Food Safety Precautions-Food Poisoning Prevention
Food poisoning also referred to as food borne illness, is very common an indeed is preventable. Basic food safety habits that will go a long way in preventing your family from getting food borne illness. As you prepare your children's and family's food, even purées for young babies, it is important to understand how to prevent food borne illness, which can be dangerous for all members of your family, but especially to babies and young children. Food borne illness is caused by eating or drinking contaminated food or beverage. Most food borne illnesses are caused by microscopic, disease-causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. However, bacteria are the leading cause of food borne illnesses.
Some types of bacteria grow in food and in your digestive system once you eat the contaminated food. Salmonella is a common example of this type of bacteria. It is most often found in poultry, pork, water, and unpasteurized milk. Other types of bacteria produce toxins. E. Coli (Escherichia coli) is an example of bacteria that can produce toxins. Some toxins can lead to severe and fatal illness.
Food borne Illnesses Prevention:
- Wash your hands very well:
- Encourage frequent hand washing among all family members.
- Cook and reheat foods very well, to 74º C (165º F) or higher.
- Refrigerate foods promptly at 4º C (40º F) or lower.
- Freeze foods properly at minus 18º C (0º F) or lower.
- Keep your kitchen clean by washing counters, cutting boards, knives, and other equipment after each meal.
- Sanitize counters, cutting boards, knives, and other equipment with a mild bleach solution.
- To prevent infant botulism, a very dangerous infection, do not give honey to babies less than one year of age.
- Do not use or consume unpasteurized milk or milk products.

Here goes. Don't laugh.But I hardly touched her! Stephanie complained as the ref let her to the penalty box. She dove! Call her for the dive too!
Her team was losing the game 4-3 in the third period.
How about cutting us a break of once? Stephanie yelled as the timekeeper closed the door. Exasperated, Stephanie threw her gloves and stick on the floor of the box.
Shes called us for twelve penalties in the game, she muttered. No wonder were losing. This happens every night!
She looked up at the clock. Only 30 seconds left in her penalty, the team had nearly killed it off. Stephanie picked up her gloves and stick and got ready to jump on the ice. 10 seconds. 5 seconds.
The other team scored with 1 second left on her penalty. Furious, Stephanie stormed out of the box onto the ice.
Nice reffing, she snapped as she passed the ref heading to the bench.
What did you say? the ref demanded.
Before she could reply, one of Stephanies teammates came over and put a hand on Stephanies arm.
Take it easy you dont want another penalty, Lea reasoned.
But theyve scored every goal on the power play! Were losing this game because of her, Stephanie said, gesturing toward the ref.
I know. Take it easy, Lea said. Wait, what is she doing?
Two minutes, delay of game penalty. The ref had given them another penalty.
Thats ridiculous! Lea yelled, chasing the ref. You didnt even give us a warning!
You cant do that! Stephanie yelled, following Lea.
I can, and keep talking. Id love to give you another, the ref sneered.
Whos going to serve it, another teammate sighed, skating up to them.
Ill do it, Stephanie muttered, stepping back into the box.
Discouraged, the girls skated back to the bench where the coach had called a time out.
One shift at a time, girls, the coach said. Were not going to kill this all off at once, you just need to take it one shift at a time.
The girls killed the penalty, but lost the game. Their season was over; they had lost their playoff game.
That stupid ref! Lea complained in the locker room after the game. Its her fault we lost.
She was out to get us, Stephanie agreed.
Well, we werent very good defensively, their goalie pointed out.
It doesnt matter, we couldnt have won with officiating like that, Lea said.
There were only two penalties called on the other team in the whole game, Stephanie agreed.
I know that, Tania said. But the point is we could have played better ourselves.
Good effort tonight girls, the coach said, coming into the room. You played hard out there and Im proud of you.
Too bad the reffing was so lopsided, we almost had a chance to win, Stephanie grumbled, and took off her skates for the last time that year.

The French higher education minister has replaced the interim director of the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris, an elite institute of political science commonly known as Sciences Po, The New York Times reported [1].
The school's longtime director, Richard Descoings, died in April. He is credited with increasing the institution's international profile, to the degree that 40 percent of students come from outside France. However, the national audit office recently completed an investigation of the school's finances from 2005-10, raising questions about Descoings' compensation – about $700,000 per year – "weak internal and external controls," abuse of credit cards by staff, "toxic loans" for faculty housing, and the practice of paying some professors more than others, despite the fact that they taught fewer hours.
The Times notes that the controversy seems to stem in part from Descoings' attempts to recruit top talent. As the newspaper explains, "French professors are civil servants, whose salaries and working hours are strictly controlled. It was difficult for Mr. Descoings to recruit the faculty he wanted without offering the kind of arrangements, on pay and teaching load, that were criticized by the auditors."
Hervé Crès, a deputy to Descoings and the faculty pick for Science Po's directorship, has been replaced by Jean Gaeremynck, the head of the finance section for the Council of State.

He had a child with Anna Alice Hefner. I am pretty sure they were married at some point. As far as I know, when my grandmother (Donna Lee Crites) was born, he took off. I will see my gradmother this weekend and try to get more details.

okay, let's try to ruin it for everyone.
you've been warned!!!
on his death bed, doctor octopus is able to swap minds/bodies with peter parker. doc ock is able to see/experience all of spidermans past. and i mean everything. trapped in a dying doc octopus' body, spiderman is broken out of prison by "his" hired goons. spiderman also has access to all of octopus' memories, and is able to piece together a means of reversing the process, but has to be in contact with octopus/his body.
ock has made several countermeasures. so naturally a huge fight between the 2 occur. doc ock basically has an epiphany, seeing everything through spidermans eyes as if it was him, growing up and too this point. with peter parker (in doc ocks body)'s dying last words, ock decides to carry on with the great responsiblity line. and of course, he will now be the "superior" spiderman.
i mean, it's just a money grab/ new direction. whatever. it's like brand new day (which i hated). there's several outs in my opinion. i can see a ton of "neat" new ideas. but i'm kinda pissed about it (again).

I just wanted to let anyone in MI, IL, and MN know that if you are looking for a place to dress shop, stop at Macy's Bridal salon. My mom and I went today and it was the best experience! We went to a few other places after Macy's and they all sucked in comparison.
The sales people are very nice and knowledgeable... not really young girls who try and pressure you into a dress. She totally took my vision and brought out dresses that fit that. And she hit the jackpot right away. The first one I tried on I fell in love with! She put the veil on me and I was like "holy sh*t, I'm a bride!!!" and proceeded to get all giddy. Anyway, it was the best experience and I'd totally recommend that you check them out.

I got my dress at Macy's in Chicago, and I also had a great experience. The SA listented to exactly what I wanted, and almost every dress she showed me was exactly my style. She made the experience easy and fun. I would definitely recommend them.

Does every Macy's have a bridal salon?
Posted 28 December 2007 - 10:09 PM
No. Only Chicago, Michigan and Minneapolis Macy's have bridal salons.

Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain was found guilty on all charges and was sentenced to 180 days in jail in Decatur, Alabama today.
He will appeal the ruling.
UPDATE: McClain's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, said McClain has filed a request for a jury trial and McClain will be notified at a later date as to when the jury trial will begin.
McClain had been charged with third-degree assault, reckless endangerment, menacing, and unlawful discharge of a firearm, all of which are misdemeanor charges. He was sentenced to 45 days in jail for each charge.
He was released on bond and there is no word yet on whether he can serve his sentence after the upcoming football season.
McClain's co-defendant, Jaradious Willingham, was sentenced to 90 days in jail and agreed to testify against McClain earlier today.
McClain and Willingham stood trial on charges stemming from an attack on November 30, 2011 in Decatur. A cell phone video of the attack surfaced yesterday, and there were reports that McClain threatened the victim, Rishard Tapscott, this March.
McClain was not disciplined by the Raiders or the league following the incident last season.
UPDATE #2: The team just issued this statement:
"The Raiders are well aware of the proceedings in the Alabama courts today. The team will continue to closely monitor the legal process, understanding that when appropriate the NFL will review the situation under its personal conduct policy."
Tapscott's attorney says the video shows Willingham brutally beating Tapscott, after Willingham and McClain insisted Tapscott agree to fight either McClain or Willingham. McClain allegedly directed Willingham to beat up Tapscott.
Tapscott told police who had responded to the call that night that he crawled to his car after the fight, then McClain put a gun to his head while he was lying on the ground.
"The victim reported that he begged McClain not to shoot him," a police news release said, "and that McClain took the gun away from his head, held it next to his ear and fired it."
Tapscott has also filed a civil lawsuit against Willingham and McClain for unspecified damages.

The Red/Yellow/Green Guide to Underwear
- Bianca Monica
Advice from Kempt's resident possessor of two X chromosomes and undergarment authority, Bianca Monica.
My underwear are meticulously folded and organized, in a drawer, by style and color. They're washed separately from everything else. On date nights, I take no chances. I buy new ones. They're chosen after at least an hour of browsing. What number date is this? How many errands am I running today? Is it actually Tuesday?
These are the things my underwear and I think about.
And yet, I sometimes get the feeling that you, gentlemen, aren't putting in that same effort. Even though your entire romantic future may rest on it.
So we put together this Red/Yellow/Green guide on how to approach your drawers.

Less than 24 hours after she held a public hearing yesterday in Brooklyn, US Magistrate Judge Roanne Mann, the redistricting special master, has released her version of the House district lines.
You can find all the supplementary/backup documents here. It's taking a while for things to load as the NY political world wakes up, learns the news and starts madly clicking on the site.
It appears Mann followed the lead of both the Assembly and Senate majorities and eliminated NY-22, the Poughkeepsie-to-Ithaca district of retiring Rep. Maurice Hinchey.
After that, she eliminates Rep. Bob Turner's Queens/Brooklyn district (NY-9), which the Senate GOP wanted to preserve, while creating a non-incumbent district in Queens, much like the Assembly Democrats did – although not with their same lines.
A source who did a quick once-over of the Mann map said it appears Turner's home of Breezy Point- along with the entire Rockaway Peninsula – has been drawn into Rep. Greg Meeks' southern Queens district, which is majority-African American and therefore would be very tough for the freshman white Republican to win.
Mann also appears to have combined the bulk of two Democratic districts represented by Reps. Gary Ackerman (Queens, Nassau County) and Carolyn McCarthy (Nassau County) – as the Senate GOP proposed.
In Western NY, Rep. Brian Higgins seems to have picked up much of Buffalo, making his district more solidly Democratic, while Rep. Kathy Hochul got the Southern Erie County towns and also much of Niaraga County – parts of Rep. Louise Slaughter's old district.
Slaughter, as has been proposed by the Senate and Assembly, would see a more Rochester-centric district under Mann's plan.
Mann had until next Monday to release her lines. The final deadline is March 15. Legislative leaders are still trying to work out a deal with Gov. Andrew Cuomo that would avoid his veto and prevent the court's plan from becoming a reality.

The League of Women Voters of Saratoga, Rensselaer and Columbia counties announced a debate today in conjunction with NewsTalk 590 WROW. The debate, which will also include Libertarian candidate Eric Sundwall, will be held at the Latham Holiday Inn Express. Sherman Baldwin, host of "Afternoon Drive" and WROW program director, will moderate the debate.
The exact date and time have not been decided, but the week of March 23rd is penciled in. The special election is March 31.
The LWV debate will be town hall style. The hotel is not in the 20th Congressional district but it is centrally-located.
Update: Tedisco and Murphy have confirmed they will might (see below) do a Times Union/WMHT debate March 19. The live, televised debate will be hosted by WMHT's Susan Arbetter and TU editor Rex Smith.
Update: Apparently neither debate is a sure thing. Tedisco spokesman Adam Kramer just called to say his candidate is "still discussing" the terms of both debates and has not committed to either. No word from Murphy's camp.

Ignoring civil rights, stifling free speech, spying on innocent citizens, manipulating courts and congresses for the sake of power – these are some of the usual tricks of the trade for hardline governments that fear real democracy while cynically singing its praises. But it takes someone like Europe's "last dictator," Belarus's authoritarian president, Alexander Lukashenko, to show his extremist peers in other countries just how squashing democracy is done.
Lukashenko "won" a third term in a March 19 election that "Western poll monitors said was neither free nor fair." (MosNews)
Immediately after the vote's results were announced, opponents of the Moscow-favored strongman began staging a peaceful protest in October Square, the central plaza of the Belarussian capital of Minsk. By Saturday, nearly 7000 people had gathered in the square to hear pro-democracy speeches, but by then, Lukashenko had had enough, especially when Alexander Kozulin, "one of a handful of candidates who [had] dared [to] oppose" him in the election, "attempted to march with others on a prison where hundreds of people arrested over the past week [were] being held." A spokesman for Kozulin said the opposition politician "had been beaten by the police." (Telegraph)
Belarus's interior ministry coolly confirmed that "citizen A. Kozulin" had been apprehended and detained as a result of his action. Kozulin's wife told Russia's ITAR-TASS news service that he was being kept at an investigation center outside Minsk.
When it became clear that part of the October Square crowd intended to march to the prison, police "in full riot gear arrived by the busload to push [them] back…" as the protesters cried "Shame!" and "Long live Belarus!" Percussion grenades were tossed into the crowd "but government officials later denied the explosions were set off by the police." (Scotsman/Scotland on Sunday and Le Figaro)
The Belarussian pro-democracy organization Charter 97 reports that riot police used weapons "against peaceful people who had taken to [the] streets with flowers, balloons and national flags…. Dozens…were injured…[and]…several hundred hospitalized." Charter 97 notes that the police have not revealed the whereabouts of some 100 protesters who were arrested.
"It was very cruel," a eyewitness of Saturday's clash told Britain's Telegraph. "They kicked people, beat them with clubs." Another eyewitness said: "It was terrifying."
Before the big mêlée, another Lukashenko opponent, Alexander Milinkevich, had told a crowd of several thousand in a park away from the square: "The people have come out today. They have come out in the face of truncheons, in the face of arrests….The more the authorities conduct repression, the closer they bring themselves to their end."
Milinkevich is considered Kozulin's rival; both oppose Lukashenko's dictatorship. In the park, Milinkevich's listeners shouted, "We are not afraid!" Milinkevich declared: "We are starting work against dictatorship, and this work will sooner or later bear its fruit." (Scotsman/Scotland on Sunday) Later, Milinkevich "criticized…Kozulin for leading the move towards the prison and bringing the police into action." He stated: "Kozulin decided to spoil this holiday for the people." (Telegraph) He said he tried to discourage Kozulin from leading the march on the prison and called the action a "provocation." (Le Figaro)
The U.S. and the European Union responded to Lukashenko's vicious crackdown with the usual diplomatic wrist-slapping. The E.U. expressed its "serious concern about the arrest of demonstrators and members of the democratic opposition," and demanded "their immediate release." (Reuters) In Washington, a State Department spokesman "deplored" the "use of force by Belarussian authorities against peaceful demonstrators." (MosNews)
By contrast, in Germany's Die Welt, commentator Manfred Quiring turned up the heat on both the E.U. and on the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which considers Belarus, a former Soviet republic, its political backyard, and backs Lukashenko's authoritarian rule. He wrote: "The E.U. should…seriously ask its 'strategic partner,' Russia," just how serious it is about being part of the community of European nations "when Mosow holds up Lukashenko and his methods as [some kind of] certificate in democracy."

Muay Thai Clinch
On a Muay Clinch you should keep hands on the crown of the head right?
also my instructor was'nt really clear on where my head should be during a clinch, can someone specify?
any other info on the Muay Clinch would also be nice. You know, throws from the clinch, tactics for the clinch, anything clinchy.

pinch your elbows, pull their head into your chest, hands on the crown of their head.
Also, Kid is right. Learn to clinch effectively and swim in and out of the clinch before worrying about everything else.

Snipe: First birds to arrive are true harbingers of spring
Although some consider the sight of a robin to be one of the first signs spring has arrived, my favorite harbinger of spring is a bird that I often hear before I actually can see it circling high overhead. Although it may take a moment of carefully scanning the sky I eventually can locate the bird with its long bill circling high overhead. Its characteristic winnowing sound is a sure sign spring has finally arrived.

This video was recently featured on tangle.
It will blow you out of the water as it reveals the aggressive increase in the Islamic population.
Growing up in a larger than normal family has revealed a lot about what people think about having more than 2 kids. I remember hearing a pastor preach at Brooklyn, who said there was an unwritten rule to having kids:
You can only have 2, unless they are both the same gender. Then you can try again.
This is ridiculous. Look at our history! Our Nation has always supported large families. Scripture reveals that it is Gods plan for a family. Referring to children as "arrows" in our quiver.
You will have a larger impact in this world through your children than you ever will preaching, evangelizing, working, or leading.
If you happen to be one of the many who believe that a family should be kept down to size, stop talking like that. Go ahead and live that way, but don't expect anyone else to kill off our belief system and dwindle our numbers. Stop raising doubts about the financial possibility of a large family. As if God wouldn't support them.
I better not talk about Abortion in this post. I'm saving that one.

"Don't be afraid of a bullet that

assured that it will never harm you.
It is a fact, as any old soldier will
tell you, that you never hear the
bullet which hits you. It is a prob
lom of 'windage,' as the boys in the
army called it. In other words, the
bullet which you hear sing has al
ready spod past you and the bullet
which hits you has hissed in the ear
of some other follow in passing be
fore it got to you. It is a simple
proposition after all. The singing
of the bullet is the atmosphere vi

sistance which the air offers to the
progress of the bullet. This cannot
be detected by the ear until the bul
let has crossed a parallel line with
the ear. It may sail over your head
close to the ground, but if it passes
you at all the ear will catch the
sound of its flight. To the soldier
of many battles the voice of the bull
lot is misic. lio knows that he neod
havo no droad of the bullet that
sings in his ears. It is the bullet
that he doles not hoar that must be

A felt,bat blew off a tourist's heat
last year as he was leaning out of i
railway train window in Sweden. 0
the man himself nothing further i,
known, but the felt hat has becoint
famous all over the north of Europe
An employee of the line picked ul
the hat where it lay, and, being ar
honest man, he tried high and los
to find the owner. Finally, all local
efforts failing, he ticketed it and seni
it to the next station, to be claimed
by its owner. No such person ap
peared, and the hat was sent on from
station to station, an additional ticket
being stuck on each time it set out,
Thus it has run through the whole
of Sweden and Norway, has been at
Upsala and TroLdhjem, at Christiania
andGoteborg and Malmo, has been
sent on to Zealand and Finland and
is now being sont through the north
of Germany, covered with labels, in

What Meer'schauma Really Is,
There is a very general impression in
the minds of smiokers that the meer
schaum part of the pipe, which they
treasure so carefully and take so murch
prIde arid satisfaction in "coloring," is
compressed sea foam. Such, however,
is not tire case. ' e German word
meer'schaumn means in English foam of
the sea, burt its formation has nothing
to do withr the sea. It is a kind of clay,
comes ourt of mines lIke coal and is
founid only in Turkey.

So the data needs to be evaluated with care. Nevertheless, it's clear to me that the general trends apply: some bikes are clearly more stretched out, others less so.

The SL3 is a very desirable frame, I agree, and that crankset is really light.

Sure, the top tube won't be close to my 63cm TT on the Parlee, but one can be stretched out with a longer stem and more setback on the seatpost.

Yet these bikes feel hugely different! For one thing, the front wheel-toe overlap on the track frame is much larger than on the road frame.Alison Chaikenhttps://email@example.com

Sortable Player Projections | Game Predictions Summary | Projections by Team
Prediction: MIA 24, BUF 17
Update: Both Anthony Fasano and Matt Moore are considered questionalbe on the injury report but have been able to pracitce on a limited basis and are expected to play.
This is a rematch of week 11 when the Dolphins won 35-8 and Buffalo still had Fred Jackson. Then again, the Fins had a head coach. Miami is only 1-5 in road games and the Bills are on a six game losing streak.
QUARTERBACK: Matt Moore is expected to play this week after being driven from the Eagles loss due to head and neck injuries. Moore had a "low-grade concussion" but will suit up to face the same team that the passed for three touchdowns on just a month ago. On the road, Moore should find it together to reach that many scores and he only ended with 160 yards in that game.
The Bills are no better here a month later and really worse thanks to an offense that has lost just about all punch. Moore is a low-end fantasy start but should reach a couple of scores.
RUNNING BACKS: Daniel Thomas still plugs away as the short yardage, relief back who never scores and rarely has more than 50 total yards. Thomas gained exactly 50 on 15 runs in the first meeting with the Fins. Reggie Bush ended that game with 32 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries with 34 more yards as a receiver. Bush has been better than that for a month now, topping 100 rush yards in each of the last two weeks.
The Bills are really struggling to score now and that leaves field position issues and bad situations for their own defense. Consider Bush a reasonable start this week who should notch another rushing score but his yardage likely won't get too big. These teams already know each other too well.
WIDE RECEIVERS: The previous meeting with the Bills was a rout and did not need to rely much on the wide receivers. Brandon Marshall had a season worst one catch for five yards. Brian Hartline turned in just one catch for 19 yards and Davone Bess was the leader with only two catches for 25 yards and one touchdown. I like one of the scores to end up with a wideout and Brandon Marshall should see a bigger role this time since three of his last four road games were all over 100 yards each.
Bess and Hartline have never been effective this year but Marshall remains worth a fantasy start if only for some yardage.
TIGHT ENDS: Anthony Fasano has been a marginal player all year and only had one catch over the last two games but he has four scores on the season and one came in the first meeting with the Bills. Add in that Buffalo is ranked 29th against the position with seven scores allowed and Fasano has a nice chance to get another score this week.
Pregame Notes: A season that started with so much promise is ending with just another long string of losses that are getting bigger each week it seems. The loss of Fred Jackson robbed the offense of their only consistently productive player and C.J. Spiller is hardly bringing the defense up close to the line of scrimmage. There is a distinct chance - make it a probability - that the Bills end up with a nine game losing streak and that will probably push the coaches out the door.
RUNNING BACKS: C.J. Spiller is not going to make anyone forget about Fred Jackson though in reality, Jackson is 31 years old and Spiller was supposed to be the future. Apparently the future is not going to be all that bright since he has remained pedestrian in his stats and his workload is slowly decreasing each week while the offense has to pass more. Spiller still has only a minimal role as a receiver.
Back in week 11, Jackson rushed for only 17 yards on seven carries but added 50 yards on five catches while Spiller only gained two yards on three carries. The Dolphins are great against the run and the Bills won't much bother with it this week.
WIDE RECEIVERS: Brad Smith remains more of a gimmick than a receiver and comes off a game with five targets and no receptions. Steve Johnson only managed two catches for 16 yards in the first meeting but has been far better in his other games. Johnson just recorded his first 100 yard game this season in the San Diego loss. Johnson also injured his hand but early reports are that it is a nonfactor and not limiting. David Nelson had just one catch for zero yards in that Miami matchup but has also been far better in virtually every other game. Nelson has scored five times this season while Johnson posted six touchdowns.
This is where the Bills will try to compete and should have more success than in the Miami fiasco if only in trash time. Johnson remains a decent start with a chance for a touchdown. The Fins have allowed eight scores over their six road games. The second score is more likely to end up with Nelson if it happens at all. This is where Chandler could have been at least a minor factor.
TIGHT ENDS: No fantasy value this week with Scott Chandler out with a high ankle sprain that may keep him from playing again this year. Mike Caussin replaces him but is not worth a flyer. Chandler accounted for a team high 71 yards on five catches in the first meeting.

A Secret for Communicators: Love Christ
Interview With Father Raniero Cantalamessa
ROME, May 31, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Though we are in an age of communication, there is growing incommunicability among people, says the preacher of the Pontifical Household.
Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa says that using communication media to evangelize can help resolve the negative aspects related to the communication world. In this interview with ZENIT, he speaks of the problems caused by media and the secret for Catholics trying to help.
Q: What is your perception of mass media today?
Father Cantalamessa: The characteristic of our day and age, its most brilliant achievement and success, is information, in other words, mass communication: the press, cinema, television, Internet, cellphones.
Mass media are the great protagonists of the moment. Anyone can, at any time of day or night, find out what is going on in the world and establish direct contact with someone else at any point of the globe. All this is a sign of great progress and we ought to be grateful to God for the technology which has made it possible. However, there are serious dangers and negative aspects involved in social communications today.
Q; What exactly do you have in mind?
Father Cantalamessa: The means of communication are consumerist, in the sense that they encourage people to consume, and they are consumed and come to an end in themselves. Communication media are exclusively horizontal. People exchange their news items and, since we are ephemeral and transitory beings, news is equally ephemeral. Each item cancels out the previous one.
Along with an increase in communications, there is a growing experience of incommunicability. Communications are limited to sounds, to rumors. Rumors assure us that we are not alone; however, there is a lack of vertical, creative communication, a total absence of others. Communication media become a mirror reflecting the image of human misery and the echo of human emptiness.
In short, modern communication media convey sadness. The media place far more stress on the evil and tragic side of the world than on the good and positive aspects.
Q: What other risks do you see in mass media?
Father Cantalamessa: Mass media set before our eyes, at all times, what we could be and are not, what others do and we do not do. This gives rise to a feeling of resigned frustration and passive acceptance of one's own fate or, on the contrary, to an obsessive urge to struggle out of anonymity and impose oneself on other people.
Another negative feature in mass communication, particularly in show business, is the exploitation of women, the abuse of their bodies and, in general, a negative view of the relationship between the sexes.
Q: Could you describe the characteristics of communications based on the Christian outlook, which could serve to offset the methods and content of today's communication?
Father Cantalamessa: I think the Gospel can help us change this situation. It is the Good News of God's love for mankind. God knows us perfectly well, but he does not use this knowledge to judge us. His correction is love.
I can say, as a Franciscan, that we must contribute to spreading hope and joy. Francis is the man of perfect happiness, God's minstrel — not an illusory happiness, but a happiness based on hope. We have to insist on this ground of faith — deep union with Christ and, particularly, with Christ's cross.
Q: So then, is there any secret to Catholic communications?
Father Cantalamessa: If we want to evangelize through mass media, the secret is quite simple: to be in love with Christ.
