Following a violent start to 2013, and Pendleton's murder, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Thursday plans to reassign 200 Chicago police officers from desk duty to patrol work.
"When any young person in our city is gunned down without reason," Emanuel said, "their death makes an impression on all of us."
Emanuel admits, though, adding more police officers to the street is just a small part of the solution. He said values, gun laws and programs for kids should all be part of the discussion.

Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy met at police headquarters Thursday morning to address Chicago's growing homicide rate in the wake of the girl's death. Then they announced the new anti-violence initiative to reassign hundreds of police officers to street duty.
"Public safety is our top priority and that's why 200 officers are returning from office responsibility to the critical goal of preventing violence," McCarthy said. "That's what they were hired to do, and that's what we expect them to do."Friends, family and supporters gathered Thursday evening at a fundraiser for the Pendleton family.
Nate Pendleton has been hearing from people around the country in the wake of the shooting death of his daughter Hadiya.
"It means a lot, keeps me sane," he said.
Police said earlier that the victim and her friends were good kids and were not the intended target in the gang-related shooting at Vivian Gordon Harsh Park.
Pendleton was with friends Tuesday after school let out early for finals. Police say a suspect ran toward the group and fired several shots-- leaving Pendleton dead and one other teen injured.
As the gunfire broke out Tuesday afternoon, a surveillance camera captured video of several young people fleeing the scene.
Police arrived moments later and found Pendleton had been fatally shot.
When she was in 6th grade at Carter G. Woodson Elementary School on the South Side, Hadiya Pendleton appeared in an anti-gang violence video.
"So many children out there are in gangs, and it is your job as students to say no to gangs and yes to your future," Hadiya says in the video.
The 15-year-old King College Prep majorette was gunned down in a North Kenwood park by an unknown gunman Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities believe the shooter was protecting his territory, possibly mistaking the group of innocent teens for a rival gang.
Pendleton's death has sparked outrage and attracted attention both locally and nationally. She has become a symbol of increasing Chicago violence and has become a part of the national debate on guns.
In the wake of her death, Thursday morning, Emanuel and McCarthy announced that 200 police officers will be reassigned from desk duty to patrol work. Their replacements will be civilians.
Fraternal Order of Police President Mike Shields says the move is not the solution, and the police union is re-emphasizing that hiring more officers is the best way.
"This is classic Emanuel administration policing by press conference, and you know what, this is not working," said Shields.
Wednesday, the White House expressed sorrow about the deadly shooting.
"It's a terrible tragedy anytime a young person is struck down with so much of their life ahead of them, and we see it far too often," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. "The president and first lady's thoughts and prayers are with the family of Hadiya Pendleton."
Emanuel visited Pendleton's family Wednesday night, spending an hour with her parents and classmates. McCarthy met Pendleton's family at the scene of the shooting.
"We cannot let the offender get away with this senseless tragedy," McCarthy said Wednesday.
Pendleton's family is focused on mourning and laying her to rest. They say they trust police will find the killer.
A reward of $24,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of Pendleton's killer.

UC Hastings Professors Robin Feldman, Elizabeth L. Hillman, and Joan C. Williams chose to explore hot-button topics in their fields long before those issues became trendy. These professors are just three of the many UC Hastings scholars who have earned stellar reputations for having their fingers on the pulse of what's coursing through society.
Credit UC Hastings' academic culture, which fosters thoroughly researched work, vetted by colleagues, that espouses novel legal theories. Spanning every discipline, scholarship at UC Hastings infuses public debate and often translates into policy changes adopted by legislative and regulatory bodies.
Research by Feldman, Hillman, and Williams has triggered changes in legislation and rule making across agencies as diverse as the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Labor. The professors' scholarly work in the fields of intellectual property, military violence, and work-life balance has been published in world-class law reviews and cited in court briefs; it has also reached mainstream audiences through blog posts and op-ed pieces.
Elizabeth L. Hillman: Influencing Military Justice Reform
Provost and Academic Dean Elizabeth L. Hillman was appointed in the spring of 2013 by the House Armed Services Committee's ranking minority member to serve on an independent sexual assault review panel that will recommend policy changes to the Department of Defense, the latest example of her influence on military justice reform.
That history began in 2000, when Hillman served as a reporter for a blue-ribbon panel convened on the 50th anniversary of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and is rooted in her scholarship about military sexual assault and civil rights.
"Women in the military are more likely to be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder because of rape by another service member than by combat," explains Hillman, who has testified before Congress and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and is assisting lawmakers who are drafting bills proposing significant changes in military justice.
In addition to her academic work, Hillman serves as president of the National Institute of Military Justice and as co–legal director of the Palm Center, an independent think tank that sponsored much of the critical empirical research that led to the end of "don't ask, don't tell."
The author of two books, Hillman is now working on a comparative study for the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights that will identify best practices for handling military sexual assault and harassment by examining what's done in countries other than the United States.
"In general, our topics find us," she says about choosing what to research. "I try to keep talking to people—not just scholars but veterans, legal practitioners, judges, community groups, and gay and lesbian groups. It helps me get a sense of what people are concerned about and what we need to work on."
Being a neutral academic offers an ideal vantage point for analyzing these issues. "I can avoid absolutes," Hillman explains. "There are two competing views: There's a rigid feminist view that the military is so masculine and violent, there's no way rape can be eradicated. In sharp contrast are military professionals, government actors, and some pop culture, which view the military as a protector of all things noble and good. That disconnect makes it difficult to craft solutions. Being both a former military officer and feminist scholar, I can help bridge some of those gaps."

Buffalo ARM9 Kernel Port
Stock Kernel
Linux version 22.214.171.124-arm1 (root@develop) (gcc version 3.4.4 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)) #75 Sun Jun 11 14:33:24 JST 2006
This is available at [1]
How to Get GPL Build Kernel Run Under Linkstation Live Stock Environment
Buffalo did not provide any means to setup correct Product ID for Linkstation Live in Makefile came with GPL release soruce. Without the correct Product ID, Linkstation will enter EM Mode upon reboot with the new build kernel. We have to patch one of the source file directly in order to get the kernel work with the Stock initrd and root filesystem. You don't need the below patch if you don't use your custom build kernel with the Stock environment and the Product ID below only applicable to Linkstation Live
Code Modification - buffalocore.c
Change directory to top of the source tree and modify buffalo/drivers/buffalocore.c like below:
Search and change the line from: len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTNAME=LS-GL(IESADA)\n"); to: len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTNAME=HS-DHGL(JINMU)\n");
Search and change the line from: len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTID=0x00000009\n"); to len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTID=0x0000000A\n");
Ater that you can 'make menuconfig' to add/remove kernel options as usual and build the kernel.
Stock File System Modification
When you reboot the Linkstation with the new build kernel it will enter EM Mode, use acp_commander to reset root password and enable telnet access. Logon to the Linkstation and enter:
grep BUILDDATE /proc/buffalo/firmware
Replace the above grep output line with the same line in /etc/linkstation_release and reboot. Your Linkstation should now resume to normal mode.
Mainline Kernel
jonli447 and lb_worm were trying to create a patch for the vanilla kernel [2] so we could use the kernel.org sources for the arm9-buffalo-boxes easily. But the guys from Marvell have done a great job in doing that so the nas-central community have stopped efforts in doing that to focus on helping with the Marvell's git. Marvell's code was merged into 2.6.25 with the latest development going into the Orion repository which has been merged into mainline.
At this time (12/21/2008) the kernel (2.6.28-rc9) supports:
- Buffalo Terastation Pro II/Live
- Buffalo Linkstation Pro/Live
- Buffalo Linkstation Mini
- Linksys WRT350N v2
- Technologic Systems TS-78xx
- LaCie Ethernet Disk mini V2
- Maxtor Shared Storage II
- Netgear WNR854T
- Marvell Orion-VoIP GE Reference Design
- Marvell Orion-VoIP FXO Reference Design
- Marvell Orion-1-90 AP GE Reference Design
- The Buffalo Linkstation Pro/Revogear Kurobox Pro support (MV88F5182)
- The Marvell Orion-2 (MV88F5281) Development Board
- The OrionNAS Reference Design board (MV88F5182)
- The D-Link DNS-323 board (MV88F5181)
- The QNAP TS109/209/409 boards (MV88F5182 & MV88F5281)
- The HP Media Vault mv2120
Containing support for devices:
- The NAND Flash controller
- The SATA controller
- The Ethernet controller
- The USB controller
- The PCI controller
- The GPIO controller
- The Serial Port controller
- The I2C controller
XFS has had problems on arm for a long time. Two patches [3][4] have improved the situation but there is still one problem remaining [5].
The things that are not yet supported :
- The CESA hardware engine is not yet supported (usefull for cryptographic and security operations)
- The XOR hardware engine is not yet supported (usefull for iSCSI or RAID5 operations)
- OABI rootfs & applications when using a 88F5281-D0 (other SoC are OK)

Note: By using the kernels from svn/git, users are still subject to the LinkstationWiki BetaTesters ToS and Disclaimer (Not trying to scare people, just warning newbies).
Compilation & Installation Instructions
- Install either a native or cross toolchain. Cross-compiling with the codesourcery toolchain (2007q3) is reccomended. If your cross compile machine runs Debian, or similar, you can use the cross compilation toolchain repository supplied by Emdebian. Gentoo users may use sys-devel/crossdev.
- Download mkimage to somewhere in your path. Gentoo users may get it by emerging dev-embedded/u-boot-tools, Debian has a package named uboot-mkimage.
- Ensure you have the devio command installed (sys-block/devio in Gentoo).
- Obtain the kernel sources, this can either be 2.6.25 or greater from kernel.org or you can use the Orion development repository:
git clone git://git.marvell.com/orion.git
- Change to your sources directory and create the kernel config:
make ARCH=arm orion5x_defconfig
- Run the following command to make any changes to the config file (including any ReiserFS or JFS support):
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
- Run
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- zImage
- After kernel is finished compiling, you need to force it to use the correct mach-type for your device:
# The version number at the end of each line is the kernel version that first # supported that device. Run only the line that corresponds to your device. # This will set the machine type of the kernel, which cannot be autodetected. # Last 2 characters of wl-command form the machine types. So '0631' for the Linkstation Pro. devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811031,4' # Linkstation Pro/Live (2.6.26) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c05,4' 'wl 0xe38110e5,4' # Kurobox Pro (2.6.25) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe381101d,4' # QNAP TS-109/TS-209 (2.6.25) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811041,4' # QNAP TS-409 (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811006,4' # D-Link DNS-323 (2.6.25) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe381109d,4' # HP Media Vault MV2120 (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811074,4' # Technologic Systems TS-78xx SBC (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe38110e6,4' # Maxtor Shared Storage II (2.6.27) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811061,4' # Linksys WRT350N v2 (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c07,4' 'wl 0xe3811027,4' # Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo (Is this right?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c07,4' 'wl 0xe3811042,4' # Buffalo Linkstation Mini devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811030,4' # Buffalo TS Pro V2 (not yet supported in Vanilla 2.6.26 as of Aug. 10th, 2008) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c07,4' 'wl 0xe3811065,4' # Netronix NH-233 # Run all of the following: cat foo arch/arm/boot/zImage > zImage.new mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'linux' -d zImage.new uImage.new rm foo zImage.new
- The new uImage will be called uImage.new, copy this to its destination. For a Linkstation/Kuro this is the /boot/uImage.buffalo.
- If necessary, compile modules and be sure if you are cross compiling not to set the install path to the hosts root:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- modules make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/<absolute/dir/loc/not/root/dir>
- copy lib/ directory that is created to / of linkstation

Police Bike
- "Police Bike" refers to the police motorcycle in The Ballad of Gay Tony. For other police bikes in the GTA series, see HPV-1000 or VCPD Wintergreen.
|Police Bike
|The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
|Vehicle type
|Law enforcement motorcycle
|Body style
|Police patrol bike
|1 (driver only)
|Western Motorcycle Company
The Police Bike is a Liberty City Police Department, Los Santos Police Department and Los Santos County Sheriff police motorcycle normally featured only in The Ballad of Gay Tony's multiplayer as well as in Grand Theft Auto V.
Based off a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, the Police Bike is styled as a police-adopted touring motorcycle in LCPD's white-and-blue livery. The bike is also prominently equipped with a fairing, and side and back-mounted panniers/boxes.
Despite most motorbikes being able to seat two people, however, the Police Bike can only seat one person as a box has occupied the area where the rear seat should be. In addition, while the Police Bike is additionally equipped with strobe lights and a siren, activating them will not force any traffic ahead to make way. The bike also lacks an emergency radio or access to other radio stations by default in single player; as are other law enforcement vehicles, however, players can listen to radio stations from the bike in multiplayer.
Like the Police Stinger and Buffalo-based Police Cruiser, the bike is neither ridden by any NPC police officer nor seen in The Ballad of Gay Tony's single player mode. The only conventional means of finding and obtaining the vehicle is via specific multiplayer modes, such as Free Mode.
While bulkier, the Police Bike's performance is comparable to that of the Freeway. The bike can achieve top speeds of roughly 80 mph/130 km/h and is similarly capable of moderate acceleration, making the bike's speed effective only when ridden along longer straightaways; the bike's brakes are similarly effective even in high speeds.
The bike is more nimble, however, being capable of taking corners more sharply than other similarly built bikes. While still weaker than full-size vehicles, the Police Bike's durability is one of the best in the motorcycle class, being able to take around ten high-speed collisions before failing.
- The default radio stations on the Police Bike are Liberty Rock Radio 97.8 and rarely LCHC.
- Oddly, the Police Bike features blue and red lights instead of the LCPD standard red and white lights, similar to the Police Stinger in that aspect. The light reflections of the Bike are also brighter than that of other police vehicles in Grand Theft Auto IV.
- The Sovereign motorcycle that appears in the Independence Day Special update for GTA V is a retexture of the Police Bike. As the Sovereign is manufactured by the Western Motorcycle Company, it can be assumed that the Police Bike is as well.
As mentioned, the Police Bike is only available in selected multiplayer modes in The Ballad of Gay Tony. In Free Mode, the bike will spawn in the following locations:
- In front of the Hove Beach police station.
- In front of the LCPD Headquarters in Lower Easton.
- In the parking lot of the East Island City police station.
- In the parking lot of the Leftwood police station.
The only other means of obtaining the bike, including in single player, is via trainers.

Losing weight, getting lean
Small government is good in a small town.
Big government in a small town is bad.
That's why we like what the Mammoth Town Council did the other night.
Acting almost under the radar, the council took quick, decisive action in streamlining the town government at the commission level, dissolving the useless Public Arts Commission, combining the transportation wonks into one commission and downsizing all over the place.
That's bad news for the people who don't have a whole lot to do around here except sit on commissions, but we're not going to spend any time fretting over that. It will give them more time to work on their golf games, we figure.
There is only one citizen commission that is important, anyway. That would be the Recreation Commission.
The Rec Commission, which was downsized from seven members to five, makes policy decisions over the administration of Measure R and Measure U funds. Given the town's fiscal realities, the Rec Commission therefore is the only body that can get creative with guaranteed (supposedly) incoming money.
It oversees a host of other things, such as youth soccer, youth football, the ice rink, gymnastics, our parks and so on. We need that stuff in a recreation-oriented town, but we don't need seven people to do that. In fact, if it were up to us, we'd downsize it even further, to three.
The other commission that has legs is the Planning Commission, but it has been rendered useless by the Depression. It doesn't have much to do these days. With building projects at a standstill, there isn't really anything much to plan.
The re-zoning project is done and the sign ordinance is done, too. If the Planning Commission took a year off, say, we doubt anyone would notice.
As for the other commissions, many of them have so many vacancies coming up (see article, P.1) that it would take a month for the council to interview and vet candidates—an obvious waste of time.
The big beneficiaries of this round of slashes and burns are members of the town staff, who are overloaded with work requests, many from the aforesaid useless commissions.
The big losers are people like us in the media, who have made much of our living off the wanton and frequently bombastic doings from the Suite Z dais.
We're guessing we'll shed no tears, though.
Even when the town was bouncing along in the big boom, we really didn't need all this government at the mid-level stage. The town just got carried away with itself, that's all. It's human nature in a representative democracy.
You can check that out with the Department of Redundancy Department in Sacramento or Washington.
No more of that in Our Small Burgh, though.
Our favorite comment from the other night came from Councilman Rick Wood.
When the council brought up the town's Public Arts Commission, Wood waited about a hundredth of a second, and then said, "Dissolve it."
That sounded like music to us.

Dioxin is a carcinogenic byproduct of many industrial processes, such as waste incineration, chemical and pesticide manufacturing, and pulp and paper bleaching. Unfortunately, dioxin is ubiquitous in the environment, and low levels are even found on the foods we eat. Researchers in Japan have experimented with using green tea extracts to block the cancer-causing effects of dioxin on cells. They uncovered a number of different compounds that are effective in combating this toxin.
The amount of green tea that was needed to affect the dioxin levels is higher than most people drink, but even small amounts of tea can have a healthful effect. You can also get some of the dioxin-blocking compounds by eating foods such as green apples, kale, and spinach.

Looks as if Simon Cowell is putting the "pro" in "procreation."
The 53-year-old father-to-be — he knocked up Lauren Silverman, a friend's wife, who allegedly was not separated from her hubby at the time of the knocking — is putting a positive spin on the situation.
"Things are changing in my life right now, for the better," the "X Factor" judge told the BBC on the red carpet ahead of the London premiere of British boy band One Direction's documentary "This Is Us."
"I'm proud to be a dad," he said. "It's something I hadn't thought of before, but now I know I feel good about it."
"She's [Lauren] a very special girl."
Cowell had been named by Andrew Silverman as a co-respondent in his divorce petition, alleging adultery and putting the music impresario in the potentially embarrassing position of possibly having to take the stand in an ugly divorce.
But he lucked out last week when Lauren and Andrew reached what People called an "amicable" out-of-court settlement.
One Direction, of course, was formed on the seventh season of the British incarnation of "The X Factor," finishing in third place. The band then signed with Cowell's record label. So they're kind of his baby too.

The Lohans came together for a traditional family Christmas photo on Sunday -- but one person was conspicuously missing ...
While Ali, Dina, Mike Jr., Lindsay, and Cody chowed down in Long Island to commemorate the birthday of Jesus -- Michael Lohan was stuck in Florida ... completing his court-ordered 4-month stint at a treatment center, which includes a domestic violence intervention program.
Sources close to the Lohans tell us, it was pretty joyous -- lots of gifts, delicious food, and no one jumping off a 3-story balcony.

MIAMI - When local sportscasters constantly praise one team over another it is called being a homer. But when they do it in the NBA Finals it is called a cheap shot.
Those were the sentiments of TNT analyst Charles Barkley. The man known as The Fat Bro stated that it was as obvious as the belly on Kim Kardashian that game announcers Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy spent a lot of their talk time oohing and awing everything that LeBron James and his Heat teammates did.
Barkley said that he wondered if the twin twits are on the Miami Heat payroll since they barely mentioned the other team (San Antonio) who by the way, won the game.
Van Gundy and Breen collectively did manage to mention Tim Duncan's name twice, Manu Ginobili's name twice, and Tony Parker's an amazing three times during the 3 hour telecast.
Meanwhile the Miami Heat announcers [i.e. Van Gundy and Breen] managed to mention LeBron James' name 79 times, Dwyane Wade's name 73 times, and Chris Bosh's name 71 times.
Van Gundy, who looks like a homely computer geek, also mentioned Barbara Walters name 42 times, Gary Busey's name 38 times, and Lindsay Lohan's name 29 times.
SIDENOTE: Charles Barkley said that if the twin twits keep on with their very obvious childish game-playing then Commissioner David Stern should seriously consider hitting both weasels with technicals and a $10,000 fine each.

A Commodity ETF Growing Like a Weed
01/01/2013 10:00 am EST
Focus: ETFs
After years of slow growth, timber is back as an attractive long-term investment, and this exchange traded fund is a great way to get involved, writes Nick Vardy of The Alpha Investor Letter.
Timber is a longtime favorite of some of the top investors in the world. Value investing legend Jeremy Grantham believes that timberland is the single best long-term investment. And last year, the Harvard Endowment Fund had about a 10% weighting in timber, then increased its weighting for the coming year.
The best way to invest in timber is through the S&P Global Timber & Forestry Index Fund (WOOD), an exchange traded fund.
Taking a long-term view as they do, it is easy to see why Grantham and Harvard are so enthusiastic about timber. After all, trees grow through bear markets. Trees grow through bull markets. Trees simply grow through everything.
The price of timber has grown at a remarkably consistent rate throughout the years, increasing in price by an average of 6% every year for the past century, including during two World Wars, the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, and 9/11.
Between 1971 and 2010, timber boasted average annual returns of over 14%. In 2008, while the S&P 500 fell 38%, the value of timberland rose 9.5%. If there is a way for you to protect yourself against a crash in financial markets, timber is it.
Timber offers higher returns than the overall stock market. Timber also offers substantial downside protection, and has a history of performing well during inflationary times. That's a hard combination to beat.
Global timber supply is falling. Thanks to a combination of urban development, agriculture, and illegal logging, 10% of the world's forests have disappeared in the last 25 years. At the same time, there has been a surge of demand for timber from across the globe—primarily from Asia, and specifically Japan, South Korea, and China.
The most straightforward way you can invest in managed timberlands is by buying an exchange traded fund such as WOOD, which tracks the performance of forestry and timber firms worldwide.
A big chunk of WOOD—44.52%—is invested in companies based in the United States. But an even bigger portion is invested in global stocks. Japan accounts for 9.29% of the ETF, while there are large allocations to Canada (9.28%), Brazil (8.78%), Finland (7.63%), and Singapore (7.47%).
WOOD's three top holdings—together accounting for 22.88% of its portfolio—are US-based timber companies that you can invest in individually, as well: Weyerhaeuser (WY), Rayonier (RYN), and Plum Creek Timber (PCL).
From a technical perspective, S&P Global Timber & Forestry Index Fund has broken out recently to the upside and is now in a solid uptrend. Don't worry...there is plenty of upside left.

I do love hearing from fellow researchers who find their ancestors in unconventional ways. Their stories confirm my belief that the most successful Irish researchers are the ones who think creatively and who "hit the streets" as a detective would do. Stories of chance meetings leading to ancestral discoveries seem miraculous to some genealogists, but they are every-day occurrences for us Irish family historians!
Des White, a start-up professional researcher who is also a family historian with Co. Cork roots, has one such story. I am going to reprint his own words, as he tells a story much better than I can!
"County places are great; drop a few names, ask a few questions, answer loads more--and bingo, everyone knows everyone! I went to a florist to get some flowers for the family grave near Clonakilty and told the lovely shop lady what the flowers were for. She said she knew a probable relative of ours close by and would mention it to him. Took that with a pinch of salt and left the flowers plus my name and mobile on the grave on the Saturday evening . . . Amazing, on the Monday, got a call from [Cousin P]. He'd gotten the word from the florist, zoomed up to the grave & seen my note. So, we ended up meeting on the Wednesday back in Clonakilty, for a chat and to swap some family tales. . . Definitely related! Our great grandparents, Thomas & Julia, are the link between us.
"[Cousin P] also put me right about the Barrys in our past (Julia's people). And thanks to a bar owner in Rosscarbery, I discovered one descendant owns a Bed and Breakfast (B&B) place in their original area near Rosscarbery. I took a 6 km walk out the road to have a look (and me with a possible cruciate ligament gone in one knee) in lovely sunshine, nice countryside. It's an imprssive B&B--the De Barra (Barry in Irish) Lodge."
Des's tale is a "teachable moment." It illustrates the importance that personal connections have in Irish culture and society. Our ancestors brought this strong sense of community and family with them when they emigrated to the USA. Sadly, as the generations have passed and the climb up the social and economic ladders has supplanted other values, our personal family connections have suffered. But the explosion of interest in Irish family research in the USA has had the wonderful effect of renewing family and personal ties.
Seems, from Des's story, that it might also have an effect on our knees!
Thanks, Des, for allowing me to use your story. Hopefully, it will inspire some of us couch potatoes to get out and CONNECT in person!

Sometimes, it just can't be done, even by the best of teams.
The Chicago Blackhawks' most exciting player came up clutch again in Game 6 of the Western Conference final Friday night, setting up the tying goal in the third period, then scoring the winner in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings that forces Game 7 in Chicago on Sunday.
"He's a special player. He doesn't have bad games. He has good games or great games," L.A. coach Darryl Sutter had said Friday morning.
He didn't mean to be quite so prophetic.
The defending Stanley Cup champions refused to go quietly when the Kings scored two early third-period goals to take the lead, and took advantage of the home team simply giving the Hawks' incendiary weapon too much room to skate.
Kane made a wonderful backhand pass to set up Duncan Keith for the tying goal at 11:35, and on the winner, he took a drop pass from Brandon Saad at the blueline, circled back around the perimeter and unleashed a wrist shot through a screen that beat Jonathan Quick with 3:45 left on the clock.
With the win, the Blackhawks are now 13-0 in Games 5, 6 and 7 the last two playoff seasons.
Kane, last year's Conn Smythe Trophy winner, has 19 points in those 13 games.
After fielding questions about his lack of visibility in the first four games of this series, he has figured in seven of the last nine Chicago goals.
And he has given the Blackhawks a better-than-even chance to go back to the Stanley Cup final against the New York Rangers, which begins at the home of the Western champion on Wednesday.
"If they told us at the beginning of the season this was the way it was going to be, we'd take it every time," said Kane after the game.
"I was on the ice for two of the (L.A.) goals before that, and felt like I had to do something to get 'em back. For some reason, when the chips are down, we have a lot of guys stepping up, blocking shots, (Corey) Crawford coming up with big saves again.
"They're still a great defensive team, but I got some linemates right now that are opening up space for me, so I'm trying to get some pucks (to the net) and they're going in."
The Kings of California looked all set to expand their realm when they scored twice in less than two minutes early in the third period, Drew Doughty tying it on a beautiful solo effort inside the blueline, then setting up Alec Martinez for the go-ahead goal.
But then Kane took over.
"It's not like the first time you've seen it with him," said Hawks coach Joel Quenneville. "I don't think there's a player in the league when he's got the puck on his stick, time of possession in the course of a game, sees plays, makes plays — and the bigger the stage, too, he likes that challenge.
"He's a special player. And like we say about our team, the bigger the challenge, the bigger the situation, we don't change. We welcome it. And he's . . . he can get it done, as good as anybody in the game."
The Kings, thanks to Quick, survived a nervous start — handing a couple of Grade A chances to Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp — then got the first goal at 17:03 after Hawks defender Brent Seabrook froze on a dump-in behind the net and was outhustled by Jarret Stoll, who fed Dwight King in the slot.
But it had been a sloppy period, and for the Kings, it got worse quickly in the second, when Anze Kopitar was sent off for holding Jonathan Toews 20 seconds after the interval. A minute later Kane converted a give-and-go with Toews for a long-awaited road power- play goal by the Hawks, who hadn't scored one since the first round.
Disappointment turned to shock in the third minute when Ben Smith broke in on Quick, who missed a pokecheck and was facing the wrong way when Smith's pass hit his skate and caromed into the net for a 2-1 Chicago lead.
After that, though, it was barely controlled chaos, as these two Western heavyweights traded rushes, scoring chances and, at the end of the second period, punches.
Even Quick, who was piled into by Andrew Shaw at the buzzer, and Crawford — who on this night outplayed his more celebrated counterpart — looked ready to drop the mitts as they left the ice, bumping into one another and exchanging why-I-oughtas.
"I don't think anyone lost confidence or got down after those two goals they scored in the third," said Crawford, who stopped 26 of 29 L.A. shots.
Quick was beaten four times on 25 Chicago shots.
"If anything we kept pressing even harder," Crawford said. "Some great shots by Duncs and Kaner, some great plays, and we were able to shut them down at the end."
The third period was another treat for the eyes, and though it will be small consolation to Los Angeles fans, it means one more show by these two amazing hockey clubs.
"I've seen a lot of hockey games — these last two have been right up there," said Quenneville.
The fight deserves a Game 7, and we will get it.
"I don't think anything motivates you like having your back against the wall," said Toews. "Potentially walking into a game where your season might end. I think every single guy in this room thinks about that, lets it sink in a little bit.
"We thought about that the last few days and worked very hard to get back in this series. We have a chance to stay alive and keep playing hockey for a little while longer."
"We got to learn from it, we move on," said Doughty. "We have a one game playoff here in their building to punch a ticket to the finals and we've got to focus and learn from our mistakes tonight and go in there ready to play."
Kane powers Blackhawks to clutch Game 6 victory in Los Angeles
Sometimes, it just can't be done, even by the best of teams.

Defendant charged with shaking and seriously injuring his child
NIAGARA FALLS – An infant girl suffered five broken ribs and a head injury when she was allegedly shaken by her father late last month at a home on Ninth Street. "He assaulted his own baby," said Niagara Falls Police Capt. William M. Thomson.
Jeremy R. Hayes, 24, was arrested by detectives Tuesday for his role in the March 28 assault and arraigned in City Court on felony charges of first-degree assault and reckless assault. He was remanded to Niagara County Jail on $100,000 bail. A hearing is set for today.Thursday.
Thomson said the baby was treated at Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo and has since been discharged and is recovering.
The infant girl was removed from her home by social workers from Niagara County Child and Protective Services and has been placed in the care of another family member.

Shelton posted a goal and two assists for her second multi-assist game and third four-point game of the season. With her performance, she now has a four-game point scoring streak ongoing.
King (4-4-0, 3-3) took a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute when the Shanklin sisters connected for the team's first goal. Casey Shanklin (Knoxville, Tenn.) found older sister Devon on the left side of the Knight goal. Devon Shanklin (Knoxville, Tenn.) then squared up for a shot from an off angle and powered the ball off the St. Andrews keeper Katie Jaskulski's finger tips and watched the ball cross the goal line.
The Lady Tornado defense stifled the Knights, allowing only one shot attempt in the first half and only one shot on goal for the duration of the game. Abbey Kitts (Tazewell, Va.) converted her only save attempt on four total St. Andrews shots taken.
"Our defense was really solid," said Head Coach Simon Duffy. "They have helped us to go from being 0-3 to now being back to .500. I hope it is going serve as a bit of momentum as we head into these next three home games."
Coming out of the first half with a one-goal lead, King had many opportunities to extend their lead. The Navy and Scarlett added to their lead twice, each goal coming within a minute of one another. In the 71st minute, Kaitlin Robinson (Signal Mountain, Tenn.) hit the top-left corner of the Knight goal with a shot 15 yards out, set up by Shelton. The goal was Robinson's first of the season and of the freshman's collegiate career.
Less than a minute later, Hannah Shankle (Bristol, Va.) added the Lady Tornado's third goal of the day on a perfectly placed shot from 25 yards out. Off of a setup from Shelton, Shankle ripped the ball where no defender could reach leading to her first goal of the season.
Shelton later scored a goal of her own, unassisted, on a right-footed shot from point blank range. The goal was her team-leading seventh of the season.
"Today we showed up and just played, said Duffy. "There are wins and then there is the way we did it today. We dominated from start to finish. We are really happy how we played the entire game."

Jacob lay down on stones for pillows and slept. And in his dreams he saw a ladder reaching up into heaven with "the angels of God ascending and descending on it." It was a curious thing, to be sure, to find oneself sleeping on stones only to then discover that, as he says in the morning when he has returned to his natural senses, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not." Upon further reflection, this causes him to feel overwhelmed by what had once seemed so ordinary. "How dreadful is this place!" he says, "This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!" And so he anoints the stone and calls it Bethel—House of the Lord. In the Hebrew, Ma nora HaMakom hazeh!, this can also mean "How awesome is this place!" Wonder and awe, maybe even a tinge of dread, all among the stones of the earth. And so he anoints his stony pillow with oil. This is the place.
My favorite stones are the river rocks that cradle the high mountain streams of the Wasatch and Uinta Mountain ranges. They are round like pillows, some tan, some pink, and some red or brown. They have been polished by who knows how many millions of hours of water impatient to reach some distant conclusion. Once while watching the sun shine down upon these stones as I stood in the middle of the Provo River, only moments after they had been sprinkled by a brief and gentle rain, they looked like small loaves of bread. I felt the river bank had been transformed into some kind of repository of seer stones, each one daring me to believe that they were just mute rock. There was no doubt that I felt startled by a presence, a kind of grace or holiness, but I want to be clear: this was no out of body experience. I was shivering, standing in the middle of a cold stream on a brittle October day, fully aware of my body and the body of the earth, but suddenly it was as if all of my physical experience were none other than the sum total of what heaven might be. How awesome is this place, I might have said. The native inhabitants of my valley had indeed called the canyon where I live, House of the Gods, so the impulse to make this earth a temple goes far back into time. It is an ancient but forgotten impulse. I don't mean the impulse to build temples. That certainly is alive and well among the Mormons and certainly not a dead art in many other parts of the world. I mean the impulse to see ourselves already in one. To seize upon the ordinary qualities of physical places and see them as sites of traffic between this world and the next. Why else are Jacob's angels ascending and descending? People are dying and leaving but it seems they are also returning.
A man well acquainted with grief was Joseph F. Smith; he was the nephew of the Mormon prophet whom assassins killed along with the boy's father Hyrum. He then lost his mother at age 13. Several of his children died young, and he presided over the LDS church during World War I and the influenza outbreak. He also gave temples the most profound purpose of connecting the living and the dead. He had this to say about the familiar dead:
"I believe we move and have our being in the presence of heavenly messengers and of heavenly beings. We are not separate from them. … We are closely related to our kindred, to our ancestors … who have preceded us into the spirit world. We can not forget them; we do not cease to love them; we always hold them in our hearts, in memory, and thus we are associated and united to them by ties that we can not break…. We live in their presence, they see us, they are solicitous for our welfare, they love us now more than ever. For now they see the dangers that beset us; … their love for us and their desire for our well being must be greater than that which we feel for ourselves."
If a place is made holy to us because of the experiences we have lived in it and the memories and ancestral connections it contains, is it enough to say that holiness is a human and physical notion, that we love a place because of the dead we have lost? I think holiness is a dual, Janus-faced concept. We make things holy in our very human and physical condition but we also do so because we catch glimpses of something beyond the physical, because the longer we encounter and wonder at the particularities of place, the less they feel like the delineations of what limits us and the more they feel like portals, sites of ascension and condescension, between what we are and what we will become. A place ends up being about so much more than what our human story has become but instead a way of connecting us to the whole of human experience and maybe even the whole of time before we ever emerged on this rock.
The great lesson of Jacob, then, is to walk gently where we are. Because if one stone is worthy of anointing, the world itself is our bed of dreams, the context that shapes the value of all our affections. And to its life-cradling powers we owe our best and most tender care. Some people have overdeveloped fears that if we start caring about the environment, we will have misplaced our affections for God onto the earth, but Joseph F. Smith once articulated a concept as old as, well, Genesis, or at least as St. Francis of Assisi, that our duty, as he put it, is "to love God in His creations."

Dit Sims lives in tiny Moundville, Alabama in 1917. He's got nine brothers and sisters and his Dad routinely forgets his name. It's summer, it's hot and Dit's best friend is away for the summer. When he finds out that a new postmaster is coming to town, Dit hopes the new postmaster, Mr. Walker, has a son close to his age that will want to go fishing and play baseball.
The postmaster comes, and Dit is disappointed to learn that he doesn't bring a son, he brings prissy, brainiac Emma who always has her nose in a book and doesn't know one thing about baseball. Dit's town is disappointed to learn that the Walkers are African-American.
Dit's family welcomes the Walkers and the two families slowly build a relationaship sharing chores and helping out when family members are sick. Dit and Emma start building a friendship too. Dit teaches Emma how to throw and hit a baseball. Emma helps Dit with math and introduces him to exciting adventure books like Treasure Island. Slowly, over the summer, the two kids become best friends.
Some people in Dit's town don't welcome the Walkers, especially the town sheriff. Some people object to Dit and Emma's friendship, even object to the Walkers living in Moundville at all. When the two kids witness a racially motivated shooting and realize their friend, the town's black barber, is unjustly blamed and sentenced to hang, they secretly come up with a daring plan to save him.
This story brings the injustice and horrors of racial bigotry to life. It's a story about friendship between people and how that friendship is stronger than the forces around it that try to tear it apart. Two thumbs up historical fiction. Author: Kristin Levine

Children grow fast during the first five years. They need balanced diets to help them grow. Parents play a big role in shaping children's eating habits. It is the parent or care givers responsibility to offer nutritious foods at meals and snack time.
Use the USDA's ChooseMyplate.gov website to plan a healthy menu. You can get a customized plan for yourself or your child.
Your child should eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks for a balanced diet. Children have lots of energy and need nutritious snacks to keep them going and growing. Breakfast is a "smart start" for your child every day.
Breakfast can even boost their brain power to succeed in school. Studies show that children who eat breakfast have better concentration, work faster, make fewer mistakes, are more creative, and even score higher on tests.
Children usually know how much food they need, but are not always good at choosing balanced meals. Children slowly learn to feed themselves and eat new foods, but you must take time to teach them. Here are some tips for introducing new foods:
All young children gag and choke a little. That is one of the many reasons you need to stay with your child during mealtime.
Choking often happens when children lie down with food in their mouths or run while they are eating, Be sure your child sits down to eat.
Avoid hard foods like nuts, hard candy, tough meats, uncut raw carrots, raisins or popcorn. Cut round food like grapes the long way first, and then cut them into pieces. All food pieces should be smaller than a dime.

Hard-line Islamists in northern Mali stoned a reportedly unmarried couple to death for adultery last Sunday. Analysts worry this is growing evidence of the rebel fighters' avowed intention to impose strict Islamic law in the vast territory under their control.
Another version of the story put about by an al-Qaida-linked militant group is that the couple was married but engaging in extramarital affairs.
The Shariah killings in the remote desert town of Aguelhok have drawn outrage and condemnation. The human rights group Amnesty International called them "gruesome and horrific."
The desecration of the tombs of Sufi Muslim saints by Islamist fighters in the fabled city of Timbuktu has also been condemned. The destruction has come to symbolize the twin crises in Mali. In a matter of weeks, this once apparently stable Sahara Desert nation imploded with a rebellion in the north, followed by a coup in the south.
A Rebellion Rises
Nomadic Tuareg secessionists launched the rebellion in January, demanding independence for what they call their Azawad homeland in the north.
Allies from other groups, including the regional al-Qaida franchise — known by its initials AQIM (al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb) — fought alongside the Tuaregs.
They captured the three strategic towns in the north: Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu. The crisis was compounded by a military coup March 22 in Mali's capital, Bamako, by soldiers who accused the ousted president of not fighting the rebellion.
While Mali's politicians and soldiers dithered and bickered in Bamako, the rebels rapidly consolidated their control over a vast and poorly policed zone the size of Texas, in mainly desert northern Mali.
Within weeks the shaky alliance between the turbaned Tuareg fighters and the Islamists collapsed, and Wahabbi jihadists, such as Ansar Dine and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, or MUJAO, took over.
Destroyed Holy Sites
The Islamists have sidelined the Tuaregs and hijacked the insurgency, and Timbuktu is now ruled by hard-liners.
Timbuktu, the location of several UNESCO-designated World Heritage Sites, is known as the City of 333 Saints. It's home to three majestic medieval mosques. It was also an ancient seat of learning and a center of Islamic studies in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The destruction, with pickaxes and other weapons, of the saints' mausoleums, revered by Sufi Muslims and many other Malians, has shocked and enraged many people.
Mali is a Muslim-majority country and practices various tolerant branches of Islam. Malians are appalled by what they say are crimes being committed in the name of their religion by jihadist fighters, who have strengthened their hold on the north since the January rebellion.
Inevitably, comparisons are being made with Afghanistan, with some dubbing Mali "Africanistan." Frequent references are made to the destruction of the giant Buddhist Bamiyan statues by the Taliban in 2001.
Fatou Bensouda, the new prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, warns that the ICC is watching Mali. She says deliberate attacks against undefended civilian buildings, which are not military objectives, are war crimes.
"This includes attacks against historical monuments, as well as destruction of buildings dedicated to religion," Bensouda says.
She has put on notice those involved in what she calls "criminal acts," saying they must "stop the destruction of these buildings now" and that her office has the authority fully to investigate.
Timbuktu's mayor, Halle Ousmane Cisse, told NPR the problems extend beyond the destruction of the tombs.
Cisse says about half the population of Timbuktu has fled the city, which is short of everything — money, food, electricity, fuel and freedom — and needs help.
"We have nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing," says the mayor, thanking those who are helping.
Helping The Displaced
Among the many who have left Timbuktu is 20-year-old Monique Kone.
At a Christian training center on the outskirts of Bamako, Kone puts displaced children through their paces in an impromptu, but energetic, game of soccer.
In areas in the north, the Islamists are meting out punishment to women they deem to be improperly dressed. They have banned public smoking, card games and children watching television and playing soccer.
More than a dozen Christian families from northern Mali have found sanctuary in a dusty compound, where women are sharing out donations of rice and other essential goods.
Tens of thousands of Muslims have also fled the besieged northern towns, across Mali's borders into refugee camps in neighboring countries. Many are still heading to the capital.
Standing on the makeshift, dirt field that serves as a soccer pitch, Kone says that just three months ago she was cowering in fear in Timbuktu, as gunfire flew back and forth when the rebels shot their way into town.
"I was so scared I was shaking," Kone says. "I was trembling with fear."
Kone's face contorts in pain as the memories flood back and her voice becomes quieter. She says she would like to head back home to the north but is too frightened.
A Leader's Plea
Mali's caretaker president, Dioncounda Traore, has just returned to Bamako after a prolonged medical absence in France. He was assaulted in May by mobs in his office.
Traore made a televised address to the nation on Sunday and promised personally to take charge of the dangerous situation in the north.
Regional leaders and the U.S. fear it has become a safe haven for what they call Islamist terrorism. Traore says it is time to "drive out the invaders."
"Together, we will liberate our country from those who're sowing destruction, desolation and pain," Traore says.
Traore also asked Malians to forgive one another and pledged to end "religious intolerance and terrorism in the north, as well as drug trafficking and insecurity."
The al Qaida-affiliated Islamists are reported to be well-funded and indulge in kidnapping, mainly of white foreigners, for mighty ransoms to boost their war chests.
Traore, however, has announced planned negotiations with the armed groups in the north.
Adam Thiam, a Malian political analyst and columnist, warns that is easier said than done.
"Dialogue with whom?" he asks.
Thiam says it will be "extremely difficult to tackle the northern issue militarily, because ... [Tuareg rebels], al-Qaida and MUJAO [an offshoot of al-Qaida] are living among the population in the three main cities in the north. So it is tricky."
Malians just want peace. Many are urging the interim government to drive the rebels out of the north and restore peace and order, saying they will not allow Mali to be divided.
The destruction of ancient UN World Heritage sites in Timbuktu has brought a lot of attention to Mali. In a matter of weeks, this once apparently stable nation in the Sahara desert imploded, with a rebellion in the north and then a coup in the south, which in turn led to the rise there of radical Islamists linked to al-Qaida. From the capital, Bamako, NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton has the story.
OFEIBEA QUIST-ARCTON, BYLINE: Nomadic Tuareg separatists launched their bid for independence in northern Mali in January, helped by radical Islamist allies, including fighters from the regional al-Qaida franchise. They captured the three strategic towns in the north - Gao, Kidal and fabled Timbuktu. The crisis was compounded by a military coup in the south on March 22nd, by soldiers who accuse the ousted president of not fighting the rebellion.
While Mali's politicians and soldiers bickered in Bamako, the rebels rapidly consolidated their control over the vast desert north. Within weeks, the shaky alliance between the turbaned Tuareg fighters and the Islamists collapsed, and hard-line Wahabbi jihadists such as Ansar Dine took over - and they're vowing to impose strict Islamic law throughout Mali. On Sunday, the rebels said they'd publicly stoned to death a couple accused of adultery.
Circulating on YouTube are images of the Islamist fighters using pickaxes to destroy religious icons they consider idolatrous, including shrines of Sufi Muslim saints in Timbuktu, dubbed the City of 333 Saints.
FATOU BENSOUDA: Stop the destruction now.
QUIST-ARCTON: A warning from the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda.
BENSOUDA: Deliberate attacks against undefended civilian buildings, as well as buildings dedicated to religion, which are not military objectives, is a war crime.
QUIST-ARCTON: The city's mayor, Halle Ousmane Cisse, says the problems extend way beyond the destruction of the mausoleums.
HALLE OUSMANE CISSE: (Speaking foreign language)
QUIST-ARCTON: Cisse says, under the control of the radicals, about half the population has fled the city, and that Timbuktu is short of everything - food, electricity, fuel and freedom - and they need help.
QUIST-ARCTON: On the outskirts of Bamako, children are playing an energetic game of soccer on a makeshift dirt field. More than a dozen Christian families from Northern Mali have found sanctuary here. Tens of thousands of Muslims have also left the besieged northern towns. Twenty-year-old Monique Kone is putting the younger children through their paces.
MONIQUE KONE: (Speaking foreign language)
QUIST-ARCTON: Only a few weeks ago, says Kone, she was cowering in fear in Timbuktu as gunfire flew back and forth when the rebels shot their way into town. She'd like to go back home to the north, but she's too frightened. Fresh back from a prolonged medical absence in France, Mali's caretaker president, Dioncounda Traore, addressed the nation Sunday, saying he's personally taking charge of the parlous situation in the north, which regional leaders and the U.S. fear has become a haven for what they're calling Islamist terrorism.
DIONCOUNDA TRAORE: (Speaking foreign language)
QUIST-ARCTON: Traore says it's time to drive out the invaders, as he puts it, though he's planning negotiations. Easier said than done, warns Malian political analyst Adam Thiam.
ADAM THIAM: It would be extremely difficult to tackle the northern issue militarily, because today Ansar Dine and al-Qaida are living among the population in the north. So it is tricky.
QUIST-ARCTON: Views reflected by many Malians as they pray for peace and order to be restored. Ofeibea Quist-Arcton, NPR News, Bamako. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

#Roommates, we are sad to report that Nigerian singer Alizee Nielsen and her 4-year-old daughter were tragically killed.
According to The Guardian , their bodies were found in their Banana Island home in Lagos yesterday, and Alizee's husband (a Danish citizen living in Nigeria) was arrested and accused of taking both of their lives.
Lagos State Police confirmed that he is now in police custody and an investigation has begun. "The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has ordered the arrest of the suspect and he is in police custody. It is pre-emptive now to ascertain the cause of the incident," public relations officer, SP Chike Oti, said in a statement. "The CP has dispatched crime scene investigators to the place to pick evidences for analysis which can be used for prosecution. The command has also written the Embassy of the suspect that the police are investigating the case."
Alizee was just 29 years old.
Her management, Petra Entertainment, released the following statement in response to the sad news:
"While we exercise restraint in making public comments on the circumstances surrounding the demise of Alizee and her daughter, – in order not to prejudices on-going police investigations – it has become important to correct some misinformation presently circulating in the media space. In this regard, we state that the husband of the late Nielsen Zainab Joy who is also the father of the late Nielsen Petra is Nielsen Peter Schau. Nielsen Peter Schau is a Danish citizen and not an Italian or Asian as has been reported by several media outlets."
"We call all law enforcement agencies to speedily unravel the circumstances surrounding the demise of these vibrant Nigerians and bring all complicit persons and/or entities to justice. In the light of reports suggesting that Alizee's husband may be under Police investigation in connection with these painful deaths, We particularly call on the Nigerian immigration Services to remain vigilant at this time and urge the cooperation of all foreign missions in the country. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the relatives of the late Zainab and Petra."

| October 4, 2016
Answered by Fr. Edward McIlmail, LC
A: It is good to hear of your devotion to Our Lady. You can depend on her for guidance and intercession.
Mortification has long been an accepted tool in the battle for Christian perfection. St. Thomas Aquinas said that people in religious life, for example, could become holy only if there was detachment from the things of this world (see his answer in the Summa Theologiae, II.2, Question 186. Article 3 ).
We need not, however, imitate the extreme forms of mortification practiced by some saints. That might actually be counterproductive, because our tendency is to "make up" for those bouts of strict mortification we put ourselves through. Today we get by on bread and water, tomorrow we binge on Big Macs and ice cream.
The best mortification is usually moderate. This means, in addition to forgoing meat or some other favorite food on Fridays, that we learn to take smaller desserts or use less seasoning on food. We could take slightly cooler showers, or jump out of bed at the first sound of the alarm in the morning.
These little acts of mortification will go a long way to help us discipline ourselves, and they can also be offered in reparation for our sins and for the sins of the world. The key thing is that we mortify for a spiritual motive.
The Catechism in No. 2015 says: "The way of perfection passes by way of the Cross. There is no holiness without renunciation and spiritual battle. Spiritual progress entails the ascesis and mortification that gradually lead to living in the peace and joy of the Beatitudes: He who climbs never stops going from beginning to beginning, through beginnings that have no end. He never stops desiring what he already knows."
Don't be afraid of mortification, then. But don't overdo it, either. If you have doubts about a particular practice, check with a reliable confessor or spiritual director.

Helen Zhao responds to the claim that it is unacceptable to retain personal wealth.
According to journalist A.Q. Smith, you're probably living an immoral life.
In his recent article
Current Affairs
, Smith outright
air jordan nike air customize
the obscenely rich for their wealth, but the article is not only an attack against the millionaires and billionaires of the world—in arguing that keeping any amount of wealth is immoral, it is an assault against the lifestyle enjoyed by the majority of Western society.
Smith's logic can be boiled down to the following excerpt: "Because every dollar you have is a dollar you're not giving to somebody else, the decision to retain wealth is a decision to deprive others."
What follows is a condemnation of the wealthy's most outrageous spending habits. There is nothing scandalous about critiquing the rich; there are few among us who would find nothing incongruous about seeing in succession on one's Facebook feed an article on the world's most expensive pair of earrings ($57 million) and a video on the famine in Yemen.
This line of reasoning is not new. It has perhaps been examined most thoroughly by utilitarian philosopher Peter Singer, who offers the following thought experiment: suppose a child is drowning in a pool, and you are walking by on your way to class. Are you not morally obliged to step in and save the child? Most people agree that a moral obligation exists, and inaction is thus morally wrong. Singer then points to the "drowning children" of the world
for example, the thousands across the world who die each day from malaria. The charity Nothing But Nets notes on their
nike free 30 v4 damen laufschuhe rot graumans chinese
that sending a bednet costs just ten dollars. Is donating a small sum to save a child from malaria not equivalent to pulling a drowning child out of a pool? If it is, then it follows that a refusal to donate said ten dollars is as morally reprehensible as walking past a drowning child without offering to help.
The natural conclusion to both Smith and Singer's arguments is that all of us who live lives of comfort and frivolity are living immorally. Both protest this. Smith attempts to defend the assertion that moral duty becomes greater the more wealth you have, claiming the existence of some "maximum moral income" above which it is morally wrong to keep any money one may earn. First, there is the obvious fact that any such "maximum moral income" would be impossible in practice to determine. Should it be based upon what a person needs to survive? To flourish? To self-actualize? All of these are nebulous concepts with no universal dollar amounts attached. Second, this runs contrary to his most important line of reasoning: that it is wrong to use money for any purpose other than helping those who need it more. To illustrate this point, let us consider an amendment to Singer's analogy.
