Shalini Gupta became so disgusted with news of gang rapes and corruption scandals in India that she left her job as a management trainer in Chicago and returned to her homeland after three decades of living overseas.
India is investigating the funding and operation of a lucrative cricket tournament after a minister quit over allegations he influenced the awarding of a franchise.
India's cricket chiefs will meet next week to consider action over a franchise scandal that has forced the resignation of a minister, as the government probes the funding of the game's most lucrative competition.
Indian minister and former United Nations official Shashi Tharoor has asked for a rapid probe into the death of his wife in an upscale New Delhi hotel last week, two days after she accused him of having an affair.
Shashi Tharoor, a junior foreign minister in the Indian government, resigned, the Indian President's office announced in an e-mailed statement late today.
(Corrects to delete reference to Gandhi family members as head of state in third paragraph.)
India's junior foreign minister Shashi Tharoor quit after a week of opposition claims that he influenced the award of a cricket franchise to his benefit, a controversy that last week stalled Parliament.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh overhauled his cabinet six weeks after unveiling the biggest policy changes in a decade as he bids to invigorate an embattled minority government in what may be his last reshuffle ahead of elections due within 18 months.
In July 1995, an Islamic fundamentalist group called Al Faran kidnapped six foreign tourists, including two Americans, in Kashmir. For a few weeks, the world's attention was fixed on the Himalayan valley as the allegedly Pakistan-backed militants negotiated with Indian security officials and foreign diplomats.
Are India and Pakistan likely to stumble into nuclear war? This appalling possibility has long been kept alive by conflicts between the two historical enemies, but it may have been pushed closer to fulfillment by a catastrophic failure of U.S. foreign policy in South Asia.
"In view of the ongoing political controversy, I have no desire to be an embarrassment to the government and believe that my departure at this stage will allow the prime minister and his cabinet colleagues to focus on the great challenges facing our nation."
- Shashi Tharoor on Apr 20, 2010

Jessie Ware's "Wildest Moments" has achieved something resembling ubiquity since its release last year (it's one of those songs I know by heart but I have no idea HOW I know it), and today, the awesome Scottish indie band Frightened Rabbit delivered their own take on the song for the British music site Gigwise's Cover Stories sessions. As frontman Scott Hutchison explains in the lead-up to the performance, "It's a simple, beautiful pop song … and I think it's the same with any good song: It should be able to be played in any format and still work." I'd agree with all that, and I'd argue that FR's pretty distinctly different take on "Wildest Moments" absolutely works. Check it out.

972: November
Title text: November marks the birthday of Charles Schulz, pioneer of tongue awareness.
This comic is a homage to Charles Schulz, the creator of the comic Peanuts, who was born on November 26, 1922. Here's the comic in question by Schulz. xkcd's version has Black Hat as Linus, and Cueball as Lucy. In both comics, when you start thinking about your tongue, you can't stop thinking about it. This is similar to the way that if you start thinking about your breathing, you stop breathing unless you consciously think to breathe.
This link also indicates that Schulz's comic is not completely about tongue awareness, instead has deeper meaning about one's existence in the world.
- [Black Hat and Cueball sit in a room]
- Black Hat: Did you know November is Tongue Awareness Month?
- [Cueball is suddenly aware of his tongue]
- [Cueball continues to be aware of his tongue]
- [Cueball is *still* aware of his tongue]
- Cueball: I hate you.
- Black Hat: Enjoy the next four weeks.

Welcome to 6th grade in Room 110!!!
Dear Parents/Guardians:
You are a valuable part of your child's education. Communication between home and school is a wonderful component to your child's success in school. I look forward to being apart of your child's education at Oakridge Upper Elementary. My goal is for each 4th grader to reach their personal learning goals and have a very successful year. The information listed below will help provide an overall description of room 8 procedures.
I. Student Planners (Assignment Books)
The Student Friday Folder has been designed to provide weekly communication to parents on their child, parent communication to and from the teacher, and will enclose their weekly assignments to review with your child to gain better understanding of what they are learning in school.
· Each Friday the student will take his or her Friday Folder home. It is due back the following Monday.
· Friday Folders will have the students' work from the week, lunch slip, and various other communications from the school.
The 4th grade homework policy is that any assignment that is turned in late is subject to a reduced grade. Assignments that are more than a week late may not be accepted, and could result in a zero. Students with missing assignments may have to stay in during recess for study hall to complete the work. I hope this doesn't happen often. If there is a problem with continuous late work, you will be notified right away.
IV. Snacks/Birthdays/Holiday Celebrations:
Please send a healthy snack for your child to eat during Teacher Read time. It needs to be something that they can keep in their lockers until Teacher Read without spoiling. I encourage students to bring a water bottle from home. Water and healthy snacks provide fuel for the brain. Your child is discouraged from bringing in soda, candy bars, or any other unhealthy snack.
Birthday treats may be brought in for the whole class to enjoy. This is the family's choice. If your family doesn't celebrate birthdays, please let me know. It is not my intention to upset a child.
Halloween: Students whose numbers range from 1-9
Christmas: Students whose numbers range from 10-17
Valentine's Day: Students whose numbers range from 18-26
V. Attendance:
If your child will be absent from school, please call the main office @ 788-7500, and have them excused. If you know in advance that your child will be out of school, I will try to get their assignments together ahead of time. Please try to allow me 24 hours notice so I am able to explain the assignments to your child. Attendance is critical to your child's success in school. We are learning new concepts every day. I do realize emergencies come up. This is where communication is critical so I can do everything possible to support you and your child's efforts for success.
VI. Discipline:
VII. Book Orders:
VIII. Lunch Money:
Lunch money is collected on Mondays. Please send your child's money in an envelope with THEIR NAME, AMOUNT, AND ROOM NUMBER clearly marked on the outside. Also please do not put anything but lunch money in the envelope. If you have more than one child, you can combine them into one envelope; however, just remember to put the names of all children and room numbers on the outside. Otherwise, all the money will go into one account.
Ms. Nieboer has provided your child with many of the necessary school tools to begin the school year. Each teacher has very limited funding. Below is a list of items that we would love if you could donate:
Post-It notes Kleenex Clorox/Lysol Wipes
Expo Markers Paper Towels Plates & Napkins
Please don't feel obligated to purchase these items; the above is a "wish list".
X. Grading Scale:
77-79 C+ 59 & below F
I am looking forward to a very successful year with your child. I am very open to communication and any and all concerns you may have regarding your child. Always feel free to contact me at 788-7553, or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, check out our classroom website for classroom updates and pictures. You can access this site by going to www.oakridgeschools.org and clicking on the upper elementary link, and then the Jackie Presson link. All spelling lists will be available via the website.
Your partner in your child's education,
Mrs. Presson

The allure of Napa is legendary, even clichéd. The wine country lifestyle, or whatever you want to call it, combined with the love of wine has inspired countless people to sell everything they own and head to Napa to try and live their own personal wine dream.
There must be people who simply flounder and fail in these endeavors. Like many of the unfortunate, their stories never surface for most of us. We tend to only hear about those that succeed in turning their dreams into reality. Yet I continue to be astonished at just how many people seem to do just that. As powerful as the pull of Napa may be, perhaps it is often equalled by the passion and drive that generates that attraction in the first place.
Certainly that seems to be the case with Sean Larkin, who by all accounts had a bright future ahead of him as the owner of a union sheet metal fabrication business in New Jersey for 25 years. He wasn't getting rich, but he was building a business that had legs, so to speak, and seemingly could have just kept on going.
But he started drinking wine, and then collecting it. Especially Bordeaux. And perhaps more importantly, he started to have strong opinions about it. Like many wine lovers who become "obsessed" with their newfound love, Larkin hungrily educated his palate and built up enough knowledge and preference to allow him to become a persistent thorn in the side of the owner of his favorite restaurant where Larkin ended up installing air conditioning ducts in the mid 1990's.
After hearing Larkin complain about the wine list for what was probably the umpteenth time, the owner snapped, "If you think you can do better, why don't you just go ahead and do it?"
A little more than a year later, the modest list of 50 American wines that Larkin assembled won a Wine Spectator restaurant award, and Larkin had begun making trips to Napa every chance he could find.
Two years of playing sommelier in his spare time, a few vacations to Napa, and Larkin decided he needed out of the sheet metal business, and into the wine business.
And we know the basic plot for this portion of the story... liquidated everything, jumped into the car, drove across the country, and started looking for a job. Larkin landed a job selling wine for the west coast arm of a distributor he had gotten to know in New Jersey, and before he knew it, he had a lead on half a ton of Cabernet Franc for $1200 that he knew was good fruit (mostly because he was selling a wine that came from those grapes).
With some help from none other than Robert Foley, who Larkin had met during his brief stint as an extracurricular sommelier, Larkin made his first wine in 1999 and hasn't looked back since.
Larkin now makes about 1800 cases of wine, which he says is just about enough to keep him in rent, groceries, and the costs of flying around the country trying to sell the stuff, and he couldn't be happier. His main focus continues to be Cabernet Franc, made under the Larkin Wines label, but when his son Jack was born on 2004, the same year he got access to some Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Pritchard Hill, and decided to make a wine that would bear his son's name.
Made from grapes grown in the Melanson Vineyard on Pritchard Hill and farmed by John Arns, about 144 cases of this Cabernet are made each year. They age in 50% new French oak and 50% used and neutral oak for about 18 months before release.
Tasting Notes:
Dark garnet in color, this wine has a nose of cassis and black cherry. In the mouth it is smooth and velvety with slightly grapey, cassis flavors wrapped around a core of cherry and chocolate. Light velvety tannins emerge as the wine finishes. This wine conveys a sense of being young, but has the raw materials to likely blossom into something quiet nice over the course of a year or two.
Food Pairing:
This is a young wine, whose fruit seems well matched with salty, meaty bits if you know what I mean. Perhaps a well marinated skirt steak?
Overall Score: around 9
How Much?: $75

Police have made an arrest in connection with a group of people who ransacked a Brooklyn Rite Aid store Monday and attacked a customer following a vigil for a 16-year-old shot and killed by police, and are hoping surveillance video will lead them to other suspects in the case.
Police arrested Brooklyn resident Kaven Menard, 19, and charged him with robbery.
They allege that Menard was involved in the Monday incident at the Rite Aid on Church Avenue in East Flatbush.
Authorities released video Tuesday of Monday night's incident.
The incident happened after a vigil for Kimani "Kiki" Gray, who was shot by police this past weekend after police say he pulled a loaded handgun on two plainclothes officers.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said witnesses reported hearing the officers say "don't move" and "freeze," but he didn't say whether any witnesses could corroborate reports that Gray pointed the gun at officers.
"There's nothing to indicate that this shooting, at this time, was outside the guidelines," Kelly said.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
Meanwhile, roughly 100 people, many members of the Occupy movement picked up the banner of anger at police, marching on the sidewalks Tuesday night while police walked along with them.
Residents at Tuesday's march said they were upset with the events that transpired at the Rite Aid the night before.
"It was wrong, 'cause nobody in the Rite Aid did anything to them," said one.
"In terms of vandalism, which was unnecessary, that's not right," said a second.
"It's just senseless," said a third. "You're taking out your anger on people that had nothing to do with the situation."
Adults in East Flatbush said Tuesday that they're worried about their neighbors and their neighborhood, while the young adults NY1 spoke with focus on the loss of Kiki Gray.
"It was a hurtful thing that he died like that, and I hope they do get justice for what happened," said one.
A middle-aged Army veteran who lives here said he understands that frustration. He said he's been stopped and frisked by police many times.
"It's not like the police departments have a good PR relationship with black folks in the community," he said. "So yes, I am skeptical."

Plaintiffs indicate that good cause exists for sealing these documents, because they contain confidential, proprietary, and commercially sensitive financial information which, if disclosed, could harm Ferrero's ability to compete in the marketplace. (Id. at 4-5.) "Historically, courts have recognized a 'general right to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.'" Kamakana v. City & Cnty of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns., Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 & n.7 (1978)). Except for documents that are traditionally kept secret, there is "a strong presumption in favor of access to court records." Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. 28 -1- 11cv205 1 Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1135 (9th Cir. 2003); see also Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178-79. "A 2 party seeking to seal a judicial record then bears the burden of overcoming this strong 3 presumption by meeting the compelling reasons standard. That is, the party must articulate 4 compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings, ... that outweigh the general history 5 of access and the public policies favoring disclosure, such as the public interest in 6 understanding the judicial process." Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178-79 (citations and quotation 7 marks omitted). The presumed right to access to court proceedings and documents can be 8 overcome "only by an overriding right or interest 'based on findings that closure is essential 9 to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest.'" Oregonian Publ'g 10 Co. v. United States Dist. Court, 920 F.2d 1462, 1465 (9th Cir.1990) (quoting Press-Enterprise 11 Co. v. Superior Court, 446 U.S. 501, 510 (1985)). 12 The Court concludes that good cause exists to seal the requested documents. 13 Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs' ex parte application to file under seal the 14 unredacted reply in support of Plaintiffs' motion for class certification, the unredacted 15 Declaration of Melanie Persinger and unredacted versions of Exhibits 1-2 attached thereto. 16 IT IS SO ORDERED. 17 DATED: October 24, 2011 18 ______________________________ 19 MARILYN L.

A - Thanks for the great question! First let us explore what it means to be "present". Vatican II in Sacrosanctum Concilium (the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy) says that Christ is "present" to us in five different ways. I will highlight them in the text below from SC, 7:
To accomplish so great a work, Christ is always present in His Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the sacrifice of the Mass, not only in the person of His minister, "the same now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross" (20), but especially under the eucharistic species. By His power He is present in the sacraments, so that when a man baptizes it is really Christ Himself who baptizes (21). He is present in His word, since it is He Himself who speaks when the holy scriptures are read in the Church. He is present, lastly, when the Church prays and sings, for He promised: "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matt. 18:20) .
So, we have Christ truly present:
- In the priest,
- In the Sacraments,
- In the Scriptures,
- In the people,
- Especially in the Eucharist.
We could even add others. He is truly present in each individual believer who is in the state of grace as well as his Mystical Body, the Church. With this being said, the Church has always taught that there is a difference in the way that Christ is present in the Eucharist. The council of Trent gave us the formula of "body, blood, soul, and divinity".So, while we say Christ is "truly present" in several different ways to us, there is a different kind of presence that the Church speaks of when talking about the Eucharist and not in the other ways. He is present in the Eucharist in a way that changes the reality of what is there.
The Catechism tells us more about how Christ is present to us:
CCC 1374 The mode of Christ's presence under the Eucharistic species is unique. It raises the Eucharist above all the sacraments as "the perfection of the spiritual life and the end to which all the sacraments tend." In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist "the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained." "This presence is called 'real' - by which is not intended to exclude the other types of presence as if they could not be 'real' too, but because it is presence in the fullest sense: that is to say, it is a substantial presence by which Christ, God and man, makes himself wholly and entirely present."So, what the Church is saying is that Jesus isn't only present in a spiritual way. But, rather there is a substantial change and all of Christ is now here for us.
In Benedict's first encyclical he writes on this topic:
"Mysterium fidei! - The Mystery of Faith!". When the priest recites or chants these words, all present acclaim: "We announce your death, O Lord, and we proclaim your resurrection, until you come in glory".
In these or similar words the Church, while pointing to Christ in the mystery of his passion, also reveals her own mystery: Ecclesia de Eucharistia. By the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost the Church was born and set out upon the pathways of the world, yet a decisive moment in her taking shape was certainly the institution of the Eucharist in the Upper Room. Her foundation and wellspring is the whole Triduum paschale, but this is as it were gathered up, foreshadowed and "concentrated' for ever in the gift of the Eucharist. In this gift Jesus Christ entrusted to his Church the perennial making present of the paschal mystery. With it he brought about a mysterious "oneness in time" between that Triduum and the passage of the centuries.
The thought of this leads us to profound amazement and gratitude. In the paschal event and the Eucharist which makes it present throughout the centuries, there is a truly enormous "capacity" which embraces all of history as the recipient of the grace of the redemption. This amazement should always fill the Church assembled for the celebration of the Eucharist. But in a special way it should fill the minister of the Eucharist. For it is he who, by the authority given him in the sacrament of priestly ordination, effects the consecration. It is he who says with the power coming to him from Christ in the Upper Room: "This is my body which will be given up for you This is the cup of my blood, poured out for you...". The priest says these words, or rather he puts his voice at the disposal of the One who spoke these words in the Upper Room and who desires that they should be repeated in every generation by all those who in the Church ministerially share in his priesthood. (EE, 5)
So, how is Christ present is best answered by saying that it is a "real presence" of the "whole Christ" in his "body, blood, soul and divinity".
What a great thing to meditate on more!
I hope this helps.

What medication can I take for excessive gas, other than Beano?
- Q: What medication can I take for excessive gas, other than Beano?
- A: Flatulence is normal, with most people passing gas 20 times per day. Excessive gas may be caused by certain health conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but it could also be due to the foods you eat or the air you swallow while eating. Over-the-counter medicines for gas include digestive enzymes, such as Beano and Lactaid (lactase enzymes), and products containing charcoal and/or simethicone (Gas-X, Phazyme). Probiotics may also be helpful in reducing gas, although scientific studies have not been done to confirm this. Probiotics, like yogurt, contain

Chapel at Westmont
Why does Westmont College have chapel? Our address demands it:
955 La Paz Rd.,
Santa Barbara,
United States,
North America,
Western Hemisphere,
Planet Earth,
Solar System,
Milky Way Galaxy,
Mind of God.
Emily, in Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town" addressed her schoolbooks that way. And it's very close to saying what the apostle Paul said when he quoted the seventh century Greek poet Epimenides to the Athenian philosophers on Mars Hill: "For in him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28). Paul was appalled at the idolatry of these pagans. Their gods were limited to specialized functions and places in heaven and earth: rivers and thunder and agriculture and fertility. The God he came to proclaim was the one who actually made the heavens and the earth. He was a big God. He wasn't in things, things were in him. The idols were frauds, no-gods.
The implications are profound. The God of the Bible obliterates the division between the sacred and the secular by doing away with the secular altogether. The whole creation is sacred because the whole creation is God's — in him and from him and through him and to him (Romans 11:36). "The world is charged with the grandeur of God," wrote the priest-poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. "It will flame out like shining from shook foil."
How does one act in a sacred space? Humbly. More conscious. Deeply respectful. With wonder and awe. Sacred spaces are places of worship, of service to God. For those who know where they are, all of life is worship because all of life is lived in sacred space, God's space.
We worship God at Westmont — we have chapel — because we know where we are and don't want to forget it.
Worship services at Westmont are like leaven or salt in our community. Though they make up only a tiny portion of our life together, they affect everything else we do. In chapel we sanctify a part for the sake of the whole. We worship God in chapel so that we may worship and serve him everywhere else — in the classroom, the laboratory, the dorm and the D.C. Chapel services, gatherings of thanksgiving and praise to God, and the hearing of the Word of God are integral to the Westmont experience.
The Heart of God
But there is a greater reason for worshiping God at Westmont. For when this awesome God wanted to reveal his heart, he didn't speak in hurricane, thunder and blinding light. The Word he spoke was simply, "Jesus," the one who came from the Father's side, full of grace and truth. So great is the Father's love for us "that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus, the sinless Son of God, died for our sins to remove our guilt and rescue us from the tyranny of Satan.
We worship God at Westmont because we believe the Gospel and don't want to forget it.
Every chapel service is a little reminder, a memorial of God's amazing love — and an opportunity to do what we can never over do: say thank you. It works this way: God's motive in reaching out to us in Christ was his love; his purpose was to make us lovers too. Worshippers. We love because he first loved us. The song the citizens of heaven sing to the Christ is, "You were slain and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God." Christ died to make us priests. Priests serve by worship.
We worship God at Westmont because Christ died to make us worshippers.
Actually, the very sin Christ died for was our refusal to love and worship God. The heart of human darkness is, "For although they knew God, they neither worshiped him as God nor gave thanks to him." In chapel we practice what Christ died to restore in us. Worship is God's right and our need. We have chapel because we know the truth of St. Augustine's longing: "You made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you." And David's: "My soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you." All our longings are signposts to God, pointing to God and fulfilled in God. We are most human when God is most God to us. For "the glory of God is man fully alive, and the life of man is the vision of God" (Irenaeus).
First Thing!
Every community and academy has its "first thing," its point of departure, foundation and cornerstone. For Westmont it is Colossians 1:18, "So that in everything [Christ] might have the supremacy." "Supremacy" is a worship word. "Everything" describes the sphere of supremacy, of worship. Abraham Kuyper, in his inaugural address at the Free University of Amsterdam, paraphrased Colossians 1:18 when he asserted that there is not one thing in all creation that Christ does not lay his hand on and say, "Mine!"
This is the conviction that animated the founders of Westmont and led them to make bold steps of faith and endure great difficulty to establish this institution. Chapel services were not an after thought for these men and women. Chapel represented, and in many ways embodied, the heartbeat of their mission. When we gather in chapel, we honor the Lord. We also honor these servants of the Lord. When you come to Westmont, for whatever reasons, whether as student, faculty or staff, you join something that was there before you arrived. Coming to Westmont is like joining a family with unique traditions and ethos.
Chapel services are like the family meal, the one gathering to which everyone is invited. In chapel we encounter the value of the various and diverse members of the Westmont family, past, present and even future. Over time we enter into a lively fellowship with the Westmont community: professors, founders, roommates, custodians, alumni. Day to day, amid the heat and busyness of a packed semester, chapel can be a way to integrate the fractured life of a diverse community.
Practicing Worship
How do we do chapel? Above all, we earnestly want everything we do in chapel to have biblical and theological integrity. We want to worship God in ways that please him. Our roots and affections are evangelical, but our larger loyalty is to historic Christian orthodoxy.
We believe that whatever we may know about worship, we still have a lot to learn. Our understanding of God and the God we worship is partial. The need to worship is natural, the capacity and ability for authentic worship is not; it must be taught and cultivated. Chapel services are not only acts of worship, they are training in worship, disciplines in the enjoyment of God, practices of the pleasure of his presence.
A Christian college is a place where one's vision of God, and therefore one's humanity, is expanded and deepened. Chapel should frequently be educational; an invitation to acquire a new, larger and more thoughtful set of criteria for what makes worship good. Services will at times feel very familiar and other times very foreign. We want chapel to sometimes seem a perfect fit and other times something you must grow up into.
Among other things, this means growing in understanding and appreciation of the diverse ways Christians once have and now worship God. We want to be sensitive to the perspectives that can shape worship:gender, ethnicity, culture, theology, ecclesiastical traditions, style, chronology (the communion of the saints, the richness of church history), age (e.g., young, middle age, old age), seasons of life (e.g. seasons of doubt, the journey of faith, post-college, etc.), vocation (e.g., different walks of life, business, academia, pastors), theoretical and practical, campus, local, national, international.
Do we really think we can accomplish all this in only 50 minutes three times a week? Hardly. Not even in 15 weeks a semester over four years. But we like the challenge. As the saying goes, if you aim for nothing, that's what you will hit. There are bigger obstacles than time, however: certain attitudes and outlooks, many of them cultural, that misunderstand and run counter to the idea of a Christian college. We list a few:
- Confusion over the meaning of freedom and choice.
- The second misconception is that choice is acting on the mood of a moment.
- It's all about me
- Individualism and Privatism
- Spiritual Dryness
- Anxiety
- Rudeness
Worship is authentic only if I have chosen to go. Anything else is inauthentic and coercive. No one should ever be forced to worship. Required chapel undermines freedom of worship and conscience.
This view seems to be based on two misconceptions. The first is that choice equals freedom; the more choices, the more freedom. The fact is, this idea has much more to do with American consumerism than biblical truth. Biblical freedom is not freedom to do whatever you want, but to do what is right — and to want to do what is right.
William Willimon, former dean of the chapel at Duke University, sees an irony in all this concern about choice:
- "Most of us have been taught that religion is something we ought to choose for ourselves. We don't remember being taught this because choosing for ourselves is a value so widely held in this society, so firmly sanctioned by the economic order and government, that choosing for ourselves seems natural, innate. In so believing we demonstrate how well a consumer society has formed us, turning our lives into a mere matter of consumer preference without our ever remembering when we were taught. We did not choose to believe that personal choice is the highest human virtue. Rather, we were taught, formed, forced to believe that nothing is important in life other than that which we have personally chosen. The irony is that the belief that nothing is important in life other than that which we have personally chosen is a belief that we have not personally chosen! The supermarket and shopping mall have been our school."
I am free only if I can do what I feel like doing right now. The truth is, the best choices, and the most freeing, are not about the mood of a moment, but the commitments of a lifetime (or a college career). Marriage is that kind of choice, the promise to choose to behave in a certain way for a lifetime, regardless of moods and moments. God is this way! He makes promises and covenants to behave in a certain ways for thousands of generations.
To come to Westmont is to RSVP to an invitation to a banquet of sorts. The menu is nourishing and will feed your soul. It is to choose over time, in multiple situations and moods, to engage your mind in vigorous disciplines of learning, to embrace a community and its standards, and to worship God with that community. Students are no more forced to worship at Westmont than anyone is forced to accept the invitation.
The worship service was good if I felt good about it. If the music or speaker was pleasing or in some other way met my standards, the service was a success. This view is utterly alien to Scripture. True worship is worship that pleases God, meets his standards and honors his name in the ways he has prescribed. True worship is not about us, it's about God. Soren Kierkegaard said God is the audience in worship, we are the performers, and those who get up front to speak or sing are the prompters — those who help the performers perform. The question we should ask ourselves after every service of worship is not, "How did they (the prompters, the preacher, the singers, etc.) do?" But, "How did I do? Did the Holy Audience receive my best performance?"
My faith is strictly a private matter between God and me. It's nobody's business but mine. Again there is no support for this view in Scripture. Quite the opposite: to be a Christian is to become a member of the Body of Christ. One can no more practice the faith apart from the Body of Christ than a hand can be a hand apart from the body. Jesus did not found a religion, but a church (Mt 16:18). Christian faith is personal but never private. Faith is lived out in the community of God's people or not at all.
I'm flat spiritually, indifferent, even uninterested in the things of God. I'm increasingly disconnected from the (fill-in-the-blank) style of worship, speaker, leadership or other students. Spiritual dryness happens to the greatest of saints. They are in surprising agreement as to what to do with it. Boiled down it is: learn from your dryness. Let it be a teacher, not a master. Keep coming back for prayer, worship, the fellowship of other believers. Ninety percent of growing in faith is just showing up.
The fear of what's next — a paper due, a test. It's hard enough to have it on your mind — it's worse to bring the work into chapel with you. There are three things you can do with the anxiety. One, you may want to do a little Matthew 6:33 exercise: seek first his Kingdom by setting aside your work and giving God the honor that is his due. Two, use one of your chapel misses to study. You have 12 in all, roughly a month of chapels, one-fourth of the semester. Besides, chapel is a lousy place to study. Three, learn to manage your time in such a way that you won't be in a panic.
There are many ways we can act that are heedless, even callous, to the fact that we are sitting in a gathering designed to honor our Lord and our Savior. The list is long and includes things like: an open laptop, study notes and textbooks spread out; noisily getting up to go to the restroom, walking down the bleachers, out the door, letting it slam, then walking back in and up to the top of the bleachers; chatting with friends, physical affection between boyfriend and girlfriend. Usually these kinds of things are not done maliciously but thoughtlessly. But the effect is the same: God is dishonored and those who want to honor him are distracted. There aren't enough rules — don't do this, don't do that — to fix this. Only a change of heart and attitude will.
How to Get the Most out of Chapel
Attend! To attend to something is by definition to listen, participate, engage, learn. Just showing up, filling out a chapel attendance card and occupying a space is not true attendance. At the heart of chapel attendance is an attitude of reverence.
It is, after all, God who is being worshiped in chapel. He alone is worthy of our full attention. His love, holiness and majesty demand the kind of fear the Scriptures say is the beginning of wisdom.
- Talk about it
- Be real
- Be expectant
Let the things that happen in chapel be opportunities for dialogue and conversation with other students, faculty, the Adams professor of music and worship, and the Campus Pastor's office. Explore the implications for faith and life of the things you hear and do in chapel. Do you like something? Say so and why. Do you not like something? Say so and why constructively.
Ask yourself honestly, can I say I truly attend chapel — and show reverence for God — when I: chat with my neighbor, send text messages, plug into an iPod, or do homework? Are my attitudes toward chapel a product of my culture or of biblically faithful, thoughtful conviction?
Expect to meet with God in chapel. Jesus has promised to be present wherever two or three gather in his name. Know that the Lord is there in Murchison Gym when we are whether we feel him or not. Know that he is pleased with our loving attention.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Dave Sobelman of Sobelman's Pub & Grill and Tallgrass Grill has his eye on the former Angelo's Pizza building, 1601 W. Wells St.
He's working on a deal to lease the building from Marquette University; Sobelman said he couldn't say anything further now.
Angelo's longtime proprietor Dominic "Donny" Albano sold the property to the university in 2010 after he learned he was sick with pancreatic cancer; the restaurant had been a campus fixture for decades. Albano died in January.
Sobelman's Pub & Grill, known for its burgers, is at 1900 W. St. Paul Ave. Sobelman and his wife, Melanie, opened the Tallgrass Grill at 1952 N. Farwell Ave. in 2009.

Editor's note: Stephanie Cutter is a co-host of the new "Crossfire," which debuts on Monday, September 9, at 6:30 p.m. ET on CNN. She is a partner at Precision Strategies, which advises Democratic candidates and progressive and corporate clients. She served in the White House as deputy senior advisor to President Obama and then served as deputy campaign manager for his re-election campaign. She joined Obama's 2008 campaign as Michelle Obama's chief of staff and senior adviser to then-Senator Obama.
(CNN) -- The eyes of the world are on the U.S. Congress this week and next. Unlike resolutions about naming a post office, honoring the 2013 World Series champion Boston Red Sox or defunding Obamacare, members of Congress also take votes that test their consciences and prompt them to examine what they believe because the right vote might not be the one that is politically expedient or representative of the current public mood.
Our elected representatives will vote on whether to authorize the president to use military force in Syria, where according to U.S. and British intelligence, the regime of Bashar al-Assad defied an international norm and used sarin gas to murder roughly 1,400 of its own citizens, including more than 400 children.
The American people, weary from more than a decade of war, are rightfully skeptical of any plan to get involved in a civil war that already has claimed the lives of more than 100,000.
At times like this, I think about the words of my former boss, Sen. Ted Kennedy, who 11 years ago this month on the precipice of the Iraq War said, "There is a difference between honest public dialogue and partisan appeals. There is a difference between questioning policy and questioning motives.
"There are Republicans and Democrats who support the immediate use of force -- and Republicans and Democrats who have raised doubts and dissented. In this serious time for America and many American families, no one should poison the public square by attacking the patriotism of opponents, or by assailing proponents as more interested in the cause of politics than in the merits of their cause. I reject this, as should we all."
Voting your conscience -- standing up for what you believe in -- is not only the safest way to ensure you can articulate a defense for your vote, but it's also your duty as an elected official.
This crime committed by al-Assad's government, and belief that inaction could lead more countries to use chemical weapons and put our security in peril, has forced a president who said he "was elected to end wars" into the unlikely position of advocating for military action.
By seeking the authorization of Congress, the president did his part to restore the power to the people, or, specifically, to their elected representatives.
Like Kennedy, I, too, would like to reject the notion that Republicans or Democrats in Congress would seize upon this vote to tally political points or pad their campaign finances.
Pacifist Democrats or libertarian Republicans may vote against the authorization because, after more than a decade of war, they don't think the United States should intervene.
Others on both sides of the aisle will vote for it because they believe our country has a role to play in holding dictators accountable who use weapons of mass destruction in violation of a standard adhered to by 98% of the world's population.
Both votes should be votes of conscience.
Unfortunately, last week we saw a congressman accused of fundraising off his position switch, a presidential hopeful suspected of reversing his stance to please his party's base and remembrances of former presidential contenders who were tarnished by voting for a war.
For those elected officials who are concerned about how his or her vote will impact their next election or their future presidential pursuits, I promise you two things: Voters will respect your decision if it is made out of duty of office, rather than personal ambition, and whatever you think the politics are today might not be the same politics a year from now, and will most certainly not be the politics three years from now.
There is an eternity between now and the next presidential election, and the most important aspect you can retain between now and that first presidential primary vote is authenticity -- don't put your finger to the wind, vote out of spite for this president or overcorrect the lessons of the fateful vote in 2002 to authorize the Iraq War.
Do what you think is right, and the politics will follow.
On "Crossfire," in Congress and in the public discourse, I am looking forward to the thoughtful discussion about the stakes in Syria, and I am proud to live in a country where peaceful disagreements are part of our fabric.

Paco & Lola Albarino 2011
Albarino from Rias Baixas, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
An attractive straw color, with hints of green in the rim. Clean and brilliant. The nose is very expressive and harmonious. Fine notes of white fruit (green apples, pear) and lemony aromas. Hints of herbs (basil) and flower blossom base notes. Surprising aromatic intensity. The palate is clean and textured. Seductive and exotic notes of pineapple and mango intermingle with refreshing citrus flavors, amplified by minerally accents. Silky, but full-bodied, with a long and lingering finish. Round and very tasty.
Paco & Lola make a divine duo with sushi, pastas, fish, rice dishes, white meats, seafood, fish and shellfish stews.
Critical Acclaim
Decanter - "Peachy and stony, with warmth, ripeness and lovely, savoury greengage fruit on the mid palate which has a pristine feel. Final taste is of roasted lemons and herbs, with a stony, almost salty mineral note."
Paco & Lola Winery
Paco & Lola comes from 500 acres of vineyards in Meaño, a special area in the Salnés Valley of northwest Spain, is considered to be the cradle of Albariño wine – the king of white wines in Spain.
Behind Paco & Lola is a dynamic team with the vision of creating Spain's most modern winery. Our winemaking is dedicated to expressing our local terrior and we've invested in the latest tank, press, filtering and temperature control systems. Employing sustainable production techniques and minimizing waste, we make high quality wine that respects the environment. View all Paco & Lola Wines
About Rias BaixasView a map of Rias Baixas wineries (REE-ez BUY-shuss) Spain's prominent white wine region. Situated in Galacia, the region is wet and rainy with some large temperature changes due to its proximity to the coast. The main grape of note here is Albarino, the white variety known for creating fragrant and fruity wines perfect for seafood. The bottles are easily recognized as they all print "Albarino" on their label.
Notable FactsThere are sub-districts in Rias Baixas, a few of them are more prone to blending Albarino with some other indigenous grapes, which can make the wines more aromatic or fuller-bodied. Both single variety Albarino and blended wines excel in this area. Aromatic and light, one whiff of these whites may bring thoughts of a Sauvignon Blanc, but after one sip the creamy texture says otherwise. Typical aromas and flavors are peach, honeysuckle, lime and vanilla.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

This is a nicely-priced Albarino and is surprisingly good. It seems that there isn't much of a price/quality relationship with Albarino as we've spent a lot for some bottles and not received much of a bump in quality.

Eye-opening surprise! Light gold color, medium body, leggy. The nose amazes; medium to large, Apricots and lime zest, perhaps a note of mango. The flavors are pretty big and mouth-filling with a nice finish (the slightest hint of desirable bitterness); there is ample fruit but also plenty of bright acidity to balance it. I gather that Albarino is a cousin of Riesling and the inheritance is clear but this is much bigger than a Kabinett and better balanced. It is a dry white but fruity and lively.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Looking for a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and save a little money? LED light bulbs are more efficient and offer better light quality than Compact Florescents (CFLs), plus they don't contain dangerous mercury. Phillips' AmbientLED Bulb is fully dimmable and has an average lifespan of 25,000 hours- roughly 22 years. Though they are a little more pricey, retailing for about $25, they will far outlive their incandescent counterparts and end up saving you money.
Don't be put off by its appearance. When turned off it has a yellow appearance, but when turned on it is warm white, similar to a 60-watt incandescent light bulb. (See photos above)
No one will know the difference when it's concealed in one of these gorgeous lamps we've been eying from Restoration Hardware!

S&P Expects Merger Activity To Pick Up In The Americas This Year - A Look At The Sectors
Sectors in which we expect further M&A activity in Latin America include:
-Telecoms, following the trends of rising demand and convergence with media and data services companies.
-Consumer products, spurred by consolidation in the non-alcoholic beverage and food processing industries
-Financial services, as some European banks divest of certain Latin American assets to support capital at the parent level.North American Sector-by-Sector We believe that a revival in transaction levels and volumes is dependent on continued positive momentum in the U.S. economy and the eurozone economic and banking difficulties not deteriorating materially. "If this positive scenario for M&A were to play out, U.S. industries in which we would expect to see an elevated level of M&A in 2013 include technology, telecom, energy, and health care," says David Wood, managing director in the Corporate Ratings Group of Standard & Poor's "Growth in gaming activity across states should lead to increased M&A in that sector as well. In Canada, we expect the mining industry to be very active this year, as it was in 2012."
