Gov. Togiola Tulafono says the government is looking into current laws which place full blame on males having sex with girls under 18-years of age, while not looking at the underage females who willingly agree to such acts.
The governor's comment on his radio program two weekends ago came up after a female caller complained about students having to arrive early at school while it's not yet daylight, because some school buses pick them up so early.
The caller said she suspects that this is another reason there are problems with teen age girls, and then the government ends up blaming the parents.
Togiola thanked the caller for raising this important issue, which he says the government takes very seriously. He then pointed to the current law, which lays full blame on the male or boy who has sex with the underage girl, but the girl is not punished for her free choice of having underage sex.
The governor made it clear that it's not his intention to blame underage girls, saying that all those who are under 18 years of age should get equal protection under the law.
An advocate for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, Mrs. Ipu A. Lefiti was asked by Samoa News for her reaction and comments to the governor's statement on his radio program.
"Statutory rape, is statutory rape. It is the law and must be NON-NEGOTIABLE," Lefiti responded Friday night. "The burden of responsibility falls on the adult to leave, walk away or not even entertain the idea."
"What seems to be the avenue of escape is to blame it on the underage person as being consensual. Because they are young and immature, they are easy to seduce and made fools of," she said. "No-one has the right to rape a prostitute, or a promiscuous person of any age."
Lefiti went on to say "Just look at the statutory rapists trafficked into the court rooms. Who are they? Educators, men of the cloth, fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, mothers' lovers, aunties. All of them 'God fearing people' who hold roles of responsibility and community trust," she said.
"If this is the kind of world that is waiting for our children before the age of 18, we as a community need to do everything within our power to safeguard them. If we do not, WE have failed the current generation and cursed the next.".
"Children were not born promiscuous - they learned the behavior from adults." she added.
"As for us mothers who keep blaming the underage girls for corrupting our underage boys, our sons have just as much responsibility, family values and knowledge to walk away from temptation and vice-versa."
"The flip side to this is...I've seen and heard enough wives and mothers speak out against,and blame their daughters and nieces, for seducing their men. I wonder who will they blame for their husbands preferring boys and men?"
"When it comes to females it always seems to be the females fault, no matter what the age. So who is insane here?"
"Instead of us dancing to the perpetrators tune, allow them to pay the penalty for their own decisions," she added.
On his radio program, the governor said he truly believes that a young lady, or underage girl, who was raised properly by the parents, who understands the value of our Christian and Samoan culture, and was counseled accordingly, would withstand any pressure to pre martial sex.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama, in a position of strength, is looking to avoid mistakes in his first debate with Mitt Romney. The Republican challenger, trailing in opinion polls, needs to shake up the contest, and Wednesday night's televised encounter may offer his best hope.
Barely one month remains in the campaign, and early voting already is under way in much of the country.
Obama, as the front-running incumbent, has the most to lose from a possible gaffe or flat performance. But Romney has the greater need to make a strong impression and convince Americans they should fire Obama.
Romney's task is difficult. He most show an appealing side to voters who haven't warmed to him, while also criticizing Obama's economic record aggressively.
The former Massachusetts governor, who has sought the presidency for years, might benefit from low expectations. Polls show that most people expect Obama to outperform him at the debate forum.
Obama's communication skills are well-known. But he is best when speaking alone before large audiences. In debates in 2007 and 2008, he tended toward long, professorial answers, and sometimes showed a condescending side. Obama has not debated since then.
Romney participated in 19 Republican primary debates in 2011-12, so in one sense he is well-practiced. But those debates usually involved several candidates vying for short snippets of time. The Wednesday night event in Denver promised to be more focused.
Either Obama or moderator Jim Lehrer seemed likely to press Romney about secretly recorded comments last spring in which he said 47 percent of Americans view themselves as victims who depend on the government and refuse to take responsibility for their lives.
Romney was certain to assail the president on the nation's struggling economy and 8.1 percent unemployment rate.
The two nominees will face each other in two more debates this month. Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan will hold one debate.

The Lewiston Lions Club Lion of the Year Award was presented to Lion Mary Reedy at the June awards dinner at The Lewiston Village Pub and Restaurant. Reedy was recognized for her participation in club events, taking that extra step in helping individuals during the holidays and bringing not only new ideas to the club, but a great amount of enthusiasm. She was also instrumental in helping in the monumental task of completing and adopting the club's constitution.
Lion's Club President Millie Gibbs passed the gavel to newly elected president Lion Ron Craft. Gibbs was recognized for stepping up to the plate when the club needed a secretary, and for her willingness to take on the office of the presidency.
Gibbs was credited for overseeing the adoption of the club's constitution and helping to create a scholarship to be presented to a deserving local high school student.
President-elect Craft credited Lewiston for having an abundance of volunteer groups and fundraisers for those in need, and individuals promoting the town and village. He also noted the above presents a challenge for a newly formed club to raise funds and gain new members, but said he and the club are up to the task.

The 'mob' to advise PM on gov data sharing
String 'em up!
The Prime Minister is to set up focus groups to ask the British public whether the government should be allowed to keep tabs on them with a 'super database'.
The public consultation will be managed by Ipsos MORI and conclude in a public debate at Number 10 in March.
This will all be over and done just before the publication in April of a joint review by the Cabinet Office and the Department of Constitutional Affairs of the laws presently restricting the government from building a "super database" or, more specifically, restricting government departments from sharing their data as liberally as they would like.
The Data Protection Act protects people's privacy and liberty by ensuring government departments treat the information they have very guardedly, not sharing with anyone else unless under strict controls.
The line of questioning being proposed for the focus groups will make people consider how much state intrusion they would stomach if it meant they got better public services - to get them thinking about their "rights and responsibilities".
This, according to MORI, would be considered with such questions as, "What areas should automatically be a state responsibility - Defence? And where is there joint responsibility - Health?," which rang an off-key harmony with the government's pressure on smokers and the overweight because it believes they use more than their fair share of public services.
When the Cabinet Office and DCA announced their review of the legal restrictions on data sharing in September, rights and responsibilities were also a theme. The government believed that with shared data it might better finger the parents of "at-risk children".
The Information Commissioner, the UK's data protection guardian, gave an idea of how such ideas might widen the gaps between the haves and the have-nots on the publication of the report with which it warned Britain was sleep walking into a surveillance society.
Since the government started broadcasting the rabble-rousing slogan, "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear", and opposition politicians started scoring points against the Home Office over its inability to know the every movement of ex-offenders after they had served their time, it has become easier to imagine how a rights and responsibilities focus group might work.
The Home Office has, accordingly, already joined the clarion call for people to accept a new social contract in which the state pokes its nose into people's business for their own safety.
But not everyone is convinced. Shami Chakrabarti, director of campaign group Liberty, told the The Independent: "When absolute rules like the prohibition on torture are compromised by our political rulers, how much harder to defend more subtle and qualified rights like the presumption of privacy from the chilling slogan politics of 'nothing to hide, nothing to fear'."
Register readers have their own characteristic take on this delicate question of whether there is anyone alive who has nothing to hide: "Well, how much do you earn then?" and, "Do you have curtains?".
Those charged in this country with protecting our freedoms are deeply suspicious of the government's plans for a super database that knows what you might rather hide.
In September, assistant commissioner Jonathan Bamford told a hall of government and industry database statespeople that they should show restraint as they build more powerful databases.
"We are very concerned there is a proper approach to information sharing," he said. "Simply having the increased ability to share information shouldn't be the rationale for more information sharing - data protection safeguards should be seen as an objective, not a barrier."
A barrier, however, was exactly what the Prime Minister's office said the Data Protection Act was when it opened its review earlier that same month. It and the DCA wanted to relax the law so it could better aim the wagging finger of the nanny-state, to paraphrase them loosely.
Liberal Democrat Leader Menzies Campbell said: "There is no part of people's lives which is free from snooping. State intervention and control expands every day. It is time we put a halt to this."
While the Conservative's said it would be a waste of money.®

No fooling, cinema-goers, April is the first month of 2014 that is absolutely stocked to the gills with (hopefully) quality movies in every genre imaginable. I mean, we know some of these movies are going to stink, but the ratio of success to failure will likely be in our favor. And April showers bring May flowers, which to me means the good movies raining down this month are making way for Gareth Edwards' Godzilla to deflower us next month. Speaking of, a restored print of Ishirô Honda's original 1954 Godzilla is going on a brief theatrical run in select cities throughout April and May, following its celebrated premiere at South by Southwest.
April's smaller releases match up well with what the month is generally known for. For instance, Steve Coogan's big-screen take on his small screen legend, Alan Partridge: The Movie, will give you the comedy that April Fool's Day inspires. Project X's Jonathan Daniel Brown stars as a drop-out who traffics marijuana across the Canadian border in John Stockwell's Kid Cannabis, which comes out two days before marijuana's unofficial holiday, 4/20. And to cope with the stress-induced horror of Tax Day, there's CBS Films' found footage thriller Afflicted, which injects monsters and international travel into the Chronicle plot outline. And if the IRS totally screws you over and over, you have the second volume of Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac. And now: superheroes, brainy sci-fi, Parkour and Nicolas Cage.
Dom HemingwayStart the month off right with the palate-dirtying crime comedy Dom Hemingway, from The Matador and The Hunting Party director Richard Shepard, in which Jude Law's language is as blue as the triangles on the Flag of England. While there's nothing wrong with Law's dramatic skills, this is the kind of role he should play more often, as he looks so natural griming up every scene with monumental levels of confident smarm. And it's a welcome return to features for Shepard, who has been busy directing episodes of HBO's Girls.
In Dom Hemingway, Law plays a safe-cracker who spends 12 years in prison without giving up the names of his accomplices. Soon following his release, he is joined by best friend Dickie (Richard E. Grant) in paying a visit to crime boss Mr. Fontaine (Demián Bichir) in order to collect the money owed to Dom for his silence. Of course, this newfound fortune is short-lived, and Dom combats his ever-growing problems by reconnecting with his estranged daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke). While this will be getting a limited release, expect a growing fanbase once word of mouth – and a filthy mouth at that – gains traction.
Director: Richard Shepard
Stars: Jude Law, Emilia Clarke, Demian Bichir
Release Date: April 2

I'm still editing and organizing last week's Foodbuzz Blogger Festival, and I hope to find a way to share some of it with you. In the meantime, I'd like to share with you some recipes from last Fall that are worthy of an encore in my own home:
Rainbow Salad has been featured on my header for some time. I made this with roasted golden beets and . I'm fortunate to live in the Salinas Valley, where I can buy beautiful salad greens from Fresh Express. Another salad that I serve for holiday tables is:
salad with pears, gorgonzola, candied pecans and a balsamic vinaigrette is a recipe I fell in-love with at a restaurant in Pacific Grove, California. Sadly, the restaurant is gone but I was able to replicate the recipe.
Creamy Celery Root & Yukon Gold Potato Soup. It's comforting and makes a beautiful starter to any dinner party.
Pumpkin pasta with fried sage pasta dish for several years. When I first saw this recipe, I couldn't bond with the idea of pumpkin in a pasta. It changed my mind and I'm going to recreate this very soon. The pasta is made with Italian sausage, white wine, spices, red pepper flakes and is served with a savory pumpkin cream sauce. Trust me, it's a winner.
pumpkin puree. It was easier than I thought, and I was able to enjoy pumpkin year-round. (Just click on the bold and highlighted recipes names, to be see how I made this)
Pumpkin Ice Cream that turned out even better than expected. It would be delicious as an ice cream cake.
Pumpkin Brulee recipe. Trust me, it's delicious and makes for a nice alternative to pumpkin pie.
Sweet PotatoCasserole side dish/dessert for you.
here. I'm making my pie crust dough, this weekend, so I can freeze some and store some in the refrigerator. I found two recipes I hope to make, and I'll share it with you.
This is a Cranberry & Pear Fruit Crisp that offers a sweet-tart cooked fruit combination, with a brown sugar & pecan topping that makes you want to eat seconds.
Of course, the Thanksgiving Turkey is what most of us look forward to. I've made many turkeys over the years, but I pay extra for Diestel Turkeys that are fresh and always turn out juicy. I've evolved into buying range-free, hormone-free turkey that aren't injected with vegetable oil or any other kind of fats. I don't brine my turkey, either. Somehow, I think that the turkey takes on a rubbery texture and even Alton Brown's recipe didn't appeal to us. Ina Garten's Roast Turkey was easy to make and very flavorful.
King Arthur Flour's Buttered pull-apart rolls. I blew it the first time I made them, and I show you what happened. I also share how my second attempt yielded tender and buttery rolls. Store-bought rolls cannot compare with these! I show you how to make them, and you can do it!
Greek Stuffed Pork Loin that I created.
The weekend flies by so fast, that I need to get up and running. I have a house to clean, errands to run and some new recipes to make. Someday, I'll return to working a daytime shift. Until then, I'm temporarily The Weekend Blogger!
Remember, all you have to do is click on the recipe names in each paragraph, and you will be linked to the post that shows you how I made the recipe and you will also find a printable recipe at the very bottom of each post.
I need to work on my Two-Year Anniversary Giveaway. Thank you for not giving up on me. I love to cook and bake, and my food blog has led me to meeting so many of you who share the same passion as I do.

I've led FDA's efforts to address hundreds of drug shortages for more than 10 years. During that time, we've made progress. Just last year, we cut the number of new shortages by more than half. But more work needs to be done.
In an effort to enhance FDA's current approach to drug shortages and bring new ideas to reduce the number of patients who are affected, we provided Congress today with a strategic plan aimed at enhancing efforts to prevent and reduce drug shortages. FDA is actively working, as required by the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) of 2012, to address the public health threat caused by critically needed medications being unavailable for patients. And we will continue that work and build on our progress.
An important part of our work is understanding the impact on patients. I've talked with many patients and caregivers about the effects of drug shortages. It deeply saddens me to hear a mother talk about her new baby boy, born prematurely, who is struggling to survive due to the scarce supply of drugs to meet his nutritional needs. Or a husband whose wife has been battling cancer and her doctor says the hospital is running out of the medication needed to properly treat her.
I'm often asked, "Why do drug shortages persist?" and "Why are so many lifesaving drugs in shortage?" The majority of these problems stem from quality and manufacturing problems. Therefore, the answers boil down to quality manufacturing.
While "quality manufacturing" may sound like a simple concept, getting there is a complex process – and one in which FDA and outside stakeholders have important roles to play.
The strategic plan includes a number of new ideas to address shortages. Many of these strategies focus on enhancing FDA's response and communication when we become aware of quality or manufacturing issues that could lead to a shortage. Other strategies that FDA is considering include the development of new risk-based approaches to identify early warning signals for manufacturing and quality problems that could lead to production disruptions.
In addition, the strategic plan identifies some preventive measures companies can take that place a greater emphasis on manufacturing quality and stability of supply, thereby eliminating the root causes of most shortages.
Better manufacturing quality will help eliminate drug shortages over the long-term. But when a manufacturing disruption is likely to occur, early notification by manufacturers is critical. Along with the strategic plan, therefore, FDA is today issuing a proposed regulation implementing the expanded early notification requirements included in FDASIA. This regulation would require that all manufacturers of certain medically necessary prescription drugs give FDA advance notice of a permanent discontinuance or a temporary interruption of manufacturing. It would also extend this requirement to manufacturers of biologic products.
Advance notification of a potential shortage allows FDA to work closely with manufacturers on the underlying issues, and in many cases, we are able to prevent the shortage.
FDA envisions all stakeholders coming together to ensure patients have access to the safe, effective, and high-quality medications they rely on and deserve, and we believe the strategic plan we presented to Congress today will make great strides in ensuring that happens.
Capt. Valerie Jensen, R.Ph., is the Associate Director of the Drug Shortages Program in FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Gabriela Cowperthwaite was a mom who took her kids to SeaWorld when the death of a killer whale trainer at one of the marine parks sparked her latest filmmaking project.
The documentary "Blackfish" was originally conceived without a point of view as Cowperthwaite set out to answer the question of why a top trainer at SeaWorld became the victim of the killer whale with which she worked and performed.
The resulting film that opens in movie theaters on Friday, however, turned out to be a critical look at the consequences of keeping killer whales in captivity.
SeaWorld has launched its own campaign to challenge the criticism of "Blackfish," which has drawn comparisons to the 2009 Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove" about the killing of dolphins in Japan, a film embraced by animal activists.
In a statement released this week, SeaWorld accused the film of painting "a distorted picture" of its facility, calling it "inaccurate and misleading," as well as exploiting "a tragedy that remains a source of deep pain for Dawn Brancheau's family, friends and colleagues."
Brancheau was killed in 2010 by the great orca, Tilikum, at SeaWorld in Orlando. Although reports differ as to how exactly she was pulled under the water, the autopsy report revealed she died of drowning and blunt force trauma.
"Blackfish" traces the life of Tilikum, who has been performing for 30 years since he was captured in 1983 around the age of 2.
"The Hollywood Reporter" described "Blackfish" as "emotionally powerful," "harrowing" and "a damning indictment of the SeaWorld theme park franchise."
That was not what Cowperthwaite had in mind.
"I don't come from animal activism - I am a mother who took her kids to SeaWorld," said Cowperthwaite, 42. "I thought (the Brancheau) incident was a one-off. In my mind, I was going to make a larger philosophical film about human beings and our relationships with our animal counterparts."
Things took a turn when, during Cowperthwaite's two-year project, she discovered that Brancheau's death was not an isolated incident, and that Tilikum was involved in two other deaths since 1991.
By interviewing Tilikum's former trainers, along with academics and whale experts, the documentary paints a portrait of a captive orca whose behavior appears to come from the stress of the circumstances he was unwittingly placed in after his capture three decades ago.
Cowperthwaite said she exchanged emails with SeaWorld over the course of six months in an attempt to get its side of the story. She provided a list of questions she wanted to discuss, but in the end, the answer she got was "no."
"I wonder whether it was because the truth is in some ways very complicated, very dark," she said. "How could they address those incidents without being defensive or sounding negligent?"
"Or maybe because I'm not a famous filmmaker, they thought this movie will go away and fall by the wayside."
When contacted by Reuters, SeaWorld's vice president of communications, Fred Jacobs, said in a statement that SeaWorld is "much more likely to cooperate with authors or filmmakers when we feel they are approaching the topic in good faith, with a true commitment to balance, fairness, and accuracy. That did not appear to be the case with this project."
Former SeaWorld trainer Samantha Berg, 45, who worked with Tilikum when she was in her 20s and is featured in "Blackfish," told Reuters it's not about being "anti-SeaWorld" but "anti the way things have been done up to this point."
"I'm rooting for SeaWorld to change its business model, retire the whales and stop the breeding program," Berg said. "Given what we now know, there is a moral responsibility for us to do the right thing."
Cowperthwaite hopes that "Blackfish" will inspire others to take action and not be "passive consumers" like she once was.
"I hope future generations will become more agile in seeing past veneers," she said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says embattled U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice has done a great job, as some Senate Republicans question Rice's fitness for the top job at the State Department.
Clinton was questioned Wednesday about Rice, who is facing withering GOP criticism over her initial account of the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in the September attack.
Rice is seen as the top candidate to replace Clinton, who has made clear that she would step down in President Barack Obama's second term. Clinton said the decision on her successor was up to the president.
Clinton said she would discuss the attack after a review board report that she hoped would be completed "very soon."

Rail Maze for the BlackBerry PlayBook comes in two varieties - a free version (which I have been playing) and a pro version which costs $0.99. Looking at the description in App World it isn't too clear what the differences are although I would imagine that with the free version once you complete a certain amount of levels it will prompt you to purchase the full edition.
Either way it is a fantastic game. As the name suggests, you must guide a train around the tracks from start to finish. However, you will need to change the track points to avoid the train going off the tracks or it will crash. The levels clearly get harder as you progress and when other trains also appear on the tracks it can get a little challenging to say the least.
If Rail Maze looks your cup of tea go grab the free version and give it a test. I'm loving it and I suspect I will be buying the pro version pretty soon.
Game features include:
- 130+ puzzles
- Tunnels
- Bombs
- PIRATE trains
- Super long trains
- Global online scoreboards by Scoreloop
- Route multiple trains simultaneously
- Collect wagons as you go
3 game modes:
- LABYRINTH - Puzzle
- LABYRINTH PRO - Puzzle Pro
- BUILD RAILROAD - Action
Solve 100+ of challenging and unique puzzles, build railroads, bomb through obstacles, escape PIRATES on rails. Have a lot of fun with this unique puzzle game.

One of the great Catholic scholars in the modern Church, Scott Hahn turns his attention to a task that is equally important and challenging: implementing the vital call for all Catholics to participate in the New Evangelization. Many average Catholics remain uncertain what exactly the New Evangelization entails and what role they should have in bringing it to fruition in their own lives. And yet, as Hahn writes: "The New Evangelization is more for the baptized than the unbaptized. It's for those who have been inadequately catechized but all too adequately secularized, and for those who've been de-Christianized in the very process of being sacramentalized." He notes as well that the New Evangelization is also for those who have drifted away from or have grown hostile to the Faith or have never encountered the Gospel. The question, then, is how to reach all of these different groups.
"Evangelizing Catholics" is intended to assist Catholics with practical advice in advancing the New Evangelization. Hahn uses three parts: "The Call: Understanding the New Evangelization"; "The Response: Models and Methods for the New Evangelization"; and "The Message: The Content of the New Evangelization." He stresses the lessons from the four Gospel writers — the Church's first evangelists — and their approaches to sharing the Faith, and from the men and women of the early Church who were such key instruments in the conversion of the Roman pagan world. His arguments likewise assist Catholics in understanding the role of the family as the primary field of evangelization, with the Mass as the center of family life, as well as the impact of charity, almsgiving, gratitude and joy. This is a useful book with many applications, including use in parishes, small study groups and individual families.

In 1984, members of the communist Polish Secret Police kidnapped and murdered a 37-year-old priest, Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko, the chaplain of the Solidarity movement in Poland. The priest was killed for standing against the communists and proclaiming human rights and justice. His murder proved a powerful moment in the collapse of communism in the country. He was beatified in 2010. The story of Father Jerzy is told in a well-crafted documentary narrated by actor Martin Sheen, based on the book "The Priest and the Policeman," written by John Moody and Roger Boyes. The film was awarded first place at the International Catholic Film Festival in Warsaw, Poland.

There are many different catechisms available today that serve as useful and sometimes unhelpful supplements to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. "Basic Catechism, FAQs About the Catholic Faith," originally published in 1980, remains a valuable work that has undergone several updates to keep it current. This eighth edition, built around the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church — Creed, Sacraments, Morality and Prayer — continues to present the fundamentals of the Catholic faith in a useful Q & A format and reflects the changes in the liturgy brought about by the revised Roman Missal. The questions are straightforward and accessible to the average reader, both Catholic and non-Catholic. It might be a good gift for those who are intimidated by the scale of the Catechism. Especially helpful is the careful referencing to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, as well as a section of basic prayers and guidelines for Christian living.
Author: Omar F.A. Gutierrez
Publisher: Discerning Hearts, Omaha, Neb., 2013, 202 pp., $12.95 softcover; Discerninghearts.com
In "The Urging of Christ's Love: The Saints and The Social Teaching of the Catholic Church," Omar Gutierrez presents the stories of 11 people who were dedicated to embracing Christ Jesus as the model of their lives. The list of saints and blesseds is an impressive one, with both famous names and lesser known men and women. They include the renowned Mary Magdalene, Thomas More, Joseph, Thomas Becket and Maria Goretti, as well as the more obscure Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, St. Germaine Cousin and St. Jean Denaloue. Each is seen through the lens of Catholic social teaching, with each chapter incorporating prayers and quotes from the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church.
The objective here is to personalize each of the saints as role models for different aspects of the Church's rich teachings concerning Catholic social doctrine. Gutierrez does a good job in helping the reader apply these stories and teachings to daily life, and the prayers for each section are especially helpful and well-composed.
Author: Joseph White
Publisher: Our Sunday Visitor, Huntington, Ind, 2013, 112 pp., $16.95 hardcover; 800-348-2440
In full, "The Way God Teaches: Catechesis and the Divine Pedagogy" offers a study on the integral relationship between catechesis and our relationship with God. Joseph White expertly describes the way that God reveals the truth about himself and His creation, a divine pedagogy that instructs us and guides us in the task of catechesis. He shows this pedagogy to be directed toward the individual human person, incarnational, relational, structured, systematic and comprehensive, and perpetual. Valuable for any catechist or teacher.
Author: Jennifer Fulwiler
Publisher: Ignatius Press, San Francisco, Calif., 2013, 256 pp., $22.95 hardcover; 800-651-1531
Author and convert Jennifer Fulwiler has penned a provocative, unflinching and nicely written account of her conversion from atheism to Catholicism. Her account is riveting, but it is also one that might be familiar to many people who are caught up in the supposedly good life of modern-day secular materialism. As she writes, she told herself she was happy working as a programmer at a tech start-up, being married to an Ivy League graduate and living in a 21st-floor condo in Austin, Texas, where she could sip sauvignon blanc while watching sunsets. The truth was, of course, that her atheist background and secular lifestyle hid a growing darkness and unhappiness that climaxed with her standing on the balcony in torment at the question as to whether anything really mattered.
That encounter with the abyss proved the doorway for her to faith and the embrace of a religion she once hated and reviled. She describes her journey as a slow and hidden one, kept from everyone save for her husband, and her books on religion were kept in opaque bags as if they were pornography and were read behind locked doors of public bathroom stalls. As Fulwiler writes: "I'd traveled a long, rocky path to end up in this place, and it would have been so easy for me to stray off course at countless points along the way. It gave me chills to consider how often a slight difference in the way events played out would have thrown me onto an entirely different path."

I went up north (northern Minnesota, for those of you not familiar with the "up north" expression) this last weekend for an annual family event/get-together. The weather was mostly cloudy and rainy which is a major departure from the usual scorching, unbearable heat that happens that July weekend. I stayed with my cousins, aunt and uncle, and some other family friends in an old farmhouse just outside of the town of Osakis. Even if the weather wasn't perfect, I just loved getting out of the city for the weekend and away from the stress of "normal life." I've always fantasized about living in a small town or out in the country for a summer, and I still think about it. Would I really like it? I know it seems like I've been doing a ton of traveling over the last few months, which is true. But I still feel like I need some sort of vacation. I feel like I can think about things so much easier and clearer when I'm away from home. And really, I need to focus and start making some major decisions here. I'm tired of floundering around, feeling like I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to be doing, or how to do it. Although it is admittedly difficult to stay on track with things when your life is constantly being interrupted and derailed by chronic illness and everything that goes along with it (flare-ups, doctor appointments, physical therapy appointments, sickness, fatigue). But anyway — this post doesn't have much of a point, I guess, except that it was good to get away, and I would like to go back to Osakis again before the end of summer. Realizing the things that make you feel good and better is an important part of healing and managing your health, I think. I don't know why it's such a struggle sometimes.
Hope you all had a happy weekend!

In other news, it looks like CNBC's Joe Kernen felt the heat of the CrackBerry Nation on Twitter over the weekend. In case you missed it, Kernan chimed in at the end of a CNBC interview with RIM CEO Thorsten Heins. He didn't tread too tactfully however as he had this to say to Heins:
"You're at RIM and you're in Waterloo and you don't even care. Because even though you're in Waterloo, that doesn't even occur to you that this isn't going to work ... with the BlackBerry 10".
Well, not to be embarassed by a CNBC host, Kevin took to ther Twitter airwaves to rally the troops to let Mr. Kernen know that he was pretty disrespectful to Thorsten during the interview. Apparently Kernen wasn't too keen on the overwhelming response of the CrackBerry nation on Twitter.
Kernen has this to say on air:
"I'm going back to an iPhone now because the CrackBerry people were so rude and nasty".
Rude and nasty? I'm pretty sure that saying an unreleased product will fail is pretty rude as well. Just to be clear - we have no issue with Joe Kernen or his BlackBerry use, just the fact that he was extemely rude and tactless when closing out the interview with Thorsten Heins. We're not sure where it all came from, but we'll certainly be smiling when RIM and Thorsten Heins prove him wrong with BlackBerry 10.
Shoutout to Nikedas for the video!

An alias can be used in a query select list to give a column a
different name. You can use the alias in
ORDER BY, or
HAVING clauses to refer to the column:
SELECT SQRT(a*b) AS root FROM tbl_name
GROUP BY root HAVING root > 0;
SELECT id, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM tbl_name
GROUP BY id HAVING cnt > 0;
SELECT id AS 'Customer identity' FROM tbl_name;
Standard SQL disallows references to column aliases in a
WHERE clause. This restriction is imposed
because when the
WHERE clause is evaluated,
the column value may not yet have been determined. For
example, the following query is illegal:
SELECT id, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM tbl_name
WHERE cnt > 0 GROUP BY id;
WHERE clause determines which rows
should be included in the
GROUP BY clause,
but it refers to the alias of a column value that is not known
until after the rows have been selected, and grouped by the
In the select list of a query, a quoted column alias can be specified using identifier or string quoting characters:
SELECT 1 AS `one`, 2 AS 'two';
Elsewhere in the statement, quoted references to the alias
must use identifier quoting or the reference is treated as a
string literal. For example, this statement groups by the
values in column
id, referenced using the
SELECT id AS 'a', COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM tbl_name
GROUP BY `a`;
But this statement groups by the literal string
'a' and will not work as expected:
SELECT id AS 'a', COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM tbl_name
GROUP BY 'a';
SELECT group, SUM(x) AS a, SUM(y) AS b, SUM(x)+SUM(y) AS 'a+b'
FROM tbl_name GROUP BY group ORDER BY `a+b`;
The column 'a+b' is only necessary because one cannot order by a + b. Backslashes may be needed if the statement is submitted from a shell. Easier names, like sum_of_a_and_b, are much less immediate to a human reader.

GEORGIA -- The very first time I ever tried to use this site my payment wouldn't go through when I paid even though I know my Visa is good and I know I'm not overdrawn. Then almost immediately after I entered my credit card information on iOffer I was contacted by fraud prevention at Wells Fargo Bank because someone was attempting to charge TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS on that very same Visa card.
This is the only place I entered the info (right under their little Security Metrics-Certified safe payment logo...which is probably also fraudulent). DO NOT enter any financial information on this site... IT IS NOT SECURE at all. I've just had to cancel my credit card and have a new one issued.
CALIFORNIA -- IOffer is a scam run by street gangs delinquents that take no responsibility for the quality or honesty of their sellers. I purchase a pair of boots from their site at the cost of $218. After a few days of not getting any information from the seller I contacted Paypal for a refund. I was told that as long as I have a tracking number they wouldn't give a refund. After 3 weeks I receive a box with a pair of USED old boots "not before I have to sign for the delivery". I contacted iOffer but they never had giving me an answer as to why they let these delinquents post on their site!
IOffer is as guilty as the delinquent that run freely under their control on their site, posting as legitimate business when in fact are a bunch of the thief protected by iOffer. In retaliation of my complaints iOffer had deleted all my notes/complaints from their site, and had put my account under review because of the complaint. On the last note from iOffer they informed me the seller has been suspended from iOffer for "violating iOffer's policies" but that I should contact the seller for a refund (pathetic)!!!
I wouldn't recommend this site anybody, you are much better protected at E-bay. There If you purchase an item and you pay with Paypal then an the item is not as describe Paypal will refund your money, but they do not cover you if you purchase an item in any other site. My recommendation is never to use iOffer, they are a bunch delinquents that protect other delinquents.
RIVER ROUGE, MICHIGAN -- I would not recommend iOffer to anyone. I ordered a rare movie, "Bird of Paradise", put in the credit card information, clicked all the way to the end. I get an email that say, "Thank you for your order it will be shipped in 5 to 8 days." Then I get emails to confirm payment. I email the seller and asked what's up with that, I already put all my credit card information in. This back and forth went on for three emails and then I got a rather rude email from the seller, Lisa/filmclassics4u2, telling me they don't know what I am talking about after I explained it three times and in caps, "DO NOT REPORT THIS AS A PROBLEM just send the message here at iOffer.
When you report a problem sellers items are dumped in searches. I won't have any sales for that day. So I click on the link to respond to her and it does nothing, it goes nowhere. As far as I am concerned, she was rude and no help whatsoever. I believe you have to use PayPal but when I went to buy the item, it said nothing about PayPal and took all my credit card information. Yet, the seller, sending me numerous emails just didn't have a clue what was going on, didn't understand what I was saying and was obviously too uninformed to guide me in the right direction.
So if you want your credit card information out there and one big run around, go ahead and use this site. I order a different movie the same day from Amazon.com and received it 5 days later no muss no fuss. iOffer is a fly by night site with sellers that don't have a brain in their heads.
CALIFORNIA -- IOffer has had a lot of customer complaints. However, I have bought two things from there, no problems. A lot of sellers are from China (which I was uninformed on this when purchasing a "Gucci" purse from there.) and other countries outside the U.S. Of course, a lot of their things listed are FAKES, and being resold on eBay, because people are unaware of the fact that they are buying fakes. But one way to tell you have a fake, ask for the serial number. If you type that serial number in google, and it lists a bunch of DIFFERENT purses, then you know it's a replica. No two purses (or whatever has a serial number) should be the same.
Another red flag of a replica is when you google the serial number, and REPLICA WEBSITES showing the same serial number with different purses show up. (: Hehe just remember the saying, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." Remember, that if someone bought a $1,000 Chanel purse, why would they sell it for only $100? You just have to watch your back on iOffer. ALWAYS check the feedback. To make sure I'm safe, I even read negative feedback. If there is any feedback from someone who hasn't received their item, I wouldn't buy.
There are a lot of scammers, but there are also a lot of honest sellers. You just have to be careful. Always ask questions before you buy. Do your research on the buyer. and always know the product you're buying (to ensure you don't get a FAKE.).
I just read a review from **, and I absolutely agree. I am a member of eBay and I was surfing around for other sites to buy and sell on, when I ran across iOffer. What a mistake that was. I bought some items from a certain individual only to find after posting them on eBay that they were illegal. Well eBay pulled them and I was livid. I value my good name on eBay. Well I wrote several letters to customer service in iOffer to no avail.
UNBELIEVABLE, customer service didn't respond and neither did the person that I bought from. I still have 20.00 on account there just in case I was going to sell something but after that, I asked for the money back to no avail. I can't even terminate my account!!!
Well 1 month later I went into iOffer and wrote all kinds of bad feedback on the person that sold me 470.00 worth of illegal items and said "you have your items back, I want my money back" to no avail. Finally they left me bad feedback and called me LOCO for saying that items were illegal. I in turn got to leave the whole story for all to see and they refunded total amount. I got very lucky now all I have to do is find a way to get out of the illegal hell whole.
Thanks for reading this long letter but I felt that good people need to know to stay away.
On February 17, 2007 I saw an ad on iOffer. I saw Cartier glasses being offered at a good price. I have contacted the seller via internet and he told me to send him $100.00 via Western Union and he will send me the glasses. Money was wired to him the next day and as of today I still do not have the product I have paid for. I have contacted iOffer several times but have not heard back from them yet. I am sure I am not the only one who has been scammed out of their money, this advertisement is nationwide. Do not have anything to do with **.
IOffer is a safe haven for criminals. They allow individuals to sign up for multiple accounts, then buy from themselves to seem credible. People that can't make a profit from fraud on eBay jump to iOffer because it protects them iOffer administration is hands-off. They feel that their TOS puts the transactions in the hands of the users--which it does, but really, can't they do some sort of IP tracking? Make sure an IP address doesn't purchase from itself or sign up for several accounts?
PALOMINAS -- I have tried, without success, to determine whether or not "iOffer" is attempting to sell bootleg, i.e., illegal DVD copies of films. DO NOT DEAL WITH ANY COMPANY WHICH SAME REFUSES TO RESPOND TO A LEGITIMATE INQUIRY. Any purchaser of such copy could be prosecuted by the Feds!

Jenny and Cristina's Fresh White & Green Rental Kitchen
Oh my. This kitchen is just what we needed to see today, on a gray day with almost no sun. This kitchen is full of sun, with its pops of unexpected color and all that rich, fresh green. This is a spring kitchen, no matter what time of year it is.
Jenny and Cristina's kitchen is in a rental apartment that is over 100 years old. Their landlord is fairly hands-off so they've had the space to paint and do some work to the apartment. But it's still a little crumbly around the edges, with scary wiring and ancient linoleum in the kitchen. (We've all been in kitchens like this, right!)
But Jenny and Cristina have made such a warm, personal home in this apartment, and we simply love their kitchen. We love the way they've worked with their red tiling (that red door!) and brought in those unexpectedly springlike accent colors. The yellow and green are so inspiring — is spring here yet?

Daily Links, July 3: Fortnight winds down, nuns park their ride, and a miraculous health care solution
Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, which also marks the end of the bishops' Fortnight for Freedom campaign. Rallies are continuing around the country, including a big event at the Kansas statehouse. Critics of the campaign, however, are still wondering if the whole thing was really necessary, or even appropriate.
The other big campaign that's been taking place is the Nuns on the Bus roadtrip to call attention to the needs of the poor and vulnerable, which wrapped up yesterday in Washington, D.C. The nuns got plenty of press, including this recap of their trip in The Atlantic. For a different view of religious life, take a look at this story about the life of a nun in India.
Pope Benedict XVI announced yesterday the appointment of German Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller to head the CDF, replacing the retiring Cardinal William Levada, but not everyone is happy with the pope's choice. The Vatican also announced the appointment of Msgr. Marc Jeffrey Monforton, a Michigan priest, to head the Diocese of Steubenville, Ohio.
There's an argument in North Carolina over a law that could limit the ability of death row inmates to challenge their sentences on the grounds of racial bias. Meanwhile in South Carolina, a woman received a sentence that included reading the Book of Job and writing a report on it.
Finally, India may have found a solution to both our health care crisis and our shrinking Catholic population. The Vatican Insider reports on strange, unexplained healings taking place through prayer. That's good news for the church, which has seen a 40 percent increase in Catholics in the last 35 years.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. --Game MVP Ryan Schatz scored the winning goal with just 1:44 remaining as Ransom Everglades (Coconut Grove) defeated Gulliver Prep (Coral Gables) 8-7 in the first game of the inaugural Orange Bowl Lacrosse Classic Saturday at Sun Life Stadium.
The game was tied 3-3 at the half with Ransom's Jeremy Peters scoring just 3.3 seconds before intermission. It was a tense battle throughout with several lead changes and no one holding more than a 2-goal lead, which Gulliver grabbed by a 6-4 count early in the fourth quarter. Ransom tied the game with 5:35 remaining on a goal by Ben Meland, and from that point the game see-sawed back and forth. Gulliver regained the lead on a goal by Andrew Koffsky with 3:18 remaining.
Ransom tied it less than a minute later, on a goal by Jay Fuster and then Schatz won it with his second goal of the game.
Jupiterdefeated the Pine Crest School (Fort Lauderdale) 11-8 in the middle game of the classic. Jupiter trailed 4-3 at the half, but took a one-goal lead at 8-7 at the end of the third quarter and broke it open with three goals in the final stanza. Daniel Soviero earned game MVP honors with four goals and two assists, while James Holdt added three goals. Mac Monroe and Stone Wharton paced Pine Crest with three goals a piece.
In the nightcap, Saint Andrew's (Boca Raton) broke open a tie game with nine goals in the third period, five by Conor Whipple, to defeat the Benjamin School (Palm Beach Gardens) 16-7. Benjamin had two goal leads three times in the first half, but Grant Mahler tied the game at four with just 7.8 seconds remaining in the stanza. Whipple finished with a total of nine goals to earn game MVP honors.
Saint Andrew's has won 14 state high school championships overall and until losing to Lake Highland Prep a year ago had won eight in a row. Benjamin was undefeated a year ago and captured the last two state club championships.
An estimated 4,000 people attended throughout the day, which also featured a clinic – the Casey Powell Lacrosse Experience – between the second and third games as well as youth lacrosse games.
