Any feel for when Catholics will find a woman celebrating Sunday Mass? SPONG: There's no doubt it's going to come within 25 years, or they'll be the laughingstock of the Christian West. My sense is they can't afford not to. I think the church would blow up. I don't want the Roman church to blow up. It's too powerful and part of Christianity. But they can't treat women the way they do. You could get away with that in the 19th century, but already it's alienated a lot of women, and as the world goes along, it would be like trying to defend slavery in the 20th century. The consciousness of the world has changed, and to the degree that the Roman church is a Western church serving Europe and the United States, it can't continue that way. They have nuns serving congregations. They have women doing everything except celebrating the Eucharist. ----------------------------------------------------------- H e a r t s & M i n d s ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The British government is beginning seriously to look at creating partnerships with religious organizations to provide social welfare services. Jim Wallis is in London this week, speaking to a conference on this topic and meeting with church and government leaders. He will have a report in next week's column.--The Editors ------------------------------------------------------------- F u n n y B u s i n e s s +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Humour from Down Under A Texan farmer goes to Australia on vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer and gets to talking. The Aussie shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says, "Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice that size!" They walk around the ranch a little, and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately replies, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows." The conversation has died down when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks the Aussie, "What are those?" The Aussie replies with an incredulous look, "Don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas?" **************SOJOFEST 2001****************** SOJOURNERS IS HAVING A PARTY! And you're invited! It doesn't seem possible, but this year marks the 30th anniversary of Sojourners magazine. Thirty years of Faith, Politics, and Culture. Thirty years of joy, triumph, laughter, tears, and friendship.

Virtually every dollar went for drugs and alcohol. She says, "I was about 15 when I started selling myself." Now a minister, Savage is pioneering a church among box-dwelling homeless people in Los Angeles. Five years ago, a drug dealer deposited Savage at a Teen Challenge center. "He wanted me to get off drugs, so I could get back on the streets and make more money," she said. "What he didn't know was that I would get saved." God healed her of her addictions and used a drama troupe to bring her back to Christ. Soon, Savage started telling L.A.'s homeless about Jesus. She and fellow Teen Challenge residents "knocked" on cardboard boxes where the homeless people stay. That was three years ago. Now the homeless know her well, because she lives among them. She will be ordained after she completes classes through Global University. In the meantime, she juggles college classes with her church's services, children's ministry, outreach events, neighborhood canvassing, and speaking engagements. She feeds the homeless and provides basic necessities such as toothbrushes and combs, while building relationships with them.

It seems obvious from Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount that, if anything, he intended the church of his followers to be a peace church. Therefore, it is imperative in this violent world for the disciples of this nonviolent Jesus to start recognizing that reality and acting on it, as the historic peace churches have done for centuries. ECAPC is starting a global network of creative nonviolence, in the manner of Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and innumerable other religious peacemakers through history. The first ECAPC gathering will be in Duluth, Minnesota, at The College of St. Scholastica, April 27-28, 2001. For more details check out the national website at: http://www.ecapc.org or call John K. Stoner at (717) 859-1958 or Gary G. Kohls at (218) 728-9756. ----------------------------------------------------------- P o l i t i c a l l y C o n n e c t +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Did IBM Help Nazis in WWII? by Michelle Delio On the heels of a new book detailing IBM's cooperation with the Third Reich, five Holocaust victims file suit against Big Blue. The suit claims that IBM has not allowed historians access to its archival records, which would prove that the company took an active role in helping the Nazis. The legal action by the Washington, D.C. law firm of Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll coincides with the publication on Monday of a book titled "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation," by Edwin Black. Black, a son of Holocaust survivors, claims that IBM created a custom system for its Hollerith tabulators that allowed Hitler to computerize his war machine. "IBM technology put the blitz into the blitzkrieg," claims Black, who argues that IBM technology allowed Hitler's troops to achieve "scale, velocity, [and] efficiency" that would have been impossible without computerization. Black also claims that Thomas J. Watson, IBM's chairman from 1915 to 1956, and other top level IBM executives in New York knowingly allowed the Nazis to use IBM technology in order to protect the company's profits. Watson was awarded the Merit Cross of the German Eagle with Star by Hitler.

Computing will disappear as we know it. Data will flow directly to our retinas from implanted eye screens, making laptops, cell phones, and palm devices wholly redundant. We will have wireless access to high bandwidth all the time. Web sites will morph into real-time environments, allowing us to share experiences with invited others. Jump ahead another two decades and we'll flood our brains with nanobots that will serve as even more sophisticated communicators and memory banks. Nonbiological thinking will be billions of times more powerful than biological thinking. Children today receive inoculation shots before entering kindergarten; by 2035 they may be required to receive an infusion of intelligent nanobots giving them all the information they will need to know, making school books a vestige of the past. Though my prognoses may be off, the integration of human and machine intelligence will be intimate. Count on it.... How far will the convergence of human and machine have to evolve before an individual loses his or her humanity? It is arguable that a human could become so mechanized as to lose his or her essential identity (itself a concept the geneticists will place under great scrutiny). There are no trite solutions to the challenges we will face in the years ahead. Yet people who walk spiritual paths do have a clear vision of human potential: love, joy, peace, compassion, goodness. To live that way - that's what it means to have real "soul." Nanobots and genetic enhancements surely will boost performance, but our destiny still lies with choices of the heart.

I like the Jim Wallis column, building a movement, culture watch, tech ethix (great addition! technology & religion...what an interesting topic), webscene. --------------- Patricia Matthews of Morgantown, West Virginia, wrote: I cannot say anything you've not heard before, but here it is again: thanks for doing this absolutely essential work. (I just sent out an e-mail to my friends today extolling a few of your many virtues!) ---------------- Tanja Winter of La Jolla, California, wrote: I, too, am disappointed that Jim Wallis is going along with FBO. It is a dangerous and devious way of defunding the public sector, favoring religion over no religion, and undermining democracy, which is based on open, all-inclusive secular institutions, SEPARATE from religious organization. I'm afraid that Jim is being seduced by the duplicitous Bush agenda. ------------------- Spencer Bradford of Burlington, North Carolina, wrote: For the last decade, I've directed nonprofit community ministries, both Christian and interfaith, that have received government grants for providing services without mandating religious activities for clients. Faith programs have been available to them on a voluntary basis, and have even been promoted, but not on Caesar's dime.... I'm all for streamlining and simplifying bureacratic procedures, but that is different from compromising the line between the liberty of faith and Caesar's mastery. Don't anyone try to sell that both go together. With the budget numbers the administration is floating now, can we all admit that since its inception with welfare reform, strategies for funneling more dollars to FBOs have consistently functioned as a beard for cutting social service funding? I know that hasn't been the intent for all of its supporters, but hasn't that been the cynical function of it for people like Bush, Ashcroft, and Olasky...? I'll take charitable choice and the FBO office more seriously when the Bush administration and the DLC jointly support a net INCREASE in funding for HUD and DHHS programs, and a DECREASE in loopholes for corporate taxes and CEO bonuses. -------------- Joe Bradford from Danville, Virginia, wrote: Bush's first 10 "accomplishments," plus one: 1. Roll back legislation protecting workers from repetitive injuries. 2. Try to get a tax cut pushed through. 3. Re-open federal timber lands for clear cutting. 4. Turn "our" back on the peace process in the Middle East. 5. Do likewise with Korea. 6. Push the damaging of the eco-system in Alaska for more oil rather than promoting alternative means of energy. 7. Lower the EPA guidelines for "acceptable" pollution in California. 8. Lower the EPA guidelines for "acceptable" levels of arsenic in ground water. 9. Agree to sign a weak campaign finance reform measure to look like something was accomplished. 10. Work on privatizing (eliminating?) social security. 11. Spit on Russia and restart the Cold War. Unfortunately the list will continue to grow. -------- Boomerang is an open forum for all kinds of views. Want to make your voice heard?

BONO: Yes. In fact, if you look at the cover of The New York Times when debt cancellation went through, the headline was - and for me it was an amusing triumvirate - "The Pope, U2 and George W. Prevail." We worked very hard to get both Republican and Democratic authorship on that package, and I'm confident the Republican leadership will follow through. In the second debate, [Bush] mentioned debt cancellation as one of the ideas he was excited by. Q: Because debt relief became a religious issue, you were able to meet with many politicians with whom you probably agree on nothing else. What was that like? BONO: I really have had to swallow my own prejudice at times. Because I was suspicious of the traditional Christian church, I tended to tar them all with the same brush. That was a mistake, because there are righteous people working in a whole rainbow of belief systems - from Hasidic Jews to right-wing Bible Belters to charismatic Catholics. We had a meeting in the White House, and President Clinton invited Pat Robertson, who I think had referred to him as "a devil" and hadn't visited the White House in eight years. I saw him in the room with Andrew Young, who said, his voice trembling, that this is the most important thing that's come up for him since the civil rights marches in the '60s. Clinton said, "This is a very odd bunch of people. But if you guys could agree to meet a few more times, you could really change the world."[] To read the entire Beliefnet interview with Bono, visit: http://www.beliefnet.com/frameset.asp?pageLoc=/story/67/story_6758_1.html&bo Read a review of U2's new album, "All That You Can't Leave Behind," by Kimberly Burge, in the March/April issue of Sojourners magazine: http://www.sojo.net/magazine/index.cfm/action/sojourners/issue/soj0103/article/010332b.html ---------------------------------------------------------- H e a r i n g t h e C a l l ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call to Renewal Summit inspires new partnerships and action "Excellent organization on all levels." "Lots of policy information, yet input from people in the trenches." "The chance to network and build spiritual power around the issue of ending poverty." These were a few comments from participants in Call to Renewal's Summit, "Facing the Divide: Mobilizing Networks to Overcome Poverty," held March 18-21 in Washington, D.C. More than 500 people of faith gathered to mobilize their networks, magnify their prophetic voice, and develop more effective strategies to overcome poverty. Participants heard from Dr. John DiIulio, head of the White Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, Marian Wright Edelman of the Children's Defense Fund, Rev. Floyd Flake of Allen A.M.E., and Convener Jim Wallis. They also met in networking sessions around the seven planks of CTR's "Campaign to Overcome Poverty": Living Family Income; Dismantling Racism; Schools That Work; Affordable, Quality Healthcare; Safe Neighborhoods; Family-friendly Policies/Programs; and Safe, Affordable Housing.

This is the seventh installment of her diary highlights in SojoMail. Look for more on Colombia in upcoming issues of Sojourners. DAY SEVEN: THE MOST DANGEROUS DAY Off to Puerto Caicedo today. Such a beautiful colonial setting with the church buildings wrapped around a tranquil courtyard with a massive tree in the center. Father Ernesto Estrada greets us and introduces us to their "saint," Father Alcides Jimenez, who was assassinated in 1998, probably by the guerrillas. He was 49 years old. He was killed while saying mass. "Seventeen bullets... one for each year he served in Puerto Caicedo," says Father Ernesto. The priest walks us through Father Jimenez's passion. "Here are his vestments. You can see the bullet holes. Here is the Bible he raised up as his shield with a bullet hole in the corner. Here is the chalice with the bullet hole through the bottom. He was shot here in the church. Then he stumbled out here to the base of this tree. Here is where he died." The priest tells us that the paramilitaries in the area have scared off a larger public meeting with us, so we will meet in an upper room in the church with a few of the main community leaders: the human rights representative, the union leader representing small cattle ranchers working on alternative crops, and the director of a licit crop substitution program. They tell us that traditionally Puerto Caicedo was a self-sustaining agricultural region. Then 22 years ago, coca showed up and Puerto Caicedo was no longer self- sustaining. The farmers said they could just grow coca and get all the money they needed. Now, with the armed repression the farmers are re-thinking that strategy. But because of the open trade border with Ecuador their licit crops can't compete and there is no market available for them to which to distribute their crops. What they want is support for the small subsistence projects on the microeconomic scale they have already started, rather than large development projects that they can't sustain on their own. After leaving the church, we travel to the model organic farm project, started 10 years ago by Father Jimenez. They grow plantains, sugarcane, pineapple, yucca, and have 25 hectares in pastureland for 20 head of cattle, with the rest in natural rainforest reserve. They raise tilapia and chacahamba in their fish ponds. There is no coca. There has never been any coca. This farm is living testimony that with the right conditions and support a non- coca economy can be reestablished in this area. At lunch the men told us they had spent the morning in teams scouring the farm and surrounding area to make sure the roads were safe for us. There is a large piece of white cloth hanging on a stick on top of the main house to signify peace and that this is a neutral farm.

A new Web site created by a Roman Catholic priest that purports to rate "authentically Catholic" colleges has fired the first shot in what promises to be a heated battle between liberal and conservative Catholics. The Web site ranks colleges by the percentage of their theologians whose teachings have been approved by a bishop. Theologians are required to obtain this approval, known as a mandatum, by June 2002; the requirement is the most controversial aspect of Ex corde Ecclesiae, a 1990 papal document outlining the church's relationship to Catholic colleges.

Board Priorities
The mayor and board of directors adopted a comprehensive strategic plan in May 2011. To the left are the priorities adopted for implementation. To the right are accomplishments from the most recent quarter – between April and June, 2013.
Riverfront Development
The first of two construction contracts for water and sewer mains along Riverfront Dr. was completed in the amount just under $437,000. The second contract is currently underway, and construction is expected to be completed in October, 2013. Total cost for both phases will be just under $1.5 million.
A draft agreement has been prepared for relocation of the Union Pacific/Fort Smith Railroad maintenance yard near the riverfront. The agreement is being reviewed by the Pioneer Railcorp and the Union Pacific Railroad. The 2013 budget includes some of the funding needed for the relocation.
Preparation of a marketing package to promote downtown and riverfront development is nearing completion.
Work on the final phase of structures and grading between Highways 22 and 71 is progressing and should be completed by the end of 2013.
Surfacing work for the entire segment between Highways and 22 and 71 has begun and should be completed by mid 2014. Shortly after this work is completed, the roadway will be opened to traffic.
Contact with AHTD officials to discuss engineering work for the next phase of I-49 between Highway 22 and I-40 continues with support from the region's highway commissioner and the Frontier Metropolitan Planning Organization.
Ben Geren Park Improvements
Sebastian County has appropriated its share of funds for the aquatic center project. Both the city board and county quorum court determined to use a construction manager approach for delivery of the project. Proposals have been solicited, and a contract should be approved in August. The aquatic center is planned to open in May 2015.
Construction bids have been received for 2 new softball fields, restroom/concession building, and parking lot for the girls softball league. A recommendation regarding bid award is expected in July.
The county has provided deeds which give the city an ownership interest in the land areas where the aquatic center and softball fields will be constructed. This is necessary to spend city funds at these locations.
Vision 2025 Plan
The consultant, Wallace, Roberts & Todd, and the citizens steering committee have met twice to begin the process of establishing a community vision and updating the city's comprehensive plan.
Extensive public engagement work has begun with an open house and soliciting the public's visions and desires for the future of Fort Smith in a variety of ways. A web site,
, has been created to gather input and allow the community to see people's interests.
Fire Station Improvements
The construction of fire station 11 at Chaffee Crossing continues on schedule and within budget. It should be completed by the end of 2013.
The board approved a construction contract in the amount of $783,000 for renovations and upgrades at all 10 fire stations.
Wet Weather Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Preparation of the site for the Zero St. pump station and equalization storage site was completed at a contract cost of $830,000 plus landfill disposal fees of $2.4 million.
The board approved construction and engineering inspection contracts for the Zero St. pump station and equalization storage facilities at a total cost of $13.4 million.
Neighborhood sewer line replacements/rehabilitations in the Towson/Dodson, Sunnymede and Ramsey areas were completed at a cost of $4.1 million.

Visiting My Nighbor
Visiting my neighbor in the noon would make the time pass away quickly .being fastening in those hot days not easy I entered her home and take my seat then we were talking it starts like women chit chat. I hate myself when I came back home showing the recording video of my mind, remembering of our conversation, how silly saying useless words it would not push me a step in life what was I telling oh I am a disaster. afterward I didn't stop blaming myself for saying stupid things now I am laying in my bed try to write what I can't reveal .
Secrets, sad secrets keep out scars it needs a huge amount of love to heal the injured soul. now I am taking off my socializing facial mask its shining made out of gold it is tough enough to face snow storms , being there with charming neighbor made me somehow suffering from happiness and left my chin wet oh my neighbor she a pretty lovely girl I just find my tongue released talking about any idea pass through my mind she a good listener and I am a good talkative What are funny subjects I open , my sister's husband, my life, a girl I barley know , people who are living between two societies and cultures
I am asking myself should this conversation make care to her absolutely not ok I will stop being tortured with my own sword and go on to the main subject "losing" now she offered me a quite smile and I have been invited to her boys room no one should blame her to act like so cruel I am the one who asked to see her baby girls clothes I beeped a look on that pinky shirt" it is fabulous" I said " I think so" she answered then we starts one by one until I finished them all I never miss to tell a compliment for every single piece especially for tiny sandals that should be a medal better than shoe . How kind God with us he gave part of us a new life to carry on what we could not finish. that is gorgeous eyes yes it makes us mothers , makes us leaders .The joy of their coming can't compare to all world's money I finally understand the circle of life oh babies I love you love looking to angle legs
My neighbor said with eyes full of pity which I did not need I hope you would be pregnant soon then I could stop by to see your baby's preparation clothes I tried to ignore what she did say I really did not want her to mention my big lost my twins baby boys I have broken heart and so tears pray to flow. Yes but not yet. I hold on i take a deep breath then said" I hope so".
Hi! Your story touched me.
Hi! Your story touched me. In a way, I can understand what you feel. I don't think pain lessens, but somehow we find a way of dealing with it. Things always have a way of working out......be patient.

Many of you have been so kind as to point out my grammatical mistakes in my columns to LRC. These mistakes, I have noticed, tend to be homophonic in nature: "principal" instead of "principle," or "chic" rather than "sheik." Of course "sheik" does not make scents in the context in which I used it no matter how hard I might have tried to justify using an Arab tribal leader to describe my new diet plan.
Obviously, I am not a writer by profession and sometimes get going a little two fast and take the first suggestion that MS Word throws at me without thinking much about it.
Honestly, the first time I herd the word homophone, I thought it was a cellular device that Richard Simmons used. (short comedic pause four bad attempt at humor)
Maybe the problem has to with the fact that I've spent almost half of my adult life oversees. Aye was to years in central America with the U.S. Navy and 10 years in Europe. Eye am fluent in 3 languages ( English, German and Romanian ) and get bye with Spanish in the present tense, and tend two confuse and mix the words in each. Sometimes eye can knot even remember the simplest word in English like: all ready, while being able two spit it out immediately inn German, "schon," oar in Romanian, "déjà." Sew, rather than being good at won language, it wood seam eye am mediocre at three with my biggest problem being homophones.
Regardless, the most important thing of coarse inn our continued fight two protect hour civil liberties as Americans hear at home is that we r able two understand won another. That we can communicate on a level that is unambiguous and clear. That the hissle and the fissle of my gissle is dope and ewe can feel me dog. That the egregious nature of my prose is knot two eclectic oar monolithic sew as two detract from the central massage: live free oar dye!
Having said that then, aye would like two take the thyme two thank those who have taken the thyme two right two me and point out my mistakes. Knot just anyone wood make the kind of effort kneaded two dew that, sew eye am inn yore debt. Aye no, eye do knot all ways have the thyme to reply two everyone, butt please no that eye am reading your emails and dew appreciate them. Sum of them make me laugh as much as eye hope mine dew ewe. And eye feel my writing skills r all ready improving.
It's exactly this sort of continued kinship that eye am beginning to feel with my fellow Americans and most specifically with the readers of LRC. You are knot only an intellectually astute group of folks butt also a group of folks witch exhibits a degree of reason and humanity rarely seen today and witch is sorely kneaded.
Four sew long eye have looked fore a place where eye could meat other like minded individuals, and it wood seam eye have found it and just inn a Nick of thyme.
Considering what is at steak, we can knot afford to let hour guard down. Considering the heavy tacks burden, monetary and non-monetary, that awl Americans bear. Considering the heavy cost wee have awl, all ready paid, wee must stay the coarse regardless of the consequences. Wee must remain Virgil at all thymes lest wee forget y wee r hear, who wee r and what wii can b.
Inn clothing, eye wood simply like two say: keep up the good work everyone and keep me on my tows!

(CNN) -- A manhunt for a serial killer is under way in Southern California after the fatal stabbings of three homeless men, authorities said.
In a span of 10 days last month, three transient men were killed in Anaheim, Brea and Placentia, according to police.
"Each victim was stabbed multiple times," said Sgt. Bob Dunn of the Anaheim Police Department.
Investigators believe it's the same assailant, he said, and urged the homeless to stay in groups, and avoid sleeping in dark and secluded areas.
"There are some additional similarities between the victims that we are not going to discuss," he said.
Dunn declined to comment on the weapon or other leads connecting the three attacks.
The first victim -- a 53-year-old male -- was stabbed on December 20 in Placentia.
Eight days later, a 42-year-old was found fatally stabbed on a riverbed trail in Anaheim. A third victim -- a 57-year-old-- was found on December 30 in Yorba Linda.
Police released a surveillance camera photo of the suspect taken on December 20. It shows the suspect standing a few feet away from the victim, who appears to be lying on the ground next to a strip mall, according to police.
Authorities have set up a task force to probe the killings comprising of the FBI and the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Anyone with information should call 714.765.1944.

Nathaniel's friend Israel Mendoza says they used to have class together at Sierra Middle School before Nathaniel transferred to Berrando.
"Out of everybody, why Nathaniel, out of everybody in the school why him?" said Mendoza.
Israel says they used to be in class together.
"Ms. Spicer's class. That's where we would just talk and chill," he said.
Israel said the hurt is deep at Sierra Middle School.

Welcome to another pointless enumeration!
Note: Dear Reader, this section hasn't been updaed since 2002. I'm working on it, I really am. I'm a big fan of TV, and I really wish I had what it takes to keep this updated. I will get to it one of these days though. Another problem is that by its very nature it must lag a little, because it's hard to know which series are truly great if you don't have a little distance.
I mean, I'm missing Buffy and Angel... that's just wrong.
The wonderful comedy series about the aliens who arrive at earth to learn about humans by observing them from within their midst. The comedy is built much around misconceptions by the Salomons, headed by the incredible John Lithgow playing Professor Dick Salomon, about how humans operate, with some physical humor thrown in for good measure. I find this show highly entertaining, though it might lose much of its appeal if it runs too many seasons.
One of, if not the best sci-fi series ever created. Very good story that spans episodes, and full of interesting characters in a very well thought out universe. Featuring the beautiful Claudia Christian as Lt. Commander Susan Ivanova. The continuity in the series is impressive, and might well be one of the primary reasons this is a great show.
UK Criminal/drama with Robbie Coltrane as Dr. Gerry "Fitz" Fitzgerald, the eccentric forensic psychologist who aid the police in their investigations by profiling criminals and taking care of interviews. He drink too much, eat too much, gamble too much, he is too much, but for all his eccentricities, you cannot but love him.
Also available in a version from the US, starring Robert Pastorelli as Fitz. Not as good as the UK version, but okay.
Last night I watched the last episode followed by the movie. It's amazing how this show has been able to keep the quality up throughout the years. The movie, by the way, can't possibly make much sense unless you've seen the series. The way the reunited Pembleton and Bayliss step in and take over an interview, the tention... Anyway, the movie felt a little too obvious and contorted, but that's the movie. The series is great, and I for one will watch it again should it be rerun.
With John Thaw as the cultured and educated Chief Inspector Morse and Kevin Whately as his "aide" and colleague Detective Sergeant Lewis. A superb British mystery series, often set in the vicinity of beautiful Oxford and its institutions of higher learning. More than good acting and a beautiful setting, the writing is excellent with its intriguing murder mysteries and interesting plot twists.
British murder/mystery series starring John Nettles, who's probably best known for his part in Bergerac. Here he play Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby. This series has a very small static cast, and there is very little information shared between the standalone episodes, and what little carries over have no impact on the mysteries themselves. There is however one thing you can count on from episode to episode, and that is that one of the other Barnaby's (wife or daughter) will supply the final clue which solves the puzzle in the head of our DCI hero. (Or so I thought; this seems to no longer be the case in later episodes. Might be a particular writer doing that)
I just love the intro to this show. I have it captured and play it from time to time, which I guess makes me a weirdo, but damned.. there's something about that intro, the feeling, the chello.
As for the show itself, it has its up and downs. It changes for the better as they write Frank's family out of the series and concentrate on Frank, The Group and his excommunication from it. Look out for the beautiful Lara Means.
Set at a high-profile lawfirm, the show was doomed because it was "too intelligent". Too few in the American audience could handle the extended plot, with the entire first season devoted to the investigation and trial of one murder. It's been a while since I saw it, but to me it was clearly a good concept and I was always looking forward to the next episode (you really wouldn't want to miss one, which was probably the problem 'over there')
A truly remarkable drama series. Succeeded in combining different genres of drama into one little self-contained (some notable cameos aside) world. In the center is the Brock family with Tom Skerritt as Jimmy Brock, the city sheriff and Kathy Baker as his wife, Jill Brock, MD and many many more characters throughout the town; beautiful Lauren Holly as officer Maxine Stewart, and Finkel Fyvush as the outrageous jewish lawyer Wambaugh.
This series is just sooo cool. Maybe it will wear off, but the first season felt very refreshing, and Lorrain Bracco is a babe :-). Season two is currently running; I'll flesh this section out later.
I first selected not to watch this series because it clashed with something else I was following. Fortunately that other series ended or switched time, for I found myself watching the second half of season two. Man was I hooked after that! A summer rerun of the series had me watching all the episodes of the first two seasons, and getting that continuity made just the difference.
I enjoy TWW because it's fairly intelligent. Sorkin's dialogue is intelligent, meaningful and entertaining. His characters are interesting, believable and self-consistent (to the degree necessary). The famed "walk and talks" are tight and well paced, something which speaks volumes about the writing and the capacity of the actors.
There is a reason for this show winning Emmys by the dozen. Watch it.
The classic mystery/drama series, which in my opinon rather revolutionised the TV-series format. This was something totally different, at least for me. Bordering on the bizarre, always with great humor and building on great casting, we saw Kyle MacLachlan as FBI Special Agent Dale "Coop" Cooper, investigating the murder of a teenage girl, the elusive Laura Palmer, in a small town by the name of Twin Peaks. The series is not very forgiving on new watchers, you must see every episode to be able to fully appreciate all the characters and the stories within the story.

Press ReleaseFrom the Office of State Senator Glenn Hegar, District 18
For Immediate Release October 7, 2011 Contact: Lisa Craven (512) 463-0118
AUSTIN, TX — Texas School Bus Safety Week is October 17-21, 2011 and is recognized in conjunction with the National School Bus Safety Week. During this week, State Senator Glenn Hegar reminds everyone to pay extra attention to school safety and the safety of our school children.
"As we observe Texas School Bus Safety Week, I would like to remind all motorists to exercise caution when driving through neighborhoods and school zones, especially during the school year. Although we Texans should always be extremely cautious when driving in a school zone or traveling on the road with school buses, this week is an excellent opportunity for all of us to take a moment and remember the necessity of safe driving. Everyone must be careful whenever they get behind the wheel, and as we raise public awareness about the safety of all our school children, pay particular attention in school zone areas and as they drop off or pick up their children from their schools," said Senator Hegar.
"The national theme for this special week, 'Be Aware-Know the Danger Zone!,'" continued Senator Hegar "emphasizes the importance of keeping our students safe outside of the school bus, especially when they are boarding or exiting the bus. I am particularly appreciative of this year's theme because it takes school bus safety a step further and reminds drivers that the need for prudent behavior extends beyond the school bus itself."
Not only does every Texan have a civic duty to follow school bus safety protocols, failure to adhere to rules and regulations can result in fines and other penalties. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, reckless drivers can face fines of up to $1,000, plus court costs if they are convicted. "Our children's safety," Senator Hegar stated, "is a priority for the State of Texas. Therefore, there are serious consequences for those who endanger the lives of our students by ignoring laws or exercising poor judgment."
Senator Hegar also takes this opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of school transportation professionals. "In particular," Senator Hegar continued, "I would like to pause for a moment during this special week to recognize the school bus drivers, who ensure a safe journey for students every day, and the teachers, who help safely load our children on and off of the school buses throughout the school year. These individuals go the extra mile to protect our state's most precious cargo, our children, and deserve special accolades during School Bus Safety Week."
School buses remain one of the safest modes of transportation in Texas and transport 1.4 million Texas children every school day. School buses account for less than one-half of one percent of all Texas roadway crashes.
Senator Hegar served two terms in the Texas House of Representatives and now represents Senate District 18 in the Texas Senate. He is a sixth generation Texan, and earns a living farming land that has been in his family since the mid 1800's. He currently resides in Katy, Texas with his wife Dara, and their three children, Claire, Julia, and Jonah.

A Personal Peek into My Life: Living with Ciguatera
photo by Erik Aeder
Aloha friends. Before the holidays really begin I wanted to send this to you; my supporters, clients, sponsors, friends, my Ohana in sincere gratitude for giving me the drive and strength to forge ahead.
I am so very thankful that I've lived on the beautiful island of Maui for almost 14 years. Living the island lifestyle and having the most amazing circle of friends is a real blessing. As a personal trainer, water sports enthusiast and SUP athlete and one whose passion is being on the water helping and coaching others; this is literally my way of life.
But what if you discovered that you had a health condition where it was contraindicated and/or suggested not to exercise too hard or possibly the notion of being in the sun, or ever eating fish again may not be the best thing to do and trigger your nervous system to release a toxin, so painful and disabling with no way to escape?
What if you were in a career that required you to do all the above and it was your life-long dream and passion? And what if you were paddling on a downwinder and your skin, your eyes, your mouth, your feet, felt afire like a vat of acid being poured on your body the entire way because your nerves have reversed your normal sensation of temperature? How would you navigate?
I feel compelled to share this with all of you, although I felt for some time it may be career suicide. As I pondered now for two years, I decided that maybe I could help others by informing them to take note of a condition that is becoming more recognized and common throughout the world. This is especially true for those of us living in Hawaii and other subtropical areas.
Before I go on, I don't want to alarm you, have you feel sorry for me or treat me any differently if you see me next to you at the next downwind race or out catching waves. I am training, I am paddling and I am on this planet to help others in many ways through the water sports I enjoy. So chalk this one up to one more way I want to help you become more aware or maybe help someone you know who may be or have had experienced similar symptoms.
You may be surprised to learn that this is how I've had to roll and cope since June of 2011 to be exact. This condition is often misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis and is one that I will have for the rest of my life. It is called ciguatera. (ci·gua·te·ra) Pronunciation: see-gwuh-ter-uh ( Reference links at end of article )
Some of the facts: As referenced by the The National Center for Biotechnology, they identify it as: "Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) is the most frequently reported seafood-toxin illness in the world, and it causes substantial physical and functional impact. It produces a myriad of gastrointestinal, neurologic and/or cardiovascular symptoms which last days to weeks, or even months.
They also state: Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a foodborne illness affecting humans worldwide. Humans acquire this illness by eating reef fish containing the naturally occurring toxins, ciguatoxins. Multiple ciguatoxins have been Continue reading A Personal Peek into My Life: Living with Ciguatera

Volunteer Projects
Spirit of State Street volunteers participate in a number of one-day opportunities, from sorting food items at the Greater Boston Food Bank to cooking and serving the homeless at Father
Bill's Place.
Our volunteers work with a number of populations in a variety of capacities. Each project is set up and run by a project leader, who provides the details and arranges carpooling options for volunteers, if necessary. Most of our projects are on the small side, and call for 5 to 15 people.
The Spirit of State Streets hosts an annual volunteer recognition event every fall at the State Street Financial Center. This event brings alumni and State Street leadership together to celebrate the individual and collective achievements of our alumni.
The Spirit of State Street also hosts outreach breakfasts for alumni twice a year that help alumni connect, learn about other volunteer opportunities and register for upcoming events.

I wouldn't but it's probably because the most manly of my friends dads growing up was Bradley nn Brad. I don't think I could wrap my head around the fact that the name didn't belong to the burley firefighter and volunteer lifeguard that saved me from drowning once or twice.
Though I could see how a girl could be given the name after her father. Sort of like Kelley - I could see how the -ley ending would make people feel it could be an acceptable unisex option....if my husbands has no vote, then....
