Tucker Carlson, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Ted Cruz Photo illustration by Salon/Getty Images The Republican conspiracy theory that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not actually have a dying wish to have the winner of the 2020 election choose her replacement on the U.S. Supreme Court was on display on the Senate floor on Tuesday. "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed," Ginsburg dictated in a statement released by her granddaughter, Clara Spera. Related video: Trump reveals list of potential SCOTUS picks, including Ted Cruz But there's a right-wing conspiracy theory that the quote is not accurate, thus giving Republicans freedom to ignore her wish.
The European Union in a rare show of unity on Thursday said that it won't recognise Alexander Lukashenko as the legitimate leader of Belarus. Mr Lukashenko's landslide victory in August's rigged vote sparked protests that were reignited on Wednesday after Mr Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus for 26 years, held a clandestine swearing-in ceremony. Mr Lukashenko's security forces led a ferocious crackdown on opposition protests in the days following the elections.
People flocked to a Louisville memorial honoring Breonna Taylor, a Black woman who was shot and killed after officers entered her home on a no-knock warrant. On Wednesday, three officers involved in the incident were not indicted in relation to Taylor's death. The decision sparked protests across the state and across the country demanding justice for Taylor.
According to a police report from the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, Suzanne Miller was arrested on a battery charge after confronting a Jensen Beach neighbor over not wearing a mask. The complaint says that the residents of the Oceana Oceanfront building were about to board an elevator from the lobby together. The 71-year-old woman then attempted to physically eject her neighbor from the elevator and "intentionally" strike him on the shoulder, arm and chest with a closed fist.
President Donald Trump's potential nominee to the Supreme Court previously rejecting the idea of former President Barack Obama filling a vacancy during an election year that she said could "dramatically flip the balance of power" in a recently-resurfaced interview. The interview shows Amy Coney Barrett, a federal judge who sits on the Seventh Circuit, discussing the former president's nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016 following the death of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative stalwart. Ms Barrett suggested in the interview with CBS News that she was against the idea of Mr Obama selecting Mr Garland, often considered an apolitical nominee and centrist judge, because he was not a conservative like justice Scalia.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will call on other leaders on Thursday to "build back better" after the coronavirus crisis and commit to net zero emission targets. Addressing the United Nations' climate action roundtable, Johnson will say via videolink that world leaders will have an opportunity to announce new and enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) - their intended reductions in greenhouse gas emissions - at a December summit. Britain will co-host an event with the U.N. on Dec. 12 to mark the five-year anniversary of the Paris Agreement, which committed all countries to work to limit further rises in global temperatures.
US COVID-19 response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx told those close to her that she is "distressed" at the direction of the White House coronavirus task force and is weighing if she will remain with the team, CNN reported Wednesday. The White House coronavirus expert told people close to her that she felt her role was diminished after neuroradiologist Dr. Scott Atlas joined the task force. "The president has found somebody who matches what he wants to believe," a source close to Birx told CNN.
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman are facing life in prison after officials said they lit a police van on fire with a Molotov cocktail at a Black Lives Matter protest in Brooklyn in May. Experts told Insider that the charges are "unprecedented" and "deeply disturbing." Early on the morning of May 30, New York police officers arrested two lawyers during a Black Lives Matter protest.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry Alex Wong/Getty Images The Republican report aimed at raising questions about the dealings of Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in Ukraine appears to have accidentally implicated former Energy Secretary Rick Perry in an energy scheme in the foreign nation, according to the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. Republicans led by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. released their much-hyped report on Hunter Biden's role at the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma on Wednesday.
Iran and Russia's sovereign wealth fund are discussing the joint production of a vaccine against COVID-19, Russian news agencies cited the Iranian ambassador to Moscow as saying on Friday. The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) has said it is in talks with a number of countries about the possibility of producing the Russian 'Sputnik-V' vaccine abroad, and has signed a deal to manufacture 300 million doses in India. "We are holding talks, I spoke with the head of RDIF Kirill Dmitriev, our officials have held several rounds of consultations and we announced that we will co-operate," Iran's Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali was quoted as saying.
The Justice Department is expected to bring an antitrust action against Google in coming weeks, focusing on its dominance in online search and whether it was used to stifle competition and hurt consumers, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press Thursday. The department also is examining Google's online advertising practices, said the person, who could not discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Antitrust officials at the department briefed state attorneys general Thursday on the planned action against Google, seeking support from states across the country that share concerns about Google's conduct.
Voter registration spiked following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Vote.org, a nonprofit that allows people to register through its website, told Business Insider that they had 40,771 new voter registrations on the Saturday and Sunday following Ginsburg's death. After the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last week, voter registration surged according to voting advocacy groups.
The death of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman fatally shot by Louisville police in March, thrust Kentucky's top prosecutor, Attorney General Daniel Cameron, onto a national stage just a few months after he took office. In May, when the Louisville Metro Police Department turned over its files to Cameron as independent special prosecutor, scrutiny immediately began over how the untested attorney general would handle such a high-profile incident after months of public outcry to "arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor" and whether he could satisfy a community cleaved by racial unrest and accusations of police brutality. He ultimately brought the criminal case before a grand jury this week.
A US Electoral Commission chief issued a sharp rebuke against Donald Trump on Wednesday after the president called for mail ballots to be dumped, as he refused to say whether he would leave office in the event of an election defeat to Democrat rival Joe Biden. Ellen Weintraub, Federal Commission Commissioner (FEC), warned the president that America does not simply "get rid" of ballots. In case anyone is unclear on the concept, in the United States of America, we do not 'get rid of' ballots.
Rescuers were trying to save the few remaining long-finned pilot whales still floundering in shallow waters off the Australian coast on Friday in one of the world's biggest mass whale strandings. With time running out for up to 20 breathing mammals still trapped in Macquarie Harbour in Tasmania - and as news emerged of a much larger whale stranded on a Queensland beach - rescuers had managed to save about 94 of the 470-strong pod while almost all the others had died. "We haven't dealt with a stranding of this type before (and) we are getting up to 94 animals released - that is one hell of an effort," said Kris Carlyon, a marine conservation biologist advising the government's response.
Hayat is one of hundreds of Pakistanis who have suffered from China's suppression of Muslims in the Xinjiang territory that is home to about 10 million ethnic Uighurs. Rich in minerals, gas and oil, the vast region is dotted with concentration camps where Chinese authorities have locked up more than a million Uighurs and other Muslim minorities, according to human rights groups, survivors, victims' families and United Nations experts. But increasingly, China's campaign against Uighurs has spilled across its borders, entangling men such as Hayat, a Pakistani garment trader who, with his wife, raised three children while trapped between the politics and ambitions of two countries.
A science educator whose YouTube channel "The Happy Scientist" taught children about science has been indicted on federal child pornography charges. Investigators allege that John Robert Krampf, 64, knowingly received and possessed pornographic content "involving a minor who had not attained 12 years of age," court documents show. Dixie State University Police Chief Blair Barfuss, involved in the case in his capacity as a special agent on the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force, told Insider that Krampf admitted to "downloading multiple files of child abuse material."
Sen. Lindsey Graham on Trump's potential Supreme Court pick and new allegations on Hunter Biden.
The US Postal Service claimed in a court filing Wednesday that it has already taken apart high-speed mail sorting machines and therefore can't put them back into service. The USPS claimed it was "not possible" to restore machines it had "dismantled" for parts, only those that had merely been "disconnected." A federal judge issued an injunction last week requiring the USPS to reverse those and other changes made by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, calling them an "an intentional effort" by Trump and DeJoy "to disrupt and challenge the legitimacy of upcoming local, state, and federal elections."
Britain's Brexit supremo Michael Gove said on Wednesday that he was confident of securing a trade deal with the European Union, while the bloc's chief negotiator said he was determined to clinch an agreement. Prime Minister Boris Johnson plunged Brexit into chaos earlier this month by unveiling, and then pressing ahead with, draft legislation that would undercut parts of the 2020 EU divorce treaty. The EU said it could not trust Britain if it broke international law, explored what legal action it could take and demanded London pull back from the brink.
Lawyers for the U.S. Postal Service argued in court Thursday against accusations that service cuts are slowing down the mail and threatening the integrity of the presidential election. The latest hearing on the issue took place in federal court in Philadelphia, where the attorneys general from six states and the District of Columbia have sued. They argue that on-time delivery dropped sharply in July and has not fully rebounded as the nation battles a pandemic and prepares for an election that could hinge on mail-in ballots.
The victims of sexual abuse in Germany's Catholic Church can apply for compensation payments of up to 50,000 euros from next year, the chairman of the German Bishops' Conference (DBK) said on Thursday. According to a study from 2018 on abuse in the Catholic Church, at least 3,677 minors were victims of sexual violence by at least 1,670 members of the clergy in Germany between 1946 and 2014. In addition, victims can be reimbursed for therapy costs, said DBK Chairman Georg Baetzing.
Donald Trump has claimed the first presidential debate next week will be "unfair." Mr Trump said in a radio interview that veteran moderator Chris Wallace was "controlled by the radical left" and would not ask Joe Biden tough questions. "Chris is good, but I would be willing to bet that he won't ask Biden tough questions," the president told Brian Kilmeade on Fox News Radio.
Three New York transit employees converted a Grand Central Terminal storage room into a secret lounge, according to a Thursday report from the Office of the MTA Inspector General. The Metro-North Railroad suspended all three without pay, but they deny the allegations. Three New York transit workers built a secret underground 'man cave' where they would 'hang out and get drunk,' according to a report issued Thursday by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Office of the Inspector General.
Sharon Osbourne and her son, Jack, were slated to join "The Talk" in person on Monday. Jack Osbourne said on Wednesday that his toddler, who tested positive, only had mild symptoms for three days. Sharon Osbourne, a co-host on "The Talk," was eager to return to work in person this week, and her son, Jack, planned on joining her.
"Enfranchising 16-year-olds would be good for them and good for our democracy."
"At 16, most kids have little awareness of politics, civics, or American history."
"Voting is habit forming...which underscores the importance of having as stable an environment as possible for the youngest voters."
"Keeping the voting age at 18 is not a slap at 16-year-olds. It is recognition that an informed electorate is the best kind."
"When young people's participation lags badly, issues important to them receive short shrift in the public discourse."

Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) at Baltimore Ravens (0-2)
I had the Ravens winning 11 games, the AFC North, and making the playoffs coming into the season, after finishing 3rd in rate of moving the chains differential in 2014. However, they have started the season 0-2. Losing in Denver was understandable, but their loss in Oakland was shocking. Their offense bounced back from an awful game against a tough Denver defense week 1, but the same defense that held the Broncos without a touchdown week 1 couldn't stop the Raiders all game.
You can point to the loss of Terrell Suggs for the season late in the Denver game as a reason, but they still have a very talented defense around him. Losing Suggs (along with Haloti Ngata and Pernell McPhee this off-season) really hurts what was arguably the best front 7 in football last season, but they still have talented players like Elvis Dumervil, Brandon Williams, Timmy Jernigan, CJ Mosley, and Daryl Smith and they have a remade, improved, and healthy secondary behind them. Their defense should be much better than they were against Oakland this season and I still like the Ravens' chances of competing for a playoff spot. They might be 0-2, but they could just as easily be 2-0 with two road wins right now. Besides, 0-2 teams that made the playoffs the year before are 18-9 ATS against the spread week 3 since 2002.
It definitely helps the Ravens that they are back home now, after starting the season with two road games. They are 47-11 at home since the start of the Joe Flacco/John Harbaugh era, outscoring their opponents by an average of 10.33 points per game, as opposed to 35-36 on the road, outscoring their opponents by an average of just 0.97 points per game. They're also 22-12 ATS at home as underdogs or favorites of a touchdown or less over that time period. However, they're also in a bad spot, coming off of two road games to start their season. Teams that have their first home game week 3 tend to be less energized and it shows, as teams in that situation are 22-43 ATS since 1989.
That trend is one of many reasons why I'm actually going against the Ravens this week, despite the fact that they're a much better team at home and despite the fact that I still think this is going to be a playoff team. The Ravens are in an awful spot this week, with a Thursday Night trip to Pittsburgh on deck. The Ravens will try to be 100% focused for this game, given that they're 0-2 and playing a good divisional rival, but it might just not be possible. Teams are 21-56 ATS as divisional home favorites before being divisional road underdogs since 2002. It's one of the most powerful trends out there that makes any sense.
Meanwhile, the Bengals host Kansas City next week in a game in which they will almost definitely be favored. Road underdogs are 104-61 ATS since 2008 before being home favorites when their opponent will next be a home favorite. Combining that trend and the aforementioned trend, teams are 5-26 ATS since 2002 as divisional home favorites before being divisional road underdogs when their opponent will next be home favorites. The fact that the Ravens play on Thursday Night next week makes things even tougher for them, as teams are 41-62 ATS as favorites before Thursday Night Football since 2008.
On top of all of that, it's not like the Ravens are playing a bad team here. Even though this is a home game and the Ravens are a good team, they're no guarantee to bounce back, even before you consider all of those trends I've mentioned. Even if Baltimore ends up making the playoffs, the Bengals are probably still a better team than them. The Bengals actually rank 2nd in rate of moving the chains differential through 2 games.
It's only 2 games, but they finished the 2013 season 3rd in rate of moving the chains differential and now they're finally fully healthy again, after struggling with injuries last season. AJ Green, Marvin Jones, and Tyler Eifert are all healthy after missing significant time with injury last season and, defensively, Geno Atkins seems back to his old dominant self, now two years removed from the torn ACL. The Ravens are the banged up ones, missing not just Terrell Suggs, but also left tackle Eugene Monroe and wide receiver Breshad Perriman. Their depth is awful at both of those positions and their absences have been very noticeable thus far this season. I wish we were getting a field goal with the Bengals, but they're the better team in the much better spot and that should be able to cancel out the fact that the Ravens are a strong home team.
Cincinnati Bengals 24 Baltimore Ravens 17 Upset Pick +115
Pick against the spread: Cincinnati +2.5
Confidence: High

Fresh from a starring role at the Ojai Festival in California, the prodigious multi-instrumentalist and composer Tyshawn Sorey, a developing master of unpredictable complexities, settles down at the cozy Stone in the East Village on Wednesday, July 5, for a five-day residency. In those shows, Mr. Sorey will mostly be on percussion or behind the drum set, though he'll play piano and synthesizer on Friday as part of a quartet that also includes Peter Evans (trumpet), Tim Dahl (bass) and Weasel Walter (drums).
On Saturday, his 36th birthday, he will be joined by John Zorn, the Stone's founder and a pungent saxophonist, for an extended duo. And on Sunday, July 9, Mr. Sorey will play solo, billed to appear on drum set, percussion, piano, trombone and, tantalizingly, "installation," in preparation for a coming recording. (Every evening at 8:30 p.m., thestonenyc.com.)

The Bureau of the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) expressed on Friday, April 28, a vote of no confidence in the President (speaker) of PACE Pedro Agramunt. This was reported in the official report of the PACE, placed at the disposal .
"The President of the Assembly did not appear today at a meeting of the Bureau and has not filed letters of resignation, — said the Chairman of the Bureau and senior Vice President of the PACE Roger Gale. In accordance with the procedure according to which no one can force the speaker to resign, the Bureau took appropriate action".
PACE Bureau is the highest consultative body of the Assembly, who is coordinating the work of the committees, the foreign activities of the PACE and advises its President. The Bureau consists of the President, 20 Vice-presidents, heads of committees and political factions.
A vote of no confidence by the Bureau of PACE means that Agramunt deprived of the right to engage in social activities as PACE President: to negotiate, to pay official visits to make a statement. "The standards and principles of PACE are more important than each individual member," — said Gail.
Agramunt has come under fire at the opening of the PACE spring session on April 24. The reason for this was a trip to Syria with a delegation of European parliamentarians at the invitation of Russian state Duma deputies. During the two-day trip Agramunt met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and visited the base of Russian air force in Hamima.
Subsequently, the PACE President said the trip to Syria was a mistake, but insisted that he made it as a member of the Spanish Senate, not as President of PACE. The Ukrainian delegation to the Assembly insisted on the censure.
"The reason for [this position] is not from our point of view, the situation with his visit to Syria together with the deputies of the state Duma of Russia", — explained in his Facebook a member of the Ukrainian delegation in PACE Alexey Goncharenko. According to him, in connection with the inability to send the speaker a resignation is necessary to "put pressure on him through political groups, performances that at least everyone felt that cooperation with Russia is toxic".
First Vice-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Iryna Gerashchenko said that the Ukrainian delegation demanded changes in the rules and start the procedure of impeachment of the President of the PACE. "What a shame, it happens with everyone who is associated with dictators. Agramont is Putin and Assad, not PACE — that is our position," she added.

Steve Salo is a professional artist based in Geelong, Australia, and represented by Metropolis Gallery. He is best known for his emotive portraiture. To see a Steve Salo portrait is to feel. He's poured his tender heart into it, toiled with the complexities of his mind and expressed his soul with every stroke of the canvas. It can be a painful process and it can be divinely beautiful or somewhere in between. Look closely at a Salo: Is this the artist's truth, the subject's truth or your own truth that you are feeling? Steve is an explorer. In creating his paintings, he has extraordinary patience for working things out. Often it is the imagining of a picture that takes the most time; hours, days or weeks of pondering and unravelling as he sits capsuled in his couch in front of the easel. Then, when ready, the painting flows out of him in an inspired frenzy. Other times he might just add a stroke then return to the couch to review the evolving image and plan his next move. The magic moments are when he touches the canvas and the painting "paints itself". When fire destroyed Steve's Torquay studio in March 2013, taking much of his painting history and all of his materials, all he was able to do was think…and think. When the desire to paint returned, his resourcefulness reached new heights. Using any surface and medium he could find or had given to him by artist friends, it became a time of experimentation. From this was born the Portraits of Artists series, painted mostly with his fingers and palette knife. Exhibited at Metropolis Gallery in March 2014, the show has sold works locally, interstate and as far as Hong Kong and the US. From his new studio in central Geelong.

The "100-city, 100-county and 100-enterprise" survey is a series of large-sized programs initiated by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the CPC to celebrate the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. Among them, the "100-enterprise" survey focuses in-depth research on the typical and representative enterprises in China in order to fully understand the development history and current situation of growth, reform and progress of enterprises in the process of reform and opening up.
This time, NIFD is responsible for survey of 4 enterprises, and MFL, as a representative one in the financial leasing industry, is one of the enterprises to be investigated. The Survey Team enquired in detail about the development history, operation situation, business progress, strategic layout in future and other details of MFL, and gave full affirmation of the achievements made by MFL in the past decade. As for the interview with departments, the heads of MFL's responsible departments respectively detailed the efforts and achievements of MFL to the Survey Team in the aspects of responding the national development strategy and supporting the development of real economy, etc.
As one of the first five bank-backed financial leasing companies, MFL built the core strategic sectors with distinctive features, including aircrafts leasing, ships leasing and vehicles leasing etc in the past decade, and realized effective docking between leasing and real economy, playing a positive role in supporting the development of China's real economy.

The Ballroom is a wonderfully glamorous first-floor property situated within a Grade II listed, 17th century building.
The recently refurbished two-bedroom property is part of Ladymead House, located in the picturesque city of Bath.
The focal feature of the 1,691 sq ft flat is the impressive and spacious former ballroom space, which boasts a 15-ft-high barrelled ceiling, a Romanesque temple and domed ceiling lights.
Sash and circular windows are pretty features that allow natural light to flood the inside space, and Egyptian marble tiled floors cover the apartment and benefit from underfloor heating. Stylish lighting and ornate cornicing are other décor highlights.
The predominant theme throughout the apartment is white, with the floors, walls, ceilings and much of the furniture sporting this colour to great effect. There are splashes of bright colour, however, in the artwork, chairs and ornaments, which make a dramatic contrast with the all-white background.
The kitchen is modern and bright, and there is a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a hidden upper level that offers further bedroom space.
As well as a living space, the home offers work environment possibilities – the ballroom is currently used as a photography studio and private gallery by the current owner.
Great storage is a helpful addition to the property, with the large loft providing copious space.
A modern communal entrance hall and lift lead up to the apartment. And outside there is a large shared garden which runs down to the banks of the River Avon, where local otters may be spotted. Fruit trees and flower beds decorate the grounds.
This property is available for £850,000 through Savills.

Review: Eight Below
Summer is a time to stay home & catch up with pictures in Zee Studio/HBO/SonyMax. Been revising everything from Troy to The Shawshank Redemption.
So it was great to watch Antarctica in the film in 41 deg celcius searing heat of Chennai. The city has not had loadshedding thankfully – so if we have survived May it means we can pull along. 2 years back we used to have summer powercut of 1 or 2 hours everyday in scorching heat. Before that for 10 years we went without almost nil loadshedding.
I didn't know you needed a tourist guide even in Antarctica! Our hero is the guide and he boasts of a train of sledge dogs that look lovely!
True story of the heroic tale of a man getting back to the polar ice shelf to rescue a pack of dogs that were so dear to him! Absolutely amazing! And entirely worth saving. Other life forms are no less important – I wish all humans come to see the great truth.
The guide helps a scientist on a mission find a meteorite with his dog sled driven by 7-8 dogs but soon a storm is brewing. The scientist loses his footing and almost sinks into a crevice breaking thin ice, but the brave she-dog Maya helps him out. Then the whole antarctic expedition human team fly out leaving the dog team behind in worsening weather. Its impossible for them to go back any sooner in inclement climatic conditions to save the dogs.
The tour guide who is very close to the animals feels guilty. He eventually finds a way to fly to Antarctica in the next spring to rescue his dogs. Its announced in the screen here, the dogs – most of them – are on their own, having survived some 175 days in hostile polar cold desert against all odds. The beauty is, they still are waiting for their master to return which is so heartwarming.
The reunion brings tears to your eyes. Dogs – not just dogs – also all other living creatures, have sense of hunger, pain everything. Those like dogs and elephants are even capable of emotion and long term memory.
One of the loveliest films I have seen. Antarctic pictures are my favourites, seen many over years. But this is special.
What an effort has gone into the making of the picture, awesome! Kudos to the cameramen, the director everyone. Its a tough one to shoot and must have been expensive as well. Its endearing they did it for the sake of the dogs – hats off! Salute the loyal foot soldiers – the sledge dogs Maya and Max and others from the picture – they did it for you lovelies! The beasts put cunning humans to shame.
Antarctica is beautiful! Lucky scientists and the expedition crews!

Coastal Erosion Law Goes into Effect This Month
Lori Townsend, APRN – Anchorage
A new law affecting funding for coastal erosion and storm damage protection efforts went into effect this month. In 2009, Congress repealed a previous version of the law, known as section 117. That law provided federal funding at 100 percent of the cost for planning, design and construction of erosion mitigation and storm protection efforts. The new law, section 116 will dramatically change the funding formula, requiring local and state matching funds at 50 percent for project planning and 35 percent for design and construction.
He says a baseline assessment of coastal communities found 178 villages had some level of erosion and 26 have urgent and compelling needs. The Corp has $5.5 million to work on projects in nine communities but no money beyond that yet.
Newtok Continues Moving Process
Shane Iverson, KYUK – Bethel
The village of Newtok is facing one of the biggest erosion problems in the state. And the community is getting help moving to a new site from the Alaska National Guard and other military units. It's the second season for the work, which allows the military to help the community while gaining some valuable training.
Corporations Concerned About New Government Contracting Rule
Annie Feidt, APRN – Anchorage
"Chilling affect" was a phrase heard over and over again at a conference on 8A contracting that wrapped up Thursday in downtown Anchorage. Under the small business administration's 8a law, Alaska Native Corporations have been able to go after no bid government contracts worth millions of dollars. But the corporations are worried about a new rule that will require government contracting officers to provide justification for no bid contracts over $20 million.
Angoon Searches for Economic Solutions
Ed Schoenfeld, CoastAlaska – Juneau
The Southeast Alaska community of Angoon is trying to turn its economy around. The largely Tlingit village of about 450 residents has lost business, as well as some of its population. The Angoon Community Association, the town's tribal government, convened an economic summit earlier this month to search for solutions.
Woman Found Dead in Tent
Associated Press
Anchorage police are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in a tent. Police said the body of 39-year-old Betsy Chuitt of Anchorage was found early Wednesday after her boyfriend, Christopher Lokanin, reported they had been sleeping after consuming alcohol.
Assembly Passes Homeless Camp Removal Ordinance
Len Anderson, KSKA – Anchorage
By a nearly unanimous vote last night, the Anchorage Assembly approved a new ordinance for removing illegal homeless campsites and confiscating campers' property. But the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska says the law, as passed, is unconstitutional and they'll fight it.
In April, ACLU-Alaska filed suit against the municipality in Superior Court. The organization charged the city's 12-hour ordinance and lack of true legal protest against seizure and property destruction was unconstitutional. The city attorney's office proposed five days. ACLU wanted 10 business days.
Willow Creek Fire Spews Smoke
Dan Bross, KUAC – Fairbanks
A wildfire about 10 miles south of Fairbanks is getting the attention of fire mangers and local residents. The Willow Creek Fire is on the other side of the Tanana River from town on military land, but it's putting up a lot of smoke.
Visitors Experience Alaska Totem Carving
Len Anderson, KSKA – Anchorage
A longstanding hallmark of the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage is that visitors are treated to culture "in action." That's just as true this summer, as a special project involving southeast Alaska totem carvers gets underway.

When we operate on the internet, there are 2 basic questions about security. First is 'are we dealing with the correct person?'. The Second one 'is the communication channel being safe and free from eavesdropping?'. The question of dealing with the correct person is, therefore, part of endpoint security. Similarly, The security of the communication channel is the job of channel security. Endpoint and channel security are 2 types of security. Likewise, In the case of site users, authentication identifies the correct person. Similarly, the channel's security is about encryption.
(See Also: Authentication and Encryption)
The technique of asymmetric key encryption rules the web security landscape. The Public and Private Keys authenticates as well as helps in encrypting. Likewise, The server authenticates itself to the user via a thing called certificates. Similarly, The public key helps to establish a secure channel. the public key distributed in the same certificate. TLS (transport layer security) protocol handles the secure communication channel. The SSL (secure socket layer) certificate identifies the server*. The server is identified by a chain of trust.
PS: These certificates are famously called as SSL certificates. These certificates don't specify protocol to use nor any server policy. The certificate's main aim is to identify the server. Currently
1. The Chain of Trust: One of the types of security
In this model of trust, There is one God whom we all trust. He then appoints authorities who do the disbursement of certificates to server owners. The Root Certifying Authority (in short Root CA) is trusted by default. Every operating system has a mechanism to trust these Root CA's. The program called root program builds this. The OS ships Root CA's Certificate. This establishes trust. Most Importantly, Root CA certificates are self-signed. The non-internet based distribution and self-signing are the 2 hallmarks of root CA. Misuse is impossible with this Certificate. Since the Private Key is not available, its impossible to generate fake certificates*. The public key only verifies the signature.
PS: If CA is hacked, then this private key can be exploited. Also weak crypto algorithms for generating public and private keys can compromise too.
1.1 The flow of Trust
The Root CA appoints Intermediate CA's to issue certificates to server owners. The Root CA signs the Intermediate CA's certificates with his Private Key. The signing establishes trust. Hence we can say Intermediate CA's enjoys the trust of Root CA's. Since the Root CA is signing the certificate, there is no need to preload the certificate into OS to establish trust. The public key verifies the signature.
The Intermediate CA will then sign the certificate of the site owner. The site owner will get a certificate once he proves his ownership of the site. The Certificate Signing Request proves ownership to Intermediate CA. Most Importantly, CSR can be generated only if there is root access to the server. The site owner also hosts the certificate of his Intermediate CA. Consequently, hosting of owner's and Intermediate CA's certificate establishes this chain of trust. The public key only verifies and doesn't sign, it establishes chain up to root.
1.2 An alternative model
This chain of trust model is one of the types of security for endpoints. The other model is of Web of Trust model. This model puts the people at the center. PGP is the biggest user of this model. In the WoT model, the user will decide on whom to trust. SSL doesn't use this WoT model, instead uses the CoT model.
PGP is my default download checking habit. My computer has certificates of all the trusted developers. Whenever I download software, the download's signature and dev's certificate is matched. If this fails, I will be looking suspiciously at the ruling elite. Luckily, that hasn't happened until now.
2. Channel Security:
This is the second one of the 2 types of security. Design aim of this is to prevent eavesdropping. The TLS protocol uses the certificates during the handshake to establish a secure communication channel. The public key encrypts the initial message. The server then uses its private key to decrypt the message. The connection parameters are all mentioned in that message. The connection is established based on that. The handshake process also negotiates the symmetric key (Its used for message encryption/decryption).
The TLS protocol works in the transport layer. The main job is to provide an encrypted communication channel between both the endpoints. This works on the top of TCP. It takes the message from application layer protocols. It then encrypts messages for transmission by TCP. TCP then gives this encrypted message to the client. Client's TLS implementation decrypts the message. The application layer protocol will then receive the message.
As mentioned in previous sections, the security of crypto matters most. The SSL came in 1995. Then TLS 1.0 which was an improvement over SSL 3.0 came in 1999. The latest TLS version is 1.3. But most sites support 1.2. Due to weak cryptos in TLS 1.0 and 1.1, they have been depreciated.
If you are a site owner, the security of site endpoint and connection is important. Without the ends and connection secured, a hacker can easily unleash a MitM attack. The TLS ensures secrecy of communications. Hence enable at least 1.2 version of it. Older TLS versions are not safe anymore.
To prevent protocol downgrade attacks, enforce HSTS and min TLS version policy. Also, don't have HTTP version of the site, nor listen on port 80 in your server. Remember HTTP sites and TLS 1.1 support are the clear way to get a penalty in Google Rankings. Only HTTPS connections have fast loading protocols like SPDY(now discontinued by Google) and HTTP 2 support. Lets Encrypt and Cloudflare provide free certificates. At least, use it to secure the site. It's easy to inject malicious code on insecure connections in MitM scenarios.
If your site is not heavily trafficked, then enable DNSSEC too. The DNSSEC signs the domain records. This signing aids the recursive resolver. The signing will prevent cache poisoning attacks. This veil of secrecy is what gives the best experience to users as there is trust established in every step of the process.

Trai moots Rs 50 million entry fee for convergence licence
MUMBAI: Cable TV operators will have much to cheer with this recommendation from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai). The broadcast and telecom regulator has suggested a much lower levy of Rs 50 million as entry fee for national and international long distance licence (NLD/ILD) in the converged scenario.
Trai had earlier suggested Rs 1.07 billion, making it expensive for cable operators to move into telephony services. "If the government approves Trai's recommendation, it will particularly benefit us as we are planning to enter into the triple play area," says Siticable CEO Jagjit Kohli. Siticable, a leading multi-system operator (MSO), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zee Telefilms.
While asking the government to approve its unified licensing recommendations at the earliest, Trai also said in a release today that there should be reduction in the entry fee to reflect the changes made in the entry fee for NLD/ILD licence. "The entry fee should come down to Rs 50 million as against Rs 1.07 billion recommended earlier and this should further reduce to Rs 300,000 after five years as already recommended," it said.
In order to promote convergence and competition in broadcasting and telecommunications, the regulator has called for the clearance of the Communications Convergence Bill, 2001, albeit with some modifications. "There should be converged regulatory regime. The starting point for this exercise should be the Communications Convergence Bill, 2001. However, several changes need to be made in this Bill. Content regulation should be kept out of the purview of the converged regulator. The division of powers between the Government, TDSAT and TRAI should also broadly correspond to what is presently the position," Trai said, releasing the recommendations on convergence.
"Convergence of technologies is rapidly blurring the boundaries between telecommunications and broadcasting. It is necessary for the legal and regulatory framework to adapt to this convergence and actively promote such convergence. This would also help in facilitating competition," the regulator said.

The IPAB is a 15-member panel of healthcare experts. The healthcare law gives Boehner and McConnell three recommendations each, and another three to each of their Democratic counterparts. All 15 board members would have to be confirmed by the Senate.
Once in place, the IPAB would make targeted cuts in Medicare's payments to doctors and other providers if the program's overall spending grows faster than a certain rate. The board is not allowed to alter Medicare benefits or "ration" care.
"These reduced payments will force providers to stop seeing Medicare patients, the same way an increased number of doctors have stopped taking Medicaid patients. This will lead to access problems, waiting lists and denied care for seniors," Boehner and McConnell wrote.
Obama has not yet nominated anyone to the IPAB.
The panel was supposed to come into existence in 2014, but Medicare spending has not grown slowly enough that the IPAB would not be triggered next year.

I recently read the following blog post from a literary agent: http://bookendslitagency.blogspot.com/2009/06/more-thoughts-on-re-pitching-agents.html Among other things, she said: "I've always taught that if you have made significant changes to your book for one reason or another you should definitely consider re-pitching agents. " However, she added that she often worries about how pleased many aspiring authors are to hear this particular suggestion. She went on to say:
"I will tell you right now, if you don't learn to move on, to write the next book and query the next book and write and query the next book after that you will never be published.
No agent and no publisher wants an author for only one book, and if you spend years reworking and re-pitching that same book you're not making yourself a very marketable or publishable author." (emphasis added)
Even though I groaned when I read this last part (after all, it's HARD work to write just ONE book), it does make sense. People in general are accustomed to perceiving their goals in a "gonna fly now-Rocky" context of the one prize fight, the one hit song, or the one blockbuster novel that will propel them to the top of their field. Very few people contemplate the sustained effort it takes to create a body of work.
So, what does this mean to me? It means that after I finish the first draft of my novel, I'll set it aside for a while and write some short stories that I can enter into writing competitions. And then I'll start my second novel after I finish revising the first one. Onward and forward.
In most contexts, it's not good to depend upon one thing. This has been noted throughout the ages. As Baltasar Gracian said in his 1637 book, The Art of Worldly Wisdom:
"Double Your Resources. You thereby double your life. One must not depend on one thing or trust to only one resource, however preeminent. Everything should be kept double, especially the causes of success, of favor, or of esteem. . . Thus as nature gives us in duplicate the most important of our limbs and those most exposed to risk, so art should deal with the qualities on which we depend for success." The Art of Worldly Wisdom, pg. 54.

WATCH: Truck Casually Pours Fresh Cement Onto Police Car In Marsa Traffic
A police patrol vehicle driving towards Raħal Ġdid through Marsa was partly covered in fresh concrete mix after a nearby truck began to make it rain.
While it is unknown when the video was exactly taken, or how the officers remained so chill, we do know that it sure was lucky that the guy in the left seat had his window up.
After spraying the passenger door for a few moments, the police do let out a bit of their sirens, but the concrete was already setting by then. Eventually, someone comes around and just looks at the concrete, wondering if he will get arrested or if they'll just drive away.
And drive away they did, without any incident. N.W.A. would be proud.

ObamaCare – An Interesting Perspective
Opinions and Perspectives on ObamaCare
I just had to share this Photo:
Have you taken any time to research Obama Care?
Someone recently shared the following image with me, and I am still laughing about it. Whether you agree with his viewpoint or not… it's still LMBO Funny.
Everyone has an opinion on ObamaCare. The legislation that bears our Presidents name… but few take their opinion to such an extreme as the person who must have invested a good deal of Resources an Time in his project to show the world how he feels… see the Picture Below:
I find it particularly amusing that this vehicle is being towed on a trailer… as if it could not even run under it's own power.

A Social Seed Network Review of the Film 'Courage'
Short film review by Pastor Charlie:
I recently had the privilege of sharing a private screening of the film 'Courage' due to my relationship with some of the people involved in production and acting in this fantastic short film. Directed by Mark X. Zhen, 'Courage" is based on True Events that occurred in a typical American community, neighborhood and school.
'Courage' is a true revelation of social dysfunction and lack of community awareness in modern America. It is a close-to-home reality check for middle class citizens of all ages and a reminder that "man is not an island unto himself".
Without hidden agenda or activism, this film successfully captures your attention and your heart, while simultaneously introducing you to the heart-wrenching under-belly of an American sub-culture.

Barstow Plumber – Drip, Drip, Drip…
Drip, Drip, Drip… that Leaky Faucet!
That common faucet Drip is not only a nuisance that keeps you awake at night… it's an Indication of more expensive repairs to come.
Most of us have endured the constant Drip, Drip, Drip of a leaky faucet… and aside from the noise and rust or mineral deposits that build up in the sink or tub… we have a tendency to try and ignore the problem. After all… it's Only a worn out seal or washer, isn't it?
While it's true that most faucet drips can be quick and simple repairs when they first start dripping, ignoring a drippy valve can eventually cause permanent damage to the internal structure of a valve seat. Considering the skyrocketing prices of modern faucets, it makes Dollars and Sense to maintain your plumbing investments.
You see, over time, a little drip of water can cause a lot of damage. A lot more damage than most of us realize.
While "water always tends to follow the path of least resistance", like slowly slipping past a worn or damaged seal, it's also causing more and more damage with each drip… first to the seal, then on to more important internal faucet structures. We have to remember that we are dealing with one of nature's strongest forces. Barstow water is especially damaging because we are dealing with Water under Pressure and water with a lot of Minerals that slowly sand-blast the internal structure of even the best made faucets!
If the water slipping past a worn seal meets any resistance along its path through the metallic internal parts of your faucet, it can cause grooves and channels to form in the valve seat or stem. It takes diligence and persistence to change a worn seal each time it starts leaking. The pressure and chemical content of Bartow's water makes it necessary for me to consistently replace worn or damaged seals. However, if I procrastinate, I am always amazed by the amount of damage that can occur in a relatively short time. I also find that when I procrastinate, I generally have to replace a "Grooved" valve seat in my home water faucets on a regular basis. That's right… the pressurized Water slowly cuts a groove that can be 1/16" to 1/8" deep, right through the metal in a valve seat, no matter if it is brass or stainless steel… or totally destroy the thin metal portion of a valve stem.
You may have also noticed a build-up of mineral deposits on a dripping faucet. If left unattended, these deposits can easily eat their way through a faucets nozzle structure, leaving no Choice but Total Replacement of the Entire Faucet. I don't know about you, but there are better things I like to spend my money on, rather than total faucet replacement.
That constant Drip, Drip, Drip is a reminder to inspect and change damaged seals and washers before more extensive and expensive damage begins to occur. Most people can find and follow instructions for changing a leaky faucet seal on the Web. However, if you have a Drip that you have been ignoring, and you do not have the tools or the know-how to do it yourself… I would suggest calling an expert plumber to solve the problem… before a more expensive solution is necessary.
If you live in the Barstow, Ca. or High Desert area (including Newberry Springs, Daggett, Fort Irwin, Hinkley, Helendale or Victorville & the Victor Valley), may I suggest Tommy T's Plumbing Solutions. They are true professionals with all the right equipment to repair any plumbing problem. I have personally called upon them many times, for Fast, Economical Plumbing Solutions, and I have never been disappointed or kept waiting. Plumbing problems are almost always Emergency situations… and Tommy T's Plumbing Solutions are only a phone call away.

Use very Specific and Unique Keywords and Tags that describe your

EWCF Review Update: Beware of Wolfs in Sheep's Clothing
Don't Buy Effortless Web Cash Formula from Scams and Frauds…
Buy Effortless Web Cash Formula from me and get 3 Bonus Items that you can't get from the Scams and Frauds out there….
Review & Report update for EWCF (Effortless Web Cash Formula) – Perfect (No Scam) Simple System for Newbie (beginner) Internet Marketers
I was recently checking the search engines to see what my rankings were… I could not believe that there were people who had stolen my Unique Content from my Blog and posted it on their own blog as if it were theirs. And their page was ranked higher than mine… At first I was Furious… But I remembered God's promise that thieves will never prosper. And I will trust God to ensure that those Scams and Frauds will Not Prosper. Those who Gain at the expense of others are like Partridges that sit on another birds eggs until they hatch.
Aside from that, I also have 3 Bonus Items that I offer to you when you buy Effortless Web Cash Formula from me. And these are Items that nobody can Scam or Fraud from me or you. So go ahead and read my Honest and Legitimate reviews and see the Extra Value that I am Offering you with Pastor Charlie's Twiche Marketing Method. You will learn How to use Twitter to Market and Advertise EWCF for FREE… No Safelists, No Expensive Advertising, Just a Simple way sell EWCF to people who are actually really interested.
There, Now that I have ranted… go ahead and read the Review and Report Below and see the Extra Value you get when you buy EWCF from me…
I have been using the EWCF for a few weeks now… and it has turned out to be a good opportunity… so I wanted to share some information on this system for those of you who are looking into various systems and affiliate programs in order to earn Extra Online Cash, a 2nd Income (or a New Full-Time Career). When you are just starting out as an Internet or Affiliate Marketer, it is extremely difficult to sift through all of the Internet systems, Affiliate Programs and the shear volume of information that is available Online, in order to find the very best opportunities to get involved in. This is where I try to help my sub-affiliates and Affiliate-Bivocation members, by providing Honest Reviews and Reports about Internet Opportunities.
A person could spend years researching and trying the multitude of systems and programs that are continuously bombarding your email account. I am currently testing and researching three paid systems that seem to have the right ingredients for me to be willing to write a good review for them. Since I have been at this game for a few years and I know what to look for in an Internet opportunity, I am more than willing to share my experiences with other Online marketers… Especially those who are new to Internet and Affiliate marketing. So far… EWCF is whipping the butts off most other opportunities. There are a couple of reasons for this, which I will cover in this review.
To be Brutally Honest… most Online programs are not necessarily Scams. And there are vast resources and programs for Free affiliate opportunities that have great "Potential" for making extra income (but you need to know how to market them… How to find a Niche and How to Find Free Advertising). The reason that so many systems and opportunities get labeled as Scams, is either the complexity of the opportunity, the utter useless and outdated amounts of information provided with each opportunity, or the inability of a program to offer Step-by-Step direction for New Marketers to duplicate the system. Most affiliate programs are geared toward people who already have (at least some) experience in promoting other people's products and services. Many new marketers will either Give-up or move on to another program because they do not Earn any Substantial Income from the opportunity… So that many would-be marketers will often consider themselves to be a failure… but the failure is Not Their Fault… an element of failure is often built into many systems, so that you can be Convinced to continue buying more and more of their products… each one promising the Success that has been so elusive to you, until you have the next. "can't do without", product. Most of the systems I review for my members are perfectly legitimate, and many paid programs offer a great value for your money, but they are quite often perceived to be too complex or too advanced for most beginners. This is where EWCF (the Effortless Web Cash Formula) excels above most Online 2nd Income Opportunities for beginners…
I have checked out quite a few of the newest programs and systems that are being promoted on the Web, but quite frankly, I would not suggest them to any of my sub-affiliates. This is mostly due to the complexity or incompleteness of any given program that I had researched. I always keep an eye peeled for New Opportunities that spring up because they can provide you with an easy way to earn some fast income, and they always have lower competition than the older systems.
Here is a quick Social Media Tip for you: Social Media can provide a quick and painless method for doing quick research on emerging opportunities. Especially Twitter! Watch for Trends and see what other marketers are promoting on Twitter… You can often catch a good opportunity soon after it has been hatched and when competition is low for the new program. Then you can simply join a Free Affiliate Program or find a cheap Internet System… Write a few Blog posts, place a few Free Ads and most of all, share your promotion with interested parties on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc… for a quick influx of working capitol.
I originally got involved with the Effortless Web Cash Formula on the advice of a fellow marketer. I was explaining the sudden drop I was experiencing in Satellite for VMC Satellite (My Dish Biz affiliate program) through the months of July through August, and that I was concerned for my many sub-affiliates because their sales had also taken a sudden drop and how I wanted to find an easy way for them to continue earning Online commissions… at least until the economy came back to life. That is when my friend suggested that I have a look at the Effortless Web Cash Formula (It pays to have friends you can turn to in any business, but it is Vital for Online Marketing). Anyway… She simply referred me to the Free E Book and told me to consider it as an option.
As I began to research the program, I was blown-away by the simplicity of the system, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a "Complete" marketing program. "This system will be a perfect object lesson for my members and sub-affiliates" is the first thing I thought. It is a great little system on it's own merits, but if you pay close attention to the marketing methods that are used with this system, you will also be given a Complete Lesson as to How a Proper Online Biz should be operated. The EWCF is an extremely simple system that delivers %100 percent Cash Profit, directly to your PayPal account without the usual, lack of detail and hidden trade-offs that many systems leave you hanging with. I would go into greater detail about this system, but it is just as easy for you to Read the FREE E Book and see what it's all about.
My time is limited today, so I will just tell you this; I give the Effortless Web Cash Formula a Giant Two Thumbs Up! And I highly recommend it to Beginning and Intermediate Marketers I recommend EWCF for the following reasons…
- Extremely Simple System – You can have your own Cash Making Web site up and running within a couple of hours (the 4 steps only take a few minutes if you already have a business PayPal account)
- Very Affordable – Almost anyone can start an incredible Online Biz with minimal up-front cost
- Comes complete with traditional Free Marketing Methods that you can easily implement
- Comes with over $100 worth of Free Bonus Gifts
- Runs on semi-automatic once you have your promotions in place
- and Much, Much More…
And here are the Biggest Reasons that I have found this system to be so good… The reasons that Nobody should let this opportunity Slip Away…. or… Why you Should Buy This System…
- It delivers Immediate Cash, Directly into Your PayPal Account
- It provides Fast Cash-Flow while you are building your Primary Online Biz (you may already be building an Online business with MyDishBiz or other affiliate programs, but it always takes "Time" to build any business to the level of Profit- or You need a Stop-Gap system to provide an influx of Cash during the economic crisis- or You need a greater understanding of How to Make your current Online Biz more Profitable)
- This system is a genuine business expense and therefor it is Tax Deductible
"No way to lose… I earned back my small investment, plus a tidy Profit, on the first day I started promoting it"
- It provides you with a "Perfect Model" to Follow in building your Online Dream Biz
- It affords you a Peek at the Power of Simple Viral Marketing Methods
If you plan on being a Full-Time Internet or Affiliate Marketer, this system will definitely show you Exactly What Steps to Take to Build a Profitable Online Business. If you bought this system for no other reason, you would buy it for the Extremely Valuable Lessons it can Teach You about Online Marketing, and Step-by-Step How to… Build a Long-Term Online Biz. I don't know about you, but I always learn my best lessons by experience, and I think most people learn the same way I do. Not many people can read marketing theory and immediately know how to apply it. This is a great opportunity to Earn While you Learn. This program also offers great support, should you get stuck trying to build your promotions.
I have grown very fond of this simple system for the lessons it has taught me in viral marketing… I have taken those basic methods and applied them to Social Media, where Viral marketing can Really Thrive… Namely on Twitter… So, I have put together a package to offer to all of my members and sub-affiliates, who are presently learning Social Media marketing methods. I call it 'Pastor Charlie's Twiche Marketing Method' (the "Twiche stands for Twitter Niche"). I have combined EWCF with the Five Buck Twitter Trick in order to provide you with an optimum platform upon which to promote the E Book and your Online Business. I am also offering FREE Business Profile Listings with your Free Membership to The Social Seed Biz Network, which is our Social Media, 2nd Income Resource and Training Site. Use your Profile, which comes complete with Social Media capabilities such as; The ability to Custom Design your Business or Ministry Profile and Promote your Products or Biz (or Yourself, which is Brand Building), Post to your own Blog, Share Pictures, Videos, etc… Ask questions, or provide answers, and generally Share Resources on Our Forum… Plus, at the bottom of each page on our web site, you can promote your Profile, posts, pics, videos et.al… with the major sources of Social Media Referrals such as Digg, Delicious, Facebook, etc…, etc…

Third Theology
Parish: St. Charles, Hartland
Seminary: Pontifical North American College, Rome, Italy
Birthday: May 16
Intercessor: St. John the Beloved
Originally from Colgate but a Milwaukee-enthusiast, I'm a 2017 graduate of our college seminary program and have just begun my third year of theology studies in Rome.
Ultimately, while rooted in my family, my vocation story finds it beginning in an experience before the Blessed Sacrament. After my sophomore year of high school (I attended Marquette High School in Milwaukee), I had the opportunity to experience Christ on a semi-silent canoe retreat in the Canadian wilderness, along with several classmates, a Jesuit scholastic, and a Jesuit priest. During this 70 mile retreat, we were given the opportunity to adore the Lord perpetually in the Eucharist throughout the night. My "adoration shift" was early in the morning; the surroundings were breathtaking and my experience before our Lord was everything. Before Jesus, there was neither a voice nor lightning, but rather a conviction in that holy silence to draw closer to Him, especially through this priestly vocation. In the ensuing year, I met frequently with the priest whom I had been on retreat with, to pray, talk, and receive guidance and support. During my first week of senior year, I contacted Fr. Luke Stand for an initial meeting. Two weeks later, I came back with my parents and formally received my application from Fr. Luke (and deleted the other university applications I had been working on). While boarding the flight to the March for Life in January of 2013, I received a phone call from Fr. Luke letting me know of my acceptance to St. Francis de Sales.
In my opinion, the greatest challenge facing a man considering the seminary is the cultivation of and perseverance in the spiritual life. Without a personal relationship with Jesus - and the freedom that it brings - it is impossible for the authentic discernment of our vocations!
"As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul yearns for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When can I enter and see the face of God?" (Ps 42: 2-3). I really don't think anything else needs to be said! This is our Christian longing, our pilgrimage back to Him.
My hobbies include (in no particular order): spending time with Jesus, being with good people, family, and friends, drinking coffee, reading Flannery O'Connor, getting outdoors, exploring Milwaukee, and listening to Bon Iver.
My favorite place to pray in the Archdiocese is at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians at Holy Hill (I was confirmed there by Bishop Sklba in high school). While the whole Basilica is charged with that sense of sacredness and beauty, I am struck especially by the intimacy of the second level chapel dedicated to the patronage of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, especially when no one else is there.
Depends upon the day and what I'm trying to accomplish - so the library, a coffee shop, or my room.
Although this answer frequently changes, right now, I'm really drawn to the figure of St. John the Beloved. By his life he presents a compelling example of discipleship; the language of his Gospel speaks to the profound reality of Jesus; and his relationship with Mary ("Behold your Mother") is a pattern for all of us to follow.
