Sunfood Superfoods Chlorella Tablets 250 mg - 8 oz (227 g)
Sunfood Superfoods Chlorella Tablets are an algae, a tiny, microscopic, single-celled plant that grows in fresh water. Sunfood Superfoods Chlorella Tablets strain is called Chlorella pyreneidosa. The abundance of chlorophyll gives Sunfood Superfoods Chlorella Tablets a deep emerald-green color. Chlorophyll plays a critical role in human health as it closely resembles the hemoglobin (red blood cells) in our bodies and is effective against pathogenic bacteria. Sunfood Superfoods Chlorella Tablets can help strengthen our immune system and is alkaline forming food known to help slow the aging process, stabilize blood pressure and prevent anemia. How to use ChlorellaUnlike many green foods, and particularly algae, our Chlorella tablets taste great. You may find yourself wanting to munch on them like nuts or seeds as they have a unique earthy, nutty flavor. You'll find yourself craving them. What that really means is that your body is craving the nutrients in chlorella. The recommended intake is 6 to 10 tablets a day but since chlorella is a 100% natural food (not a drug) more can be taken. It is not uncommon for people to take 20 tablets per day or more. Again, chlorella is a food so one can take as much as they feel comfortable with. Tablets can be eaten with food or on an empty stomach. The Sunfood DifferenceSunfood Superfoods Chlorella Tablets are processed from 100% raw chlorella powder. Cultivated in outdoor, mineral-rich, fresh water pools, the chlorella is gently dried after harvest and the cell walls are broken using a unique chemical-free, centrifuge process. The remaining powder is then stamped into tablets using just enough pressure to hold the tablets together. There are absolutely no binders, fillers, or additives. The entire process is carefully monitored by microbiologists to ensure the highest standards of quality and hygiene.There are many strains of chlorella on the market but Chlorella pyreneidosa is known as the King of Chlorella, and is the only species that contains significant quantities of CGFs (Chlorella Growth Factors) which nourish and replenish the body and can activate T-cells and B-cells which help the body fight against viruses, cancers and bacteria. CGFs are not found anywhere in nature except in chlorella. Benefits of Chlorella

Howard hitting free throws at a higher rate
DEC 30, 2012 11:30a ET
If the center has a major flaw to his game, it's at the line, where he's a career 58.4% shooter. Earlier in the season, Howard's percentage had dipped to 48% as teams like the Orlando Magic successfully beat the Lakers, sending Howard to the line intentionally in volume.
In November, Howard shot only 45.1 percent (60-133) from the line. He improved upon that dramatically in December at 56.7 percent (77-136). Over the team's past 10 games, Howard hit 61.2 percent from the line (52-85).
"He was effective. You know, he made his free throws," said Coach Terry Stotts on Friday after the Lakers had beaten the Portland Trail Blazers. "We didn't foul him hard enough so he had and-ones and he was very effective."
The Blazers tried to intentionally foul Howard in the first half but he knocked down four in a row.
"His presence on the defensive end is invaluable and we have to have it," said D'Antoni. "He was good on the offensive end also, hitting foul shots when they were fouling him, that's huge."
Howard has put a lot of work into improving his free-throw shooting. The time off after surgery didn't help, along with the fatigue he still feels in his back throughout games. One recent adjustment has helped; Howard has taken a step back off the line, reminiscent of former Lakers guard Nick Van Exel.
Through the years, Howard has met with numerous shooting coaches, including free-throw experts Tim "The Target" Sullivan and Ed Palubinskas.
Sullivan has broken down the art of free-throw shooting into basic physics (vectors, standard deviation, the quadratic equation, etc.).
"He really can shoot," said Sullivan of Howard. "It's not reported enough."
Sullivan and Howard spent some time together in 2011 at the Norman Howard School working on fundamentals. A clip without audio can be seen on YouTube.
As the Lakers round into form with the returns of Steve Nash and Pau Gasol from injury, Howard's improved form might help the Lakers continue to win at a high rate, taking six of their last seven.

We know empirically that Mark Jackson's strategy to foul Dwight Howard incessantly during the Golden State Warriors' hosting of the Orlando Magic on Thursday didn't work: the center scored 43 points, and Orlando won. We know that by the numbers, fouling Dwight made Howard more efficient than he'd been from the floor, and that if the effort intended to discourage the Magic from feeding Howard, it would have meant more possessions for the more efficient Orlando supporting cast.
Jackson doesn't care. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
"I can understand people thinking, 'Why?' But don't get caught up in the free throws. Think about the times we didn't foul him. It was dunks, hooks, plays at the rim. He's a great player and a bad free-throw shooter. We were giving ourselves the best possible chance by messing up their rhythm."
The Warriors were leading by eight when the team began hacking Howard in the second quarter. Orlando almost immediately caught up.
Golden State employed the strategy for basically the full second half; Dwight was 5-12 from the floor in the first half, and 7-10 in the second half.
Mess up the Magic's rhythm? In the fourth quarter, when Golden State fouled Dwight the most, Orlando scored 37 points in 24 possessions, or 1.54 points per possession, which is like Max Roach-level rhythm.
It failed, Coach. There's no need to defend it; there's only one Dwight in the league, and it's unlikely we'll see Golden State trot out the strategy again. Just walk away and leave that steaming mess on Thursday night.

Human remains found in Logan County could mean the end of a missing person's case. Deputies from the Logan County Sheriff's Department stumbled across the remains of a man believed to be missing since June.
The findings started with a neighbor's tip about an abandoned and wrecked ATV in a wooded area. According to deputies, the neighbor believed the ATV was stolen. However, when Logan County deputies arrived on scene they discovered more than a wrecked four-wheeler. They uncovered the remains of a human body.
"It appears for some it might be a mechanical reason, they may have lost lighting. And it appears to be an ATV accident," said Corporal M.C. Sutherland of the Logan County Sheriff Department.
An accident that could close a missing person's case.
James Marcum disappeared on June 4th. According to deputies he left his house on a red Honda ATV heading toward Mill Creek. His family and friends said he never returned home.
Although deputies say it's too soon to positively identify the remains, they say the ATV found in the wooded area matches the description of Marcum's.
"It's his four-wheeler. It's pretty banged up. It looks like his wheel came off and shot him over the embedment," said Darlie Gearhart, the sister of Marcum.
Marcum's family told 13 News they've searched the area, where the human remains were found, before. However, until a couple weeks ago the area was heavily wooded which made it impossible to see anything inside.
"We were down in there. Everything was covered up, you couldn't see anything. I mean it was green, trees everywhere, full wind-blown," said Gearhart.
Investigators say the remains will now be taken to the Medical Examiner's Office to be positively identified.
Corporal Sutherland said the best way to avoid a major accident while riding an ATV is to always wear a helmet and avoid riding at night.
Logan County Sheriff's Deputies received a call Sunday morning, November 3, 2013 about an ATV. The caller stated the ATV appeared to be stolen.
Once on scene, investigators found human skeletal remains near the ATV.
The Logan County Sheriff's Department cannot confirm at this time if the remains are that of a male or female. The West Virginia Medical Examiner was called to the scene and will collect the remains to determine the sex and the exact cause of death.
Deputies on scene believe these remains may be linked to the missing person incident of James David Marcum, who disappeared on June 4, 2013.
At the time of his disappearance, Marcum had left his residence on a red Honda 300 Foretrax ATV and had ridden back into the hills toward Mill Creek.
The investigation is continuing at this time.

Consolidated Planned Unit Development, 1000 F Street, NW
(File Number ZC-07-18)
At its March meeting, the National Capital Planning Commission commented on the proposed action of the D.C. Zoning Commission to approve a Consolidated Planned Unit Development at the corner of 10th and F Streets, NW. The Commission's role is to advise the Zoning Commission on whether the project will adversely affect an identified federal interest. The federal interest related to this project is the Height of Buildings Act of 1910.
The site for the proposed development lies across the street from the historic Ford's Theater on 10th Street. The Peterson House, where President Lincoln died after being shot at Ford's Theater, lies just to the south.
The existing building on the corner of 10th and F Streets would be renovated and incorporated into the design of a new 11-story office building with ground floor retail.
With guidance from the Historic Preservation Review Board, the design of the proposed building is stepped back from 10th Street to keep it in context with the historic district and the surrounding buildings. The proposed exterior walls of the building consist of brick and terra cotta veneer on two sides and an aluminum glass curtain on the remaining walls with the historic two-story masonry building at the base.
The Height Act establishes the maximum height for this building at 120 feet, based on the width of F Street. The uppermost roof of the building is 120 feet high, but a parapet wall at this level rises above that height. In addition, the building has a penthouse that does not meet the Height Act's setback requirements.
The Commission advised the Zoning Commission that the proposal would be adverse to the federal interest because it does not conform to the requirements of the Height of Buildings Act and recommended that the applicant be required to modify the design to set the parapet wall and the penthouse back from the exterior walls of the building a distance equal to their height above the adjacent roof.

Informational Presentations
Update on District Streetcar Proposals
Commissioners received a status report on the District of Columbia's pilot project to bring streetcars back to Washington, DC. NCPC first gave a brief overview of the history of streetcars in Washington and discussed the project in the context of NCPC's plans and policies. Staff reviewed the Commission's actions to date on the streetcar demonstration project, including the Commission's request that the District explore alternative streetcar technology that would avoid the use of overhead wires in the historic L'Enfant city and Georgetown, where overhead wires are prohibited by federal law.
The director of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), Emeka Monome, then provided updates on DDOT's current activities on the project, including DDOT's exploration of innovative streetcar technology that does not require overhead wires or supporting infrastructurein other U.S. cities as well as internationally. He indicated that DDOT expects to have the demonstration line operating in Anacostia in about 18 months. Solicitation of proposals from streetcar manufacturers for a citywide system may begin at the end of this year. That process is expected to take one to two years.
Update on Old Convention Center Site
The District of Columbia Deputy Mayor's Office for Planning and Economic Development briefed the Commission on the latest plans for the Old Convention Center site. The site, bounded by New York Avenue and H Street and 9th and 11th Streets, NW, will feature six buildings with office and residential space, ground-level retail, and underground parking.
The District envisions the redeveloped site as a major shopping attraction and a pedestrian friendly destination in the heart of downtown Washington. Environmental sustainability is a priority, and the design team plans to use low-impact development techniques to meet the standards of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. The site also will include Northwest Park, a new public park on Federal Reservation 174. The Commission expects to review plans for Northwest Park at its April 3, 2008 meeting.
Consent Calendar: The Commission voted on Consent Calendar items without staff presentations or public testimony.
Delegated Decisions: Projects for which the Commission delegated decision-making authority to the Chairman, Executive Committee, or Executive Director.

Hostile takeover for Yahoo?
by Dave on Apr.07, 2008, under Intense Nonsense, Microsoft
So Bill is at it again, gobbling up everything in his path. This time he sent Steve Ballmer to beat up Yahoo! and watching the two companies have a pissing contest is too fun! Yahoo thought Microsoft made an indecent proposal so they sent Steve Ballmer a snippy response, and MS's answer to that is "tough crap beotch, take our offer or we'll sweep the rug out from under your feet". Personally, I think MS should be neutered at this point, buy nothing else until you pay off your bills first (like fines and taxes)
I decided it's too much fun to watch the big guys go at it and was curious as to what the general consensus is for those following, or involved in, the Yahoo! vs Microsoft match.

On some streets, one house — or one man — can become the identity for an entire neighborhood.
For 60 years at North Cedar and North 25th streets in Tacoma, that man was Ron Thaut.
And his home, for each of those 60 years, was mint green.
"It was hysterical, and the joke of the neighborhood was he'd brag about the color," said Karen Hallis, a next-door neighbor for 24 years. "It was the color of mint green ice cream, and Ron would paint the roof a darker green.
"In his late 80s, he'd be up there tending the roof."
Neighbors loved Ron and Eileen Thaut, and put the house to good use.
"Everyone used it to give directions," Hallis said. "You'd tell people, 'Turn left at the green house' and no one ever missed it."
Thaut died a year ago, at 88, and one of his children — daughter Kris, with husband, Jim Buskirk — bought it.
"We'd lived with Dad the last 10 years, after Mom died," Kris said. "I grew up in this house. My bedroom was upstairs, and Dad's workshop was down in the basement."
Kris adored her father. And one of the first things she did after buying the home was repaint it.
Charcoal gray with a neat trim and a dark roof.
When cleaning out the basement, the Buskirks found a reminder from Thaut – an unopened 5-gallon can of paint.
Mint green.
The house, built in 1908, still had its original windows when Thaut died. None of them opened.
"They'd been painted closed, and then repainted and repainted closed," Jim said, smiling. "We had them all replaced."
Those weren't the only changes made.
"It was the same old carpet, the same colors inside," Kris said. "Every room in the house was one shade of green or another. I remember one year Mom finally asked my sister and me to paint the kitchen and dining room a cream color. Everything else "
"The first time my daughter visited after we'd repainted, she burst out crying because it looked so different," Kris said. "Our youngest grandchild, Reece, still really misses 'Boompah.' He'll go down the steps in the basement and take a deep breath and say, 'This smells like Boompah.'"
Thaut wasn't unaware that some found his love of green a bit odd, but his explanation was sound.
"My dad believed green was God's favorite color, and everyone who knew him knew that," Kris said. "He drove a couple of vans over the years."
Yes, they were green.
What his children and his neighbors remember more than his favorite color was his kindness. He was a little eccentric — they say he took pride in it — but would help anyone who needed it or asked.
"He was frugal, he was from the generation that had been through the Depression," Kris said. "But if someone in the neighborhood needed something, he'd try to help them get it."
An avid hunter and fisherman, Thaut would bring home elk and deer to eat. He'd have it butchered locally, then tithe 25 percent of the meat to charities or food banks. Into his 80s, he umpired girls' fast-pitch softball games.
"I never had a good relationship with my father, and when I met Ron for the first time, he kind of took on the role of a dad to me," said Jim, a retired pastor. "He was the most honest, moral man I ever knew."
That didn't mean he was without quirks.
"I remember one time he went to a thrift store and came home with a pair of dress shoes," Jim said. "They didn't fit, pinched at the toe. So Ron cut the top off the end of the shoes — his toes would stick out an inch or two — and he wore those shoes for years."
When the Buskirks bought the house in January, three months after Thaut died, they made it clear they were going to repaint it. Some neighbors feigned disappointment that the color might change after all those years of being mint green.
"I told them we were going to keep the original color unless they wanted to contribute," Jim said, laughing. "And a few neighbors whipped their checkbooks out."Larry LaRue: 253-597-8638

Western's boys tennis team posted a 3-2 victory over Frankfort on Monday on the Hot Dogs' courts.
The Panthers (5-5) picked up a pair of points in singles play. Judson Quinn continued his outstanding season with a 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 1 and Brody Worl was a 7-5, 7-6 (8-6) winner at No. 2. The Panthers' other point came at No. 2 doubles where Luke Florek and Kaleb Howard were 6-1, 6-3 winners.
Quinn improved to 10-0 with his win at No. 1 singles.
"Judson lost to this kid last year so he avenged the loss. He played probably his best match of the season and won pretty easily," Western coach Andrew Miller said. "He has 10 wins already this season and he had only nine all of last year. He is really playing well."
Florek and Howard also are playing well. They have an 8-1 record at No. 2 doubles.
"They have lost just once all year and that was Saturday [in the McCutcheon Invitational]. I'm glad they got back on the horse, so to speak," Miller said.
Miller noted Worl played well in his win at No. 2 singles, rallying from a 5-2 hole in the second set to win in straight sets.
Noblesville 158, NW 175, Western 198
No. 7-ranked Noblesville lived up to its lofty ranking in the three-team match on its home course, Fox Prairie. Medalist Haley Kluth (3-under 33) led the Millers' strong showing.
"[The Millers] had two girls who shot under par — one 33 and one 35. That's great playing," Northwestern coach Randy Lindgren said.
The Tigers' low four scores came from Alexis Hungate (42), Ashton Martin (43), Olivia McClure (43) and Ava McClure (47).
"I was happy with our score for playing Fox Prairie, on very hard, fast greens," said Lindgren, whose squad is 12-1.
Natalie Newlin fired a 40 for Western. Minka Gill (47), Sophie Frazier (55) and Anna Austin (56) followed for the Panthers.
Eastern 201, Taylor 212
Medalist Sarah Sharp fired a 48 to lead Eastern to the win. Mariah Williams (49), Savannah Palumbo (50) and Heidi Cranor (54) rounded out the Comets' team score.
Taylor's four scores came from Ashley Fritsch (51), Daysi Jarvis (53), Bree Wright (54) and Lexi Davis (54).
Oak Hill 10, Maconaquah 0
Oak Hill scored five goals in the first half, then tacked on five more in the second half to win going away against visiting Maconaquah.


text: The 2012 Rose Bowl has featured plenty of offense so far, with the first three drives for the Wisconsin Badgers and Oregon Ducks resulting in touchdowns. The go-ahead touchdown for Wisconsin was scored by Russell Wilson, but dropped back to pass then, seeing nothing, immediately took off for the corner of the end zone. With the score now 14-7, the Ducks are on the clock for the next salvo in this see-saw battle.

October 22: Analysis or interpretation?
By JERUSALEM POST READERS
10/21/2012 21:34
Arafat was an arch-terrorist who turned down Barak's offer. Abbas turned down Olmert's and refuses talks with Netanyahu. When exactly did Israel's leaders become less flexible and concessionary and when exactly did Palestinian leaders become more flexible and concessionary?

Analysis or interpretation?
Sir, – I was am used by your oped presented as an "analysis" of the second US presidential debate when it was really an endorsement of President Barack Obama. It belonged on the editorial page, not the front page ("Libya puts Obama back on top," October 18).
Hilary Leila Krieger carefully ignored the CNN-published post-poll breakdown showing that while Obama led this debate in likeability and compassion, Romney was points ahead in leadership, straight answers, handling the economy and handling tax and health issues. In the seven categories, Romney came out ahead in five of them.
That's not a "win" for Obama.
As for your writer's interpretation of the Libya remarks, it is just that – an interpretation which carelessly omitted the greater context of those remarks.
The exact language of the president the day after the killing of the US ambassador was, "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for." He was speaking generally about American character in terms of terror attacks generally – at no time did he directly label the Benghazi attack as an "act of terror," despite CNN's agenda-driven moderator Candy Crowley adopting that interpretation.
While the presidential verbiage was ambiguous enough for him to argue at the debate that he was including the Benghazi attack in the "acts of terror," that he said would never shake American resolve, that was clearly not the administration's position given the contradictory statements afterwards. On September 13, White House spokesman Jay Carney said, "The protests we're seeing around the region are in reaction to this movie."
Either Obama condemned it as a terror attack and his staff defied him for over a week, or he truly failed to recognize Benghazi was a terror attack, but is now self-servingly spinning his failure to admit so on a conveniently ambiguous phrasing so typical of lawyerish word games.
In either case, it is a sad display of rhetoric displacing leadership.
Sir, – In President Barack Obama's Rose Garden speech on September 12, he said " No act of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation" – a reference to September 11. If he truly was referring to Libya, then why did he and his administration persist for the next two weeks in claiming the Libya situation was a "natural protest" that spiraled out of control? American Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice characterized the Benghazi attack as "a spontaneous reaction, prompted, of course, by the video."
This was the response of the Obama administration, which anyone can research online. Yet this was clearly no impromptu riot in response to an online, anti-Muhammad video, a fact the White House knew from earliest days.
The president can backpedal and say what he wishes in the debate. Your newspaper can print what should be an op-ed piece and pass it off as an unbiased, front page news article.
But the truth of the matter is, folks don't like it when you twist the facts. Don't imply that the president's "spin response" to the Libya question put him ahead in the race. Don't claim that "Romney lost the foreign policy advantage he briefly enjoyed," when indeed the exact opposite is true.
Unsung Anglos
Sir, – The statement by MK Zevulun Orlev (Habayit Hayehudi), that the election of American- born Jeremy Gimpel "will help Habayit Hayehudi appeal to tens of thousands of English speakers who are currently unrepresented by any party" is a stark illustration of the poverty of our current electoral system ("Orlev endorses American immigrant in Habayit Hayehudi for Knesset," October 17).
Is he suggesting that although I have been voting here for over 30 years I am unrepresented by the party of my choice because I am an English speaker? Is he suggesting that even though I may be neither religious or right-wing, his party will represent me because I am an English speaker? If he is making some comment about my less-than-perfect Hebrew, he may be right. And if he is trying to illustrate the lack of representation afforded by our system, he may also be right.
Peace parallels
Sir, – David Newman ("Congratulations to the EU," Borderline Views, Comment and Features, October 16) contends that "when there are leaders who are prepared to seek ways of overcoming the obstacles (on both sides) instead of creating new ones, nothing should be considered impossible. At least Peres and Rabin were prepared to seek the way forward back then in the 1990s – which is a lot more than can be said for today's crop of leaders, both in Israel and the PA."
This makes no sense. Former prime ministers Ehud Barak (in 2000) and Ehud Olmert (in 2008) went further than either Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin and offered Palestinians statehood throughout almost the entirety of Judea and Samaria and all of Gaza and a capital in Jerusalem, but still obtained no peace.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu accepted Palestinian statehood, has been offering negotiations without preconditions and, without precedent, even unilaterally froze Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria for 10 months, but he cannot even get Abbas to the table.
Yasser Arafat was an arch-terrorist who turned down Barak's offer. Abbas turned down Olmert's and refuses talks with Netanyahu.
Can David Newman tell us when exactly Israel's leaders become less flexible and concessionary and when exactly Palestinian leaders were more flexible and concessionary?
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The writer is the national president of the Zionist Organization of America
Sir, – David Newman offered up a hymn of praise for the second most marvelously successful sociopolitical experiment of the 20th century in his op-ed. A commonwealth of nations, a veritable Pax Romana achieved without legions! The first of the "so many positives" Newman lists is "Internal borders have been removed."
This being the case I am bemused by his dogged insistence that peace can be achieved between the Jewish and the Arab essences of the postage stamp we inhabit in common only by defining borders between us.
Surely the low-level talks going on regarding the supply of power, management of water and movement of goods into, out of and between the autonomous Arab regions are of more concrete value and bear the promise of durability, trust and consensus.
The most marvelously successful sociopolitical experiment that I would put in first place is the transformation of two traditionally militaristic dictatorships into vibrant and wealthy democracies. This result was achieved not, as some would have it, by the introduction of Coca Cola, but by and out of military occupation.
Of course, in those cases it was clear who won and who lost the war: Fortunately it was the good guys who won and the bad guys who lost. This was established before the outbreak of World War II by the terror bombing of Guernica in the West and by that of Nanking in the East.
So history is there to teach us that borders are excuses for armed dispute, that military occupation may ultimately be beneficial to the occupied as well as to the occupier, and that the bad guys can be recognized by their penchant for murderous violence against the other be, it across the divides of geography, ethnicity, sect and tribe.

Re Fabiola Santiago's Feb. 12 column, Vatican must modernize beyond opening a Twitter account: The Catholic and Apostolic Church has been around for more than 2,000 years. It has gone through many changes, both positive and negative. But the essence and cornerstone of the church, the basis for its existence and its moral grounds have been unchanging, irreproachable and infallible.
When we speak about the church, we are speaking of the mystical body of Christ, which, through its teachings, is infallible, yet it is run by men with a fallible nature.
Santiago proposes that the church morph into an entity that is agreeable to all. Yet, a reading of the Scripture shows that Jesus did not conform to the times. That is precisely why he was crucified. In reading the New Testament of the Bible, one can see how Jesus dealt with his disciples, their infallibilities and their lack of understanding. Yet he built a church to withstand time and attacks.
The church as a moral compass does not need to change its teachings. It might need to change some of its human aspects, but definitely not its essence. The essence of the church was instilled by Christ and has been held together by His Holy Spirit for more than two millennia in spite of us and a world that will use the least imperfection to demand changes that it neither understands nor wishes to understand.
It is interesting how the essence of the church is always questioned, yet few seem to realize that throughout time the church has stood against the world on issues such as the killing of unborn children or regimes such as Hitler's. It has given up martyrs in concentration camps, such as Maximilian Kolbe, and the martyrs of the Cold War, who defied all odds in Communist countries to teach the gospel of the Lord. How about the new martyrs of the Africa continent who are brutalized by Muslims for exercising their love of God and church? These uncompromising men and women do not call out for frivolous changes; they are willing to die rather than compromise their beliefs.
Does the church need more accountability from its leaders? Yes, no arguments on that note. But accountability does not translate into recalibrating its moral compass.
The church is all-encompassing; we stretch our arms out to all who want to embrace the gospel of truth, including those who criticize the church. There are many baptized Catholics who might agree with Santiago. That is why churches that practice "Catholic lite" are a dime a dozen.
Nonetheless, the church keep its loving arms wide open for all: the sick, needy, downtrodden, the homeless, both physical and spiritual and, most important, those who would like to understand and embrace the essence its existence.

BK Press Release May 2 2011
Brooklyn, N.Y. - In honor of 35 years of dance presentation, Thelma Hill Performing Arts Center (THPAC) will bring together 35 dance artists over five consecutive nights during its annual "Souls of Our Feet: People of Color Dance Festival," June 19-23 at 7:30 p.m at Kumble Theater.
A mainstay on the New York dance landscape, THPAC and its festival continues to provide a platform to dancers of color. The Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University has served as the festival's home since 1992.
Kumble Theater is located on Flatbush Avenue between DeKalb Avenue and Willoughby Street. Tickets are $15/$12 (students and seniors). Opening night tickets (including pre-show reception) are $20. A specially priced festival pass is available for $35 for all 5 nights. Offer expires June 1. Purchase tickets at the Kumble Theater box office at 718-488-1624 or online at www.kumbletheater.org. For more information about the festival, visit www.thelmahill.com.
"This is a once in a generation gathering of dance artists in New York City. The season will encompass the idea of looking back, while at the same time reaching forward. The generational expanse of the performers this season will help THPAC achieve this," said Alex Smith, THPAC's executive chairman.

About Thelma Hill Performing Arts Center (THPAC)
The Thelma Hill Performing Arts Center (THPAC) was founded 35 years ago to support the creative ideas of choreographers and dance companies of color. The mission of the organization is to offer performance opportunities to artists so they can share their work with diverse communities; furnish rehearsal and "incubation" space for choreographers and dancers, and serve as a bridge between artists and the community.
Over the years, THPAC has supported and attracted emerging and established dance artists of color who seek out the organization's experimental, yet historically aware environment. THPAC has become a viable institution for communities that have traditionally celebrated and reflected on their social and cultural issues through the rituals of music, dance, literature, and performance.
THPAC's founder Larry Phillips began working as a dance therapist in Brooklyn at a community center that sponsored children's education and support programs for single parents attending New York Technical College. The programs were the forerunner of THPAC. In 1977, he renamed the organization after his deceased but renowned and highly influential teacher, Thelma Hill. Ms. Hill is remembered as a positive force in the dance world of New York City and beyond. She also danced with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater and the historically significant New York Negro Ballet Company. She was a member of the dance faculty at the American Dance Festival and devoted herself to teaching dance most notably at the Clark Center. She died tragically in a fire in November 1977, but her passion in nurturing talent lives on in the organization that proudly bears her name.
The Brooklyn Campus is distinguished by… dynamic curricula reflecting the great urban community it serves. Distinctive programs encompass the arts and media, the natural sciences, business, social policy, urban education, the health professions and pharmacy, and include the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, the Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics, the D.P.T. in Physical Therapy and the Pharm.D. in Pharmacy. A vibrant urban oasis in downtown Brooklyn, this diverse and thriving campus offers academic excellence, personalized attention, small class size and flexible course schedules. In 2006, a $45-million Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center was opened to serve the Campus and the surrounding community. In 2007, the Cyber Café was launched, providing a high-tech hot spot for students and faculty members to meet and eat.

Brighton bus emission zone approved
4:40am Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
Brighton and Hove bus bosses will have to own up if their polluting vehicles are not meeting strict new guidelines.
From January 1, 2015, a "low emission zone" will be introduced in Brighton and Hove city centre as part of plans to improve air quality.
As councillors gave it the go-ahead, town hall officials confirmed they would not be actively enforcing the restrictions despite having CCTV cameras along the "bus corridor".
Instead, they said it would be up to bus operators to tell them when vehicles breaching the limit were used while the government's Traffic Commissioner would oversee any fines.
The new zone, which will stretch from North Street to Palmeira Square and only cover buses, was unanimously approved by Brighton and Hove City Council's transport committee on Tuesday.
Speaking after the meeting, Green councillor Pete West said: "Our great bus network already improves the city's air quality by reducing the number of private vehicles that would otherwise be travelling on our streets.
"It's great to see bus companies doing even more to help reduce emissions - something we'd like to help other organisations and individuals do too."
The new area is one of a number of steps the council is doing to reduce pollution and ensure the city does not get hit by EU fines.
Tim Nicholls, the council's head of regulatory services, said the city "was not made for the internal combustion engine" with hills, tall buildings and tight roads leading to the "canyon effect" of fumes not being able to disperse.
Those buses that do not meet the strict standard will be barred from using the city centre unless it applys for a licence from the local authority.
Martin Harris, of Brighton and Hove Bus Company, said more than a third of its 300-strong fleet will not meet the test in 12 months time.
This was despite a government grant of £700,000 towards the scheme meaning 50 of its vehicles would be retrofitted with catalytic converters.
Mr Harris said he was confident the zone would not have "unintended consequences" for passengers, such as increased fares, reduced frequencies or disruption to the pattern of services.
Green councillor Ian Davey said the zone meant the local authority would be able to look elsewhere for funding to pay for future works.
Conservative councillor Graham Cox said: "I do not expect any bus company to use this as an excuse for putting up bus fares."
Labour councillor Gill Mitchell said: "I think it's the right thing to do and it's a good first step.
"All credit to the bus company as they are the ones actually delivering the council's local emission zone."
The local authority will now apply for formal approval from the Government's Traffic Commissioner.

The bus operator has to inform the council of which bus is adding to the polution, and ask for a license.
I can tell them quite easily, all of them, especially when they are trolling up and down completely empty, journey after journey.

There is no issue that is more volatile, passionate, confusing, perplexing and complex than the reality of race in America.
A white police sergeant and a black Harvard University professor both made mistakes in a confrontation last year that led to an arrest and a national debate on racial profiling, a report said.
Nationally syndicated radio host Tom Joyner raised his hand in victory.
President Obama expressed what many Americans feel regarding the recent arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis "Skip" Gates -- that the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police responded "stupidly."
Tom Joyner expresses his joy about his great uncles being pardoned nearly 100 years after they were wrongly executed.
It is altogether ironic that the one person to have a Sam Adams beer at the infamous beer summit, hosted by the president, was Skip Gates, the Harvard professor whose arrest led to the summit.
As an independent moderate, it never ceases to amaze me how political loyalists contradict themselves and flip-flop on social issues. Both parties regularly engage in this practice; but rarely are they challenged or called out for it.
A Boston police officer is suing the city after he was suspended for referring to a black Harvard professor as a "banana-eating jungle monkey" in an e-mail.
A new national poll indicates that white and black Americans don't see eye to eye on last month's arrest of Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates.
In his first public appearance since the "Beer Summit" at the White House, Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates joked about his controversial arrest last month in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and said he likes police Sgt. James Crowley.
The woman who made the 911 call that led to Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates' controversial arrest wasn't present at the so-called beer summit.
The officer who arrested a top African-American professor said talks over beers Thursday evening at the White House were productive and the two men plan to meet again.
Many Latinos say they know how Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates felt during a recent arrest because they believe police often racially profile Hispanics, too.
It may have been the most famous "happy hour" in modern American history.
For the last two weeks, Americans have been divided into two feuding camps: "Team Gates" and "Team Crowley." But after Thursday, those terms seem antiquated.
The Boston police officer who sent a mass e-mail in which he compared Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. to a "banana-eating jungle monkey" has apologized, saying he's not a racist.
Boston's police commissioner says the officer who wrote a "racist and inflammatory" e-mail was immediately put on leave.
The woman who alerted police to a possible break-in at Henry Louis Gates' home says she hopes for support.
Lucia Whalen strolled down a sidewalk near Harvard University, enjoying a lunchtime ritual she'd repeated many times in her 15 years working in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But on this day, July 16, her outing would become something else altogether -- the first steps in a national drama.
The controversy involving the arrest of a black Harvard professor by a white police officer has brought race relations in America to the front burner.
A Boston, Massachusetts, police officer who sent a mass e-mail in which he referred to Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. as "banana-eating" and a "bumbling jungle monkey" has been placed on administrative leave and faces losing his job.
In her first public appearance, the woman who made the 911 call that led to the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Wednesday she would make the call again if placed in the same situation.
No one was surprised when the subject of race dominated the public conversation during Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings. What was surprising was how unwilling both sides of the aisle were to talk about race openly.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Tuesday that he has been the victim of racial profiling but believes Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. could have been more patient with the police officer who arrested him.
Colin Powell suggest GOP leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh and don't speak out against the radio host.
CNN's Elaine Quijano reports that after the Gates confrontation, police are asking for some understanding.
A senior administration official said Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge, Massachusetts, Police Department will be visiting the White House Thursday.
The woman who made the 911 call that led to the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. never referred to black suspects when she called authorities for what she thought was a potential break-in.
Listen to the entire 911 call that claimed that Professor Gates was breaking into his home.
President Obama said Friday he spoke with the police officer who arrested a Harvard professor and told the officer he did not mean to malign the Cambridge Police Department when he said police acted stupidly.
President Obama says he called the police officer who arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr..
The commissioner of the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police department said Thursday he "deeply regrets" the arrest of prominent black Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., but stands by the procedures followed by his department.
Cambridge Mayor E. Denise Simmons talks with American Morning about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates.
We teach our children to think about what others feel before they act, but as grown-ups we frequently assume we understand what others do without ever having walked in their shoes.
The mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts, said she is going to meet with the city's police chief to make sure the scenario that caused the arrest of a prominent black Harvard University professor does not happen again.
President Obama says that police 'acted stupidly' after they arrested, and later released a black Harvard professor.
President Obama said that police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, "acted stupidly" in arresting a prominent black Harvard professor last week after a confrontation at the man's home.
Last Thursday, President Obama, in his fiery speech before the NAACP Convention, admitted that "an African-American child is roughly five times as likely as a white child to see the inside of a prison."
Joe Johns reports on controversy over the arrest of a Harvard professor. Was it a case of racial profiling?
Boris Kodjoe owns a mansion in Atlanta. But when he goes to answer his door, the black actor knows what it's like to be an outcast.
A prosecutor is dropping a charge against prominent Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. after Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the city's police department recommended that the matter not be pursued.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (2/1/13) – The fourth floor of the Raymond Cravens Library on the campus of Western Kentucky University was recently renovated. The area, known as "The Commons" now features 28 lab computers, email stations, printers, copiers, scanners, charging stations, wireless capability, collaboration booths, flexible seating options and whiteboards.The renovations began in late September and ended in December. Though the area has been open since the beginning of the semester, a grand opening was held yesterday at 4:30 where President Gary Ransdell, Provist Gordon Emslie, Dean of Libraries Connie Foster and graduate student Mark Reeves spoke.
"I'm just thrilled to see the university making an investment to make our library a top rate facility," Reeves said.
Drinks and finger foods were served at the grand opening as attendees fellowshipped until the speakers spoke. During this time, a WKU student brass ensemble played. WKU's mascot, Big Red, was also present.
One noticeable change to the area is a section of the wall featuring books halfway sticking out.
"The library books of the past disappear into the wall to be replaced with this information commons concept," Emslie said.
Emslie said he hopes to see students using the Commons often and "not just on finals week."

It wasn't a decision Heather Abbott ever expected she would have to make. But, when the time came, her choice was clear. After doctors had tried for nearly a week to save her foot, injured in the blasts on Marathon Monday, Abbott gave them the go-ahead to amputate below the knee.
"It certainly was a difficult decision, but when I weighed the pros and cons, I think this was the best option for me," the 38-year-old said at a press conference at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

American International, Bridgewater State, Coast Guard, Centenary, Gettysburg, Kings Point, MIT, Norwich, Rhode Island College, Roger Williams, Springfield, Stevens Tech, Trinity, Washington & Jefferson, Wesleyan, Western New England, and Williams will all compete in the event.
The Pride won the meet last season with a final team score of 185.50, outdistancing the second-place Roger Williams Hawks, who recorded a score of 126.50. Last season, the Pride picked up wins by Jamie Sgaglione (133), Mike Gaeta (141), Mark DeCiccio (157), Jake Tyler (165), and Elliot Smith (184).
Springfield enters the 2007-08 campaign as the ninth-ranked team in the New England Wrestling Association All-New England Poll and the sixth-ranked team in the New England Division III Poll.
Returning for the Pride after a trip to the NCAA Championships last season is Elliot Smith. Smith was seeded fifth in the championships last season. The Pride will hit the mats without a familiar face as four-time All-American Mike Gaeta graduated last spring.

Chazy boys' soccer begin quest for title No. 7
PLATTSBURGH — After losing 14 players off last year's state title team as well as leading scorer Derek Drake to a season-ending early on this year, Chazy boys' soccer coach Rob McAuliffe wasn't sure how far his team could go.
Little has changed, however, as the Eagles find themselves back in the NYSPHSAA Class D final four.
"After Drake was injured, that left us with two starters returning," McAuliffe said. "But the goal for this team is to win a state championship. We weren't going to use losing a lot of players from the season before as an excuse. We set that in the beginning.
"We felt this team would be good enough to win it. And what makes this team special is that everyone has contributed over the course of the season. Different players have scored big goals for us and our defense has played well all season."
The Section VII-champion Eagles (16-1-3) will take on Section II winner Fort Ann (19-1), pitting the No. 1 and No. 2-ranked teams in Class D, respectively, in today's 2:45 p.m. final four semifinals at Middletown High School's turf field.
Section V's Jasper-Troupsburg and Section III's Watertown-Immaculate Heart Central tangle in the first game at 12:30 p.m. The Class D championship game is set for 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Chazy and Fort Ann are certainly familiar to one another.
The Eagles edged out a 1-0 victory over Poland in last year's semifinals before recording a 4-0 win over the Cardinals in the state championship contest.
This year's Fort Ann team advanced to the states with a 2-1 win over Northville and then posted a 1-0 decision over Smithtown-Christian in regional play.
The Cardinals are outscoring their opponents, 93-11, with Chris Jackson leading the way with an impressive 40 goals.
"Fort Ann didn't lose as much as we did from last year and we knew the possibility was there that we would be playing them again," McAuliffe said. "They have an experienced team that was there last year and will not be in awe.
"They're in the final four for a reason. I believe they won the state baseball championship last spring. We know we're going to have our hands full and that we have to play well."
The key number this year for Chazy is seven. The Eagles have won state championships in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012.
The Eagles survived Section VII with a 1-0 overtime victory over Elizabethtown-Lewis in the finals and then rolled to a 10-0 decision over Section X champion Harrisville in regional play, with both games played at the Plattsburgh High School Sports Complex.
Chazy is outscoring its opponents by a 57-11 margin.
Unlike in past seasons where the Eagles have had eye-popping individual statistics, this year's team is more balanced.
The Eagles have six players — Josh Barriere (12-8-32), Alex Rabideau (10-7-27), Hayden Guay (8-9-25), Alec LaPierre (6-2-14), Gage Ducatte (5-4-14) and Tyler Hicks (6-1-13) — with 13 points or more.
"I don't think opponents can concentrate on any one of our players," McAuliffe said. "I feel good that anyone on our team will be the one to get a big goal for us.
"We know that getting out of our section is always very tough. Teams like Elizabethtown-Lewis always give us a good game. Once we got past them this year, we were able to relax a little more.
"It was kind of a perfect storm against Harrisville. We were playing real well and we caught them off guard.
"Going into the weekend, we have a very good mindset and a very good attitude."

The Dow is off 155.
The NASDAQ is down 47, or about 1.5%.
The S&P 500 is off 1.4%.
Basically, this is the market's delayed reaction to Friday's punk jobs report.
Any notion that perhaps the jobs report will spur more easing by the Fed (and thus be good for stocks) does not seem to be registering.
