Stock Futures Rise as Budget Talks Spur Optimism
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock futures were strengthening Monday amid optimism about U.S. budget talks in Washington and financial aid prospects for Greece.
Upbeat earnings reports from Lowe's (LOW) and Tyson Foods (TSN) also were boosting investor confidence.
The markets, however, remained nervous about the escalating tensions between Israel and Gaza's Hamas.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising by 90 points, or 108.69 points above fair value, at 12,660. Futures for the S&P 500 were advancing by 11.60 points, or 14.32 points above fair value, at 1371. Futures for the Nasdaq were climbing by 24 points, or 24.89 points above fair value, at 2557.Investors will be watching Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who on Tuesday is expected to speak at the Economic Club of New York where he could provide more guidance on the central bank's next steps after the expiration of Operation Twist. "Attention remains centered on the fiscal cliff," said Michala Marcussen, global head of economics at Societe Generale. "Recent developments give grounds for some cautious optimism, but history suggests that politics can be notoriously fickle. Our base case remains that a temporary extension is voted before year-end with a final agreement in early 2013. This will lift uncertainty and remove a significant headwind to recovery." The major U.S. stock averages finished higher Friday as investors were cheered by positive commentary coming out of initial fiscal cliff discussions between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders. The National Association of Realtors is expected to say at 10 a.m. EST that existing home sales were unchanged in October at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.75 million. The National Association of Home Builders housing market index is expected to remain unchanged at a level of 41. "Activity in the housing market is now seen as a crucial area to gauge the efficacy of QE3," noted Geoffrey Yu and Gareth Berry, currency strategists at UBS. "In targeting MBS, market have widely acknowledged the Fed's success in unlocking access to the housing market, but so much of policy at this point still has absolute borrowing costs in mind, and any downside surprises in housing numberssuch as existing home sales will factor into the Fed's calculation in December." The FTSE 100 in London was up by 1.23%, while the DAX in Germany was gaining 1.5%. Eurozone finance ministers are scheduled to hold a meeting in Brussels on Tuesday about extending more financial aid to Greece. Japan's Nikkei average finished higher by 1.43% Monday amid rising anticipation of an opposition party victory in December, which is expected to result in the push for monetary easing. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index settled up 0.49%. Gold for December delivery was rising $9.20 at $1,723.90 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while January crude oil contracts were up $1.07 at $87.99. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was falling 10/32, boosting the yield to 1.613%. The dollar was down 0.22%, according to the U.S. dollar index. In corporate news, Lowe's posted third-quarter results that exceeded forecasts as revenue at stores opened at least a year rose 1.8%. The company posted earnings per share of 40 cents on revenue of $12.07 billion; analysts on average were expecting earnings of 35 cents a share in the third quarter on revenue of $11.91 billion. Shares were popping by more than 4% in premarket trading Monday. Cisco Systems (CSCO), the networking giant, announced Sunday it was buying cloud computing company Meraki for $1.2 billion. Meraki, based in San Francisco, will form Cisco's new Cloud Networking group, which will be led by Meraki CEO Sanjit Biswas. Cisco shares were up more than 1%.

Analysts, on average, predicted profit of 44 cents a share on revenue of $8.49 billion. The Tyson board declared a 10-cent special dividend and a 25% increase on the company's regular dividend. Shares were adding more than 3%. News Corp (NWSA) is expected to announce this week that it will acquire a 49% in the YES Network from the New York Yankees and its partners, according to Reuters, which cited a person with knowledge of the talks. The deal would value the sports channel at $3 billion, Reuters said. Shares were advancing 0.84%. -- Written by Andrea Tse in New York.

Trabzonspor qualified for the UEFA Champions League last minute, coming in for disqualified side Fenerbahche the day before the draw. Drawn with Inter, CSKA Moscow and Lille, they were predicted to finish bottom in the group. However, on the back of a strong defence, Trabzonspor are on the verge of qualifying for the knockout round after drawing with Inter Milan at the Huseyin Avni Aker. Despite the draw, Inter are through as group-winners, something that will brighten up an alarmingly poor season.
Inter took the lead after 18 minutes, with Ricardo Alvarez passing the ball into the goal after a brilliant one two with Diego Milito. 5 minutes later, however, Trabzonspor were level. The goal was perhaps fortunate, with Halil Altintop's shot taking a deflection, but Trabzonspor deserved a draw at the very least, and perhaps a win, in a match that saw them outshoot Inter Milan 22-9, and had a slight edge in possession. Obviously, Inter Milan are not the force that they once were, and have performed badly in Serie A this season, but this is Trabzonspor; they could've been eliminated in the qualifying round of the Europa League, and now they hold qualification for the knockout stage of the Champions League in their own hands.
Win at Lille, and Trabzsonspor are through. If they draw, things become more complicated, with Trabzonspor needing Inter to then beat or draw with CSKA Moscow at the San Siro. Whatever happens though, Trabzonspor have made this group more exciting than many expected after the group was drawn.

In the summer of 1907, the year after the move of the Gospel Trumpet Co. from Moundsville, W.Va., to Anderson, a large tent was erected for the first "camp meeting" to be held in Anderson.
A year later a permanent building became home for general services and meetings of what became the Church of God International Convention (later North American Convention of the Church of God). That building, remodeled a couple of times over the years, still stands on the Anderson University campus as Byrum Hall.
Since that time only once has a Church of God convention not been held in Anderson. That was in 1960 when the old wooden tabernacle, successor to Byrum Hall as the center of the convention, collapsed under the weight of a snowstorm. The General Assembly, composed of Church of God ministers and lay delegates, convened that year at Park Place Church of God, but no mass meetings or associated conferences were held.
But now, with the announcement that the 2014 convention will be held in Oklahoma City, the event will be held outside Anderson for the first time in 107 years.
Church officials had been discussing the possibility of moving the site around to accommodate the changing demographics of Church of God membership. Attendance had been declining for several years. When Warner Auditorium, built in 1962, developed asbestos problems a few years ago, its replacement was not deemed cost-effective as other facilities were adequate to handle convention attendance. But the expense of moving around compared to the availability of AU facilities at little cost was a roadblock to looking elsewhere.
Reardon Auditorium had been the convention's central location in recent years. Twice more distant facilities were used, in 1961 when Warner Auditorium was on the drawing board and mass meetings were held in the brand-new Anderson High School Wigwam, and a few years ago when East Fifth Street in front of Reardon Auditorium was under reconstruction, moving to Madison Park Church of God.

Follow the Money - How Money Influences our Healthcare
So often there are aspects to getting good healthcare that are difficult to understand. Why won't the doctor spend more time with us? Why is some Internet health information unreliable? Why does my insurance company deny the treatment my doctor has recommended? The answer is "follow the money."
Healthcare Rationing - Cost Control For Medical Treatment
When we are denied the medical care we want or think we need, having a knowledge of the concept of healthcare rationing will go a long way toward helping us how to combat it. Understanding healthcare rationing will also help us understand conversations in the coming years about healthcare reform.
How Credit Scores May Affect Your Hospital Care
American health care is too often more about sickness and money than health or care. The fact that hospitals now use patients' financial information is a measure of this problem.

"I feel like it's important to get information out there about the signs of abuse and what you can do to get help," Police Chief Nick Smith said.
One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Last year, the Cordova Police Department took 53 reports of domestic violence and made 12 arrests. So far this year, there have been 12 reports and six arrests.
Domestic violence is chronically underreported, according to the NCADV. Only 25 percent of all physical assaults, 20 percent of all rapes, and half of all stalkings perpetuated against females by intimate partners are reported to the police.
Smith said in most cases, the aggressor has already left the scene by the time officers arrive.
However, officers can make an arrest without a warrant if the person is present.
Smith said it has been his experience that most men don't appreciate the seriousness of a domestic violence charge.
"If you're convicted of a domestic violence charge, you lose your right to carry a firearm. For men who hunt and do different things that involve guns," Smith said.
Women can also be charged with domestic violence.
The neighborhood watch meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Re: Quotes on the 49ers
I'll take out the Tarvaris quote again
Q: Do you see Tarvaris Jackson working his way into the #2 spot as the year goes on or do you see it kind of staying like it is?
A: I probably see it staying kind of like it is. I'd have to have probably a drastic reason to do that. I kind of like it the way it is. He's getting the turns he is getting. He is still growing within the system. He's able to take a look at it and observe. Obviously there is no junior varsity team. He doesn't get to play on Monday morning or anything like that. We love the competition but we love the competition for all of those guys. When we talk about rotating people and keeping them fresh, it's not something that you do at the quarterback position. Defensive linemen, you roll. Offensive linemen, you leave. There are certain positions where you roll people in and out. That's not one of them.
Thanks to PPE for the sig.
Re: Quotes on the 49ers
Sounds like TJ is really in the dog house. Lots of us rave about the guy here but if he cant crack the #2 having been through training camp when the #2 just got here a few months ago and is still learing the system...

US gaming retailer GameStop is claiming that the Wii U Pro Controller has the ability to last up to 80 hours on only one charge which is significantly longer than its counterpart, the Wii U GamePad. An Xbox 360 controller apparently lasts for around 30 hours if new batteries are placed into it so this is quite an advanced difference. GameStop also states that the Wii U Pro Controller is unable to play any Wii games which is a massive shame considering the controller would be perfect for titles such as Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros Brawl. What are your thoughts on the Wii U Pro Controller?
The Wii U Pro Controller features the dual analog sticks and ergonomic button layout that you've come to expect, as well as a rechargeable battery that can last up to 80 hours on a single charge.

There is making no attempt to play the ball and then there what Giampiero Pinzi did on Thursday to Stewart Downing. In was a tackle better suited to American football, Pinzi just grabbed downing with two arms and dragged him down from behind.
Best of all Pinzi, found it hilarious. But if ever wants to make that transition to the egg shaped football then he has to learn to stomp around after a tackle like this, not chuckle. WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!
That only earned Pinzi a yellow card, which did not please Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers will surely have something to say about that.
What Rodgers probably won't discuss is Pinzi's form. While he gets credit for bringing Downing down, he took a bad angle and had to resort to an arm tackle. Whatever happened to smart angles, breaking down and wrapping up defenders? Mike Ditka would not stand for this.

A security researcher criticized Apple for what he called "foot dragging" over the DigiNotar certificate fiasco, and urged the company to quickly update Mac OS X to protect users.
"We're looking at some very serious issues [about trust on the Web] and it doesn't help matters when Apple is dragging its feet," said Paul Henry, a security and forensics analyst with Arizona-based Lumension.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Debacle deepens for hacked SSL certificates issuer. | Find out how to block the viruses, worms, and other malware that threaten your business, with hands-on advice from InfoWorld's expert contributors in InfoWorld's "Malware Deep Dive" PDF guide. ]
Unlike Microsoft, which updated Windows Tuesday to block all SSL (secure socket layer) certificates issued by DigiNotar, Apple has not updated Mac OS X to do the same.
DigiNotar, one of hundreds of firms authorized to issue digital certificates that authenticate a website's identity, admitted on Aug. 30 that its servers were compromised weeks earlier. A report made public Monday said that hackers had acquired 531 certificates, including many used by the Dutch government, and that DigiNotar was unaware of the intrusion for weeks.
Because almost all the people who were routed to a site secured with one of the stolen certificates were from Iran, many experts suspect that the DigiNotar hack was sponsored or encouraged by the Iranian government, which could use them to spy on its citizens.
Microsoft isn't the only software maker to block all DigiNotar certificates: Google, Mozilla, and Opera have also issued new versions of their browsers -- Chrome, Firefox, and Opera -- to completely, or in Opera's case, partially prevent users from reaching websites secured with a DigiNotar certificate.
Users of Safari on Mac OS X, however, remain at risk to possible "man-in-the-middle" attacks based on the fraudulently obtained certificates.
And that rubbed Henry the wrong way. "Mac users have been left hanging in the wind," Henry said.
Because Safari relies on the underlying operating system to tell it which certificates have been revoked or banned entirely, Apple must update Mac OS X. The Windows edition of Safari, which has a negligible share of the browser market, taps Windows' certificate list: That version is safe to use once Microsoft's Tuesday patch is applied.
Henry admitted he wasn't surprised by the fact that Apple was odd-man out.
"No, I'm not, not after it took them a month to respond to the Comodo issue," Henry said, referring to a smaller-scale hack of another certificate authority last March.
Then, Apple updated Mac OS X on April 14, nearly a month after Comodo discovered the intrusion and began notifying browser makers. Microsoft had patched Windows to block the stolen Comodo certificates on March 23, while Google and Mozilla had even earlier.

Men's Cross Country Team Travels to Embry-Riddle
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University men's cross country team returns to action after a weekend off when it competes in the Embry-Riddle Cross County Classic in Daytona Beach on Saturday at 7:45 a.m.
The 8-K course is billed as one of the most challenging in the state of Florida. It is a true cross country course that includes all types of terrain, including athletic fields, a 150-meter hill, short sand trail and two road crossings and requires three loops.
Sophomore Mike Sophomore Mike Harney (North Fort Myers, Fla.), who posted the second-fastest 5K time (17:08) in school history at Saint Leo, has led the Eagles in both early races. Juniors Scott Poindexter (Tallahassee, Fla.) and Ismael Galicia (Naples, Fla.) have also run a pair of strong races for FGCU while freshman Grant Berkery (Sarasota, Fla.) and sophomore Bryan Spiewak (Coral Springs, Fla.) have completed the top-five in both races.
This is the second straight season that the Eagles have competed in the event. Last year, Edison Vasquez placed 11th overall to help FGCU finish seventh of 10 teams.
This will be the third meet of the fall for the Eagles, who have finished third at the Saint Leo Invitational and sixth in wet and muddy conditions at Florida Tech. About 10 teams are expected to challenge for the team title this weekend.

Candy Memories
My grandmother was bedridden when I was a child. She would always tell my grandfather in their native language to "give the children money" to buy candy. My brother and I would then go the Mom and Pop store across the street and buy BB Bats which were 2 for a nickel. They were the highlight of our visits with our grandparents. It is one of the few memories I have of that grandmother who died when I was 5. ~ Phyllis from New York

Editor's note: On Saturday, 17 November, CNEWA's president, Msgr. John E. Kozar, addressed a missionary conference in New Delhi, India, organized by Cardinal George Alencherry, major archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. His exhortation, "Into the Deep," praises the Eastern Catholic churches of India for their missionary fervor and their generosity to the universal church.
New Delhi, India, 17 November 2012
Many thanks to you, Your Eminence, Cardinal George Alencherry, for your kind invitation to join you at this very festive celebration. It is an honor for me, as a Latin-rite priest, to address all of you and to share with you my thoughts about your missionary charism and the bright missionary future the Syro-Malabar Church shares with the church universal and the world.
It is also a special honor to be welcomed into this new diocese where my friend Archbishop Kuriakose Bharanikulangara is the newly installed shepherd. I fondly remember his presence in New York when he served at the United Nations as the secretary of the Holy See delegation there. Many hearty congratulations to you, Archbishop Kuriakose, and to the wonderful faithful of your diocese.
Let me tell you a little bit about me to better situate my sharing with you.
In various interviews with the media, I have been asked: "How would you describe your role as President of CNEWA?" My answer is always, "I am just a parish priest on loan to the world." I then add that my priesthood is intimately linked to being a missionary.
Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I always wanted to pursue the priesthood. My heroes were visiting Maryknoll missionaries who gave presentations in our school. My ultimate hero was a Maryknoll bishop who had been imprisoned in China for many years. His suffering — including many instances of torture — and his abiding faith resonated with me in my formative years. I wanted to imitate his spirit.
While in the seminary, I had the great fortune of serving a summer in Juliaca, Peru, working in the Altiplano with an all-indigenous population. It was at high altitude, freezing cold — but the hearts of the poor were warm and welcoming and the missionary needs were great. I got the fever: the missionary fever. This was a life-changing experience. It confirmed for me some important values for my priesthood.
As a deacon in my last months of preparation for priesthood, I had the good fortune to meet Archbishop Fulton Sheen, former national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith — a role that was bestowed on me years later — a television and media star, and the personality who put the missions on the map in America. It was Fulton Sheen who boldly asserted in interventions during Vatican II that everyone is a missionary by baptism. This pronouncement would become the mantra for the Propagation of the Faith. I believe strongly this should be the mantra of the Syro-Malabar Church.
To finish up on my own missionary journey…
I was ordained a diocesan priest in 1971 and was very happy and satisfied in all of my priestly assignments, but the call to reach out as a missionary was strong and would not diminish.
I remained in my home diocese and did not join any mission society, but soon learned the lesson of St. Theresa the Little Flower that I could still be a missionary in prayer and in good works done in solidarity with missions all over the world — and remain at home.
Eventually, I became the diocesan director of Missions and then was given the honor of being national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies — a role that brought me many times to India, mostly in service to the Latin Church.
And now, I am the President of CNEWA — the Catholic Near East Welfare Association — and am learning to breathe with the other lung of the church, its Oriental or Eastern lung.
But I am still a parish priest on loan to the world.
But what has happened to the missionary spirit in my country and in much of Europe? What has happened to the spirit of Pentecost? In large part it has been overwhelmed by anxiety over legal and financial problems, an uncertainty about vocations to the priesthood and the religious life, and an unwillingness to share and reach out to the missions in our own want. Without making a sweeping generalization, the flames of the Holy Spirit and the call to be missionary in a time of Pentecost have diminished greatly.
Enter the Syro-Malabar Church. You are a missionary church to the core. You are a church alive in the Holy Spirit. You live the mandate of Pentecost.
Fifty years ago, after centuries of suffering — losing much of your identity as an Eastern church, after breaking the shackles of Latinization — the spirit of St. Thomas broke through and you undertook a bold, risky venture to go where others would not. You set out for Chanda.
Bishop Januarius Paul Palathuruthy, a Carmelite of Mary Immaculate, like the first apostles, like St. Thomas, offered himself and the Syro-Malabar Church as a loving representation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. His simple, but very measured "seven step" catechetical approach resonated with the poor. He began by teaching a simple signing of the Cross. Then came the image of Christ, who died for all, then the Bible and so on.
His abiding presence, his missionary heart, his patient endurance and especially the grace of God have brought about this miracle of evangelization in India. With a small group of migrated Catholics, the seeds of faith were planted and produced the fruits of 25,000 souls.
This has been a true Pentecost event in your history. Why did Bishop Januarius and the Syro-Malabar Church have such a miraculous harvest? You shared in your want, you served, you fed the poor and you healed the sick. All of this was accomplished through a very healthy partnership between the bishops of the Syro-Malabar Church and its religious congregations — in the case of Chanda, especially with the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate. It is not an atmosphere of competition, but one of fraternal collaboration.
Congratulations on this 50th Anniversary of this important chapter in your missionary history.
As you have set this missionary course these past 50 years, there continue to be many challenges, some sufferings, hardship and sacrifices that won't go away — but there are blessings in abundance.
Vocations to the priesthood and religious life continue to flourish. The call to be missionary is exciting to many and is readily accepted by young people. Priesthood is not perceived primarily as a ceremonial vocation, but one of service, surrounded by a willingness to reach out "into the deep."
I think of the marvelous example and call to serve as given by Archbishop Mar Joseph Kundukulam of the Archdiocese of Trichur. His legacy of countless social service and helping programs gave hope to the poor and disenfranchised. Having visited Trichur, I am inspired by his spirit, still alive and carried forward by Archbishop Andrews Thazhath, a dear friend who has honored me with a recent visit; Cardinal Alencherry, your major archbishop; and our dear brother, Cardinal-elect Moran Mor Baselios Cleemis, the major archbishop of the Syro-Malankara Church.
I am also inspired greatly by Mar Joseph's legacy in founding the Nirmala Dasi Sisters, who do heroic work with God's special "little ones." Their missionary hearts, their selfless giving is a towering beacon of service in the name of Jesus.
Their light is a beacon for vocations in your church.
There are countless religious sisters who are the "foot soldiers" of the Syro-Malabar Church. Their loving maternal affection, especially for children, gives the reassurance, the security and hope of Christ. They are catechists, formation directors, "adoptive mothers," nurses and care givers; they are Christ.
Let me tell you about a little girl I met a few years ago here in India…
This 8-year-old girl came from an aboriginal area and was living at a hostel with some religious sisters — the only opportunity for her to receive an education. While there, she learned many hymns and songs of praise to Jesus and enjoyed learning about Jesus and his mother from the sisters.
While at home during school recess she was set upon by a group of fundamentalists, who accused her of proselytizing as she was heard to be singing songs to this Jesus. Her life was threatened and she was rescued, narrowly escaping bodily harm or even death for herself and her family.
I asked her: "Were you afraid when they threatened you?" She answered straightforwardly as she looked me in the eye and said, "No, because Jesus would watch over me."
What a testimonial in faith from a little one not yet baptized, but led to Christ by the gentle and loving hearts of the sisters. And others want to follow in their footsteps; the Syro-Malabar Church continues to be blessed with many women choosing to be religious.
Your dynamic missionary spirit resonates at home and abroad, as it must. There is a real Pentecost spirit at work all over India.
I have been privileged to participate in a popular mission, presented by the Vincentian Fathers in Chenganassery. My hearing was a little impaired after four hours of high decibel shouting, giving praise, singing, testimonies, etc., but the fervor of the thousands of people present was dramatic and the whole thrust was missionary. It reiterated the mandate of Pentecost: "Go tell others what you know, he is risen! Alleluia!"
You present the missionary challenge very clearly to your people:
Ad Gentes — To the peoples of the world
First of all, in the vast mission territories of India, your missionary witness and presence is alive and well.
I am amazed and inspired that 24 Syro-Malabar bishops are serving in Latin dioceses in India, often with no recognition and little appreciation. This is an untold story, one that I personally share with audiences, especially in my own country. Almost 40 percent of diocesan priests serving in Latin dioceses in India are Syro-Malabar priests. And more than 60 percent of religious priests serving in Latin dioceses are Syro-Malabar.
The missionary outreach of the Syro-Malabar Church extends to every continent, to 36 countries. Three thousand religious sisters of the Syro Malabar Church serve outside of India, as do more than 1,200 priests, including 205 in my own country.
In some areas of the world, despite large numbers of Syro-Malabar faithful, you do not yet enjoy juridical status, but you do not retrench or retreat. You maintain your Christ-like service and missionary presence. You continue the legacy of St. Thomas. God continues to reward you with growth and vitality in your church and the refreshment of vocations.
In New York, I must comment on the missionary spirit of Father Jos Kandathikudy, Pastor of St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Church in the Bronx. At a recent celebration honoring the tenth anniversary of the parish, Cardinal Timothy Dolan and I, both privileged to join in this celebration, were overwhelmed by the dynamism of this young mission-minded parish and the Christ-like service of dear Father Jos. His missionary heart, as representative of the Syro-Malabar tradition, serves as a beacon to all of us in New York: Celebrate Pentecost, be happy, be faithful and respond to Christ. Go out into the deep.
We have just initiated a Year of Faith. Our Holy Father invites us to enter the "door of faith," a life of communion with God, the journey of a lifetime.
He invites us, as Christ has called us, to leave everything behind to follow him, to be missionary.
In this call to be missionary, our Holy Father reminds us that faith without charity bears no fruit and charity without faith brings doubt. Charity and faith require each other. These are our walking orders to be effective missionaries.
We just concluded the Synod on New Evangelization, in which some of you participated. As Cardinal Alencherry has personally shared with me, perhaps there is nothing new about evangelization: just some humility needed to admit we have not done well the first time around or in evangelizing since Vatican II.
This reminds me of a commercial 15 to 20 years ago for Kellogg's Corn Flakes. As you have probably tasted them, Corn Flakes is the father of breakfast cereals, the simplest, most basic, probably the healthiest — no sugar coating, no chocolate covering, no nuts or yogurt flavoring — just simple corn flakes.
The commercial promoted the cereal with the motto: "Corn Flakes, try them again, for the first time."
Maybe some have forgotten how good and tasty they are, how simple they are, how unadulterated. Maybe some have never even tried them. So: Try them again, for the first time.
Your church encourages all to experience the power of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world. To those maybe in my country, in Europe or in foreign lands, your invitation as missionaries in this new evangelization to try the faith again for the first time is warm and inviting. Go and tell others: He is risen, Alleluia!
And to those who have never known this Jesus of Nazareth, the Syro-Malabar Church offers this bread of life to the hungry, the poor, the alienated and the forgotten.
There are many celebrations of interest today:
But more than anything else, this celebration is about Pentecost. Despite sufferings, sacrifices, disappointments, you maintain the countenance of Christ.
Thank you, brothers and sisters of the Syro-Malabar Church. You challenge the church universal to be as Christ, the supreme missionary, and as Mary, his mother, the missionary to the Apostles. You enkindle the spirit of St. Thomas, your father in faith.
Pentecost is alive. The Holy Spirit is burning in your hearts.
Cardinal Alencherry, dear bishops, priests, religious brothers and sisters and loving lay people — we who breathe from the other lung of the church, we love you and we need you.
Go tell the others: He is risen, Alleluia!

In the January edition of ONE, we featured a story about generations of Thomas Christians from Kerala who have built a community of their own in Mumbai:
"Because the Eparchy of Kalyan was formed exclusively for the Syro-Malabar faithful, a lot of re-evangelization has taken place, meaning people who were on the fringes now started coming forward," he explains.
"Otherwise, what happens? In the Latin Church, they were unknown. The Latin parish in Vikhroli has 10,000 people and seven Masses every Sunday. Nobody was bothered if they were there or not. But now our parish is very small: a hundred families. We have one liturgy. So if somebody doesn't come for it, we ask: 'Where has he gone?' There's much more community now that we have the eparchy."
Mrs. John waits patiently for her husband to finish his thought before speaking. Humble and articulate, she is the perfect blend of the gentility characteristic of rural Kerala and Mumbai's cosmopolitanism.
"With time, our roots in Kerala have diminished," she says. "But we still follow all the traditions we learned from our parents. Like when mom passed away, we called everybody over on the 40th day. We follow all the rituals we learned to the core. All the celebrations we do in Kerala are also celebrated here in Mumbai. Basically, we just want to keep our culture alive. We don't want our kids to lose out on that front — in the home or in the church."

In the September 2011 edition of ONE, Peter Lemieux reported on the role the Syro–Malabar Catholic Church plays in India's health care system:
For the next 15 minutes, the priest rushes through the multistory facility, distributing Communion to more than 30 patients in various wards. "Here, prayer is so much a part of the culture," explains Father Paul. "But in a hospital setting, it's a very fast pace. If you don't deliver things in time, it's a problem. Time is critical. If we're delayed for even a minute, lives are threatened."
Established in 1978 by the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate — the first and largest religious congregation for men in the Syro–Malabar Catholic Church — the institution consists of a full–service general hospital, a homeopathic hospital, a 100–bed ayurvedic (or traditional Indian medicine) hospital, a cancer research center, a cardiac center as well as a medical school and a nursing college.
The facility offers diagnostic treatment in almost every specialization and boasts the latest medical equipment and information technology, 25 surgical operating rooms and a state–of–the–art radiology department, which most recently acquired a new linear particle accelerator.
The medical school and nursing college together enroll 1,200 students from all over India. In total, more than 2,000 medical professionals and their families reside on the campus.

Back in March when Msgr. Kozar visited India, he received such a warm, and often entertaining, welcome from every parish, school or institution he visited. His visit to the parish of St. Thomas in Kanamala was no different:
About an hour later we arrived at the flourishing mountainside parish of St. Thomas, in Kanamala. What an amazing reception: A marching band of beautiful special needs youngsters and young adults, several hundred children, their parents and the elders of the parish, all lined up in a receiving line. There were many huge Indian umbrellas held by the women and hoisted high while twirling them to welcome the three of us. Thomas Varghese, M.L. Thomas and I were swept away by this welcome.
They led us to the beat of the marching band to the church, where we entered to say a prayer, and then on to the humble parish hall, which was packed. The welcoming continued in the form of remarks from Father Matthew, who spoke on behalf of the bishop and expressed profound thanks to CNEWA for the many facets of assistance given to this parish. Then the pastor gave a very emotional welcome to us and also highlighted the many expressions of solidarity from CNEWA from the parish's beginning. Then came some young people who did some amazing dancing: a combination of intricate classical Indian dances and a little bit of Bollywood. They put their heart and soul into the performance.

Sisters are often the people on the ground carrying out the work CNEWA supports. With tireless effort and loving dedication, these women give the sick and poor the care they desperately need. Earlier this year, Msgr. John Kozar met a group of dedicated sisters in India — the Bethany Sisters. Sean Sprague also wrote about the Bethany congregation for the May/June 1998 issue of the magazine:
The Bethany Sisters' motherhouse in Kottayam is a spiritual powerhouse where temporarily professed sisters spend a few years in prayer, study and work before taking their final vows. Pure and virtuous, the sisters are nevertheless wholeheartedly human and very Indian. They are fully aware of the outside world and eager to go and serve the poor and sick.
"Bethany is the church within the church," Sister Philomena explained. "Its role within the Syro-Malankara Church is like that of the heart in the body. Its charism is the spiritual renovation of the Syro-Malankara Church, particularly through its apostolic activities. One of our main apostolates is education."
Today the Bethany community operates some 100 lower and upper primary schools, 65 nursery schools, 28 secondary schools, 3 university colleges, a teacher-training college and several other vocational training centers. Mar Ivanios University in Trivandrum is one of the premiere institutions of higher learning in Kerala, educating more than 3,000 students per year.
Ecumenical activities, family visits, catechism, preaching, mission work, care for the sick (the Bethany community runs several hospitals, leprosy eradication projects and preventive health care programs) and care for the handicapped, the elderly and orphaned children are all important apostolates.

Our July edition of ONE has just been posted online. In the cover story for this edition, Change Comes to 'God's Own Country,' Peter Lemieux reports on how urbanization is threatening the traditional way of life in Kerala:
While the urbanization underway in Kerala may not involve all the classic socioeconomic upheavals, it certainly has meant profound changes in the state's traditional social fabric. These days, few disagree the once tightly woven rural extended families and parish communities look frayed and threadbare.
"In Kerala, we've always had a strong family tradition rooted in our agrarian culture. Family was never disconnected. There was a family oneness," explains Father Joseph Makothakat, pastor of Little Flower Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in Fort Cochin. "But these days, we're a professional society. Families don't find time to be together. They work six days a week. Husband works in one place, wife works in another. They come home late at night and don't even have time for evening prayer, nor do their children, who are too busy with their private tutors. The lifestyle is much different now."

During his trip to India earlier this year, Msgr. John Kozar had the pleasure of meeting members of the Daughters of Mary, a congregation of sisters in Tamil Nadu, who care for children in need:
One of the highlights of the day followed when we visited Vimala Orphanage. Here, we were warmly greeted by the house superior, Sister Rose Francis, and the house director, Sister Savio, and a bevy of beautiful young girls. Sisters led us inside where about a 140 girls — all orphans or abandoned and neglected — were assembled to greet us. This contingent of smiling girls represented three different orphanages, all of which are directed by the Daughters of Mary.
The main feature of our visit was to be entertained with songs and dances by these very special children. Their intricate hand and foot motions, their obvious delight in sharing their gifts with us and their genuine happiness overwhelmed me. The simplicity and the sincerity and the faith of these children were an inspiration to all of us.
After the entertainment, I had the privilege to chat with the girls. I shared with them a very simple message: That each one of them is a part of God's family and that God loves each and every one of them as he loves children everywhere. I further shared with them that they have family in North America, in Canada and the United States, members of the CNEWA family who lovingly support them. Some of them even referred to you as their aunties and uncles to whom they have written. Please know how much they love you and how they promise to remember you in their prayers.

There is a vast array of cuisines unique to the cultures and regions of the world CNEWA serves. Below are five delicious recipes:
Sambar. Sambar is a vegetable soup made with tamarind and pigeon peas. It is one of the most popular dishes in South India, accompanying most meals. Enjoy it over white rice, idli (steamed rice cake) or dosa (pancake made with black gram and rice). We featured the recipe for this South Indian favorite in the November 2008 issue of ONE.
Dosa. Dosa, as mentioned above, is a pancake made with black gram and rice. It can be enjoyed with any number of the flavorful stews, sauces or soups in Indian cuisine. You can find the recipe for dosa in the November 2008 issue of ONE as well.
Tisza Fisherman's Soup. Tisza Fisherman's Soup, originating in Hungary, is a paprika-based river fish soup, best served hot and spicy. The original fisherman's soup is prepared with fish from the Danube and Tisza rivers. The recipe for Tisza Fisherman's Soup can be found in the September 2005 issue of ONE.
Sfeeha (Meat Pies). Sfeeha, or meat pies, can be found in various parts of the Middle East and Armenia. Sfeeha are a pizza-like dish filled with a combination of spices, vegetables and either beef or lamb. The recipe for Sfeeha was featured in the July 2006 issue of ONE.
Injera. Injera, a spongy flatbread made from teff, is the Ethiopian staple bread. It is used to scoop up meat and vegetable stews. It also lines the trays on which the stews are served and soaks up the juices from the meal. A meal is complete only after the last injera is eaten. The recipe for injera can take a few days preparation.
Respond in the comments and let us know if you try any of these tasty recipes!

Today, CNEWA welcomed to its offices the major archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Cardinal George Alencherry of Ernakulam-Angamaly, who is visiting the United States on a pastoral trip. The four-million-strong Syro-Malabar Church is one of the 22 Eastern churches in full communion with Rome and, said the engaging prelate, is "a church that goes out" to preach the Good News.
"A church that does not preach, teach and baptize in the name of the Father will be dormant and will eventually die," he said. We must not be afraid of temporary failures, he continued. "Not even St. Paul was always successful. But if the church lives the Gospel as Christ intended, we will attract even those who hate us."
A native of Kerala, the cardinal met with CNEWA's president, Msgr. John Kozar, and CNEWA's New York-based staff. He spoke eloquently about the growth of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in its heartland of southern India, but also throughout the subcontinent and beyond. Despite the presence of hundreds of castes in India, "the Malabar Church holds together" and is "making advances" among the dalits, the suppressed peoples throughout India once called the "untouchables."
Even as Kerala changes from a rural state to an advanced economy, the cardinal commented on the commitment to the faith made by Syro-Malabar Catholics. "There are different aspects to the growth of the faith," he said. "There's a more serious commitment, especially with the concept of charity ... it isn't just a family tradition anymore.
"At the same time," he said, "the faithful are going along on their own accord ... internalizing the faith and expressing it" more as individuals and less as parish-centered communities than before. Cardinal Alencherry noted that this change has evolved particularly in the past 20 or 30 years and that it has challenged the "pastoral approaches of our priests."
Priestly "formation has had to change," he said, so that Syro-Malabar priests "can adapt and address particular pastoral needs."
The cardinal spoke about the welcoming environment given to Syro-Malabar Catholics by the church of North America, which includes nearly 100,000 Syro-Malabars in the United States alone. He noted, too, the importance of governing structures to support the church outside its "proper territory." Prayers, the Eucharist and relationships among Syro-Malabar families in practicing the faith, he said, keep the church alive and are "good for the Latin Church, too. Otherwise, we lose them."
"Wherever there are conflicts in the church," he said, "you will find a lack of dialogue, a lack of communication.
"I always tell my bishops and priests that we are called to serve, and to serve means to engage in dialogue with truth and love."

CATEGORIES CinematicalThis August marks the 25th anniversary of Follow That Bird, the first movie based on the Sesame Street TV series. I like to think of it -- though I sometimes forget to -- as a part of the Muppet movie franchise. Yet despite some overlap of characters between Sesame Street and the Muppets, few others ever consider this movie when discussing the true Muppet installments, such as its immediate predecessor, 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan. The disparity in appreciation for the brands is even evident in the fact that Manhattan (which features much of the Sesame Street cast in cameos) was a relative success, grossing $25 million, while Bird (likewise featuring Kermit the Frog in a cameo) was considered a box office flop with final earnings of only $14 million.
Despite that financial disappointment, as well as the even bigger bomb that was 1999's The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, I'd like to see another attempt at a Sesame Street movie. While Jason Segel is off reviving the Muppet brand with a new movie promised to be as good as the originals, and while a Fraggle Rock film is in the works, as well, who will step in and similarly make a movie starring Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Grover and Ernie and Bert, along with the human cast, that's as hilarious as Follow That Bird? Actually, can someone just hire Bird writers Judy Freudberg and Tony Geiss, who are longtime Sesame Street vets (they also wrote Don Bluth's An American Tail and The Land Before Time)? And Ken Kwapis can return to direct since outside of TV work Bird is the best thing he's ever done (seriously).
Anyone else, whether you have kids to bring to it or not, want another Sesame Street movie?

This is the live blog for Karl Amoussou vs. Sam Alvey. Karl Amoussou is a former M-1 fighter with a 12-3-2 MMA record. He is making his Bellator debut. Sam Alvey is 14-2 in MMA. He won his last fight over Jason Guida in November. This bout is a middleweight tournament qualifier.
Round 1 - Jason Herzog is our referee for this bout, wearing his purple Undertaker gloves. Sam Alvey smiles at Amoussou while Herzog gives directions. Alvey is dating some chick from America's Next Top Model or something. Bell rings. Amoussou falls after throwing a kick. Ninety seconds in without much landing. Just as I type that, Amoussou sweeps Alvey off his feet with a low kick. He takes the back, but Alvey spins into guard. Short punches from Alvey. Amoussou tying up well from the bottom. Rib shots from Alvey before Herzog asks for a standup. Wheelock compliments Herzog for the standup. Meh. Amoussou throws Alvey and ends up straight in the mount. Elbows from Amoussou. Alvey trying to turn. Amoussou maintaining position. Alvey bleeding now. More elbows from Amoussou. Straight punches to the face now. Small pool of blood collecting on the mat. More elbows. Amoussou attempts the armbar, and predictably ends up losing position. Alvey bleeding all over Amoussou now. If the cut is as bad as the resulting blood, it'll be a shock if a doctor allows this to continue. Round over.
SB Nation scores the round 10-9 for Karl Amoussou.
Round 2 - As we come back from break, Wheelock lets us know that Alvey suffered two counts in the first round. Looks like the cutman has the cuts under control, and we're going to round two. Amoussou opens with a leg kick thirty seconds in. Amoussou comes in, but Alvey sends him back with a straight left. Amoussou steps in again, but eats a one-two from Alvey. Amoussou seemed to hurt Alvey with a leg kick. He jumps in with a flying knee, but misses, and Alvey has him pressed up against the fence. Herzog with a quick break off the fence, now telling Amoussou to put his trunks back up. Not sure what was going on there. Halfway through the round. Amoussou slowing down from his round-one pace. Right hand from Amoussou forces Alvey to clinch. Amoussou pressing him along the fence. Knees to the midsection from Amoussou. He follows with a trip, but Alvey rolls him over. Amoussou tying up well again.
SB Nation scores the round 10-10.
Round 3 - Amoussou counters an Alvey punch with a body kick. Follows up with a combination of strikes. Alvey with knees to the midsection as Amoussou presses him along the fence. Trading knees in the clinch. Amoussou getting the better of the action here. Herzog separates. Good flurry from each fighter. Clinch again. Amoussou tries to throw, but Alvey ends up with trip takedown. Short, active punches from top. He opens up when he hears the ten-second notification.
SB Nation scores the round 10-9 for Sam Alvey, and scores the bout a 29-29 draw.
Sam Alvey defeats Karl Amoussou by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).

Comments about Schwalbe Racing Ralph 29" SS Tire:
Got these tire as OE. They have great traction and are very predictable. Only problem is that its easy to get a pinch flat if tubed and they wear fairly quick. I've had them for about 4 months and put around 500 miles on them. At this point they won't hold stans anymore. But like I said the grip was great and predictable.

It is dry across the country and that's leading a Virginia congressman to call for a wholesale change to the nation's energy policy. You might be wondering what do those things have to do with each other?
Farmers get special benefits for selling their corn to companies that produce ethanol, but with the lack of rain there is less corn to go around and Congressman Bob Goodlatte believes beef farmers are suffering.
Goodlatte claims 42 percent of corn is going to ethanol, more than is what is going to feed livestock.
According to the reporters at Politifact Virginia-- that claim is only "half true". Sean Gorman discovered that 42 percent of the corn goes to ethanol producers, but that doesn't mean it becomes ethanol.
"There is going to be about 4.5 billion bushels of corn that's going into ethanol production, go to those plants and that's the gross number. But a fair chunk of that, about a quarter of that, is going to basically come out of that as this corn byproduct feed," said Gorman.
You can see all the information behind this week's Politifact Virginia report on their web site, www.politifactvirginia.com.

Politics trump sports on US TV networks
WASHINGTON, USA (AFP) — Politics edged out sports among US television viewers in a key night for the Democratic National Convention and the National Football League, a survey showed yesterday.
The Nielsen data showed 25.1 million people tuned in to the second night of the convention Wednesday, the day former president Bill Clinton gave an impassioned speech formally nominating US President Barack Obama.
That was just barely ahead of the 23.9 million viewers who watched the NFL season kickoff between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, Nielsen said.
Nielsen said that coverage varied by network, but that seven major networks aired live coverage of the convention from approximately 10:00pm to 11:30pm.
The opening night of the convention drew a slightly bigger audience of 26.2 million, Nielsen said. That was the night First Lady Michelle Obama addressed the gathering in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Nielsen said 30.3 million viewers watched the final night of the Republican National Convention last week.
In 2008, the number of viewers for the Democratic convention ranged from 22.3 million to 38.4 million, Nielsen said, with the number for the Republican gathering between 21.5 million and 38.9 million.

Mostly Cloudy

I wondered about which offensive linemen should make the list and realized that Carl Nicks (77, right) is one who couldn't be left off. No. 4 could be too high for him, but one thing is for sure – he has made himself into one of the best young guards in the league regardless of whether he's indispensable to the Saints or not.
Nicks, who fell to the fifth round of the 2008 draft because of "character" issues, has been nothing but a delight at the Airline Drive facility. He has started 29 straight regular season game and 32 consecutive including the playoffs.
What's more amazing, though, is that with Nicks in the lineup helping to protect quarterback Drew Brees' backside, the Saints have given up only 29 sacks. In fact, Brees has only been sacked 33 times the past two seasons, the third-best number in the league behind Indianapolis and Tennessee, both of which have given up 27 sacks.
But take a look at the numbers and you see just how far he and the Saints have come with him in the lineup and why the Saints found a diamond in the rough.
In 2008, the Saints averaged only 3.21 yards per carry at left guard. A year later, the Saints were at 4.48 yards per carry at left guard. That's quite an improvement.
And when the Saints needed a first down against Minnesota in overtime, where did they run? At left guard, where Pierre Thomas picked up two yards on fourth-and-one.

Barco is delighted to announce that Japanese rock band B'z has chosen its Creative LED module MiStrip for their Action 2008 tour. The slim, high brightness modules form a gigantic carpet-like LED screen, which moves up and down above the band during their show giving the impression of a flying carpet.
The B'z is Japan's best selling rock band and is a household name in their home country. They have sold over 75 million records and they were the first Asian artists to have their handprints and signatures put up in Hollywood's Rock Walk. For their Action 2008 tour, they worked together with renowned set designer Mark Fisher from Stufish. The mastermind behind stages for U2 and The Rolling Stones designed a "magic carpet," a grand carpet-like LED screen flying over the band.
The Stufish team worked closely together with Barco's Innovative Designs to turn their vision into reality. A total of 1,152 MiStrips were used to create the ultimate rock show experience. The gigantic LED screen, 20m wide and 9m high, consists of no less than 36 MiStrip panels. The supporting frame is custom made by Innovative Designs for this project and is constructed of carbon fiber which makes it incredibly strong and super light. The curved screen is supported by a winching system so that it can move up and down, giving the impression of a flying carpet.
"I am pleased to have been able to work with Barco again," says Mark Fisher from Stufish. "I have worked with them on many occasions in the past and I knew that they are able to turn my design into a working reality. Their creative LEDs offer infinite possibilities, which, for a designer, is a dream to work with."
"The magic carpet is a good example of how the boundaries of lighting and video are really blurring," says Andrew Healey, global marketing manager for Barco's Events business. "Furthermore, the addition of mechanical motion to the screen delivers an incredible sense of volume or 3D to the content and provides the audience a truly new experience."
The MiStrips used in the magic carpet were provided by Japanese rental partner Prent Corporation.The arena shows of the Action 2008 tour premiered on April 19 in Sun Arena, Mie, Japan. During a four-month tour, the B'z will play 35 shows in 17 cities in front of over 300,000 spectators.
