Clean Energy Works Oregon (CEWO) is a non-profit dedicated to saving energy, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and creating green jobs by helping Oregonians make their homes more energy efficient. CEWO connects homeowners with contractors, provides free home energy assessments, and offers no money down financing from its lending partners. Homeowners can get loans for up to $30,000 for upgrades that are repaid over time through their utility bills.
Recognizing that older homes may have problems that should be fixed prior to energy upgrades, CEWO lets participants use a portion of their loans for non-energy improvements such as outdated wiring. As of 2012, over 3000 homes had been upgraded, generating $26 million in economic development, eliminating 5,095 tons of carbon emissions each year and creating 300 jobs. CEWO received $20 million in seed funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Neighborhood Program and worked closely with Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) on program design and implementation.
CEWO uses a High Road Agreement that sets workforce standards and provides incentives to contractors for employing a diverse workforce and for being or contracting with historically underrepresented businesses.

Box Score | Tournament Central
THE FLATS – Freshman Teegan Van Gunst put down 14 kills and senior Jennifer Percy added 10 more as the Georgia Tech volleyball team (2-0) defeated the Chattanooga Mocs (0-2) in three sets (25-17, 25-20, 25-13) in front of a packed O'Keefe Gymnasium.
"I would like to thank our fans and student for coming out tonight," head coach Tonya Johnson said. "It was an incredible environment and we appreciate all their support and hope they come back out on Sunday afternoon."
Teegan Van Gunst added 14 kills to her 11 from the earlier match against Florida A&M and recorded a .444 hitting percentage (14-for-27) to lead Tech. Zoey Morton and Ivona Kolak held things down on the back line with 12 and 11 digs, respectively.
"I thought our kids came out and played a heck of a match tonight," Johnson said. "I thought we competed from beginning to end, and it was nice to see us maintain our poise and be steady throughout the match. I felt like tonight we controlled the tempo of the match."
The Yellow Jackets jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the opening frame behind kills by Quinn Evans and Teegan Van Gunst. Tech did not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the set and pulled ahead 23-11. Chattanooga put together a six-point run, but Tech slammed the door on a kill by Percy.
The Mocs set the tempo to start the second set and strung together a 6-1 run. Georgia Tech pecked away at the lead and eventually tied the score 10-10 on a kill by Evans. A Chattanooga attacking error gave Tech its first lead of the game, 11-10, and a kill courtesy of Kolak put Tech up by two.
Chattanooga worked its way back into the match and knotted the score 19-19, but Georgia Tech countered with four straight points behind the serving of Chanell Clark-Bibbs to pull ahead 22-20 and win the set, 25-20.
The Jackets held Chattanooga to a .043 hitting clip in the third set, while swinging at a .370 mark. Tech worked an evenly balanced attack with three Jackets recording four kills each. Freshman London Ackermann served the Jackets to a 9-2 lead. Tech found its rhythm and ended the set on a five-point run to win the match.
The Jackets wrap up the Georgia Tech Invitational Sunday, Sept. 1 against the College of Charleston. First serve is set for 1 p.m.

A delicious homemade creamy vanilla fudge using only 4 ingredients
Line a tray with a double lining of cling film. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod.
Place all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil then turn down and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until it reaches 118 degrees. A good test if you don't have a sugar thermometer is to drop a small amount into ice water. If it turns into a soft ball its ready.
Remove from the heat and add the vanilla seeds and beat using a spatula for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and is almost completely cool. This will also help it become smooth and glossy.
Transfer to your lined tray and place in the fridge to allow to cool before removing and cutting into squares.
«When you are beating the mixture of the heat you can add any flavour of your choice from nuts to chocolate to Orange zest or even grated crystalised ginger. The left over vanilla pod is great to add to your pot of sugar at home.»

Private debt: some benchmarks for the Spanish case
Debt is a double-edged sword. Used in moderation it increases the well-being of a society since it allows consumers and companies to smooth their consumption and investment when faced with a variable income. However, high and increasing debt is a warranted source of concern: it hinders economic growth and increases vulnerability to potential shocks.
The Spanish economy was in this situation in 2010, the moment when private debt went above 200% of GDP (in consolidated terms).1 Not only was the high level of this debt a cause of concern, far beyond the 133% threshold set as a benchmark by the European Commission in its Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure (MIP),2 but also the speed with which this debt had been accumulated: the flow of credit to the private sector grew at an annual rate equivalent to 18 pps of GDP between 1999 and 2007, above the threshold of 14% established in the MIP.
In 2010 Spanish households and firms embarked on the arduous process of deleveraging and Spain's private debt has fallen by almost 50 pps of GDP in the last five years, the largest reduction registered among European economies (see the graph) except for Luxembourg (–67 pps). Consequently, debt in Spain's private sector, at 154% of GDP in 2015 Q4, is now approaching levels considered to be more sustainable and our forecasts predict it will fall below the 133% threshold within three years.
Other measurements widely used as a benchmark come from economic literature, calculating the level of debt as from which any increase usually has a negative impact on GDP growth. Specifically, a study by the Bank for International Settlements for the private sector of the OECD countries3 concludes that the threshold for corporate debt is 90% of GDP and 85% for households, although it should be noted that the estimate for households is very imprecise. According to these calculations, Spanish firms still have a relatively high level of debt, 15 pps above the threshold while households would be in a healthier situation. Nevertheless it is useful to remember that debt thresholds must be used with caution as they do not take into account the particular features of each country that have a direct effect on their debt capacity, such as the economy's growth potential, the soundness of the banking system and the quality of insolvency procedures, among others.
Another benchmark that has recently come to the fore in the area of economic policy is the ratio of bank credit to GDP in relation to its long-term trend, known as the «credit gap». The macroprudential policy introduced by Basel III uses this measurement as a guide to determine the countercyclical capital buffer required by banks. In Spain, bank credit as a proportion of GDP has fallen by 51.8 pps since the peak of 2010, exceeding the correction historically observed on average after systemic bank crises (33 pps)4 and, at present, is far below its long-term trend. According to estimates by the Bank of Spain, the credit gap is in negative terrain, standing at –57.7% of GDP in 2015 Q3, a figure that is very far from the +2% threshold set as a benchmark to potentially activate the buffer. Nonetheless we should remember that the methodology used overestimates the credit gap after episodes of expansion.
Deleveraging in Spain's private sector has therefore been very intense, both when compared with what other European economies have accomplished over the same period and also historically, in relation to other banking crises. However, unlike the last five years, the debt-to-GDP ratio will fall in the future due to growth in nominal GDP, and credit could start to increase slowly.
1. Non-consolidated private debt reached 218% of GDP while 15 pps corresponded to the debt of non-financial firms with this same institutional sector as counterparty.
2. This threshold is determined based on the third quartile of the annual empirical distribution of the euro area for the period 1995-2007. See «Scoreboard for the surveillance of macroeconomics imbalances», Occasional Papers 92, European Commission, February 2012.
3. See Cecchetti, S. G., Mohanty, M. S. and Zampolli, F. «The real effects of debt», BIS Working Paper, no. 352, September 2011.

Back to Basics with NRG
February 1 @ 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
An event every week that begins at 11:00 AM on Saturday, repeating until February 22, 2020
11am CHA CHA 12pm WALTZ
$10 per class ($5 for ASU students)
No partner required! All levels are welcome
Basics are the building blocks to help a dancer:
– Develop a strong foundation on which to expand your dance skills
– Breakdown the mechanics of proper technique
– Gain a broader understanding of how appropriately use your body to improve your balance, movement, power and grace on the dance floor
Why go "back" to basics?
– Basics are fundamental to everything else you will learn
developing correct "muscle memory" with proper technique allows you the freedom to expand your dance expression and build a broader repertoire on top of it
– The basics are like old best friends – never changing and always there – to support you as you improve, and available to revisit if you need reminding of how you started your relationship with dance
Common misconceptions:
– I don't need basics anymore – I'm beyond that
you are NEVER BEYOND THE BASICS – the highest level dancers in every genre continually focus on basics to ensure their foundation is solid – to avoid injury, to guarantee proper technique, and to have a solid base on which to execute the more difficult, complicated and "show-stopping" movements of an advanced dancer
-Basics are boring…perhaps, for some, but they are essential
if you put the work into learning the basics and learning them well, they will become part of your dancing and you won't have to "think" about them constantly
Basics – if done properly and with style – can be absolutely stunning in their purity and simplicity
I want to learn "fun" moves
"fun" moves are great, but if you don't learn the mechanics of how to be a good leader/follower, how to hold your frame and how to move your body through basic and proper technique, you run the risk of hurting yourself or your partner

Doris (mythology)
This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Doris (/ˈdoʊrɪs/; Δωρίς "bounty"), in Greek mythology, was a sea goddess, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys and wife of Nereus. By Nereus, she is mother to Nerites and the fifty Nereids, including Thetis and Amphitrite.
Doris when not associated with a god, was considered the fertility of the ocean, goddess of the rich fishing-grounds found at the mouths of rivers where fresh water mingled with the brine. Being an Oceanid meant she was a sister of the river gods.
Her name is connected with two words: Dôron meaning "gift" or "abundance," and Zôros, meaning the "pure" and "unmixed." Zôros was often used to describe fresh water or in terms of the teachings of the day, the pure soul of a woman, and from this derived words such as zôrua "the transference of running water" and zôrux "water conduit."[citation needed]
Doris Cove in Antarctica is named after the goddess.[1]

Tempus takes a look inside the former Morocco home of the legendary Yves Saint Laurent
With incredible interiors and sprawling Marjorelle Garden, The YSL Museum is a dreamy design destination
"Marrakech taught me colour," Yves Saint Laurent once said. The late, great couturier would go on to purchase a private residence in the medina and eventually have his ashes scattered there, such was the impact of the Morocco capital on him. For a designer who invented so many things we now take for granted, from tailored trouser suits for women to the concept of black as a colour, it is striking to note the influence of a country he first visited in 1966.
The colour and clamour of Marrakech started to infiltrate his designs, which became decidedly more vibrant as he spent more time in the Moroccan city. Much inspiration came from Jardin Majorelle, an exquisite garden hidden within the hustle of the fabled Red City. Indeed, so struck were Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé with the garden and the adjacent Villa Oasis – previously owned by French painter Jacques Majorelle – that, in 1980, when they heard it was to be sold and replaced by a hotel, they decided to buy it.
While the villa remains private – its interiors are a closely guarded secret – Saint Laurent opened up the gardens to the public, giving others outside his exclusive sphere the chance to experience the magic of the colourful space. As a designer who established his aesthetic via expensive, one-of-a-kind couture pieces, but whose legacy is largely based on mass-produced, ready-to-wear fashion, it's fitting that his approach to the Majorelle estate is the same – the crowning jewel of Villa Oasis remains the experience of a small handful of lucky visitors, but the gardens are inclusive of all.
The grounds are now home to the Musée Yves Saint Laurent which opened in late 2017 with exhibitions on the designer, as well as Jacques Majorelle and Moroccan artists. I first visited Jardin Majorelle five years ago and, falling under the same spell that captured Saint Laurent, have returned four times since. While I have remained captivated by the gardens, I have never been able to enter Villa Oasis... until now, thanks to Four Seasons. >>

The Four Seasons Extraordinary Experiences Collection is a self-coined Invitation to Adventure on behalf of the luxury hotel group, which promises exclusive, customised local experiences at all its properties around the world. In Marrakech, the extraordinary experience is a private tour of the city's best kept-secret, Villa Oasis. I booked my flight.
We were not allowed to take photos or reveal too much about the interior of the villa, but suffice to say it is an architectural masterpiece and one of the most intimate tributes to an icon it is possible to encounter. The outing also included a private tour of the Musée YSL and a leisurely lunch at the hotel with each of the five courses themed around Saint Laurent's designs. It's a considered and compelling package and I'd recommend it wholeheartedly – if you are a serious fashion follower, it's breathtaking.
As the future of luxury becomes more about experience than acquisition, it's this kind exclusive opportunity that will make brands stand out. At its heart, the true meaning of luxury has always been status, whether we like to admit it or not, and the Four Seasons has skilfully recognised that – in the most discreet and elegant way.

Why Google My Business is important for local seo boston?
Does your Boston business have an online presence? If you take a moment to think about your answer you might stumble upon the fact that having a website and all doesn't guarantee your business an online presence and authority for that matter? If yes, then you might already know that seo boston is what makes the difference in terms f driving calls for local businesses. If not, you definitely want to setup an authority site and make sure that you are actually getting some useful leads from it and you know, calls.
About google My Business and how it helps search engine optimization
One important move when setting up your online marketing campaign is claiming your own Google My Business page. A lot of businesses out there stop at a beautiful web designer and some initial content that has not been updated a couple of decades. As your business website sits on a server somewhere picking up dust, your competition may be getting hundreds to thousands of customers weekly from use of SEO tools like Google My Business.
So what can you do with Google My Business to get ahead in terms of useful leads? Well, there is simply too much to tweak your SEO you can derive from your app. You realize that a majority of customers now flood website seeking solutions and search engines are under immense pressure to deliver. To get relevant results Google has been moving towards localized searches in order to provide meaningful results to users. Depending on your current location, search results will change up to even a block apart.
Getting on top three of search results for local searches can mean some really serious traffic translating to sales and profit for your business in a big way. In fact the first move most certified SEO agencies will do with your SEO upgrade project s measure the amount of traffic to your site. Also with Google My Business, there are similar analytics which can be done. And here the target is getting in that top 3 pack on the maps so that you can receive meaningful traffic from your Google My Business. Most times when local businesses rank top 3 on the platform, they are more likely to receive more traffic from Google My Business that even their own business website.
Getting started with seo boston
To begin, business owners need to secure their Google My Business page and if they don't already own a website, Google will help set up a simple website that they can use to drive some organic traffic too. If you are not sure how to do this and wants professional help from expert web design and seo Boston company It's important in the initial stages to fill in all the question in the best way possible. Leaving blanks could mean that your new site is not optimized well enough and each of those questions is worth the hustle of hitting the keyboard when it means ranking higher.
Again stuffing of keywords in the business name and description does not help as Google has a way of filtering out such easily. Just use your real business name and if it does contain a keyword that's brilliant but it is not safe trying to stuff it in there. Another important detail is to ensure that your Google My Business details tally nicely with what you have provided on your business website if you have one.
You can think of your Google My Business page as a tool for ranking your website and vice versa. Actually, having an authority website compels Google to give you a better Google My Business rank. The most important thing is to ensure that what you have on both pages adds up nicely so that there are no discrepancies whatsoever or you risk getting flagged. From the name, the address and telephone numbers etc., it's an important part of the overall NAP of your online presence and business.

PORTLAND, OREGON – The West Coast League, which recently unveiled a new team for Victoria in 2013, has announced today that another new franchise will be awarded to Medford, Oregon. League president Ken Wilson made the announcement at Harry & David Field in Medford.
The West Coast League is a summer wood-bat college league with nine teams located in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. It provides one of the best opportunities anywhere in North America for a college player. The WCL began play in 2005, and recently added a tenth team in Victoria, British Columbia, which will begin play in 2013.
"We're excited to include Medford in the West Coast League," said Wilson. "Our teams provide a great atmosphere for top amateur baseball players, and we've had some outstanding young players from the Medford area play in our league."
The team will be owned by CSH International, Inc., and will become the eleventh member of the league. "The West Coast League has solid team owners, and we feel the league is a perfect fit for CSH and Medford," said Gary Gelinas, President of CSH International, Inc. "We look forward to working with the city to create a long-term lease for use of Harry & David Field, and to run a community-based first class operation."
The awarding of the team is contingent upon CSH International, Inc. securing a lease for Harry & David Field from the City of Medford, and completion of a fund-raising drive to add additional stadium seating.
The West Coast League has worked closely with the Medford Youth Baseball Society (MYBS), the current operators of Harry & David Field, and the Southern Oregon RiverDawgs to provide a team that will bring affordable family entertainment to Southern Oregon.
"The West Coast League has proven that there is no better summer collegiate baseball to be played anywhere," said Steve Jensen, President of the RiverDawgs. "We are proud to help bring such a prestigious league to Southern Oregon, and the local baseball community will benefit from this move."
Gary Miller, President of MYBS, stated, "The West Coast League is committed to being an active part of the community. Not only will the new team promote amateur baseball in the community, it plans to work with schools and non-profit organizations to help them do the great work they do in the community."
The owners of the new team have pledged a $250,000 matching gift. If successfully matched by the community, it will complete the seating at Harry & David Field. Through the generous committment of KOGAP, MYBS is on the way to reaching its matching goal. KOGAP has committed $65,000 in material and labor.
Season tickets for the yet to be named team may be reserved with a refundable $25 deposit.
The West Coast League is The Diamond Standard of summer wood-bat collegiate baseball. Based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, the league is a developing ground for aspiring pros and provides an affordable, wholesome, family-oriented entertainment alternative for its member communities. The nine-team league extends from Kelowna, British Columbia to Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Eggnog or hot chocolate?
Absolutely Hot Chocolate! I love hot chocolate, and now that I have a lactose free recipe, I can make it as often as I'd like! I love putting peppermint in it to add a little extra zing to it!
Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
ALWAYS wraps them. I actually never realized until a few years ago that some people got unwrapped Santa gifts. Ours were always wrapped and under the tree, in the stockings, and on the fireplace.
Colored lights on tree/house or white?
White goes on the main tree and colored lights goes on the "kids" Christmas tree (the tree with all our old ornaments and things we made growing up). Colored lights are acceptable outside, as are white:)
Do you hang mistletoe?
When do you hang your decorations up?
The weekend before Thanksgiving. That way, when I return home after visiting my parents for Thanksgiving, it's all decorated. I don't turn on the lights until after Thanksgiving.
What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
This is difficult. I REALLY look forward to creamed onions at Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. And this amazing strawberry jello with strawberry chunks in it. I only eat these two foods at Thanksgiving and Christmas, so they're special.
Favorite holiday memory as a child?
I have so many fantastic Christmas memories from growing up that it is really hard to choose. We weren't allowed to make any noise on Christmas morning until 8 am, so my cousins and I woke up early and played card games quietly in our rooms. The anticipation was so high, and when we were finally told we could come downstairs, it was amazing:)
What is on your Christmas wish list?
Amazon Gift card to buy a few books as I think of them throughout the year. That way I don't have to feel the pressure of coming up with books on the spot!
Do you open up gifts on Christmas Eve?
Don't even get me started on this one:) We do NOT open our gifts on Christmas Eve and I don't think that I ever will open them on the 24th. Growing up, we were allowed to open up one gift on Christmas Eve.
How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
At my house my tree is pretty simple. White lights with differed colored balls. Simple but beautiful! At my parents house, we decorate the "kids tree" with our favorite ornaments, and the various things we made at school growing up. It's fun to look back at old crafts and school pictures attached to ornaments.
Snow? Love it or dread it?
I love the snow, but really dislike the cold. I would like snow from December 1-January 20th or so, and then I'm pretty much over it.
Real tree or fake tree?
I have a fake tree right now because I don't actually spend Christmas at my place. My parents have always had a real tree, but the "kids tree" is also a fake one. I love the smell of fresh pine trees!
Do you remember your favorite gift?
I definitely don't have a single "favorite gift" that I've gotten. One year I really wanted a blanket from one of my favorite places, and asked my mom for it every day from October until mid December. I still use that blanket on a daily basis, and it reminds me of so many fantastic memories from growing up. It's a sentimental and practical gift all in one.
What's the most important thing about Christmas for you?
Amidst all of the parties, gifts, and celebrations, I remember that we are celebrating the birth of Jesus. It's also important for me to spend time with my family.
What is your favorite holiday dessert?
This is a tough one because we don't have one traditional holiday dessert. I love the Christmas cookies that we make each year though!
What is your favorite tradition?
Last year was the first Christmas that we did something different, so we're a little bit trying to create some new traditions right now. Every Christmas Eve we go to church, then drive around to look at Christmas lights, and then come home and eat cake (it's Jesus' birthday, remember?), read the Night Before Christmas, and Luke 2. On Christmas day we try to drag out the gift opening all day. We slowly open gifts, talk, play games, and go on a walk throughout the day. The entire day is spent together as a family.
What tops your tree?
An angel that we've had since before I was born.
Do you prefer giving or receiving?
Buying gifts for people makes me really anxious, unless I know that the person has asked for that specific item. I've never enjoyed buying gifts, but it's not because of the time it takes or the money spent. I just get nervous. However, if I know someone has wanted that item, then I love giving gifts! I like getting gifts, but part of me always feels a little bad about the entire thing.
What is your favorite Christmas song?
I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day- I linked it here so you can check it out. I'm all about a good story behind the song, and this song has a fantastic story. Until a few years ago, however, it was either O Holy Night or The First Noel.
Candy canes, yuck or yum?
I really like the fruity candy canes. I don't normally go out of my way to eat a plain peppermint candy cane, but I do love putting them in hot chocolate.
Favorite Christmas movie?
Another tough one, because I try to watch so many every year. I really love It's A Wonderful Life. I think the concept of us reaching out and touching more people then we realize it a fantastic idea, and one that we generally don't think about. It's interesting to think what life would really be like for our loved ones if we hadn't ever been born.
What do you leave for Santa?
Nothing now. Growing up it was always milk and cookies.
Do you have a Christmas morning tradition?
oops! I already answered this. We had to sit quietly in our rooms until 8 am, so we played card games and whispered excitedly amongst all the cousins. We would then line up on the stairs and take pictures, and could hear the Christmas music playing downstairs. We would then all run downstairs into the living room and grab out stockings!
Do you prefer to shop on-line or at the mall?
Christmas letter or Christmas card?
I know sometimes the Christmas letter can be a brag fest, but whether it is informative, bragging, or completely ridiculous, I LOVE the Christmas letter. I love reading them!
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays, and it's certainly interesting to see how traditions change as we get older and as the family make-up changes. I've packed in at least one Christmas movie a week, and listen to Christmas music many times a day. Basically, I just love Christmas, and I love watching movies at night with the fire going, Christmas lights on, and my family around me.
Now it's your turn!
Answer one or some of these questions! What's your favorite holiday tradition?

One day not too long ago, while cleaning out a closet for a garage sale, a gem was discovered in the very depths of said closet. It was a lacrosse tee from the late '80s or early '90s. It featured a hand-drawn player and some wild colors. And we knew we were being called to recreate it...

Getting dinner on the table quickly doesn't have to involve running through a fast food drive-thru or even grabbing a pre-cooked chicken at your typical grocery outlet. With the use of a pressure cooker, you can cook chicken breasts in just 8 minutes if fresh or 10 minutes from frozen state. Here are a few ideas to get you started, so you'll always have chicken breast recipes on hand that your family will love. In each case, lay boneless chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of the pot and add one cup broth. Choose from one of the suggestions below, or use your own imagination to create something special.
- Lemon Chicken – Add lemon slices, 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves, and a half teaspoon each of garlic powder and smoked paprika, and red chili flakes to taste. If you like it extra lemony, use additional lemon juice and zest.
- Italian Chicken – Add 1 or 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, a few leaves of fresh basil or a tablespoon of your favorite basil pesto. Once chicken is done, you can add some cream to the broth and thicken with a bit of corn starch, if a creamy sauce is desired.
- Pineapple Chicken – Substitute pineapple juice for the broth or use half of each. Add a couple cloves of minced garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Pineapple chunks can also be added for additional flavor.
- Tarragon Chicken – Add a couple cloves of minced or sliced garlic and a teaspoon of dried tarragon, along with salt and pepper to taste. Diced onion, carrots, and celery make nice additions to this dish.
- Curry Chicken – Cut up one pound of chicken breasts into bite-size pieces before putting into the pressure cooker. Add 3 tablespoons of curry powder (mild or hot, depending on your taste), one can of coconut milk instead of the broth, one can of pineapple chunks, one small diced onion, one tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, one small red bell pepper cut into pieces, and salt and pepper to taste. You should reduce time to 5 minutes, since the chicken is cut up and won't need as long to cook.
You can't go wrong with hardly any combination of vegetables, spices, and herbs. Experiment with marinades and seasonings to find your family's favorite. The key to a delicious meal is getting quality chicken breasts that will stay juicy and delicious when cooked in a pressure cooker. Get your freshest chicken breasts here at The Butcher's Market, and we are confident your family will love the results. We also offer a variety of seasonings and marinades that can help you create your own unique chicken breast recipes.

2019 has been such an amazing year for our Competitive teams. We wanted to spend some time and share with you all some of the things our teams have been able to accomplish over the last few months. If you have any special moments you wanted to highlight with us, please post your favorite moments on social media and don't forget to use the hashtag #ThisIsEastside! Enjoy!
During the Presidents Cup, we had a total of 8 teams compete; 6 Eastside Timbers teams (Boys) and 2 Eastside Thorns FC teams (girls). Half of the teams that competed advanced to the knockout stages of the competition. We even had two of our Eastside Timbers teams from the same age group advance to the knockout stages and compete against one another.
The G04 Red II team faced a lot of adversity in the competition after battling some quality opponents throughout each stage of their Cup run. The girls dug deep and showed a tremendous amount of heart and grit. The girls battled their way to the Finals of the President's Cup, but wound up falling short in a penalty shootout that would ultimately decide the winner. It was a successful run from our girls and we couldn't be more proud of their performances they had throughout the 2019 season.
Our B02 Black team entered the competition as the reigning Champs from the 2018 season. The road back to the Final was not going to be easy. In the group stage, the boys came out on top as the #1 seed, despite being placed in a tough group. In the first round of the knockout stage, the B02 Black team faced off against our very own Eastside Timbers B02 Black II team at the Eastside Timbers Sports Complex. The club derby match was filled with several highlights from both squads, but the ultimately, the B02 Black team came out on top after 90 minutes.
After a massive 7-1 victory in the Semifinal, the boys advanced to the Finals of the competition to face-off against another familiar foe. The boys faced off against Rogue United FC, a team that our boys faced off against in the finals of the 2018 Presidents Cup and a team that the B02 Black team competed against in the group stage of this years 2019 competition. Despite playing a man down during the final, Coach Rex & our boys found a way to get a result and take home their 2nd consecutive President's Cup title after a narrow 2-1 victory. All the hard work that the boys put in over the season paid off once again and we are looking forward to the future and seeing this team compete on the next stage.
This year, we had 15 teams represent our club at the OYSA State Cup competition; 8 Eastside Timbers teams and 7 Eastside Thorns FC teams. It is hard to cover every single team's successful run, but there are a few things we wanted to highlight from this year's State Cup!
Out of the 15 teams that competed, we had 6 teams that entered the knockout stages of the competition by being sealing #1 seed in their respective groups: B08, B07, B03, B02, G04 & G02 Red teams. The G07, B06, & B01 Red teams also advanced by earning a second-place finish from the group stages. Of the 9 teams that entered the knockout stages, 8 teams advanced to at least the semifinals of State Cup. Our club was tied for 1st with teams represented at the Semifinal's stage of the competition.
Of the 8 teams that competed in the Semifinals, 3 teams advanced to the State Cup Finals; G04, B03, and G02 Red teams. Coach Joey Leonetti and the B03 Red team entered the State Cup Final with a ton of momentum. The boys had the best goal differential in their age group when they exited the group stage and had just come off an emotional penalty shootout victory in their Semifinal matchup. The boys were motivated and came out and dominated the first half of the Final and grabbed an early goal to take a 1-0 lead heading into halftime. In the second half, the opposition picked up their intensity, but the boys weathered the storm and seized the moment as they took home their first State Cup title as a group. The boys rose above the adversity and we are proud of what they've been able to accomplish this Cup season!
The G02 Red team were on fire heading into their State Cup Final. In the previous 4 matches of the competition, the girls had scored a total of 19 goals, including a whopping 5 goal victory in the Semifinals. However, the girls were facing off against the defending State Champions from 2018 and the team that eliminated them the previous State Cup. This was always going to be a tough matchup, but the team knew that this was going to be their best opportunity to capitalize. After an intense and action-packed matchup, the teams entered a penalty shootout after regulation and overtime couldn't decide a winner. In the tense moments of the penalty shootout, Goalkeeper Emma Carstens was number 6 in the shooting order. Emma stepped up to the spot and buried her penalty. Emma followed up her goal with a fantastic' walk-off save off the post that helped Coach Sharla Topaum and the G02 Red squad to their first State Cup Title as a team! The team showed a tremendous amount of resiliency and we are glad to see all of their hard work pay off this Cup season!
The final team that entered the State Cup Final was the G04 Red team. The G04 Red squad were the reigning back-to-back State Cup Champions, but the girls were eager to get themselves a third consecutive title. After a convincing 5-0 win in the first round of the knockout stage, the girls had a rollercoaster of a game in the semifinals. The girls wound up coming from behind late and sealing a 3-2 victory to send them to the Finals. In the Finals, the girls faced off against the team they sent home in the knockout stages of the 2018 last season. This was always bound to be an intense Final's matchup. After a heated contest and solid performances from both teams, the G04 Red team came away with an exciting 4-3 victory, giving them their 3rd consecutive State Cup Title! This team has so much talent and it is a joy to watch them compete, regardless of what stage they are playing on. Successfully completing a State Cup run is difficult to do, but to do it 3 years in a row is next level. Couldn't be more proud of this team!
This Summer, the Far West Regional & Presidents Cup Championships will be held in Boise, Idaho & Norco, California. We will have 4 teams representing our club at these competitions.
At the Far West Presidents Cup, Coach Rex and our Eastside Timbers B02 Black team will be competing June 11th-16th in Norco, California. The B02 Black squad is the reigning back-to-back Oregon Presidents Cup Champion and earlier this year, the boys also traveled down to Arizona and took home the 2019 Presidents Day Tournament title! The boys have put together some excellent team performances this year and we are excited to see them compete at the next stage!
At the Far West Regional Championships, we will have 3 teams representing our club. Coach Sharla Topaum and the G02 Red team will be venturing to Boise for the first time as State Cup Champions. The girls are ready for the challenge and are excited to compete at the next level. The girls have been training hard over the last few weeks and look ready to make their mark at Regionals.
Coach Joey Leonetti and the B03 Red team are also traveling to Boise after achieving their 1st State Cup title as a team. Coach Glenn Rogers, who will be taking over the team for the Fall season, will also be accompanying the team to Boise. This will be a great challenge for the team and we are excited to see how the boys respond to the next level!
For the G04 Red team, this is familiar territory. The G04 Red team are the three-time State Cup Champions and this will be their 3rd consecutive trip to the Far West Regional Championships. The girls missed out on the knockout stages last year by 1 point, but the girls will look to capitalize on this opportunity to advance and hopefully compete in the knockout stages & beyond. We are looking forward to seeing this team compete!
This concludes our 2019 Cup season recap! If you have any special moments you would like to share with us, please post your favorite moments using the hashtag #ThisIsEastside! You can also reach out to us using the email email@example.com. Go Eastside!!!
After an eventful week in Boise, the G04, B03, & G02 Red teams have returned home from USYS Regionals. All three teams showcased their talents well against some top competition, and it was a tremendous experience for our players, teams, and coaches.
The G02 Red team came home with a 1-2 record as they competed against some top teams from Cal-South, Colorado, and Idaho. The girls played well in all three matches, but the team really came together in their final game when they won in a thrilling match 5-3 against U17G Inferno from Idaho. The girls strung together several exciting moments together and we are excited to share some of those moments in the near future. Stay tuned!
The B03 Red group came home with a 1-1-1 record as they competed against teams from Arizona, Idaho, & Utah. The boys played with an exhilarating amount of pace and the tempo was high for every match. The highlight performance came against Boise Timbers PA when the boys unleashed their offensive firepower and came away with a massive 4-1 victory to keep them in contention of advancing. The boys put together some fantastic highlights, and we will be sharing some of those highlights in the near future. Well done boys!
The third and final team from our club to compete at regionals was the G04 Red team who came away with a 2-1 record against teams from Hawaii, Alaska, & Colorado. The girls narrowly missed out on the knockout stages as they were edged out by a head-to-head result against Hawaii from their opening matchup. Despite the tough start, the girls played fantastic in their final two matchups and put themselves in the best position to advance to the next stage. The girls ended their campaign with a big 4-1 victory against a team Colorado. We will be sharing some highlights of the 04s in the future as well, so don't forget to follow our social media platforms below!
We are fortunate and thankful for the opportunity for our boys and girls to compete on such a big stage in front of our fans and several college coaches from around the country. This was a great experience for our teams and our players are motivated now more than ever to make a return next season to compete on this grand stage. When you get the chance, please follow us on our social media platforms, and don't forget to post your favorite moments from regionals using the hashtag #ThisIsEastside!

Well, he's John Francis Daley's writing partner, for one thing. And they have all these neat new projects going. And…oh, wait, here's a guy who can tell it even better:
Lasting Laughs
by Lewis Rice
Sometimes attorneys face a precedent that makes it challenging to succeed. Jonathan Goldstein '95 knows this well. In his case, the precedent was more than 30 years old but still held great influence among people he was trying to persuade. His strategy? Well, it was pretty much what he tries to do in every case.
Be funny.
Over the summer, Goldstein made his directorial debut with the movie "Vacation," a sequel to the popular 1983 comedy "National Lampoon's Vacation." The new film, which he co-wrote and co-directed with his longtime writing partner, John Francis Daley, marks the most high-profile effort yet for Goldstein, who began writing comedy, initially for TV and later for films, shortly after his HLS graduation. For "Vacation," he wanted to make a movie that stood on its own yet was respectful of the original version for the many people who have fond memories of the Griswolds' misadventures on a family trip.
"It's a lot of pressure. We knew that going in," said Goldstein. "For a lot of the audience, they come in wanting to hate it. You're so nostalgic about something from your youth and you love it so much, you feel like, 'This can only be worse.'"
But he approached the assignment—including directing established stars like Ed Helms and Christina Applegate, and the stars of the original version, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo—with the confidence that propelled him to Hollywood in the first place. He had always loved comedy, having grown up devouring Monty Python, Woody Allen and the Marx Brothers. Yet he had no idea how to channel that interest into a career. Instead, he went to Harvard Law, which was like a life insurance policy, he said—a way to acquire a marketable skill.
That seemed to work out when he got a job with a six-figure salary at a large New York law firm. But he soon realized that his interest lay elsewhere, particularly when he heard that his friend Ted Cohen '95, with whom he had written humorous columns for The Harvard Law Record, had landed a writing gig on the hit TV show "Friends." So Goldstein quit his job in 1998 and ventured to Los Angeles, where he read scripts for agencies for around $400 a week with no benefits….

|Saturday, August 12, 2017
|8:00PM (Doors Open 7:00PM)
9 Wallis (see map & parking)
9 Wallis Street
Beverly, MA 01915AIR CONDITIONED Venue Details
|RESERVED SEATS (ALL AGES) $23.50, $28.50 (All Seats $35 @ door)
NYC veteran songwriter Cliff Eberhardt brings his literate, Cole Porter meets Tom Waits pop/blues songwriting and dynamic performance to Beverly, MA for one night only with special guest and Nashville native/Americana songwriter Louise Mosrie. The two songwriters collaborate on each other's sets with Eberhardt playing guitar and dobro and Mosrie on background vocals.
Don't miss this dynamic show full of laughter and passionate, heartfelt songs at the most intimate, elegant listening room on Boston's North Shore.
Eberhardt got his start in music in the 70's and 80's under the tutelage of mentors Tom Paxton, Odetta and Richie Havens in Greenwich Village's legendary music venues like The Bottom Line, The Lonestar and Kenny's Castaways. While learning his craft, he was hired by jingle houses in NYC to sing national campaign jingles such as "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevy as well as jingles for McDonalds and Coca-Cola. He also won a local Emmy award for his theme song for NYC's CBS affiliate.
Cliff Eberhardt was soon signed to Windham Hill Records and released his epic first original album in the 90s. "The Long Road" features a title cut duet with the late folk icon Richie Havens. Eberhardt went on to produce 9 more albums on Shanachie and Red House Records to critical success as well as accumulating multiple song cuts by other notable artists like Richie Havens, Shawn Colvin, Buffy St. Marie, Erasure, Russ Taff and Cry Cry Cry (Dar Williams, Richard Shindell & Lucy Kaplansky). His latest project is "Shrew Songs" – written and performed in the 2012 Folger Theatre's award-winning production of "The Taming of the Shrew". He is also well known as a songwriting teacher, producer and arranger.
Louise Mosrie got her start by taking top honors at the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriting contest and then went on to win or place at several other festival competitions including Telluride Bluegrass, Rocky Mtn. Folks Fest and Falcon Ridge Folk Fest. Her album, "Home", debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ charts in January 2010. Her latest album, "Lay It Down", was arranged and produced by Cliff Eberhardt and landed on several "Best of" radio lists in 2014. She continues to tour widely as a solo artist and also with Eberhardt.
About 17 miles north of Boston, award-winning 9 Wallis is a gorgeous, fully restored, historic location conveniently situated in the heart of Downtown Beverly's Arts District at 9 Wallis Street, right next to the Larcom Theatre -- less than half a mile from the Beverly Depot rail station and 3 miles from Route 128, with plenty of nearby parking (see map).
In April 2017, after 4 years of presenting over a hundred shows at Beverly's Larcom Theatre (featuring Grammy-winners, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and platinum recording artist), gimmeLIVE's owners Peter and Vickie Van Ness, transformed 9 Wallis into the most intimate, elegant, fully air conditioned listening room north of Boston with comfortable seating at tables, plus food & beverage service offering fine wines, local craft beers, specialty cocktails (featuring local distilleries and all-natural juices) and top-shelf spirits.
In August 2018, Peter and Vickie were presented with the Boston Blues Society's Keeping the Blues Alive Award for their work at 9 Wallis.
Because of its beautifully restored, tremendously flexible space with the best dance floor on Boston's North Shore, 9 Wallis has become a favorite venue for fundraisers, private parties and corporate events. Local charities have raised thousands of dollars at 9 Wallis (see examples). With world-class entertainment, an event can begin as a cocktail party or fully seated dinner...then transform into a nightclub-style dance party with concert quality sound and stage lighting.
CLICK HERE if you'd like someone to contact you about raising money for your charity. CLICK HERE if you want to book a party or corporate event.
Many new shows will be announced soon. Click here to join gimmeLIVE's FREE Concert Club and email list. You'll get special deals and prime seats before tickets go on sale to the public.
There is plenty of nearby parking at 7 lots from 150 feet away to 3 blocks away. Lots are 25 Cents/Hour (see map). Street parking is more. All parking is FREE after 8pm and on Sundays.

"Drunk Mode" Phone App Helps Student Drinkers Stay Safe? Does This Send The Wrong Message?
Written by WinGate Therapy, in Section Parent Resources
A new mobile app called Drunk Mode is causing many parents of troubled teens and young adults to be alarmed because they feel this app encourages irresponsible behavior. Those who developed the app say it will save lives by informing a person when they are too intoxicated to drive. So, is the "drunk mode ap" something parents should be concerned with or is it simply a tool that can be used to curb the dangers of drunk driving and other risky behaviors associated with drinking?
People on both sides of the coin have been weighing in and controversy continues to surround the app, causing many to be concerned that students will increase their alcohol use which can be problematic for those with a history of addiction.
The creators of drunk mode are two former university students who initially created the app to prevent students from calling their friends while they are drunk. Initially, there was never a thought for using the app for safety reasons. The video below reveals the original purpose for the use of "Drunk Mode".
However, with over 900,000 downloads, this app is creating quite a stir - and the intended use has changed. [1] Since the developers have changed their initial focus, the app is now being touted as a safe way for students to go out and have fun without worrying about the consequences of drinking.
The app even offers a date rape addition that helps people be aware of their surroundings and where there friends are at. It sounds beneficial right?
Parody Video Depicting the Negative Truth (Intention) of "Drunk Mode Ap"
Seriously, can this phone ap be good for our young people?
Though this app is meant for college students, it is heavily being used by underage drinkers who now think they are safe from the dangers of alcohol. So, where does one draw the line between a simple safety app and one that encourages drinking?
Just because an app says it makes drinking safer certainly does not mean it lives up to its promises. In fact, this app may simply encourage more adolescents to be irresponsible because they feel they have the app to "protect" them.
Unfortunately, underage drinking is on the rise with around 35.1% of teens admitting they have had at least one drink by the age of fifteen. [2] Teens do not have the mental fortitude to understand the dire risks they are placing their lives in.
While this app promises to make drinking safer, it appears to have failed in the eyes of most parents who worry about their troubled teens drinking, hanging out with the wrong crowd, and becoming an alcoholic.
Since drinking can lead to car accidents and violent behaviors, it is crucial parents stay involved and inform their teen of the dangers of alcohol. [3]
Parents who have learned their troubled teen is abusing alcohol or drugs can receive help through Wingate. We are a wilderness therapy program that allows teens to receive the therapy they need. Unlike rehab, our program offers lasting sobriety results. Visit our site at https://www.wingatewildernesstherapy.com to learn more. We are here to provide parents with answers.

Epsom's class track master Jessie Knight believes her sensational women's 400m victory at müller Indoor Grand Prix World Athletics Indoor Tour in Glasgow last Saturday can inspire her pupils at Danetree Primary School to take up the sport, writes Ziad Chaudry.
The 25-year-old toppled current world indoor tour leader from Holland Lisanne De Witte, Poland's European champion Justyna Swiety-Ersetic and 2014 Commonwealth Games Stephenie Ann McPherson to clock 51.57 in front of a sold out Emirate Arena crowd.
And Knight's gamble when she took control of proceedings after 150m eventually paid off.
"I had four world finalists in that race and I didn't even make the world's last year!," she said.
"All week I've been pretty nervous when the start lists came out because they are great girls so I literately just thought lets see what happens.
"I got to the break first and that wasn't the plan so I just went for it and prowled. I've always hear athletes say the crowd got me round I've never experienced for myself.
"I said to myself I'll not lose this race so I feel quite emotional. I don't think it sunk in, it's been a real hard graft."
Good old Miss Knight will definitely be getting a huge cheer from her colleagues and pupils when she resumes teaching duties at the Epsom-based school.
"I always show them my races but they are never on BBC usually," Knight continued. "They were all were watching so they must have been so excited.
"I just honestly hope I can inspire the kids because school has changed my life. I just want to encourage as many children as possible to start athletics and to enjoy it."
Last Saturday's performance has very much given Knight plenty to go for in the forthcoming outdoor season. Qualifying for European Championships in Paris, France is a must and so now is Tokyo Olympics.
"My aim this season has been Europeans," Knight explains. "I've always had on the back of my mind the Olympics - who knows. But now I want it, I really want it. If it doesn't happen it doesn't matter but it's within my reach if I can keep going. It's very exciting times to come."
Meanwhile Knight goes back to Glasgow this weekend where she will be attempting to capture the British Indoor women's 400m mantle.
"I've got the British championships is weekend and then I think I just need to calm down and get back to do some hard work at Sutton Arena athletics track."

FDA requests more data on "Low T"
NEW YORK – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is asking companies for more safety data on testosterone drugs after a patient broke out in hives during a mid-stage trial.
According to Reuters, the FDA is becoming more cautious with testosterone drugs since it discovered a large percentage of patients didn't get their hormone levels tested before or during treatment.
Reuters reports the FDA requested data on 350 patients exposed to QuickShot Testosterone, a drug introduced by Antares Pharma Inc. The pharmaceutical company reports it may have to submit more data based on its ongoing late-stage trial.
Antares is currently in the testing phase of QuickShot Testosterone and the government's request for more data could delay its regulatory and marketing applications.

I love the USA very much, seeing it as an historical oasis. America gives its people a uniquely good life; and it lit the torch that has illuminated the way to freedom for so many others.
But I do not see the American people as "us" and the rest of the world as "them." I regard all of humanity as my "us." Thus, when it comes, for example, to whether someone in America has a good job, or whether that job goes to someone in India, I don't root for the American. The opportunity and the pay has to be earned, and if the Indian earns it better than the American, then the Indian should get it. And you know what? We are all better off if that's how things work. Because that's economic efficiency. That's how the whole world becomes rich.
Of course, it's utterly mistaken to imagine that one more job in India somehow means one job fewer in America. There is not some limited lump of work to be done in the world, with the only question being how to divvy it up. To the contrary, the work available and needed is a function of human ingenuity and enterprise, which means it is unlimited. Further, the more Indians there are doing productive well-paid work, the more wealth is produced in the world for everyone to share. That Indian can buy more things that other people produce. If he works for an American company, that American company becomes more productive, efficient, and competitive, which means it can hire more Americans too. In fact, studies have shown that overseas outsourcing does not actually result in fewer American jobs. Companies that practice such strategic outsourcing do indeed wind up with larger workforces here in the U.S.

Quite right. I believe that it was John F. Kennedy himself who said that "a rising tide floats all boats". Foreign success is not necessarily the zero-sum game that the irrational pessimists surmise at first glance.
It is certainly necesseary, I feel, however, to maintain a United States advantage in the production of goods and in the world economy, precisely because the United States necessarily serves as a beacon of civility to other nation-states and commercial advantage makes us that much more of a viable voice for our ideals with respect to government. I would not much want the People's Republic of China to be the hands-down world leader, simply because they do not maintain the same standards of such things as human rights.
Truly the United States' competitive edge in commercial respects allows it to become a lighthouse of strength in others!

A statement by the Catholic Bishops of Pennsylvania
Many of the deeply seated values which we Americans share are rooted in our Catholic faith. These values should be reflected in the public discussion and debate that molds the direction of our society. The voice of religion and faith should never be silenced by an increasingly secular culture. Integral to the Constitution of the United States are the inalienable rights and freedoms of each person to speak, to practice one's religion, and to participate in the governance of this country. Unfortunately, in recent times there have been attempts to marginalize religious beliefs and to dismiss any religious values from the public policy debate. This tendency is not reflective of our American heritage. Catholics have a right and a responsibility to participate in the debate on matters affecting the common good, to exercise good citizenship, and to participate in the building of a just society. From the beginning of our country Catholics have exercised responsible citizenship and have been active participants in the political process, as well as have shed their blood to defend this country.
Public policy issues are varied and often complex. Some are relatively simple, such as driving laws or establishing standards for the manufacture of goods. Others relate to human dignity, the protection of basic human rights, and the assurance that freedom of religion will not be eroded. Because laws often have a moral and ethical dimension, the natural moral law and Gospel values foundational to our Catholic faith have a role to play in the fashioning of public policy.
In establishing his Church, Christ gave to the apostles and their successors the responsibility of speaking on behalf of faith and morals and applying that teaching to the circumstances of our day. Thus it is our task as bishops to articulate the values rooted in our Catholic faith as they apply to public policy today.
At times, individuals or organizations argue that Gospel values, and therefore those who articulate them, have no role in the public arena and should not participate in public policy issues. As shepherds of God's people, it is the right and responsibility of the Church's leaders to guide and form consciences of their people by declaring the Church's position on the rights of workers, access to health care, concern for the poor, and the right to life, the rights of the sick and dying, and the right to be free from government mandates which violate religious beliefs.
This question and answer guide is designed to clarify how the Church acting through Christ's ordained leaders, the bishops, the successors of the apostles, has a responsibility in the shaping of public policy.
What is the Church?
The Church is a community of believers established by Christ "through which he communicates truth and grace to all" (Catechism of the Catholic Church # 771). Christ established the Church to care for human beings and lead them to heaven. Its doctrine is a reflection of Christ's revelation. Christ's teachings on the commandments of God are true and not subject to human approval, human tampering, or majority vote. Since the Church lives in the midst of society, the Church cannot remain indifferent to public policy issues. The Church must be free to speak in the public arena on the important issues of the day since these issues affect the destiny of immortal souls.
The Catholic Church and its people have played an important and influential role throughout the history of the United States. From the very beginning of our country the Church has been in the forefront building up this great nation by providing quality health care, education, social services, and pastoral care, and by lifting millions of immigrants and their descendents out of poverty into the middle class and beyond.
How does the Church participate in civic life?
The Church participates in civic life primarily through the lives of its members – men, women, and children who live out their faith in the course of their daily work, study, leisure, activities, and family life, and through the exercise of their duties of citizenship. Contemporary secular culture presents a challenge for the believer. This is one of the reasons why the Church seeks to inform the faithful on all issues of public concern. By the public proclamation of Christian doctrine, Church leadership offers a unique and valuable perspective on public policy issues which have social and moral consequences.
Each individual Catholic is both a citizen of our nation and a member of the Church. Thus it is in the conscience of each of us individually that the issues of Church and State overlap. We must thus be prepared to bring to our civic life the moral imperatives of our personal conscience. It was Thomas Jefferson who reminded the nation that there is no distinction between public and private morality. In a letter to James Madison, dated August 28, 1789, he wrote: "I know but one code of morality for all, whether acting singly or collectively."
What is the State's responsibility to the Church and its beliefs?
The State is called to safeguard and guarantee the free exercise of the Church's rights – and that of the other religious bodies – without interference, endorsement or sanction. The Church should enjoy the same rights as any other organization, namely to express its beliefs, to teach its members, and to participate actively in public discussions.
How does the Church understand "religious freedom"?
Every human person is created in the image and likeness of God, and so has the duty to seek the truth. Catholic teaching understands religious freedom as one of the fundamental rights of all human persons. In the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "The right to religious liberty is neither a moral license to adhere to error, nor a supposed right to error, but rather a natural right of the human person to civil liberty, i.e. immunity, within just limits, from external constraint in religious matters by political authorities. This natural right ought to be acknowledged in the juridical order of society in such a way that it constitutes a civil right" (CCC # 2108). An essential dimension of this religious freedom is also the right to free association: to found organized communities of faith which are churches and other institutions. In other words, political authorities have a duty to insure the freedom of every person to profess one's faith, to live it, and to hand it on to one's children. Our nation's founders wanted to protect freedom of religion – not legislate freedom from religion.
How does the Church remain faithful to its mission in a pluralistic society?
The Church has a mandate from Christ to witness to the Gospel. The Church gives this witness by ministering to God's people in many ways including education, health care, and social service. The Church also has the responsibility of educating its members in all Catholic doctrine, including its social teaching, shedding light on the moral dimensions of public policy initiatives, and calling forth works of charity and justice. Freedom for the Church and its institutions to carry out core teachings on human life, marriage, justice, and the common good must be respected by civil law and public officials. When the Church or other religious groups have the freedom to follow their mission, our society's respect for tolerance, pluralism, and diversity is upheld.
How does the Church exercise "faithful citizenship"?
The Church has a history of active participation in serving all people of the community. Consider, for example, the Church's outreach to the poor and marginalized, health care, housing, and education. The Church continues to clarify social and moral issues based on both natural law – the law written in every person's heart – and divinely revealed truth. Few speak today more clearly, consistently, or eloquently for the fundamental issues of justice: life, human dignity, protection of marriage and family, solidarity, and the common good than the Catholic Church. These very concepts reflect the fundamental values of Catholic social teaching.
In applying Gospel values to issues of public policy, the bishops and the Church's agencies need the freedom to speak out. The position of the Church on public policy is made known by the ordained leaders of the Church and reflected by those groups and individuals who speak with a voice consistent with the Church's teaching. The Church's teaching or public policy position is not authentically reflected in groups or individuals, even when they claim to speak in the name of the Church, that assert their own divergent views. Nor is the position of the Church found in public opinion polls which purport to show what members of the Catholic Church think. Such efforts do not represent the Church's public policy positions which are based on God's revelation, his commandments and the Church's theological and moral tradition.
Christ has determined that the Church's bishops are the authoritative teachers of the Catholic Church. They are the ones who communicate the Church's understanding of the basic moral and social justice principles that must guide the application of Catholic teaching to public policy. Voters, politicians, and media should look to the bishops as the official teachers of the Church in determining and evaluating proposed policies in the light of Catholic teaching. Catholic voters, candidates, and elected officials should not need to hide their faith but should embrace the call to be active, faithful citizens bringing to public life the moral values of their faith.
The bishops have written: "We urge our fellow citizens to see beyond party politics, to analyze campaign rhetoric critically, and to choose political leaders according to principle, not party affiliation or self-interest. As bishops, we do not wish to instruct persons on how they should vote by endorsing or opposing candidates. We hope that voters will examine candidates on the full range of issues and on their personal integrity, philosophy, and performance." (The Challenge of Faithful Citizenship)
Does the Church seek to impose its morality? Doesn't that violate the separation of church and state?
The Constitution protects the free exercise of religion, even as it prohibits the establishment of a state-sponsored religion or church. The separation of church and state – so often misunderstood – in no way implies a separation of law from morality nor morality from public life. Some people claim that morality cannot and should not be legislated. This overlooks the important fact that law often makes a moral claim, forbidding some action or requiring another.
How do issues like mandatory insurance coverage for contraception, access to abortion, forced abortion training for medical students, same-sex marriages, etc. violate the fundamental right to religious freedom?
These types of laws and regulations require the Church to sacrifice its integrity – the very core of its beliefs, traditions, and teachings. The imposition of these coercive requirements by the State prohibits in specific areas the ability of the Church to participate in the constitutionally protected free exercise of religion. On a daily basis, the Church embraces its call to care for the sick and elderly, educate the young, protect all human life, foster families, welcome immigrants, and provide support for those who are marginalized. To force the Church to compromise its integrity by imposing regulations that are opposed to its teachings and its very conscience, not only violates the Church's right to be Catholic, but also abrogates our nation's founding principle of religious freedom.
No law should demand that religious institutions compromise their validly held beliefs. It would be outrageous if Mormon shopkeepers were forced to sell liquor, if Hindu chefs were forced to serve steak, if Jews were forbidden to circumcise their male children, or if Quaker pacifists were forced to serve in the military. Any law that made such demands would be justly scorned as a violation of civil rights. Laws that make similar demands of Catholic hospitals, universities, or families are no less repressive. Catholics have the right and the obligation to speak up on these issues.
Our nation will never be totally free until its public policy respects the conscience of all its members.
