In his recent Calendar article on religiously tinged films ["Faith Makes a Hollywood Comeback," Dec. 30], critic Stephen Farber singles out Ang Lee's "Life of Pi," based on the like-named novel by Yann Martel, from a quartet that includes "Les Misérables," "The Sessions" and "Flight." Although Farber rightfully zeros in on "Pi" as "the most intriguing of these current movies," from a religious standpoint, I believe he misses the mark on its most intriguing aspect.
This, for Farber, consists of looking "beyond Christianity to encompass a broader view of religious commitment." I see the film as subverting (albeit inadvertently) the very notion of such commitment and diverting it instead onto the cinematic apparatus itself.
Pi's religious quandary is foregrounded and shrouded in the title. As the eponymous Indian protagonist — self-nicknamed "Pi" — explains early, the deeper meaning of the mathematical symbol pi lies not merely in its representing the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference but in its being an irrational number whose decimal configuration is nonrepetitive and never-ending. A dialectic of reason and faith is thus established in Pi's very person, one compounded by family dynamics.
PHOTOS: How did they make the tiger for 'Life of Pi'?
Whereas Pi's scientifically inclined father is dismissive of religion, Pi overcompensates by embracing not just one but a handful of them. Where the film comes down on the issue is foreshadowed when the American writer — to whom the adult Pi relates his extraordinary tale of survival as a young boy — says he was told that this story "will make you believe in God."
The story we see, in flashback, is indeed miraculous. Pi is the sole survivor not only of a shipwreck that kills his family and everyone else onboard but also of several months adrift on the ocean in a lifeboat with a vicious if strikingly beautiful Bengal tiger. Farber interprets the fabulous tale in relation to the spiritual odyssey young Pi undertook before the shipwreck. His attraction to Hinduism, Christianity and Islam (and later, mystical Judaism) stemmed from their ability to craft "myths to provide meaning, mystery and hope," which arguably are "no less relevant than purely scientific accounts."
The adult Pi affirms this notion in relating, sans flashback imagery, an alternative survival story. Although far less wondrous than the tiger-driven version, this "nihilistic tale of human savagery and cannibalism" had proved more credible to the shipwreck's insurance investigators. When asked which of the two he prefers, the writer obviously opts for the tiger tale, to which Pi responds, with an impish grin: "And it's the same way with God."
VIDEO: Directors Round Table: Ang Lee on 'going to the edge'
What we are left with, seemingly, is a watered-down version of Gabriel Marcel, Martin Buber and Paul Tillich's "spiritual existentialism" — a dredging of transcendent "meaning, mystery, and hope" from the material world (or as Farber puts it, "the possibility of larger forces at play in an indifferent universe"). Fair enough — were it not that using Pi's fable as Exhibit A on behalf of "The Mystery of Being" (Marcel), "I and Thou" (Buber) and "The Courage to Be" (Tillich) leaves this agnostic viewer, at least, stranded at sea.
To ascribe spiritual transcendence as deriving from a horrific disaster that killed one's family and scores of others, and whose subsequent ordeal was overcome not by divine intervention but by rational intelligence and pluck, seems rather a brief for sadomasochism and hubris than religious belief. If surviving a mini-holocaust is the way to "make you believe in God," spare me (and those who perished that I might live).
But of course it's not a mini-holocaust but its recounting that serves as the springboard for this "leap of faith" — and therein lies the tale. Pi's ear-witness writer, and the novel's readers, may have been momentarily uplifted by "a compelling form of storytelling," as Farber puts it, but the 3-D movie's audience is ultimately enthralled not by the philosophical-theological niceties but by the sheer, thrilling, CGI-enhanced spectacle of it all.
The "faith" that Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" most engenders, in other words, is not in God but in Cinema writ large.

I hope you are right but by the time we find out it will be too late for all of us. What gets me is why you and other can't or won't ask enough questions to prove to yourself that he is just a nothing special man.
Don't you even see that this money he has spent and will continue to spend is real money? And that his history so far is how to by-pass the Constitution and other rights. And you just don't question."The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers it can bribe the public with the public's own money.
- Alexis de Toqueville, 1835
Some of the most incompetent looking fools have taken over their world in our planets history and has caused massive destruction and much loss of life.
One persons incompetence is anothers dictatorship.
The voters of this nation have spoken..and spoken loud and clear, that is true. Now go meet as many of those voters as you can, see how they live, see how they make decisions, see what their values are and determine for yourself if these are the people who best represent the life and liberties that this country, and yours, was founded on.
It's a losing battle to me as the majority of the new generation has lost touch with reality. If you make a certain amount a month it's certainly OK to spend much more that that. Many think milk comes from Safeway.
Then there are those of my generation of which I know many. They have lived their lives under a system of source and supply and they fear free enterprise where people can chose and make their own destiny based on risk vs. reward.
They want everyone to be under some sort of directing and commanding structure just as they have been under for all their working lives. As a small but pointed example, I have one friend who served under the Federal Government and is now retired. He is going through the roof that his COLA (cost of living allowance) or something like that is not up to all the other years since he's been retired.
I mentioned that all of us have to sacrifice during these times and he pretty much spit out that thought saying he deserved his retirement raise and could care less about the others who were losing their jobs or businesses. And he is not the exception. He represents the rule.
And that is because he is a Federal Employee and he is guaranteed what he wants, he says."The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers it can bribe the public with the public's own money.

We seem to be hearing this particular refrain on a continual basis yet no one appears to be able to state categorically or even nominally what specific rights and sections of the Constitution are being bypassed.
An explanation of how all this bypassig is being accomplished is also absent.
I have to agree with you for the most part. He might have some other not so good motives mixed in but I don't think he's trying to bring down the country. I think he's just a poor president. I don't fear him nearly as much as I fear the voting public that elected him. No one ever brought up that I can remember any other president's family protection & compared it to their own family before in a pro-gun add & there were plenty of anti-gun legislation presidents.

As I alluded to in the Lincoln topic, two different administrations have used drones to kill US citizens under the guise of The War On Terror.
To me and many others, being a US citizen means the RIGHT to due process under Constitutional provision regardless of crimes. Since the Constitutional clauses are contained in both the 5th and 14th amendments, how can this been seen as not a right? Since, of course, the 5th is part of the Bill of Rights.
What constitutional authority did either administration have to act as judge, jury and executioner of US citizens?"Social networking" is an oxymoron.

I also find the use of drones in this manner troubling but I assume the legal authorization comes from Wartime provisions and military law.
I would like to see a case brought before the High Nine on this issue as this seems to be one of those grey areas where technology has outstripped case law.
However, given the current makeup of the Supreme Court, I would bet they would find no conflict with Constitutional rights.
Could be, however I have found no such language in the war powers act. Further, what happens to traitors is covered under existing law, and one must be CONVICTED. Aaron Burr, for example, had a trial.

We'll have this discussion for a long time to come methinks."Social networking" is an oxymoron.
As an addendum to my previous post, I'd also like to point out that it is the opinon of several constitutional scholars that the definition of executive power is intentionally left "fuzzy", if you will.
That's because there is one fear; if we define it too closely, we may find that definition hamstrung a president and prevented him or her from preventing something really bad happening.
We can't forsee everything, so that is perhaps wise. When we argue over what has happened, then the Supreme Court decides AFTER THE FACT whether or not the action was proper."Social networking" is an oxymoron.

I don't see the two situations as analogous. In our modern case, the person declared himself a traitor and operated as an ally of a foreign enemy during a state of war.
I certainly agree. The larger point was that ANY president can have a similar charge made against them. We've been going round and round on this since Lincoln. Certainly Supreme Court decisions made over time appear to have backed Lincoln's actions in a general sense as well.
We'll have this discussion for a long time to come methinks.

But you sound like you are describing is a democracy. We do not have a democracy. We have a repulubic and that is very different from a democracy.
In a democracy the people get to decide and they get to decide pretty much on the spot so even basic fundenments can change rapidly.
In a republic our founding fathers wanted to eliminate the sitituations of which you speak. So they designed a guidance system containing numberous checks and balances with some over-rides here in there for safety measures. And even with those over-rides checks and balances and consequences were included to maintain the intergrity of the original instructions that the US operates under.
Now how it done under those original instructions is where the fun begins. But, overall, systems are in place in our three bodies of our Federal, state and local governments to keep us headed at least in the right directions, even if some don't thing it's the right way to get there.
Our nation, a replubic, is based on "the rule of law". And that law is to followed. And the interpertation is continually challenged by people who want to get around that law or that interpit the law to benefit themself.
So our check and balances kick in. And all of this takes time because justice is slow and that's the way it should be.
obama has the same directions as all other presidents but in his mission to restructure the US to meet his belief system he is riding that fine gray line of pushing the rule of law out and replacing it with his system on kingship, for lack of a better term.
His frequent use of his power to use the Presidents executive order is one recent example. And now he is using inour face. So you should ask "where are the checks & balances that are in our republic"? They still exist but are not going to be used because our system of law under our republic has been poluted by the lack of and williness of the people who are the ones who are suppose to bring into action those checks and balances.
One small but major example, which has not been challenged if you notice, is the lack of the Senate to pass a balance budget for the past 4 years. That is a requirement of our "rule of law" in order to maintain our countries stability and integrity. But it's not been done and why have the American citizens not confronted their elected leaders to that fact including bringing in the consequences of breaking our laws?
Bottom line is the "new" type citizens that obama has now engaged in a force equal to a large army, large enough to vote him back in and large enough to quiet the rest of the American citizens, well, our system still exists in words only but not in action.
So we are headed in a direction away from our design. And that process has been in process for years with the final and natural result of putting someone in office and allowing people in our Congress that only follow their feelings, desires and group policies in place of following the Constitution and The Bill of Rights.
We no longer have a form of Government that is for the people and by the people. They exist for themselves. And now the fox is not only in the hen house but he's moved into the hen house with permission of 51% of the hens. Now that is the definition of stupid."The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers it can bribe the public with the public's own money.
- Alexis de Toqueville, 1835
What we are seeing is the end of the era of Reaganism and the beginning of something different. The Reagan ideal is "Liberty" and "government you could drown in a bathtub". This new thing is different, it seems to be a more "Liberty and Justice for all". Will it work? Time will tell. All I know is the groundwork laid down by ol rotten Ronnie created the biggest disparity in wealth this country has seen since the robber baron age so I'm willing to do a wait and see.

Poetry News:
Elders of the Sty
Edmund August
My father calls it Bacon Day.
The menfolk's forearms have worn a dark shine
on the pen's top rail, right above the bald earth
where their boots worry away the grass.
They talk about the pond inverting,
its black bottom roiling to the top.
The fire pops and spits when the scrub water
comes to a boil, and the slaughter begins.
My father draws his bone handled knife,
and I hold my breath, try not to throw up
at the smell of hog hair hit with scalding water
then scrapped off the skin, of hot intestines
scooped out of the boar and dropped
onto the dirt, and the pig shit my father says
smells like money. The biggest sow
warns off her siblings and offspring,
scarfs her old mates insides off the ground.
Never fails, says my father. Never waste anything.
That's why they call'em hogs, my boy.
Little squealers ain't growed all that greed, yet.
But they'll get there, be elders of the sty
one day, rich and ready to harvest.

Truett-McConnell College has now expanded its curriculum to include 12 bachelor's degree programs. The two most recent ones, which were added during the summer of 2008, are Bachelor of Arts in English and Bachelor of Arts in Business. In addition, Georgia's Professional Standards Commission approved the Bachelor of Science in Education degree program for the certification of teachers.
Awed by Austen? Fascinated by Fitzgerald? Stunned by Shakespeare? Then you will love the new Bachelor of Arts in English degree program now offered by Truett-McConnell.
Employers want to hire people who can read between the lines, write clearly and think creatively. Or you may use the Bachelor of Arts in English degree as a foundation for advanced study in literature, history, law or any liberal arts discipline.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn practical and lucrative skills while studying the world's most beautiful literature. The Bachelor of Arts in English degree program was approved in mid-August by The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
On May 29, Truett-McConnell received the news from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) that TMC's Bachelor of Arts in Business degree program had been approved to begin in fall 2008. Courses are offered at the junior level, in addition to the normal freshman and sophomore courses, during the 2008-2009 academic year, and in the fall of 2009 senior-level courses will be added. For information about admission to the program, call 1-800-226-8621.
Truett-McConnell College is pleased to announce that its Bachelor of Science in Education degree has been approved by the Professional Standards Commission of the Georgia Department of Education for the certification of teachers in early childhood education. The degree program received approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the agency that accredits all colleges and universities in the South, more than two years ago.
The Professional Standards Commission named a team to visit the campus in April 2008 and write a report on the progress of the bachelor's degree program in education. The college's own self-study and the recommendation of the visiting committee were submitted to the Professional Standards Commission, and the college received notification on July 11 that the Commission has approved Truett-McConnell's early childhood education degree program for the certification of teachers.

We support individuals and organizations that contribute free/libre/open-source solutions to common challenges.
Devin was a social entrepreneur who created a challenge-based crowdfunding platform for nonprofit organizations. When he realized that a lack of collaboration and coordination between nonprofit organizations was limiting the social sector's effectiveness much more than its lack of funding was, he abandoned his for-profit venture to investigate where radical social innovation was taking place. The more Devin learned about how free/libre/open-source software is revolutionizing the software industry, the more determined he became to apply the same process and principles to civil society to drastically increase its capacity to provide high quality services to the public for dramatically lower costs than existing solutions.
Devin has since worked with a wide range of groups including community organizations, nonprofits, small farms, social movements and software projects to design, develop, deploy and document FLO solutions. Devin holds a Bachelor of Science from Northwestern University.
Leah learned about FLO technologies when studying towards a Master's degree in Media, Culture and Communication at NYU during the Fall of 2011. Invigorated by the cries of activists taking democracy into their own hands, she was surprised to find the real revolution taking place behind computer screens. It involved more data standards and wiki'ing than marching in the streets—and it revealed the potential to transform our economy and our world. Since then, Leah's been organizing within the FLO movement to increase our collective capacity to take on challenges and innovate effectively.
Before landing in the world of media and technology, Leah worked in international development and food justice, including an extended period working with environmental and economic development projects in India and Indonesia. Leah's especially passionate about FLO's potential to transform our food system and relationship with the natural world. Leah holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania.
Announcements about our Board of Directors, Advisory Council and Collaboration Network are coming soon.

We identify challenges facing individuals, groups and organizations, determine how those challenges can be overcome with FLO tools and techniques, implement those tools and techniques in a way that meets the identified needs, and then produce culturally-appropriate documentation and training programs so as many people as possible can benefit for our solutions. If existing FLO tools and techniques don't meet the identified need, we help design, develop and document a solution of our own. Since we work with a network of solutions developers, our team can tackle challenges that range from software programming to rural space utilization.
We facilitate collaborations between space owners/managers and FLO community members who could benefit from access to their space. We perform this function locally by building relationships between space owners and FLOers, developing space utilization agreements that meet all stakeholders' needs, and publishing information about those agreements and other solutions that make these relationships sustainable. We work on this issue globally by helping space owners/managers make information about their spaces accessible to their inhabitants, to each other and to the general public.
We utilize FLO solutions in physical spaces to provide services to our community. We do this locally through programs that bring people with expertise in using FLO solutions together with the individuals and groups that could use them to do the most possible good. We do this globally by gifting our resources to FLO projects that can significantly advance the FLO movement—and since there is so little awareness about the FLO movement and projects within it, we often provide strategic communication and media relations services.

Identity Conflict
In 1971, 10-year-old Barack, commonly known as "Barry" in his early years, returned to Hawaii to live with grandparents Madelyn and Stanley Dunham. According to David Mendell, a Chicago Tribune reporter, being separated from his mother was a dramatic experience.
He said, "he missed her greatly at times."
Obama was enrolled in the fifth grade at the esteemed Punahou Academy after returning to Hawaii and graduated with honors in 1979. He was one of three black students at the entire school.
His half-sister Soetoro-Ng said that Obama felt the first stirrings of loneliness while attending this school. It was the first time that "there was nobody there that completely understood him," she said.
When Obama was in fifth grade, Barack Sr. visited Hawaii, but the intended joyous trip only caused a disruption. Soetoro-Ng said it was confusing for her half-brother and that he did not feel his father was entitled to make decisions about his life.
Before Barack Sr. left, he gave Obama records of African music and a basketball, which also failed to bridge the gap between father and son, according to the A&E video.In 1972, Obama's mother separated from her second husband and returned to Hawaii with Maya to complete her masters in anthropology at the University of Hawaii.
Dunham taught her children the lessons she learned in her studies, especially those of the underprivileged, according to the A&E video. Soetoro-Ng said that her mother had dolls that were "all the colors of the rainbow, and in fact, that is what our family looked like."
Mimicking 'Black Behavior'
Obama's high school years were filled with continuous efforts to find his place within the society around him. Mendell wrote that Obama tried to mimic what he thought was "black behavior," including slacking off in schoolwork, playing basketball and experimenting with alcohol, marijuana and cocaine.

State Facts About Unintended Pregnancy: Oklahoma
National Background and Context
Unintended pregnancy can have significant, negative consequences for individual women, their families and society as a whole. An extensive body of research links births resulting from unintended or closely spaced pregnancies to adverse maternal and child health outcomes and myriad social and economic challenges.(1,2)
In 2006, the last year for which data are available, the U.S. unintended pregnancy rate was 52 per 1,000 women aged 15-44, a level significantly higher than that in many other developed countries.(3,4) Half of all pregnancies in the United States each year are unintended, including eight in 10 teen pregnancies.(3) If current trends continue, more than half of all women in the United States will experience an unintended pregnancy by the time they reach age 45.(3,5) And economically disadvantaged women are disproportionately affected by unintended pregnancy and its consequences: In 2006, the unintended pregnancy rate among women with incomes lower than the federal poverty level, at 132 per 1,000, was more than five times as high as the rate among women with incomes greater than 200% of poverty (24 per 1,000).(5)
In any given year, the two-thirds of women in the United States at risk of unintended pregnancy who use contraceptives consistently throughout the year account for only 5% of all unintended pregnancies; fully 95% of unintended pregnancies are attributable to the one-third of women who do not use contraceptives or who use them inconsistently.(6) Public programs—notably Medicaid and the Title X national family planning program—are central to women's access to affordable contraceptive services and supplies and their ability to use contraceptives effectively. In 2006, more than nine million women received publicly funded family planning services; these services helped women avoid nearly two million unintended pregnancies, which would likely have resulted in approximately 860,000 unplanned births and 810,000 abortions.(6) Absent publicly funded family planning services, the numbers of unintended pregnancies and abortions in the United States would be nearly two-thirds higher than they currently are among women overall and among teens.(6)
Births resulting from unintended pregnancy are also costly to the federal and state governments, resulting in $11 billion in government expenditures in 2006.(7) Without publicly funded family planning services, the annual cost of unintended pregnancy nationwide would be more than 60% higher than it is today. By helping women avoid unintended pregnancies, these services saved taxpayers $5.1 billion in 2008, nearly $4 for every $1 spent.(8)
Incidence and Outcomes of Unintended Pregnancy in Oklahoma

• In Oklahoma in 2006, 48% of all births (26,100) resulted from unintended pregnancies, compared with 38% nationally.(7)
Public Cost of Unintended Pregnancy in Oklahoma
• In 2006, 18,400 or 70% of births that resulted from unintended pregnancy in Oklahoma were publicly funded. Nationally, 64% of births that resulted from unintended pregnancy were publicly funded, ranging from a low of 42% in Hawaii to a high of 81% in both Louisiana and Mississippi.(7)

Preventing Unintended Pregnancy in Oklahoma
• In 2008, 206,600 Oklahoma women aged 13-44 were in need of publicly funded family planning services.(8)
• Publicly supported family planning centers in Oklahoma served 119,400 female contraceptive clients in 2008. Those centers met 58% of Oklahoma women's need for contraceptive services and supplies, compared with 41% met by family planning centers nationally.(8)
• In 2010, the reported public expenditures for family planning client services in Oklahoma totaled $31 million; this includes $22.2 million through Medicaid and $2.9 million through Title X. Most states also use some of their own money (in addition to funds required to match federal grants) for family planning services; in 2010, Oklahoma contributed $6 million.(11)
• The services provided by family planning centers in Oklahoma helped avert 24,800 unintended pregnancies in 2008, which would likely have resulted in 11,000 births and 10,400 abortions.(8)
• Averting these unintended pregnancies in Oklahoma helped save the federal and state governments $75.8 million in Medicaid costs for pregnancy-related and newborn care in 2008.(8)

Video: Kriss Mincey Talks American Idol
Aberdeen High School and University of Maryland alum Kriss Mincey got through to Hollywood.
Kriss Mincey is a relative newcomer to the music scene. At Aberdeen High School, Mincey—who grew up in Baltimore, Richmond and points in between—took up dance and came out of her shell. She never returned to that shell. It was in College Park where she really began to explore music. As a student at the University of Maryland, Mincey found her niche. Now, Mincey, 22, is on the world's stage as a contestant on American Idol. She's made it to Hollywood. Beyond that, she can't say much. She chatted with Patch during her visit to Aberdeen High, where she and her sister, Lydia, gave us a tour and a look back at her time as an Eagle. She even ran into two of her favorite teachers from her days in the Science and Math Academy at Aberdeen. » Check…

Hornets match Suns offer sheet to Eric Gordon
Originally published: Jul 14, 2012 - 1:04 pm
No surprise here.
As expected, the New Orleans Hornets agreed to match the Phoenix Suns' four-year, $58 million offer sheet to restricted free agent guard Eric Gordon.
Despite Gordon's very public comments expressing a desire to leave New Orleans, the Hornets decided to keep the talented shooting guard in the fold.
The Suns signed Gordon to an offer sheet Wednesday, giving the Hornets three days to respond. The Hornets had until 11:59 p.m. Saturday to match.
Gordon averaged 20.6 points and 2.8 rebounds for the 2011-2012 season.
The Suns and President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby released a statement following the news of losing out on Gordon.
"While we are disappointed that Eric [Gordon] will not be a Sun at this time, we have no regrets in doing all that we could under the rules to bring him to Phoenix.
"Once Eric passes his physical in New Orleans, our full cap room will be restored and we will move forward in free agency. In the meantime, we are on track to pursue our plans."
With Gordon out of the mix, the Suns will likely shift their focus to free agent O.J. Mayo, who met with Suns' brass Friday.
The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 12.6 points and 3.2 rebounds in 66 games coming off the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies last season.
For his career, Mayo has averaged 15.2 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
