Things look promising.
Tomorrow and next week the first week of the trading year will possibly produce half of the year's return for the broader market, with 5-8 percent returns. Biotech mutual funds could see a 30 percent return by end of 2015.
Maybe on Friday or possibly during the first trading week of 2015, but it is coming quick.
If you are Long or whatever, get out and suck up your pride, lick your wounds and look for another entry point and then pray, or just walk away and call it a day.
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
Now every gambler knows the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep
Prepare for liftoff.
That's what it looks like to me.
Up tomorrow Tuesday to $3.40 to $3.50, 7% or 8%.
In the 8K above: MSIP II Buffalo Holdings, LLC
is $19.02 to $23.75 a share. Let us see what the new year brings. The ZIOPHARM Oncology and biotechnology company stocks have made a nice rebound from the recent so called Flight to Safety plummet that occurred in the Biotechnology sector.
That's all I got.
ZIOPHARM Could Increase in Value 4-to-5 Fold, Griffin Securities Says
redisnI treetS
Griffin Securities analyst Keith Markey highlighted ZIOPHARM Oncology (NASDAQ: ZIOP) amid Friday's successful IPO debut for Juno Therapeutics (NASDAQ: JUNO) and the mid-December IPO for Bellicum Pharmaceuticals, noting the two became public companies garnering valuations of $2.7 billion and $511 million, respectively.
Markey notes Ziopharm's valuation led the advance of established public immunotherapy companies, as its price rose 40% off a December 3rd low.
"We attribute the gain to the unveiling of a novel immunotherapy platform that uses genetically modified stem cells to trigger a highly specific immune attack," he said. "The company s valuation stood at $493 million at the market's close last week, while that of its partner, Intrexon Corporation, was $2.8 billion. Elsewhere, Kite Pharma's (NASDAQ: KITE) share price increased 30% since December 1st as discussions of its CAR T-cell program laid the groundwork for a $188 million secondary offering and a valuation of $2.1 billion. The share price of Northwest Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: NWBO), which does not have genetically modified cells, rose just 13% since December 1st, resulting in a market cap of $357 million. Investors may be awaiting data from a pivotal trial, scheduled to end in September, of its activated dendritic cells against primary brain cancer."
The analyst is looking for Ziopharm s market capitalization to rise markedly as the genetically modified cell therapies developed in collaboration with Intrexon prove themselves in the clinic. "Indeed, the valuations of Juno and Kite point to a potential four- to five-fold increase in its share price on data from early clinical trials," he said.
Buy price target of $12.00
Stockholders are making decent dough as the share price is heating up and some good bread will be made in this market as it continues to rise.
This is the last buying opportunity before the stock begins trading in the $1's. I anticipate that it will take an effort for the stock to break through the $1.00 a share psychological barrier. The stock will eventually close above the dollar mark for 10 consecutive days regaining NASDAQ compliance and then move higher and trade in the teens $1.13 - $1.19 for an elongated period of time, how long elongated will be remains to be seen.
Select Natural Gas FSNGX +5.12%
Select Natural Resources FNARX +5.05%
Select Energy FSENX +4.75%
Select Energy Services FSESX +4.35%
Making a move
The Company and clinical experts will host an Investor Meeting on Thursday, December 11, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. CT to review the Company's breast cancer program as well as the Phase 2 results. The meeting will take place in the River Walk Room at the Mokara Hotel & Spa. A live webcast and replay of the presentation will be available on the investor section of the GTx website.
Sad but true and earlier in the year there was a historical All Time High price for the stock.

Charels S. Gorgas & Elizabeth Skinner are listed in the Warren Co., NJ census in 1850 in the Greenwich Division [enumeration district?]. Elizabeth, b 1824 in or near Chester, Morris CO., NJ, is the youngest sister of my gg-grandfather, John Crater Skinner. Charles is listed as a butcher, age 29, b. in PA. Also listed are 3 children: Jacob S[kinner?], age 4; Joseph, age 2; and William, age 1. Although this isn't a direct line, I am interested in tracing descendents of the Jacob Skinner & Parthenia Leake/Leek line [parents of John & Elizabeth Skinner]. I am happy to find the Gorgas GenForum page, since trying to find Gorgas sources has been difficult at a distance from NJ. Thanks for any help from the Gorgas families.

This is a pair of oriental goddess earrings. They feature a rather pouty faced woman with a faux pearl under her chin, a rhinestone over her head and movable goldtone metal hoop earrings in her ears on a goldtone metal back.
The enamel on one of the earrings shows some minor wear on the lips and eyes but aside from that these earrings are in excellent condition. They measure approximately 1" X 1 1/2" and are marked "Japan" on the back of the clips. And remember...two heads are better than one!

"Fear is when the monsters under your bed are out to get you and you know it, but your mommy and daddy don't believe you."I thanked him and kept going. Next, I asked an old woman."What is fear?"The old woman looked sad. "Fear is the feeling of death creeping up on you and you knowing it is impossible to stop. Fear is being helpless to stop it.

Cargo (or freight) is goods or produce transported, generally for commercial gain, by ship, aircraft, intermodal train, van, or truck. In modern times, containers are used in most intermodal freight transport.
Air cargo, commonly known as air freight, is collected by firms from shippers and delivered to customers. Aircraft were first used for carrying mail as cargo in 1911. Eventually, manufacturers started designing aircraft for other types of freight as well. There are many commercial aircraft suitable for carrying cargo such as the Boeing 747 and the bigger An-124, which was purposely built for easy conversion into a cargo aircraft. Such large aircraft employ quick-loading containers known as "unit load devices (ULDs)", much like containerized cargo ships. The ULDs are located in front section of the aircraft. Most nations own and utilize large numbers of cargo aircraft, such as the C-17 Globemaster III, for their logistical needs.
Trains are capable of transporting large numbers of containers that come from shipping ports. Trains are also used for the transportation of steel, wood, and coal. They are used because they can carry a large amount and, generally, have a direct route to the destination. Under the right circumstances, freight transport by rail is more economical and energy efficient than by road, especially when carried in bulk or over long distances. The main disadvantage of rail freight is its lack of flexibility. For this reason, rail has lost much of the freight business to road transport. Rail freight is often subject to trans-shipment costs, since it must be transferred from one mode of transportation to another. Practices, such as containerization, aim at minimizing these costs. Many governments are currently trying to encourage shippers to use trains more often because of the environmental benefits. Many firms, such as Parcelforce, FedEx, R+L Carriers, and U-Haul, transport all types of cargo by road. Delivering everything from letters to houses to cargo containers, these firms offer fast, sometimes same-day, delivery. A good example of road cargo is food, as supermarkets require deliveries every day to keep their shelves stocked with goods. Retailers of all kinds rely upon delivery trucks, be they full-size, semi trucks or smaller delivery vans.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LSCSW
"I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples the same. My passion is helping young children because I feel they deserve a voice and are so often not given one.

Empowering clients is what I enjoy most about my chosen profession.

""I believe that people can find themselves in situations they did not anticipate, did not want, and they do not know exactly how to cleanly resolve. I also believe that each person makes the best choice they can every time using the information they possess which is based on their past life experiences, their current perspective on life, their current thought processes, and the environment that surrounds and influences them. My unique education, life experiences, and approach to life allow me to offer a different perspective so that I can support and aid others in resolving their difficulties in life."

Whatever is causing your pain, I would like to help. Eventually all of us are hit by one of life's adversities. I know there aren't many things quite as vulnerable as talking to a therapist and revealing your painful secrets.

How can I tell if a therapist is right for me? Therapists in Wichita have broad skills and are able to work with a wide range of issues. For example, if you're seeking a marriage counselor in Wichita you'll find that most therapists are trained in marriage counseling or couples counseling in Wichita and couples therapy. And they welcome families for family counseling in Wichita or family therapy in Wichita. |
What method of therapy is right for me? When it comes to treatment methods, there's no "right way". A couples counselor or a family counselor may use different treatment methods depending on the one that works best for you. |
How to use my insurance? Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist. |

I wish someone would tell me whats going to happen to these mREITS when the Fed starts raising interest raates?
Sentiment: Hold
I'm sure that most mreits can make money when interest rates go up, if they are prepared with enough cash to buy new paper. It's in the spread. The PPS may go down because of short term players, which should be a good buy in point. Right now there is a large interest spread, which will show in 2 quarters..

Sullivan's Dish is done
I wasn't sure I wanted to post on Andrew Sullivan's announced retirement from blogging until it became clear whether the Daily Dish would go on without him. Today the answer came: It won't. Sullivan this morning announced that Friday will be the Dish's last day.
There's been a number of encomia to Sullivan and his blog written since last week. His announcement has also elicited critiques and rehashes of previous critiques on his writing career (going back decades) and his editorial decision-making. It's ground worth covering but also well-covered and won't get more coverage in this post – though there may be some who have a thing or two to say.
I came around to regular reading of Sullivan's blog about the time he was rethinking his position on the war in Iraq. Hard to say exactly what it was that made his site the first one I checked every day, or the one I soon began to check most often. But I do recall finding his site much less shrill (believe it or not) and somewhat more reasoned than those then breaking through on the left-leaning side of the blogosphere. (I'd count Matthew Yglesias as another who at the time was reliably providing a safe place of sensible commentary.) I liked that he posted on a range of serious matters and a number of others that were less so. I liked how he said what he had to say on same-sex marriage, torture, Abu Ghraib, and Dick Cheney, Michael Moore, and the Clintons. I was willing to give him even more leeway on his obsession with the story of Trig Palin's birth and the woman who could have been vice president. I thought he captured and in some ways reflected what at the time was being characterized as the Obama phenomenon. I was also interested in his public Catholicism, and in his public hashing out of where his pronouncements and positions might put him in opposition to its tenets or most vocal adherents, or in line with them.
Read moreHappy Birthday Facebook
On Facebook this morning I learned today is Facebook's eleventh birthday. In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg and his college buddies (one of whom now owns the new New Republic, which, according to Mollie is having a good, and also retrospective, week) began one of the world's first social networking sites. The idea was to help those on their way to college see who their classmates would be before they got there. Formerly [thefacebook], it was an exclusive website: you'd only be able to apply with a .edu email address. In my high school it was a rite of passage: you got into college, you got to be "on Facebook."
Then in 2005, when I was 16, it opened to "non-college networks," and those included high schools. At first it wasn't popular to join. Only the "online nerds" did, just because they could. I remember all the girls on my cross country team decided we each wouldn't join until we got a .edu email address, to preserve the "tradition." If someone joined before that we'd say they "sold out." By senior year, we each had our own profile page. There are photo albums of cross country races we uploaded to share with each other still available on Facebook today.
In 2006, when anyone with a valid e-mail address could use Facebook, it was an encroachment on a private internet world populated by the curated identities of teenagers—an invasion of you and your friends. The prospect of Mom and Dad seeing the person you were "online," the pictures you post (or pictures posted of you), the music you said you liked, the words you used in your comments...this was horrifying. The combination of Mom, Google, and Facebook…you didn't have time to answer all of those questions. You didn't want her "in your business": in your journal, in your room, in your backpack, and on your Facebook.
Read moreAccidental Armaggedon
"In the event of a nuclear attack, which of these items would be the most helpful? Rank them in order of importance."
This was one of the first worksheets I remember from elementary school. There were about twenty illustrated items. My classmates and I were perplexed. Sure, we had probably watched a filmstrip that mentioned the Geiger Counter, but none of us could remember what it did. And why would we want a broom? Would we be that concerned with the tidiness of our fallout shelter?
IT WAS ABOUT 1983. That same year, the Russians shot down a Korean civilian airliner over the Sea of Japan; the U.S. Catholic Bishops issued a lengthy warning about the buildup of nuclear weapons; and on September 26, a Soviet Lieutenant Colonel secretly saved the world from accidental Armaggedon. But more about Stanislav Petrov later.
Growing up in the early 1980's, not far from North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) and the Air Force Academy, the Cold War was a hot topic – even for kids. Popular videos on the burgeoning MTV network, such as Genesis' "Land of Confusion," satirized and lamented the possibility of nuclear annihilation. Dads took their sons to see "Top Gun" in theaters, and we cheered when Russian MIGs were splashed in the ocean. "Red Dawn" was always checked out of the video store. One of my favorite books, still there in my parents' house, was titled "Great Warplanes of the 1980's."
KIDS TODAY don't have the same fears. They don't know that the broom is to sweep nuclear fallout off your friends.
The globally-aware college students that I teach don't think about nuclear annihilation. Environmental degradation? Yes. Terrorism? Yes. Economic inequality? Yes. Racial injustice? Absolutely. But if they think about nuclear weapons at all, it's in the context of who might acquire them – namely, North Korea or Iran. The notion that the arsenals of the already nuclear-armed states should be at the center of moral concern seems outdated, like referring to music videos being shown on MTV.
The fact is, the nuclear capabilities that already exist have grown in power beyond human comprehension, and there have been enough "close calls" regarding their deployment to warrant the gravest of fears. In recent years, many influential voices have made the case that – regardless of whether nuclear weapons ever made us more safe – they certainly no longer do so.

Fethullah Gülen on Islam, democracy and freedom of speech
Publishing a book in 2009 about Francis of Assisi's peaceful encounter with Egypt's Sultan Malik al-Kamil during the Fifth Crusade led me to meet a lot of people with an interest in improving interreligious relations. Among them were a number of Turkish immigrants who are followers of the Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen. I observed that through a network of private schools, foundations and media organizations, they have worked very hard to improve Muslim-Christian relations.
I offer that as a brief backdrop to an important op-ed piece in The New York Times in which the reclusive Gülen, living in exile in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, speaks out forcefully against the increasingly harsh nature of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rule. He writes:
Turkey's rulers have not only alienated the West, they are also now losing credibility in the Middle East. Turkey's ability to assert positive influence in the region depends not only on its economy but also on the health of its own democracy.
The core tenets of a functioning democracy — the rule of law, respect for individual freedoms — are also the most basic of Islamic values bestowed upon us by God. No political or religious leader has the authority to take them away ... Speaking against oppression is a democratic right, a civic duty and for believers, a religious obligation. The Quran makes clear that people should not remain silent in the face of injustice: "O you who believe! Be upholders and standard-bearers of justice, bearing witness to the truth for God's sake, even though it be against your own selves, or parents or kindred."
It's an interesting piece in which Gülen invokes Islam in defense of free speech. That value has been under attack in Turkey, where Erdogan's government has been arresting, smearing and intimidating journalists. Gülen may not have the power of a state behind him, but he has the power of an idea.
The New Republic positions itself for the future by looking at its past
It's still hard to know where the project will end up, or how much of the old New Republic will live on in it, but it must be said that the new New Republic has been having a very good week.
First there's the excellent cover story, by Jeet Heer, in the magazine's new issue -- its first since the December 2014 conflagration that was much discussed here and elsewhere.
The initial cries of outrage over owner Chris Hughes's determination to make the storied journal over into a "vertically integrated digital media company," which took the form of mournful (and well-deserved) encomia for the best of TNR's long history and the best work of its recently departed big names, were followed by more ambivalent reactions to the apparent death of the old TNR that focused on that magazine's spotty history of opining on matters of race and foreign policy as well as its occasional dramatic journalistic lapses (Stephen Glass, Betsy McCaughey...).
Now, the magazine relaunches, so to speak, with a cover story examining "The New Republic's Legacy on Race." It's a canny bit of public-relations positioning, to be sure; it lends some after-the-fact integrity to Hughes's decision to remake the magazine root and branch (if you're willing to assume the decimation of his staff was part of the plan all along). But it's also a very good article in its own right. Heer, a historian, does not simply recall the lowlights of the Peretz era or rehash the controversy over then-editor Andrew Sullivan's decision to publish an excerpt from Charles Murray's The Bell Curve. He goes back to the magazine's founding, in 1914, to trace its successes as well as its failures over the last century. "At its best moments," he writes, "the magazine has been a beacon of fact-based reporting and a forum for rich debate over racial issues. At its worst, the magazine has fallen under the sway of racial theorizing and crackpot racial lore."

Missing a Vocabulary of the Moral Middle
Finally free of the imperative of manuscript editing, I actually am reading. Nicholas Carr's new book, The Glass Cage, is a worthy sequel to The Shallows. The earlier book was a brilliant telling of the neuroscience of our brains in using the internet…. As opposed to, say, reading. (yes, this is a blog post, blah blah…) The current book is an exploration of the automation of processes of all sorts, from factory processes to self-driving cars to decision-support software employed by doctors and lawyers.
Carr's books are attractive because he avoids turning them into a polemic on one side or the other of these questions. He doesn't think automation is inherently bad (Frankenstein) or inherently good (the techno-futurists); indeed, he gives a nice history which shows that excitement about machines and anxiety about them have gone hand in hand from their inception. His books are really more about understanding something thoroughly.
But with two lessons. One, Carr is adept at noting how "this time it's different." In The Shallows, he persuasively makes the case that the internet is not just another in a string of "media" advances, from writing to the printing press to the telegraph to the radio. The combination of the actual processes (and limits) involved in use and the physical capacities (and limits) of the human person shape what a given media technology can mean and be for us. The internet combines a pace of extraordinarily rapid inflow and a virtually-unlimited storage capacity. This differs from reading. In The Glass Cage, he is out to show that the current wave of automation is different because of its capacity to mimic not just human physical processes, but human thought processes. One of the key claims of the book is that the ability to mimic processes is not the same as replicating the processes themselves – Watson doesn't answer a Jeopardy question the same way a human does, nor does "Doctor Algorithm" go about diagnoses in the same way a doctor does. In some ways, the ability to process massive amounts of data via algorithms and probabilities is great; in other ways, it is very different from human thought and action, and introduces a different set of "errors."

In the latest issue of The New York Review of Books, Eamon Duffy creates a portrait of Pope Francis by reviewing three recent books on the pope: The Great Reformer: Francis and the Making of a Radical Pope by Austen Ivereigh, A Big Heart Open to God: A Conversation with Pope Francis by Antonio Spadaro, SJ, and Pope Francis: Untying the Knots by Paul Vallely. After reading Duffy's "Who Is Pope Francis?", take a look at our review of Ivereigh's The Great Reformer from our latest issue.
Today Obama will announce his proposals for the federal budget in 2016, and the Washington Post's Federal Eye blog tells us what we should expect. CNN explains how the 10-year plan attempts to help the middle-class. The Boston Globe addresses GOP resistance to Obama's approach to addressing income inequality.
Read moreMental Loops
The vivid expression "earworm" suggests a voice, perhaps a song, or some phrase or fragment, that plays unwanted in a continuous mental loop. Subliminal sometimes it may be, but persistent, even distracting, as we might wish to concentrate all our attention on a problem or text. I think that times of stress brings the voice on. I have heard inside my head my voice audibly repeating the short prayers that the nuns in grade school would unselfconsciously tell us were "ejaculations." Those moments when anxiety threatens to screech its nails down fearful chalk boards – then I am likely to repeat as litany Domine adjuvanda me festina.
I have lately been reading through three of Philip Roth's novels from the eighties and nineties, The Counterlife, American Pastoral, and I Married a Communist. Each has its striking virtuosity of voice and of perception. The energy of the prose and dynamism of the plotting and the voices (heteroglossia of the first order) can sweep a reader along. I had to stop, however, over a passage near the conclusion of I Married a Communist. The chief narrator Murray records experiencing an ear-worm like obsession in a moment of great anxiety. Murray has just left his brother Ira in his rustic shack in Pennsylvania. Ira is despondent, angry, homicidal. Murray knows how violent Ira can be, and he fears that his brother will soon attempt to kill his estranged wife. On the drive back to his home, unconvinced that he has dissuaded his brother despite taking his knives and pistol, Murray recounts his inner turmoil. He maintains his stability, more or less, by repeating a quotation from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. They are Feste's words at the conclusion of the play: "And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges." Now you must know that Murray is an English teacher and an acutely sensitive reader. He is relating this experience to Nathan Zuckerman, his former student and now an accomplished novelist. Murray considers what his mind was doing with Feste's words.
Read moreSuperbowl Sunday reminder: Football is bad for you.
In a recent episode of HBO's Real Sports, Bryant Gumbel spoke with several members of the 1985 Chicago Bears, whose historically dominant season ended with a devastating rout of the New England Patriots. If you lived in Chicago during their reign, or really anywhere near a television or radio, there was no escaping the '85 Bears. There was "The Superbowl Shuffle"--predicting a national championship halfway through the season (to the chagrin of several members of the team). There was the cover of Time magazine. There were the TV spots. The inevitable SNL sketch. They were superstars.
But some of that light has dimmed in recent years. Former quarterback Jim McMahon now experiences extended periods of depression, and has struggled with suicidal thoughts for years. He has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Nearly half of McMahon's teammates are now suing the National Football League for the injuries they've suffered playing the game. William "The Refrigerator" Perry can hardly walk. Keith Van Horne claims that the team medical staff concealed--with the aid of generous distribution of pain meds--the fact that he was playing on a broken leg. Wilber Marshall is on disability. Richard Dent describes himself as "very damaged goods." At the age of fifty, Dave Duerson shot himself in the heart so that his brain could be donated to the NFL brain bank. His son found his suicide note, instructing the family to have his brain studied.
Near the end of the piece, Gumbel asks former Bears head coach Mike Ditka whether player injuries will be the cross on which the NFL is nailed. "Let me ask you a question better than that," the coach replies. "If you had an eight-year-old kid now, would you tell him that you wanted him to play football?" I wouldn't, Gumbel says, would you? "No, I wouldn't. That's sad. My whole life was football. I think the risk is worse than the reward."
I'm going to watch the big game tonight, just as I do every year. I'll drink beer and eat wings. I'll laugh at the good commercials and mock the bad ones. But every time players knock heads, or the game is stopped for an injury, I'm going to think about this Real Sports piece. I'll recall Mike Ditka, revered by millions as a god of football, looking out into the middle distance and admitting that playing the game just isn't worth the risk. And I'll wonder whether the same could be said about watching it.
White Smoke over Montecitorio
Almost two years ago a deadlocked and faction-riven Italian Parliament failed to elect a new President upon the completion of Giorgio Napolitano's seven year mandate. The highly respected Napolitano, a former member of Italy's Communist Party, was prevailed upon to extend his term. He finally stepped down in January citing age and increasing fraility, in a manner reminiscent of Benedict XVI with whom he had had warm relations.
Today, adroitly directed by the energetic young Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, the "Grand Electors" elected as new President the former Christian Democrat, Sergio Mattarella.
Here is a report by Kay Wallace who writes an English blog for La Repubblica:
Born in Palermo in 1941, Sergio Mattarella comes from a prominent Sicilian family; his father Bernardo was one of the founders of the Christian Democrat (DC) party that dominated the Italian political scene for half a century. His brother, Piersanti became Governor of Sicily in 1978 with a campaign to clean up the DC and rid it of its close ties with Cosa Nostra. He was gunned down in his car by the Sicilian Mafia in 1980. There is photograph that shows him being pulled out of the car, still alive, by his brother Sergio.
Mattarella is a centrist politician who has held several ministerial posts in governments of different political stripes. In 1990 he resigned from his post as Education Minister in protest at the Mammì media law, a bill that effectively legalised Berlusconi's TV empire. In 1993 he drafted the electoral law in force from 1994 and 2001, the Mattarellum. Later as Defence Minister he oversaw the abolition of conscription. He was nominated to the Constitutional Court in 2011.
Wallace concludes:
There were two big winners: Sergio Mattarella and Matteo Renzi. By imposing his will on parliament and his party, Renzi showed just how able a politician he is. After the embarrassing farce of the last attempted presidential election, it was also a good day for Italy.
100 Years of Thomas Merton
If it weren't for his premature death in 1968, Thomas Merton would turn 100 years old this January 31. Fortunately for us, his legacy and wisdom continue to influence each new generation through the prolific corpus of spiritual writing he left.
I suspect Merton is one of the most well-known and beloved figures in recent American history. But for those of you who might be unfamiliar, he was an ivy-league nihilist turned Trappist monk, mystic, writer, poet, and activist, who spent his days at an abbey in Gethsemani, Kentucky.
Most people I know have read or heard of his spiritual autobiography The Seven Storey Mountain, which he wrote at age 31 and which sold over 600,000 copies (a feat for any spiritual autobiography, then and now). He went on to write over 70 works.
I finally got around to reading The Seven Storey Mountain two and half years ago—an especially opportune time to begin, since I realized I would be exploring some of the same places he visited in his text: Rome, New York City, Columbia University, Corpus Christi parish, and the neighborhood of Morningside Heights in general. I found it thrilling to read Merton's discovery of these places as I simultaneously experienced them for the first time. There were several layers: there was my experience of Rome, and the experience of reading Merton's experience of Rome, and then discovering Merton's discovery of himself and God in Rome—or New York, or Corpus Christi, for that matter—all while I discovered him, through his self-portrait in the text.
It's predictable, maybe even trite (in the best possible way) to discover that yet another person's conversion transpired in part while reading his compelling, sometimes pious, and always achingly human books. His impact is warranted: he has a way of making grace, faith, sainthood, and ancient traditions accessible—and more importantly, attractive—to a modern sensibility.
In honor of the centennial of Merton's arrival on earth, here are ways you can celebrate:
You could stop by your local Catholic Church and do some contemplative exercises. If you're in NYC, visit the church in which he was baptized Roman Catholic—Corpus Christi parish in Morningside Heights, where a lecture will be held to commemorate his legacy (including longtime contributor and friend of Commonweal Lawrence Cunningham as one of the panelists!). In the spirit of his activism, you could rally or pray for peace; you could also read his 1966 essay on the roots of Christian non-violence. Or strike up a conversation with someone from an altogether different religious tradition and discover common ground. You could watch Merton's last lecture (see below) at a conference in Bangkok.
In addition to praying for his canonization (wouldn't Saint sound so nice in front of his name?), I think I'll try to attend this exhibit at Columbia University featuring photographs from a camera Merton carried throughout his time at the monastery. It would suffice, however, to simply revisit his famous (and perfectly mortal) prayer:
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. (From Thoughts in Solitude)
Happy 100 years, Thomas Merton.
Archbishop Romero, martyrdom, and ecumenism
Pope Francis, early on, unblocked the cause for the canonization of Archbishop Oscar Romero, and it has recently been reported that theologians in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith concluded unanimously that he is rightly regarded as a martyr for the faith. The Romero Trust in Great Britain has a website devoted to the archbishop which provides English translations of his homilies, pastoral letters, and other works, produces a twice-yearly newsletter, and sponsors an annual lecture about him. The 2013 speaker was Fr. Timothy Radcliffe, O.P., and this past December the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, entitled his lecture: "A saint for the whole people of God: Oscar Romero and the ecumenical future." Describing Romero as " one of the great gifts of God to the whole people of God in the last few decades; one whose witness and teaching is a legacy for Christians everywhere," Williams gave a moving description of the passion for the poor that drove Romero before asking what his life, and death, might have to say about the future of ecumenism. It reminded me of the "ecumenism of martyrdom" of which Pope Francis recently spoke and was a frequent theme of Pope John Paul II before him, particularly in his encyclical "Ut unum sint."
Some excerpts from Williams' lecture:
He poses a deeply troubling and challenging question about ecumenism: can we see our vision of unity afresh in the context of being united with Christ as he understands it? Do we seek not just the unity of the churches, some kind of fusion of various kinds of institutional life, or unity with Christ?
The ecumenical vision feels and sounds remarkably different if we begin by saying what we pray for and hope for is to be united with Jesus Christ. And through that, and in that, to be united with one another. And to be united with Christ in Christ's proclamation and embodiment of good news for the poor. Of course, you can misunderstand this. You might think, for example, that ecumenism understood in this light meant that churches ought to assemble around social and political projects, rather than doctrinal formulae. But that's just replacing one kind of formality with another. ...
... I regard Monseñor Romero not just as a teacher and a martyr who witnesses to justice for the poor, but as a teacher who has something crucial, life-giving, vital to say to us about what and who we are as a Church, as churches seeking to be more fully united. And the question he puts to us is, if we are only truly united when we are more deeply united with Christ, then there is a simple place to start on our path to unity, and that is learning to be united with the cry, and the need, and the agenda of those who are most at risk, and where appropriate to go and to share that risk.
None of this is meant to suggest that we simply dismantle all our interests and concerns in doctrine, and sacrament, and discipline, and simply go and look for good causes to support together. For, you see, none of this would make any sense whatsoever, unless our doctrinal and sacramental commitments were what they are. The Christ who is there with and in the poor is not just an impressive human teacher, but the incarnate Son of God, the Lord Almighty, clothing himself in our poverty, so that we may be clothed with his divine richness. Unless we believe that, none of this business about being united with him in the poor would make any sense whatever. And if Jesus Christ were just a great and interesting good man, then the Eucharist would be meaningless, except as a faintly melancholy commemoration of one of the innumerable tragedies of history, where great and impressive men tend to get killed unpleasantly.
The Eucharist, as the place where the very life of the incarnate Son of God is given to us, the Eucharist is the place where our responsibility for one another is renewed and deepened, and set on new foundations. That again is what makes sense of the commitments we take into our commitments in the world. These commitments are the ground of the whole vision, and they matter theologically precisely because they are what grounds and inspires the vision of solidarity with the poor.
Mike Huckabee, bard of 'Bubba-ville'
"It is trying on liberals in Dilton," reads the first line of Flannery O'Connor's story "The Barber," which could with tweaking aptly apply to the unfolding 2016 presidential campaign season for those maybe uninclined to vote for one of the score or so of potential Republican candidates. The GOP's field of declared and undeclared are riding the usual hobby horses--Obamacare, "big government," Obamacare, public schools, moral collapse, Obamacare—with some already honing their grievances into slogans, sound bites, and hashtags. Does "Bubble-ville vs. Bubba-ville" work for you?
Best-selling author Mike Huckabee thinks it will. Well, maybe not for you, but hopefully for the fractious choir he's preaching to with his newest book, God, Guns, Grits and Gravy. "Bubble-ville" describes the population of Americans associated with the iniquitous and elite "nerve centers" of Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C.; "Bubba-ville," everywhere else—"the flyover country" that "more often than not votes red instead of blue, roots for the Cowboys in the NFL and the Cardinals in the National League, and has three or more bibles in every house." (The characterization invites debate, but, to use a construction for which Huckabee shows fondness: I digress.)
GGG&G, in short, makes use of a simple construct to capitalize on resentments by reaffirming the preconceptions and prejudices of its intended audience. Neither polemic nor screed, it's mainly a book-length unspooling of commentary that's also needlessly broken into chapters, though if it weren't, then readers would be deprived of nominally edifying (if not necessarily organizing) headings like "The New American Outcasts: People Who Put Faith and Family First" and "Bend Over and Take It Like a Prisoner!" (this following one bemoaning "The Culture of Crude"). His musings are at times entertainingly wrought. In places he risks naughty ethno-religious offense: "I can see the look of horror on the faces of friends of mine who have spent their lives in New York City when I talk about owning a wide variety of firearms: It's the look one would get announcing in a synagogue that one owns a bacon factory" (it's an image he uses more than once). In places he's more plainly insulting, as when contending that Beyoncé is unwittingly allowing herself to be pimped out by her husband, Jay-Z. Sometimes he's hilarious:
Read moreAnimal Ethics--Next Questions
Thanks to everyone for commenting on the post "The Status of Animals" below I was about to try to focus the question, but Jean Raber has already brilliantly and incisively done the work. So I am reposting her comment as the focus for a new thread:
I'd like to see less heat and snark in this discussion and more people addressing what I see as these larger emerging questions:
1. Do some humans love animals to a degree that leads to unChristian behavior (e.g., "adopting animal children" instead of fulfilling an obligation to propogate their own species)? Is there such a thing as a sinful "disordered love" for animals? How does such "disordered love" manifest itself?
2. To what extent (if any) does caring for animals (pets, wild animals, farm animals) enhance our love of God and spiritual growth as Christians?
3. To what extent ought Christians' personal feelings about animals guide their treatment of animals? Beyond local animal cruelty laws, is there Church teaching that guides proper treatment of animal life?
4. Should Christians apply different ethical rules to different classes of animals (e.g., wild animals, pets, farm animals, vermin and insect pests)?
5. Should scientific studies suggesting that animals have emotions and problem-solving intelligence be factored into the proper Christian treatment of animals?
Amen, Jean. What do you all think the answers to these questions should be?
Yale Police and the Threat of Lethal Force
Last Saturday, a member of the Yale Police pulled a gun on a young student for matching a description of a thief in the area. That student happened to be the son of New York Times columnist Charles Blow, who wrote about the incident with justifiable anger and fear.
The incident drew significant attention, and in a statement made Monday night, Peter Salovey, President of Yale; Jonathan Holloway, the Dean of Yale College; and Yale's Chief of Police Ronnell Higgins, addressed what happened and referred to its implications. It begins:
"The Yale Police Department's response to a crime in progress on Saturday evening has generated substantial and critical conversations on campus and beyond. A Yale police officer detained an African American Yale College student who was in the vicinity of a reported crime, and who closely matched the physical description—including items of clothing—of the suspect. The actual suspect was found and arrested a short distance away."
Salovey, Holloway, and Higgins also wanted to quell comparisons to incidents in recent memory:
"What happened on Cross Campus on Saturday is not a replay of what happened in Ferguson; Staten Island; Cleveland; or so many other places in our time and over time in the United States. The officer, who himself is African American, was responding to a specific description relayed by individuals who had reported a crime in progress."
The message is accurate that what happened "is not a replay" in that the officer did not apply lethal force. But in drawing his gun, the officer threatened to use it in a situation that did not warrant it. Why? The email says that a thorough internal investigation will take place to answer that very question.
Read moreThe Weal's First Writing Workshop (with photos!)
Readers of dotCommonweal, especially young readers who live near New York City, might be interested to know that this past Saturday The Weal hosted its first writing workshop at the New York Public Library. The workshop focused on "writing online" and was led by digital editor Dominic Preziosi.
We were a motley (and so very "Commonweal") crew: folks from Keystone Catholics, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, NETWORK, Yale Divinity School; social workers, public health and justice department advocates; and two guys from Jersey—one who works as an economic research analyst and the other at an education publishing company—whose own blog is known to be a reasonably moderate take on "American politics and economic policy, Millennial culture, the Catholic Church, and the intersection of any subset thereof." We're fans.
The afternoon consisted of reading, writing, listening, and asking questions. Dominic spoke from years of experience and gave us practical tips: how to link, attribute information, and update a post with new information, among other things. We read different kinds of online writing (including Cathy Kaveny's "How about NOT Firing Her?" post from last February) and dissected examples of various types*: recaps, takes, reflections, reviews, thought pieces, analyses, etc. We discussed ways to build confidence in our writing and to look beyond and rise above the noisy, kitschy, competitive, social media atmosphere we spend too much time scrolling through. We learned to ask "what do I know?" and "why does my audience need to know what I know at this point in time?"
So, what do you need to know? The Weal's first writing workshop was a success, and we're eager to host our next. Stay tuned.

The status of animals
This is Molly Kaveny. She is a two-year-old labradoodle who lives in the house I grew up in, with my parents and sister—about an hour away from my house now.
Over the past several months, I have been increasingly convinced that Mollyis a person—a non-human person, but a person nonetheless. She has emotions. She has moods. She has reason, and will. She has goals—and she pursues them with astonishing success.
This picture offers an example. I had come home for a weekend visit. Wandering into the bedroom, Molly nuzzled into my partially zipped suitcase, and removed a pair of (clean) stockings. She then padded into the den, and over to me, rightly figuring that of the five or six people in the room, I would have the most interest in them. She is presenting me with a choice: Either I can chase her round and round the chair, as in a crazy cartoon sequence, or I can ransom the stockings immediately with a treat. Either way, from Molly's perspective, it is all good.
Read moreKoched up.
In the fall of 2013, the Catholic University of America announced a $1 million pledge from the Koch Foundation, one of the many not-for-profit outfits with strong ties to the billionaire libertarians David and Charles Koch. The money, according to the university, would go to the business school, allowing it to hire professors and offer a course on "principled entrepreneurship." You may remember the Kochs from their charitable efforts to undermine public-employee unions, to support a campaign against renewable-energy standards, to suppress the vote, or to discredit the minumum wage (which the U.S. bishops want to raise).
A group of about fifty Catholic theologians certainly remembered. They sent a disapproving letter to Catholic University, voicing their concern that by accepting the grant, the university was sending "a confusing message to Catholic students and other faithful Catholics that the Koch brothers' anti-government, Tea Party ideology has the blessing of a university sanctioned by Catholic bishops." But university president John Garvey and business-school dean Andrew Abela remained unmoved. They replied by pointing out that several of the professors cash paychecks from universities that accept Koch money, and accused them of trying to "score political points."
If any of those theologians were clinging to the hope that, given enough time, Garvey and Abela might come around to the idea that there's something odd about a Catholic business school accepting money from people who are so deeply committed shrinking the social safety net, cutting taxes, weakening environental regulations, ending the minimum wage, and busting unions, they can let go now. Because Catholic University's business school recently accepted another $1.75 million pledge from the Charles Koch Foundation (in addittion to $1.25 million from other donors).

Kristen is known as one of the most gorgeous actresses in Hollywood, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer Patti Smith, doesn't think so! Are you totally shocked?
Kristen Stewart is not the fairest of them all, according to a new interview given by Patti Smith. The singer says that although Kristen is special, she's not exactly beautiful.
"I remember the very first time I saw Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson together, when they were younger, and I thought, 'Those two kids could have easily played us when they were first starting,'" she said. "There's something in his eyes. And Robert [Mapplethorpe] was also a bit shy, and a bit stoic. Kristen has a very special quality. She's not conventionally beautiful, but very charismatic."
Do you think it's wrong for Kristen to be labeled like this by Patti? We think Kristen is stunning and we bet Robert Pattinson does too!

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo no es una belleza convensional, es una mujer mas bien sin una belleza, la mercadotecnia esta forzando a los seguidores a aceptar algo que no tiene, no es y no sera, ademas el dicho dice por sus actos querras a los demas y ella ha tenido actos lamentable muy desafortunados que me han lastimado como seguidora, asi que para mi es mas bien una mujer fea.
Just a guy...

I'm just a guy talking…but I think that Kristen is very pretty. More importantly, she's very charismatic: One is drawn to her. There's something about Kristen…a certain "it" quality that makes grown movie producers want to give her $34.5M to be in their movie.
She's a triple threat: Young, pretty, talented.
Posted at 9:55 PM on October 13, 2012
Kristen is pretty but not beautiful. Beautiful in my opinion is Marilyn Monroe, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Lilly Collins, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Taylor back in the day, Anna Nicole Smith and Pamela Anderson when she was on Baywatch. Kristen does have a very good make up artist though cause I've seen her around Los Angeles, and it was nothing exciting to look at.
Posted at 11:33 PM on October 13, 2012
Angelina Jolie-Yuck!! she looks anorexic all the time and "always" has a sour puss on her face. Brad Pitt looks just miserable being married to her.
Kristen is naturally beautiful she does not need any make up or fancy clothes to be sexy, sultry, edgy, she's not fake like the others on your list, that are loaded full of makeup and fake boobs.
She's got a super body, long legs that go on forever!! Kristen will be a big hit in the movie On The Road, she gets to show some skin of her hot body!

This is coming from witchy woman or man. Is that a man or a woman pictured above? Kristen Stewart is beautiful. She has a unique look to her that shows natural beauty not the kind you get from makeup and fancy clothes. She looks just as good without makeup as she does with it but when she is made up she is as sexy as any woman in HW. How many women can you say have a natural glowing look about them without makeup. Her skin is porcilian. She reminds me of a very young Elizabeth Taylor. She can look sexy and sophisticated when decked out and the girl next door tomboy who is beautiful when she is dressed down. She has a unique beauty I have never seen on any other woman.

I think Kristen has got a special kind of beauty….She´s small framed, has got that beautiful long hair, mysterious green eyes…She can be vulnerable and feminine, by being small and at the same time has got this wild, mysterious way which all combined cause her to be exquisetely captivating and charismatic.

Apple drags on S&P, Nasdaq; Dell jumps after report
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended lower on Monday as worries over demand for Apple products drove down its shares and investors braced for earnings disappointments.
Running counter to that was Dell Inc's DELL.O stock which jumped 13 percent to about a five-month high at $12.29 after Bloomberg reported the No. 3 personal computer maker is in talks with private equity firms to go private. Dell's gains offset some tech-sector weakness.
Tech heavyweight Apple (AAPL.O) lost 3.6 percent to $501.75 and was the biggest weight on both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 .NDX indexes after reports the company has cut orders for LCD screens and other parts for the iPhone 5 this quarter due to weak demand. The stock hit a session low of $498.51, the first dip below $500 since February 16.
"With Apple, it seems as if the sentiment has shifted from this being the one stock that everybody wanted to own to people beginning to look at it as a company (whose) business is slowing down somewhat," said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer of North Star Investment Management Corp in Chicago.
Adding to investor unease, fourth-quarter earnings kick into high gear this week. Analyst estimates for the quarter have fallen sharply since October. S&P 500 earnings growth is now seen up just 1.9 percent from a year ago, Thomson Reuters data showed.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI was up 18.89 points, or 0.14 percent, at 13,507.32. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX was down 1.37 points, or 0.09 percent, at 1,470.68. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC was down 8.13 points, or 0.26 percent, at 3,117.50.
Apple suppliers also lost ground, with Cirrus Logic (CRUS.O) off 9.4 percent at $28.62 and Qualcomm (QCOM.O) down 1 percent at $64.24.
The Dow fared better than the other two indexes, helped in part by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ.N) shares, which rose 4.9 percent to $16.95. The stock, up early in the session after JPMorgan upgraded its rating on the shares and raised its price target to $21 from $15, added to gains following the Dell report.
Tech has "become the arena for private equity or other capital-restructuring type of maneuvers because of the way their valuations and their balance sheets are," Kuby said.
Appliance and electronics retailer Hhgregg Inc (HGG.N) slumped 5.7 percent to $7.44 after the company cut its same-store sales forecast for the full year.
Earnings reports are due this week from Goldman Sachs (GS.N), Bank of America (BAC.N), Intel (INTC.O) and General Electric (GE.N), among other companies. Third-quarter reports ended with a gain of just 0.1 percent, the worst for an S&P 500 profit period in three years, according to Thomson Reuters data.
President Barack Obama warned Congress at a news conference on Monday that a refusal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling next month could mean a government shutdown and trigger economic chaos.
S&P futures had little reaction to comments after the bell by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who urged lawmakers to lift the country's borrowing limit to avoid a debt default.
Volume was roughly 5.6 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT, compared with the 2012 average daily closing volume of about 6.45 billion.
Decliners were about even with advancers on the NYSE while decliners outpaced advancers on the Nasdaq by about 12 to 11.
