NEW YORK ? At times, it's hard to tell the difference between Sofia Vergara and Gloria, the character she plays on ABC's hit comedy "Modern Family."
NEW YORK — At times, it's hard to tell the difference between Sofia Vergara and Gloria, the character she plays on ABC's hit comedy "Modern Family."
Both have gregarious personalities, an uproarious sense of humor, an enormous shot of sex appeal and daring fashion sense.
Now other women can be more like Vergara — or Gloria — thanks to the Colombian star's new clothing line at Kmart. The line features the kind of outfits that have made Vergara so popular on the red carpet and beyond — figure-hugging dresses, tight pants, bright colors and short skirts.
"We have a lot of very comfortable and wearable things that can be worn by a woman of every size," Vergara explained of her Sofia clothing.
"We have a lot of colorful things like a dress you can wear with tights, or you can wear under your leggings and still look well put together and sexy."
The Sofia line, available at affordable prices, also includes accessories, camisoles, shirts, skirts and jackets.
The 39-year-old Emmy-nominated actress talked more about her line, "Modern Family" and celebrating her "Latin-ness" during a stop at Kmart, accompanied by The Associated Press.
AP: Why did you want to design your own fashion collection?
Vergara: I always wanted to do it. I always had the thing for fashion, for beauty. But, I always wanted to team up with somebody like Kmart because that is what I wanted to create, a line that was affordable, that was for women of all sizes, every ethnicity, that could make them feel cute and beautiful without spending thousands of dollars.
AP: Do you wear items from your collection?
Vergara: I actually wear all of it. Everything (points to what she is wearing) is from Kmart. I love it. I wanted it to be pieces I would wear, pieces that I like. That's why I work with a very good group of designers and experts. I helped pick all of the materials, the models, the buttons, everything. So it was like the stuff that I like and the stuff that I wear.
AP: Have you ever thought about doing a high-end line?
Vergara: No, not really. I never was interested in that. I always wanted to create a line that was for my fans, for the girls that have always approached me and asked me, "Where did you get that outfit" or "I would have never thought to wear this with this. That is so great." I think that is even more fun, to be able to create cute clothes and they look like they were very high-end clothes, but they are not.
AP: Since you're considered a sex symbol by many fans, do you feel that you have to be perfectly dressed at all times?
Vergara: No, I don't think it is a responsibility, but I just like to be well put together. I am Latin. We grow up taking care of ourselves. I remember my whole life watching my mom getting ready to take us to school wearing rollers and putting her lipstick on. It is part of my culture, to dress like a woman and to be like a woman.
AP: With this fashion line and your success on "Modern Family," do you feel like you're opening doors for other Latina actresses?
Vergara: I think we had a great opening of the new season. I love that some networks now are trying to look for more Latin actresses to have on their networks because it is so amazing how the American public has accepted Gloria and her accent and all her Latin-ness, so it is great.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - John and Jim Harbaugh have received plenty of attention as opposing head coaches in the Super Bowl.
At their joint news conference Friday, someone asked the brothers if they could work together if either should be forced out of their current post. John Harbaugh, coach of the Baltimore Ravens, said, "There's no question about it." He said the brothers discussed the possibility in the past, but "it never really worked out, timing-wise."
He said he would work for Jim, or hire Jim. Jim Harbaugh says he would also enjoy working with his brother. Jim's son, Jay, currently works for John as a coaching intern with the Ravens. John and Jim Harbaugh will be on opposite sidelines Sunday.
After the news conference, both coaches posed for pictures with their parents and grandfather.

There's much more to Meatballs&Milkshakes than her name suggests.
Yes, some of her recipes follow that comfort-food sensibility: Comforting Tuna Noodle Casserole, Sicilian Tuna Meatballs, Mini Strawberry Rhubarb Pies. But Meatballs&Milkshakes -- a nonprofit fundraiser by day, fierce home cook and blogger by night – has more to offer than this. Her food, drawn from her favorite eating cities of New York, San Francisco, Paris, and Rome, is at once approachable and sophisticated: perfect for a weeknight meal, a springtime dinner party, and any and all occasions in between.
Case in point: Maloreddus with Anchovies, Orange, and Malvasia. Sounds fancy, huh? Yes, but it comes together quickly and easily, reminiscent of a hot afternoon in Sardinia with a view of the ocean. Meatballs&Milkshakes' other recipes – Cinnamon Chocolate Pudding with Sea Salt, Roasted Carrot and Butternut Squash Lasagna, and Shaved Asparagus and Mint Salad (pictured above), for example – follow that similar approach: good food, comfort food, but food with an extra dash of creativity, a spark of inspiration. Food that's a lot more than just meatballs and milkshakes.
Read our profile Q&A with Meatballs&Milkshakes below, and check out her blog here.
What do you cook when home alone?

Boogie Brozoski leads Lutheran over St. Mary's
Mired in a three-game losing streak, the Long Island Lutheran girls basketball team was looking for something -- anything, actually -- to stop the slide.
Lutheran coach Rich Slater apparently had the answer, surprising his team with brand- new pink uniforms after pregame warm-ups.
The switch had the desired effect as Lutheran overcame a 10-point deficit for a 49-44 win over visiting St. Mary's.
Lutheran sophomore guard Boogie Brozoski, who scored 12 of her 19 points in the fourth quarter, was especially surprised by the uniforms.
"He brought them out today to hype up our energy, because we needed it," Brozoski said. "I think that helped us, because we weren't expecting it."
Crusaders sophomore forward Taylor Byrne (five points, five rebounds) agreed. "Before the game, when we put on those uniforms, we were like, we're not losing," Byrne said. "Our pink uniforms, those show that we're different and we're still going to beat you."
Slater said he couldn't have been more pleased. "I had to do something emotional to get them going," he said.
Aside from wanting to play well in front of the home crowd in such stylish attire, Lutheran (7-3) was intent on proving it still should be considered one of the top teams in the region. And the Crusaders relished doing it against a quality opponent such as St. Mary's (8-3).
"If we would've played a weaker team and beat them, it wouldn't have meant as much," Brozoski said. "They beat St. Anthony's and we lost to St. Anthony's, so we had to prove that we're better than them and St. Anthony's . . . We wanted this one."
The turnaround began for Lutheran after St. Mary's, led by Jasmine Bryant (17 points) and Mei-Lyn Bautista (13 points), took a 25-15 lead with 7:02 remaining in the third period.
Lutheran outscored St. Mary's 27-16 in the next 13 minutes, taking a 42-41 lead on a three-pointer by Nani Redford (eight points). It was Lutheran's first lead since a 2-0 advantage after the opening tip.
Brozoski attributed the comeback to her team's energy.
"Usually when we're down 10, we're mad at each other, we're yelling at each other . . . I just feel like we had the energy," she said. "We just counted on each other. We supported each other the whole game."

Who said anything about science?I don't need to know everything, but I do need to know some things, for these I need to use reason.
What is wrong with Catholics posting on the Orthodox-Catholic discussion board?
I don't see anything wrong with this thread. It sounded like a genuine attempt at civil discussion on a topic that hasn't been discussed on this message board. I enjoy this site, which is why I'm still here after 3 or 4 years, but it's nice to have some new topics to discuss every once in a while.
As an ex-Protestant inquirer into Orthodoxy, I've never been able to see what all the fuss is about with Aquinas.  Did he get some things wrong? Sure--but so did just about every individual father in the East.  I still see much useful in Aquinas particularly in apologetics, and I appreciate Romuald's balanced thoughts on the matter.  IMO, I think there is room in a truly Catholic Orthodoxy for Aquinas and Palamas.  (But I'm not yet Orthodox, so what do I know...)
his approach was wrong; scholasticism
Could you be more specific? What element is just plain wrong?
Let us recall the scholasticism that dominated the Russian church in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Lol, some of those Russian theologians went further than St Thomas and, with the help of elaborate philosophical exercises, developed an enormous tradition of their own. One thing I recall off hand is that some of them, with the ideas of "form" and "matter" etc of a sacrament, said that in the sacrament of marriage, the priest dispenses grace to the two people, and thus the priest himself ratifies the marriage. This is HIGH sacramentalism. In the Roman scholastic tradition, the "sacrament" of marriage takes place between the two people, the priest is a mere witness to it, and he is not needed for the marriage to be valid. This is just an example. Of course the Russians have repented of their scholasticism of late. But it was almost as powerful in the Orthodox church as it was in the Catholic.
So you're arguing Russians used the same method and also ended up mistaken?
Yes. The Russians were scholastics like the Romans. Both ended up in error. St Thomas was the more levelheaded. He was a man of astounding spiritual intuition, theological depth, and philosophical insight, and so he is praised for being a guide in the chaos of the schools. Again I say chaos.Peace
This is what's lead to the break-up of Western Christianity. From the point that one man believed he could 'reason' for himself (Martin Luther) apart from the teachings of the Catholic Church. All men are gifted by reason. Humanism emerged.
I'm afraid that this is purely anachronistic bunk. Ever read Against All Heresies by St. Ireneaus? How about a report on what documents were found near Nag Hammadi? Christianity was just as factured in the 2nd century Near East as it was in the 17th century Europe, if not more so. Even in the New Testament period it is clear that there are lots of splinter groups and factions.
However it was only when they're put on a stable intellectual basis that they've flourished.
And you think that scholasticism provided a stable intellectual basis while early Christianity did not? Please, please, do not cut your other leg out from under yourself, there is no need to be so hasty!
I've never quite understood the Eastern animus against Thomism.
Probably because he uses scholasticism
And so do they, apparently. They are just more informal about it. Take the various trans-/cons- discussions we've had here over the years. Inevitably whoever argues for the "Orthodox" side ends up recapitulating Thomist transsubstantiation.
Although I am not particularly deeply learned of St. Aquinas, I have heard that he quotes many Church Fathers who were also mystics in his works. Does anyone also believe that we tend to characterize St. Aquinas a bit more narrowly than perhaps you truly merited?
It's enough for me to know that his methods were outside the norm for the Church that Jesus established.
Truly you are a person of very narrowly defined convictions, almost 'white-knuckled' in your lack of distinction and self identity. Truly either you are an orthodox saint or you are billboard advertising the newest thing which has been pasted onto your empty canvas. I pray that you are the former and that you pray for each of us who lack the smooth finish of such a complete conversion into the doctrines of Christ's Church.
The Holy Fathers teach that natural and metaphysical categories do not exist but speak rather of the created and uncreated.
You mean that I accept the Church Jesus established and reject the teachings of heterodox churches, then I am guilty of that. All forms of spirtuality outside His church are suspect.
Can you please help me to understand the difference betwee natural and created...metaphysical and uncreated?
How about if I rephrase what he said (I hope I'm not saying misinterpreting anyone): "The Holy Fathers talk about the created and the uncreated. They do NOT talk about the natural and metaphysical." The point is probably that talking about natural and metaphysical introduces terminology that is either overly logical and potentially flat out wrong ...
I am not responding to much in here (I'm lazy this early in the day... ).However, I find this an appropriate place to make my first post. I'm a Latin and a Thomist by philosophy. Even so, I don't hold to all he teaches myself...I think he got some wrong.Perhaps in a couple days I will be able to answer the part about metaphysical and physical, as that is something I enjoy studying.

NEW YORK — The hair jokes may have grown old, what with a slight fleck of gray peeking through his now shortened and tamed curls. The Dude nickname is pretty much over as well. And no longer is Gustavo Dudamel as tempted to head for Pink's hot dog stand after conducting at Walt Disney Concert Hall or the Hollywood Bowl as he was when he first became music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2009. He is more likely to rush home to be with his 20-month-old son, Martín, and wind down by doing his own cooking.
But however much the 31-year-old Venezuelan is now a well-established fixture on the classical music scene, not only hasn't he slowed down, but Dudamel has just completed what may be the single most audaciously ambitious year ever attempted by a conductor.
With little regard for what may seem realistic, he has even attempted this at a time when just about everyone in classical music is being asked to cut back and in the process helped make the L.A. Phil the most successful American orchestra. As for the rest of the world, Dudamel's remarkable capacity to think big and to get much of what he wants makes him impossible to ignore.

One specialized exam is the patent bar. If your undergraduate work included any STEM subject courses, this bar exam might help. In any case, though, any government job you apply for will not be a slam dunk. Just check out the website of any government agency. They want you to know more than the people that already work there. Heck, I trained and took the VITA exams. They were tedious and the passing score was 80. And, this was for a volunteer, part time position for the IRS. I passed the exams that took me many hours to complete and I only work 3 hours a week; until April 16th.
I feel sorry for the OP, but asking the same question repeatedly obviously isn't producing the information she(?) needs. If there is some reason that the OP is ineligible for the bar it would be best just to be up front about it. The mediator suggestion might work in some states, and could be a viable option.
I am not really sure who u are referring to as "the poster", but ive stated my situation and if you want to believe it you can, if not then don't. There are millions of people that come on to this site with questions and to make an assumption I am "this poster" or whoever you want to believe I am is not worth my time. I went to law school but do not want to practice like a lot of people out there due to various reasons. I just wanted to know what my options were. Thanks.
Hi Sollicitus:Yes. I am networking, by volunteering. After I pass the CLA exam, I will apply to the IRS, SEC, and SSA. I was in the Air Force and intend to sell the military time I spent and retire with a government pension.
I seem to have terrible financial karma: I had to leave Mercer Law School in 1988 when I did not maintain the required A average to keep a full scholarship, because I did not have enough money to pay on my own. I did not have enough money to fly to California to retake the FYLSE in 2009. I was accepted to a law school in 2010, but I could not come up with the money to move to Tennessee. I could not enroll in Concord's EJD program in 2011 because the financial aide officer there determined that I only have $8000 in federal loans available to me. I could not afford to come up with Mid Atlantic's $100.00 per module JD program because I received an untimely cut in pay. So, I had to discontinue studying with that school. The University of Leiden has just start charging fees to enroll in its external LLD program.The Blackstone paralegal program is one of the least expensive online programs that made me eligible to sit for the CLA exam. I paid 59.00 down and 59.00 a month. However, I have found that I have had to put in many, many more study hours beyond what the school offers so that I can pass the CLA exam the first time. I have been studying for that test for 18 months now. I think I will be ready to take the exam in September of this year.I was successful with the VITA exams because the online training was free.I do have a degree in accounting from Devry University; another one in languages from Hunter College; and a masters degree in social work from NYU. I left the Air Force as a captain.

Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome has been made the odds-on 3-5 favorite to win Saturday's $1.5 million Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course. The chestnut colt will take on nine challengers, including one filly, in the 1 3/16-mile second leg of the Triple Crown.
Trained by Art Sherman and ridden by Victor Espinoza, California Chrome will start from post 3 in the 10-horse field. This will be the first time the colt makes a start with less than four weeks between races.
"I really think two weeks from the Derby into the Preakness, I would've loved to have seen at least three," Sherman recently said. "I just think, it takes a horse about 11 days to completely recover out of a race, before they're blood level, everything is right, and it's pushing the envelope a little bit."
California Chrome, owned by Steven Coburn and Perry Martin, by winning the Preakness and Belmont Stakes on June 7 can become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.
"I don't think you'll see him far off the pace," Sherman noted. "I'd like to have a little speed upfront, which the way the race looks like it's going to unfold; it looks like two to three speed horses in there. My personal, you know, experience of watching these races, if he can come out of there and be fourth going around the turn and fourth down the back side and have a clear path, you're going to see old Chrome perform."
The 77-year-old Sherman became the oldest trainer to ever win the Kentucky Derby and California Chrome became the first California-bred 3-year-old to claim the race since Decidedly in 1962. Espinoza can win his second Preakness, having first captured the race in 2002 aboard War Emblem.
California Chrome is undefeated this season in four starts for $2,337,800 and has won seven of 11 lifetime starts for $2,552,650.
The chestnut 3-year-old won the Santa Anita Derby on April 5 by 5 1/4 lengths in his final Derby prep. He began 2014 with a 5 1/2-length victory in the California Cup Derby at Santa Anita on Jan. 25 and won the San Felipe Stakes at the track by 7 1/4 lengths on March 8. He finished 2013 by winning the King Glorious Stakes by 6 1/4 lengths in Hollywood Park's final stakes on Nov. 22.
"He's run on three different racetracks already and won. I'm not making any excuses. If you've got the horse and he's got his kind of talent, you can run about anything," Sherman observed.
Representing the ladies will be Breeders' Cup winner Ria Antonia. Trained by Tom Amoss, the filly will start from post 6 with Hall of Fame jockey Calvin Borel riding. Borel won the race in 2009 with champion filly Rachel Alexandra. Ria Antonia is the 30-1 longshot in the field.
Ria Antonia, owned by Loooch Racing Stable and Christopher T. Dunn, is coming off a sixth-place finish to Untapable in the Kentucky Oaks on May 2. She began the year with a fourth behind Untapable in the Rachel Alexandra Stakes at Fair Grounds and was second behind Fashion Plate in the Santa Anita Oaks.
As a 2-year-old, Ria Antonia was declared the winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies race after finishing second. She was elevated to first following the disqualification of She's A Tiger to runner-up. Ria Antonia has earned $1,254,140 with two wins in eight starts and was voted Canada's 2013 champion 2-year-old filly.
Here is the field for the 139th Preakness Stakes in post position order: Dynamic Impact, 12-1, Miguel Mena; General a Rod, 15-1, Javier Castellano; California Chrome, 3-5, Victor Espinoza; Ring Weekend, 20-1, Alan Garcia; Bayern, 10-1, Rosie Napravnik; Ria Antonia, 30-1, Calvin Borel; Kid Cruz, 20-1, Julian Pimentel; Social Inclusion, 5-1, Luis Contreras; Pablo Del Monte, 20-1, Jeffrey Sanchez and Ride On Curlin, 10-1, Joel Rosario.
Post time for the Preakness will be approximately 6:25 p.m. ET.
The weather for Saturday will be partly cloudy with a 10 percent chance of rain and a post time temperature near 69.

The difference between both session_unset and session_destroy is as follows:
session_unset just clears out the session for usage. The session is still on the users computer. Note that by using session_unset, the variable still exists. session_unset just remove all session variables. it does not destroy the session....so the session would still be active.
Using session_unset in tandem with session_destroy however, is a much more effective means of actually clearing out data. As stated in the example above, this works very well, cross browser. session_destroy is destroy the session. session_destroy() to kill all session information.....This is the more secure function to use.

I don't know that I'd watch a show that personifies the internet like this, but at least now, thanks to Jon-Lock, I know what such a thing would look like.
As I'm sure the "Chrome" man up above lets on, it's pretty anime. But, hey, it's also kind of cool, no? Maybe it's just that Chrome drives a motorcycle. Or maybe it's that most of these characters are kind of attractive. Oh, who am I kidding? I'd totally watch this hypothetical anime.
In any case, here are some more:
Plus, some group shots!
Hey look, it's Facebook.
And in case you wanted to see the full picture of Chrome...

I started off with a dream journal, writing some dreams down but... (feel free to skip this part)
03.December.2012 (Monday Morning)
I am behind the building I used to live, and my grandma is in the lower apartment, but it isn't really an apartment. It's a school.
DREAM NOTES: Buildings that are something in reality take a different role in dreams.
05.December 2012 (Wednesday Morning)
I am driving a virtual car in a game on some sort of force feedback steering wheel that doesn't really make sense, it's kind of like made of wire and I'm holding it in reverse with the wire spun around cause that's how the professionals are supposed to hold it, then I turn it around and I feel the steering wheel change the way it behaves, I feel it's vibration and force in my hand as I go. The game is a training course, but it sorta feels like I'm driving the car in first person too when I'm playing, like I'm actually there in the car, then the instructor tells us it's delayed for today.
- Objects that don't make sense made of illogical shapes, acting abnormal like the wire steering wheel.
- Being in both third person and first person, in this case the game.
- My hands are busy holding the steering wheel so I couldn't focus on checking reality with my hands (brains way of protecting itself against my reality checks ?)
disappointed i hadn't succeeded even though i was trying really hard, losing my faith that it will ever happen to me plus some other real life issues came so i gave up for a while cause i wouldn't be able to dedicate enough focus on it, then one night...
09.December 2012 (Wednesday Morning) 5:00 AM
I am in a room that has orange tinted mood and filled with people , like a club or something, suddenly out of nowhere I realize I am dreaming and I become happy and start dancing and singing "I am dreaming" around the room, then I continue around the room while trying to calm myself down so I don't get overexcited and wake myself up and I notice really weird looks on my dream characters, they were all staring at me really weird, like appalled that I was lucid, then I notice Will Smith was dancing on a table so I grab his leg while dancing and singing with him, "I am dreaming, I am dreaming" then decide to do a few reality checks in front of a mirror, I look at my fingers and whoa, lots of them inter-weaved between each other about 8 of them, then I look in the mirror and my reflection was all wobbly like parts of my body were missing or the mirror was really broken, I notice these and say "haha, yes this is a dream, this is a dream" then...
I wake up, with a huge smile on my face thinking "Fuck Yeah" it finally happened.
DN: For the life of me I cannot remember the previous scenario, I know it's there and I was dreaming something else before, but I can't remember it and I also can't remember how I became lucid, it's like a new scenario was created for me and i was awarded lucidity. Also do you think it's possible this was a semi-lucid dream ? I mean I was pretty lucid and had full control of myself body and mind also my scenario was pretty clear although I didn't spend enough time to clarify it a bit, actually stare and observe the details.
I write this down then i go back to sleep, waking up cause my alarm clock goes off at 7:30 AM, then i set it to snooze every 10 minutes having a different dream each time i go back to sleep, must have had about 10 that night, but i was too lazy to write all of them down then after a bunch of these dreams...
Second lucid dream, same night,
I am walking up some stairs in a hospital and all of a sudden I realize I'm dreaming, again for no reason, I look at my hand but it has only 5 clearly defined fingers though my hand was kinda glowing like bloom effect in a videogame, so I think to myself, damn my brain is getting devious, it made my hand show 5 proper fingers even though I knew for certain I was dreaming, then I wake up cause the alarm goes off.
DN: - again brain trying to protecting itself against my reality checks?
I do kind of have a theory of why it happened for me, in the break from trying to LD i was still looking up stuff on it saw a few episodes of Fringe related to dreams and this period kind of solidified my belief that i will dream because of the whole repetitive action theory. Same for piano, at first i didn't have any belief i will ever play with both hands and after enough practice it solidified in me and i could play with ease. The whole idea that if you obsess about something with enough passion it sticks in you and eventually becomes a reality, i started believing with certainty(without even realizing) i will LD because it would have been illogical not to happen when proper obsession was dedicated to it.
"If you truly believe in it, it will happen, 100% certain"

The stories of the martyrs who have gone to their deaths in the name of Christianity are as old as Christianity itself. It can be tempting, therefore, to think of those in history who have died for their religious beliefs as living "back then" or in another, more barbaric, time.
But Mariam Ibrahim reminds us, sadly, that this is far from the truth. Locked up in a Sudanese prison, the 27-year-old woman is on death row for refusing to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam. Ibrahim has every reason to want to live. She is married to a loving husband; she has a 20-month-old son; and, only last month — her legs still shackled in chains — she gave birth to a baby girl.
Pressure for Ibrahim's release from the international community has been strong, but while the Sudanese government has hinted at releasing her, it has not yet done so.
What makes Ibrahim's story so tragic, though, is that it's far from being an isolated case. In "The Global War on Christians," published last fall, John Allen states that since the time of Jesus, the world has seen 70 million Christian martyrs — and fully 50 percent of those have lived in the 20th century.
In fact, "More Christians were killed because of their faith in the twentieth century than in all previous centuries combined," Allen writes.
He also includes the statistic that Christians have been the target of 80 percent of all religious discrimination in 139 countries around the world. Attacks on Christians jumped 309 percent in seven years and more than 100 million have been persecuted. But despite those numbers, it can be difficult for those not faced with persecution in daily life to grasp the sheer enormity of the suffering. Pope Francis, in several instances, has attempted to draw the world's attention to the plight of Christians. "There are many brothers and sisters nowadays who bear witness to Jesus and are persecuted," the pope said during a daily homily in March. "Some cannot even carry around a Bible. ... They can't wear a crucifix."
With the advent of the contraception mandate interwoven with the Affordable Care Act, religious liberty efforts have been a cornerstone of the agenda of the U.S. bishops for the last several years — both at home and abroad.
"We bishops, as shepherds of one of the most richly blessed communities of faith on the planet, as pastors who have spoken with enthusiastic unity in defense of our own religious freedom, must become advocates and champions for these Christians whose lives hang in the balance, as we dare not allow our laudable battles over religious freedom at home to obscure the actual violence being inflicted on Christians elsewhere," outgoing USCCB president Cardinal Timothy Dolan told a gathering of fellow bishops last November.
That's why it's vital that we pay attention to Mariam Ibrahim's story. She puts a modern-day face to what it means to be a martyr and to stand up for your faith until the point of death. Her two young children, incarcerated with her, only make it all the more critical that she be freed soon.
So here's our invitation: Mobilize your parish, your families, your college roommates, your youth groups or your senior center. Write letters, sign petitions and include Ibrahim and her family in your prayers (see Page 6 for details). In these small ways, we, too, defend our Christian faith.
And in doing so, we answer Pope Francis' challenge as to whether or not, like Ibrahim, "we have within us the desire to be courageous in bearing witness to Jesus."

The creation of dictionaries and grammars of languages in the Americas, Asia and India is one of the accomplishments for which Jesuit missionaries of past centuries were known. In order to bring the Gospel to the people, the missionaries first learned the local language. Then, having put it into written form, they could teach it to other missionaries.
Several months ago, at a conference on local churches around the world at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, Calif., I came across a modern variation of this traditional Jesuit enterprise. Simon Nsielanga, a young Jesuit Congolese student there, is now teaching others his own language, Nzadi. This obscure language is spoken in fishing villages along the Kasai River in Congo in the southwestern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Simon is from one of those villages, Bundu.
Father Nsielanga is one of about 4,000 native speakers of Nzadi, and as far as he knows, he is the only Nzadi speaker in the United States except for the 10 students, their teacher and teaching assistant at the University of California in Berkeley who are learning the language in a course entitled Introduction to Field Methods, in the linguistics department.
How did this come about? A friend of Father Simon's from Zambia introduced him to Professor Larry Hyman, and the exciting prospect of studying a language never before studied presented itself. Hyman explained: "There is nothing like the joy of discovering a language from scratch. We are putting Nzadi on the map." Yes, Nzadi has now been added to the Ethnologue, the major database of human languages that currently lists 7,358 languages around the world.
Yet, sad to note, an estimated one-third of these languages are in danger of becoming extinct as children no longer learn the language of their parents. If these languages are lost before being recorded and studied, then the culture, the wisdom and experience, the ways of thinking and imagining that go with that language will be gone forever.
I asked Simon how the students have been progressing. He found them enthusiastic and challenged by this most unusual opportunity, noting that one difficulty is that Nzadi is a tonal language, in which change of pitch can make a great difference. He admires the energy and intelligence of the students but admits that he needs patience with them in learning the difficult tones.
Where is it all going? Professor Hyman hopes to assemble and publish a lexicon and grammar of Nzadi with the help of the students' reports and papers. Already a lexicon, or dictionary, of 1,023 words has been put together.
Simon has found great personal satisfaction in this classroom opportunity. "I am happy to share this culture with the world, to preserve my culture," he said. After completing his current graduate studies in social ethics, Simon hopes to return to Bundu, learn more about his culture, collect stories and proverbs, and eventually write a history of the Nzadi people.
Aware of dangers to planet earth, we frequently hear today of the loss of plant and animal species. Yet we also read of the discovery of new species. So too, the discovery of a new language or the preservation of a dying language in tapes, videos and books is worth celebrating. If each of the students in this linguistics class were to explore and document another language with the methodology they are learning as they study Nzadi, then 10 endangered languages might be preserved.
Mi épaya matond is the Nzadi expression for giving thanks. Surely this is one way that Professor Hyman and his students express gratitude to their teacher, Father Simon.

Restaurant Review
Taj Palace
A rare treat
India's cuisine may be the most enigmatic in the world. Using complex blends, the aromatic food introduces diners to exotic spices like asafetida, while making familiar flavors, like garlic, taste new. The nearly miraculous sum—which spans a robust array of vegetables, legumes, dairy products and cooking methods—is greater than its many remarkable parts, somehow avoiding ending up as a jumbled, muddled mass.
Inhaling the fragrance that wafts up from these dishes can border on overwhelming, yet I'm often caught off guard by the subtlety of its flavors. How could what I've smelled and what I've tasted come from the same food?
Wrapped up in Indian perfumes and flavors, I sometimes feel as though I've betrayed my first loves, French and Italian. I bury the guilt under paneer and ghee and silently beg for forgiveness. Considering all this, my expectations were high as I took my seat at Taj Palace.
The interior, with its muted colors and clean design, is best described as understated elegance. White tablecloths flank a buffet line and call to mind an old-school country club. The divided dining room fosters a cozy feeling.
On my first visit I hit the buffet. There were various curries that were tolerably piquant and fresh naan that was soft and chewy. I tried everything and overall was pleased with the quality and selection. Nothing was dried out or carelessly prepared.
It was surprising to see goat on the buffet. There it was, paired with a vivid curry, for the unsuspecting to ladle onto their plates. And ladle they should, as it was an excellent example of how delicious goat can be when it's not gamy. I even went back for another helping of succulent hunks, then washed my marathon meal down with a mango lassi on ice. The pureed mango-and-yogurt drink was so good I sucked the glass dry.
The dish was infused with a lingering zest that warmed my mouth but didn't overstay its welcome.
Returning for dinner, the saag paneer (cheese and spiced greens) was thick and creamy. The dish was infused with a lingering zest that warmed my mouth but didn't overstay its welcome. An order of samosas (fried patties stuffed with potato) had a nice kick to it, and the potatoes were tender without being mushy.
Tandoori chicken, pulled from hot ovens, displayed delicate spice and was replete with moistness. In fact, all Taj's meats had a characteristic moistness.
I enjoyed everything I tried. The service was as perfect as the food. Refills were prompt, and politeness could be this place's trademark. Everything about Taj was seamless and brilliantly executed.
But one thing really bugged me. I usually appreciate a quiet restaurant, but Taj had an unsettling silence—one brought on by too few customers. At lunch, the only other customers seemed to know the owners. I saw a few occupied tables at dinner, but the dining room was nowhere near capacity. I can't understand how a restaurant so expertly executed could be so neglected by the hungry masses.
Perhaps it's an issue with location. Businesses in strip malls, like Taj Palace, have an uphill battle to prove they're more than their real estate suggests. And if the new kid on the block doesn't have a familiar face, he's easily ignored.
Whatever the reason, I'd like to make a sort of plea to those looking for a good meal. If Albuquerque is to move forward and further diversify its dining scene, we'll all have to do our part and at least give its fledglings a try. How many times have you promised yourself you'd eat at some new restaurant only to find its closed doors before you got around to it? Good food is an endangered species in these parts, and Taj Palace is an outstanding restaurant.
The Alibi recommends:
• Saag paneer
• Goat curry
• Tandoori chicken
• Mango lassi
Taj Palace, 1435 Eubank NE, 296-0109. Hours: lunch 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m; dinner 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Open every day. Ambience: curry and class. Price range: buffet $7.95 to $8.95; dinner $7.50 ( dal makhani ) to $17.95 (mixed grill). Credit cards, large parties, buffet.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Manulife Financial Corp (MFC.TO) said on Thursday that it had promoted Paul Rooney, currently the head of the Canadian division, to chief operating officer as Canada's largest life insurer struggles to be profitable in weak financial markets.
Manulife, the owner of U.S. insurer John Hancock, said it had decided on Rooney's successor as general manager of the Canadian division and would announce the appointment shortly.
Rooney, who joined Manulife as an actuarial student in 1986, will be responsible for corporate strategy and development, capital solutions, human resources and global resourcing.
Last week, Manulife reported a smaller third-quarter loss due to improved financial markets-related results but delayed its profit goal of C$4 billion by a year to 2016, citing macroeconomic conditions.
The loss, which came amid stronger-than-expected results at Canadian insurance rivals Sun Life Financial (SLF.TO) and Great-West Lifeco (GWO.TO), put additional pressure on Manulife's already struggling shares.
Manulife warned last quarter that it was rethinking its goal of C$4 billion in net profit by 2015.
The company now expects to hit the C$4 billion level by 2016 and says the goal is for "core" rather than net profit. It said net profit could be lower than the core earnings, which exclude the direct impact of financial markets as well as certain other items.
The shift is just the latest setback for the company, which has endured sharp quarterly losses over the past four years due to the impact of weak stock markets and low bond yields.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)-- The Federal Reserve should continue to steadily reduce the size of its monthly purchases by $10 billion per meeting, said Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, on Monday. "I am very happy in doing this in measured steps," Fisher said in an interview on the Fox Business Network. "The gas tank is full, there is no need to keep adding to it," he said. Fisher said that business leaders are much more positive about the economic outlook than they were before. He repeated that the major factors holding down the economy were uncertainty about future tax and spending policies and worries about regulatory overload. Fisher is a voting member of the Fed's policy committee this year.

News Feature
Dying Blue Collars Green
Youth and city councilors ally for green jobs training
It started with a survey asking several hundred of Albuquerque's youth a straight question: "What concerns you?" Most common answer: the environment. Their answer has since spawned an alliance between a group of young people and four city councilors, pushing to pass legislation addressing their concern.

DATELINE: DENMARK—A note to impassioned animal activists: Eating household pets may not be the best way to further your cause. A group of journalism students in Arhus had their Facebook accounts closed after they uploaded 30 pictures of themselves cooking and eating a cat (their group profile also included a recipe for a dish called "litter box"). The cat was feral and had been shot by a farmer attempting to slim the number of felines on his property; it was then prepared by a professional chef before the group sat down to dinner. The purpose of the experiment was to draw attention to the abuse of food animals. "We wanted people to think about what it was they were putting in their mouths," said group member Laura Bøge Mortensen, according to the Copenhagen Post. "It's hypocritical for us to spend thousands of kroner on our pets, yet buy the cheapest pork from Netto that comes from pigs that have lived a horrid life. And just why is it that it's worse to eat a cat than a pig?" Still, the meal wasn't without squeamishness. "We had to count to three before we sat down to eat, and I wouldn't really say that we stuffed our face," Mortensen said. "Everyone did take a bite though."

Have you ever come across a great reference book or photo collection that you were really excited about, and then been deflated to learn the only access was through a large university or other non-genealogy archive that you are unfamiliar with? The questions rush into your mind:
- Where do I start when I want to access their collections?
- Who do I contact?
- Would I even be allowed to access these collections if I don't attend the University?
As genealogists we feel pretty comfortable in our own territory - the Family History Library, our local public library, genealogy and historical society archives, the county courthouse, etc. But the idea of figuring out how to maneuver our way through the unknown territory of a library at a university we didn't attend or another archive where the focus is not genealogy (gasp!) can cause us to click away from that exciting find, and all the gems it may contain.
In the newest Genealogy Gems Premium Podcast episode we give you the answer to this dilemma: Think like an archivist!
In episode #56 archivist and genealogist Nancy Loe MA, MLS gives you the inside scoop on how to bridge the communication gap and get access to the records you want in unfamiliar territory. She'll answer some of our most common questions and empower us to take the plunge and ask for what we want. Nancy has been featured on the Travel Channel, PBS, CNBC providing her archival expertise, and now she's on the Premium show to assist you!
Also in this episode I have a bunch of gems for you:
- The latest news on the Library of Congress and FamilySearch
- Updates on Google Earth Street View and how to locate videos that will enrich your family history with almost no effort on your part!

Luis Suarez unveiling blocked by FIFA
Barcelona will not be allowed to publicly unveil new 75 million-pound signing Luis Suarez while he remains banned for biting, FIFA has confirmed.
- LIVE: Transfer Talk
- Hunter: Questions to answer for Suarez
- Ledwith: Risk in signing Suarez depends on player
Suarez, 27, is due to complete his move from Liverpool in the next few days, and the Catalan club have previously introduced star signings, including Cesc Fabregas and Neymar, to a packed Camp Nou. Some 90,000 filled the stadium for the unveiling of the latter in June 2013.
There have been suggestions Barcelona could hold a similar event for Suarez in a non-football venue to get around the four-month ban imposed on the Uruguay international for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini.
However, FIFA has now confirmed that any such event will not be permitted while the ban remains in force.
- FIFA bans Luis Suarez for four months
- PL chief: Suarez an accident waiting to happen
- No 'bite clause' in Suarez's Barca contract
- Toe Poke: Fan gets dodgy Suarez tattoo
- Thompson: Portrait of a serial winner
- Brewin: No sympathy for Luis Suarez
- Thompson: Uruguay comes to Suarez defence
- Marcotti: Suarez in another bite storm
FIFA's head of media Delia Fischer told a news conference: "The ban relates to all football-related activity. He cannot be in a football-related public event irrespective of the venue.
"He cannot even be involved in a football-related charity event.''
Suarez had his appeal against the four-month ban, plus a nine-match international ban and a 100,000 Swiss franc fine, rejected outright by FIFA's appeals committee.
He is expected to take his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in a final bid to reduce the sanctions that, as they stand, will keep him out of club football until the end of October.
Suarez can also ask CAS to put his ban on hold pending its final decision, but that would risk him missing more matches rather than a chunk of preseason if the court upholds the sanctions.
FIFA's original ban took into account that Suarez had shown no remorse for the biting incident, his third such attack in less than four years.
• 31 - Premier League goals, winning the Golden Boot.
• 12 - Most assists in the Premier League.
• 24 - Scored the most goals from inside the box.
• 4 - Scored the most goals from counterattacks.
• 9 - Had the most shots that hit the woodwork.
• 3 - Most penalties won in the Premier League.
• 237 - Attempted more dribbles than any other player.
The player then issued an official apology but it did not lead to any change of mind by the FIFA appeals panel.
Suarez's lawyer on Friday claimed the punishment was "blatantly draconian, totalitarian and fascist.''
Alejandro Balbi told Spanish radio station Cope: "The right of a footballer to work is being violated, and football should be worried about that.
"The nine [international] games may seem excessive, but the fact that he can't watch a game of football, or train or carry out his job, we are talking about unpleasant things.''

Anything in English or at least with English subtitles? I feel weird listening to hardcore metal without knowing for sure that what I'm listening to isn't an invocation to Satan or something.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePJ5vsdErPUsomething more
I'm not bragging, but I am one of the meanest, fastest, double bassiest metal drummers you could ever meet. I've played in death metal bands (as well as other genres), toured around the US and I've been involved in the recording of 7 albums. I'm so glad all that foolishness is behind me now. It is like a demon that clung to me for years. The memories of the horrible lyrics I listened to as a younger guy still haunt me. They pop up in my head during prayer. I don't see how anyone could practice the Jesus Prayer then go turn on some Cannibal Corpse, or any fake metal junk with "Christian" lyrics. The anger produced by the obviously very angry music actually effected me physically. The temptations of the dark clubs and bars I played in are more than I could endure, and any God-seeking Christian should avoid places like that. I'm just glad that I'm Orthodox now. It is like therapy for my horribly sinful soul. It will take a long time for me to recover. I just hope my children don't do what I did. I'm not a fundamentalist or anything, but I would caution all you metal/punk/black metal people to ..... grow up.
Cannibal Corpse is simply a crappy band and always have been. I think you missed out on the good stuff.
Orthodox doom
The anger produced by the obviously very angry music actually effected me physically.
Quote from: stpaulphilip on March 01, 2012, 06:14:18 PM The anger produced by the obviously very angry music actually effected me physically. By any chance your not reffering to high blood pressure and/or fatigue are you?
Foolish are the silly people that listen to it and imitate the growling noises and mimic blast beats with their hands, etc. It is for boys rebelling against their parents while growing their first pubic hairs who have see-through mustaches who haven't had a hair cut in a couple months and brush it off their forehead constantly, and reeeaaally want a tattoo and are considering getting huge holes put in their ears because they inwardly love jungle type paganism and tribal tattoos. If you have graduated from high school, or are over the age of 17, and still imitate growling voices while you drive home from your job at BK and get shivers when a blast beat happens, you are a looooser.
I, for one, can't stand heavy metal or hard rock, it just disgusts me. But if somebody else likes it, fine with me, I don't mind (as long as I have earplugs or can escape to a different building/city/state/galaxy).

So far the music has been a bit of a let down for me this year...Lazarus A.D. - Black Rivers Flow - Nothing really stands out except the title songBecoming the Archetype - Celestial Compilation - I like this album, but then I'm not a big BtA fan, so I went into the album not expecting a lotDestruction - Day of Reckoning - Can't get into itSymphony X - Iconoclast - Can't get into itObscura - Omnivium - Can't get into itOnslaught - Sounds of Violence - Can't get into itHavok - Time Is Up - A moderate let down after a good debutBeliever - Transhuman - A moderate let down after their awesome comeback album GabrielI still have to buy albums by Opeth, Mastodon, and Megadeth, though based on the clips I've heard I don't have high expectations... [I yield the soapbox]
I think this is going to be a bad year for me and metal.
Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, the creative force behind the Brooklyn-based black-metal band Liturgy, has gone to extravagant lengths to ensure that the hardcore metal community utterly loathes him. The band performs black-metal festivals in jeans and street clothes, instead of the normal corpse paint, to heckling and jeers. In interviews, he talks about metal's ability to induce "disorientation from ordinary, end-directed existence" like some black-metal David Foster Wallace. He uses the music, which has virulent opposition to Christianity encoded in its DNA, as a vehicle to explore Big Ideas about, among other things, Christian redemption. Aesthethica, their second album, comes out on Thrill Jockey, home to the Sea and Cake, High Places, Fiery Furnaces, and absolutely zero other metal bands. Oh, and if you ask, he's also happy to share stories about hanging out with Ezra Koenig when they both went to Columbia University.
Nationalist fantasy often cloak with Religion. In the end it is about killing other who don't belong in fantasy. Rossia, Ukraina, even Bulgaristan indulge in fantasy today. Serbi and Hrvati already indulge. Great voina in Yugoslavia many peoples die, no homes. All bad.
I wish I had never started this thread, just so we're all clear on that. This will be my last post in the thread, in the sincere hope that it will die a quick death.
