Here we go again….. In the last issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, there was a letter to the editor complaining about low cost spay and neuter clinics. I'm tired of defending myself and people who want to try and make a difference so I let it go. Someone did respond, though, and the original author got to respond as well. The response was even more offensive than the original letter so here we go again. Let's get rid of some myths, shall we?
1) Spay/neuter are bad medicine. There are no bad clinics, there are only bad people. We can use a ton of examples here. A knife can be used to kill someone or feed your family. A hammer can be used to build a house or end a fight. "Clinics" don't decide to do surgery without pain medication, bad doctors do. Banning spay/neuter clinics is not the answer. Taking the license away from bad doctors is.
2) Spay/neuter clinics perform subpar surgery. Really? I have a doctor here in my town that does surgery all day out of 1 surgery pack. This is fine unless he opens a low cost clinic? That's crap. If your spay/neuter clinic is run by a bad doctor than you should file a complaint with your state board.
3) Unless a surgery is performed under university hospital conditions, it's unacceptable and dangerous. More crap. As long as you get a sterile surgical pack, pain management and a safe anesthetic protocol, you are getting an acceptable surgery. Think it's wrong that the low cost clinic doesn't put a catheter in every surgical patient? Go pay full price. The fact of the matter is, some people want a Timex, some want a Rolex. You can shop at Wal-Mart or Tiffany's. But don't tell people who are poor that they should go without a watch.
So why does your veterinarian tell you that the low cost spay/neuter clinic is committing animal abuse?
1) They are greedy. News flash: some veterinarians are bad people. They will abuse your trust to make sure that you only spend your money at their hospital.
2) They are elitist. Some people think you should only own a pet if you can pay top dollar for "the best" care. This is wrong on two levels: first, maybe people who can't afford pets and kids shouldn't have they, but they do. The pet should not suffer just because people won't take care of them. Second, ask them what happens when someone gets injured at their practice. EVERY veterinarian I know has sutured up a person. Why didn't they pay for their staff to get "the best" care?
3) They are bad doctors and business people. You need to remember that being a veterinarian means running your own business. If all you do is give "shots" and spay/neuter, then you are in a dying business. These guys are afraid to change. They can't all of a sudden become doctors again, so they fight every threat to the status quo. Once it becomes proven that you don't need to vaccinate your pet every year, these guys will go out of business.
As hard as I've been on low cost clinic detractors, let's end on some of their valid points and hope that we can correct these problems to help make sure that less animals get put to sleep each year.
1) Low cost clinics enable people to have more animals that they should have. Having worked in this field for more than 10 years I know this is true. I see people come to these clinics and the kids have no shoes, the parents need medical treatment themselves and you told them not to get any more pets last year. But without a low cost option would these people just not get any pets?
2) People abuse the free spay/neuter clinics. Yes people lie, they make up fake names and they fake tax records. I've even seen some people show up with grandma and tell us she owned the 80lb pit bull. I always agree this is a problem. But is the fact that some people will abuse the system, a reason to deny everyone help? There would be NO social programs if we operated under that assumption.
3) Lost cost clinics are cutting some corner. Yes, they are. Either your pet is going home shortly after surgery, your pet is not getting a catheter and fluids during surgery, or they are going to do 50 that day and no one will watch your pet wake up from anesthesia. It is NOT the same procedure you are getting at the full service hospital. Your veterinarian is not trying to screw you. Veterinary medicine is just like every other business; you get what you pay for. You have to decide if you want the Timex or the Rolex.
So there it is, my rant on this topic…again. Here's my recommendation for you if you believe that low cost clinics are eating your lunch. Spend more time telling people the difference between your clinic and the free clinic. Most of the people who go to the low cost clinic are there because they want to be there, not because they have to be there. They don't value a full cost clinic's services. Let them go and take better care of the people who want what you have to offer.
If you're considering a low cost clinic, ask questions. Ask the staff what you are getting. If you don't like that answer call another clinic and ask why there is a price difference.

The Car Connection Suzuki Forenza Overview
The Suzuki Forenza was a compact four-door sedan and wagon sold in the United States from 2004 through 2008 by the Japanese carmaker in an ambitious drive to expand its sales. The effort largely failed, and while the Forenza was nominally replaced in 2010 by the slightly larger and much sportier Kizashi sedan, Suzuki announced in November 2012 that it would withdraw from the U.S. car market altogether.
The Forenza was actually a car that had previously been sold in the U.S. as the Daewoo Nubira, before that Korean maker stopped selling cars in 2002 after an abortive attempt to enter the U.S. market. The lines were simple and clean, as was the interior, but by 2008, the design was dated and the mismatched plastics of the interior were considerably below the best in class.
Built in South Korea, the Forenza was sold in the U.S. with a 127-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired to either a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic transmission. Reviewers called the performance marginal, as well as noisy, and fuel efficiency was only mediocre, ranging from 22 to 23 mpg combined depending on body style and transmission.
When new, the Forenza had a relatively firm ride, but its roadholding didn't get particularly good reviews either. The Forenza's real advantage was the high level of equipment for the price. Standard features even on the base Forenza included air conditioning; power windows, locks, and heated mirrors; and a stereo with built-in CD player. The Forenza Premium version added cruise control, keyless entry, fog lamps, and anti-lock brakes (in those years, still a $500 option), along with an optional power moonroof.
The Forenza didn't change notably over its five years on the market, with minor equipment updates here and there. The 2008 model, for instance, added chrome door handles, along with a $400 Convenience option package that bundled fog lamps and steering-wheel-mounted controls for the audio system. Bluetooth was optional only on the 2008 Forenza.
Safety ratings for the Suzuki Forenza weren't stellar. It received four out of five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under a set of standards that has now been replaced by more stringent tests. But the Insurance Industry for Highway Safety (IIHS) rated the only 'Acceptable' in frontal impact and 'Poor' both in side and rear impact protection. Anti-lock brakes remained optional and electronic stability control was not available.
The Suzuki Forenza has the minor distinction of being one of the last compact wagons sold in the U.S. It was survived only by the Hyundai Elantra Touring (itself killed after the 2012 model year) and the current Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen.

Mistress Amber orders you to stare at her hot body as she play with her huge breasts. She tells you that she is going to let you cum, but only if you obey all of her instructions. See those huge, beautiful breasts? Her gorgeous pussy? That's right, you are going to worship Amber's body just the way she likes until she cums. Once she does, you had better be ready to jerk your dick just like she orders, then cum a huge load as a tribute to her. But be prepared to eat your own cum once you do it.

Lawrence D. Hills' (1911-1991) ground-breaking book on all aspects of fruit and vegetable growing. It was widely praised on its publication and remains a classic text in the world of organic gardening. 'Its great merit is that one feels that every operation described has been personally carried out by the author and selected as the most satisfactory after due consideration of traditional methods. The treatment of each plant is described from start to finish with sense, relish and humour; there are many fascinating analyses of vitamin and mineral contents and nutritional values, of different vegetables and fruits; and there is excellent advice on picking, harvesting, as well as on cooking ...it is the best practical guide to the subject that has appeared for years, and the author is not concerned with argument or philosophy, only with growing produce well' - Country Life.

CrossFit and yoga are both favourite ways of sweating in Columbus, so to introduce you to our almost open Polaris Store, our educator Layne asked yogi and ambassador Lara Falberg which yoga poses are best for elevating your CrossFit practice.
Yin and Yang
At first glance, yoga and CrossFit seem like an unlikely combination. Once you learn more about the two disciplines, however, you begin to realize that yoga can really be the peanut butter to CrossFits' jelly. Lara Falberg, an ambassador here in Columbus, Ohio, helped me realize how many similarities there are between yoga and CrossFit.
Physically, CrossFit depends on the flexibility of the body in order to remain injury free. When speaking with alumni ambassador and 2010 Crossfit Games Champion, Grahm Holmberg, he brought up three important body parts to be mindful of in order to get the most bang for your WOD (that's CrossFit speak for 'workout of the day'): hips, ankles, and shoulders. These body parts should remain stretched and strong for success.
Yoga Poses for Crossfitters
Lara chose three yoga poses for CrossFitters to focus on, that will strengthen and stretch the hips, ankles and shoulders.
Pigeon Pose or Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, is incredible for opening up your hips. If you know a thing or two about hip openers it tends to be where we hold a lot of emotion so don't worry if you start to get a little teary eyed!
Eagle Pose or Garudasana, will stretch your ankles as well as improve your endurance. It's best to warm your body before this pose.
Camel Pose or Ustrasana, is great for strengthening your shoulders and opening your chest. It complements those handstand pushups you have been working on.
Most Importantly...
Listen to your body. Yoga will improve your flexibility and increase strength but it also teaches you to be aware of what your body needs. Add some yoga into your CrossFit routine to remain injury-free.

I was given some Thule roof bars the other day (for a roof box that I have since bought). I was trying to figure out how the bars fixed to the car. There were no instructions and I hadn't spoken to the person who had given me the bars.
I saw that there were some keys and figured out that the ends came off. But beyond this I couldn't actually see how they attached to the car. However, when I picked up the roof box and was shown how to do it, I could see how simple and ingenious it was.
It reminds me of the time I was trying to put up a tent I borrowed from a friend. Once they showed me how the first pole went, the rest just slotted into place.
Sometimes, no matter how much we think we might know, instructions are useful. But what would be even more useful is useful instructions that accepted I wouldn't read them until I needed them and just muddled through for the most part.

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 *Crew Preps With Robotics Training* S118-E-09467 : International Space StationImage above: Backdropped by Earth's horizon and the blackness of space, the International Space Station appears to be very small as it moves away from Space Shuttle Endeavour. Earlier the STS-118 and Expedition 15 crews concluded nearly nine days of cooperative work onboard the shuttle and station. Image credit: NASA TO VIEW IMAGE GO TO:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html The Expedition 15 crew will be busy working with robotics aboard the International Space Station this week in advance of the relocation of Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3) on Thursday. Flight Engineers Clay Anderson and Oleg Kotov used training software Tuesday to simulate the robotic arm operations required for the PMA-3 relocation. Later, Anderson moved the station's robotic arm, Canadarm2, into its starting configuration for Thursday's activities. Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Kotov reviewed Common Berthing Mechanism operations. PMA-3 is being moved from Unity's port docking mechanism to its nadir, or earth-facing, docking mechanism to make room for the installation of the Harmony node which is set to arrive on Space Shuttle Discovery in October. + Read more about Expedition 15 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition15/index.html> + View crew daily timelines <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/timelines/index.html> ---- Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

If an empty lot can be called prominent, this would be the one.
The landscape is about to change on 12th Street near Pacific, across from Rosauers, as Columbia Gorge Family Medicine will break ground soon on a new clinic building at the site.
The new clinic will be located on what is currently vacant land just east of the Columbia Gorge Community College Indian Creek Campus.
Long a site filled with cars in its days as a new car lot, the land has more recently been used by temporary businesses, and for piles of fill dirt and for a snow removal depot during major winter weather events in the past few years.
After nearly 30 years at 1108 June St., the medical practice will move next year. Construction will start in January, with move-in happening later in 2011.
"As our clinic has continued to expand, we have simply outgrown the building here, running out of space, and it was starting to be a problem," said Kristen Dillon, M.D., one of the four physician-owners of the practice. With her are Tony Gay, M.D., Steve Becker, M.D., and Beth Foster, M.D.Moving to a new site is part of the clinic's plan for the next 30 years of Columbia Gorge Family Medicine.
"The way we practice medicine has changed, and we're ready for a fresh start in a building that reflects this.
"This new clinic will give us room to grow to meet community needs, including adding a pediatrician next year," Dillon said.
"We think the 12th and Pacific site will offer convenient patient access and the possibility of collaboration with the college, as well as being easy-to-find for our regular and acute-care patients."
Proximity to the college will improve the existing collaboration: the clinic serves as a medical assistant training site for CGCC nursing students.
The clinic has hired Fischer Development to design and construct the clinic. The medical clinic will use part of the parcel; with a second building site available for sale or future development.
"We're certainly looking to improve anything we can to improve privacy; to maintain a setting that is comfortable for people, who often come feeling ill and worried," Dillon said.The current building is too small, and the clinic is out of parking, a problem that would be aggravated by increased development in the area. (Expansion plans are under way at the neighboring Providence Health campus.)
"Medicine has changed in certain ways, and we are anticipating more demand for primary care with health care reform, and don't need a filing area and as much reception space," Dillon said.Health care reform will mean group clinics serve as "first call for just about everything, including medication, coordinated out of that practice — which has been our style for decades," Dillon said
.These days a group practice also includes "a robust computer and information storage system, as we work to improve communication quality within the practice and with other sources of care," Dillon said.The clinic serves patients from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 8-2 on Saturdays; and acute care weekdays from 5 to 7 p.m.Dillon said this recognizes that "your infection doesn't know it's 6:30 on a Tuesday.
"With working families, and relying on two incomes, people can't always be there within traditional hours."

Mon. 9/1/14 6:50am kat330:
@mauri: Was away making coffee and muffins and return to "onionjuice"? Eww. I'd think some red currant juice would work better. Walking Dead is trying out Elderberry Tea for their deadly swine flu (yeah, just got Season 4 on Friday).

@kat oh do you make your own muffins? if so can I have the recipe.

Morning all,

@mauri: Daggit, you called me out. Ei, a mix in a pouch. I'm a cook, not a baker.
♥ Mon. 9/1/14 6:56am Sem Chumbo:
Is it muffin morning, or what? Just made bran/wild blueberry/ wild honey ones for breakfast guests.
♥ Mon. 9/1/14 6:56am duke:
Thank you for playing Arthur Russell
Mon. 9/1/14 6:58am mauri:
I once tried to make a good muffin but failed so many times that I gave up.
Mon. 9/1/14 6:59am fxo:
@kat330:we are always confused.
hello to PP, doofus, and, of course, duke.
mornin', 3d-nyc.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:00am kat330:
Just turned the muffin tin around in the oven -- looking good (banana nut). Baking's just never intrigued me. We don't even keep sugar or flour in the house (I usually use cornstarch for thickening a sauce).
Mon. 9/1/14 7:02am kat330:
Oh, I take that back. Philo recently bought a bag of rye flour to make his fave Finnish rye bread. So far, not great success (at least I don't care for it).
Mon. 9/1/14 7:03am mauri:
for a good ryebread one should have a sourdough in storage.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:07am kat330:
@mauri: Yes, he does. In a few, he can explain himself. It's just never a good texture in the end (for me). He eats it though, and claims he likes it.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:12am mauri:
true finnish attitude that
Mon. 9/1/14 7:15am Philo Gristle:
Hey Frank and gang!
Mauri -- Kat likes 'hapankorppu,' which is (if I correctly recall) made by Oulainen and marketed in the US as "Finncrisp." What I made was an old 'ruislimppu' made from just salt, water and rye, after making my own sourdough. Good flavor, crusty on the outside, but a tad soggy and soft on the inside.
♥ Mon. 9/1/14 7:16am Sem Chumbo:
Blowing my mind up real good that last set. Thanks, Frank!
♥ Mon. 9/1/14 7:18am Sem Chumbo:
@Philo: I bake my bread in a cast iron roasting pan, top on, pre-heated to 450 F. It's a little tricky getting the dough in but I never have soggy centres in my loaves,

Mon. 9/1/14 7:21am mauri:
Oh Sem. Do you have a good muffin recipe ? :D
Hey Philo. hapankorppus are good. addictive.
I never tried making ryebread. Whitebread I made came out fine.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:23am Philo Gristle:
@Sem That sounds like a great idea, though we're trying to move and do not want to add anything heavy until we do! I think it would all turn out better if I yielded to yeast and added some white flour to the mix. But I'm stubborn. 10th time the charm!
Mon. 9/1/14 7:23am bibi:
hi all, any band called 'soggy centres' yet ?
Mon. 9/1/14 7:23am mauri:
you can do it philo!
Mon. 9/1/14 7:24am fxo:
get on it, bibi. Haste makes waste.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:24am Philo Gristle:
@fxo Another famed Finnish dish is baking a bread with raw fish inside it. You do it slow enough and even the bones turn into mush.
@Mauri Yeah, I was having withdrawals and my parents shipped a big box every Christmas for the first decade. A bit over a year ago the local supermarket started carrying the import version.
♥ Mon. 9/1/14 7:25am Sem Chumbo:
@Mauri: recipes are pretty much what you'd read anywhere. I use a basic one, add what I like and remember to NOT overmix the batter. Baking is a lot about time, temperature and technique rather than recipes, I think.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:27am mauri:
@Sem allright. I'll try again. I just always tried to make something I've had at an airport. Cant get the dough similar to that. Sort of airy bread like.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:28am kat330:
@Philo: You ever try that "kalakukko" (raw fish in a loaf) number in our home, I'll divorce you. ;)

@Bibi: Thanks -- actually it was presented to him on SoundCloud on July 1st.
@mauri: :)

Go for it, bibi! I'm all about sharing. :)
Mon. 9/1/14 7:35am kat330:

Mon. 9/1/14 7:37am bibi:
ha, never heard an english version of this one. fun.
and of course it is jarvis cocker...

This Jarvis cover is lovely...

I only knew this from the version Stereo Total did with Alex Chilton, which is great.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:41am bibi:
thx philo.
btw just checked cocker's wiki page and, guess what, he directed aphex's 'on' video !
is it just me or this is quite astonishing.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:44am Philo Gristle:
Pleased to hear that; Jarvis always seemed like a very smart guy.

Now in here its time to catch crayfish. I've never had one but soon probably will.
♥ Mon. 9/1/14 7:52am Sem Chumbo:
@Philo: thanks for the link. Wonder if I could substitute lobster?:-P
Mon. 9/1/14 7:53am Philo Gristle:
@Sem Don't see why not!! Sounds better than vendance to me. ;) Or crayfish, since it is in season.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:53am kat330:
@Sem: plentiful where you are and a whole different kettle of fish. Now I could certainly go for that "kalakukku" as a lobster roll.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:53am bibi:
philo, that is a big loaf ! (i dont know in english but in french it is a clearly ambiguous sentence).
hopefully they added the kalakukko cross section picture below...
Mon. 9/1/14 7:55am bibi:
everything might be kalakukkable...
Mon. 9/1/14 7:55am kat330:
@bibi: Ha! :)
Mon. 9/1/14 7:56am bibi:
"After being baked for several hours, traditionally in a masonry oven".
it makes sense, it is obviously a piece of masonry ;)
Mon. 9/1/14 7:56am Philo Gristle:
There's something fishy about that sentence... :)
Mon. 9/1/14 7:56am kat330:
Can you just imagine the number of "k"s in a Finnish Scrabble game ...
Mon. 9/1/14 7:58am bibi:
great set, fxo.
@kat, there s just one in french, so you cant even manage 'kayak' (which would be 32 pts without bonuses) !
♥ Mon. 9/1/14 7:58am Sem Chumbo:
@kat: I wonder if the Scrabble company has ever thought of contextualizing tile frquency based on language? .
Mon. 9/1/14 7:59am kat330:
@Sem: Oh, I'm certain they do. Would not be any fun if half your words could not even be formed because of tile shortage.
Mon. 9/1/14 7:59am bibi:
seriously, fxo, 4tet & the beach boys in the same set, this is what i want for mondays.

Mon. 9/1/14 8:12am bibi:
just checked, there are million ways to slice a kalakukko. some even manage to slice it on the long side.
@kat: no, freestyle. but good idea, could make it spicier.
Mon. 9/1/14 8:14am kat330:
@bibi: Lengthwise maybe so some aren't shorted with fish-less end bits?
Mon. 9/1/14 8:16am bibi:
i dont know, the guy sure knows how to slice, but edge slices are mere bread carbonite.

There was an interesting show in npr on Saturday afternoon about a guy who was digitizing old tape loops. As he was letting these 20 year old tapes play, they slowly disintegrated and the sound mutated as elements started falling off them... forget the show, maybe Radio Lab?

..the opening 12String Fadd9 chord ( www.beatlesbible.com... ) of HardDay'sNight - as convenient a marker of 'the 60s' 'really beginning' as others...too convenient, but a great sound...
Mon. 9/1/14 8:27am mauri:
yeh thats something I wanna use with tracks of a song after mixing them. In mastering tape works well too. You can drive it trhough louder and get soft distortion kind of sound.
Should get a tapedeck and old c-casettes. someday....

Thx Philo !
...as Satriani said about 'ElectricLadyland' album ; people made effects 'by hand' then - & on tape - & it's much more satisfying & interesting for the brain then the same digital effects everyone just punches in now.
- I think LoFi experiments share this w/ the great 60s Classics : Sgt. Pepper was 4-track tape, after all (if best studio & Engineers & all)...
- Love acoustic musicians who can deliver w/ minimal setup like this...a taste of Kottke is pehaps more my speed than other 'K' baked goods : ) ...

@3d I suppose deteriorating audio beats deteriorating video, though there is a certain amount of nostalgia for all that dead media. Sometimes watching all these pristine blurays gives me a hankerin' for some good old pan-and-scan vhs.

Bye frank and everyone. lovely morning.
Mon. 9/1/14 8:46am Philo Gristle:
@fxo Yeah, absolutely with you. A great show on radio is usually over 75% greatness, the rest so-so. I just happen to hate Oasis for mostly irrational reasons (you have to have at least one band you hate!).

The Sting cover is called "Fields of Gold" not glory.

hi rrn63, just to come back on analog/digital discussion, these 'lofi' experiments were usually very expensive. as you said, best engineers, best material, etc. im being reductive but somehow digital is for the people, analog for the elite. even today, i want good old synths but they are so expensive... and you can go very 'lofi' with digital and get fleshy sounds just by détourning cheesy effects etc.
Mon. 9/1/14 8:52am 3d-nyc:
Tks, Frank, and always re-visit your shows during the week-
Have a good week all!

Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez are already discussing working on a third instalment of their Sin City franchise.
Rodriguez adapted both of Miller's graphic novels, firstly with 2005's Sin City, while a second movie Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is released next month.
Miller told the Comic-Con audience: "Robert and I are already talking about Sin City 3. So you'd better show up for number two or they won't pay for it."
Last month, Miller also hinted that a Sin City 3 could happen.
"Meanwhile, the other thing I'm eager to do and I've got plans (in my head anyway) for Sin City 3 - that will of course be subject to me and Robert having countless lengthy and productive arguments," he said.
Miller serves as a writer, co-director and executive producer on Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For reunites Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson and Mickey Rourke, who all appeared in the first movie.
They are joined by new cast members Eva Green, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Jeremy Piven, Jamie Chung and Lady Gaga.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will be released in the US on August 22 and in the UK on August 29.

April 12, 2012
The beliefs and sentiments expressed by those whose letters appear here are not necessarily shared by the
Adventist Review
or its editorial staff. These letters have been edited for clarity and length. -- Editors
Defender of the Faith
Cliff Goldstein has done it again! In "
Changing the Debate
" (Mar. 15, 2012) he hit the nail on the head.
Those with the narrow view [of origins] are the ones who try to fit the activities of the infinite God into a finite (and very narrow) Darwinian box. And why do so many Adventists and other Christians twist their brains into knots trying to blend the two concepts? I can think of only one reason: they have more faith in (so-called) science than they do in God's word.
And why do they place their faith in the convoluted reasoning of evolutionary "prophets?" Could it be because they are afraid of being ridiculed by the majority? How else can one explain their almost frantic attempts to deny the abundant evidence against evolution?
Truth has always been rejected by the majority, so why should that bother them? As far as I know, the last time the majority of humankind was on the right side of things was when a large boat beached itself on some mountain in Turkey. And that was almost 4,500 years ago.
--Wally Sumner
Canaan, Maine
Clifford Goldstein's latest column, "Changing the Debate," was right on. I couldn't agree more. The responses he mentioned probably referred to an earlier column in which he defended the literal interpretation of Genesis (an interpretation that Paul, Peter, and Jesus all shared).
It's absurd to consider each of the "days" of creation as eons of time and try to fit that into the fourth commandment. It would read something like this: "The seventh million-year period is the Sabbath of the Lord." Apparently Moses also was a literalist.
Darwinian evolution doesn't hold up to the scrutiny of modern microbiologic science. The enzyme and protein systems in cells are far too complex to have ever evolved one slow step at a time. This is well stated by Michael Behe in his book Darwin's Black Box, and further supported by Lee Strobel in his very good investigative work
The Case for a Creator.
Behe states that the complexity of the cell screams that there was intelligent design.
It's good to have modern defenders of the Adventist faith, such as Clifford Goldstein.

Hats off to Clifford Goldstein for again simplifying the arguments used against a literal, seven-day creation. The subterfuge is thick, but the truth clears it away. We stand with him!

A Woman of Noble Character
I was happy to see the extensive space and story "
Elly Economou, Andrews University Professor, Passes
" (Mar. 15, 2012). She deserves all that and more.
Economou was a guest in our home many times, and we enjoyed many Sabbath afternoon walks and hikes together in Tennessee. She used to spend time at Little Creek Academy near Knoxville in order to have a quiet place to translate Ellen White's books into Greek. Many times she prepared delicious Greek vegetables for us. We were much impressed with the character and personal devotion of both her mother and herself.
Once, when we visited Andrews many years ago, she found several of our friends who lived in the area and invited them to come to her home for a party. We were astounded that she would take such a personal interest in us, and be so kind and generous. We never forgot that beautiful evening in her lovely home with her and her dear mother.
She was always interested in our personal welfare, writing us notes of encouragement, always filling every available space on the sheet of paper. Our granddaughter, planning to attend Andrews University next year, was looking forward to visiting with our dear "Aunt Elly."
She was an inspiration to us. We count it a blessed privilege to have known her, and we look forward to spending eternity with her in the new earth.
--Ruth Watson
Thousand Oaks, California
I remember Elly Economou as a gracious hostess. In the mid-1980's when the Association of Adventist Women held its annual conference at Andrews University, we were invited to her home for Sabbath dinner. People crowded her living room, dining room, and enclosed porch. Many people helped put the dinner together. Silver platters were pulled from storage under beds. I didn't know her well, but I was impressed with her lovely hospitality. She provided the setting for good conversation.

A Matter of Lower Case and Upper Case
In reading the article "
Unrest Over a Rest Day
" (Feb. 9, 2012), I was a bit confused about what the unrest was about. I was confused about the sabbaths mentioned with the feasts in Leviticus and the seventh-day Sabbath.
Leviticus 23:27 tells how to keep the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of the seventh month. The first day was to be a sabbath (lower case) of solemn rest. On the ninth day there was to be another sabbath (lower case).
Verse 39 tells of the Feast of the First Fruits. Again, the first and last days were to be sabbaths (lower case).
Then in verse 38 they were to keep the Sabbath (upper case), as well as these other sabbaths (lower case).
All these feasts pointed to Jesus and His ministry. Colossians 2:14-17 indicate that these feasts and rituals pointing to Jesus were nailed to His cross; meaning that Jesus fulfilled them, and they no longer have to be observed. The apostle wrote: "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day (lower case in KJV). These are a shadow of the things that were to come [Jesus' death]; the reality, however, is found in Christ."
is an integral part of our Adventist heritage. I devour every item. I often want to reply to some, but this time I just had to.

Londolozi Facts & Information
Leopards of Londolozi
Londolozi is synonymous with leopards. Over the past thirty years the leopards of Londolozi have developed legendary status, owing to the truly remarkable partnership between the leopards and rangers and trackers. Usually regarded as elusive, shy and solitary, these elegant, patient cats are more easily observed at Londolozi than anywhere else in Africa.
Londolozi identified 54 different leopards in 2005.
The progenitor of this extensive tree will be forever known as Mother Leopard. This leopard has almost mythological status at Londolozi, being the first leopard to be clearly sighted after five long years of restorative land management and conservation in the 1970s. The appearance of this young female – who was to become known as Mother Leopard and produce nine litters of cubs – was the beginning of a relationship between man and wild leopard the likes of which the world had never seen.
Today guests might be lucky enough to see one of her progeny step suddenly and silently into view, experiencing the same heart stopping intensity as that first sighting.
This partnership of man and animal, which has endured over the decades, has become symbolic of a search for a new way forward. While the lessons learnt have ostensibly been about leopards they are simultaneously about humility and respecting sanctity – recognising a world where it is possible to share each other's space in harmony and for mutual benefit. Through the revelations of Mother Leopard the Londolozi family have moved towards a deeper understanding of sustainable future for all.
Conservation at Londolozi
Man and the land are inseparable – this has been the long lesson that conservation has taught us, and consequently man is obliged not just to protect but also to restore the land. At Londolozi the care of the land has been an enduring theme on our agenda and one where human intervention has proven sound and beneficial.
At the outset, a primary objective was to demonstrate that man and wildlife can interact on a sustainable basis. The Londolozi land was nurtured back into abundance through an ambitious programme to recreate the river systems, restore natural drainage lines, restock and rebuild the productivity of the land. The results are truly remarkable: Londolozi is a uniquely diverse reserve supporting a dazzling array of animals.
Londolozi have spent an average of R1million every year for the past 12-years on habitat restoration projects. The land care programme is overseen by some of the world leaders in rangeland ecology.
Current Projects:
Micro Catchment Management:
An active micro-catchments management programme, aiding the land to retain its water, has helped make Londolozi largely drought resistant and provides employment for surrounding communities. They are already seeing the benefits of this project as scores of animals are gathering in rehabilitated areas.
Alien Plant Control:
Londolozi are proud to be able to claim the cleanest stretch of Sand River bank in the Sabi Sands Wildtuin thanks to our aggressive long-term strategy to control alien plants. Lantana, a particularly invasive alien, is down from 14% in 2001 to 3% today.
Bush Clearing Programme:
A bush-clearing programme has been underway for several years. Bush clearing creates (or restores) a mosaic of habitats suitable for a diversity of herbivores with the spin-off of improved visibility for game viewing. Local communities benefit through employment opportunities in the clearing operations, and in the subsequent availability of wood for fuel or charcoal manufacture.
Cuisine at Londolozi
At Londolozi, superb cuisine is considered an essential part of the experience and a vital component of our philosophy. Much of the day revolves around specifically crafted culinary delights – freshly baked muffins at sunrise, morning morsels on the game drive, a fortifying breakfast, lunch and indulgent high tea before the next game drive and its sundowner treats and, the grand finale, a traditional fireside banquet or a private dinner.
The choice of ingredients reflects our efforts to establish right relations with the planet. Every ingredient is chosen with care, favouring home grown organic produce, free range game and herbs from our kitchen garden to create dishes that are irresistibly delicious and healthy. The selection seafood is guided by the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative and the number of imported ingredients is kept to a minimum.
The recipes are a source of great pride as many have been handed down through the Varty family or were created in the Londolozi kitchen by Executive Chef Jaco Myberg. Jaco's signature style, arises from exploring the continental fusion of Indian, Malay, Dutch, African, Portuguese and British influences in local South African dishes to create exquisite culinary experiences.
Activities at Londolozi
At Londolozi Private Game Reserve the Varty family has refined the menu of activities to include a unique blend of senses and soul, creating an offering of sophisticated style and adventure that has recaptured the subtle essence of the Swahili word for journey – safari.
Londolozi offers spectacular Big 5 game drives in the extensive wildlife area with unsurpassed leopard viewing but this is just the beginning of what really constitutes "the Londolozi experience". Londolozi is the ideal space to escape from the rigours of everyday existence, to shift into a full appreciation of the moment and awaken the senses. With this in mind we have created tailor-made activities to help recuperate mind, body and spirit.

My corner of cyber space to rejoice, cry, vent, or throw the fit that I want to but know that I really shouldn't in front of my children
Posted by DeLana at 11:27 PM
That is especially hard to deal with far from home. I am sure the Hulls will still want you back though. Kids, you can't leave them on the side of the road, and you can't take them anywhere.

Dear Diary,
On Sunday I twisted my knee playing football! UGH! Yes, and it was the same knee that I tore 5 years ago. This week has been really frustrating--for the first half my knee was really swollen and I couldn't walk or drive. All the memories associated with the first time I tore my ACL just flooded back and it was so frustrating and I cried.
But I have no reason to be so sad because I have such a wonderful husband! Al drove me everywhere--even to class at night and to the doctor's office. He cooked dinner for me, and carried me around everywhere. And now my knee is getting better--I can walk on it and start moving it around thanks to physical therapy.
So this made me think of our marriage so far and all the things that make it special.
Here is one of my favorites:
On our honeymoon, Al and I are driving back to our hotel in Maui. I get the hiccups so I say, "I have the hiccups." A couple seconds of silence and then Al suddenly goes, "AHHH!" Which totally scares me and makes me scream and voila--hiccups are gone!
Some other things that Al likes to do:
- When I go to give him a hug when he comes home from work, Al will throw something in my face to distract me and run away.
- Same scenario as above except this time I chase him, and he tries to jump over the couch but trips and falls on his face
- He pretends to help me up out of bed and keeps pushing me back down.
- He'll give me a hug and then lean with all of his weight on me so then I have to push him back up to balance him. Not my favorite game--and usually we end up falling.
That's a good start for now--I will write about more games later that we play. Haha.
Now I'm in a great mood for the day!! =)
Happy Friday everyone!

Released by The Texas Department of Public Safety:
TEXAS - The Twilight Rapist Task Force has confirmed that a man arrested Saturday in Jackson County has been positively linked to several crimes against elderly women throughout Central and South Central Texas.
Early Saturday morning, Edna police officers on routine patrol responded to a medical emergency alert activated by an elderly woman and found a man fleeing the residence. After a short foot pursuit, the suspect was taken into custody. Task Force members traveled to Edna and quickly began an investigation that resulted in Billy Joe Harris, 53, being positively linked to crimes attributed to the Twilight Rapist.
"Countless men and women worked long hours on the Task Force investigating every lead in this case for more than a year," said DPS Director Steve McCraw. "As in many complex cases, these investigations turn quickly on a single incident. We are indebted to the brave victims and the Edna Police Department for helping solve these heinous crimes against defenseless elderly women."
After the arrest, a Texas Ranger was flown aboard a DPS aircraft to Jackson County. With a search warrant, he obtained a DNA sample from the suspect. The aircraft returned to Waco, where crime lab personnel worked throughout the night. Through DNA, the DPS lab was able to link the suspect to five other assaults in Yoakum, and Bell, Falls and Leon counties.
Texas Rangers and local task force partners worked throughout the weekend recovering several items of evidence further linking Harris to the crimes.
The suspect lives in Missouri City, Texas and works as a non-commissioned employee for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Rosharon. Employment records also indicate he was employed by a home health care agency in Houston. Harris is currently being held in the Jackson County Jail on a burglary charge in connection with the Edna attack. The Task Force investigation continues, and additional charges are expected.
The first known suspected attack was in Yoakum in January 2009. As many as 12 rapes, attempted rapes or burglaries in Yoakum and Luling and in rural Leon, Bell, McLennan and Falls counties through November of 2009 led to the formation of an informal task force. The victims generally lived alone and ranged in age from 65 to 91. At Governor Rick Perry's request, DPS formalized the Task Force in January 2010.
This investigation involved the combined efforts of the DPS; police departments in Yoakum, Luling, Moody and Edna; the sheriff's offices in Leon, Falls, McLennan, Jackson and Bell counties; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; the U.S. Marshals Service and the FBI.
"The successful development of evidence in this case is the result of the hard work of dedicated local, state and federal law enforcement officers of the Task Force and the outstanding work of Edna police officers Mike Yaws and Robert Chastain," said Texas Ranger Chief Tony Leal.

As we approach the election on May 7, Monster Raving Loony Party candidate Peter Hill has released a photo of himself with the party's top secret 'battle bike' to indicate how he intends to speed up the race to Westminster.
For the bike fans out there, the party's 'battle bike' was built in 1960 by the late George Brown, holder of 24 world records. With a top speed of 130mph, this bike set four British records in 1961.
The party would like to know of any private roads that are about a mile long and dead straight - contact them on firstname.lastname@example.com if you know of one.

Apple iPad jumpstarts new revolution
Sure, people have been using the Kindle for awhile, but have you seen the new Apple iPad? It looks pretty incredible and the price is right.
Now I don't have $499 to drop on a new iPad when it becomes available in March, but if I did I would jump all over one.
The new device is advertised as better than a laptop and better than a mobile device. The size is perfect. It is about the size of a piece of paper and its thin 1/2 width is sleek and slim. Its lightweight design will make it easy to carry around and transport. And it does it all.
The iPad will do all the things your laptop and mobile device can do, but it will do them better. I think the sell for this device is the size and the ability to use it more like a book than a computer or a phone.
The touch screen allows you to move through all the device's elements with ease and quickness. The interface makes complete sense and the keyboard is larger than a mobile device, eliminating the hassle of touching the wrong keys.
The iPad works with the more than 140,000 apps available and also works with iTunes.
There are different options for hard drive space which varies the price. Also, to purchase the iPpad with AT&T's 3G network, you will have to tack on another charge.
When it comes down to it though, this will be the future, for now. We might see newspapers and magazines all converting to using tablets like this. The Kindle was released quietly, but Apple's iPad was unveiled with a roar.

Christian cultists convicted of starving baby to death
Personally, I think the entire Christian religion could be pared down to two Bible passages: 1 John 4:8 and Luke 10:25-34. The first passage says, "God is love." The second passage is the story of the Good Samaritan, where the punch line is, "Love thy neighbor as thyself."
All else is just further explanation of these two passages. Unfortunately, the rest of the Bible seems to confuse some people greatly, giving us whacked-out nutball Christians like Jimmy Swaggart, Tim Haggard, and those crusty bastards at the Westboro Baptist Church.
And now these idiots.
"Queen Antoinette," "Princess Trevia," and "Prince Marcus," starved to death one-year old Javon Thompson because he supposedly refused to say "Amen" after a mealtime prayer. Five other members of the Maryland household, including the baby's mother Ria Ramkissoon, also failed to feed Javon, under orders from their "queen."
Queen Antoinette said that Javon had a "spirit of rebellion" in him.
The child's mummified body was found in a suitcase over a year after he died. The "queen" said that one day Javon would be resurrected.
The trio submitted only one piece of evidence at their murder and child abuse trial: a handwritten application for non-profit status for her organization, "1 Mind Ministries." In the application Queen Antoinette, whose real name is Toni Sloan, describes herself "as a chosen daughter of the most high God and a queen of Jesus Christ."
I could rant on this all day, but why bother? Read the story for yourself. Read 'em all. There are details in each story not in the other one.

And then tell me what it is about Christianity that brings out the crazy in so many people?ReplyDelete
I'll be interested to see if anyone has the answer. I ask myself this same question, daily. Here is one from a local paper (this particular article doesn't go into great detail, but others have indicated there several exorcisms practiced over the 'teen' to drive the devil out and draw Christ back into her.)
If her parents or the parents of baby Javon are any indication of what is considered "Christlike", bring on the debbil, I say.
Bat shit crazee.
Thanks for the story. It's both upsetting and revolting to see so many parents abusing their children, and abusing them to death, since they claim to be followers of He Who encouraged little children to come to Him "for such are the Kingdom of Heaven".ReplyDelete
In a related vein, I'd also like to post a link relating to another death caused by someone who follows the "teachings" of "Christian Counselor" Michael Pearl, who encourages whipping children with plumbing pipe to "break their spirits for Christ".
I'm sorry, but this makes my blood boil when hearing about such things.
I don't think it's Christianity itself. None of the teachings of Christ point to these kinds of actions. Rather, it is more of extremism that causes these things to happen. People of any faith or belief do crazy things when they look past the mark. I feel sorry for this family and the negative light they portray.ReplyDelete
I saw something the other day that said "Jesus is pretty cool, but some of his followers scare the crap out of me." This is a pretty good example of that.ReplyDelete

At dawn Tikal becomes a magical place, with the sound of birds and mammals, even though sometimes the mist don't let see the sun, the experience is extraordinary.
Enjoy of Tikal in a great way, guided tour through virgin jungle paths, visiting the major archaeological maya buildings, some of them can be climbed as the tallest maya construction: Temple of the Double-Headed Serpent, with 212 feet high. Tikal is cultural and natural UNESCO site.
Tikal National Park encompasses 576 square kilometres of jungle and thousands of ruined structures.
The central part of the ancient city alone contains 4,000 buildings and covers about 16 square kilometers.
Tikal is also part of the one-million-hectare Maya Biosphere Reserve created in 1990 to protect the dense forest of the Peten, which started to disappear at an alarming rate due to population pressures, illegal logging and slash-and-burn agricultural practices.
Archaeologist estimate that the Maya settled in the area now known as Tikal in about 900 BC.
Tikal grew into an important ceremonial, cultural, and commercial centre over the centuries. Most of the city's huge temples were constructed during the eighth century AD when Tikal became the greatest city in the Maya world with a population of perhaps 120,000.
Like Maya Complexes on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Tikal fell into decline at the end of the ninth century and was virtually abandoned. The causes of the Maya empire's collapse remains a mystery, but wars, famine, overpopulation and resource depletion have all been blamed.
Tikal's great stone monument languished for centuries and were gradually reclaimed by the jungle. Hernan Cortes, the conqueror of Mexico, and his motley band of conquistadors marched by Tikal in 1525, but they failed to see its temples concealed by 40-metre-tall cedar and mahogany trees.
Spanish friars later wrote of a great city hidden in the forest of the Peten. It wasn't until 1848 that an expedition sent out by the Guatemalan government officially discovered the ruins. Swiss, German and British archaeologist soon followed to clear debris and begin studying the site.
The Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, the Guatemalan Institute of Anthropology and History restored Tikal's structures during the 1950s and 1960s. More recently the cooperation of Spain has donated resources to restore some other structures. Today Tikal is to Guatemala what the Great Pyramids are to Egypt, a national symbol and a source of pride in the past.
Enormous trees still shroud Tikal's buildings, which cluster in groups reached by wide causeways meandering through the tropical forest, home to toucans, parrots, wild turkeys, howler monkeys, raccoon-like coatimundis and countless other creatures. Tikal's grand scale even awes those who have visited spectacular Mayan sites such as Palenque and Chichen Itza in Mexico.
The Temple of the Grand Jaguar (Temple I) and the Temple of the Masks (Temple II) loom like a pair of colossal bookends of opposite sides of the Great Plaza, a vast expanse ringed by terraces, palaces and ball courts.
Temple I rises some 50 meters above the plaza's eastern end. A stone stairway leads up the pyramids's nine tiers, corresponding to the nine levels of the Mayan underworld.
In 1958, archaeologist discovered the tomb of Hasaw Chaan Kawil (Ah Cacao, Lord Chocolate), one of Tikal's greatest rulers, inside Temple I. Hasaw's skeleton was festooned with jade ornaments and surrounded by precious offering, including pottery, alabaster, sea shells and pearls from the Caribbean coast. You can see a replica of this elaborate tomb in the Tikal Museum near the visitor's centre.
Temple I has yielded other treasures, including intricately carved wooden lintels over its doors, which have furnished clues to Maya beliefs and cosmology.
Called Temple of the Maskes because of huge stone masks guarding its roofcomb, Temple II is almost as tall as Temple I, Its summit offers travel-poster views of the Great Plaza and two labyrinthine ceremonial and residential complexes named the North Acropolis and the Central Acropolis.
Dozens of stone pillars known as stelae, each one paired with a circular altar, stand in rows throughout the plaza and along surrounding terraces. Carvings and glyphs commemorating important dates and the great deeds of Tikal's rulers still adorn many of these weathered monoliths.
From atop Tikal's pyramids, Maya astronomers tracked the movements of Venus and all the other visible planets.
They used calculations, extremely accurate even by today's standards, to fine tune their complex calendar, which can be compared to a system of interlocking gears made up to a 260-day calendar known as the tzolkin that meshed with a 365-day solar calendar to complete 52-year cycles.
The enigmatic Maya ran this complex arrangement like a time machine back and forth across immense spans of time.
One of Tikal's stelae records a mysterious date more that five millions years in the past, and glyphs on a stela at Quirigua in eastern Guatemala commemorate some obscure event that took place 400 million years ago.

How Many Keystrokes Programers Type a Day?
Your whole day's keystrokes probably can be done in less than 30 minutes if you just type continuously.
Every keyboard review starts with "I type all day …", but just exactly how much is your "type all day"?
You may be sitting in front of the computer all day, but the time your fingers actually dance on keyboard is probably less than 1 hour per day.
Contrast data-entry clerks. They are the real typists. Their fingers actually type, continuously, for several hours per day.
It is important to get a sense of how much you actually type, when considering typing advices, keybinding, keyboard layout, or whether to buy a ergonomic keyboard.
You can count your keystrokes using a key-logging software. [see List of Keylogging Software]
How Much You Type a Day?
Let's assume a data-entry clerk sustains at only 50 word per minute (wpm) in a normal work day. 50 wpm is 250 strokes per min, or 15k per hour. Suppose she works 8 hours a day, and assume just 3 hours actually typing (not counting meeting, lunch, phone, errands, interruptions.). 15k × 3 = 45k chars per day.
So, a low estimate for a data-entry clerk is just 45k chars per day. Based on this, you can get a sense of how many hours YOU type a day.
I sit in front of computer on average 13 hours per day for the past several years. I program and write several blogs. My actual typing is probably double of average day-job programers. From my emacs command frequency log for 6 months in 2008, it seems i only type 17k strokes per day. That means, i only type 70 minutes a day!
I was quite surprised how low my own figure is. But thinking about it… it makes sense. Even though we sit in front of computer all day, but the actual typing is a small percentage of that. Most of the time, you have to lunch, run errands, browse web, read docs, chat on phone, run to the bathroom. Perhaps only half of your work time is active coding or writing email/docs. Of that duration, perhaps majority of time you are digesting the info on screen.

Ok that is another side of the coin. Can you explain those picture i googled and posted because i think they are genuine and tell me if all the information on these sites are fabricated. When i googled it hundreds of links showing the Catholic Church in cahoots appeared. Their was even Catholic Priests that were Clergy by day and Nazi soldiers by night killing Non Catholics ie Orthodox Christians. Their was a Nazi Catholic Killer by the name of Stepinac that the vatican wanted to beatify why would the vatican reward a killer in such a way?
Thanks in advance.
Nazi-Era Victims Want UN to Investigate Vatican
By Patrick Goodenough
CNS London Bureau Chief
29 June, 2000
(CNSNews.com) - The Vatican, with its permanent observer status at the
United Nations under fire, may now face a challenge from survivors of
Nazi-era war crimes in the Balkans.
Serb and Jewish survivors of atrocities committed by the Nazi-installed
puppet regime in wartime Croatia have asked U.N. secretary-general Kofi
Annan to investigate their claims that the Vatican and a Roman Catholic
monastic order collaborated with the perpetrators.
In an open letter issued through their lawyers, the victims - who are
bringing a class action lawsuit against the Vatican Bank and the
Franciscan order - urged Annan to persuade the Vatican to open its
wartime archives, or face "appropriate action" to encourage them to do so.
The Vatican enjoys permanent observer status at the U.N., while
Franciscans International is a recognized non-governmental organization
at the U.N.
The Vatican's status is currently under fire from a coalition of
pro-abortion, feminist and other organizations, spearheaded by a
Catholic "pro-choice" group, campaigning to have it revoked, charging
that the Holy See's statehood is legally questionable.
The groups are incensed at the Vatican's consistent opposition in U.N.
forums to measures that would liberalize abortion and contraception,
particularly in developing countries.
The group of victims and relatives of victims who are bringing the
lawsuit in a San Francisco district court currently number 25. They come
from the United States, Yugoslavia and the Ukraine, said their attorney,
Jonathan Levy.
Papers have been served on the Vatican Bank, the Franciscans, and were
soon to be served on the Croatian Liberation Movement, which Levy said
was understood to be the "direct successors to the Ustashe" - the
wartime fascist organization which ruled Croatia.
The suit alleges that gold and other assets worth about $170 million
today, not including interest, were looted by the Ustashe and
safeguarded by the Vatican after World War II.
In their letter to Annan, the victims charge that some members of the
Franciscan order collaborated with the Ustashe, were actively involved
in atrocities, and knowingly helped wanted Ustashe war criminals,
including its notorious leader Ante Pavelic, to escape justice after the
They say the Vatican organized and financed the "rat line" which enabled
leading Nazis and Ustashe members to escape to Latin America. The escape
route was allegedly partly funded by assets stolen from concentration
camp and other victims, looted by the Ustashe, and removed to the Vatican.
The Vatican and Franciscans have consistently denied involvement in
these activities.
Pope Pius XII's alleged silence in the face of Nazi genocide has long
sparked controversy. His defenders say he spoke out in Christmas Eve
homilies during 1941 and 1942 against the extermination of Jews.
Many European Christians, Catholics and Protestant, took a stance
against the Nazis during the war. Thousands of Catholics, including
clergymen, were murdered by the Nazis because of their opposition to Hitler.
The Nazis installed the Ustashe in power in Croatia after Yugoslavia
fell to the Nazis in April 1941. More than 600,000 people - Serbs, Jews
and Roma (gypsies) - were killed in the Balkans by the fascist regime.
Those bringing the lawsuit say family and community members were subject
to "mass rape, beheadings, torture, mutilations, burnings, establishment
of concentration and forced labor camps, destruction of Orthodox
Churches and Jewish Synagogues, and looting of assets valued in the
hundreds of millions by the Ustashe and Franciscans."
They wrote to Annan: "Unlike every other civilized nation the Vatican
has refused to acknowledge its complicity in genocide and has refused
repeated requests by the United States government, Jewish and Roma
organizations to open its World War II archives to public scrutiny."
Levy said the plaintiffs were seeking access to more than 250 U.S. Army
Intelligence documents on one Krunoslav Draganavich, believed to have
been the head of the Vatican operation which laundered Ustashe funds and
smuggled Nazis out of Europe.
Some "heavily sanitized" documents had been released to the attorneys,
he said, but Army Intelligence withheld over 250 documents on grounds of
"national security."
"We are appealing this decision through an administrative process and if
unsuccessful will go to Federal Court."
A 1998 State Department report entitled "The Fate of the Wartime Ustasha
Treasury" implicated the Vatican and Franciscans is a number of postwar
crimes now being cited by the lawsuit plaintiffs.
Wartime documents raise questions
Recently a London newspaper published previously undiscovered documents
which showed that Britain's wartime leader, Winston Churchill asked a
prominent British Catholic family in 1940 to lobby the Vatican at the
time to denounce the Nazis and support the Allied cause.
The Sunday Telegraph said the discovery of the 1940 papers "undermine
the arguments of papal apologists who claim that the Allies understood
the reasons for the Pope's silence because they appreciated he was in an
impossible position."
One letter, from former Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, warned that Pope
Pius XII's stance left Catholics with the impression that a Europe
dominated by Hitler was the Pope's preferred outcome to the war.
"If the Catholics of, say, Belgium, Holland and France could be
persuaded that somehow Nazism was reconcilable with their religious
faith and moral outlook, then a potentially powerful center of
resistance to Nazi plans of domination would be removed," Halifax wrote
to Lord Fitzalan, a leading Catholic and former Conservative lawmaker.
One Foreign Office telegram questioned the wisdom of the Vatican's stance.
"What in the day of triumph for justice and fair-dealing will be the
feeling of Catholics the world over towards the church if it can be said
of it that after at first standing against Nazi paganism it eventually
agreed by its silence to assist in discrediting the principles upon
which it is founded?"
The London Times last month cited newly-found documents showing that
Britain's Minister to the Holy See, Francis D'Arcy Godolphin Osborne,
had given the Vatican a daily report of Nazi atrocities, starting in 1940.
Last April, Stuart Eizenstat, U.S. special representative and secretary
of state for Holocaust issues, told the Senate foreign relations
committee that the Vatican had "authorized a group of Jewish and
Catholic scholars to thoroughly review its collection of published
documents from the Nazi era."
He welcomed the step and expressed the hope that it would "lead to
additional measures for archival openness."
But it is unpublished records that Jewish scholars would like to see,
rather than an 11-volume work commissioned by the Vatican and published
by four Jesuit priests in the 1980s.
Israeli government minister Natan Sharansky urged Pope John Paul II
earlier this year to open the wartime records.
"As long as the Vatican archives are off-limits to historians and
survivors, the full truth will remain elusive, thereby casting a shadow
over efforts toward Jewish-Catholic rapprochement," he wrote.
