Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Another delay: Obamacare on the fly
At this point, why bother passing laws at all? Why not send Congress home for the next two years and let the President run the country at will? To govern with his pen, unencumbered by the will or resistance of the people, is what Obama desperately wants. If it is OK for him to do that with Obamacare, why not with the rest of the federal government? What is the limiting principle that would apply to everything else but Obamacare? If Obama's apologists cannot answer that question, maybe they should rethink their uncritical support.

Highland Park woman guilty in deadly 'huffing' crash
BY BRIAN SLODYSKO Staff Reporter May 29, 2014 3:56PM
Carly Rousso (right) walks out of the Administrative Offices of the 19th Judicial Circuit Division of Probation on Water Street after she was convicted Thursday afternoon. | Michael Schmidt/Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: July 1, 2014 6:36AM
A Highland Park teen who confessed to being high on inhalants when she ran over a family of four with her father's Lexus, killing a young girl, was found guilty of aggravated DUI by a Lake County judge on Thursday.
It took Judge James Booras less than 30 minutes to find 19-year-old Carly Rousso guilty on all four counts of the charge.
"To most people [air duster] is a cleaning agent. To the defendant it's a drug," said Booras before finding Rousso guilty of running over 5-year-old Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento, her mother, and two brothers.
Both families declined to comment after Thursday's verdict. But speaking on behalf of Jaclyn's family, Lake County State's Attorney Michael Nerheim told reporters that they are still grieving.
"They were hoping for justice and they feel like they got justice today," Nerheim said.
Rousso, who continues to be free on $500,000 bail posted by her parents, pleaded guilty to reckless homicide before her trial started this week.
She faces a maximum of 14 years in prison at a sentencing hearing in July.
On the day of the Sept. 3, 2012 crash, Rousso told her mom that she was going to get a bite to eat. Instead, she drove her father's car to a Walgreens and bought two cans of computer air duster, she told police during a videotaped confession.
"Huffing" the contents of a can while cruising through Highland Park she told police, she "must have passed out."
Witness testimony, backed up by surveillance video, showed that Rousso's car crossed oncoming lanes of traffic and barreled over a curb before striking the family as they walked on a sidewalk.
A video shows the Lexus reversing several car lengths before running over the injured girl a second time.
Then the car lurched forward again, running over the girl a third time, according to Dana Poncher and her son, Adam, who both testified Tuesday at the Waukegan courthouse.
Adam Poncher testified that Rousso was not fully conscious as he pounded on the window to try to stop her from driving over the girl again.
When Rousso finally appeared to regain consciousness, she asked in a slurry drawl: "What happened?" Adam Poncher said.
At one point, when asked by police if she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Rousso replied: "Not any more," officials said.
During closing arguments. her attorney, Douglas Zeit, did not deny she was responsible for a "horrific" crash.
"She struck and killed an innocent 5-year-old girl," Zeit said. "This crime was reckless."
But Zeit, who didn't call any witnesses, repeatedly argued state law is vague when it comes to inhalants, including a chemical in the air duster.

University of Missouri officials still do not know when University Village was inspected
Updated On: Feb 24 2014 06:28:11 PM CST
The University of Missouri hired a local engineering company to inspect more than 250 buildings owned and operated by the university.
These inspections come after a balcony collapsed at University Village apartments.
Columbia Fire Lieutenant Bruce Britt died Saturday morning at the collapse trying to evacuate students.
ABC 17 News has been in touch with University officials all day Monday asking for inspection records.
As of Monday night officials tell ABC 17 News they are in the process of gathering those records and still do not have answers.
"They've told us that they have had inspections here, but they are still trying to figure out when that was last," said Bon Wadholm, a University Village resident.
University leaders told ABC 17 News that Campus facilities is the department that handles those records and that structure inspections happen when a problem arises.
The University complete audits on all building every 5-8 years, but officials still would not confirm if that was the case with University Village.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others accused of masterminding the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon should be excluded from pre-trial hearings when classified information is disclosed, a prosecutor told the judge in the case in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
On the third day of hearings this week before the military tribunal, a government lawyer yesterday urged the judge, U.S. Army Colonel James Pohl, to bar the five men from pre-trial proceedings whenever classified material is discussed. That spurred a heated response from defense lawyers.
"Mr. Mohammed has the right to be present when we're talking about matters that deal with his torture," his lawyer, David Nevin, told Pohl.
The five defendants are accused of organizing the 2001 hijacking of passenger airplanes that killed almost 3,000 people when they were crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, the Pentagon in Virginia, and in Pennsylvania.
The five, who have been held by the U.S. for about a decade, may face the death penalty if convicted. They are charged with conspiring to finance, train and direct the 19 hijackers who seized the four planes, as well as terrorism, hijacking aircraft, conspiracy, murder in violation of the laws of war and attacking civilians.
A military trial is at least a year away.
Defendants Appear
Unlike on June 18, Mohammed and his four co-defendants appeared in court yesterday. They sat quietly and didn't interrupt the proceedings. Resting his head on his hand, Mohammed occasionally leafed through documents, whispered to his lawyer or translator and glanced around the courtroom.
In asking to exclude the accused plotters from hearings where confidential issues are discussed, Joanna Baltes, a prosecutor, said the government is "not suggesting" that they be excluded from the trial whenever such evidence is presented. Rather, she said, the government wants "protections" for classified information at the pre-trial stage.
There are "times when exclusion of the accused is appropriate to protect classified information," she said.
Defense lawyers objected. James Connell, the lawyer for Ammar al Baluchi, who is Mohammed's nephew, said his client had "a right to presence" at "all proceedings."
RDI Program
Lawyer Cheryl Bormann, whose client, Walid bin Attash, is charged with helping to train the Sept. 11 attackers, said the classified material overwhelmingly concerns "the RDI program," shorthand for "rendition, detention and interrogation." The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has said Mohammed was subjected to the interrogation technique known as waterboarding, which defense lawyers describe as torture.
"You lose legitimacy when the accused, whose life is on the line, is excluded," Bormann told the judge, who didn't rule. "He has a right to be present."
The argument came after a technical glitch interrupted the questioning of a U.S. Navy admiral, who was testifying through a remote videoconferencing link. Defense lawyers were asking Rear Admiral David Woods, who was commander of the Guantanamo Bay prison until June 2012, about orders he issued that allegedly permitted the seizure of attorney-client communications.
The hearings, which began last year, have been marred by more severe technical issues. Last summer, the judge canceled a day of legal argument because an Internet failure interfered with lawyers' preparations for legal arguments. An approaching hurricane led to cancellation of other hearing days.
Video Link
In April, five days of hearings were postponed after defense lawyers said their internal documents went missing on government computers.
The video link was restored after lunch. Woods said his duty was to ensure that the camp was safe and secure and that classified information remained protected. Defense lawyers asked whether he had barred them from showing their clients certain legal documents, books and writings on "historical jihad perspectives" because he deemed them to be "contraband."
A broadcast of the testimony was viewed by reporters at Fort Meade, Maryland, near Washington.
The case is U.S. v. Mohammed, Military Commissions Trial (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba).

Freetail Brewing Co.Freetail Brewing Co. - Home
I have been there a couple of times. The Beer is real good and the layout is real cool. Nice place, and everyone should check it out.
Great news. I'm there this weekend!
Nice, I'll have to check it out next time I'm done that way.
Me and a buddy checked this place out a few weeks ago. Honestly I thought the beers needed some work. We got a sampling of all their beers. Maybe my palate was just off that day, or it was their first batch or something. Their "lightest" beer was rather bland but they had a good smoked beer from what I remember.
I'm very excited to have a new brewery in town and not too far from me. They'll be making some money off me, I'm a big believer in supporting the local breweries.
They have a HUGE nacho plate half-off during their happy hour and that's a great deal. Nachos and beer, awesome.
"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."

There are many basketball skills that can lead to the success of any player. If they do not master these particular skills, having any real chance of success will be slim to none.The first skills a player needs to learn actually does not involve using the basketball at all. It's all about their footwork! Getting involved with basketball skills training may take ones game to the next level.To be successful, a player's footwork is paramount. This includes forward and backward movements, and also going side to side. Being able to move quickly, taking precise steps, is essential for both offensive and defensive plays. There are many courses on how to dribble a basketball better that one can access online. When a player is playing on the defense, most of the time they are trying to stay in front of the player coming out then. These movements will be primarily moving side to side and backwards.On the offense, footwork means that you will be going forward, trying to weave through the defense in order to take your shots. The next skill that a basketball player must learn after footwork is learning how to dribble the ball. A player's confidence with their movements needs to include dribbling a basketball effectively. One must know the fundamentals of basketball before learning any other aspect of the game. They must be able to go up and down the court while dribbling, also doing crossovers, and should be able to do all of these motions without looking at the ball.Substantial dribbling skills, and having great footwork, will only take the team so far because points still need to be scored. They need to learn how to do a proper layout, one of the first shots that every basketball player has to become proficient at. If they are capable of taking highly effective shots, with a high percentage going in, this will help the team win. The most difficult part of the layout is understanding where the ball needs to strike the backboard, and how much force should be used to make the ball go in the hoop.There are many skills that should also be learned by every basketball player, but when starting out, the aforementioned skills will get them going in the right direction.

Save Money on Custom Made Western Furniture
In order to save money on custom made western furniture you have to do some research but don't worry this research is really simple to perform. The first step is collecting the names of all the firms that do "custom" work. Once the names of these individuals have been compiled you must assess their individual skills by visiting their website or Facebook page and reviewing the work they have done in the past.

By investing in top quality, well made quality western furniture you won't have to buy replacement furniture unless you choose to. Try to deal with a furniture maker that offers their clients some surety in the form of a warranty that if there are any defects in the western furniture the manufacturer will repair, replace or refund the customer. These type of assurances are vital when you are spending such a large sum of cash.
The Joy of Diving as a Young Boy
When I was younger I wanted to grow up to be a fireman. Then a little bit later I decided that I wanted to be a professional athlete. When I grew out of the firefighter phase and then realized I could not be a professional athlete, I still wanted have a career in something exciting. What started out as a hobby, diving, soon became an obsession that turned into a profession – diving. I have been on many exotic diving expeditions and I have always had top notch equipment including a great divers knife. A divers knife can be the difference between living and dying in the open waters.
You can find a great divers knife at aquatic stores around the country but a lot of times, these stores will charge quite a bit more than online retailers and these stores are few and far between, especially in landlocked cities. Another detriment to shopping at aquatic stores is you only have their selection to choose from which cannot compete with the online catalog of a divers knife. People have been choosing to shop online for going on twenty years now and it offers a convenience that you simply do not have with going to actual retail stores. Because of the competition, you will almost surely find better deals online at places like amazon.com or knifereviewsite.com
To read more about diving knives and to find the one that is the best match for you, head over to The Knife Review Site.

Record What You Already Know Begin With Yourself and Work Backwards in time. 2. Read a How-to Book 3. Begin Your Research At Home 4. Look for compiled information 5. Choose one ancestor/line to research 6. Look for Original Records – Census Records – Vital Records (birth, marriage, death) – Social Security Death Index 2 Other U.S. Records • Probate (Wills) • Land • Church • Cemetery and Burial • Newspapers • Federal and Local Tax • Military • City Directories • Immigration/Naturalization For Each Record Type We'll Discuss: • What they contain • Where to find them 3 Where to Find Public Records • Check books. Search the LCLS library catalog. Search other libraries through WorldCat. Check the LDS Family History Library at www.familysearch.org for records in books or microform. • Check the Internet & computer databases such as Ancestry Library Edition (ALE) and Heritage Quest (HQ). • But many records are still held at the local level and you will either have to write to a state, county or township records office to get them (and pay $) or visit in person. 4 Ancestry Library Edition: Much more than just census images. 5 Probate Court Records Probate—legal instruments dealing with the dispersal of the estate of someone who died. • Probate process involves: –Collecting a decedent's assets –Liquidating liabilities –Paying necessary taxes –Distributing property to heirs 6 More About Probate Court • Probate court has general power over: – probate of wills, – administration of estates, and – in some states, is empowered to appoint guardians or approve adoption of minors. • In certain states Probate Court is or was called Surrogate or Orphan's Court • Final document is issued and recorded by the probate court and, if land is involved, with the local land records office. 7 Two Classes of Probate Records: • Testate- –Person died leaving a valid will (Testator) • Intestate- –Person died leaving no will (Intestate) 8 Why Use Probate Records? • Exist in times and places earlier than other records. • Identify family relationships and verify death dates. • Name spouse or past-spouses. • Proof of heirs. 9 Probate Indexes • Separate indexes may be available for: –Guardianships –Wills or testaments • Lists of material goods, including land, houses, farm animals, heirlooms. • Estate Proceedings: –Bills of sale –Inventory and appraisal 10 Where to Find Probate Court Records • Most wills are registered and filed in the counties where they were probated. Look 30 to 90 days after the death of the property owner. • Some are available on the Internet – or try www.ancestrylibrary.com. • Don't be satisfied with a will abstract and don't stop looking when you find the will – there may be more. 11 Land Records • Land records exist from the very beginning of the first permanent settlements in America. • In early America the great majority of free adult males were land owners. 12 Why Use Land Records? • Place individuals in a particular place at a specific time. • Help determine migration information such as –dates of arrival and dates of departure • Lengths of residence • Often list the spouse. • Often state relationships. 13 Land Records – Patent vs. Deed • The term patent is the official title to the property. • Patent indicates the first sale of a piece of property. –Once a patent is issued, the property becomes part of the "private" or individual sector of land ownership and is subsequently sold by a deed. 14 State Land States vs. Federal Land States • State-Land States: – Land controlled initially by the individual state. This includes the 13 original colonies, some of the southern states and Hawaii. • Federal Land States: – Lands initially controlled and dispersed by the United States government (public domain). These states are in the south, west and mid-west. These are the homesteading states. 15 The State-Land States • Connecticut • New York • Delaware • North Carolina • Georgia • Pennsylvania • Hawaii • Rhode Island • Kentucky • South Carolina • Maine • Tennessee • Maryland • Texas • Massachusetts • Vermont • New Hampshire • Virginia • New Jersey • West Virginia 16 State-Land States • Following the Revolutionary War each state dispersed property within its own boundaries • States granted land: 1.

USA TODAY 10Best has launched a summer-centric Readers' Choice contest in which everyone has a vested interest: Best National Park. Our great country has such wide geographic diversity that its national parks are a reflection of that good fortune. From east to west and north to south, some of America's most prized land is also its most diverse. Soaring mountain tops, lush prairies, beautiful deserts and mysterious swamps are but a few of the habitats included in America's national park system.
You have until Monday, July 14 at noon to vote for your favorite national park. Click here to vote, or visit 10best.com/awards/travel.
For our 20 nominees, we went straight to the experts: authors and explorers David and Kay Scott, who have been writing about the USA's national parks since the 1970s. Many readers will be surprised to learn that one extremely popular nominee - the Blue Ridge Parkway - falls under the auspices of the National Park Service (www.nps.gov) - and thus qualified for the contest.
"The National Park Service administers over 400 'units' and each is special in its own way," says David Scott. "Some units interpret an important aspect of our country's history while others offer spectacular scenery. The spectacular national parks in America's West are special for those of us who live in the flatlands, " he explains. The Scotts are based in south Georgia when not on the road.
"Despite traveling America's national parks for 45 years," says Scott, "we never tire of another visit, even to those we have previously visited. We owe a special thanks to those who had the foresight and made the effort to preserve America's natural and historical treasures."
The Scott's full list of nominees is as follows:
Acadia National Park
Big Bend National Park
Blue Ridge Parkway
Bryce Canyon National Park
Crater Lake National Park
Death Valley National Park
Everglades National Park
Glacier Bay National Park
Glacier National Park
Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Teton National Park
Lassen Volcanic National Park
North Cascades National Park
Olympic National Park
Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks
Shenandoah National Park
Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Yellowstone National Park
Yosemite National Park
Zion National Park
Full descriptions of each park can be found at the voting pages on 10Best.

NEW PHOTOGRAPHS: Out on Primrose
Here go some pictures of Rachel, Alex, and Amelie yesterday on Primrose Hill with an accompanying article from the Daily Mail. Amelie is getting so big!
Candid's / September 28, 2011 / Carrying Amelie in Primrose Hill with Alex
It has been unseasonably warm in London over the past couple of days. So it's no wonder Rachel Stevens was keen to take her gorgeous baby daughter Amelie out and about in the capital yesterday. The 33-year-old star cuddled little Amelie, who looked adorable in a white summer dress, as she strolled along on a rare family day out with husband Alex Bourne. And it seems 10-month-old Amelie has already found her calling, as she was spotted taking to the wheel as father Alex sat with her in his car. Leaning across her dad, Amelie was photographed gripping tightly on to the steering wheel as Alex looked on amused. Rachel certainly appeared to be enjoying her family day out as the group went for some food in Primrose Hill.
Wearing a red T-shirt and tight pair of jeans, the former S Club 7 singer showed off her post-baby figure in her outfit. Rachel shed her pregnancy pounds fairly quickly after welcoming little Amelie into the world, and said in a recent interview it was with the help of a specialist trainer that she snapped back into shape. She said: 'I started training again quite quickly because I was exercising with a great woman who was very sensitive to pregnancy. 'She has trained a lot of pregnant women so she was very gentle. We did yoga and a lot of suspension and toning stuff, and a lot of walking.' Rachel, who revealed she 'would love to have more' children, also said she can't now imagine her life before Amelie. Talking about motherhood, Rachel explained: 'It is literally like Christmas every morning! I remember my brother saying the same thing. 'He has got two little girls, and I remember him saying that before I had Amelie. 'It really is, when you see them for the first time in the morning, she wakes up and I hear her chatting away and she is singing away and its lovely!' Rachel married husband Alex in August 2009, and recently said their wedding ceremony at London's Claridge's Hotel was 'the best weekend' of her life.
NEW PHOTOGRAPHS: Jewish News
There's a small excerpt from Jewish News that features the cover of "Pulse" which is available in a few weeks, Rachel also briefly speaks of the Zumbathon late next month!

And The Champagne Makes It Taste So Much Better. . .
Rachel recently did an interview with The Mirror
Does your Saturday start with a lie-in or do you make the most of your free time?
I like to have a lie-in but since I had Amelie 10 months ago I can't sleep past 8.30am. I'm so programmed to getting up early that I like to make the most of the day. I either go to The Wolseley, in Central London, for brunch with my husband Alex and Amelie or we take her to the park.
So you're not a Saturday slob then?
No. On a Saturday, Alex will often take Amelie so I can get my nails done or go to the gym. I haven't been recently because my trainer is away but I work out when I can.
What's for breakfast? I'm a cereal girl. I have always loved my cereal ever since I was a kid. I would love a bowl of Frosties, but I start the day with something healthier like a bowl of yoghurt or berries. I do like a fry-up, too, but I can never handle anything too greasy.
Have you ever gone a weekend without having a shower?
I don't think so. Maybe when I was young and I was out all weekend. I've never been to a festival either so I've never really had an excuse not to.
Tell us about a weekend you really enjoyed recently?
Alex took me to Lyndhurst in the New Forest at the beginning of August to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. We stayed in a beautiful manor hotel called Lime Wood and lazed by the pool and ate the most wonderful food. It was gorgeous.
Beer or bolly?
I never used to like beer but now a nice cold beer on a hot day hits the spot. I love champagne, but I drink it only on special occasions.
How do you know when it's time to stop?
When it's 9pm! I love my sleep and with a baby I know I have to get up early. I'm not a party animal any more.
When did you last have a wild night out?
I haven't really had a wild night out since having Amelie. I can't even make one up.
Who makes your favourite roast?
Alex's mum makes a great chicken roast. I always get excited when I go for dinner. I can never resist her dessert either – she makes the most amazing cheesecake.
What was the best weekend of your life?
My wedding day at Claridge's in London. It felt right for us to have it at an old English hotel in the centre of town.
Who do you have to phone or text every weekend?
I don't have time to make lots of phone calls as I'm so busy with Amelie. I don't even speak to the guys from S Club. The last time I saw them was in March when Jon invited us to the press night of Jersey Boys.
Do you ever go dancing at the weekend?
My personal trainer is an ex-dancer so we do a lot of ballet and jazz. I'm not a trained dancer and even when I was in Strictly I was rubbish at doing spins so I've asked her how to perfect them.
How much do you dread getting up on a Monday morning?
I don't dread it. I only have to walk into Amelie's room and it lifts my spirits. I've also got lots of things to look forward to as I'm currently looking to get back in the studio to record a new album.
NEW PHOTOGRAPHS: Walking in Primrose

Apple's Newest Retail Masterpiece
Apple's newest NYC retail store opens this Saturday on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
It's hard to get excited about most new stores, but this one -- from the outside, at least -- looks gorgeous.
The company held a preview event for press this morning. Fox Business' Shibani Joshi did a nice job covering the event on Twitter.
Interesting nuggets from Joshi and Gizmodo's Matt Buchanan:
- Apple retail boss Ron Johnson says that its super-fancy flagship stores -- think Fifth Ave. location in NYC -- generate the most profit. (This is not surprising.)
- He also says Apple has learned that its stores are too small, and that all new stores will be slightly bigger.
- "Sales per store—$26 million, which is just below what Macy's, Target and Best Buy make per store. But, if you look at the real estate, it's a slightly different picture. Apple Stores do sales of $4,300 per square foot which is 5x the $872 per square foot Best Buy does."
- "Wow—over 100,000 applicants on file for jobs at the Apple Store worldwide. 10,000 people submitted applications for the new Upper West Side store. Just over 200 got a job."
Last quarter, Apple's retail stores generated $1.87 billion of revenue, or almost 20% of the company's total sales. Average sales per store dropped 7% year-over-year to $7.1 million. But margins were 22%, up from 17.5% the year-ago quarter.
