In anticipation of his company's 30th anniversary,
Jorge Morales wanted to leave a legacy as he prepared to hand over the reins of
the family business to his son, Michael. He chose the University of North
Florida as the way to establish that legacy and help countless students for
generations to come.
Morales, chairman and CEO of Information
and Computing Services, decided to create an endowment to fund a scholarship
that his company has been providing on an annual basis for the last five years.
The scholarship is for juniors and seniors majoring in computing and information
But the scholarship goes much deeper than
merely marking an anniversary. It also helps guarantee a potential source of
ingenuity and innovation for his Jacksonville company in the future.
Morales recalled a time when the company
primarily hired new employees with previous experience. When it became harder
and harder to find such workers in a tight job market, the company turned to
UNF interns.
"We realized we needed to change the way
we were recruiting new employees and find a different talent pool," Morales
said. "UNF provided us with students with the right skills, the right attitude
and the right maturity level. It has really paid off handsomely for us."
Today the company, which specializes in
wireless, mobile and enterprise software, employs more than 100 workers, including
nine UNF graduates. Many of these alumni have been recipients of the company's
previous scholarships.
One such scholarship recipient is Brandon
Parker, a 2008 graduate who has been working with the company since graduation.
Parker is involved in various software
development projects and is referred to as "The Sponge" around the company's
offices because he absorbs new technology so quickly. He recently developed an
iPhone application that can be used in warehouses to scan barcodes. It only
took him two days.
"ICS has been a great experience because
of all the opportunities I've had to advance my knowledge and learn new
technologies," Parker said. "In a smaller company such as ICS, you're able to
wear many different hats and explore different areas."
Stories such as Parker's illustrate the
symbiotic relationship between the company and the University.
"UNF is filling a wonderful role for our
company," Morales says. "We could think of no better way to continue to
facilitate that process than through an endowed scholarship."
Dr. Mark Tumeo, dean of the College of
Computing, Engineering and Construction, said the benefits of the collaboration
go beyond the scholarship.
"UNF works with companies such as ICS to
ensure that our students have both the theoretical knowledge and hands-on
experience needed to allow them to become productive, valuable employees
immediately upon graduation," he said. "This type of public-private partnership
is what will help grow Jacksonville's economy and allow our industries to
compete successfully in an ever increasing global market."
Even after Morales hands off day-to-day
operations to his son, he plans to remain chairman of the company so he can
watch the continually blossoming relationship between ICS and UNF.
"We fully support what UNF is doing in
the community and its role in providing outstanding graduates to fuel
businesses such as ours."

Defendant was given approval to take trip to California
STEUBENVILLE – One of two Steubenville High School defendants in a rape case pending in Jefferson County Juvenile Court was allowed to travel to California last week, a court official has confirmed.
Malik Richmond, 16, who was released to the care of Jennifer and Gregory Agresta of Steubenville, was granted permission to travel to California with the Agrestas from Dec. 31 through Jan. 5, juvenile court reported.
One of the Agrestas' sons was selected in the fall to participate in an all-American football game in California, the juvenile court official said. The selection was made prior to Richmond being released into the care of the Agrestas in early November, the court official said.
Attorney Walter Madison asked visiting Judge Tom Lipps to allow Richmond to travel with the Agrestas. Lipps then gave permission.
The court official said the court knew the whereabouts of Richmond while he was in California. Richmond checked back in with the court when he returned, and Richmond resumed house arrest in the Agresta household, the court official said.
Richmond and Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale are facing a rape charge in connection with an incident that occurred during the overnight hours of Aug. 11-12 and involved a girl who witnesses said was highly intoxicated. Mays also faces a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.
The trial for the defendants is scheduled to begin on Feb. 13 in the Jefferson County Justice Center. Lipps has ruled the case will remain in juvenile court and not be transferred to adult court.
The case has drawn the attention of the national media.
The Agrestas were on the "Today" show on Tuesday with Madison discussing the case.
The judge also released Mays to his parents.
Both juveniles are on electronically monitored house arrest and only allowed to leave the home for school and church. Richmond and Mays will attend the juvenile court alternative school. Lipps said he didn't want the juveniles to have contact with fellow students who have testified or may testify in the future.
The juveniles also were ordered not to have contact with the victim.

Witnessing a way of life for recent San Antonio graduate Cruzan
SAN ANTONIO – Banking may be his business, but Russell Cruzan will likely tell anyone who asks that ministry is his life. Cruzan, who graduated from Wayland Baptist University-San Antonio with a Master of Christian Ministry degree on Feb. 19, received the First Baptist Church of San Antonio Award as the outstanding graduate student receiving a degree in religion.
The award is based on a student's characteristics, including worship, willingness to learn and teach God's Word, missions, service to others and their impact on the world around them.
Cruzan, a member of Beth Ha Tikvah Messianic Congregation in San Antonio, says his ministry is just a part of his everyday life.
"I take witnessing as an extension of my social interaction," Cruzan said. "A long time ago, I tried the approach where I just walked up and started talking to people. I have had zero results with that. Some people seem able to do it, but I'm not one of them. I just haven't mastered that concept."
Instead, Cruzan brings his faith into his job and his volunteer work around the community.
"I have heard a lot of wise people over the years say that when people know who you are and know you care about them, that begins to do things from a witnessing standpoint that you can't do any other way," Cruzan said. "I've discovered in my life that is true. Whether it is at work or with children, it is really a matter of playing with them, getting to know them and letting them get to know you. Letting them see that you are just a regular person, but maybe with something that they could use and that they really need for this life as well as the life to come."
Cruzan, who was raised Baptist, joined the Messianic congregations with his wife, Gwen, in 1997. He serves as the director of adult education as well as the head deacon. Cruzan said that although he attends a Messianic church, he is not Jewish.
"A Messianic congregation is not just for Jewish people," he said. "It is a congregation for anyone who is a believer in Jesus. We just worship in a Jewish context."
Cruzan, who has been involved in lay ministry since the mid 1980s, said completing his MCM degree will be a great benefit to his work and his ministry. He felt pursuing the degree was something he needed to do to fulfill his obligation to God.
"I woke up one day and said, 'Yikes, I'm almost 40.' I just decided that I wanted to get my education affairs in order," Cruzan said. "I literally woke up saying I want to serve the Lord and I have unfinished business that is tied to my ministry initiatives and aspirations and what I think the Lord would have me do, and I need to get that done."
Cruzan had seen an advertisement for Wayland, but didn't think the school offered a religion degree. It wasn't until he ran into a graduate at a pastor friend's barbecue that Cruzan seriously looked at Wayland.
"A Wayland student who was just graduating was talking to the pastor about his graduation," Cruzan said. "I had seen the advertisement, but at the time I thought there was no religion department. I said, 'It's a Baptist university, but they don't have a religion department.' He said, 'Yes they do.' So, I ordered a catalog and the rest was history."
Growing up Baptist, Cruzan was familiar with Baptist doctrine. He embraced the education and has encouraged other members of his congregation seeking religious, faith-based education to try Wayland.
"That's quite an accomplishment," he grinned, "because there are some false stigmas floating around out there about what Baptist people are about. I try to dispel that as much as I can."
While a master's degree in Christian ministry may not improve his standing as a training officer with the International Bank of Commerce, Cruzan said he can apply much of what he has learned not only to his ministry but to his career as well.
"I develop people as well as training classes and materials, and I teach," he said. "Because so much of what we do in ministry is in front of people and is preparation and delivery of sermons or classes, obviously this ties right in with what I do career-wise as well."
While Cruzan wants to continue his education and at some point begin work toward a doctorate, he said he is going to take a break from the books for awhile.
"I'm in a wait-and-see mode," he said. "I've been very excited about being involved with the school these years, but frankly, I'm tired."
Cruzan said going to school full-time, working full-time and performing some "quasi full-time ministry" can really take its toll on a person. Besides that, he figures it's his turn to focus on work and ministry while his wife pursues her degree, beginning next semester.
"She's smarter than I am," he said, "so she's going to study business and accounting."

Government Buys Grape Juice, Farm Bill Passes
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), at the request of Washington Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, have announced a $11.5 million nationwide purchase of Concord grape juice that will provide stability for a critical state agriculture industry.
Due to consecutive, exceptionally strong crop years, farmers expressed concerns that a large excess in Concord grape supplies could cause the price of juice grapes to plummet and significantly harm one of Washington's premier agriculture industries.
- The Endangered Species Act Congressional Working Group has released its final report.
The report reflects hundreds of comments from outside individuals and testimony from nearly 70 witnesses who appeared before a Working Group forum and House Natural Resources Committee hearings. The report recommends constructive changes to the ESA including more transparency, reduced litigation and local empowerment.
- The Senate has passed their version of the farm bill 68-32 and it now heads to the President's desk for his signature.

It has nothing to do with dissing the Yankees, but getting himself motivated. Martinez is one of those athletes who seeks the outside motivator. To be taunted tonight in Game 2 – "who's your daddy?" – is what he lives for. Martinez relishes being booed. He has a me-against-the-world mentality.
Yesterday was for show, for fueling his competitive juices. Martinez is no longer the dominating figure who could back up the bravado with performance. Martinez is no longer the Cy Young Award winner who, when asked about the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, said: "I'm starting to hate talking about the Yankees. The questions are so stupid. They're wasting my time. It's getting kind of old … I don't believe in damn curses. Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I'll drill him in the ass, pardon me the word."
Just as he gets by more on guile than his fastball on the mound, Martinez isn't in position to boast anymore, so he played the misunderstood, scorned role. It's how he built his competitive fire for Game 2 tonight when he starts against A.J. Burnett with the objective of giving the Phillies a 2-0 games lead and a grip on the World Series when it heads to Philadelphia Saturday.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel tabbed the mercenary Martinez because of his ability to handle the pressure of Yankee Stadium. Martinez played his relationship with Yankees fans for all it was worth.
"I don't know if you realize this, but because of you guys in some ways, I might be at times the most influential player that ever stepped in Yankee Stadium. I can honestly say that," Martinez said. "I have all the respect in the world for the way they enjoy being fans. Sometimes they might be giving you the middle finger, just like they will be cursing you and telling you what color underwear you're wearing."
Martinez also used the Zimmer brawl to his advantage. He said regrets the brawl and deflected blame by saying it wasn't his fault, conveniently forgetting the fastball that hit Karim Garcia. That game also featured the snapshot of Martinez jawing with Jorge Posada while pointing his finger to his head. Martinez's version was he was telling Posada to think, that he wasn't throwing intentionally at the Yankees.
The Yankees' version is different, saying he was warning Posada of what might happen next.
"It was an ugly scene," Martinez said. "Zim charged me and I think he's going to say something, but his reaction was totally the opposite, (he) was trying to punch my mouth and told me a couple of bad words about my mom. I just had to react and defend myself.
"It was something that we have to let go kind of, and forget about it, because it was a disgrace for baseball. Even though it wasn't my fault, I was involved in it, and it's one of the moments that I don't like to see. I don't like to see it because I'm not a violent man."
Zimmer told reporters "Pedro is full of crap."
To get the crowd fired up against Martinez, as if motivation was needed, it would have been interesting if Zimmer was on hand to throw out the first pitch. That's my theatric side, but I know it wouldn't happen.
Then, in an orchestrated gesture to avoid bad mouthing the Yankees, Martinez laid it all on the media, saying the New York press used and abused him. He spoke of how none of the media ever broke bread with him and got to know him a man, as if that were ever a possibility.
Scorned in the Bronx, Queens loved Martinez during his four-year, injury-plagued tenure with the Mets. Martinez was disappointed in not being offered the kind of contract he wanted with the Mets, but in the end walked away with $53 million. Martinez went 15-8 in 31 starts his first year with the Mets in 2005, but won only 17 games and made just 48 starts over the next three seasons.
Of course, beating the Yankees tonight also acts as a reminder to the Mets they made a mistake – in Martinez's mind – for letting him go. The Yankees, the Mets, the press, Zimmer, the crowd, yes, Martinez will use them all to prepare himself psychologically and emotionally for tonight.
"I'm excited," Martinez said. "I'm going to prepare, yeah, maybe, as another game, but deep down I know what it's about. I know how real it is, and I don't want to change it."

A Fall Restaurant Guide for New Orleans
café b
(page 1 of 3)
Between new restaurant openings and new offerings at old local favorites, 2013 has seen many changes in the New Orleans culinary scene. As the season changes, so do the ingredients, and so does the focus of many regional chefs. Here is a look at what's new around town this fall.
As to casual dining, the owners of Rivershack Tavern recently ventured into the CBD with the newly opened Warehouse Grille on the corner of Magazine and St. Joseph streets. Featuring a pub-style, family friendly restaurant and an expansive outdoor patio/courtyard, Warehouse Grille satisfies diners looking to kick back with friends as well as families looking for a fun, casual night out.
The menu, designed by chef Donald Julien, takes New Orleans pub grub up a notch with creative dishes such as lamb springs rolls appetizer (lamb and vegetables stuffed inside spring rolls and served with a homemade apple mint sauce) and the Tuna St. Julien small plate (medium rare tuna filet served with julienne vegetables and topped with a poblano rouille and a side of Crystal butter).
"My personal favorite is the eggplant Napoleon," says Julien, whose previous experience includes Executive Chef at Messina's and Director of Food & Beverage at the Hilton. The savory not-so-small plate is composed of layered fried eggplant with an eggplant stuffing, topped with shrimp and a roasted red pepper sabayon sauce.
Warehouse Grille also features 40 beers on tap, daily specials, brunch on weekends and live music on the patio every Friday night. Parents looking for a lively weekend dinner spot are more than welcome to bring the kids to this new downtown gem.
A Commander's family restaurant, SoBou ("South of Bourbon") continues to make waves as it enters its second year of business in the French Quarter. Chef Juan Carlos and bar chef Abigail Gullo, along with Commander's Palace executive chef Tory McPhail and wine guy Dan Davis hosted dinner at the legendary James Beard House in September, and this month SoBou continues celebrating both the local and national community with happy hour events for both 504ward and the Young Leadership Council.
SoBou's "Happier Hour" menu is offered daily from 3-6 p.m. and features $3 to $6 sips and snacks such as Cajun queso & cracklin', alligator corndogs, braised short rib sliders, beer, wine and cocktails. The hidden courtyard offers a relaxing fall hangout for those looking to unwind, while the warm and contemporary interior provides a sophisticated dining atmosphere for those delving deeper into chef Juan Carlos' menu.
As a self-proclaimed "spirited" restaurant, SoBou hosts monthly Mixology Monday seminars in conjunction with The Museum of the American Cocktail and the Southern Food & Beverage Museum. Visit Monday, December 2, when bar chef Abigail Gullo talks about holiday cocktails. In the meantime, enjoy her fabulous new winter concoction, The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown: Great Lakes Pumpkin Seasonal Spirit, New Orleans Cajun Spiced Rum, Steen's Cane Syrup, bitters and garnished with an orange and lime twist.

Pope Francis is calling all members of the Church to become more missionary, to evangelize. To leave the comfort of one's present situation and go forth to the streets to make Jesus better known, loved and served. "If we wish to lead a dignified and fulfilling life, we have to reach out to others and seek their good. In this regard, several sayings of St. Paul will not surprise us: 'The love of Christ urges us on' (2 Cor 5:14); 'Woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel' (1 Cor 9:16)" (Evangelli Gaudium, The Joy of the Gospel, No. 9).
Pope Francis has spoken often about having a renewed poorer Church which works more for the poor, gets out and become more involved, even if she may come across as messy in her activities, making mistakes. Better, though, than sitting home in the "sacristy," safe and sound, never getting bruised and wounded by interaction with others — but if the Church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. "If I had to choose between a wounded Church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn Church, I would definitely choose the first" (The Joy of the Gospel, No. 00). He has also said: "To serve, accompany and defend" the poor is the mission of Catholic social ministry."
At Vatican II, the Church Fathers declared, "God, who has fatherly concern for everyone, has willed that all men and women should constitute one family and treat one another in a spirit of brotherhood" (Gaudium et Spes, No. 24). The family is the first cell in that church. "The family has received from God the mission to construct the first and vital cell of society. It fulfills its mission when is an intimate sanctuary of the Church" (J.P. II).
How then, can a pastor get his couples and their families to fit into this renewed vision of the Church? That they become more aware of their missionary and apostolic vocation?
Let's start with a reflection upon whom God is, His nature, His DNA. We Christians believe in a trinity of persons, one God with three different beings who live as a divine family. In this trinitarian life, we find the perfect community, union and solidarity, each working perfectly with the other while maintain his distinct role and function. There is no conflict, tension, envy, division. This happens because God is the author of LOVE.
As the essence of love, He reaches out and extends himself to share this love by creating life. God is the exact opposite of selfishness, of only having concerns and worries of taking care of oneself. After many millenniums of inanimated and non-rational life, He created men and women to live in community, giving us the family as an institution which promotes that love; it protects and sustains the life of its members, which, will then give a visible manifestation of His presence in today's world. John Paul II in Solicitude Rei Socialis wrote "all this plants within the human being — man and woman — the seed and the requirement of a special task to be accomplished by each individually and by them as a couple."
In an article which I once wrote, I said that the Trinity is a divine manifestation, archetype or model, of the family; the family is a human sacrament of the Trinity. If we want to know what and how the family should live, look to God. If we want to know how God lives and acts, look to the good unified family.
In the book Happy Together, author John Bosio presents us a theological base for developing the social dimension of Christian marriage when he writes that "life as a married couple is not intended to be self-serving. John Paul II explains that the unity of husband and wife 'rather than closing them up in themselves, opens them toward new life, toward a new person.' Husband and wife marry to become active partners with God to create and to nurture human life" (p. 133).
Lisa Cahill, well-known married lay theologian, wrote in her book A Christian Social Perspective: "If the family is a school of intimacy, empathy and love, then the family as little church schools these virtues in attentiveness to the least of Christ's brethren. The virtues of compassion, mercy and service are not merely held up as distant ideals or supererogatory forms of perfection. Those who fail to find Christ in active love of neighbor must depart from Him on the day of His glory."
The family has this wonderful vocation and mission to be the first and best school which teaches love. Without love, life does not have any taste or flavor, has lost its way. John Paul II also said that a person cannot live without love. . .and his life is stripped of meaning.
God is love, who wants to share it with others. (cf. St. John) If we do not imitate his example by loving others, we will be frustrated and unhappy. He who does not love has missed the whole purpose and reason for being. What good is a car if it does not provide us with transportation; or a refrigerator that does not keep our food cold; or a television that does not give us a clear picture?
Let us now reflect upon the sacrament of baptism. If this sacrament inserts us into the Body of Christ, into the Church, then some theologians would hold that when two baptized people are united in the sacrament of matrimony there is a deepening, a new insertion into Christ, into the Church. One is more baptized, more Church than a single person!
In baptism, we receive three munera: prophetic, priestly and kingly.
The Christian family, the domestic church, announces to the world through its prophetic munus the beauty and joy of a new loving community, a countersign in a world with still too many wars and conflicts, violence and economic exploitation, racism, etc. The family as domestic church condemns all exploitation by having its members working, living and loving together in peace and harmony.
By its prayers and spirituality, the Christian family as the first church reveals the concrete and visible presence of God. By living the priestly munus she sanctifies her members and all those with whom they come in contact. Hence the importance of conjugal and family prayer. How beautiful to see a whole family coming together to worship in the Eucharist, and then taking that love back to their home and to all the places that they will visit.
In Ephesians 5, St. Paul educates us that the husband must be a sign of the love of God toward his wife, the way Christ was for the Church. This lived love becomes visible for the children, and thus the parents become the first catechists and educators of the faith.
Our current models of authority and power leave a lot to be desired. There is still too much abuse and excessive privilege which harm the little and simple. The exercise of the kingly munus teaches the family how to order a new social model, a new form of service and helping the needs of others. There is a saying used in Brazil that goes like this: He who does not live to serve, does not serve to live. Christ's Kingdom is about serving, not so much about being served. The service that the spouses put into practice between themselves and with their children prepare them for serving all their brothers and sisters in the greater human family.
The family as domestic church, the first church, thus carries out Christ's mission in today's world. The pascal sacrifice, the death and dying of the Lord, continues on in the family through the sacrifices, renunciations, pardoning, sharing, loving and helping of one another.
That is why at Vatican II, the bishops said "the well-being of the individual person and of human and Christian society is intimately linked with the healthy condition of that community produced by marriage and family" (G.S., No. 47). If the "family is the foundation of society" then that same family and its members have to be involved in one way or another in building up a new society where love and concern for one another abounds.
But Pope Francis has noted that, when there is a greater need than ever for more missionary dynamism (which will bring salt and light to the world), many lay people fear that they may be asked to undertake some apostolic work and they seek to avoid any responsibility that may take away from their free time (J.G., No. 81).
What then, is the family, the domestic church, supposed to do? Many years ago President Kennedy used an ancient Chinese proverb to give Americans an example of what they could do. He only gave the first two of what should be included: Give someone a fish to eat today, immediately, because they are hungry. Teach them how to fish, to become independent.
But we cannot stop here. To be able to fish, people may need a fishing pole, a net, a boat, bait. Yet, when they get to the river, they find that someone has polluted it, put a fence around the lake. Fishermen cannot get to the fish.
Some Christians are going to be called to offer immediate assistance, like those who work in a soup kitchen; others will educate and train the needy to become independent; others still will provide the means and instruments so that people can perform their jobs, and finally there will be a small number of people in positions of authority to shape decisions on a regional, national or international level for the benefit of all. There is room for each and every person to act on at least one of these levels.
That is why John Paul II instructed us: "preference for the poor, and the decisions which it inspires in us, cannot but embrace the immense multitudes of the hungry, the needy, the homeless, those without medical care and, above all, those without hope of a better future. It is impossible not to take account of the existence of these realities. To ignore them would mean becoming like the rich man who pretended not to know the beggar Lazarus lying at his gate" (cf. Lk 16:19-31) (SRS, No. 42).
So Pope Francis reminds us that in virtue of our baptism, all the members of the People of God have become missionary disciples (cf. Mt 28:19). All the baptized, whatever their position in the Church or their level of instruction in the faith, are agents of evangelization, and it would be insufficient to envisage a plan of evangelization to be carried out by professionals while the rest of the faithful would simply be passive recipients. The new evangelization calls for personal involvement on the part of each of the baptized (J.G.).
Every Christian is challenged, therefore, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization in all its various dimensions. Francis believes that anyone who has truly experienced God's saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love. Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she has encountered the love of God in Christ Jesus. Look at the example of the first disciples, of the Samaritan woman, or St. Paul, who immediately proclaimed Jesus. So he asks each one of us, what are we waiting for?
Francis indicates the challenges that the world is facing which need to be faced (cf. 52-75 of J.G.):
No to an economy of exclusion.
No to the new idolatry of money.
No to a financial system that rules rather than serves.
No to the inequality that spawns violence.
Then there are the temptations faced by pastoral workers. [76-109]
Yes to the challenge of a missionary spirituality.
No to selfishness and spiritual sloth.
No to a sterile pessimism.
Yes to the new relationship brought by Christ.
No to spiritual worldliness.
No to warring among ourselves.
The sacrament of matrimony, therefore, should give the married couple the graces to not be selfish, to be ready to give and share life with others, to make sacrifices and to renounce immediate pleasure in benefit of the good of others. Parents begin this mission by shepherding their children to discover and love the Lord. By living in a Christian community, one learns to forgive, to heal hurts and pains, to be willing to forego one's preferences so that others might benefit.
The Christian couple will find themselves being drawn, according to their circumstances, to helping beyond the four walls of their own home and immediate family. Time, talents, capacity, etc. will dictate what, where and with whom, but because of the power of the Eucharist and their sacrament of matrimony, this couple will be open to giving of their love to those who are lonely, abandoned, scarred, bruised or hurt by life's evil ways. Whatever the situation, there is always someone to love and serve.
John Paul II quoted Paul VI as saying that "the Church is an 'expert in humanity,' and this leads her necessarily to extend her religious mission to the various fields in which men and women expend their efforts in search of the always relative happiness which is possible in this world, in line with their dignity as persons. The Church does not have a so-called third way in terms of a political or economic agendas, but involves herself with her ethics and lights to work for a just society. We need, however, more Christian politicians, business people, artists, those agents who shape public opinion through the field of communications, doctors and nurses, lawyers and judges, school teachers and educators, etc., to make human and Christian values present and visible."
One way in which a pastor can get his couples to begin their vocation as a missionary couple is to work on conjugal prayer. If he can get them to share a prayer life through dialogue, then they will learn to become open and receptive in many other ways, not only to each other but to a much wider circle of people.
William P. Roberts offers a wonderful reflection on this. We all know that one of the hardest areas of ourselves to reveal is about our prayer life and faith. That means that there is already a closeness and an ability to share in other ways also. This is not so much about revealing the dogmas one holds, but means talking about how a person relates to God. Who is God for me? Do I see Him as a distant judge or Abba? A loving Father or a lawgiver? What do I feel toward Him: fear, trust love, anger?
Where does Jesus fit into my scheme of things? Is my relationship with him personal? What are my hopes, dreams, fears and doubts about the afterlife? When husbands and wives shares these ideas, are they able to listen in a non-judgmental way? Support their spouse's faith journey?
Sharing in prayer is more than reciting prayers together. While that may be beneficial, using someone else's thoughts can be an escape from revealing where you are in your spiritual life. Spontaneous prayer reveals where each one is at that moment. Each gives the other a glimpse into his or her faith-filled heart and soul. It is one more intimate moment in the life of the couple. (cf. Readings in Moral Theology, No. 15, p. 124).
Couples who can share their deeper thoughts and feelings about their prayer life and faith will automatically become more apostolic and missionary, more outwardly looking.
So what challenges exist in your community? What needs are there? What can each couple and family offer? As no two couples are alike, so each will do it differently, depending upon the number and age of their children, the spouses' health and talents, free time, etc. Even if it is not possible for the couple to act together as a couple, the one who goes forth does so as a married person, enriched and supported by the love of a spouse.
That is why John Paul II's plea is still relevant today: "I wish to appeal with simplicity and humility to everyone. . .by the way they live as individuals and as families, by the use of their resources, by their civic activity, by contributing to economic and political decisions and by personal commitment to national and international undertakings — the measures inspired by solidarity and love of preference for the poor. This is what is demanded by the present moment" (SRS, No. 47).
So the great challenge facing us as pastors is how we can make our couples holier and more missionary. What areas do we need for them to work on? How can I help them achieve their goal?

MONTROSE, Colo.—A battle is under way to save an Army veteran's service dog before it can be euthanized.
Dutch the service dog is accused of attacking and biting a woman last November. Veteran Jeremy Aguilar says the dog bit the woman after she abused the animal.
On Thursday, Aguilar, who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, could be ordered to turn the dog over to authorities in Montrose to be euthanized.
Aguilar says he will fight attempts to seize his dog after a judge told Aguilar he could be jailed if he refuses to turn over the animal.

Wapakoneta run-rules New Bremen
NEW BREMEN — Wapakoneta's junior Adam Henderson ran in from the field between innings with a hamburger on a paper plate he'd just been handed by a group of New Bremen students grilling along the left field line.
"I can't eat this," Henderson said, laughing, as he returned to the dugout. Not only was it the last Friday of Lent, Wapakoneta varsity baseball coach Jason Brandt doesn't allow food in the dugout.
An uneaten burger was about the only disappointing thing about a Good Friday trip to New Bremen for Henderson — who drove in five runs on a 3 for 4 day — and the Redskins, who put the pedal down early on the Cardinals and never let up in a 12-1 five-inning run-rule win.
Wapakoneta has allowed just one run in its last three games coming into Friday's game with two straight shutouts, a 14-0 win Saturday over Lima Senior and a 7-0 win Thursday against Elida.
"When you're on the visiting side of things, you want to come out, be aggressive and do the little things that you need to do," Brandt said.
Wapakoneta starting pitcher Kodi Morgan worked from behind in the count early in the game, but the junior right-hander finished off Cardinal batters and ended up throwing first-pitch strikes to 10 of the 19 batters he faced by striking out five of the final six Cardinals in the game.
"He battled all day long," Brandt said. "He threw a minimal amount of pitches and it was his spot in the rotation with the league schedule being messed up by rain and cold the way it has. He'll jump back in the rotation next Friday and throw again. We just wanted him to work on his command. Give him credit, and [catcher] Nate [Kaeck] did great job behind the plate blocking pitches."
Morgan continued the roll Redskins pitchers have been on, as they entered the game with a 2.27 earned run average.
New Bremen, meanwhile, allowed seven unearned runs with four errors.
"We gave them a lot of extra bases," New Bremen varsity coach Josh Bowersock said. "And they took the extra bases. They forced us to make plays. They put it in play, probably hit more bleeders than line drives, but they found holes. And that's the bottom line."
Wapakoneta jumped on New Bremen starting pitcher Jacob Gilberg early after the 10 a.m. first pitch, with the first three batters singling and two of them scoring in the top of the first for a 2-0 lead the Redskins would keep extending throughout the game.
"Our first three batters laced singles and it was a good piece of hitting by all of them," Brandt said. "One through nine, everybody produced in one shape or form. They all had good at-bats. We had great hustle today, running hard out of the box for infield singles and moved up on throws. Just the little things you need to do whether it's a one- run game or an eight-run game."
The Redskins added two more in the second inning with a Henderson RBI double that scored Quinn Lotridge, who reached via an infield single and Chandler Kaeck's opposite field bloop into center that allowed Henderson to wheel around the bases for a 4-0 advantage.
Taylor Gonzales drove in the fifth run of the game in the top of the third when he singled to left field to bring Nate Kaeck home. After Jordan Kaeck laid down a perfect bunt single down the third base line to load the bases and New Bremen shortstop Troy Siegel made a diving stop off the bat of Lotridge to momentarily save a couple of runs, Henderson grounded a two-run, two-out single past the second baseman for a 7-0 advantage. A wild pitch made it 8-0.
New Bremen stopped Wapak's unanswered barrage with a run in the bottom of the third inning. After Troy Siegel singled, he went to second on an error. A Nolan Fox single to center and a stolen base by Fox put runners on second and third with one out, setting up Jacob Gilberg's sacrifice fly that made it 8-1 before the third out was made at third base on a rundown.
Wapakoneta kept building on the 8-1 lead. Jordan Kaeck drew a bases-loaded walk to bring Nate Kaeck, who singled with one out.
Wapak scored four more times in the fifth off new Cardinal reliever Travis Bertelsen. Henderson reached on an error, Culver singled with one out and Nate Kaeck walked to load up the bases. Morgan lifted a sac fly into the outfield for 10-1 lead, and Logan Martin brought in two more with a two-run, two-out single that scored Culver and Nate Kaeck.
Gilberg shouldered the loss for New Bremen, going four innings with one strikeout. He gave up nine runs, but just five were earned, as the Cardinals committed four costly errors. Bertelsen worked an inning, giving up three unearned runs.

McCarthy's halftime adjustments during the Green Bay game included neutralizing the DE's by having Rodgers get rid of the ball quickly. While this worked to a certain extent, Seattle seemed to be playing bend but don't break. The coverage was still tight, but the ball was getting in there for moderate gains. I was thinking that New England will see this and model their passing game this way since they are so good at the precision passing game anyway.
I'm wondering, New England and Seattle fans, will this be the way Brady and Bill play this? Will Seattle be looking for this and have a plan for it? If so, what will the plan be to stop the passing attack? This is the only thing I'm worried about (well beside Seattle's passing game). I'd like any insight on this I can get if you don't mind. In the hours before the game, I've been thinking about this.

Well, today is the day before Christmas, so what better way to celebrate than by listening to Louis Armstrong's reading of "The Night Before Christmas." I've shared this in previous years, but I think it's only an appropriate annual tradition. This was Armstrong's final record, made February 26, 1971 in his home in Corona, just a few days before his last extended engagement at the Waldorf-Astoria, an engagement that pretty much sealed the fate of the frail trumpeter. He passed away on July 6, 1971.
But enough sadness! Louis Armstrong was the personification of joy and the man was terrific around children, two attributes that come to the forefront of this reading. And I recently learned some new information about this record that I'd like to share. One of Louis's private tapes housed at the Louis Armstrong House Museum (aka my employer) featured a tape contents sheet inside of the box on which Louis wrote, "Louis Satchmo Armstrong talking to all the kids from all over the world - at Xmas time." And lo and behold, when I played the CD, it opened with TWO versions of "The Night Before Christmas"! What's crazier is the sound quality was better on the tape then on the final released record. I listened to them both and it struck me: they were two different readings. Louis's first reading is delightful, but he's a tad hesitant at the start and at one point has trouble turning the page (causing him to ad-lib, "Good old Santa!" The second take was mostly used for the master though, they edited out Louis's clearing his throat early on.
Thus, we may never know how this recording came to be. Did Louis do it on a whim and someone--maybe Lucille?--brought it to the attention of Continental Records? Or did Continental ask him to record it (in February, two months after Christmas) but Louis, ailing a bit and probably unable to go to a recording studio, just recorded two versions in his den and sent it over to Continental to edit together the best parts? My assumption is that it was spurred on by the record label because why else would Louis read "The Night Before Christmas" two months after Christmas?
According to the October 9, 1971 issue of "Billboard," though Continental produced it, it was actually distributed by the tobacco firm, Lorillard. If you bought a carton of cigarettes, you'd get a free record! (Where have those promotions gone?) Lorillard printed up one million copies to start selling for Christmas of that year and they even awarded Lucille with a gold record, which we have at the Armstrong Archives.
Both surviving takes are very special and if you were to make an appointment to visit the Armstrong Archives at Queens College, I'd definitely recommend a listen. And by the way, if you search our online catalog, search for tape 1987.3.465 to see a description of the contents of this tape, as well as to see how Louis decorated the box in these final months of his life (a very sweet back cover with a photo of Louis, a photo of Lucille and a photo of a trumpet). Once again, the link to that online catalog:

Now, let's listen to the original released version (call the children to the computer!):
Later, when Brunswicky issued it, they added some silly sound effects and background music. To hear that version, click here:
Thanks for listening and I wish all of you a wonderful holiday...and that goes for Satchmo, too!

If you visit Sitka and Juneau, Alaska, this month, it's often easy to spot bald eagles, ravens and black and brown bears on your own. (I expected to have the same luck in June and got skunked, except for the raven I photographed in a Foodland parking lot.) Timing is everything with wildlife watching and opportunities increase when berries are ripe or fish are running or spawning.
Here's a look at when and where to see bears, eagles and whales inexpensively in southeastern Alaska. If you visit at other times, you'll see plenty of wildlife but you may need to pay experts to take you there.
When: Late May-June 15; mid-July-August (salmon run)
Where: Glacier Bay and Gustavus (the gateway to Glacier Bay, http://www.gustavusak.com)
Glacier Bay National Park (www.nps.gov/glba/index.htm; http://www.visitglacierbay.com)
Bartlett Cove beach; the Bartlett River; campgrounds and the area near Glacier Bay Lodge (especially the dining room). Brown bears are spotted more frequently than black bears.
Gustavus: Bear Track Inn (www.beartrackinn.com, surrounded by a creek on three sides, visitors primarily see black bears); backyards; and wooded areas
Haines (brown and black): Haines Highway and Lutak Road (www.haines.ak.us)
Ketchikan (brown and black): Herring Cove beach (www.visit-ketchikan.com)
Sitka (www.sitka.org) (brown only): Fortress of the Bear (year-round, http://www.fortressofthebear.org) rescue center for orphaned brown bears, $10 admission); Indian River Trail in Tongass National Forest (www.fs.fed.us/r10/tongass)
Admiralty Island National Monument (near Juneau, http://www.lat.ms/OE91cP) at Pack Creek (more than 1,600 brown bears, among the largest populations in the world). Admiralty can be reached only by floatplane, boat, canoe or kayak, and a visiting permit is required.
Petersburg (www.petersburg.org) (black only): Blind River Rapids (14 miles from Petersburg); Crystal Lake Hatchery (18 miles from town, http://www.ssraa.org/crystal_lake.htm)
Juneau (black only; http://www.traveljuneau.com)
Mendenhall Glacier (13 miles from downtown Juneau) overlooks provide great views of black bears fishing for salmon in Steep Creek near the Visitor Center (www.fs.fed.us/r10/tongass/districts/mendenhall); Mt. Roberts (trails and viewing overlooks). Just above downtown Juneau. Most visitors take the Mt. Roberts tramway up (www.goldbelttours.com/mount-roberts-tramway).
Bald eagles
When: March and April (when herring and the eulachon, a smelt-like fish, spawn, especially in Wrangell; June-August (when king, chum and silver salmon begin spawning). September-mid-November in Haines during final salmon run.
Where: From Petersburg to Ketchikan, almost every town has resident eagles on rooftops, treetops, light posts and buoys. Here are a few top spots:
Haines (the resident eagle population swells from 400 to 3,500 in the fall; Haines hosts an eagle festival every November). Among prime places:
Chilkoot State Park, http://www.haines.ak.us/chilkoot-state-park
Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve along the Chilkat River Delta "flats" (20 miles from town along the Haines Highway between miles 18 and 24, http://www.lat.ms/OEb8x7
American Bald Eagle Foundation and Raptor Center ($10 adult admission; www.baldeagles.org)
Wrangell: Start at the Web address for this city in central southeastern Alaska: http://www.wrangell.com/visitorservices).
Also consider visiting:
Stikine River, which runs 400 miles from its headwaters in British Columbia, Canada, to its mouth near Wrangell. Its delta is home to more than 120 species of migrating birds.
Macaulay Salmon Hatchery (www.dipac.net/Macaulay_hatchery.html) is an ocean "ranch" that rears and releases salmon to enhance the wild population in Juneau.
Mt. Roberts, see info under bears.
Berner's Bay, about 38 miles north of Juneau.
Alaska Raptor Center (www.alaskaraptor.org, $12 adult admission) is a raptor rehabilitation, education and research center that works to return birds to the wild whenever possible. Injured bald eagles, hawks and owls too injured to survive become educational ambassadors for their species.
Sitka Sound
Whales: Humpbacks, orcas and gray whales
When: May-November
From the Alaska Marine Highway System Ferry (www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs). The ferry, which turns 50 next year, has spacious common areas even when its cabin and car deck space is sold out in the summer.
Wrangell Narrows between Wrangell and Petersburg
Icy Straits (from Juneau to Gustavus, Hoonah or Pelican)
From shore or a kayak
Docks in Gustavus or Glacier Bay
Sitka Sound and Whale Park (primarily in November) in Sitka
Good whale watch operators out of Juneau, Sitka and Gustavus include Allen Marine (Sitka and Juneau: http://www.allenmarine.com). Adventures in Alaska (Juneau, http://www.whale-watch.biz/index.htm) and Cross Sound Express (Gustavus to Point Adolphus, http://www.taz.gustavus.com)
Other critters
Moose (primarily in Gustavus, Haines and Wrangell) and hoary marmots (mountainous areas in Alaska south of the Yukon). Stellar sea lions, harbor seals and otters call southeastern Alaska home. The region is teeming with bird life besides bald eagles, including black-legged kittiwakes, Arctic terns and horned and tufted Puffins.
