Venerable Pope Pius XII
The Pope, The Clown and The Cross
(I originally posted this on September 28, 2009 and it has always been one of my favorites. I am reposting it now since I assume many current readers of the blog have not read it, and, with the recent death of my son, Larry, it now has a special meaning for me.)
In 1957 comedian Red Skelton was on top of the world. His weekly comedy show on CBS was doing well. He had curtailed the drinking which had almost derailed his career. Not too shabby for a man who had started out as a circus and rodeo clown and who was now often called the clown prince of American comedy. He and his wife Georgia had two beautiful kids: Richard and Valentina Maria. Then the worst thing in the world for any parent entered into the lives of Red and Georgia Skelton: Richard was diagnosed with leukemia. Unlike today, a diagnosis of leukemia in a child in 1957 was tantamount to saying that Richard was going to die soon. Red immediately took a leave of absence from his show. CBS was very understanding and a series of guest hosts, including a very young Johnny Carson, filled in for Skelton during the 1957-1958 season.
Red and his wife made two decisions. First, they decided not to reveal to their son how ill he was; if worse came to worst they wanted him to enjoy the time he had left. The boy's leukemia was temporarily in remission and outwardly he appeared healthy. When the boy saw "The Last Days of Pompeii" on TV and was fascinated by it, his mom and dad made their second decision. They were going to take him and his sister to Europe so the boy could see Pompeii and other parts of Europe and the world, and to allow the parents to consult with foreign physicians and also to conduct a pilgrimage for their son. The Skeltons were Protestants, indeed, Red was an active Mason, but they had chosen to educate their kids at a Catholic school and Richard was very religious, his room filled with religious pictures and statues. Like many Christians of whatever denomination, in their hour of utmost need the Skeltons decided to seek aid of the Catholic Church. Continue reading
Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker and Victims of Communism Day
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana
Today is the Feast Day of Saint Joseph the Worker and Victims of Communism Day. Pius XII instituted the feast in 1955. In 1949 he issued the Decree Against Communism which excommunicated all Catholics collaborating with Communist organizations. Continue reading
Cardinal Mundelein and the Conclave of 1939
Thanks to the protest of Cardinal O'Connell to Pius XI after the Conclave of 1922, and the development of transoceanic air travel, all Cardinals not prevented by illness or extreme old age were able to participate in the Conclave of 1939, beginning on March 1, 1939 on the eve of World War II. One of the American cardinals participating was George Cardinal Mundelein of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Born in 1872 on the lower east side in Manhattan, Mundelein broke the mold for most American Cardinals of his era in not being of Irish extraction, He was only half-Irish on his mother's side! His father's family was of German origin. He spent all of his early career in the Brooklyn diocese, rising to Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn in 1909. He was made Archbishop of the Chicago Archdiocese in late 1915.
His introduction to Chicago was turbulent in that an anarchist dosed chicken with arsenic at a banquet held in his honor. An emergency emetic prepared by a Doctor in attendance prevented any fatalities.
The Archbishop was made a Cardinal in 1924 by Pius XI.
For his day, Mundelein was viewed as a liberal and he certainly was in his politics. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the New Deal and he made this comment which would not be out of place in a Catholic Worker paper today:
The trouble with [the Church] in the past has been that we were too often allied or drawn into an alliance with the wrong side. Selfish employers of labor have flattered the Church by calling it the great conservative force, and then called upon it to act as a police force while they paid but a pittance of wage to those who work for them. I hope that day has gone by. Our place is beside the workingman.
His views on other matters reveal the limitations of political classifications when applied to Churchmen. He was an uncompromising foe of contraception and campaigned against sexual suggestiveness in films. On easy divorce he had this to say: "that not war, nor famine, nor pestilence have brought so much suffering and pain to the human race, as have hasty, ill-advised marriages, unions entered into without the knowledge, the preparation, the thought even an important commercial contract merits and receives. God made marriage an indissoluble contract, Christ made it a sacrament, the world today has made it a plaything of passion, an accompaniment of sex, a scrap of paper to be torn up at the whim of the participants."
He did not live long after his participation in the Conclave of 1939, dying of a heart attack at age 67 in October of 1939. Continue reading
Pope Blesses 4000 American GIs
The things you can find on Youtube! Pope Pius XII blesses 4000 American soldiers after the liberation of Rome in 1944. Here is what the Pope said:
It is a real joy for us to welcome you all here to the very own house of the Eternal Father of the Christians. You know very well you have experience now of the dangers and uncertainties of life in the midst of war. Make one thing certain, that you always keep close to God.
Pope Pius was quite popular among servicemen with huge numbers flocking to the Vatican to receive his blessing: Catholics, Protestants and Jews. Many soldiers wrote that it was a highlight of their service in Europe, and more than a few converted as a result. The Pope had a special fondness for those in the military who were risking their lives, and he made himself availabe in frequent audiences for them. Pius was grateful for the liberation of Rome, as he indicated to General Mark Clark when he first met the Pope. Continue reading
Mark Clark-Almost the First American Ambassador to the Vatican-On What's My Line
"A few days after the liberation of Rome, Lieutenant General Mark Clark, Commander of the Fifth Allied Army, paid his respects to the Pope: "I am afraid you have been disturbed by the noise of my tanks. I am sorry." Pius XII smiled and replied: "General, any time you come to liberate Rome, you can make just as much noise as you like.""
The show What's My Line makes a rather good time capsule for informal looks at major figures in mid twentieth century American history. On February 19, 1956 General Mark Clark, commander of the US Fifth Army in the Italian campaign during World War II, and commander of the United Nations forces in Korea from May 12, 1952 to the truce ending the conflict., appeared on the show.
It is an ironic commentary on the relative obscurity of the Italian campaign during World War II that the panelists were unable to guess his identity. Clark was nominated by President Truman to be the first ambassador of the United States to the Vatican due to his excellent personal war time relationship with Pope Pius XII. Opposition by Protestant groups and powerful Senator Thomas Connolly of Texas caused Truman to shelve the plan. Continue reading
The Lion of Munster
Neither praise nor threats will distance me from God.
Blessed Clemens von Galen
The Nazis hated and feared Clemens August Graf von Galen in life and no doubt they still hate and fear him, at least those now enjoying the amenities of some of the less fashionable pits of Hell. Going into Lent, I am strongly encouraged by the story of Blessed von Galen. I guess one could come up with a worse situation than being a Roman Catholic bishop in Nazi Germany in 1941, and confronting a merciless anti-Christian dictatorship that was diametrically opposed to the Truth of Christ, but that would certainly do for enough of a challenge for one lifetime for anyone. (Hitler privately denounced Christianity as a Jewish superstition and looked forward after the War to "settling accounts", as he put it, with Christianity in general and Roman Catholicism in particular.)
Priests who spoke out against the Third Reich were being rounded up and shipped off to concentration camps. What was a bishop to do in the face of such massive evil? Well, for the Bishop of Munster, Clemens von Galen, there could be only one answer.
A German Count, von Galen was from one of the oldest aristocratic families in Westphalia. Always a German patriot, the political views of von Galen would have made my own conservatism seem a pale shade of pink in comparison. Prior to becoming a bishop, he was sometimes criticized for a haughty attitude and being unbending. He was chosen Bishop of Munster in 1933 only after other candidates, no doubt recognizing what a dangerous position it would be with the Nazis now in power, had turned it down. I am certain it did not hurt that he was an old friend of Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, the future Pope Pius XII.
Von Galen immediately demonstrated that he had not agreed to become Bishop of Munster in order to avoid danger. He successfully led a fight against the Nazi attempt to take over Catholic schools, citing article 21 of the Concordat between the Vatican and Nazi Germany. He then began a campaign, often using humor and ridicule, against the Aryan racial doctrines proposed by Alfred Rosenberg, chief Nazi race theorist, and a man even some high level Nazis thought was little better than a crank. Von Galen argued that Christianity totally rejected racial differences as determining how groups should be treated, and that all men and women were children of God and brothers and sisters in Christ. The Bishop spoke out against Nazi attacks on the "Jewish Old Testament" stating that Holy Writ was Holy Writ and that the Bible could not be altered to suit current prejudices.
In early 1937 he was summoned by Pope Pius XI to confer with him on an encyclical in German, highly unusual for an encyclical not to be written in Latin as the primary language, that the Pope was in the process of drafting. The encyclical was the blistering Mit Brennender Sorge (With Burning Heart) that the Pope ordered be read out in every parish in Germany on Palm Sunday 1937. A head long assault on almost every aspect of National Socialism, it may be read here.
The language in the encyclical was blunt, direct and no doubt benefited from von Galen's input and his experience from the battles he was waging with the Nazis. Continue reading
1. The most bountiful God, who is almighty, the plan of whose providence rests upon wisdom and love, tempers, in the secret purpose of his own mind, the sorrows of peoples and of individual men by means of joys that he interposes in their lives from time to time, in such a way that, under different conditions and in different ways, all things may work together unto good for those who love him.[1]
2. Now, just like the present age, our pontificate is weighed down by ever so many cares, anxieties, and troubles, by reason of very severe calamities that have taken place and by reason of the fact that many have strayed away from truth and virtue. Nevertheless, we are greatly consoled to see that, while the Catholic faith is being professed publicly and vigorously, piety toward the Virgin Mother of God is flourishing and daily growing more fervent, and that almost everywhere on earth it is showing indications of a better and holier life. Thus, while the Blessed Virgin is fulfilling in the most affectionate manner her maternal duties on behalf of those redeemed by the blood of Christ, the minds and the hearts of her children are being vigorously aroused to a more assiduous consideration of her prerogatives.
War Crimes
As the New York Times remembers Hiroshima, Richard Fernandez asks us to name the two greatest losses of civilian life in the Pacific war. ("Hint. In both cases the civilian casualties were greater than Hiroshima's. In one case the event took place on American soil.")
Meanwhile, Donald Sensing (Sense of Events) thinks it's past time for Western churches to stop treating Japan as victim every Aug. 6 and 9:
I refuse on principle to pollute God's ears with prayers dedicated only to Hiroshima Day and the dead of those cities while ignoring the tens of millions of Japanese-murdered souls who cry for remembrance, but do not get it, certainly not from the World Council of Churches and its allies who have no loathing but for their own civilization. If the prayers of the WCC's service are to be offered, let them be uttered on Aug. 14, the day Japan announced its surrender, or on Sept. 2, the day the surrender instruments were signed aboard USS Missouri. Let our churches no longer be accessories to Japan's blood-soaked silence but instead be voices for the millions of murdered victims of its bloodlust, imperialist militarism.
(HT: Bill Cork).
Under the Roman Sky
A new film, Under the Roman Sky, starring James Cromwell as Pius XII, details the heroic efforts of Pius XII to save the Jews of Rome from the Nazis, after Rome came under Nazi occupation subsequent to the fall of Mussolini following the Allied invasion of southern Italy in 1943.
Rabbi David G. Dalin, in his review of a Moral Reckoning, a tome by Daniel Goldhagen which sought to blame Catholicism for the Holocaust, details the efforts of the Pope to save the Jews of Rome:
Goldhagen's centerpiece is the outrageous allegation that Pius XII "did not lift a finger to forfend the deportations of the Jews of Rome" or of other parts of Italy "by instructing his priests and nuns to give the hunted Jewish men, women and children sanctuary." Much of this is lifted straight from anti-Pius books like Susan Zuccotti's Under His Very Windows–and thus Goldhagen repeats the errors of those books and adds extras, all his own, in his determined attempt to extend their thesis into over-the-top railings against the sheer existence of Catholicism.
Liberation of Rome
Today is the 66th anniversary of the D-Day landings. If the D-Day landings hadn't occurred, the big news would have been the liberation of Rome. The above video is color footage showing the entrance of some of the American troops into Rome on June 5, 1944, and an audience they had with Pope Pius XII.
The Pope, like almost all Romans, was joyous to be free from Nazi occupation, and he made that clear when he met with General Mark Clark.
"A few days after the liberation of Rome, Lieutenant General Mark Clark, Commander of the Fifth Allied Army, paid his respects to the Pope: "I am afraid you have been disturbed by the noise of my tanks. I am sorry." Pius XII smiled and replied: "General, any time you come to liberate Rome, you can make just as much noise as you like.""
A Papal Audience in Autumn 1941
Venerable Pius XII always believed that it was part of his duties as Pope to be accessible to virtually everyone who wished to see him. His audiences would normally be crowded as a result. In the autumn of 1941 he held an audience which was no different. Italians, pilgrims of all nations, German soldiers (German soldiers flocked to see the Pope until the Nazis forbade such visits, fearing the influence the words of the Pope, in direct contradiction to the doctrines of National Socialism, might have on the Landsers.), humanity from across the globe, all eager to see, and perhaps have a word with, the Vicar of Christ on Earth.
God Bless America?
If were to ask you what some Catholic traditionalists and some radical leftists had in common, you might be left scratching your head for a few moments. On most matters you wouldn't expect them to agree on much of anything. But there's one issue they do tend to converge upon, and that is their take on American history.
When I read some Catholic trad descriptions of American history and Catholicism's place in it, I find myself wondering if I'd accidentally picked up and began reading something by Charles Beard or Howard Zinn. I'm not associating these tendencies in order to delegitimize the Catholic trad critique – which contains, as do most critiques which catch on with at least some people, elements of truth. But the trad critique, in its shrillness and its refusal to engage historical facts that may falsify or at least cast reasonable doubt upon its substantive claims, deserves to be set alongside the vulgar leftist critique of American history. And bear in mind, I say this as a Catholic trad myself, albeit one who is more of a romanticist than a true reactionary.
I also say it as someone who once bought into this whole idea. As a young man emerging from a long and involved commitment to Marxism, both academic and political, into Catholicism, a religion I had little to do with since the age of 13, I had sort of stumbled upon this narrative on my own. There was still something romantic and alluring about rejecting "Americanism", now from a Catholic perspective.
After all, the two critiques often make use of a lot of the same themes – a rejection of individualism, of bourgeois Protestant values, a savage critique of the Enlightenment, invocations of slavery and other manifestations of racism and inequality, and perhaps more specific to the Catholic angle, reminders of Freemasonry and the Illuminati (though to be fair, Mozart was a Freemason too, back in the days when it wasn't yet forbidden by the Church. I don't think that's ever stopped a trad from enjoying his Requiem, but I digress).
Now, given the popularity of this critique, not only among trads, but also among the Catholic left, the "peace and justice" crowd – of course, for much different reasons and to much different ends – one would surely expect to find a solid foundation or at least an implied resonance within Church history, tradition, and teaching.
If you hold that expectation, prepare to be utterly disappointed. Or delighted, as the case may be.
Liberal Capitalism and Catholic Economic Theory
The so-called American conservative movement is not conservative in the sense that many of its proponents would suggest. In reality, American conservatism, in many ways seeks to preserve and reassert classical liberalism. In fact, the entirety of the American political spectrum is liberal in different ways and varying degrees—but it is unmistakably and manifestly liberal.
This should come as no surprise since many of the Founding Fathers were men of the Enlightenment and there is no more obvious case than that of Thomas Jefferson, the author of that quintessential Enlightenment masterpiece The Declaration of Independence. The philosophical paradigm by 1776 had already shifted—anthropology was evolving toward an increasingly false view of man and the natural law (because the philosophical concept of "nature" was changing) was something different than that articulated by classical philosophers, which had been incorporated into the Christian tradition.
The American legal tradition seeking to adhere to the letter of the social contract, i.e. The Constitution of the United States of America, seems to have individual liberty at issue in every question of law. This, to be sure, is not something to be regarded as a problem in and of itself, insofar as the operative definition of liberty is not philosophically false and the norms of justice, in the classical sense, are not contradicted.
To the learned mind, it is patently clear that the predominant philosophical paradigm, anthropological assumptions on human nature, concept of the nation-state, view of society, of freedom, of responsibility, and so forth found in the Western world is undoubtedly borne of Enlightenment thinking. The United States is most certainly no exception. In America, across the political spectrum, there is a dubious philosophical premise, that of an abstract ideal of autonomy, which, no matter how admirable or attractive it may seem, is radically incomplete. Indeed, man does possess a free will, but the form of freedom requires content. Continue reading
Pope Pius XII: Ready for Sainthood?
In the closing days of December 2009, Pope Benedict XVI signed a decree of "heroic virtues" of Pope Pius XII, which places him on the path to sainthood. This decision has caused a worldwide uproar among Jews, dissident Catholics, and others who believe that Pius was silent, or worse yet, complicit, in the Holocaust.
In the first two decades following World War II, there was certainly no public perception, among Jews, Catholics, or anyone else that Pius had been silent to a fault during the Holocaust, much less that he was "Hitler's Pope." Prominent Jewish leaders such as the first Israeli Prime Minister, Golda Meir, as well as Chief Rabbi Isaac Herzog of Palestine praised Pius. TIME Magazine reported in 1953 that Pius was "to Romans and to much of the world, something of a living and familiar saint." It was widely known that Pius XII, to a greater extent than many secular heads of state, opposed the designs of the Third Reich. When Pius was able to speak to the world, as he did on Christmas in 1942, there was no question as to where he stood on the tragedies unfolding worldwide.
Venerable Pope Pius XII
Pope Benedict has decreed Pope Pius XII Venerable which moves the hero Pope of World War II closer to sainthood. I deem Pope Pius XII a hero because, confronting one of the cruelest tyrants in the lamentable chronicles of human crime, he saved hundreds of thousands of potential victims. Millions of people alive today owe their lives to the actions of Pius XII. Jewish historian Martin Gilbert, the world's foremost authority on Sir Winston Churchill, and one of the most highly regarded historians of the World War II era, has stated as follows:
"Gilbert replied: "Please read my new book, 'The Righteous.' I've written extensively there about the Catholic Church, some of whose leaders played a remarkable part in the rescue of Jews, many of whose priests and [...] ordinary Catholics played a remarkable part."
"The Pope himself was denounced by Dr. Goebbels" — the Nazi propaganda minister — "for having taken the side of the Jews in the Christian message, in December 1942, where he criticized racism," Gilbert said.
He continued: "The Pope also played a part, which I describe in some detail, in the rescue of three-quarters of the Jews of Rome, at very short notice, when the SS came in and tried to round up all 5,000, at least 4,000 of whom were given shelter in the Vatican itself and other Catholic places. …
"So I hope that my book can restore, in a way, on the foundation of historical fact, the true and wonderful achievements of Catholics in helping Jews during the war." Continue reading

Macromobility Prediction for High-Priority Resource Reservation in Wireless Networks
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Efficient management of mobile network resources is a critical task for successful operation. Giving higher priority and Quality of Service to applications with a high return on invest value, demands for intelligent distribution of bit rates and radio access. The research approach proposed here is based on the fact, that users cannot move freely, but are restricted to streets or rails in position, direction and speed. Following the geographical topology while in motion some locations generate a unique signature by forcing the user to traverse similar sequences of base stations. The signatures can be revealed by applying pattern detection methods on the historical user movements, allowing to predict future positions of the user on a large time scale, especially to reserve resources for rescue workers.

Adapt Training9923 SW Arctic Dr, Beaverton, OR 97005
(503) 646-8482
ADAPT Training is a center for therapy, athletics and fitness in Beaverton, Oregon. Our purpose is to re-educate the muscular systems of our members so their bodies can function in the most efficient way possible, the way nature intended. From obstacle course to stadium stairs, ADAPT Training has created the optimal environment geared to handle every stage of human body development. Your body needs specific movements to function correctly. Whether it's rehabilitation from a spinal injury, re-discovering physical fitness or high-end athletes intent on maximizing speed, quickness and power, the ADAPT training facility has no limitations. We're a progressive environment where you'll never max out and never encounter a physical challenge you cannot overcome. The human body will ultimately perform to an entirely new standard of excellence when the laws of nature are utilized, not ignored. At ADAPT Training we see durability as the single most important component of athletic training. Our workouts for players and top-end ADAPT athletes are dynamic and progressive. We guarantee coaches and athletes that we can design an athlete that moves like a gymnast and has the durability of a four year-old. You cannot train for one athletic component. Isolated training leads to athletic limitations.To construct a complete athlete, you need to develop balance, quickness, speed, and strength and the body's ability to utilize all its athletic components at once. ADAPT teaches athletes how to master all their physical talents unleashing untapped athletic potential by focusing on developing full-body power. ADAPT Training will fine-tune your ability for explosive power by prescribing customized exercises to fit your individual training level. You will never be asked to perform a movement that is not consistent with your muscular function. ADAPT ensures the athlete achieves balance throughout the entire body, talent in every direction, and eliminates all non-contact related injuries. Our goal is to get athletes' bodies out of the way of their talent. Looking for a unique program that redefines athleticism and durability? ADAPT Training. Stay in the game. Balancing the Musculo-Skeletal System The ADAPT training system is a human performance development program. ADAPT training is formed around the principles of how your body adapts to specific physical stimulus to produce the desired results. This philosophy uses individualized assessment and personalized programs to identify and correct muscular dysfunction. The goal is to restore, develop, and maintain a balanced muscular and skeletal system.The ADAPT training model is based on the principle that the human body has a specific design and blueprint. There are four major reference points to the blueprint. We identify them as the structural joints (shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles). These joints are designed to maintain a specific relationship with each other to evenly distribute the impact of the weight of the body and maintain the ideal alignment. The structural joints are designed to be able to work independently and unconsciously throughout their entire range of motion. The durability and performance of your entire body is dependent on maintaining the function of your structural joints Muscles Responsible for Joint Function - joining of two or more bones makes up a joint. Bones are inanimate objects that are under the control of the muscles that are attached to them. The position and movement of the structural joints are dependent on properly functioning muscles. There is an ideal pattern established to fire the muscles in a proper sequence to allow these joints to remain in equal relationship to each other. This should be an unconscious neuromuscular response. When the body is functioning in an anatomically correct position, it is designed to handle an amazing amount of stress and pounding without injury.

Dismal ticket sales put Heineken organisers on the back foot

Record Heineken Cup semi-final attendances
Saracens face playing their Heineken Cup semi-final against Toulon this weekend in front of empty stands after it emerged that only 20,000 tickets have been sold for the game at Twickenham.
The decision to stage the match at the 82,000-capacity stadium was taken by ERC which has full control over deciding the venues for the semi-finals and final of the competition. Although Saracens have played previously at Wembley - and attracted good crowds - that ground was unavailable. The news left ERC scrambling to put a positive spin on its decision.
"With just a three-week lead in to the Heineken Cup semi-finals, venues are pre-selected," an ERC spokesman told the Times. "There was no suitable venue for the semi-final in the area with a capacity in the region of 30,000 available to ERC and the RFU.
"Twickenham was selected from the limited number of available venues. It was the first choice of Saracens, provided best access for travelling fans and works well with a 32,000-capacity in the lower bowl, with the potential to increase to meet demand."
While ERC will be hoping for a late surge in interest, a return to poor weather at the weekend is likely to deter casual fans, as are the the ticket prices, which start at £35. To add to the embarrassment of such a showcase match being played against a backdrop of banks of empty seats, the annual Army v Navy match this Saturday has advance sales of 71,000.
And the presence of Jonny Wilkinson, who is expected to line up for Toulon, was also expected to bring in the crowds. He has re-committed to the Top 14 side on a one-year deal, but Sunday's match could possibly be the last time supporters in England get to see the World Cup-winner run out at Twickenham.
Saracens chief executive Edward Griffiths agreed it was "not ideal" but remained diplomatic while pointing out the issue went to the heart of the debate over who should control the competition. "The ERC executive are operating within the guidelines that they need to operate within," he told the paper. "What I would say, though, is that if you think there is something inherently wrong with a competition run by unions and played by clubs, yes there probably is.
"The Champions League in football is not run by the FA, the German Football Association and the French Federation. It would be interesting to see what it would look like if it was."

A high-profile Indiana broadcaster and business executive hopes his new book helps readers learn to deal with life's unexpected challenges. Hoosier native Ken Beckley is a former televsion anchor and executive vice president at Indianapolis-based hhgregg inc. (NYSE: HGG). In a Studio (i) interview, Beckley discusses his book "Knuckleball: The Uncertainties of (a) Life."

April 9, 2012
News Release
Indianapolis, Ind. -- For those who have pondered whether their dreams can ever become reality, Ken Beckley brings to life the fictional story of one man who learned to live through the unexpected.
Beckley, a veteran local television news and advertising personality and former executive, illustrates the life of young Davie Miller in Knuckleball: The Uncertainties of (a) Life, following him from rural Indiana in 1955 through his journey into adulthood. After his childhood dream of professional baseball is shattered, decades of unexpected changes lead to a moving conclusion, and an improbable resurfacing of the dream Davie thought was out of his grasp.
�I developed the idea for Knuckleball after attending my first adult baseball camp with the Los Angeles Dodgers,� says Beckley. �I was injured during that camp, and while the developments were emotionally devastating, my faith led to a most unexpected silver lining.�
Beckley has been seen on television for more than 40 years as a broadcaster, university official, and executive vice president and public face of the electronics giant H.H. Gregg. Currently, he serves as a board member and spokesperson for Indiana Members Credit Union. Like his novel�s main character, Beckley is also a native of a small Indiana town, and used his life experiences and faith as a foundation in the creation of Knuckleball.
As readers embark on Davie�s own expedition through the mountains of life, they�re sure to smile at the illustration of his interaction with challenging clients through a rewarding public relations career. Uncertainties bring twists and turns that repeatedly test Davie�s faith, until an unforeseen gift changes his life forever.
�A knuckleball is a baseball pitch that is unpredictable in how it behaves from the time it leaves the pitcher�s hand until it reaches home plate,� says Beckley. �Life is truly like a knuckleball � unpredictable, and sometimes the bottom drops out.�

About the author
Ken Beckley enjoyed a long career in television news and served as executive vice president of H.H. Gregg, as well as president and CEO of Indiana University�s Alumni Association. He is the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Service Award from Indiana University, and the Sagamore of the Wabash Award from Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. Beckley is an inductee in the Indiana Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Knuckleball is his first novel.

Britney Spears' rep is calling BS on Eve's insinuation that Britney didn't sing on her new release, "Scream & Shout."
Jeff Raymond, B.S.'s publicist, tells TMZ, "It's absolute BS. Britney sang the song. Will.i.am wanted her for this song and she sang on it."
Eve went on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" and said, "I heard that might not be Britney."
A source from the recording studio cattily tells TMZ, "Was Eve even in Studio. Didn't know. She's clearly jealous. I didn't even know she still sings."
To be honest, that doesn't sound like Britney at all.
except for the "Britney bytch" splice in , it does sound like another person (drag queen?).
Maybe the ooh we-oh-oh-ee-oh part MIGHT be Britney.
But the BRIDGE ("When we up in the club...turn the shyt up/all eyes on us) & CHORUS ( "I wanna scream and shout and let it out") doesn't sound remotely like Britney has ever sounded.
from what i'm told about recording studio engineers they can make someone who can't sing sound like they can.
for instance kim z. from real housewives hit "tardy for the party".
it's britney bitch
It sounds SO auto-tuned & over-produced, that could have been just about ANYBODY sining.
And Brit looks like s**t - with with all the makeup, over-lighting, etc.
I had no idea this was her song... Considering Will. I. Am is singing the whole damn thing...
That British voice probably is Tulisa. She's not much of a singer, and is best known for her backstage beejays. lol
Eve looks like she could be an illegitimate child of Kim Kardashian.....
It sounds like Madonna, but you have to remember, Britney is severely auto-tuned at all times. They just tuned her voice much lower than normal here. She doesn't have that squeaky voice on this.
I call BS on the whole mainstream music industry! Nothing but Bieberesque pop garbage that's so freaken autotuned you can't even tell whether or not it's a human voice singing! I'm not really suprised. With the lowering of education in this country, our entertainment industry is lowering its standards as well. Why work on music for the descriminating, intelligent crowd when it's so much easier to shove McMusic down the obese sheeples' throats!
Eve sweetie, you've been washed up for a while now with no sign of a comeback. Chill out you hatin hag
Does it really matter in the end with Eve claim; Since Britney can't sing for sh!t, and if it came down to these 2 in a showdown ...lets just say i'll be riding WITH THIS ONE:
the first 3/4 of the song if it is her, is them OVER using autotune.
It's difficult for a butterfly to escape if it's caught in a net.
No need to use someone else's voice. Most of the people you hear on the radio can't sing. They just try to sing or talk into a mic and then a computer program is used to make the music. Just like when they make The Chipmunk songs. People like Britney are just the brand and picture, kinda like Little Debbie's cookies.
ALL vocals on the entire song are so processed in post production that it could be anyone singing on that song. It makes absolutely no difference anyways. No one buys that type of music for the vocals or the lyrics. Artists today are selected for their looks, not their talent. Someone like Janis Joplin wouldn't be able to get in the door of a record company today.

You're superstitious, especially when it comes to watching your Colts. Each game, you wear the same lucky hat with that worn-out jersey 'cause it brings Indy magical winning powers. When things aren't going your team's way, you'll switch up your wardrobe, your dieting habits, your pet's food and anything else you can think of to get your Colts back on the winning track. One thing that you can easily change while watching the big game and sipping on your favorite drink is this 16oz. pint glass. This glass cup features a large team logo surrounded by allover smaller changeable team logos. At room temp, the small logos stay a light color. But once you throw some ice in that baby and cool that glass down, the logos fill in with a team color. This glass cup will make changing your superstitious game day routine simple and painless!

text: General: We May Have Been Able to Save Benghazi Victims, We'll Never Know Print article Send a Tip by Charlie Spiering 1 May 2014 post a comment Retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell admitted during a House Oversight hearing Thursday that saving the Americans under attack in Benghazi might have been possible, but he added they would never know for sure. Lovell was in command of the U.S. Africa Command's headquarters in Germany during the attack, but he has since retired. Lovell said they looked to the State Department in regards to Libyan authorities and worked to get "situational awareness" of the attack as it unfolded. "Did they ever tell you to go save the people in Benghazi?" Rep. Jason Chaffetz asked. "Not to my knowledge, sir," Lovell replied. "Four individuals died, sir. We obviously did not respond in time to get there," Lovell stated. "Could we have?" Chaffetz asked. "We may have been able to, but we'll never know," Lovell answered.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Car-to-car shooting latest violent incident to brand Vegas as dangerous even as crime drops
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Variously known as an adult playground and Disneyland for grown-ups, Las Vegas brands itself as a place where tourists can enjoy a sense of edginess with no real danger.
But a series of high-profile episodes of random violence amid the throngs of tourists is threatening Sin City's reputation as a padded room of a town where people can cut loose with no fear of consequences.
A car-to-car shooting and fiery crash that killed two bystanders and an aspiring rapper Thursday followed a bizarre elevator stabbing and a movie theatre parking lot shooting.
Though crime has been falling on the glitzy stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that houses most of the city's major casinos, tourism officials worry that vacationers and convention planners could begin to steer clear of the town because of a perception of mayhem.
"We are concerned because it can create misperceptions about the safety of the city, the safety of the Strip," said Gary Thompson, spokesman for Caesars Entertainment, which owns 10 resorts in the tourist zone, including Caesars Palace and Paris Las Vegas.
Casinos are particularly worried about convention business, which helps fill rooms and gambling tables between weekends. Corporate planners can swing the market with a few decisions, said Gordon Absher, spokesman for MGM Resorts International.
"And that decision will bring thousands of people," he said. MGM operates several major casino-hotels, including CityCenter, where Thursday's convulsion of violence originated.
Violent crime, which includes murder, rape, robbery and assault, in the city's main tourist hub fell 13 per cent in 2012, from 256 to 223 incidents, and is down 11 per cent for the first part of 2013, with 50 incidents reported. The number of rapes has fallen by more than a third.
There have been two homicides just off the Strip this year, in addition to the three deaths Thursday, compared to none in the area during the first month and a half of 2012.
Had they taken place elsewhere, the incidents that made headlines in recent weeks would never have become national stories, Thompson said. But when the crime happens in a city that welcomes 40 million visitors a year, people tend to care even if they haven't seen the neon lights in years.
"It's like, 'I was there! I stayed in there in Las Vegas! I walked that part of the Strip!'" he said.
The spate of violence started just before the new year, when a man shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, an Excalibur hotel-casino concierge clerk, before fatally shooting himself.
The following week, a blackjack dealer was wrestled to the ground at the Bellagio with razor blades in both hands. She is charged with killing a 10 year-old girl and then slashing her co-worker's face.
On New Year's Eve, a man allegedly fired a gunshot into the floor of the crowded Circus Circus casino during an argument. A Saudi air force sergeant is accused of raping a 13-year-old boy in the rooms above the same night.
A nighttime shooting outside a Strip movie theatre left two people critically wounded earlier this month. Last week, two random men allegedly assaulted a visitor in the elevator at the Mandalay Bay property, tackling him and stabbing him in such a frenzy that they also stabbed each other.
During the same period, Las Vegas courts sentenced a Florida teacher for killing a stranger with a single punch after trading words in a casino bathroom, and heard the case of two law students charged with beheading an exotic bird at the Flamingo casino-hotel.
The shoot-'em-up car chase that closed the Strip for 12 hours Thursday was the most public and deadly incident yet.
A person in a luxury SUV opened fire on an aspiring rapper in a Maserati near one of the busiest intersections on the iconic corridor. As the bullets flew, the Maserati ran a red light and crashed into a taxi, which burst into flames. The taxi driver, a passenger and the rapper were killed, and six people were injured.
Casino executives say they do all they can to keep visitors safe, with armies of guards, networks of high-definition surveillance cameras and undercover security workers scattered throughout nearly every major attraction.
"Unless you are a complete idiot, you're not going to want to commit many crimes in or around a casino because you're going to get caught," Thompson said.
But catching a criminal isn't the same as stopping the crime.
Commissioners in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, are weighing steps to increase safety, including installing additional cameras in public spaces and broadening the sidewalks. In October, they banned potentially dangerous objects including fireworks, knives and toy guns from the Strip.
But real guns remain permissible. Nevada's relaxed gun laws, including the ability to carry them openly, have made Las Vegas an attractive spot for shooting ranges and gun shows.
Some observers think police should step up their presence on the Strip, just as they did after three slayings in 2011.
"Clearly they should be looking into this because they have had a string of incidents now, and while they've all been random incidents, they all did happen," said David Schwartz, the Director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
On Thursday, police spokesman Jose Hernandez said the department had no plans to send additional officers to the Strip, noting that crime remains relatively low for a town that accommodates so many visitors each day.
But with violent crime, as with so much else in Vegas, perception may outweigh reality. As a place built on the promise of letting loose, the city must work extra hard to banish all fear of danger, said Tony Henthorne, a marketing professor at the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration in Las Vegas.
"It's important for any destination that relies on tourism for a major percentage of its income to appear safe," he said, "and also actually to be safe."

Sarah Bird, CEO Timebanking UK Kaaren Morris, our new Regional Networks Project Manager has extensive timebanking experience and is already a valuable asset to TBUK. She is establishing new regional networks and also meeting with existing networks to see how we can help support our members and enhance the service already offered. We would love the regions to be more connected and we know you would too. By tailoring training and events to our members and by our members we are strengthening the networks and working in collaboration. Timebanking will be stronger and more resilient than ever before. Already there are dates in the diary for the South West, Midlands and North West – please check the members area for future regional meeting dates. "Thank you to everyone who replied with interest to host a regional meeting. I've been in touch with some of you already to plan meetings, and I'm looking forward to working together with all our members to plan a schedule of dates throughout the year.'' To make contact with Kaaren, email her on email@example.com Andreas Weide is currently working on IT, websites and design work for Timebanking UK and our members. He is updating our website and involved in numerous projects that we are implementing. Andi is also the broker of the Fair Shares South Cotswolds Time Bank. We would love to see your photos, videos and newsletters to share with other time banks around the country so please send them to email@example.com to showcase the fantastic work the time banks are doing.
Sarah Bird met with a group of international like-minded people in France who came together to share ideas, suggestions and challenges around their countries using timebanking and community currencies. Those in attendance were from UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Tunisia and Brazil. One of the opening comments was that "The world has a social and economic crisis so we need to change behaviour to build a better world……if you want to plough straight, tie your plough to a star."

April 2014 was a good month for Timebanking UK in the media.
At the Beginning of the month, out Chair Alison Paule was interviewed on the Mark Forrest show, and was able to get information about timebanking and Timebanking UK out to the general public.
You can listen to her interview here: Alison Paule – Radio interview
Later that same month our own CEO was also interviewed on BBC Radio 4. here: Sarah Bird – BBC Radio 4 interview
After both appearances, interest in timebanking increased, and this could be seen by the rise in the number of people contacting us with enquiries.]]>

Partnership with hOurworld, USA Time & Talents timebanking software (TnT) is available in the UK and Timebanking UK will now be offering it to all of our member time banks and taking on the sole responsibility for rolling it out across the country under a new and exciting agreement with hOurworld Cooperative (www.hOurworld.org), who created this state of the art software . TnT is a powerful tool for both brokers and members. It is easy to use and members can post offers and requests, manage their own pages and leave feedback. There is a reporting feature for easy data collection and most importantly, it will ease administrative duties for brokers, allowing more time for relationship building and networking. Timebanking UK are mindful of safeguarding issues and have ensured that this software is flexible and can be customised so that Time Brokers can oversee exchanges if preferred. For more information about this partnership click here. Click here to view some screenshots of Time and Talents. If you would like to start using Time and Talents contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information and links on demo pages, what support TBUK can offer and how you can get started. We will be using a phased-in approach and will give you an estimated time of activation depending upon the response received across the country. Big Local is working with Timebanking UK
Local Trust and Timebanking UK are exploring ways of supporting Big Local areas interested in the approach of Timebanking to connect to Timebanks locally. If you know of a Big Local project near you, get in contact with us as we could help introduce timebanking to them and explore ways of working together.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have a Big Local in your area and would like to explore working together.
Town Teams and Timebanking UK have teamed up! The Association of Town & City Management (ATCM) and Timebanking UK are teaming up to help bring communities together in town centres across England and make great local places. As part of ATCM's support for Town Teams, funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government, Timebanking UK will help develop up to five brand new timebank locations in England. Timebanking is a fantastic way for local people to connect with each other and support their community by swapping skills and services in exchange for others.
Chris Hurst, ATCM Town Team Programme Manager, said "we are delighted to be working with Timebanking UK to provide another new way of supporting town centres in England. This is a great opportunity for Town Teams to get expert help in developing their own local timebank and using local skills and enthusiasm to help make their local area a great place to live, work and relax."
Sarah Bird, CEO of Timebanking UK is thrilled to be working with Town Teams across England and hopes that by sharing best practice and the timebanking concept, each area will be able to mobilise, reward and inspire local people to get involved. Publicising your newsletters on our website Please send us copies of your newsletter for all to see and read to promote the diversity of time banks across the country. Email them to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will upload them directly onto our website! Introduction to Timebanking: Monday 14th April 2-5pm, London. Click here to view details.

Time & Talents' timebanking software (TnT) is available in the UK and Timebanking UK will now be offering it to all of our member time banks and taking on the sole responsibility for rolling it out across the country under a new and exciting agreement with hOurworld Cooperative (www.hOurworld.org), who created this state of the art software .
The Time & Talents software is a powerful tool for both brokers and members. It is easy to use and members can post offers and requests, manage their own pages and leave feedback. There is a reporting feature for easy data collection and most importantly, it will ease administrative duties for brokers, allowing more time for relationship building and networking.
Timebanking UK are mindful of safeguarding issues and have ensured that this software is flexible and can be customised so that Time Brokers can oversee exchanges if preferred.
Time and Talents is the most widely used software in the USA and is now used by 150 time banks – and growing. Stephen Beckett built Time and Talents when he was a member of his local time bank in Maine. He now heads a team of programmers, including our own Ian Toplis, to insure it continues to meet the ever evolving requirements of its users.
Time Brokers and members are welcome to input into the software design and functionality. We call this "Open Innovation" and will always welcome your ideas!
Ian is already working closely with Stephen to make sure there will be a minimum disruption to service when time banks switch to TnT and that all data will be safely transferred and stored at the time bank and in each member's account.
We are equally delighted to bring into our extended family the two other members of hOurworld, Linda Hogan and Terry Daniels. Terry specialises in the development of community co-ops, which is a lovely fit with timebanking. Linda was a founding member of the Portland, Maine time bank and has been active in the not-for-profit world for 30 years.
Martin Simon, Founder of TBUK, is familiar with their work and has this to say about the alliance with hOurworld.
"At the last count there were 30 different software programmes available for use by time banks and other reciprocal exchange systems.
Governments, Corporations, Local Authorities, Voluntary and Community Associations and inspired individuals from around the world have built and commissioned their own software.
A long term ambition must be to bring as many of these software programmes as possible together to " talk" to each other – so that people in my street can connect with people in your street, whether we are members of a community time bank, a local or global virtual currency, a time credits scheme, LETS or any other system.
The first step towards this ambition, as I see it, is for all that can to come together and co-produce the best tried and tested open innovation software that has been designed by experienced doers and thinkers. I am in no doubt that Time and Talents is that system."
The Lewisham Local (a Time Bank initiative developed and run by Rushey Green) Time Bank has been using Time and Talents for over a year. Here is what they have to say about their experience
"The Time and Talent software has really helped to make time banking in Lewisham more accessible and interactive. In the past members had to log all of their hours exchanged with a broker, who would then have to input all of this information into a programme. Time and Talents is not only very user friendly but also reduces all of this admin time by allowing members to log their own hours. It also allows them to create message boards and discuss what they would like to do. As well as completing their personal profiles with a photo, a bit about themselves and all of the things they would like to offer and receive. And as if all of this wasn't enough, there is also a fantastic smartphone app.
It's safe to use, hiding addresses and email details and the coordinator can set the email function to their address for anyone with concerns. The support we have received from the Timer and Talents team in the US has been fantastic and I've never waited more than an hour for a response. Updates have been really useful and the system never crashes and doesn't get shut down for maintenance like a lot of other sites.
With Time and Talent, members have more opportunity to communicate with each other and more control. As a broker, I can spend less time doing paper work and data input and more time supporting our members and helping them to get the most out of time banking."
Simone Boothe
Linda Hogan and Terry Daniels were in England in mid-December 2013. They were deeply impressed by the local passion and deep level of involvement they experienced in visits to local time banks and are eager to meet more of us. If your time bank is interested in meeting and hosting a visit from Linda & Terry, or visiting the USA, please contact Sarah.
2014 promises to be yet another exciting year!]]>

Since his split with Tran, Breezy and Rih Rih have been more open about how close they are. They were caught canoodling in the audience during Jay-Z's concert at the Barclays Center on October 4. It's undeniable that they can't be apart so we're just waiting to see if they make their reconciliation official.

Poem is nice.
And poem is difficult to comment.
Pain is uninvited.. In life.
Before this,
life is uninvited too. (Report) Reply
Theodora (Theo) Onken
It always arrives uninvited
Into my life much rain must fall...
Un-nerving me and my well being
My body? Why pain wants it all;
It has become a constant companion
With nary a break or a pause...
Awakening every day in wonder and what if's...
Of the uncomfortable this condition does cause;
It travels a circuit - almost constant
There is no position that seems right- -
Inflamation's pain - is truly unrelenting
As i continue to fight with all my might;
It keeps me a prisoner and bed ridden...
No reprieve is ever given to me- -
A visitor that i prayed would leave- -
Alas, realizing - that is never to be;
It reminds me always of it's angry presence...
Oft' times making me cry...
As i am left here in suspended animation- -
Biding my time - just waiting to die;

Dear Theo,
I think I can understand a bit of the suffering expressed here. Pain feels like being in a desert full of heat and ennui. When we finally find a position with a bit less pain, it is like an oasis. I expressed this in one poem (Y/. a tough ride) which I invite you to read. I truly wish you can find many oasis today where the pain moves a bit to the background, I wish you lots and lots of strength. (Report) Reply
