Crude oil plunged 9.2% last week marking its first decline in five weeks. Crude oil moved in a range of $10.44/bbl last week (87.99-77.55/bbl) the widest range seen since the week ended Aug.12. Crude oil fell last week weighed down by sharp decline in equity markets and strength in US dollar. Crude oil started the week on a weak note as rating downgrade for Italy fuelled concerns about Euro-zone economies and pushed US dollar higher against the Euro. Crude oil however recovered ahead of FOMC meet as expectations of supportive measures by Fed pulled US dollar lower. Crude oil however plunged sharply after the Fed meet as the central bank warned about downside risk to the economy. Extending the losses further, crude oil plunged more than $2 Friday but ended with modest decline. Financial markets plunged after Fed's meet failed to meet market expectations. The US Fed announced the much-expected Operation Twist to rebalance its balance sheet however, the central bank noted significant downside risk to the economy. This is shift from its previous stance of downside risk to the economy. The downbeat outlook by US Fed and disappointment that Fed did not announce any additional measures initiated a sell-off across markets. Commodities came under pressure further as US dollar strengthened. The US currency gained sharply as Fed's decision to not infuse any more liquidity lent support. The dollar also gained support from safe haven demand as sell-off across markets induced risk aversion. Euro came under pressure also amid increasing concerns about health of Euro-zone economies and as recent ECB meet indicated a shift in policy stance. Concerns about US economy were accentuated by mixed economic data and as Moody's downgraded three American banks. Concerns about Euro-zone economies were high following Italian rating downgrade, mixed economic data and delayed talks about another trance of EU and IMF loan. Meanwhile IMF lowered global economic growth forecast for next year. Financial markets in general reacted negatively to Fed's downbeat outlook however recent economic data already pointed towards slowdown in recovery. Euro-zone debt problems continue to intensify however EU members will continue to intervene to rebuild confidence. Overall, crude oil has plunged sharply amid sell- off across financial market. Near term trend will continue to be determined by direction in equity and currency markets and a sharp recovery is unlikely unless markets stabilize. Focus will continue to be US economic data and talks about Greek loan tranche. Energy Weekly Please See Disclaimer on the Last Page 1 77 26 Sept 2011 Energy Weekly STOCKS AND DEMAND Weekly inventory report released last week was mixed. API noted an unexpected increase in US crude oil stocks. EIA, on the other hand, noted a much bigger than expected decline in US crude oil stocks. EIA noted a 7.336 mn bbl decline in US crude oil stocks as against expectations of a 0.7 mn bbl decline. Crude stocks fell amid a 2.2% decline in imports and 1.3% increase in refinery usage. While crude stocks fell, EIA noted a 3.295 mn bbl increase in gasoline stocks as against forecast of a 1.2 mn bbl decline. Distillate stocks fell by 0.874 mn bbl as against forecast of a 1 mn bbl decline. Meanwhile, demand improved last week. Crude oil demand, as measured by total product supplied averaged 19.024 mn bpd which is 2% higher than last week. Gasoline demand rose 0.1% to average 8.858 mn bpd while distillate demand rose 5.9% to average 3.875 mn bpd. Overall, US crude oil stocks are above the upper limit of the average range for this time of the year while gasoline and distillate stocks are in the upper range for this time of year. Higher stocks in US storage and concerns about health of the US economy have continued to weigh on WTI prices, while Brent crude is gaining support from tighter North Sea markets and robust Asian demand. This has resulted in wide gap between WTI and Brent prices. The spread has narrowed from recent highs but is still near $24/bbl level. We expect the spread to narrow as expectations that Libyan oil supplies may resume soon will limit upside in Brent prices. Also US crude oil stocks at Cushing, the delivery terminal gave fallen for past few weeks. CURRENCY MOVEMENT The US dollar index rose 2.3% last week marking its third weekly gain in four weeks. The US dollar gained 2.2% against the Euro and 2% against the Pound. Japanese yen noted a marginal 0.2% decline against the US dollar while Swiss Franc fell by 4.6% last week. The US dollar rose sharply against the Euro last week as rating downgrade for Italy and uncertainty about next tranche of EU-IMF loan for Greece fuelled concerns about health of the economy. The greenback rose sharply after the Fed meet as the central bank officials announced a plan to rebalance its balance sheet but did not infuse more liquidity in the market. Meanwhile, Fed's downbeat economic outlook for US economy triggered a sell-off across markets increasing dollar's demand against riskier currencies. The intervention by Swiss National Bank has also reduces Franc's demand as a safe haven asset. The British Pound came under pressure also as BOE minutes indicated that central bank officials are willing to consider supportive measures for the economy. The US dollar has gained sharply in past few weeks however further rally will be limited by weakening outlook for US economy. ECONOMIC DATA US economic data released last week was mixed. Building permits, existing home sales and leading indicators was better than expectations while housing starts, weekly jobless claims and NAHB housing markets failed to meet market expectations. Euro-zone economic data was largely disappointing raising concerns about the economy. German and Euro-zone manufacturing PMI, Euro-zone industrial orders and consumer confidence failed to meet market expectations. German ZEW economic sentiment was however better than expectations. UK economic calendar was largely empty but consumer confidence was slightly better than expectations. China's HSBC manufacturing PMI also indicated drop in growth. SPECULATIVE POSITIONS The recent decline in crude oil price was coupled with a decline in net long position. As per the US CFTC report for the week ended Sept.20, non-commercial traders for crude futures cut long and short positions by 2.4% and 1.6% respectively. Net long position was cut by 3.3% to 159965 contracts. This is the first decline in net long position in five weeks. OUTLOOK Crude oil trades weaker today as financial markets remain under pressure amid weakening outlook for US and Euro-zone economies. Crude oil will continue to take cues from equity and currency markets and any sharp recovery is unlikely unless market stabilizes. The recent downward momentum could pull crude oil prices till $75/bbl however we believe that prices should stabilize then. Focus will continue to be on situation in US and Euro-zone. For US, focus will be on trend in equity markets and economic data. For Euro-zone focus will be on talks about changes in EU aid fund and Greek's next EU-IMF loan tranche. Also in focus will be trend in European bond yields. Key events this week include US GDP and consumer confidence data, Bernanke's speech. On Euro-front, focus will be on Italian bond sale and vote on changes in EFSF fund. While focus remains on demand situation amid concerns about US economy, focus will also be on situation in the Middle-east as tensions prevail in Syria and Libya. Energy Weekly Please See Disclaimer on the Last Page 2 77 26 Sept 2011 Energy Weekly NATURAL GAS HIGHLIGHTS • NYMEX natural gas fell 2.8% last week marking its second weekly decline • Natural gas fell last week weighed down by mild weather forecasts and concerns about the economy • EIA notes an 89 Bcf increase in US working gas stocks as against expectations of 91 Bcf increase • Natural gas speculators raised net short position for the third consecutive week • The number of rigs drilling for gas in the U.S. was unchanged at 912 last week MARKET ANALYSIS NYMEX natural gas ended lower for four of five trading sessions last week and ended with a decline of 2.8% marking its second weekly fall. Natural gas fell as low as $3.662/mmBtu yesterday, the lowest level seen since Oct.2010. Natural gas came under pressure weighed down mild weather forecasts, concerns about health of US economy and expectations of higher production in the US. Storm activity has also weakened in the Atlantic and none of the weather patterns are seen as a threat to energy infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico. Selling pressure in crude oil and other energy futures also weighed on natural gas prices. Natural gas hit the lowest level since Dec. last Thursday amid a sell-off across commodities following Fed's downbeat outlook for US economy. Natural gas however noted some recovery after EIA noted a slightly smaller than expected increase in US working gas stocks. Overall, natural gas remains under pressure weighed down by mild weather forecasts, weakening outlook for the economy and expectations of higher production in US. Natural gas speculators have build on huge short positions and bouts of short covering could result in some rallies in prices. However a sharp rise is unlikely in the near term. Natural gas is likely to enter a lull demand phase as summer nears an end and it will be some time before winter demand increases. STOCKS, RIG ACTIVITY AND PRODUCTION EIA noted an 89 Bcf increase in US working gas stocks as against expectations of a 91 Bcf increase. The injection was however greater than the 5-year average injection of 72 Bcf and last year's injection of 78 Bcf. Stocks now stand at 3201 Bcf which is 3.9% lower than stocks same period last year and 1.1% lower than 5-year average for this time of the year. The deficit over 5-year average stocks narrowed last week. While stock deficit is narrowing, EIA expects US natural gas production to remain high. EIA expect marketed production to rise by 4 billion cubic feet per day to a record 65.8 Bcfpd, up from its previous estimate of a 3.68 Bcfpd increase. The dip in price did affect production interest last week. The number of rigs drilling for natural gas was unchanged at 912 rigs last week after rising by 20 rigs a week ago. Lower prices will keep a check on the upside in rig count. SPECULATIVE INTEREST The recent decline in natural gas price has been coupled with an increase in net short position. As per US CFTC report for the week ended Sept 20, non-commercial traders for natural gas futures raised long and short position by 3.2% and 3.9% respectively. Net short position rose by 4.3% to 191690 contracts. High net short position could result in some short covering in case of correction. OUTLOOK Natural gas trades weaker weighed down by mixed weather forecasts, expectations of higher production in US and concerns about health of US economy. No major storm activity has been seen in last few days in last few days reducing concerns about supply outage. Natural gas is also likely to enter a lull demand phase with the end of summer season. While we could see some short covering ahead of expiration of Oct contract, a sustained rise is difficult and selling on rise in the strategy for natural gas for this week. Focus will continue to be on weather forecasts and storm activity in the Atlantic. Apart from it, focus will also be on weekly inventory report and US economic data.

The spread between 1st and 2nd month 88 88 widened from $0.22/bbl to $0.27/bbl last 86 86 week. The gap between 1st month and 12th month contract widened to $3.25/bbl from 84 84 $2.75/bbl. The spread widened as crude oil 82 82 prices fell sharply last week. We expect the 80 80 spread between 1st and 2nd month contract to widen to around $0.45/bbl level. The spread 78 78 between near and far month contract may 1M 2M 3M 4M 5M 6M 7M 8M 9M 10M 11M 12M widen around $4/bbl.

However we do not expect a sustained decline and could see a recovery later in the week. Focus this week will be on US GDP and consumer confidence data, talks about Greek loan tranche and Italian bond sale.

Norfolk State beats South Carolina State 74-71
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP)—Corey Lyons hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 16 seconds remaining and then sank 3 of 4 foul shots to give Norfolk State a 74-71 victory over South Carolina State in the semifinals of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament on Friday night.
Lyons, who finished with 17 points, hit a long-range shot to give the third-seeded Spartans a 71-69 edge in a back-and-forth final minute that saw three lead changes. South Carolina State's Jessie Burton missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer off the back of the rim.
The Spartans (13-17) rallied from 10 down in the second half to advance to their first MEAC championship, where they will meet top-seeded Morgan State in Saturday's final.
Michael Deloach scored 20 points to lead the Spartans, but fouled out with 2:24 remaining.
Josh Jackson scored 18 points to lead the second-seeded Bulldogs (17-14).

Sep 23, 2011I live in England and am somewhat (okay - completely) obsessed with 'Strictly Come Dancing'. I have never watched 'Dancing with the Stars' but was missing Len and Bruno so thought I'd give it a try. It was okay but it lacks heart I think - it isn't as warm or as funny as the UK version and really, the only people I am interested in watching on it are Ricki Lake, Chaz Bono and David Arquette and as much as I loved all three of them in this - I don't think I will be bothering to sit through everyone else to see them again. So, it's a 6 from me for this one - it had the steps, it had the moves but it felt rushed, as if it were racing towards the end. There was no joy to the proceedings so ultimately - I just didn't FEEL it. Bruno and Len - see you when you get back to the UK.… Expand
Sep 28, 2011Season 13 is a so-so of Dancing with the Stars. Some are good like great stars from Hope Solo, the amazing soccer star whose Team USA was defeated against Japan last summer, but it was a great match and David Arquette whose Scream 4 movie was a disappointment, but I hope he has a chance of winning. And some are bad including Ron Artest and I don't know about Chaz Bono winning this competition. The problem is that I think it will take lots of practice if they want to become a champion. So, it can't outmatch Seasons 11 and 12. But this is gonna be a disappointment for DWTS. I'm still gonna watch the X Factor instead.… Expand

Catholic in the Public Square
Following the teachings of the Catholic Church means that you will always be on the right side of history, which is the side of human dignity.
What kind of "men" kidnap young girls as a means of waging a "holy" war?
The video below is difficult to watch, but then the reality of what is happening to Christians in Egypt and elsewhere is far more difficult.
The practice of kidnapping Christian girls, raping them and forcing them to "convert" to Islam appears to be widespread throughout the Middle East. There's not much to say about men who do cowardly things like this to women and young girls except that their "manhood" isn't all that manly.
One of the more disgusting things about this is the silence from feminists. Where is the outrage about this outrage?
On a side note, I repeat Ravi Zacharias' reaction when he heard Dr. Richard Dawkins' incitement of his followers concerning people of faith to "mock them; ridicule them; in public; with contempt." Dr Dawkins and his crowd should book flights to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc, and try this there.
They could also do similar experiments with the Hindus of India. I've got videos of what can happen. Or, they might try ridiculing the faux religion of statism that is practiced in the various atheist paradises.
In truth and in fact, the only societies in the world where they have the freedom to behave like this are those that are informed by Christian values. You know: The terrible, horrible Christian morality that says that all human beings matter, no matter their stage of life or level of health, and that every person has certain inherent rights that come from God.
God help us all if the Christian bashers of the world succeed in wiping that morality out of public discourse and civil society.
The old-fashioned habit that was worn by women religious for several hundred years is a romantic garb.
It is, in its own way, more high fashion than anything coming out of Paris, Italy or New York today. It harkens back to the days when Europe was going through a prolonged cold streak, when buildings where the common folk lived went mostly unheated.The habit began as the fashion of the day and, as time moved onward and the fashions of the days changed, it became an icon of religious identity for the women who wore it and those who saw them.
The habit meant something rather grand, speaking as it did of the mysteries of the sealed-off world of the convent and lives lived according to vows of lifetime commitment to Christ and His Church. The habit, when worn by Ingrid Bergman or Audrey Hepburn, was not only living religious icon, and high fashion; it was high Hollywood, as well.
No wonder the laity longs to see its return and many young girls like to wear it. But given that it is bound to be a rather uncomfortable and hot dress for today's climate and an altogether unwieldy one for much of today's work, no wonder so many other nuns were only too happy to shed it.
Fifty years on in this experiment of habit-less nuns and sisters, the question remains: To inhabit the habit, or not? Should nuns and sisters wear this garb as it always has been, or should they wear a modified version of it, or, should they abandon it altogether?
I am not a nun or a sister. I don't, as we say here in Oklahoma, have a dog in this fight.
What I want from sisters and nuns is the same thing I want from priests: Authenticity of purpose and fidelity to Jesus.
I do think that it serves an important purpose for God's vowed ones to be identifiable in public. Priests wear the collar. But they don't wear it on the basketball court or the swimming pool. They take it off to go out for dinner with their friends and family.
From what I've seen, sisters and nuns try to wear their habits at all times, even when they are engaged in physical enterprises which make it clumsy or even dangerous. I think that is kind of extreme.
Maybe the question should be more along the lines of what should nuns who are active in the world wear for a habit, rather than if they should dress like civilians. As I said, this isn't my fight. The only reason I'm writing about it is because I see a crying need for sisters who will engage in ministries such as human trafficking, prostitution, and other crimes of violence against women.
The truth is, many of the women who escape from these things are unable to relate to any man in a healthy way, and that includes priests. They are deeply wounded, maimed even, on a spiritual and emotional level. They need people of God to work with them, and it would be very helpful if at least some of these people had the authority of religious vows.
It can't be men; not in the early stages. It has to be women. That, to me, means sisters. The reason I bring up the habit is that I can see that a full-bore, head-to-toe habit might be a barrier between a sister and the people they are ministering to. Victims of this kind of terrible violence have enough survival barriers they've created inside themselves without adding more with something like the clothing you wear.
To me — and I'm going to say for the third time that I'm out of my depth here — but to me the question about whether or not to wear a habit should revolve around what purpose it serves. I think women religious should wear something that is uniform to their calling and that distinguishes them from the laity. But I also think that transporting middle ages fashion to the 21st century may not always be the best way to go.
I'm not saying it's wrong to wear this type of habit. It's fine. But for certain kinds of ministry, it would interfere with the sister's ability to minister. On the other hand, dressing like just anybody who walked in off the street would hamper that ministry, as well.
I mentioned the collar and black and white clothes that priests wear because I think they are a good solution. It is a distinctive and uniform look that anyone who sees it recognizes as clerical garb. At the same time, it does not inhibit a priest's ability to walk, run, sit or drive a car. Priests even wear short-sleeved shirts in summer, which seems kinder than wearing a full habit to me.
Priests also take their clericals off when they want to play golf or go jogging. They even take them off for private social occasions.
Why can't sisters and nuns exercise the same common sense in their clothing?
I've read that the orders which use the full habit are growing while those that don't wear a habit are declining. I don't know if that has to do with the habit or with the spiritual practices and mission of these orders or what. I would like to think that young women are joining religious orders for much more important reasons that what habit they wear.
As I said, my interest in this comes from what I see as a crying need to have women religious in certain ministries. The lack of women religious to help in the fight against violence against women is a sadness to me. I know that they could make a profound difference for the good, but there are not women religious to do this work, at least none that I know of.
This is a rambling post that goes off in several directions and doesn't come around to any conclusion. That's because I'm thinking this through as I type.
What do you think about all this?
Also, do you know of an order of sisters who might be interested in the kind of work I'm talking about?
The Church needs nuns and sisters. It has to have them to do the work of evangelization that it has set for itself.
Nuns and brothers who took their perpetual vows in 2012 are mature adults with work experience who come from Catholic families.
That's the basic result of a survey conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University.
The survey shows that today's newly professed religious are well-educated, individuals who have had to overcome discouragement from others in seeking a vocation to religious life.
One thing that interested me is that age appears to be no impediment for many of these people, since the oldest woman was 66 at the time she professed her perpetual vows and two of the men were over 60. I had always heard that no one who was over 40 could enter religious life. It appears I was wrong.
I think this is great news for people who have come to know Jesus later in life and who feel the call to live out their days as vowed members of a religious community. It is particularly important for women.
In a world where the enslavement and trafficking of women and children is growing apace with rape as an instrument of war and the use of child soldiers, the voice of strong Christian women is badly needed.
The Church needs nuns.
There is a female viewpoint that must be present when dealing with crimes against women and children. Also, many times, women are the only ones who can gain the trust and cooperation of severely victimized people.
I pray for women religious to step up to this challenge. They are so needed.
Here are a few facts from the survey that stood out to me. You can read the entire survey here.
The average age of newly professed women is 40, while the average of men is 39. Eighty-give percent of the respondents are cradle Catholics. Seventy-eight percent come from families in which both parents are Catholic. Ninety-six percent of them have at least one brother or sister; 45% have four or more siblings.
This is a highly educated group of people. Twenty-two percent have a graduate level degree with 60% having a bachelor's degree. Eight-two percent of them had worked before entering religious life. Eighty-eight percent had participated in ministry activities before entering and 95% had regularly participated in private prayer activity. Sixty-nine percent had participated in Eucharistic Adoration.
Seventy-four percent of the respondents said that they were discouraged from entering religious life by one of more persons. Women were more likely than men to report that they had encountered discouragement about considering a vocation. Men were more likely than the women to be encouraged by their parish priests to think of religious life as a life's vocation.
The youngest sister or nun was 23 at the time of her profession, while the oldest was 66 years of age. Eight women professed perpetual vows at age 60 or older. The youngest brother was 25 and the oldest is 62. Two of the men are age 60 or older.
Join the discussion on Refuse To Do Nothing or find a link to buy a copy here.
I serve on the board of directors of All Things New. All Things New is dedicated to helping women come out of sex slavery, which ranges from trafficking to prostitution.
That position brings me face to face with the reality of what we are doing to our women and children in the name of "victimless crimes." It has made me aware of how our culture glorifies pimps, excuses johns and victimizes the women and children these predators use and degrade.
Refuse To Do Nothing was written by two women, Shayne Moore and Kimberly McOwen Yim, who had heard similar stories and found that they had to "refuse to do nothing" about the suffering present-day slavery wreaks on both the victims and the victimizers.
I recommend this well-researched book. Instead of just telling us how horrible the problem of present-day slavery is, the book gives simple, do-able ideas for actions that ordinary people can take to help in the fight to end it. There is nothing over the top in any of the ideas these women provide. Each of them is simple, easy to do and, if enough of us do them, effective.
Slavery ended in Great Britain and America largely as a result of Christians, particularly Christian women, who understood the Gospel claim that every human being is beloved of God. They could not abide the contradiction of Christian people owning and using other human beings as chattel.
That understanding is just as true today as it was in the 18th and 19th centuries. Then as now, slavery was big business. Avarice and sloth fueled slavery just as avarice, sloth and lust fuel it today.
The idea that prostituted women and children are somehow less than fully human is the basic philosophical underpinning of sex trafficking and prostitution in our world today. The authors of this book rightly identify that sex slavery would go away if men stopped buying women and children. I think that most men would stop buying women and children if they saw what they were really doing.
It is so easy for any one of us to become someone else's nightmare. All we need to do is subscribe to the world's opinion that there are human beings who are less than human and we may do to them what we please with no moral harm to ourselves.
However, this idea of the disposable human is entirely opposed to the message of the Gospels. It refutes the meaning of Calvary, when Our Lord died for each one of us. There can be no worthless people to anyone who truly believes the Gospels of Christ.
We have an obligation to the God Who made us to treat one another as fully human. When we do less than this, we separate ourselves from Him in a profound and deeply sinful manner.
I recommend Refuse To Do Nothing to everyone who has a heart for the Gospel value of human life.
"Do not take government money."
I have said this to every religious ministry who has given me a venue to speak ever since I came back to public office in 2002.
The only people who give you free money are people who love you, like your parents. The government does not love anybody.
Government money hooks you into government policies, including those that are anathema to you. Religious groups that take government money — and it does not matter which party is in power — will eventually face the requirement that they bend their knee to Caesar and kiss his ring.
I've seen leaders of whole Protestant denominations abandon things they have fought for like pro life in response to political pressure.
I remember a few years back reading that national Catholic Charities had received a huge grant from the federal Health and Human Services Department.
I was appalled.
I knew that this money would lead to demands that the Church compromise its teachings. Based on what I'd seen Protestant groups do, I assumed that the Catholic Church would accede to these demands. I thought the money would buy the Church's moral and prophetic voice, the way I'd seen it buy other religious voices.
I knew that you can not be true to Christ and take government money. You. Can. Not. Do. It.
You can not be an authentic Christian leader and toady to secular power. You. Can. Not. Do. It.
I wrote a post Saturday in which I talked about our personal allegiances; our friendships. I said that sooner or later, you have to chose. You cannot maintain deep intimate friendships with anti-God people and follow Jesus. You have to chose.
This is a parallel post addressed to religious leaders. My point is the same. You cannot base your efforts to bring the Kingdom of God on politics and supporting politicians and political parties. You cannot follow a political party and follow Christ.
You have to chose, and I don't mean sooner or later when the politically powerful rub your nose in the fact that you "belong" to them and demand that you abandon your beliefs for them. I mean from day one. You cannot bend the Gospels to fit the platforms and the behaviors of either political party and preach Christ.
You will either preach politics.
Or you will preach Christ.
But you cannot do both.
Many Catholic priests are just as guilty as their Protestant brethren of bending the Gospels to suit their politics. You find both Republican and Democrat apologists in their ranks.
They will spout Canon Law and attack good people who oppose the death penalty because, somehow, that isn't being "pro life" enough about abortion. Not, mind you, that the people they attack support abortion, but that they aren't focused on it to the exclusion of every other possible sin. Others will try to make us believe that ignoring abortion is the necessary price for concern for the poor.
This is bending the Gospels so they don't discomfit the politics of one political party or the other. It is not preaching Christ. Both types of priest lead people astray from following Christ and teach them to follow politicians, instead.
The Church itself, however, has been amazingly faithful.
It didn't take long for what went around to come back around concerning those federal grants. Before you could say three Hail Marys, the Church was embroiled in lawsuits and broadsides, demanding that it refer the women it was helping for abortions or lose the money.
"While the Catholic bishops were entitled to their beliefs, freedom of religion does not mean imposing religious doctrines on others with the use of taxpayer dollars," said Sarah Wunsch, an ACLU staff attorney.
She was referring to a lawsuit to end a federal grant to Catholic Charities for work aiding victims of human trafficking. A few months after this lawsuit, the federal Department of Health and Human Services revised its guidelines for human trafficking grants to require all recipients to refer for abortion.
The Church could have done as so many others have and simply "wink-winked" its way through this. All it would take was a 3×5 card listing "abortion providers" tucked, ever so casually, into a pile of intake forms. Just touch your lips to the ring. It will be over quickly, and it won't hurt for long.
Besides, "it was the law."
That's what the Church could have done. It's what everyone else has done. It was the wide and easy way.
I'm sure the government coffers would have opened and rained down gold on the Bishop's heads if they had just done this. It would have been money, money, money for whatever they wanted.
But they said no. They took the narrow road, the hard way.
The price is that the federal government is now attacking the Church with broadsides like the HHS Mandate.
There is nothing in the Gospels that says you must first acquire a government grant to help the least of these. Following Christ's teachings means, among other things, that the Church must reach out to people like victims of human trafficking, regardless of what the government wants or does.
The Church has responded to this situation with a new ministry called Amistad.
"We lost a contract, but we've not gone away," said Nathalie Lummert, special-programs director at the USCCB's Office of Migrant and Refugee Services (MRS). "We're taking a decade of experience and now are rolling out a new program that brings communities directly into the fight against human trafficking."
I am so proud of my church for standing for the Gospels in the face of the federal government. I am just as proud of them for their concern for trafficked women and children.
The fact that the Catholic Church refuses to kiss Caesar's ring on the one hand, or abandon the least of these on the other is, in my opinion, the single best hope we have.
A National Catholic Register Article concerning Amistad says in part:
WASHINGTON — A new innovative weapon in the fight against human trafficking and sex slavery is coming this year from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, more than a year after abortion politics led the Obama administration to kill federal funding for the Church's top-rated outreach effort.
"We lost a contract, but we've not gone away," said Nathalie Lummert, special-programs director at the USCCB's Office of Migrant and Refugee Services (MRS). "We're taking a decade of experience and now are rolling out a new program that brings communities directly into the fight against human trafficking."
The new initiative of the U.S. bishops' Anti-Trafficking Program is "The Amistad Movement," an MRS program that puts the USCCB back in the fight against human trafficking in a major way.
Until 2011, the USCCB had directed a highly regarded, $15-million anti-trafficking program that networked victims with services offered by local interfaith groups, including the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities and Jewish Family Services, as well as secular nonprofits.
The USCCB program came to a sudden halt, however, when the Department of Health and Human Services announced that "strong preference" would be given to groups that would refer all victims to family-planning services, including "the full range of legally permissible gynecological and obstetric care." A Washington Post investigation revealed senior HHS political appointees threw out the strong recommendations of an independent review board to renew the USCCB's contract and disqualified the USCCB over its refusal to reimburse groups that referred victims for abortion and birth-control services.

Abby Johnson was part of Planned Parenthood for years, working her way up from volunteer to clinic director. She left Planned Parenthood after watching an ultrasound of a baby during an abortion.
This is a video of a discussion with Abby Johnson at what appears to be a Family Research Council Action roundtable. Ms Johnson discusses the recent Planned Parenthood directive requiring all of their affiliates to perform abortions. She also discusses a Live Action sting which demonstrated Planned Parenthood willingness to cooperate with pimps and traffickers.
The video begins with part of the Live Action sting and then moves to the interview. I think this video contains important information from a woman who has first-hand knowledge.
The following Yahoo News article describes a raid on a sweatshop in India where enslaved children, some as young as 8 years, were forced to make Christmas decorations.
Many of these decorations are being sold on eBay. Read the excerpt of the Yahoo News article below for tips on how to avoid buying them yourself. Watch the video on the link at the end of the excerpt for more information.
Police and child advocates broke padlocks and busted down doors in a surprise raid of a sweatshop in India, only to find a group of children imprisoned who had been forced to make Christmas decorations.
The children were kept in rooms approximately six feet by six feet and had been forced to work up to 19-hour days making the decorations, which advocates believe may have been intended to be sold on the cheap in the United States.
Human rights group Global March for Children led the raid, but also got help from former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who now serves as the United Nations special envoy for global education.
The 14 children who were freed are now in the process of being reunited with their families, who are scattered across India.
Brown released video to ABC News and Yahoo! News revealing what he says were the illegal conditions in which the children in Delhi were discovered.
"There is no parent in the world who would ever want their child to be subjected to conditions that you see in these films of children in dingy basements, without air, without food, without proper care, being forced into child labor for all these hours of the day. I think every parent who sees these films will want this practice brought to an end as quickly as possible."
Child advocates say American consumers would likely never know the origin of goods made with child labor, which Brown says has become a global epidemic that needs to be solved.
In a push to garner more attention on the issue worldwide, Brown's office released a new report today, "Child Labour and Educational Disadvantage – Breaking the Link, Building Opportunity," which says 91 million children in the global workforce are younger than 12 years old.
In the case of the children rescued in Delhi, he says they were both injured and scared.
"Some of them are lacerated because they're working with glass. And we found these children in this basement. They were not being paid," he said. "They had been trafficked themselves. And they were making these Christmas decorations that were being sold in our shops and our web sites in the West."
Priyanke Ribhu of Global March says many children in India are often lured away from their parents by gangmasters who befriend their parents in the remote villages where they live. The gangmasters reportedly promise parents their kids will be taken to a better place where they will be provided a real education and many great
opportunities they could not receive in their villages. Parents are also often told the children will be able to send money back home to help their families.
Far too often, Ribhu says, the children simply end up locked away behind padlocks only to work 17-,18-, even 19-hour days with no one to help them. Ribhu says holiday decorations similar to those discovered in the recent raid can be found on eBay and in other marketplaces online or in stores.
In addition, she says, the items are often sold off into a sophisticated network of suppliers that make it nearly impossible for retailers or consumers to know whether the goods they are purchasing have been made by child labor.
Ribhu warns, however, there are some tell-tale warning signs American consumers can be on the lookout for if they wish to avoid purchasing products made with child labor. First, she says, if the holiday decorations you are purchasing are not labeled with the country they are made in you might want to be concerned. Next, she says if they have an unusually low price and are marked as "hand made" it is another red flag.
Ribhu also warns to be cautious when examining "hand made" items that are also marked as being made in India.
While child labor was largely outlawed in the United States following the industrial revolution more than 100 years ago, Brown told ABC News and Yahoo! News that India has yet to ban child labor itself. He says currently, the country only has a ban on hazardous working conditions, but he wants to pressure the government to immediately take action to protect children there. (To see a video and read more of this Yahoo News story, go here.)
Christianity in India is growing most rapidly among the Dalits, or the so-called Untouchables.
Even though caste discrimination is illegal in India, Dalits are, according to a July CNA article, still viewed as "impure and essentially worthless." Dalit women suffer the worst, since they are discriminated against both as Untouchables and also for being women. Dalit girls are often victims of prostitution and human trafficking.
The radical message of Christianity that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God has the power to transform people who have been treated like human garbage all their lives. According to the article, it is doing that now among the Untouchables of India.
The CNA article describing one Christian mission to Dalit girls says in part:
Bangalore, India, Jul 12, 2012 / 04:07 am (CNA).- A human rights group in India says Christianity has brought slow but lasting change to the country's Dalits or "untouchables," especially for the community's women who are often victims of prostitution and human trafficking.
"The Dalits are told that they are less than animals and we tell them they are not," non-profit director Jeevaline Kumar told CNA, "because they are made in the likeness of God."
Kumar – who heads up Operation Mobilisation's Anti-Human Trafficking Project in Bangalore, Karnataka – explained that the simple message that every person created in God's image has transformed the lives of India's Dalits.
"They are crying out for a change now that they know they can live differently," she said.
At roughly 250 million people, Dalits make up close to one quarter of the country's 1.2 billion member population but, according to the caste system, are seen as inherently impure and worthless.
"It is not normal in our world for how these people are treated," Kumar said.
Although caste discrimination, not the caste system itself, was technically outlawed in 1950 after India won its independence from Great Britain, law enforcement is still lacking.
Dalit women bear the brunt of caste discrimination, Kumar added, since women are looked upon even more unfavorably in Indian culture as they will need to be married off at the expense of their parents.
"The women are the Dalits of the Dalits," Kumar said, explaining that many of them are forced into lives of prostitution, cleaning human waste or being aborted as soon as their gender is learned.
Prostitution, either in a brothel or as a temple "devadasi," is among one of the greatest risks that threaten Dalit girls and women.
Even though the caste system teaches that they are impure, Kumar said that "when it comes to sex, no one thinks of them as untouchable."
Three million people in India are forced into lives of sex-trafficking, 1.2 million of whom are children and 250,000 of whom are enslaved for "ritualized temple prostitution,"According to the Dalit Freedom Network.
"A little help can change the lives of these girls," she said.
Her organization, which is just "one of many that works towards the same goal," is striving to promote the message that "there is value in every human being" by responding to "Jesus' mandate" to "love thy neighbor."
Her work with the Tarika Institute, a school that trains women who have rescued from prostitution in tailoring, spoken English and computer skills, has been especially inspiring, she said.
"I have known God like never before after I got involved in acts of justice," she said. "It really brings meaning and fulfillment in anyone's life." (Read more here.)

Price was good and staff was friendly.
Free shuttle from airport Easy to get to rooms Nice place Comfortable bed
It was all pretty good, we just stayed there overnight but didn't have any problems
Lumpy smelly pillows and linens. Very tired carpet and decor
A comfortable bed
Reception desk greeting excellent.
The chair was badly stained . Should not have been in the room. Gave impression of uncleanliness.
Location to the airport and it was quiet, except the
The directions (especially in the dark) were difficult as I was unfamiliar with the area.
We were able to leave our car and their shuttle bus took us to the airport and picked us up when we returned. It was very convenient.
poor waitress
We always use this hotel before travel! Great staff and nice room! Pet friendly!! Very accommodating !
Could use a couple more towels
The furniture and everything was modern. Excellent value, better than other options in the area;
The location is remote if you want to visit the city, but great as an airport hotel.
My room was clean and quiet. It is an older building so it has a slight odor, but it the furnishings were nice and the bed was comfortable. It was just an overnight stay after arriving late at Portland airport. The shuttle driver was super nice and the desk clerk was pleasant and helpful.
The staff were courteous and friendly. Bed and pulled were very comfortable. Very well appointed
close to rental car drop off
I liked everything! The room was very clean. The staff was more than helpful. The food I ordered (breakfast and dinner) were done to perfection. I have nothing bad to say. It was a wonderful experience.
Can't think of anything.
clean, quiet, staff totally professional and friendly
The location, location, location! The facility is very clean and quiet, and the onsite resturant has delicious food.....you can't go wrong with this option
They need to upgrade their beds...wasn't as comfortable as one would like
Big beds Facilities Friendliness Airport Shuttle
The room was clean. The hotel grounds were kept nice. I was taken care of the moment I walked in. The hotel smelled nice ( NO Smoking :)
Didn't get a room I requested, I had requested a bottom floor room, they told me all that was available was a top floor, guest after me had no reservations came in and asked for a bottom floor, she said they had one left, I asked her why didn't I get that room, she said it had just became available, so within a couple seconds that room became available. .... the room was dirty, a towel on ground, and 1 bed wasn't even made, called the desk and was told they'd have some one come fix it. They never did. The beds were hard, and the blankets were stiff and smelled. Bad experience. Stay away from this location and there rude staff.
Great staff they were very helpful our shuttle driver david was most helpful with information on resturants etc
Could have had small breakfast option
The place as a 15-20 minute drive from everything we did. Quiet area, despite close proximity to airport.
No cable, just a movie service with very few (and dated) options.
The location made it very easy to access the airport Nd it wasn't too car from town either. Comfortable beds. Nice staff.
The airport noise was pretty substantial. The restaurant next door wasn't very good, was overpriced and the service was pretty bad. Your only other choice on site is a bar that has pretty inconvenient hours and only bar food. It's not available to kids.
Clean and comfortable room. A little dated (esp. the outside of the building), but the interior was quite adequate and a great value.
The exterior of the property was a bit shabby.

November 25, 2014
Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Hutchinson, Kan. -- The Reno County Sheriff's Office is warning about a new "Warrant Scam" circulating in the county.
Sheriff Randy Henderson says his office has taken several calls from residents saying they have been contacted by a man claiming to be Captain Kevin Williams with the Reno County Sheriff's Office. The man claims that the person has a warrant for their arrest and that if they don't come up with an amount of money, which they are to bring to him, that they will be arrested.
Sheriff Henderson says this is a scam and that deputies will never contact you to ask you to pay them directly to clear an outstanding warrant or ticket. All payments go directly to the court and not his office.
Henderson says anyone concerned that they may have a warrant is advised to call the Warrant Division, at 620-694-2735.
