' I do believe in reality therapy, because we want blind people to live in the world."
Fred Schroeder, NFB's first vice president, said that before NFB existed, the prevailing theory was that blind people just needed to be taken care of.
"But they were telling them all of the low expectations that you grew up with, they're all true," he said. "We're not going to teach you to just cook a hamburger, we're going to teach you to believe in yourself. Mostly what you learn here is that what society believes about us is wrong."
"There were a lot of naysayers in '88," agreed Scott LaBarre, president of the National Association of Blind Lawyers. "They tried to kill us, they tried to make this center fail because they didn't believe what we believe, that it is the blind themselves who need to take control of their own lives. … At first our centers were outcasts. They thought we were crazy. But the world is changing because of what we do."

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
I was attending my company Chistmas party on Friday. When the news of another mass shooting spread, the mood changed and very few of us were in a festive mood.
When I was younger, I knew there was a God but I did not understand why he consistently "allows" good people to suffer. Even now that I am a follower of the Bible, I still wrestle with my hot temper, blessing and loving my fellow man/woman when they show signs of utter stupidity and asking God - , when are you going to put a stop to all this hell on earth? I wrestle with this but I know the answers and I look forward to the time when God says enough is enough and fulfills his promises. God has reasons for what he "allows" and his reasons will be revealed in HIS time. He's the boss. Times will get tougher for the just and the unjust. We must have patience as he has patience with us - he is giving us all a chance to trust in him. We have free will and we can do with it what we choose - we hope that we make the correct choices.
I'm not a perfect Christian and never will be because I am human. I can only work at it on a daily basis and ask God to guide me through each and every day. I go to church, study the Bible and try my very best to follow God's Word (sometimes falling extremely short). I pray for the hell that the people involved in the most recent shootings have gone through and will be going through and for everyone who is affected by the sin in our world. I wish that everyone had faith and knew that there is something to look forward to - so many people do not have this and that is what leads to the suffering that everyone of us endures throughout our lives here on earth.
Whether we are strong or weak in faith, we need to all know there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. We need to look to that light.

Skip to comments.Pope Francis: The end of fortress Catholicism?
Posted on 08/03/2013 2:47:42 PM PDT by ebb tide
Something unexpected and extraordinary is happening in the Catholic Church. Pope Francis is rescuing the faith from those who hunker down in gilded cathedrals and wield doctrine like a sword. The edifice of fortress Catholicism in which progressive Catholics, gay Catholics, Catholic women and others who love the church but often feel marginalized by the hierarchy is starting to crumble.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Is he peddling "The One World Religion"?
But I repeat myself.
Don't blame it on the Post. Blame it on the USCCB.
The author, John Gehring, was an Assistant Director for Media Relations at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
OK. See tagline.
No, not the end. We are only beginning.
"And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Neither the gates of Hell nor Pope Francis will prevail against It!
A Catholic in rebellion against the Pope is a Protestant - by definition.
If you are a Catholic, your duty is to study, understand and obey the Pope. He is your teacher, you are his student.
Don't like it? Then find the courage to admit you're not a Catholic.
A question must be asked.
Why do you not accept Pope Francis?
He is a man of deep faith in Jesus.
How true. But, as a CHRISTIAN, your duty is to study, understand and obey God, as led by the Holy Spirit, through the Scriptures. He is your teacher, you are his student. Jesus Christ is your ONLY role model.
There, tally, fixed it for you...
Romans 7: 4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. ...
I am a Roman Catholic. And will obey the Pope always when he speaks ex cathedra on faith or morals.
On other matters, such as permitting homos as priests or respecting the teachings and values of Islam, I have the option to respectively disagree.
See post 13.
On other matters, such as permitting homos as priests or respecting the teachings and values of Islam, I have the option to respectively disagree.
LOL, check your catechism. You may question, but not disagree. And the Church decides WHAT you may question, and WHAT the answers to your questions are. If you reject these constraints, you are rejecting the authority of the Church. If you cannot accept the teachings, you require confession, penance, and contrition, as well as prayer about your stubbornness and ego.
YOU do not decide the teachings of the Church. You want to play it both ways - you want to choose what to follow and what not to follow, and at the same time you want to hide behind the Church's teachings and not own them as your own when that conveniences you. And you want to claim the Church supports you in this.
Hey, I don't really care what you do. But instead of being a CINO, why don't you find your integrity and just accept that you're a Protestant. Because the issue is extremely simple - obedience. Catholics are obedient, period. And to strip out the Pope and claim to be a Catholic is the very definition of hypocrity.
I am a Roman Catholic. And will obey the Pope always when he speaks ex cathedra on faith or morals. On other matters, such as permitting homos as priests or respecting the teachings and values of Islam, I have the option to respectively disagree.
Not every opinion of the pope carries the weight of Catholic doctrine.
LOL, and NO opinion of a non-Cardinal has ANY authority to reject ANYTHING the Pope teaches.
And even the Cardinals have to jump through all sorts of hoops to challenge him.
So as a non-Cardinal Catholic, you have ZERO authority to challenge the Pope on something you don't like.
" Catholics are obedient, period."
You might mention this to most of the world's catholics, which seem to ignore what they do not like - including not showing up except for weddings and funerals.
1) Catholics are Christians. They are, in fact, THE Christians.
2) "But, as a CHRISTIAN, your duty is to study, understand and obey God, as led by the Holy Spirit, through the Scriptures."
Where does the New Testament say "your duty is to study, understand and obey God, as led by the Holy Spirit, through the Scriptures." Please cite an exact verse for me with all of those facets. Thanks.
3) "Jesus Christ is your ONLY role model."
Jesus is THE role model, but not the only one: 1 Corinthians 4:9-16. You might want to read your Bible more often.
Someone is in for a shock when he learns the Pope is still Catholic.
"Some have falsely accused gay priests of causing the clergy sexual abuse crisis."
79% of the victims in the United States were boys between the ages of 11-16. There's no homosexual component to such behavior? Virtually all the priest-abusers, if not all were either homosexual or bi-sexual at the least. Most people of the homosexual orientation don't abuse children but one study found that 25% of them admitted without revealing their identities that they were involved with minors under 18.
"Pope Francis clearly rejects that ugly slander."
How tiresome it has already become how liberals interpret Francis through a liberal prism. Rarely do they actually quote him, they only interpret what he supposedly really means. Where are these people when Francis' daily homilies do nothing but preach orthodoxy and give specific examples of sins and faults we need to overcome?
I have every authority to challenge the Pope on issues which lie outside the Magisterium of the Church.
Where on earth did you get the idea that every word that comes out of the pope's mouth is infallible teaching? That's an error more common to non-Catholics. But who am I to judge?
It is common on FreeRepublic to use the Leftist media as a reliable source when what they say furthers a Freeper's agenda or sets his hair on fire.
That being said, the Holy Father could use some training in dealing with the press. He's like a bull in a china shop, bless his heart.
Um... I'm sorry, but do you know the catechism?
The reason I asked, is it spells out that what ebb tide says is particularly true:
A. Homosexuals are NOT allowed to be priests, and that by practicing homosexual sex they are sinning, and that unless they confess their sins and pay penance—which includes no more homosexual sex, they are no longer Catholics.
B. Islam is not preached against in the catechism, but the catechism states that ONLY through Jesus does any human gain salvation period. So yeah, it we may be asked to respect Islamics, we KNOW that Islam is not—and never will be—the Way. The only Way is through Jesus Christ (hold on to your hat) Our (Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox) Lord.
Those two points are straight from the catechism, which spells out Catholic doctrine.
Catholic doctrine is set by a cooperation or overlap of Bible, Apostolic teaching, and Papal authority.
All 3 must be in agreement.
To make a Doctrinal change which contradicts Scripture and Apostolic teaching (called "Holy Tradition" with a capital "T") the Pope would essentially have to single handedly re-write portions of the bible AND history.
I believe he is guided by the Holy Spirit, like many true Christian leaders are today. Therefore, he will not even attempt to make such a change. You belief may differ, but that is mine, fully stated.
What a pope can and cant change
If a pope is infallible, why cant he do anything he wants like do away with priestly celibacy?
Pope John Paul II, for example, altered the long-standing rule for electing a new pontiff from a two-thirds majority vote to a simple majority. Then Pope Benedict XVI changed it back.
But the presumption of a free-wheeling Holy Father misunderstands both infallibility and the office of the papacy.
"There are theological and logistical limits on the changes [the pope] can make," writes Ann Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "He cant create new doctrine out of thin air."
Popes are "servants of the churchs settled tradition," papal biographer George Weigel, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., told Rodgers, "not the traditions masters."
The pope can govern the church, and even overhaul the Vatican, Rodgers writes, but he "must answer to its doctrine as a [U.S.] president answers to the Constitution."
As to the popes infallibility, it is widely presumed to mean any statement or position he takes. Not so, Rodgers explains.
"In order to make an infallible declaration, a pope must clearly address the worldwide church from the throne of Peter, saying that he is defining a matter of faith or morals that every Catholic is required to assent to," the award-winning journalist writes. "The doctrine at stake must already have strong roots in tradition, have wide support from bishops and the faithful, and be compatible with Scripture."
So far, there have been only two such declarations, both involving the Virgin Mary. The first, issued in 1870, declared that Jesus mother was a product of "Immaculate Conception," meaning that she was conceived without original sin. The second, made in 1950, referred to the "Assumption of Mary," that she was taken into heaven rather than lying in a grave.
If the pope reversed traditional teachings on, say, womens ordination, Rodgers sources say, "the bishops and faithful of the world would realize he had fallen into heresy and disregard him."
Peggy Fletcher Stack
I'll be the first to say, given that line above, and then reflecting on Obama, that perhaps I shouldn't have used it in my previous post! So let me amend it:
The pope can govern the church, and even overhaul the Vatican, Rodgers writes, but he "must answer to its doctrine as a Republican [U.S.] president answers to the Constitution."
...starting to crumble.
Oh, these clowns only wish, as they continue to peddle their lies about the Church.
...the Holy Father could use some training in dealing with the press.
Amen to that. Apparently, he does not realize that they are just lying in wait, ready to pounce and distort everything he says.
I dispute this statement. The Pope does of course have the vocation to teach, govern, and sanctify as principal pastor; but so do we all, thanks to our Baptism, and according to our state in life.
However the Pope is not to be thought some sort of all-purpose oracle or master guru. His prudential judgments are not necessarily better than those of other people of similar training and experience; his grip on church administration, discipline and guidance may be very good or poor, depending on his particular talent or lack thereof; and his is in no way an innovator, but rather more a conservator of the faith which has been handed down from the Apostles.
It is good to have a filial loyalty to a good pastor, and our Popes --- in my lifetime --- have been good ones, but not perfect.
Our Savior is Jesus Christ our Lord. The Pope is servus servorum, not dominus dominorum.
Amy body that follows a man-inspried religion belongs to a cult, not to God! Christians are any people that follow God's Word and seek His face. You can post all your catechism-based drivel but it does not meet the test of FAITH in Christ. Yours is faith in men, singularly a man proclaimed to speak for God, but who is indeed just as fallible as any other man/woman.
Yours is the world's largest cult.
From Dictionary.com:
cult [kuhlt]
1. a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.
3. the object of such devotion.
4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
5. Sociology . a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.
idol worship:
the worship of idols; the worship of images that are not God
Not all the Popes have been good people. It is okay to disagree with them.
Pope Stephen VI (896897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]
Pope John XII (955964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.
Pope Benedict IX (10321044, 1045, 10471048), who "sold" the Papacy
Pope Boniface VIII (12941303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy
Pope Urban VI (13781389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]
Pope Alexander VI (14921503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]
Pope Leo X (15131521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]
Pope Clement VII (15231534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
I hate it when that happens.
Catechism of the Catholic Church = Catholic doctrine.
You wrote:
"Amy body..."
Ah, the government school education is showing.
"...that follows a man-inspried religion belongs to a cult, not to God! Christians are any people that follow God's Word and seek His face."
That's us. We follow His Word - we wrote it in fact under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit - and we seek His face.
"You can post all your catechism-based drivel but it does not meet the test of FAITH in Christ."
I posted a verse from the Bible that showed St. Paul knew he was a role model. I guess you consider the Bible drivel.
"Yours is faith in men, singularly a man proclaimed to speak for God, but who is indeed just as fallible as any other man/woman."
No, my faith is in Christ and He sent the Holy Spirit to guide the Church. Your sect latter day, recent, and man-made. It was not founded by Christ.
"Yours is the world's largest cult."
No, but the apparent desperation in that silly accusation shows you have no chance of even appearing to know anything.
Also, we don't worship Mary. She isn't God. To be a false idol, we would have to worship her as God. We don't worship her, and we know God is the Trinity.
You have failed. You will continue to do so.
And remember, St. Paul says he's a role model. You denied scripture.
In other words, someone who like those liberal priests who sneered when the Catholic Catechism was published twenty years ago.
You can disagree with the pope on some matters. What you can't do is ignore him on faith and morals.
Typical of somebody with nothing to say. You claim a superiority based on a typographical error. You also claim not to worship Mary. Both of those statements are based on faith in RC's catechism teachings.
You also revert to atypical claims of following Christ, yet you pray to Mary, do you not? Veneration is worship!
Paul's letter to the Corinthians continues:
1 Cor :16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me. 17 For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church....
Not quite the way you represent it! But, again, that is atypical...
The bad Popes strengthen my faith. They show that even if a pope's personal life is reprehensible, the Lord still won't allow him to formally teach an error in faith and morals. My faith is also strengthened by Pope Paul VI going against most of the world and probably a majority of Christendom with Humanae Vitae in 1968. Sadly, "a majority" of Christians is now most Christians.
you wrote:
"Typical of somebody with nothing to say. You claim a superiority based on a typographical error."
No, I merely pointed out the obvious. Was I wrong in my conclusion about a government school?
"You also claim not to worship Mary."
Actually, there too, I simply stated a fact. I made no claim. The fact is I do, have not, and will not, worship Mary.
"Both of those statements are based on faith in RC's catechism teachings."
No. The first comment is based on you. Again, was I wrong? Do tell. The second comment is based upon personal experience. The fact that the catechism backs up the second comment is actually irrelevant here.
"You also revert to atypical claims of following Christ,"
Revert? Atypical? Are you sure you know what "atypical" means? It wouldn't make sense to use both words on the same subject. Revert means to go back to something. Atypical means something is not typical, not expected. How can someone "go back" to what is "not expected"?
"yet you pray to Mary, do you not? Veneration is worship!"
No, veneration is not worship. As any dictionary will tell you veneration is "to honor (as an icon or a relic) with a ritual act of devotion."
"Paul's letter to the Corinthians continues: 1 Cor :16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me."
"Not quite the way you represent it!"
Actually it is EXACTLY the way I represented it. St. Paul was telling the Christians of Corinth to follow him as a role model.
"But, again, that is atypical..."
Again, I don't think you know what the word "atypical" means. You just claimed I misrepresented a verse and that that is not typical for me. I agree it isn't typical - in fact I have never misrepresented a verse - but it is hilarious that you undercut your own attempts are argument by using words you apparently don't understand. Sciolism is a sad thing. Look it up if you don't know what that is.
"LOL, check your catechism. You may question, but not disagree. And the Church decides WHAT you may question, and WHAT the answers to your questions are.
My catechism doesn't say anything about permitting the ordaining of homos; nor does it say anything about respecting the teachings and values of Islam.
Whose catechism are you reading? Rembert Weakland's? Or is it Bernadin's "Seamless Garment" catechism?
Don't address me. Address the USCCB which employed him.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Thank you.

WJC Team Russin Preview - Will + Skill
Andrey Osadchenko
December 26 2011 02:29PM
(The Nations will also be bringing you some WJC coverage now and then this holiday season. Andrey Osadchenko starts us off with an in-depth look at Team Russia)
What is the first thing that pops up in your mind when you think of Team Russia? It's their skilled and crazy fast offense, isn't it? How often would you say it has worked for Alex Ovechkin's compatriots? That's right – not so often. Something needed to be added. As we learned last season – that secret ingredient was will to fight till the end.
After a devastating loss to Team Switzerland at the World Juniors in Saskatchewan in 2010, Russia fired head-coach Vladimir Pluschev (who by the way has been out of work ever since) and hired Valery Bragin. He's been pointing out since Day 1 that he'd built his team on the power of will.
He managed to do so last year when with a combination of skill, luck and mostly incredible will Team Russia won their first WJC gold medals since 2003.
This season Bragin's intent is to do the same. Unfortunately, he had to face some obstacles that weren't really there in last year in Buffalo, NY. First of all, Russia has no obvious #1 goaltender.
Three goalies made the final cut that was announced on December the 23rd – Andrei Makarov (Saskatoon Blades, WHL), Andrei Vasilevskyi (Tolpar, Russia) and Sergei Kostenko (Kuznetskie Medvedi, Russia).
19-year-old Kostenko is the most experienced of the bunch but his performance at the recent Subway Super Series was average at most. Makarov, on the other hand, played better in the games against Team WHL, even though his stats wouldn't suggest that.
After the tournament, Russian defenseman Mikhail Naumenkov admitted he was more comfortable on the ice in the games Makarov appeared in.
Vasilevskyi is whole other story. A Tyumen native is 6'3 and he's only 17 years of age. The most interesting part of his biography is that he has already played at two U18 IIHF World Championships. If he continues at this pace, he's going to set a record for Russian goalies – no one before him had appeared at three U18 and three U20 World Championships.
Vasilevskyi is very likely to go the distance.
Also, last year Russia had Dmitri Orlov providing some stability at the blue line along with a scoring touch. This time Bragin will be forced to live without such a guy. Besides, Russian defensive line lost 2 key players in Red Wings' prospect Alexei Marchenko and Roman Rukavishnikov, who broke his collar bone at the end of the Subway Super Series.
Although Russian defensemen appear to be of a small stature, they are hard to intimidate. Au contraire, as they showed in a pre-tournament game against Team USA, which Russia won 6:3, Viktor Antipin and his fellow d-men can throw their bodies around. Shocking as it seems, it's a fact. Just ask the Americans who finished that game with a fair share of bruises.
Russia's opponents should be extra careful when Ildar Isangulov is on the ice. The Ufa native is 6'3 and weighs 227 pounds. He may not be a great skater, but when he lands a hit, you feel it. The other guy to look out for is Bolts' prospect Nikita Nesterov. If there is anybody similar to Orlov on this team, it's definitely him.
As for offense, Russia may have brought more skilled guys this season than they had previously in Buffalo. Nail Yakupov and Mikhail Grigorenko will most likely go in the Top-5 at the next NHL Entry draft.
Ivan Telegin already signed with the Jets and is in his pick condition; Alex Khokhlachev one of the best players on the Windsor Spitfires this season and Evgeny Kuznetsov is definitely the next big Russian in the NHL and the only returnee from last year's team. He's also going to be a captain for Team Russia.
The only real loss that Russians have suffered up front is the reigning Memorial Cup champion Stanislav Galiev of the Saint John Sea Dogs. They almost lost Panthers' prospect Yaroslav Kosov who was in a car accident early in November but he managed to recover quickly enough.
Yakupov is also reported to be fully recovered after injuring his back a few weeks ago.
It came as a big surprise that Bragin let go another Bolts' prospect Vladislav Namestnikov, but it has been reported he came to camp with a minor injury and never told anybody.
As a result, he was put on some practice drills he shouldn't have been in his condition and severed the injury. This was probably one of the reasons he didn't look better than the other guys he was competing for a spot on the team with.
Nevertheless, doesn't it look scary when a team can afford to lose a guy like Namestnikov with little or no regrets?
One can be fairly certain that this year's edition of Team Russia is, at least, very much comparable to Buffalo'11 squad. They, too, have will. However, it looks like they have more skiil.
The Russians are going to begin the journey to WJC gold with this line-up:
Goalies: Andrey Makarov, Andrey Vaselivskyi
Defense: Antipin-Isangulov, Nesterov-Zheldakov, Arzamatsev-Sergeev, Naumenkov-Ozhiganov
Offense: Barbashev-Apalkov-Kuznetsov, Gusev-Grigorenko-Kucherov, Telegin-Khokhlachev-Yakupov, Zemchenko-Kulikov-Kosov.
- Russia has 6 reigning MHL (Russian Junior Hockey League) champions – Nikita Gusev, Nikita Kucherov, Mikhail Naumenkov, Igor Ozhiganov, Sergei Barbashev and Mikhail Grigorenko - Gusev-Grigorenko-Kucherov line was one of the best 'young' lines in the MHL last season.
-The Gusev, Kucherov and Ozhiganov played on Belye Medvedi three years ago, which is a Junior-B team in Moscow. Normally players of their caliber begin their careers on bigger clubs.
- Gusev and Kucherov led the Subway Super Series with 7 points in 6 games.
- Daniil Apalkov and Viktor Antipin were MHL champions in the 2009/10 season.
- Kuznetsov ascribed Russia's win in Buffalo to a 'fartozhopost' factor. 'Fartozhopost' literally means 'lucky ass-ness'. Ever since then the term became wildly popular in Russia.
- Daniil Apalkov was a captain for Team Russia at the Subway Super Series. Sergei Barbashev was a captain of Red Army that won the MHL championship last season.
- Barbashev's name is pronounced as 'Barba-SHOFF'. As he stated in one of his interviews, the guy who gave his grandmother her passport made a spelling mistake, which is hard to correct now.
- Ignat Zemchenko's father – Sergei - was a well-known player in Soviet Union. He later immigrated to Spain where his older son – Igor – plays now.
They won't expect Canada to slow down this year after the fist or 2nd period
Well done, Big Worm. Blocked my natural FISTing hat trick.
December 27 2011, 12:22AM
Hey Andrey,
Thanks very much for the update. Entertaining and informative read. It's cool to see what's going on over with our traditional rivals :)
Was at the Swiss game tonight. The whole team looked good, but if I had to pick one guy who stood out (other than the goalie), Evgeny Kuznetsov looked great all game. I am intimidated by him.
Video was great by the way.
December 28 2011, 08:27AM
Obviously the key for Russia is for one of the players to try to pretend to be dead, and then coming back and playing the best period of his entire life.
Either he was risking his career/life and nobody stopped him, or else he was manipulating the circumstances of the game beyond the acceptable level of the occasional dive. Either way it sent a terrible message.
And yes, I'm still bitter.

Becoming a Sitting Referee
At this time, Volleyball Canada does not have a domestic program in place for Sitting Volleyball. The hope of the National Referee Committee is to have a strategic plan created within the coming year (2012-2013), to better service the Sitting community in Canada.
Internationally, there does however exist a development structure to certify International Referees. The World Organisation Volleyball for Disabled (WOVD) is responsible for all Sitting Referees. Their main requirements include:
- Already being a active qualified able-bodied National Referee in Canada
- Successfully completing the WOVD International Referee Course
- Not having reached your 45th birthday on the first day of the WOVD Course
For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Energy Tips for Travelers: Finding Cheap Energy Wherever You Go written by Guest Author for BillCutterz Money Saving Blog.
Saving money whenever possible is important to most people, but many overlook ways to save money that are less obvious. For instance, have you considered how you can save money on your electricity bill?� Monthly expenses like electricity can feel rote, but reevaluating energy costs from time to time is a good idea � there are often ways to save that you would not have considered.
Budgeting For Energy
Getting a great deal always feels great, so make sure you are not overlooking major ways to save.� In addition, energy prices are variable depending on the country and region you are living in.� Many people find the added cost shocking and unexpected when they make a big move.� Because energy prices can be so significant, they should always be a consideration when you budget.
Green energy is becoming more important as the years wear on and we experience the effects of draining planetary resources.� And because energy is a cost that you will incur no matter where you live, thinking about how you use energy, the ways you pay for energy, and how to save money whenever you can is something everybody should think about.
Energy Saving Tips for Travelers
Travelers who spend a significant amount of time in other countries can find ways to save on energy as well.� Just because you are on a budget does not mean you should not be able to travel, see the world, and enjoy life.� It just means you need to be extra aware of how you spend. When you are on a budget, considering ways to manage your money and save means you have to spend more time planning, not paying.� Travelers may not necessarily think to compare energy prices, but finding cheap electricity is harder than ever, depending on where you are traveling, so some forethought is needed in order to find the best deal.
Why Considering Energy Prices Is So Important?
Energy prices are extremely variable.� For example, energy prices in Australia are about 70 percent higher than American energy prices, meaning that paying for energy is a significant cost that has the potential to drastically affect how you live your life.� And the new carbon tax means this number is even higher.� So planning an extended Australian getaway, study abroad trip, or a move means that you should also plan for spending more on energy.� Do not let this deter your plans, just put a little more thought into how you can save. Travelers know that planning ahead and budgeting is an important part of planning a successful trip or move.� It is never pleasant to be surprised by expenses.� Instead, it pays to know what to expect and be able to plan accordingly.
How to Combat High Energy Prices
If you make the move in the short or long term to somewhere like Australia where energy prices are significantly higher than American or Canadian prices, keep some of these tips in mind to help minimize or offset some of the added energy costs.
Shop Around For Cheap Electricity
As with almost everything, comparing energy and electricity prices and shopping around for the best deal is the very best way to go. There are many energy companies in competition for your business, and going with the default government energy option can actually cost more.� Compare several options before you make a decision. Take a close look at contracts and ways that you can save like discounts for timely payments, who offers the best service in your area, whether rates are fixed or variable, if you can manage your account online, and what your options regarding renewable energy are.
Save By Using Renewable Energy with Electricity Buy Back Programs
Another way to take advantage of energy savings is by participating in energy buy back programs put in place by the government.� Programs called feed-in tariffs are meant to encourage households to use small-scale renewable energy systems like solar power, or wind or water systems that harness natural energy to heat and power your home.� When your renewable energy system produces an excess of energy � more than you use in a given month� it feeds back into the grid and you are reimbursed for that energy. Depending on the region you live in, the programs available to you might vary and you must apply for these programs, which you can do through your energy company. Doing a little investigation ahead of time can really pay off if you are planning a move or an extended trip!
Revisiting how you think about monthly expenses like energy and electricity is a very good idea in order to maximize the way you save.� Frugal spenders may think about ways to get the most out of other services, but many do not realize that shopping around for the best cheap electricity is an option.� So take a look at your energy bill, compare energy prices with rates from other companies, and look at ways you can save or benefit from competitive prices or benefits programs from alternate companies.
Theresa Stanton is a freelance writer and editor who enjoys researching and writing articles that can help consumers find more ways to live life to the fullest while saving money.� She has researched different energy options for travelers and the best ways to find cheap electricity no matter where you are.

I Never Write Reviews, However I Felt Compelled To Do So.I am a beautiful african american woman, with shoulder length hair. My hair is dyed blonde, with blonde highlights. I have a keratin treatment, which as of the last two applications seems to only last one month. The treatment is very pricey, and I expect a better result. I'm not sure if Coppola changed their formula, however my results aren't as long lasting as they were last year. Anyhow, I do appreciate the fact that keratin has allowed me to get color, however now I'm stuck. I can't go back to a relaxer because of the color. During my quest to find an at home keratin product to use between treatments at the salon, I came across glowing reviews for the Intense RX Serum. I was skeptical, however I can attest to its strength. I've used it twice while at the salon, the first time right after shampooing without conditioner, the second time after conditioner. The outcome was the same, a great result. My hair straightened right out after blow drying and flat ironing. I also put it through rigorous motions by attending several outdoor events when humidity was super high, my hair remained in tact. I planned on using the product during every salon visit, however a stylist advised against overuse, because too much protein can break one's hair. I appreciate the advice, and will use the product as needed.Jul 14, 2013India S. / Detroit, MIHAIR TYPEBlonde / Thick or Coarse Hair

Great Boost After Having The Big Treatment DoneI had the $250 Keratin Complex treatment in the salon about two months ago. It was FABULOUS for my frizzes (not a straightener, but a smoother and non-frizzer), but it had started to wear off. I used the restructuring serum on towel-dried hair (probably 4-5 pumps of it), used a blow dryer and vented paddle brush, and flat-iron, and it really re-vamped the treatment. I think I can go a couple of more months before the "BIG" salon treatment again. I used it for two consecutive shampoos (3-4 pumps on the 2nd time I used it), then didn't need it for my latest shampoo. I think I'll use it intermittently (probably every other shampoo) until the new treatment is done. I have curly (tight curls), colored, shoulder-length hair, when straightened; thin individual strands but lots of them!Dec 12, 2012Jolyn W. / United StatesHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Didn't Work As Well As I ExpectedI prefer to not use a flat iron, but the result isn't as good blow drying only. This DID help with the frizz, however, I still had to pass the flat iron through my hair day two and three...Oct 17, 2012Kimberly / FloridaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

Perfect For Humid StatesLet me start off by saying that I am a tough critic and I rarely write reviews because I don't think it's worth my time but because of the price of this product, I figured i"d let people know that it really is worth the money
To start off, I have never had a real Keratin treatment, so it does work on hair that hasn't been previously treated with Keratin. However, it has to be used everytime you shampoo because the shampoo will strip most of the keratin from your hair.
The reason I purchased this product was because I moved to a really humid state and I just couldn't manage or style my hair. I have thin but healthy hair and previously had it permed, so when it is humid, it does this weird curl thing. No matter how much product I put in my hair, I just coulldn't get it to stay straight or to stop frizz. This product is literally magic. It makes your hair so soft and completely stops frizz and the weird behavior that humiidty causes. You do have to blow dry and straigthen your hair in order for it to work, but boy does it work. Use VERY little because if you use too much, it will make your hair too soft and flat. Because of how thin my hair is, I used it in conjunction with a thickening creme and it worked really well. The only downside is that, my hair at least, won't hold a curl when I use this product because of how soft it is. But, when I straighten it and curl it under, it looks AMAZING.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to soften their hair or want to be able to manage unruly hair in humid climates.Aug 14, 2012Holly S. / RaleighHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

So Skeptical At First!I never spend this much money on a hair product but my hair was so damaged from coloring and blowing it dry every day that I splurged. I received it two days ago. I used it immediately and saw no change in my hair. I used it again today and was kicking myself for wasting my money. I suddenly realized that I'd been outside in 95 degree, humid weather for a over two hours, working up a sweat, and my hair didn't frizz at all! Normally my hair frizzes if I THINK about humid weather. I'm a believer.Jun 29, 2012KathyHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Keratin ComplexThis product is wonderful. It is like having a Keratin treatment every time you wash your hair. If you add the pink Keratin Infusion in addition the effect is even better. After the blowout my hair was straight, silky and frizz free. I may not need a salon treatment for a year.May 1, 2012LucyHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

My Hair Transformed After One UseMy hair is course, dyed and weak. After one use, my hair is soft, my ends look great and I barely had to use my flat iron. Great Product. Also, people have been writing that this was recalled by AUSTRALIA gov. recently. I checked into that and it was recalled if you purchased it between JULY 2010 AND FEBRUARY 2011. www.recalls.gov.au is the website.
I will call company to make sure that I do not have one of the bottles recalled but I doubt I do since I just purchased it last week.Apr 22, 2012Peggy / PhiladelphiaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Supergirl Mixtapes by Meagan Brothers
Young Adult
Hardcover, 245 pgs.
Expected Publication: April 24th, 2012 by Henry Holt & Co.
Source: NetGalley & Henry Holt & Co.
After years of boredom in her rural South Carolina town, Maria is thrilled when her father finally allows her to visit her estranged artist mother in New York City. She's ready for adventure, and she soon finds herself immersed in a world of rock music and busy streets, where new people and ideas lie around every concrete corner. This is the freedom she's always longed for—and she pushes for as much as she can get, skipping school to roam the streets, visit fancy museums, and flirt with the cute clerk at a downtown record store.
But just like her beloved New York City, Maria's life has a darker side. Behind her mother's carefree existence are shadowy secrets, and Maria must decide just where—and with whom—her loyalty lies.
This book was full of awesome that I totally loved! It also had some things that I felt really needed to be developed more as well. But when I finished the book I felt happy and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed it.
Maria moves to NYC to live with her mom and her moms boyfriend who is only six years older then Maria. Maria's mother has always been absent and she hasn't seen her since she was very young. She knows that her mom is a bit flighty and has some issues but she doesn't really understand them or know what they really are until she's living with her. And it's not really until the last quarter or so that we really see what the issues really are (other then her being obsessed with music and not very present for her daughter).
I liked the characters in the book. I liked their personalities and all that but I never felt really wow'd by them. I don't really have a lot to say about them actually. Maria's mom was a bit neurotic so I can picture her the best because her personality came out the strongest. Her moms boyfriend Travis is a good friend to Maria and I think he could have used a bit more character development and stood out just a bit more. He was important to the story but didn't quite POP like he could have. But I liked him and I just wanted more.
Graham was the love interest but I never really felt anything toward him. He really felt like a side character and not important. And he wasn't real terrible important but Maria has feelings for him and I just never felt it.
Okay, so it seems like things have been kind of negative so far but I honestly did enjoy the book. The thing I really liked the most was the time period and the setting. Maria is the same age as me which makes the book take place in the 90's. There was so much I connected with. It was only briefly mentioned but Maria's grief over Kurt Cobains death (OMG! That was HUGE for me!), and Maria was teased for wearing JNCO's (remember those?! I wore them!). And for those of you who don't know, they are huge saggy pants. The kind where the pockets are at your ankles (practically anyway 😉 The music scene, the grunge scene, all that stuff- I so totally connected! The setting of NYC was absolutely fantastic! I would have LOVED this book as a teen. I wanted to move to NYC so freaking bad! I was happy to just read about Maria's experiences in the city but I really was wishing for more conflict, more to move the plot along a bit. In the last quarter it really did move along and suddenly the story itself was absolutely terrific. But then it just ended. I didn't feel like we really got the full conclusion to everything like I would have liked. At the same time I kind of 'get' why the author ended it there though. We can come up with our own conclusions I suppose. I'm just a fan of everything getting wrapped up and that's a personal preference.
Overall I enjoyed the book. I think that if things had been a bit more developed this would be a 5 star book for me. I also have to mention that for those who didn't grow up in the 90's and experience those things probably won't enjoy the book that much. There is TONS of music talk and if your not familiar with the scene it'll go right over your head. So, if your ready for some 90's nostalgia, go read it!
3/5 stars

Goodnight everyone, and have a classically childlike weekend!
"Plato once said '...music is a more potent instrument than any other for education...' Now scientists know why. Music, they believe, trains the brain for higher forms of thinking. After eight months of musical training, 3 year olds were expert puzzle masters, scoring 80% higher than their playmates did in spatial intelligence - the ability to visualize the world accurately."
From The Barnbridge of Music in the UK's website
It's Friday night. Time to unwind with our regular Friday night feature on This Just In.
The weekend has finally arrived.
The sun is about to set.
The evening sky will erupt.
Let's smooth our way into Saturday and Sunday.
Exposing children to Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn and Mendelssohn at a young age can boost their concentration and self-discipline according to a study published earlier this year. Sue Hallam of London's Institute of Education found that opportunities to listen extensively to classical music in the early years of primary school are likely to lead to children appreciating a wider range of music in later years.

Let's return to that study we referenced earlier.
Sue Hallam, a professor of education and music psychology, evaluated a program developed by Apollo Music Projects that introduces classical music and its composers to pupils aged seven to 10. She said the project "leads to enhanced listening skills and the development of other skills necessary for careful listening to take place including concentration and self-discipline."
The program Hallam studied brings live classical music to children who might not otherwise experience it. During the course of the project children listened to a range of music from a selection of well-known classical composers including Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Ravel, Shostakovich and Mendelssohn.
"For some of the children the program was inspirational. The children's positive reactions suggest that they were 'open-eared' and had not developed prejudices against classical music," said Hallam.
The Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Zubin Mehta
Hallam: "We know that preferences for music are affected by the extent to which individuals are exposed to them, the greater the exposure the greater the liking. Opportunities to listen extensively to classical music in the early years of primary school are therefore likely to lead to children appreciating a wider range of music than might otherwise be the case."
The process of listening to live classical repertoire, according to the study we've highlighted, enabled children to enhance their listening skills and develop other skills needed for careful listening, including concentration and self-discipline.
Wonderful. But must we be so serious all the time?
When I worked in radio I had the opportunity to meet and question Liberace during a news conference he held on the VA grounds in West Allis. I recall an interview he did with Bob Edwards, at that time the morning host for NPR's "Morning Edition." Liberace conceded he had his purist critics, but that didn't bother him. He attributed his popularity in part to his approach to classical music saying, "I took out the boring parts."
David Chernaik, the director of the program studied by Hallam said, "We have consistently found that when classical music is presented in the right way children have a direct and positive response, and that as trust grows between the children and the musicians we can take them further. By the time they hear a full orchestra their level of concentration and enjoyment is amazing to see."
Mary Igoe, a former teacher who was involved with the program added, "For many of the children it is the first time they have experienced musicians playing classical music before their eyes. There is delight as the sound fills their own classroom and excitement when they attend a public concert. The skills of careful listening and differentiating musical sounds transfer to other areas of the curriculum and improve their ability to concentrate and attend to details."
It's interesting to note that a previous study in 2012 by Ofsted found that music was not being taught often enough in almost two thirds of state primary and secondary schools in England. Inspectors warned that lessons were "dominated by the spoken or written word, rather than by musical sounds," with "too much focus on talking or written exercises."
That's it for this week.
Sleep well.
Have a great weekend.
And play some classical for your children.
Closer to home, earlier this week: Link Up is a partnership between the Milwaukee Symphony and local schools. Students in grade 3-5 learn simple orchestra songs, then at a concert at the Marcus Center in Milwaukee, play recorders and sing along with the symphony.

AUBURN — A former New York Times and Sports Illustrated reporter alleges Auburn committed a variety of NCAA violations during the 2010 BCS National Championship season.
Selena Roberts, an Auburn alum, writes in a story on Roopstigo, a website she founded, that Auburn committed a variety of NCAA violations including payment of players and changing grades in 2012. Based on interaction with former Auburn safety Mike McNeil, one of four former Tigers who were arrested for an armed robbery in 2011, and "more than a dozen players" from the BCS title team including Neiko Thorpe, Darvin Adams and Mike Blanc, Roberts reports players had grades changed, were provided with money and "more than 40" tested positive for drugs after the title game.
McNeil, who is set to appear at status hearing at the Lee Country Justice Center on Thursday afternoon though his attorney Ben Hand withdrew from the case on Tuesday, according to the Opelika-Auburn News, is quoted as saying "it's a business and there are players on the payroll." A call to Hand's office Wednesday afternoon was not answered.
An Auburn athletics spokesman said the school "will not have a comment regarding the claims in the story," claims which have already been denied by several players Roberts quotes, including Blanc and Daren Bates.
Blanc responded on twitter "Man this article is outrageous and isn't true. The media will do anything for a juicy story."
McNeal and Blanc allege they were told as many as nine players including running back Mike Dyer would be ineligible for the 2010 title game due to academic ineligibility though Dyer is not quoted in the story. McNeil says he had a grade changed in a computer science class from "an F to a C."
McNeil is quoted as saying he was offered "about $400" by then-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, after a 2007 practice. Muschamp, now the head coach at Florida, denied payment through a spokesman in the story and a Florida spokesman reiterated the denial when contacted by the Advertiser on Wednesday.
Roberts goes on to report McNeil and Blanc as saying Adams was offered "several thousand dollars" to stay for his senior year.
"It was sugar-coated in a way," Adams says in the story. "It was like, we'll do this and that for you. But I'd rather do things the right way. I am happy I didn't say yes to that stuff. That's what I'd tell kids."
McNeil says in the story he was given $500 to entertain Dre Kirkpatrick, a then top recruit in 2008. The NCAA permits $50 or less a day to be spent by student-athlete recruiters on visiting players. Kirkpatrick attended Alabama and is now a cornerback for the Cincinnati Bengals. An email to a Bengals spokesman was not immediately returned.
Thorpe, now a cornerback for the Kansas City Chiefs, is quoted as saying, "Auburn does whatever Auburn wants."
Roberts reports "dozens of players were being randomly drug tested internally" prior to the BCS title game and "more than 40" tested positive afterward. Antoine Carter is quoted as saying former coach Gene Chizik "didn't like anyone who didn't fit a certain image" and "if you were black and had dreadlocks and tattoos, you were somehow tested more in what was called random testing."
McNeil and his mother Melodie Campbell describe in the story how he was cut off from his former teammates following his arrest along with Dakota Mosley, Shaun Kitchens and Antonio Goodwin in 2011. Though McNeil, whose trial is scheduled to begin on Monday, has maintained his innocence, Goodwin was found guilty last year and is serving 15 years.
"I wanted to talk to my brother," Thorpe says in the story. "I'm sure, with all that was going on, he felt betrayed."
Crepea also writes for the Montgomery Advertiser, a Gannett property.
