What Would Helmut Schmidt Do? Leadership in a Time of Crisis
Dec 15, 2011
Lecutre at the GHI | Speaker: Theo Sommer
With the departure of Silvio Berlusconi in Italy and George Papandreou in Greece, the present crisis of the Euro is turning out to be a crisis for Europe's leadership. In this lecture, Theo Sommer looked back at a European leader of a different moment, former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt.As one of the leaders of European integration in the 1970s, Schmidt was instrumental in the creation of the European Monetary System, a major precursor to the embattled European Economic and Monetary Union of today.
Theo Sommer is Editor-at-Large of the German weekly Die Zeit. From 1973 to 1992, he was the paper's Editor-in-Chief (Chefredakteur) and from 1992-2000 he served as one of its publishers (Herausgeber). His most recent book, Unser Schmidt: Der Staatsmann und der Publizist (Hoffmann und Campe, 2010), is a first-hand account of Helmut Schmidt's career as politician and as publisher for Die Zeit.
After introductory remarks about his long-standing friendship with Helmut Schmidt, their collaboration on the publisher's board of Die Zeit, and the many conversations they had in the course of preparing his book on Schmidt, Sommer gave an overview of Schmidt's views on the current Euro crisis. Since Germany was the beneficiary of significant international aid in the postwar period, Germany should stand ready to make major contributions to the economic recovery of the weaker members of the Euro zone. Referring to the disastrous consequences of Chancellor Brüning's deflationary policies in the early 1930s, Schmidt has argued that simply imposing austerity would be a recipe for disaster in the current crisis. Instead he has called for a European growth plan modeled on the Marshall plan as well as stricter regulation of financial markets.
Regarding Germany's role in world politics, Sommer reported that Schmidt has long been categorically opposed to military intervention abroad, even condemning German participation in the Balkan wars in the 1990s. Schmidt not only opposed the war in Iraq, but also believes that the war in Afghanistan is doomed to failure. He is also concerned that NATO functions too much as an instrument of US policy; instead, NATO should be scaled back to become a purely defensive organization. Regarding the United States, Schmidt predicts that the American population will soon begin to demand more social justice at home. Regarding China, he acknowledges China's military buildup but points out that China has historically been a peaceful nation and that the US military will remain superior for at least another generation. He warns that the West must not enter a new Cold War with China but continue on the path of cooperation.
Summer then turned to Schmidt's views on Russia and Turkey. Although Schmidt is concerned that Russia may be headed toward some sort of authoritarian government, he believes that it is not Germany's job to lecture the Russians. Given that Germany invaded Russia in two world wars, it is remarkable that current relations between Germany and Russia are as friendly as they are, and Schmidt believes that German foreign policy must do what it can to maintain these good relations. Schmidt is opposed to Turkey's accession to the European Union both because further expansion would water down the Union and because he does not regard Turkey as a stable democracy but as a country that is part of a different Kulturkreis. On this point, Sommer dissented from Schmidt, expressing strong support for Turkey's accession to the European Union.
In conclusion, Sommer noted that Schmidt was a pragmatic politician and that his political reputation has only soared since his retirement from the chancellorship in 1982. Today, he is regarded as Germany's most important elder statesman. The lecture was followed by a vigorous question-and-answer period.

The search is still on for the BB Bandits that have caused thousands of dollars in damage in the Greatwood and New Territory subdivisions.
In cases that date back to late June, the BB Bandits have been trolling the streets of the subdivisions shooting out car windows and damaging property. The damages ramped up over the Fourth of July weekend when deputies took upwards to 40 reports for criminal mischief relating to shattered car windows in the two neighborhoods. Many residents have not filed police reports as the damages do not exceed their insurance deductibles.
Initially Sheriff's officials reported the suspect vehicle to be a dark colored Mustang. Later it was determined that the suspect vehicle was believed to be a small dark colored SUV. The suspect vehicle information was developed from a residential surveillance camera in Greatwood. According to reports as the suspect vehicle passed by the surveillance camera, the sound of a whizzing BB could be heard. At last count there are a total of 44 reported cases in this crime spree.
At press time the cases remain open with no indication that an arrest has been made. Authorities are asking anyone with information about these cases to contact Crime Stoppers where a reward of up to $5,000 is being offered. Anyone with information is asked to call the Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS.

Libertarianism is a social and political philosophy in the Western liberal tradition committed to the advancement of personal liberty. It is distinguished from egalitarianism by its views on property rights and the use of force. Although the term libertarianism first appeared in political discourse in the 1950s, its conceptual framework was firmly established in the 18th and 19th centuries by political economists and philosophers in the "classical liberal" tradition, most notably John Locke and John Stuart Mill. Despite marginal theoretical disagreement, most libertarians agree that the principles of self- ownership and nonaggression are foundational.
The most influential 20th-century libertarian theorists are in the Lockean deontological (rights-based) moral tradition. Robert Nozick and Murray Rothbard defend liberty via rights, independent of utilitarian considerations. Other recent scholars are in the teleological (consequentialist) moral tradition of John Stuart Mill. Milton Friedman and F. A. Hayek argue that increased personal liberty and small, decentralized government also produces greater individual happiness and social utility than highly centralized government. In the 20th century, libertarian theory was also shaped by outside influences such as Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy.
For Lockean libertarians, all rights are property rights rooted in John Locke's principle of self-ownership, or the idea that we own ourselves in the same sense that we may own property (natural resources and/or artifacts). Self-ownership limits sets objective limits on what others can do to bodies and our property without our consent. Entitlement to property is based on historical principles or how that property was originally acquired and voluntarily passed on to subsequent owners. Initial historical ownership of undeveloped natural resources resulted from a human person mixing his or her self-owned labor with that previously unowned resource. So, if we own ourselves, then we have a right to the fruits of our labor. The institution of involuntary slavery, for example, is universally morally wrong because it violates the principle of self-ownership and involuntarily deprives individuals of their natural right to what they produce.
Once natural resources come under initial ownership, entitlement to those natural resources and the subsequently human-created artifacts may be transferred to others, if and only if the contract is informed and consensual. Once legitimate ownership is established, neither other individuals nor the government may coercively seize that property. Most libertarians reject all governmental policies that coercively redistribute property based on some patterned, or preferred, end state such as merit, need, equality, or utility.
Recent debate concerning the original status of natural resources has spawned a form of libertarianism known as "left libertarianism," which, in contrast to "right libertarianism," argues that natural resources are not initially unowned, but owned collectively by society in some egalitarian manner as public property. Therefore, those who want to acquire unowned natural resources must secure consent or reimburse society for their use. If "social-ownership" is interpreted as "public-ownership," then and libertarianism's commitment to "private-ownership" is may be eroded over the long-run, especially if political leaders dole out those natural resources to reward to political cronies and punish political enemies.
Libertarians argue that the non-aggression axiom serves as the universal foundation for both morality and legality. Unprovoked physical aggression is as a violation of property rights via self-ownership. Libertarians follow John Stuart Mill and distinguish between other-regarding acts (harms), which violate the rights of others without their consent, and self-regarding acts, which do not. The inviolable bounds of personal liberty lie within the sphere of self-regarding actions. Self-defense is the only justification for violation of the nonaggression axiom. However voluntary, mutual defense contracts between individuals and groups are possible, but problematic.
Rights impose duties not to kill others or to deprive them of their liberty or property. According to libertarianism, the nonaggression axiom imposes a negative right to life, which posits a duty not to kill others or deprive them of their liberty or their property. There are no positive rights that obligate us to assist others and therefore, there is no "positive right to life." However, most libertarians are willing to forge mutually-beneficial, voluntary contracts with individuals and voluntary groups that support a positive right to life. All libertarians agree that positive rights might emerge on the basis of contractual mutual benefit, and that a right to life would be more efficiently secured by individual charity and cooperative, nongovernmental organizations than by tax-supported redistributive welfare.
The nonaggression axiom applies to both individuals and governments. Libertarians disagree over the implications of the nonaggression axiom for the nature and scope of the state as it limits government's ability to raise revenue via coercive taxation or raise an army via involuntary conscription. Most libertarians today are "minarchists," who support limited government that protects citizens (via an all-volunteer army) from external threats posed by aggressive nations and from internal threats (via a criminal justice system) posed by murderers and thieves. Some radical libertarians are "anarchists" or "anarcho- capitalists," who argue that all governments (by their very nature) violate the nonaggression axiom or that all governmental functions can be more efficiently served by private individuals, voluntary, nongovernmental associations, and the free market.
Libertarianism, Social Issues, and Global Affairs
Libertarians hold that most social problems are worsened, if not caused by government and therefore seek to empower individuals to make their own decisions and solve their own problems. Most libertarians are free market capitalists who opposed to any government redistribution programs intended to serve the greater good, such as: social welfare, socialized medicine, affirmative action, minimum wage laws, public schools, or urban planning.
Libertarians resist any attempt by powerful individuals or governmental central planners to coercively impose any one moral or religious view as a legal obligation. Therefore, they stand opposed to governmental regulation of marriage, birth control, pornography, and recreational drugs. Libertarian views on abortion, stem cell research, and cloning are contingent on internal arguments over whether self-ownership applies to zygotes, fetuses, and/or clones.
In terms of foreign policy, libertarians hold firm to the nonaggression axiom and therefore declare war only in self-defense or perhaps the defense of non-state allies. In global economic affairs, libertarians embrace free market economic policies and laissez-faire government. Minarchists limit the role of government (national and international) to protecting consumers against theft and fraud, while both minarchists and anarchists oppose governmentally enforced monetary policy, protective tariffs, and anti-sweatshop legislation. Both argue that foreign aid, when appropriate, is best provided by private individuals and nongovernmental organizations (but not governments) to benefit private individuals and groups (but not governments).
On the contemporary political landscape, libertarians are classified as "social liberals" and "economic conservatives." They are united in their opposition to any individual or group that is willing to violate the non-aggression axiom for the "greater good" (communitarians, egalitarians, and utilitarians). Libertarians, however, disagree among themselves as to whether it is possible for minarchists to maintain small government over the long-run, without expanding into totalitarian statism; and, whether it is possible for anarchists to rely on private, police, judiciaries, and armies for self-defense.

Regency Corset - cording detail
I used the Mantua Makers Regency Corset Pattern for 1800-1820 to make this corset which I made from rose brocade coutil. The cording in the photo was not a detail discussed in the pattern but one that I added. The lacing method used was "spiral lacing".

My Photography is the way I appreciate life the moments and beauty through me lens. I feel that I'm a witness to a chapter in our history. I like documenting historical places, people, events, etc. It's also therapeutic for me. I'm always feeling - watching for mood, the perceptions, color schemes, etc. I have recently started a series of conceptual images with vintage classic themes. My hometown is Los Angeles in fact Frogtown and proud of it! I moved in the early 90's about 20 miles east but still visit and walk the streets for my street photography.
I use a digital camera dslr, 35 mm camera and medium format rangefinder. For each image, I generally print 16x24 but will accept pretty much any print order up to poster size. I print lustre or satin paper and for galleries premium quality printed on archival fine art paper.

Have you ever lost something very important to you?
Tell us about a time you lost something valuable, and what you had to do to find it? When you lose something valuable, it hurts, doesn't it? You don't stop looking for it until you find it. God our Father has a special interest in lost things also. Check out the following stories in Luke chapter 15 and see if you can figure out what God is showing us about His concern for lost possessions.
- The Lost Sheep – Luke 15:4-7
- The Lost Coin – Luke 15:8-10
- The Lost Son – Luke 15:9-24
What do these three stories have in common? How did the woman, the shepherd, and the father feel about the valued possession they had lost? How hard and long did they look? What kind of emotion did they feel after what they lost was found? In the three stories, who does the woman, the shepherd, or the father represent? What do you think the lost thing represents?
A bit later in the book of Luke, Jesus brings up the theme of lost possessions again when he says in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." The Living Bible (TLB) Jesus is talking about lost people. Who are lost people? How would you describe them?
From what you have read in the three stories in Luke 15 and Jesus' words in Luke 19, how would you describe God's heart for the lost? (For a bit more insight look at 1 Timothy 2:3-4 and 2 Peter 3:9) What is God saying to you about lost people? Are there some lost people at your school you are especially concerned about? Who?
A student at your school who is spiritually lost may not look any different than you or your Christian friends. In fact, they may even feel the same way that you do about many things, and face some of the same problems. The difference is that they are spiritually dead, they do not have Christ living within them to guide and comfort them, and they are facing eternal separation from God. Jesus Christ deeply cares about your lost friends. They are on His "Most Wanted" list and He wants you to be the one who helps bring them home to Him.
What is the greatest thing that has ever happened to you? You were lost and now you know Jesus Christ personally. What is the greatest thing you could ever do for someone else? You can help bring them to Jesus Christ.
Who are your "Most Wanted"?
Ask God to bring to mind the faces and names of those you want to pray for, asking that they would come to Christ. List their names one by one.

Sounds of the Band
Simply click on the song name to listen and/or download.
You will need an MP3-capable audio player, such as Windows Media Player, WinAmp or Quicktime. Before obtaining any music for non-personal use, please contact us. Thank you.
CDs are available from the Regimental Band.
In 1918, the U.S. Department of Education appointed a committee of eminent individuals to standardize the Star Spangled Banner. This version, arranged by John Philip Sousa, has been used at all Academy Ceremonies since 1943.
Henry Russell was born in England in 1812 but spent much of his life in America. When Russell was asked about the work's origin, he stated: "It was composed some 60 years ago whilst in America. The origin of the song emanated from Epps Sargent, the poet, walking with him on the Battery in New York City, watching the ships in the harbour. The view from the Battery inspired Sargent to write the words for a song. I set them to music and the song ultimately became one of the most popular in England and America." This march, with it's close associations with New York, the home state of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, has been used as the unofficial signature song of the Regimental Band since 1970.
The Armed Forces medley is performed in honor of the many Academy graduates who serve, and have served, in all branches of our nation's armed forces as both career and reserve officers. Part of the USMMA Armed Forces medley is "Heave Ho," the official march of the U.S. Maritime Service. This march was composed during World War II by LTJG Jack Lawrence, USMS. Including "Heave-Ho" in the Armed Forces medley is in tribute to the 6,000 veterans of the U.S. Merchant Marine who served in the submarine infested icy waters during W.W.II to deliver supplies to the Allied effort. Only in 1988 did these brave Mariners receive their proper recognition by being granted official "Veteran Status."
Walter P. English was a talented tuba player who spent most of his life playing in circus bands including the Barnum & Bailey Circus Band. He dedicated this march to Karl L. King, who was bandmaster first of the Sells Floto Circus and later the Barnum & Bailey Circus before settling down for a long and active life in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Merle Evans loved this march and used it for wild animal and elephant acts. The second strain is a "tour de force" for trombone and lower brass players.
The "Stars and Stripes Forever" became our "National March" on December 11, 1987, when President Reagan signed the Congressional legislation. In the recording the famous piccolo solo is played twice. However, the second time it is played by Midshipman Jeffery Hurley of San Antonio, Texas on the TUBA!
"Oh, stately strife born Alma Mater the sound flows softly at thy feet and sunset strikes across its waters as silver notes invoke retreat. Now dim the paths and trees in darkness, the stars above our way appoint. We'll sleep secure aboard 'til morning. God steer thee well, Kings Point!"
We're moving down the field to victory
Men of the Gray and Blue
We've got the ball, our opponents must fall,
So hit' em hard, hit' em hard
We'll raise a banner to the Mariners
Victors on land and sea.
Gridiron men of the Merchant Marine.
Its a Kings Point Victory.
This arrangement of these two moving songs places a lone bugler away from the band. The two echo each other back and forth, finally fading away into the night, just as Taps does each evening.

I may have been M.I.A from Curators of Style for awhile, but that doesn't mean I haven't been a busy little bee. While my COS alerts were missing from your email, my energy has been redirected into getting my Kickstarter campaign finished for my new line of small leather accessories — Kristin Ashford Bags.
It has been a lot of work, a lot of learning and a hell of a lot of fun. And, like most great efforts, I couldn't have done it with out the help of my very talented friends. They helped me write the script, direct the video, lent their homes for shoot locations, and provided me with generous amounts of overall support.
I am happy to announce my kickstarter campaign went live today! Please check it out and if you like what you see, help spread the word. A girl needs all the support she can get!!
Check it out here.
While my number one wish is for my Kickstarter campaign to be a roaring success! I've also been dreaming about fall, and all the goodies I need to add to my closet. I am simply obsessed with Balenciaga's stretch jersey thigh high boots. The vibrant colors worn with muted floral dresses (see Isabel Marant below) and richly colored separates maybe an unexpected combination, but one that oddly looks smashing. They are just the right amount of kick-in-the-pants a fall wardrobe needs. I wouldn't be surprised to see this trend stick around for a while!
Another item I CAN NOT get out of my head, is Anna October's ruffled corset blouse; so romantic and sexy. And, plays off of the huge interest in statement sleeves going on. For those cool weather days coming upon us quickly, 3.1 Phillip Lim has taken the puffer coat, cropped it off at the waist and made the sleeves detachable for your Apres ski days.
Another must have for running about in comfort, and lounging around in style are NSF's cotton sweat pants and side lace-up sweat shirt! Cozy and chic!
NSF Enzo Lace-up Side Sweatshirt // See by Chloé Back Pack // Isabel Marant Diana Asymmetric Floral-Print Stretch-Crepe Dress //Byredo Rose Of No Man's Land Eau De Parfum 50ml // Balenciaga Stretch-Jersey Thigh Boots // NSF Maddox Cotton French Terry Sweatpants //Anna October Ruffled Corset Blouse//By Terry Hyaluronic Sheer Nude Hydra-Balm Lipstick #5 // 3.1 Phillip Lim Blue Puffer Ski Coat // Gucci Horsebit-Detailed Leather Loafers // Golden Goose Deluxe Brand Wide Leg Trousers

Don't you love receiving something you know much thought and care had been given when it was chosen for you? My daughter gave me that kind of present. It was a bracelet made out of vintage typewriter keys, a perfect gift for a writer. It brands me as it inspires me to continue pounding the keyboard toward my word count goals, creating Christian Fiction that entertains and influences readers. As authors, it represents the array of tools we use to create our prose, adventures for our audience.
But, if we really look at the keyboard it has the answers people are searching for when they purchase our books, anticipating a good read. Our task is to use the keys to craft a tale that carries the emotions of those reading the words up and down like the arrow keys that move the cursor across the page.
Pressing ENTER, we divide our work into scenes and chapters striving to hook people in the first sentence and keep them turning pages by the powerful last line. As we BOLDLY create our plots with an unforgettable hero and heroine, the characters BACK SPACE, reliving problems in their personal history that are affecting their present day. They desire to ESC wounds of their past, to DEL bad memories and END their personal pain.
When an amazing love interest ENTERs, he or she ALT everything. Reluctantly they SHIFT their priorities to reach for illusive happiness. Using the keys, we INSERT several LOL moments with XOXO as love grows. But when tragedy ENTERS the scene and things spin out of CONTROL, ??? appear, threatening the future.
When you INSERT a spiritual thread giving hope of a Savior who will DELETE their sins and INS peace into their situations, the story takes a SHIFT. With trepidation, your characters allow Him to CONTROL the circumstances and are transformed in the process, presenting an example to those needing the truths we share.
Through the twists and turns we creatively INSERT, the characters ESC the grasp of the past to take BOLD steps toward 'happily ever after' with the ones they love. HIGHLIGHTING the transformation of our characters through this journey, with all loose ends tied into a perfect bow, we love using the keys to type…. THE END.

nagement, that I more than once perceived myself ready to start in that cause, could I have allowed myself to desert Homer for so long a time as it would have cost me to do them justice. While I was pondering these things, the public prints informed me that Miss More was on the point of publication, having actually finished what I had not began. The sight of her advertisement convinced me that my best course would be that to which I felt myself most inclined ; to persevere without turning aside to attend to any other call, however alluring, in the business I have in hand. It occurred to me likewise, that I have lately borne my testimony in favour of my black brethren, and that I was one of the earliest, if not the first, of those who have, in the present day, expressed their detestation of the diabolical trade in question. On all these accounts I judged it best to be silent. I shall be glad to see Hannah More's poem; she is a favourite writer with me, and has more nerve and energy, both in her thoughts and language, than half the rhymers in the kingdom."
It will be seen by the last extract made from Cowper's letters to Mr. Newton, that he had now commenced a correspondence with Mrs. King, and as his letters to that lady are highly interesting, we shall make such use of them as will be descriptive of the state of his mind at that period. "A letter from a lady who was once intimate with my brother, could not fail of being most acceptable to me. I lost him just at a moment when those truths which have recommended my volumes to your approbation, were become his daily sustenance, as they had long been mine. But the will of God was done. I have sometimes thought that had his life been spared, being made brothers by a stricter tie than ever, in the bonds of the same faith, hope, and love, we should have been happier in each other than it was in the power of mere natural affection to make us. But it was his blessing to be taken from a world in which he had no longer any wish to continue; and it will be mine, if, while I live in it, my time may be not altogether wasted: in order to effect that good end, I wrote what I am happy to find has given you pleasure to read. But for that pleasure, Madam, you are indebted neither to me nor to my muse; but (as you are well aware) to Him who alone can make divine truths palatable, in whatever vehicle conveyed. It is an established philosophical axiom, that nothing can communicate what it has not in itself; but in the effects of Christian communion, a very strong exception is found to this general rule, however selfevident it may seem. A man, himself destitute of all spiritual consolation, may by occasion, impart it to others. Thus I, it seems, who wrote those very poems, to amuse a mind oppressed with melancholy, and who have myself derived from them no other benefit, (for mere success in authorship will do me no good,) have nevertheless, by so doing, comforted others, at the same time that they administer to me no consolation. But I will proceed no farther in this strain, lest my prose should damp a pleasure that my verse has happily excited. On the contrary, I will endeavour to rejoice in your joy, and especially, because I have myself been the instrument of conveying it."
"I owe you many acknowledgments, dear Madam, for that unreserved communication both of your history and of your sentiments, with which you honoured me in your last, it gives me great pleasure to learn that you are so happily circumstanced, both in respect of situation and frame of mind. With your view of religious subjects, you could not indeed, speaking properly, be pronounced unhappy in any circumstances; but to have received from above, not only that faith which reconciles the heart to affliction, but many outward comforts also, and especially that greatest of all earthly comforts, a comfortable home, is happiness indeed. May you long enjoy it! As to health or sickness, you have learned already their true value, and know well that the former is no blessing, •unless it be sanctified, and that the latter is the greatest we can receive, when we are enabled to make a proper use of it."
"The melancholy that I have mentioned to you, and concerning which you are so kind as to inquire, is of a kind, so far as I know, peculiar to myself. It does not at all affect the operations of my mind, on any subject to which I can attach it, whether serious or ludicrous, or whatever it may be, for which reason I am almost always employed either in reading or writing, when I arn not engaged in conversation. A vacant hour is my abhorrence; because, when I am not occupied, I suffer under the whole influence of my unhappy temperament. I thank you for your recommendation of a medicine from which you have derived benefit yourself; but there is hardly anything that I have not proved, however beneficial it may have been found to others, in my own case, utterly useless. I have, therefore, long since bid adieu to all hope from human means—the means excepted of perpetual employment. I will not say that we shall never meet, because it is not for a creature, who knows not what will be to-morrow, to assert anything positively concerning the future. Things more unlikely I have seen come td pass; and things which, if I had expressed myself on them at all, I should have said were impossible. But, being respectively circumstanced as we are, there seems no present probability of it. You speak of insuperable hinderances, and I also have hinderances that would be equally difficult to surmount. One is, that I never ride; that I am not .able to perform so long a journey on foot; and that chaises do not roll within the sphere of that economy which my circumstances oblige me to observe. If this were not of itself a sufficient excuse, when I decline so obliging an invitation as yours, I could mention yet other obstacles. But to what end? One impracticability makes as effectual a barrier as a thousand: it will be otherwise in other worlds: either we shall not bear about us a body, or it will be more easily transportable than this. The world in which we live is indeed, as you say, a foolish world, and is likely to continue such, till the Great Teacher himself shall vouchsafe to make it . wiser. I am persuaded that time alone will never mend it. But there is doubtless a day appointed when there will be a more general manifestation of the beauty of holiness, than mankind have ever yet beheld. When that period shall arrive, there will be an end of prophane representations, whether of heaven or hell, on the stage, of which you complain—the great realities of religion will supersede them."
"You must think me a tardy correspondent, unless you have charity enough to suppose that I have met with other hinderances than those of indolence and inattention. With these I cannot charge myself, for I am never idle by choice; and inattentive to you I certainly have not been. My silence has been occasioned by a malady to which I have all my life been subject—an inflammation of the eyes. The last sudden change of weather, from excessive heat to a wintry degree of cold, occasioned it, and at the same time gave me a pinch of the rheumatic kind, from both which disorders I have but just recovered. I do not suppose that our climate has been much altered since the days of our forefathers, the Picts; but certainly the human constitution, in this country, has altered very much. Inured as we are from our cradles to every vicissitude, in a climate more various than any other, and in possession of all that modern refinement has been able to contrive for our security, we are yet as subject to blights as the tenderest blossoms of spring; and we are so well admonished of every change in the atmosphere by our bodily feelings, as hardly to have any need of a weatherglass to mark them. For this we are, no douht, indebted to the multitude of our accommodations; for it was not possible to retain the hardiness that originally belonged to our race, under the delicate management of which, for many ages, we have been accustomed. It is observable, however, that though we have by these means lost much of our pristine vigour, our days are not the fewer. We live as long as those whom, on account of the sturdiness of their frame, the poets supposed to have been the progeny of oaks. Perhaps, too, they had but little feeling, and for that reason might be imagined to be so descended; for a very robust, athletic habit, seems inconsistent with much sensibility. But sensibility is the sine qua non of real happiness. If, therefore, our lives have been shortened, and if our feelings have been rendered more exquisite, as our habit of body has become more delicate, on the whole we have no cause to complain, but are rather gainers by our degeneracy."
In the beginning of June, 1788, an event occurred, which, though it had been long expected by Cowper and by all his friends, could not fail to make a deep impression upon his peculiarly sensitive mind. This was the death of his esteemed and venerable relation Ashly Cowper, Esq., Clerk of the Parliaments, and brother to Cowper's father, the last moments of whose life his daughter, Lady Hesketh, had watched over with the tenderest solicitude. In reply to an affectionate letter from his friend Mr. Hill, apprizing him of the event, he thus writes:—" Your letter brought me the first intelli
fence of the event it mentions. My last from Lady Heseth gave me reason enough to expect it; but the certainty of it was unknown to me till I learned it by your information. If gradual decline, the consequence of great age, be a sufficient preparation of the mind to encounter such a loss, our minds were certainly prepared to meet it: yet to you I need not say that no preparation can supersede the feelings of the heart on such occasions. While our friends yet live, inhabitants of the same world with ourselves, they seem still to live to us—we are sure that they often think of us,- and, however improbable it may seem, it is never impossible that we may see each other once again. But the grave, like a great gulph, swallows all such expectations, and in the moment when a beloved friend sinks into it, a thousand tender recollections awaken a regret that will be felt in spite of all reasonings, and let our warnings have been what they may. My dear uncle's death awakened in me many reflections, which, for a time, sunk my spirits. A man like him would have been mourned had he doubled the age he reached. At any age his death would have been felt as a los9 that no survivor could repair. And though it was not probable that, for my own part, I should ever see him more, yet the consciousness that he still lived, was a comfort to me. Let it comfort us now, that we have lost him only at a time when nature could afford him to us no longer; that as his life was blameless, so Was his death without anguish, and that he is gone to heaven. I know not that human life, in its most prosperous state, can present anything to our wishes half so desirable as such a close of it."
In another letter, he again writes;—" We have indeed lost one who has not left his like in the present generation of our family; and whose equal, in all respects, no future generation of it will probably produce. I often think what a joyful interview there has been between him and some of his friends who went before him. The truth of the matter is, my dear, they are happy onesj and we shall never be entirely so ourselves till we have joined the party. Can there be anything so worthy of our warmest wishes as to enter on an eternal, unchangeable state, in blessed fellowship and communion with those whose society we valued most, and for the best reasons, while they continued with us? A few steps more through a vain, foolish world, and this happiness will be yours. But I earnestly hope the end of thy journey is not near. For of all that live, thou art one whom I can least spare; for thou also art one who shall not leave thy equal behind thee."
The state of Cowper's mind at this period will be discovered by the following extract from a letter to his friend Mr. Bull, who appears to have solicited him for some original hymns, to be used by him probably on some public occasion. "Ask possibilities, and they shall be performed; but ask not hymns from a man suffering with despair as I do. I would not sing the Lord's song were it to save my life, banished as I am, not to a strange land, but to a remoteness from his presence, in comparison to which the distance from east to west is no distance—is vicinity and cohesion. I dare not, either in prose or verse, allow myself to express a frame of mind which I am conscious does not belong to me; least of all can I venture to use the language of absolute resignation, lest, only counterfeiting, I should, for that very reason, be taken strictly at my word, and lose all my remaining comfort. Can there not be found, among the translations of Madame Guion, somewhat that might serve the purpose? I

A person who excels in telling anecdotes.The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is a bit more inclusive to start:
A (usu. skilled) teller of anecdotesbut then circumscribes the word significantly by adding a reference to a word I'd never heard of:
raconteuse A female raconteur.
What surprises me here (aside from raconteuse) is not what is in the definition, but what is left out. Having over the years imagined a definition based on the ways I've heard the word used, I would have defined raconteur as
One who skillfully tells anecdotes, often (if not always) from personal experience, that experience gained often (if not always) while drunk or with drunks.
Am I the only one who thinks of raconteurs this way? I decided to put the question to Google. A search on notable storyteller Garrison Keillor and raconteur returns 518 hits, while a search on notable drunk, actor, and storyteller Peter O'Toole and raconteur yields 567 hits. That may not satisfy science, but the fact that someone best known for his acting and drinking outperforms someone primarily known for his storytelling is enough for me.
[Side note: A search on Garrison Keillor and drunk yields a surprising 67,700 hits--but here's where O'Toole really shines: he draws about 130,000. What a man.]
This is all prelude to an appreciation of raconteurs, especially as I erroneously define them. As someone who mostly stays at home or sees the same old friends, enjoys a single martini and hates hangovers, and is nearly always in bed by midnight, my respect for those who are capable of adventuring until dawn knows almost no bounds. I understand that the rackety life can cause difficulties for the practitioner and his loved ones--but once the tippler has survived his adventures, and especially once he's committed them to the page, he becomes my friend for life, giving me entree to late-night worlds as unexpected and exotic as those of The Arabian Nights.
In recent weeks, I've been spending a lot of time with a couple of literary raconteurs. I'm continuing to plow through Soho dandy Julian Maclaren-Ross's ouvre, which is essentially one long story about being down at heel and looking for money for cigarettes and booze. His Memoirs of the Forties (1965) features cameos from all sorts of well-known and long-forgotten London literary drunks and hustlers, from Dylan Thomas:
"Why don't you take that bloody jacket off?" Dylan said.to the mostly-forgotten editor of Poetry London, J. Meary Tambimuttu, about whom Maclaren-Ross first learns from a girl named Kitty of Bloomsbury:
"What's wrong with my jacket?"
"Fucking dandy, flourishing that stick. Why don't you try to look more sordid, boy. Sordidness, that's the thing."
When Kitty came down from Oxford and was looking for a job, [Tambi] took her to a bare basement room, containing a half-collapsed camp bed, a kitchen chair and a wooden table on which were a bottle of blue-black ink, a chewed post-office pen holder, and stacks of [his] embossed crested paper.Tambimuttu, whose incorrigibility is perhaps only matched by his general enthusiasm for anything not involving paying out money, becomes a regular drinking companion of Maclaren-Ross. One night, says Maclaren-Ross,
"This was my office," he said. "Now it is yours. I engage you as my secretary and poetry-reader." Squashing a cockroach on the sweating wall with a rolled-up copy of Poetry London, he waved this at a chaos of accumulated MSS in a corner.
"Poems," he said. "Contributions, you know? I have not time to read them. If they're no good, perhaps they should be returned. They've been here a long time; the rats have eaten some. We have no typewriter yet, but there is ink and paper to write the authors. You will be paid fortnightly. Do you have any money?"
"Yes, thank you, I've got five pounds."
"That is good," Tambimuttu said. "I am a prince in my country and princes don't carry money, you know. Give me the fiver and later the firm will refund you. I am going to lunch with T. S. Eliot. You know who is T. S. Eliot?"
We were with two suburban young women, new to Fitzrovia, whom he'd picked up in the Wheatsheaf and who were both uninteresting and interested only in being bought a meal in some newly opened restaurant which they'd heard was good but which was off our usual beat. Tambi was becoming increasingly worried as we stumbled over cobble-stones further and further from the territory that he had made his own; he glanced longingly at strips of light visible through the blackouts of pubs where the girls refused to stop.
"Nearly ten o'clock," he muttered. "In an hour they'll be closing and this restaurant perhaps has no license," and suddenly he caught up with the girls who were walking ahead arm-in-arm, giggling and whispering together, convinced that they'd achieved their objective in finding a pair of suckers who would foot the bill.
"Listen you must tell us please, my friend and I wish to know, do you do it or not?"
"Do it?" they chorused. "Do what?"
"You know. Sex."
There was a pause for shock to register, then outraged gasps of "How dare you," came in unison.
"You mean you don't?"
"Certainly not. The idea!"
"Then be off!" Tambi shouted, banishing them with a gesture into the blackout: "You are wasting our valuable drinking time," and we retraced our steps to Rathbone Place.
I said: "I could have told you those girls were NBG."
"How did you know?"
"Well they were nurses or something weren't they?"
"Don't nurses do sex?"
"Yes but only with doctors whom they hope to marry after."
"Only doctors? Is that all?" Tambi was silent for a moment then asked: "Only medical doctors? A doctor of literature would not be any good?"
"Are you a doctor of literature?"
"Not yet, but I could have a degree conferred. Honorary you know. From Oxford. I know many professors there, and then I could fuck with all these nurses. What do you think?"
Again and again, Maclaren-Ross recounts tales that could only happen in the wee hours, when the participants are burning with a low blue flame--exactly the hours I spend in bed, and exactly what I want from my raconteurs. Similarly, many of the people he tells of would be absolutely intolerable in real life--especially if one or both of you were sober--which leads me to expand on my definition of raconteur:
One who skillfully tells anecdotes, often (if not always) from personal experience, that experience gained often (if not always) while drunk or with drunks--frequently drunks who are best heard of at second-hand.
This rambling post is getting long, and I haven't even gotten to the second of my recent raconteur companions, Ludwig Bemelmans. For that, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Until then, I'm going back to my martini.

Professor Paul Glader Announced as Visiting Professor at Columbia University
Paul Glader has been named as the Laventhol/Newsday Visiting Professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for the Spring 2018 semester.
Paul Glader, associate professor of journalism, media and entrepreneurship and director of the McCandlish Phillips Journalism Institute at The King's College, has been named as the Laventhol/Newsday Visiting Professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for the Spring 2018 semester. During the Fellowship, Professor Glader will continue to oversee journalism training projects of the McCandlish Phillips Journalism Institute, and plans to be on campus at TKC about one day per week.
Professor Glader received a Master's of Science from Columbia School of Journalism and a certificate from Columbia's Graduate School of Business in 2008 while he was a Knight-Bagehot Fellow, so he says being named to the Laventhol Professorship is a bit like returning home. "It's a privilege to be invited to serve as a graduate professor at such a top journalism school," he said. He will spend the semester on faculty at Columbia teaching an intensive masters-level course on business journalism, his area of expertise, as well as personal writing and reporting projects.
This professorship at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism is named for famed journalist, editor, and publisher David Laventhol, under whose leadership the publication Newsday received four Pulitzer prizes during the 1970s and 1980s. From his work at The Washington Post, Newsday, The L.A. Times and other publications, Laventhol is remembered for his keen eye for finding resonant and powerful stories in unexpected places, and for his personal character, which blended humility and a desire for excellence. He was also a creative leader, who designed the famous Style section of The Washington Post and the New York edition of Newsday.
Professor Glader is a former staff writer of The Wall Street Journal and has taught at The King's College since 2010 first as an adjunct and then full-time since 2013, teaching a mix of classes including Intro to Journalism, Business Journalism, Narrative Non-Fiction, Entrepreneurial Journalism and Persuasive Writing & Speaking. He is the founding director of the McCandlish Phillips Journalism Institute, which offers journalism events, training and resources. He has headed up journalism curriculum and activities at King's since his arrival, including the new major in Journalism, Culture and Society, which begins in the Fall of 2017. He also developed the NYC Semester in Journalism (NYCJ) program, which welcomes up to 15 visiting journalism students to King's each semester from almost 30 partner schools. Glader has written for publications such as Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Forbes, The New York Times and The Washington Post, among many others. In other projects, Glader serves as director of the Dow Jones News Fund business journalism residency at New York University, which means selecting the top 30 business journalism students nationwide for paid summer internships and running a week-long training program for them at NYU. Glader also serves as executive director of The Media Project, a non-profit network of more than 700 journalists worldwide, mostly from the global South. It offers education, training, professional development on topics such as newsroom ethics, leadership, religion reporting and business reporting.
Upon receiving the professorship, Professor Glader said, "As I consider the future of media, from the technological and economic situation to the polarizing state of American culture, I'm deeply grateful to be affiliated with two institutions—Columbia University and The King's College—that care about the First Amendment, freedom of the press, and about using journalism responsibly to communicate what is happening in the world."

Looking Back and Seeing How Far We Have Come
Alumni Survey Results:
Graduates report on careers and share thoughts on the HSM Program
The Health Systems Management (HSM) degree program within the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing was founded just over a decade ago, created to meet the growing need for socially just and ethically-based healthcare administrators. This year HSM is celebrating its ninth graduating class with 65 new graduates. With almost 300 HSM alumni now in the national workforce, Loyola University Chicago has begun to leave its healthcare administration footprint from coast to coast.
Earlier this year the 2015 and 2016 graduating classes were asked to complete a survey describing their current careers and impressions of the HSM degree program. The results are helping the HSM Program better serve students going forward.
With over 60 percent of 2015-2016 graduates responding, we learned 88 percent are employed in healthcare organizations around the country and another 8 percent are in graduate or professional school full-time. The top three employment sectors for respondents were hospital systems, health information technology organizations, and healthcare consulting firms. HSM alumni are working as project managers, data analysts, reimbursement specialists, practice managers, and more.
Almost 25 percent of 2015-2016 graduates are pursuing further education in graduate or professional school either full or part-time, and another 60 percent have plans to return to school within the next three years. A small percentage have earned a specialty certification such as Lean Six Sigma or Project Management.
Roughly 85 percent of respondents believe the HSM degree program did an "excellent" or "good" job of positioning them for success in their careers, and over 50 percent reported HSM exceeded their expectations as a degree program with another 45 percent reporting their expectations fully met.
We learned just how much our alumni valued their interactions with faculty, the relationships they have maintained over time, and the practitioner experience our faculty bring to the classroom. They also gave us actionable ideas on how we can adapt the program to growing changes in healthcare delivery.
The alumni survey is an important touch point between graduates in the field and the ever-evolving HSM program. Our alumni have found many ways to stay involved in their alma mater – serving on the MNSON Alumni Board and the HSM External Advisory Board, mentoring seniors in the capstone project, guest lecturing in classes, offering job shadowing at their organizations or sitting on career panels. One of our HSM graduates is even teaching as an adjunct professor in the program. Whatever the role, we welcome all our former students back to HSM.
Thank you to all alumni who participated in the survey. Another survey will be sent out to 2017 graduates in the next year, so keep an eye on your inboxes and the opportunity to help shape the future of HSM. Be sure to respond and stay connected!
Go Ramblers!

Latimore vs. Spinks: Round by Round

Perhaps there is some local backstory but it's weak to boo their hometown guy, especially when they loved him so much a few years back and brought big fights to a non-traditional big fight city.

Hey Latimore is originally from St. Louis too, even though he lives in Las Vegas now. Maybe that has something to do with it...
- Apr 25, 2009, 12:24:00 AM
- uatu said...
I know that. They could just not cheer for Spinks, but they are actively booing him so that's a little more harsh.
- Apr 25, 2009, 12:27:00 AM

Alright I feel that... support both hometown guys. Then my official guess is that they are booing Cory's ridiculously low KO percentage!

yeah, that could be it.

spinks has been known to lose steam down the stretch too. could be an interesting finish

Spartan has Spinks up by one with two to go...

Spinks has lost has last two by split decision. Could be on his way to an unprecedented (as far as I know) three straight.

Not sure if it's unprecedented but I have to believe it's extremely rare. And it would definitely suck.

at the very least it read as if it was one of the more exciting spinks fights.

is this a don king promotion? is spinks still with king? you would assume that whoever the promoter is, that they would be backing Latimore.

This was a night dominated by the hollow men of the Democratic Party: Panetta, Kaine, Biden and Obama. Men who knew better, but did worse. The theme was liberal virility, strength, and managerial efficiency. Missing was any empathy for the homeless and the hungry, the poor and the downtrodden. It was a frontal embrace of the neoliberal order, a demonstration that the Democrats have the competency and toughness to manage the imperial order in a time of severe internal and external stress.
The last three hours weren't a full-throated repudiation of Sanderism, so much as a casual dismissal, as if the core concerns Bernie's movement gave voice to regarding the ravages of economic inequality didn't even merit their attention. And Bernie sat passively in the imperial box seats with Jane squirming at his side, watching it all unfold.
And then Bernie quit the party.

There are a handful of directors who always prompt me to venture out and endure the American multiplex experience. These are James Cameron, Darren Aronofsky, Terry Gilliam, Michel Gondry, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Baz Luhrmann.
Now I believe Gatsby is a good film, and you should see it, but it's not a truly great film. I also believe that I'm onto why that is, which will take some spoilers, after the jump.
So see the film. But if you want to hear me bicker and bitch and tear the thing apart…

Facing a growing backlash over the role that fake news and hate speech may have played in the recent U.S. presidential election, three of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies have announced plans to try to address the problem.
Google and Facebook have said they will update their advertising policies to target misleading ads that direct people to fake news sites. Meanwhile, USA Today reported that Twitter has closed the accounts of several notable alt-right personalities.
The news comes as the nation remains in shock over Donald Trump's upset victory last week.
Over the weekend, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg insisted that the amount of fake news on the platform remains tiny and could hardly have swayed the outcome. Still, the Trump campaign is now bragging about how Facebook's platform helped them win the election.
Google was drawn into the fray this week when an obviously fake news site that incorrectly claimed Trump had won the popular vote shot to the top of search results.
All these companies face a massive task, and it's not clear how much they can really do to stem fake news, hate speech, and bullying. At the same time, their brands and their appeal to advertisers, not to mention users, could be at risk if the problem is ignored.

District Long-Range Technology Plan
The philosophy of the Evesham Township School District is to integrate technology in all aspects of the school curriculum. We believe technology should be utilized as a tool to facilitate students' development of skills and strategies necessary for risk-taking, problem-solving, critical thinking and managing resources. As digital learners, our students will engage in authentic activities that facilitate exploration, interaction, and global communication in an effort to prepare them for success beyond the classroom. Enabled with digital and civic citizenship skills, students are equipped to be responsible members of today's diverse global society. To that end, the district develops and implements a long-range technology plan in three year cycles.
The main goals of the 2019-2022 Plan are:
1. Cultivate an environment that maximizes opportunities for students to engage, enhance and extend learning through communication, collaboration, creation, critical thinking, and application of the design process.
2. Maintain and extend current technology resources and infrastructure necessary for students and educators to safely engage with digital resources.
3. Continue to develop the skills and knowledge of teachers, staff, and administrators necessary to effectively integrate educational technology and support students' achievement of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.
Summer Technology Update 2019
The Technology Department, in conjunction with the Curriculum Department, was involved in a number of activities this past summer to further develop 21st century digital learning environments for our students. Projects have been on-going since school was let out in June and will continue through the end of September.
Technology Projects
Several technology projects took place this summer, including:

Great news out of New York City today: a city-wide version of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act has passed! This bill will protect those pregnant workers in NYC who need temporary modifications to continue safely working during pregnancy, like a reprieve from heavy lifting duties, permission to take more frequent water and bathroom breaks, or the ability to sit on a stool behind a cash register. These protections will be hugely important especially to low-wage workers, who are most likely to work physically demanding jobs, like in retail and in food service, and whose workplaces are likely to have little flexibility in their policies. It ensures that workers who need adjustments to the job because they are pregnant have the same right to accommodation as workers who need adjustments because of disability.
As mentioned in the New York Times article about the bill's passage in NYC, it may seem puzzling that a new bill is necessary in light of the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which will celebrate its 35th birthday this Halloween and requires employers to treat workers with limitations arising out of pregnancy as well as they treat workers with limitations arising out of disability. But time and again we have seen courts read the Pregnancy Discrimination Act narrowly, opening loopholes through which too many pregnant workers have fallen. The new law will make unmistakably clear the obligations of New York City employers to accommodate their pregnant employees.
Our coalition partners in New York, particularly A Better Balance, have worked tirelessly for this huge victory. While we celebrate for pregnant workers in NYC, we are all still hard at work to make the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act a reality for women across the nation. Workers in every corner of the country should have access to the accommodations they need to continue safely working and providing for their families during their pregnancies. Beyond being good for workers, this bill is overwhelmingly good for business as well. I hope that the success of the bill in NYC will clear the way for the passage of its federal counterpart.
This morning, we celebrate, and this afternoon, we organize.

[Kenny] Williams mentioned assistant general manager Rick Hahn and Ryan Gleichowski, Scott Podsednik's representative, continued to have contractual conversations. Podsednik's camp is pushing for a two-year deal, taking a chance that the White Sox one-year offer still will be available if the two-year deal never materializes.
As far as rating his optimism for a potential Podsednik return, Williams didn't have a definitive feeling in either direction.
"Early on, we made no secret that we felt there was a place for Pods and we made overtures to that effect," said Williams. "They expressed to us how he wanted to test the market and we respect his right to do that, but we told them that we were going to continue moving down the road. We don't allow any player to hold us hostage and wait around for them to get on their timetable. We operate on our own timetable.
"Obviously, we still have roster spots to fill and he's still out there. So, if he has a sincere desire in terms of fit and in terms of dollars that match up, it's time to get serious."

Another Bomb Drops on Atonement in San Antonio March 8, 2017Posted by Tantumblogo in abdication of duty, disaster, episcopate, error, General Catholic, horror, scandals, sexual depravity, shocking, sickness, Society, the struggle for the Church.
As I posted in January, popular pastor Fr. Christopher Phillips was removed by Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller rather suddenly and to the great shock and dismay of the people of the Anglican use Atonement Parish in San Antonio. Many could not fathom why the Archdiocese would take this action. There has been some speculation that it could have been due to Atonement seeking to join the Ordinariate and therefore a turf war over ownership of the really fabulous physical plant of the parish began. Having said that, and having heard very impassioned (and detailed) complaints against a certain Deacon James Orr from current and former parishioners of Atonement going back some time, I have wondered, largely to myself, whether or not an abuse allegation was not somehow involved.
Now, something has emerged regarding retired Deacon James Orr that could have been the instigation behind the San Antonio Archdiocese's intervention at Atonement Parish. I have heard very troubling reports from family and others who have been a part of Atonement in the past regarding this deacon's behavior around pre-teen and teenage boys. When I queried someone involved in the parish back in January, who seemed to have some first hand knowledge of the removal of Fr. Phillips, whether this matter of Deacon Orr could have played a part in the situation, this individual rather bluntly derided the idea.
But then there's this:
I have strong indications from a confidential source who works in the Archdiocese that this may not be the only abuse complaint made against Deacon Orr. Others, of a more recent nature, may be forthcoming.
This puts a very different spin on the dismissal of Fr. Phillips. I feel more confident in coming forward with what I have heard for years, from people I know extremely well and explicitly trust, which is that Deacon Orr routinely had inappropriate relationships with young boys at the parish, involving, at the least, what some parents viewed as encouragement of alienation from their family and subsequent provision of financial support on the part of the Deacon when these boys had a final falling out with their parents and moved out of the family home. Some of these relationships were short, others have persisted for years. Some very pointed complaints regarding Deacon Orr's activities have been made to Father Phillips , again, going back years. I was certainly not a party to any of those conversations, but I know at least some people associated with Atonement felt that Phillips failed to adequately address these concerns and may have even given the impression of dismissing them. Through it all, Phillips steadfastly defended this deacon.
This is the situation as I understand it, as has been related to me numerous times from multiple, independent sources.
I should stress that most people at Atonement have a great love for Father Phillips and continue to support him. But I would be remiss in not bringing up the very serious and mutually substantiating concerns of a minority whose complaints generally centered around Deacon Orr.
I do not know the specifics of the allegation made in February of this year. From what I understand, none of the inappropriate behavior of which I have been aware (as I describe above) ever degenerated to the level of actual physical abuse. I would like to caution everyone not to engage in either excessive demonization of Deacon Orr nor excessive defenses of Fr. Phillips in attacking those who have felt they have had very legitimate concerns for years, and whose concerns now seem to be amply justified.
We'll have to see how this shakes out, but I was always a little suspicious that the Archdiocese of San Antonio would make a naked power play for several million dollars worth of real estate without some serious complaint behind them to back them up. This appears to be it. That doesn't mean an ideology is not being served. That may well be the case, but it could be there were situations ongoing that had to be addressed. It's difficult to say at this point.
PS – Some will say that the Archdiocese moved against Phillips in January, before this allegation was formally made in February. But I would be a hefty sum the Archdiocese knew of the coming allegation before it was officially made, and that may explain the timing.

I spent more than a year at Atonement, and I'd say the chances are 99% it is a monstrous bishop with a knife out for a conservative priest with a rich parish. Remember the archbishop's letter that said he wanted to stamp out Atonement's unique and separate identity. I didn't get to know Deacon Orr, but I find it hard to believe there were real improprieties. Not discounting the sources you mention, but it's just hard to believe. If he had been involved in a scandal, where would he go? He'd have to leave the archdiocese. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that somebody from the Chancery made anonymous allegations so that they could steal the parish from Fr. Phillips, the wolves.
The state of the archdiocese of San Antonio was a disaster. The normal parishes were horrendous, with utterly predictable, very bad politics, and with architecture so bad that the bishop should have demolished many of them. Instead of inviting the FSSP to bring a desperately needed measure of sanity to the Archdiocese, the TLM community was forced to use the horrendous St. Pius X parish. Their chaplain was flung out of the archdiocese too. Millions of souls are at stake, and the archbishop of San Antonio will burn in Hell some day for rejecting God's will for the archdiocese.
- Goretti - March 12, 2017
Less than two years at Atonement? I don't blame you for your attitude. It took a lot longer than that for me to come to my senses about the parish, and even longer to actually bring myself to leave. They were very, very good at hiding anything less-than-savory about the parish or school and shamed parishioners into silence if any of them dared to question what was going on.
- Francis - March 17, 2017
Another fanciful and ridiculous allegation without credibility. It seems there is a lot of this going on from folks with a bone to pick and axe to grind.
It's really easy to say things like "they're good at hiding anything less-than-savory"… keyboard warriors, nothing more. Cheapshots, hit-and-runs – these come from miserable people who hold grudges.
Ive been there 10 years and going strong. I'd be the first to leave if any serious impropriety was going on.
- 4. Camper - March 10, 2017
I highly doubt the sexual allegations against Deacon Orr are credible. I bet it was fabricated by the Chancery to justify the conquest of the parish.

It's very important for the health of the Church to attend exclusively the Latin Mass. Even if you don't want to take the Holy Eucharist there, visit the chapel of the Society of St. Pius X in San Antonio. You will be rewarded.
- 5. Surfer - March 12, 2017
This Deacon has always been a problem in the parish. He is a very manipulative person who played favorites in his roles. Fr. Phillips simply didn't care.
- Francis - March 17, 2017
Really? He's been great. However, people have no shame in tearing down the reputation of another online without any hard evidence or credibility. It's real easy to say such-and-such a person "is a problem" or the parish "hides stuff" and run away isn't it? Sounds like the problem to me is very evident when I read this blog and it's comments: slanderers and gossips.
- Camper - March 18, 2017
Fr. Phillips cared enough to take time out with me for something proper that I needed, even though I don't think he ever learned my name. Calling Fr. Phillips uncaring is outrageous slander and completely out of touch with reality.
- 6. Steve - March 17, 2017
In order to think that he interpretation provided above is correct, we would need to consider the following:
1) why did the archdiocese not follow their own internal procedures in terms of handing things by going public immediately rather than meeting privately with the accused, doing an investigation, and then providing information if things were deemed to be credible from there? In short, it is because the intent is to harm Atonement as the parish is on the way out the door. The Archbishop hates the Ordinariate just as he hates the FSSP, etc. The chancery has already admitted they are not interested in investigating the claim they noted in their above message. Why would that be? Again, because this is about causing harm, not about truth.
2) in order to buy into the veracity of the claims noted above, I would have to accept the following all of the following, at the same time, as probable:
a. Parents who thought there was some form of impropriety on the part of Deacon Orr went to Father Phillips, and then were dismissed, and were so concerned that they left the parish, but took no other actions of any kind.
– If I thought and believed that someone had tried to hard my child, I sure as heck would not be stopped because one priest dismissed my concern.
b. That Father Phillips was willing to risk the state of the parish, school, his vocation, and potential freedom by dismissing concerns of parents about such issues due to friendship with Deacon Orr.
– Really? He was willing to risk his own status as a priest, the livelihood of his family, the future of the parish and school he had worked so hard for, and maybe even potential legal ramifications because of friendship? I am fortunate to have some very good friends. I have none that are good enough friends that I would let them get away with having an inappropriate relationship with a child under my care and in so doing risk everything that I believe in and stand for, as well as that of my family.
c. That Father Phillips and Father Moore would allow children to be at risk.
– This is hard to believe. Father Phillips loves kids, and dotes on them, and I have never heard anyone, even his detractors, claim otherwise.
d. That Father Phillips and Father Moore would allow their own children and grandchildren to be taught and ministered to by someone who multiple complaints of inappropriate behavior had been made against.
– Again. Extremely hard to believe. Father Phillips has some of his grandchildren in the school there. Father Moore's own children go to school there. I am supposed to believe that they would allow their children and grandchildren to be around someone who multiple complaints of this nature had been made against? Really?
All of the things I noted above defy logic by themselves. Taken together, they are beggar belief completely. This seems to be a smear job by people who simply don't like Father or Deacon Orr, and by an Archbishop who is motivated by greed and ideology rather than saving souls and glorifying God. In other words, I call BS until proven otherwise.
- Camper - March 18, 2017
Sounds like excellent analysis to me. Good for you.

It's been a while since I posted anything about what I've been eating (or planning to eat) so I figured I'd give you all and update!
It really has been quite the transition from basically being a homemaker to working not only nearly full time, but also an unpredictable and odd schedule. I'll be honest, it's sucked. Some nights I get home at 9pm or later. Some days I leave the house at 6am. It's kind of all over the place and I've really struggled to figure out not only what to eat, but how and when to eat. Mix in trying to get back into some sort of fitness routine and well…like I said before, you parents are amazing. Multitaskers to the MAX and I am so impressed.
That said, I've been really trying hard to eat at least 4 times a day. Breakfast, a shake, lunch and dinner.
Breakfast has generally been a couple of scrambled eggs with a piece of toast. I've experimented with having loaded oatmeal but it just doesn't hold me like eggs do. Oh, and coffee. I love my coffee. I don't feel like a zombie without it, but I really just love the smell, taste and the ritual of coffee.
Lunch has been a bit harder since on most days, I start work at 2pm. Often I'll sip on my smoothie for a couple hours, then go to my lunch around 4pm. Different types of 'loaded' salads have been great. Romaine, edamame, almonds and cabbage with carrot-ginger-miso dressing. Spinach with feta, cranberries, almonds and chickpeas with a balsamic or orange vinaigrette. Kale with black beans, tomatoes, baked yams, corn and bbq tofu with a homemade tofu ranch. They are filling and have really worked!
But. I'm getting bored. What do you do for lunch?
Dinners are the hardest thing. I'm so used to cooking at night. I love it. I love the time spent making nutritious food but getting home after 8pm just…doesn't work. So I've had to really be better about meal planning and preparing recipes that my husband can help with so that I don't turn into a hypoglycemia-monster when I get home at 8:30pm.
SO! Without further rambling – here is the plan for this week:
- Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai
- Cauliflower Alfredo (Oh. Em. Gee. This was delicious. Even better over quinoa and veg the next day!)
- Baked yams with black beans, salsa, green onions & Greek yogurt
- Ricotta & Spinach Shells (I'm using orichette because I have it)
- Quinoa Veggie Bowls with Baked Tofu & Miso Gravy (Miso Gravy from the Naam in Vancouver! Sent to us by lovely friends.)
- Stir Fried Asparagus, Chickpeas & Brown Rice with Lemon Tahini Sauce (This is a HUGE favorite in this house!)
- Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpeas with Lemon Dijon
What's on your menu? Do you have any favorite fast-and-furious meals that you can toss together in an instant?

Donating Your Voice for MND
Technology is changing and enhancing our lives today more so than in any other period of history. There are some amazing gadgets and software that is being used to make our world more accessible to disabled people than ever before. One research project which caught our eye was the VoiceBank project.
Many people lose their own voice through injury or neurodegenerative conditions and have to rely on technology to communicate. For example, 80-95% of people with Motor Neurone Disease will experience communication problems. (MND Assc) The problem with many of communication devices that is they have a limited range of pre-installed voices. The Voice Bank research project is looking at ways to make synthetic voices sound as much like the user's own voice as possible.
The VoiceBank is developing technology which can be used to record and synthetically recreate a person's voice before they lose it. Using a recording of an individual's voice, and those of accent matched voice donors from a volunteer bank, specialised software can automatically build their personalised synthetic voice. If speech has already started to deteriorate by the time of the recording, the software can also use more of these donor voices to repair any problems with the voice during the build process. The technology would also be a great comfort to families as they can once again hear their loved one's voice.
Andrew, part of the team at Euan's Guide, volunteered to have his voice recorded for the project. Andrew reported back that the process was really easy: 'I just had to read aloud the text which appeared on a screen into a microphone in a soundproof studio. It felt like I was on the radio!'. The research project is still looking for volunteers to assist their research by having their voice donated and added to the bank. If you are interested, please see their website for more information.
