Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
10 November, 2009
University of Toronto Pro-Life students make the argument for using the internet as a medium for the Christian message
You will find in the referenced articles box (left side of page) an article from the University of Toronto Pro-Life students organization offering a cogent and compact argument for using the virtual medium in the cause of life. In it, they mention the bias that exists among many against its value, a bias that they very effectively argue against.

It wasn't the European Union that did this to all of us - it wasn't the Euro, it wasn't nationalism - it was rampant unregulated amoral gambling by global financiers and bankers, allied to the incompetence and failure of vision, foresight and nerve of US, European and UK governments.
Labour and British banks did it to the UK - the Irish government and Irish banks did it to Ireland - the US government and Wall Street banks did it to America, and compounded it for the rest of us.
Reflect on this before sneering at Ireland and allowing schadenfreude to cloud your judgement, and mouthing cheap Labour sound bites about the failure of Celtic Tigers and the Arc of Prosperity.
Labour are the guilty party - the incompetent Conlib Coalition are now compounding the error in their misconceived programme of cuts, attacking public service, the poor, the sick and the vulnerable.
Only the Scottish Nationalist Government stands between the people of Scotland and this economic incompetence and social lunacy, but they are limited by the lack of full fiscal autonomy.
Saor Alba!

China's ZTE Corp. plans to ramp up competition in the crowded U.S. smartphone market with higher-end gadgets and closer ties with carriers, aiming to become one of the world's top three smartphone brands.
The telecommunications equipment maker is starting with about a 5 percent market share in the U.S., a reputation mostly for budget phones, and fierce competition from companies such as Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. But success in the U.S. and China is key to its ambitions, Executive Vice President He Shiyou said in an interview, adding that ZTE hopes the U.S. will leapfrog China to become the company's No. 1 source of smartphone revenue.

And he and his family learn lessons of patience, gratitude and community through his ordeal.
Michael Bliss is grateful.
He's grateful the feeling in his fingers is coming back. He's grateful he's home. He's grateful he's loved and cared for by people he's never even met. He's grateful he can wiggle his feet, a little bit more each day.
The seemingly small things everyone else takes for granted aren't lost on Mike. That's the nickname he goes by — except when his parents use his full name to keep him motivated during his physical therapy. Michael and Cheryl Bliss are watching their son relearn the skills he mastered as a toddler: walking, using his hands, moving his arms.
Mike was just 21 when he was beaten by three men in what police called a random, brutal assault in Buffalo last March. Back then, the focus was on whether he'd live.
He did. And now, the focus is on getting him to walk.
Mike is considered a quadriplegic. He's in a wheelchair, but spends a lot of time out of it, trying to rebuild his strength. He works at it every day, almost all day, at home and at rehab centers. Therapy, he said, is never ending.
His family room, which has been turned into a therapy room now, houses weights, a table on which to do stretches and an exercise ball. It houses a plaque, too. "I believe in miracles," it reads.
It's a belief the whole family shares: mom Cheryl, dad Michael, brother Matthew, 19, and sister Kelsey, 8.
"We keep hoping, because little things keep coming back and we work very hard," Cheryl said. "We work hard with him. We're not going to give up."
Their journey began on March 22, when their son was walking home from watching a Buffalo Sabres game at a bar. Mike, who graduated from Greece Arcadia in 2005, was an accounting major at the University of Buffalo. The family can't talk about the case, but three men have been charged.
Mike remembers waking up in a Buffalo hospital and trying to rip out his respirator tube. He didn't like it, he said. For the first week, he was out of it. His family was by his side.
"It was really scary, because there were a few times where I thought we might lose him," Cheryl said.
Nothing mattered more than getting through the day.
"I wasn't really thinking about if he would walk again. I was thinking about if he would live," she said.
Doctors didn't tell Mike too much, he said. He's glad they didn't. Slowly, he started to recover. He's been home for three months. In between, he's spent time at various rehab centers, including a recent stay in San Diego. The family is going to another clinic in Baltimore soon for a trial program.
"We have to (go)," Cheryl said. "We don't want to ever look back and say we didn't do enough."
She and her husband take care of Mike during the day. His grandmothers take care of the night shift. A trio of women, called the "faunts" — short for "fake aunts" — help, too. Cousins, and aunts and uncles, and grandpa, and friends and their parents and grandparents pitch in as well.
"It's not just a matter of 'Michael can't walk,'" Cheryl said. He needs to be turned at night. It takes awhile to get him ready for the day, let alone to leave the house. He has a catheter. He needs help getting dressed.
"There's no dignity in this injury," Cheryl said.
Besides the physical help, emotional support is just as vital, she said. The family welcomes visitors and calls and cards.
Mike even met Kevin Everett, the former Buffalo Bills player who was temporarily paralyzed after suffering an injury during a game last season. A replica of a check he gave for Mike's recovery hangs above the family's fireplace.
Everett was an inspiration, Mike said. So is the man who sold the family his van equipped for a wheelchair. He hasn't recovered from paralysis, but he has gone on to live a good life, Cheryl said.
But Mike, who said he's always been a determined kind of guy, wants more. The progress he's made in the five months since being attacked, he said, keeps him going.
"It keeps me optimistic in hopes of getting out of my wheelchair," he said. "It's going to take awhile, but it's still what I'm shooting for."
Does he think it will happen?
"Yeah," he said, after a pause. "Yeah, I do."
Mike and his parents approach therapy like a routine. When it's time, Mike uses his arms to push up from his wheelchair. His mom boosts him onto the table. He starts, she finishes.
She hands him his wrist weights. She helps put on first one, then the other. It's backwards, Mike tells her patiently. She moves it around. He lifts his arms steadily, breathing in and out slowly, concentrating on every move.
His mom uncrosses his ankles and tugs off his slippers. If he's in one position for awhile, his body gets used to it, she said. Then, his dad comes in. He bends down and puts clean, white sneakers on his son's feet while Mike watches. They look brand new.
In the last week alone, Mike's hands have regained some strength, Cheryl said. He's going to take an online college course. Mike doesn't know what he wants to do, but he plans to go back to college. The computer use will help his rehab, mom said.
The family is slowly getting back to normal, she said. The siblings squabble again. Mike and his parents argue sometimes. The eggshells, for the most part, are gone.
"It's sad when he gets sad, but in a way I'm glad to see him release it," she said.
But it doesn't happen often.
"His attitude keeps us going," Cheryl said.
Sometimes, Mike said, he wonders why this happened to him. But only sometimes.
"There's much worse things that happen to people," he said.

Assassins in Love by Kris DeLake
Sourcebooks (March 1, 2012)
Mass Market: $6.99; ebook: $6.99
Favorite Lines: "She turned, assessing her options as she did. One knife. (People were afraid of knives, which was good. But knives were messy, hard to clean up the blood, which was bad. Two laser pistols. (One tiny, against her ankle, hard to reach. The other on her hip, obvious, but laser blasts in a corridor–dangerous. They'd bounce off the walls, might hit her.) Fists. (Might break a bone, hands already shaking. Didn't need the additional risk.) Then stopped assessing when she saw him. He wasn't what she expected." (p. 10, egalley)
Two brilliant assassins in a fascinating futuristic world need each other to finish one more job before calling it quits in the highly respected killing business. But it's more of a challenge than either expected.
A series of mishaps plagues their every move, and if it's not Misha helping Rikki with a bungled getaway, then it's Rikki helping Misha to hide some damning evidence. They can't seem to get anything right… except for the way they feel about each other.
Hmmm, how to describe book one in the Assassins Guild series written by Kris DeLake, aka Kristine Kathryn Rusch–the author of a ton of books. It's a futuristic, action packed, sensual romance featuring two killers who make no apologies for doing their jobs.
The hero, Misha, is a by-the-rules type of man and the heroine, Rikki, is a fly by your pants type of woman. Both are great at their jobs as assassins. Their paths just seem to keep running a bit too close. Misha keeps getting jammed up by Rikki's kills; he's been arrested three times for deaths attributed to her. He is determined to find out if Rikki is out to get him.
Rikki, on the other hand, could care less. Every time she is hired to "off" someone she researches the target. She doesn' t kill people so heirs can inherit property or because of silly feuds. She only takes cases which involve people who deserve to die. So when Rikki is hired to kill a high ranking official, she knows that she is being set up. It's the perfect time for the rule loving Misha to help Rikki. He can also help her examine the role he played in her past.
Assassins in Love is a quick read that sometimes made me wonder how the heroine managed to thrive as an assassin. Rikki came across as bumbling and irrational at times which interrupted the flow of the story. Every time she did something like a novice, I rolled my eyes. I mean she's caught on film, doesn't always observe her environment and leaves a witness alive, all of which add up to a not so proficient killer. I don't know how she's been so successful that she's considering retirement.
Despite my issues with the heroine, the passion filled story was a fun and light read. (Odd that a book about death avoided becoming dark.) It doesn't portray an overnight type of love, but one in which a couple meet and separate, before reuniting. Through that time they simmer in a mixture of wonderment, lust and distrust. Unintentionally, Rikki and Misha take time to weave together the bonds needed for a lasting relationship. The story makes it simple to follow Rikki and Misha through time because it is divided into three, clearly marked sections.
I don't see myself re-reading Assassins in Love; it's not one of my favorite books of the year. However, reading about the worlds DeLake envisions made reading the book worthwhile. In DeLake's world, people travel on spaceships similar to the way people travel on cruise ships today. Credit card implants are used as currency and real meat is a thing only the rich can afford. It's not calm like Robyn Carr's Virgin River series. It's not dark like Jory Strong's Ghostland World series. It's not silly, funny or scary. It's different in a way that makes it slightly better than an average romance.

Inmate accused of attacking jail guards has record of violence
Criminal charges could be reviewed Friday against a man who attacked staff at the Milwaukee County Jail, injuring three guards.
The melee broke out Tuesday, and it took a number of officers to control the man.
There were already concerns about the man's stability well before the assault.
The video from inside the jail shows 43-year-old Leopoldo Santos-Fernandez moving into a restricted area and aggressively start throwing punches at a corrections officer.
Even as another guard moved in -- and later another -- Santos-Fernandez continued to fight, the video showed.
They were finally able to get him to the ground and under control. Jail staff already knew the inmate was undergoing an extended psychiatric evaluation.
"It's a volatile environment," Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said.
Clarke said the officer tried to use aTaser, but it was knocked out of his hand. Clarke said in the wake of the incident, he's re-evaluating the response to attacks on guards.
"We will take a look at some more things. If we can find more interventions for defensive weapons I'm going to do that, and continually improve this environment for these officers," Clarke said.
The outburst by Santos-Fernandez didn't come as a complete surprise. WISN 12 News learned he was awaiting trial for slashing his roommate's throat in May at their West Allis home after an argument about religion.
The roommate barely survived, and police said they found Santos-Fernandez babbling in the backyard holding a Bible.
VIDEO: Video shows man throwing punches at guards
Santos-Fernandez remains at the Milwaukee County Jail. His attorney is mounting a defense of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. A psychiatrist's report was scheduled to be revealed in court next week.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office is still waiting on reports from the sheriff's office, before filing new charges for the attack at the jail.

NEW YORK (March 27, 2014)—The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) today announced the finalists for the 2014 National Magazine Awards. Known as the Ellies—for the Alexander Calder stabile "Elephant" given to each award winner—the National Magazine Awards will be presented on Thursday, May 1, at the New York Marriott Marquis.
Sixty-six publications were nominated this year in 24 categories. Twenty-six magazines received multiple nominations, led by New York with nine, followed by National Geographic, The New Yorker and Wired, each with six. Bon Appétitreceived five nominations; GQ and Harper's Magazine both received four.
Magazines with three nominations include The Atavist, The Atlantic, Esquire, Garden & Gun, The New York Times Magazine, Outside, Vanity Fair and W. Publications with two nominations are Backpacker, Bloomberg Businessweek, ESPN The Magazine, Glamour, Los Angeles, Martha Stewart Living, Modern Farmer, Money, Poetry, Runner's World and Slate.
Six publications are first-time finalists: The Hollywood Reporter, Landscape Architecture and Pacific Standard for General Excellence; Modern Farmer for General Excellence and Magazine Section; Road & Track for Magazine Section; and The Verge for Video.
Digital-first finalists include The Atavist for Multimedia, Video and Reporting; The Daily Beast for Multimedia; Pitchfork for Website; Slate for Website and Columns and Commentary; Tablet Magazine for Columns and Commentary; and The Verge for Video.
Among the notable writers whose work was short listed were Sarah Stillman, one of whose stories for The New Yorker was nominated in the Public Interest category for the third year in a row (her story "The Invisible Army" won the award in 2012); Luke Mogelson, whose stories "The Dream Boat" for The New York Times Magazine and "The River Martyrs" for The New Yorker were both nominated in Reporting; and Wells Tower, whose essay "The Old Man at Burning Man" for GQ and short story "The Dance Contest" for McSweeney's were nominated in Essays and Criticism and Fiction respectively.
Also honored were Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose blog posts for The Atlantic were nominated in Columns and Commentary and whose story "Fear of a Black President" won the award for Essays and Criticism for The Atlantic last year; David Kamp, whose article "The Day Before" for Vanity Fair was nominated for Feature Writing and whose work is the basis for the Vanity Fair series "The Snob's Dictionary," which was nominated in Video; and Tim Walker, whose photographs for W were nominated for the third time in the last four years in Feature Photography.
Articles by the novelists Jonathan Franzen, Zadie Smith and William T. Vollman were also short listed. The nominated pieces are Franzen's "Last Song" for National Geographic in Public Interest; Smith's "Embassy of Cambodia" for The New Yorker in Fiction; and Vollman's "Life as a Terrorist" for Harper's Magazine in Essays and Criticism.
"The range of this year's finalists is testament to the vitality of magazine media," said Sid Holt, chief executive of ASME. "Every day media consumers turn to magazines for practical information and advice about their passions and interests. Also growing is readers' interest in the kind of long-form journalism and digital storytelling that only magazines can deliver. Whatever readers are looking for, they know the best place to find it is in magazines—and that's what these nominations show, that the quality of magazine journalism both in print and on digital platforms is at an all-time high."
Established in 1966, the National Magazine Awards are sponsored by ASME in association with the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. More than 250 publications entered the National Magazine Awards this year, submitting 1,586 entries. The judges included 333 magazine editors, art directors and photography editors as well as journalism educators.

Susan Richards' art is exquisite. It is wonderful to be able to carry it around all of the time. I gave this pouch to my sister. Now, she can carry around Spring in all its beauty.

Susan Richards' art is beautiful, as well as meaningful. This exquisite depiction of a turtle reaching the shore (Reaching Shore #2) evokes the struggle and then success of of a turtle's return to its origins. I carry it with me everywhere and reminded of the beauty of this story and Susan's elegant art..

This picture is beautiful. My bag had the top portion of it cut off though- so it does not have the "I'm not" portion in the bag. It came out beautifully though and I LOVE IT!!!

Rachel Krcmar and Katharine Stevens have been named finalists in the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Certificate of Merit from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by Harwood interim principal Lisa Atwood to these scholastically talented seniors.
About 1.5 million juniors in some 22,000 high schools entered the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2010 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, which represents less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state's percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
To become a finalist, a semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier performance on the qualifying test. The semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes the student's essay and information about the semifinalist's participation and leadership in school and community activities.
From the approximately 16,000 semifinalists, about 15,000 are expected to advance to the finalist level, and in February they were notified of this designation. All National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from this finalist group. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.

In case you missed it, a federal judge in Alabama reinstated oversight of a city's voting practices on Monday — the first instance of a court requiring preclearance of election law changes since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act last June in Shelby v. Holder.
In Allen v. City of Evergreen, U.S. District Judge Callie V. S. Granade used Section 3 of the Act — the so-called "bail-in" provision — to require the small city to submit certain changes to the Justice Department for approval before enacting them into law.
Section 3 relief, which requires a showing of intentional discrimination against minority voters, is also being sought by the parties in the voting rights cases pending here in Greensboro.
As Adam Liptak reported in yesterday's New York Times:
Evergreen, an enclave of 3,900 people between Mobile and Montgomery, has a troubled history and has in recent years been found to have improperly excluded minority voters from its rolls and redrawn its district lines to concentrate black voters, who are in the majority, into just two of the five districts, limiting black voting power.
The city acknowledged problems with certain of its practices and agreed to the court's order.
The path to bail-in and preclearance won't be quite as easy in the cases pending here and in Texas, as the states are fighting that relief.

Deceptive advertising generally violates the law, but regulators can't monitor everything.
So it's up to shoppers to read the fine print. Especially, Consumer Reports cautions when they see certain advertising terms.
Like 'satisfaction guaranteed.' The Federal Trade Commission says companies should only say that if they're willing to provide full refunds to unhappy customers, or they state the limitations. And those limitations can really get you.
The website GlassesUSA advertises a satisfaction guarantee but if you return some items and want your money back, it will cost you a 20 percent re-stocking fee. And Michelin's 30-day satisfaction guarantee means you can return the tires you bought, but for a new set of tires, not a refund.
What about a 'Going out of Business' sale? Don't assume everything's a deal. Consumer Reports finds that you can often find things cheaper at stores that are not going out of business.
And, Consumer Reports cautions, be very wary of 'FREE.' It can be a powerful come on. But often you have to buy something, to get something else free. Another catch is being asked to pay something to get a free item such as additional shipping and handling. Sometimes that can end up exceeding the cost of the 'free' item.

Mt. Edgecumbe High hosts Prom Princess Event
Published: 04/12/2012 14:30:00
This past weekend saw a very special event at Mt. Edgecumbe High School in Sitka, it was Prom Night. And while that might not seem like such a big deal, Mt. Edgecumbe is a boarding school and the students are from all over Alaska so a prom IS a big deal that they wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity or the resources to attend. Fortunately, thanks to a group of Alaska Airlines employees who donate dresses and volunteer to help the kids get ready, they created an event known as Prom Princess, and what would have been only a dream for the kids; became a reality.
VIDEO: This past Friday was Prom Night at Mt. Edgecumbe High School in Sitka, and while all proms are special, this one was even more so. (Image: Rik Pruett)
Ivy Lanthier, the Dorm Director at Mt. Edgecumbe High School, Told us why he felt it was so important to the students. "There's four hundred students, they're from about a hundred different villages, there is no parents here to help them prepare for the prom and so in a sense the volunteers from Alaska Airlines and my staff begin to serve that role, they provide all of the things that a family would provide to a young person except that our kids are away from home."
The Creator of Prom Princess, Terri Bogren of Alaska Airlines, tells us how it all began. "And I knew that a lot of the students here didn't really go to the prom because they couldn't afford the dresses so it was my idea to kind of get a donation program together for the dresses and coming in and doing hair and makeup for the students. All of the stuff is donated, all of the items that we bring in are donated and this year we probably got about three hundred dresses and we also got menswear this year for the guys."
Andrew Friske, the Dorm Principal at the school, also related how meaningful the event is to the students. "You know a lot of the students don't have this opportunity you know to be pampered and to get these beautiful dresses fit to their size and to get all the makeup put on them, get a great haircut, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot of these students and you know like I said it's the highlight of the year at Mt. Edgecumbe High School."
And a student at Mt. Edgecumbe, Auna Springer, provided her personal feelings of Prom Princess. "This is my second year here I'm a sophomore and I've never got to go to any other Prom but the fact that we have like people who come in to help us with our hair and our makeup and do our nails, got my nails done, it's amazing."
Prom Princess is now in its 4th year and thanks to Alaska Airlines and its generous employees, it's an event that truly means something to kids that are so far from home.

Chalkers Chimney in southern Namadgi National Park.
To most people who don't know the history of this remote area of the very southern ACT, it's pretty much just an old chimney standing in the middle of nowhere. But to me, well I'm also most people who don't know the history of this remote area of the very southern ACT, and so, yep, it is just an old chimney standing in the middle of nowhere!
It's a been-there-done-that kind of a spot, a bit like Sam Aboud's Dunny which is a (non-functioning) dunny existing by itself in the middle of nowhere.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.
