Editor's note: This is a look at Friday, Nov. 15th's eight state playoff football games encompassing nine area football programs. Game-by-game breakdowns include playoff classification, East Region seeding and overall records.
4-A — No. 12 Clayton (7-4) at No. 5 Hillside (8-2), 7 p.m. — Hillside has won six straight games since dropping two in a row in mid-September (at Greensboro Dudley, the state's No. 3 ranked program 24-7, and at home against Charlotte Country Day). One-dimensional Clayton is no one's pick to end that winning streak.
The Comets have almost no passing attack. Starting quarterback Sam May has completed 37 percent of his pass attempts for 50.5 yards per game and offsets six touchdown throws with six interceptions.
But Clayton can run and run and run. Three Comet backs have at least 799 yards on their season's résumé and each is averaging at least six yards per carry. The top back is Jace Brown (987 yards, 6.06 per carry), Eric Hoy (843, 8.52) and Rodney Rowe (799, 9.86). As a team, they're runnning for 294.4 yards a game and have outscored the opposition 362-273 on the year.
Hillside has the defensive talent to shut down just about any run-first, run-only attack and shouldn't have a lot of trouble putting up points against an average defense.
In the backfield, Hillside counts on star back Donté Thomas-Williams average 8.48 yards per carry (167 for 1,416 yards) and has scored 20 touchdowns, two of them receiving.
Quarterback Nas Forté-Ferguson doesn't have to throw a lot for the Hornets to win, but his .440 passing percentage (84 of 191) needs to top 50 percent at least if the Hornets hope for a long playoff run. He has the arm to get it done and has thrown for 1,644 yards and 18 touchdowns while being picked off just twice.
His top receiver is Trevion Thompson, like Thomas-Williams a four-star college prospect on almost all the recruiting boards. Thompson can be a devastating deep threat and has caught 49 passes for 839 yards and 11 TDs.
3-AA — No. 11 Rocky Mount (8-3) at No. 6 Orange (10-1), 7 p.m. — Orange might be the enigma of this year's playoff field. The Panthers gave up 71 points — total — in their first nine games, all wins, but gave up 69 in splitting its last two of the season to tough Cardinal Gibbons (49-28 win) and Southern (55-41 loss). Still, Orange has outscored its 11 opponents 463-140 (42.1-12.7 per game) and isn't facing an offense as prolific as Gibbons or Southern tonight.
Versatile back Patrick Pettiford and quarterback Garrett Cloer, a sophomore with a big arm, give Orange offensive weapons to get the job done and Rocky Mount, which has outscored its opponents 250-206 hasn't put up a lot of points, but hasn't keeled over and died on defense, either.
Orange could learn a lot tonight. Were the Panthers as good as they appeared to be in their first nine games, especially on defense, or did the opposition finally solve that defense? If the answer is the former, Orange has a chance to meet or surpass last year's team that lost in the state semifinals and tied for third place in the 3-AA playoffs.
3-A — No. 10 Northwood (8-3) at No. 7 Mebane Eastern Alamance (8-3), 7 p.m. — In the race for the Big Eight 3-A Conference's three automatic bids, Northwood was the odd team out, finishing fourth behind Southern, Orange and Cardinal Gibbons — Northwood's only losses on the year. But the Chargers were never likely to miss the playoffs either. They had an outstanding year, led by offensive stars dual-threat quarterback Ti Pinnix (27 TDs passing, 7 rushing), running back Kadarus Rone (155 for 993 yards, 6.41 per carry, 11 TDs rushing, 5 receiving) and receiver Jalen Smith (80 catches, 1,231 yards, 16 TDs) and earned the No. 10 seed, which is about as high as they could possibly go considering automatic qualifiers are seeded before wild-card entries.
This is a team that outscored the opposition 441-312. The defensive numbers probably would've been a lot better if the Chargers hadn't run into three of the top 3-A teams in the state in their own conference.
Northwood can attack the passer — Brady Koenning has seven sacks, Hunter Blackmon six and Jay Williams, Elijah Washington and Jared Worley four each — and can tackle. The five aforementioned defensive stars have at least 50 tackles apiece, Blackmon leading with 85 and Worley next at 76.
But Eastern Alamance is no slouch. The Eagles hold a 468-185 scoring edge this season and are balanced on offense, running for 237.2 yards a game and adding 162 yards passing.
Quarterbacks Joey Lanier and John Lamont have split duties and ranked up very similar numbers, combining to complete 56.7 percent of their passes for 1,792 yards and 15 TDs. Lamont is the better runner, by a country mile, carrying 90 times for 739 yards and 14 TDs. Lanier's carries have basically been sacks — 25 carries for minus-18 yards.
Malcom Summers leads the backs with 152 carries for 965 yards and 19 TDs.
Win or lose, Northwood will be better next season. Of the players mentioned above, only Williams is a senior. The rest are all juniors.
2-AA — No. 13 Hertford County (6-5) at No. 4 South Granville (9-2), 7 p.m. — South Granville gets a break as Ahoskie-based Hertford comes to town. The Bears have been average on offense (308 points in 11 games) and on defense (278). Their attack is balanced as quarterback Ryan Weaver (95 for 194, 49 percent, 1,624 yards, 5 TDs, 11 interceptions) keys a 147.6 yards per game attack.
Hertford uses five ballcarriers to rush for 205.9 yards a night. All five have run for at least 240 yards and Tyus Leary (117 for 723, 9 TDs) leads the way.
But South Granville has a lot of answers.
The Vikings have outscored their opposition 455-219 on the year and while averaging a remarkable 297.1 yards per game rushing, also pass for 143.8.
Running back Sean Bowman leads the ground raiders with 261 carries for 2,204 yards and 21 touchdowns. Quarterback Matt McCutcheon (111 of 194, 57.2 percent, 17 TDs, 7 INTs) lends balance.
The receiving corps is led by 6-4 tight end Abraham Barron's 25 catches for 399 yards and five TDs.
3-AA — No. 15 Chapel Hill (4-7) at No. 2 Southern (9-2), 7 p.m. — These Big Eight rivals are no strangers to each other, and conference champ Southern, coming off a 59-20 win over the fifth-placeTigers in the regular season, is the prohibitive favorite. Chapel Hill has battled injuries and bad luck all year, losing a pair of home games (17-15 to Riverside, 29-28 to Carrboro) it could easily have won.
Still, the Tigers don't have the manpower to match up with the offensive juggernaut Southern projects. The Tigers have given up around 30 points a game (316 in all), while scoring 257.
Chapel Hill's offense has produced some balance. The Tigers average 172.2 yards through the air, 127.9 on the ground and have scored 15 touchdowns in each phase.
But Southern's numbers dwarf those. The Spartans average 540.1 yards total offense (279.9 passing, 259.2 rushing) and have scored 81 times this season — 50.6 points per game, actually.
Quarterback Kendall Hinton has a big arm and has passed for 2,978 yards (159 of 236), an average of 18.73 yards per completion and his TD-to-interception ration of 29 to 2 is phenomenal.
On the ground, Hinton leads a group of four with at least 464 yards rushing. He's got 784, Will Cameron is next with 674, Jordan Brown has 588 and Toney Bass 464.
Receivers Maurice Trowell (59 catches, 1,179 yards, 14 TDs) and Derrick Mason (50-909, 11 TDs) each average more than 18 yards per grab, Trowell a remarkable 19.98.
Southern's defense has been suspect at times, but with the Spartans offense clicking, it usually doesn't matter.
4-A — No. 10 Northern (3-8) at No. 7 Wilmington New Hanover (8-3), 7 p.m. — Northern had a remarkable recovery from an 0-6 start this season just to get to the playoffs with a 3-2 that landed third place in a weak PAC-6. But the Knights never pulled an upset and will be hard-pressed to stay with a New Hanover team that's outscored its opponents 357 to 192. Northern's numbers are almost an exact opposite. The Knights have scored 192 while giving up 354 and average only 154.7 yards per game (35.3 passing, 129.4 rushing) total offense.
First-year Northern coach R.J. Wilson said he's impressed with what he's seen of New Hanover's passing game, athleticism and defense.
"They's had some success throwing the ball and they run an unorthodox defense, very aggressive," Wilson said.
A Northern win tonight would be an upset for the ages, but the road playoff experience should prove a boost to the learning curve of the young Knights, whose roster was decimated by graduation a year ago and whose egos somehow survived the awful start to the 2013 season.
4-AA — No. 10 South View (8-3) at No. 7 Riverside (8-3), 7 p.m. — These teams' records are not the only mirror images fans will be looking at tonight. Like Riverside, which relies for most of its offense on 2,000-plus yard rusher Joel Evans, South View eschews the pass for the most part as well, although the Tigers do spread around the ground burden more.
Junior Jeremy Cox averages 7.71 yards a carry and has 1,211 yards on the season, including 16 touchdowns for a team that averages 267.2 yards rushing and only about 68.2 passing.
If the Tigers are going to escape with a win, it will be on the ground. South View quarterbacks have completed only .348 percent of their pass attempts (40 of 115) for 750 yards, eight interceptions and four scores.
Defensively, South View has given up 209 points while scoring 280. Riverside has scored a lot more points — 376 — but has given up more —293 — as well.
1-AA — No. 5 Granville Central (7-4) at No. 4 Princeton (8-3), 7 p.m. — Two of the state's better 1-AA teams will meet in this one. Granville Central has outscored its opponents 491-228 and Princeton likewise dominated the scoreboard 462-227.
There the comparisons end. The visiting Vikings of Stem have a balanced attack that's produced an average of 422.5 yards per game (227.6 passing, 194.9 rushing). Princeton runs the football. And runs and runs and runs. Of the Bulldogs' 437.3 yards a game, 308.2 come on the ground — 2,404 from back Johnny Frasier, who averages 11.78 yards per carry and has scored 35 TDs rushing.
The Bulldogs' Michael Wooten has had some success passing, clinging on 92 of 172 attempts for 1,420 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Granville Central's Jay Parker is hitting on .611 percent of his pass attempts (135 of 221, 2,359 yards, 29 TDs, 9 INTs). Corey Evans, a former Oxford Webb quarterback, leads the team with 149 carries for 1,086 yards on the ground, but two-way star Bryce Parrott makes the Vikings go.
In addition to playing a starring role on defense, he has 636 rushing yards and 13 TDs on 91 carries and is the second leading receiver (41 for 728, 11 TDs) as well. Dylan Beckwith has 42 catches for 811 yards and four TDs.

Saturday Night Live pokes fun at iPhone 5 complainers
The tech world has been ablaze with complaints relating to the iPhone 5 lately. Everything from Apple maps to scratched phones straight out of the box. Are we making a big deal out of nothing? Saturday Night Live seems to think so.
The folks over at Saturday Night Live aired the skit above poking fun at the editors of various large tech sites and their complaints over the iPhone 5. Enter the mock Chinese workers who listen to their complaints and have a few choice words of their own. Whether or not you think the complaints against the iPhone 5 are warranted, it's a good laugh.

Saturday Night Live pokes fun at iPhone 5 complainers
That's OK. Usually us Canadians are expected to wait for the products too. Remember when the iPhones would launch a year or so later in Canada. Heck even the Kindle Paperlight is available pretty much everywhere in the modern world except Canada. They're paying us back for Nortel.
Funny stuff!!!!
he is apparently an English major as well. "your have no sense of humor?" your have? hmm. takes balls to make fun of someone's language ability when you write like this. I'm just saying.
Um, actually, yeah, I don't mind a scratch in my car. Probably because obviously even a new car gets test driven which even if it doesn't have a scratch, is it already in wear condition regardless. And the scratch of the car isn't important to me, it's the inside. And isn't a car a poor analogy to begin with?? Why compare a $200-$400 product to something that cost $10K+.
No, I don't care about my phone getting a scratch out of the box because I have better things to worry about. I also acknowledge the fact that my phone was also made by someone who unfortunately maybe never have the privilege of owning such device. I appreciate having the privilege of owning an iPhone so the least I could do is not complain about an out of box defect. Especially one that doesn't even affect operation.
BTW, before anybody pulls out the "fanboy" card, I am in no way defending a company that could care less about any of our opinions. I just find it unbelievable to complain about a replacable materialistic object, regardless of price tag.
The point wasn't about the complainers. It was funny, but also sad. Not that any other electronic company has better labor practices, but still...
LOL! That was f-ing hilarious! Thanks for posting.
I think that pretty much says it all. I love my iPhone 5. I find that it's a significant improvement over the 4S and a step in the right direction for a phone that long ago became my mobile computer. I would happily accept a few scratches on the metal plate if it means that my device is lighter. How exactly do minor scratches on the aluminum affect functionality of the device? Anyone?
Hahahahaha...that was hilarious!!! "Hmmmm, what products does America make? Does Diabetes count as a product....then let me get back to you on that 1". I can't stop laughing...I'm so weak!
While I do feel some complaints people are having are legit, I believe many people just complain to hear themselves speak. I haven't had any issues with my device but if I did I wouldn't be whining about it. Get it replaced or fixed & keep it moving...it's just a phone!!!
BTW: I do find this video sad at the same time because Americans complain about the dumbest things...It's absolutely ridiculous!! Be grateful you have the means to live the way you do & stop complaining all the time, GEEZ
Only thing funnier than this video is watching it on an iPhone 5.
My wife has the iPhone 5 and somehow I don't get SNL having the maps complaint to the builders of the phone? It is a software not hardware problem. Yeah I know the SNL piece was humor and satire, just saying. It was funny though, especially the bugs part.

Quality Oil Company of Winston-Salem has partnered with the N.C. Triad Affiliate of Susan G Komen for the Cure by repainting one of its propane delivery trucks.
"Even though October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our local focus is 365 days, 24/7" said Diana Parrish, Executive Director of Komen N.C. Triad Affiliate "We want all who live in our 11 county service area to know that we are working every day to empower, educate and eventually eradicate breast cancer."
Members of Quality Oil hope this pink truck will garner attention and spread awareness to help in the fight against the disease every day.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in women.
"Many Quality Oil employees have been affected by breast cancer, just like thousands of families nationwide," said Graham Bennett, president of Quality Oil Company. "We are honored to be a part of this wonderful campaign that helps save lives by increasing awareness about the disease."
The truck will service the immediate Winston-Salem area, and all of its surrounding counties including Forsyth, Davie, Yadkin, Davidson, and Surry Counties. Quality Oil Company has been family owned and operated since 1929, offering fuel oil, propane, heating, and air conditioning services.
To benefit the cause, the customized pink truck was generously painted at no charge by Maaco Auto Body Shop, located on Silas Creek Parkway. The decaling was done by Speedpro Imaging on North Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge Athletic Department is excited to announce the installation of permanent lighting at Matador Soccer Field and the return of nighttime soccer to the San Fernando Valley.
Construction has been underway for the past couple weeks at the Matador Soccer Field in anticipation of the 2010 Cal State Northridge men's and women's home soccer seasons.
The project is now complete and all the light poles at both the soccer field and the adjoining field are in place.
"The installation of lights at Matador Field will allow our teams to compete with the nation's very best in collegiate soccer," CSUN Athletics Director Rick Mazzuto said. "It's an enhancement which will elevate our program in terms of recruiting and our ability to share outstanding soccer in the San Fernando Valley community."
In 2010, the Matador men's soccer team will host three teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2009. The CSUN women's team will host two teams that qualified for the NCAA's last year.
The first game to introduce the lights to Matador fans and the community will take place on Sunday, Aug. 22 when the Matador women's team hosts the University of Portland at 7 p.m. The Pilots have won two NCAA championships and have qualified for the NCAA Tournament 17 of the past 18 seasons.
The Matadors and Pilots will meet for "Sunday Night Lights" as the CSUN Athletic Department has a number of marketing and promotional activities planned for the match.
"Playing under the lights, in front of the home crowd and family, is going to create a great atmosphere and is a large reason why these student-athletes compete in intercollegiate athletics," CSUN women's soccer head coach Keith West said. "I believe these lights will put us on a new level, giving us the opportunity to showcase to the fans, school and community what we're all about."
In fact, seven of the women's nine home matches in 2010 will start at 5 p.m. (pacific time) or later. Those games are as follows: Sept. 3 vs. Pepperdine (5 p.m.), Sept. 17 vs. Pennsylvania (7 p.m.), Sept. 27 vs San Diego (7 p.m.), Oct. 1 vs. UC Davis (7 p.m.), Oct. 17 vs. UC Riverside (7 p.m.) and Oct. 28 vs. Cal State Fullerton (7 p.m.).
"I remember the atmosphere the lights created and the rush of celebrating with the fans and community when we scored or won games at the old North Campus Stadium," West added. "I believe these lights will change the athletic department as a whole, not just the soccer program. It's going to bring the community back to campus and allow them to enjoy what we have to offer as a Division I athletic department."
The Matador men's soccer team will play a majority of its 2010 home schedule under the lights. The first regular season contest is schedule for Sept. 3 with a match against San Diego. CSUN will also host Air Force on Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. in the non-conference season.
One of the bigger dates of the 2010 season will come on Wednesday, Oct. 27 when CSUN hosts nationally-ranked UCLA at 7 p.m. The last time the Bruins came to the San Fernando Valley, the Matadors posted a 3-0 victory on Sept. 29, 2007, the program's first win in the all-time series between the schools.
In Big West play, the Matadors will host UC Davis (Oct. 9), Cal State Fullerton (Oct. 13), UC Irvine (Oct. 20), UC Riverside (Oct. 30) and Cal Poly (Nov. 6). All those games are tentatively scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
For Terry Davila, CSUN men's head coach, the timing could not be more perfect.
"Now we will have a chance to take the next step and incorporate the communities around Northridge on a deeper level and provide parents and their children with an opportunity to witness first-class soccer in a family-friendly environment," Davila said.
"Everyone in the program is excited about this project," explained Davila. "Now our program has the ability to evolve to the next level, further cultivate relationships with local talent, and truly become a team that the entire Valley can embrace and call their own."
In 2009, both the CSUN men's and women's soccer teams qualified for the Big West Tournament. The women's squad hosted the first home playoff game in school history, while the men re-entered the four-team field for the first time in three seasons. For their work, Davila and West both received Big West Coach of the Year honors in 2010.
In the professional ranks, the men's program has displayed a history for producing professional soccer players. In 2008, Sean Franklin was taken fourth overall by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS Super Draft and was named the league's Rookie of the Year. In 2010, Chad Borak was the first Big West player selected, going to the Colorado Rapids with the 40th overall pick.

Mahony unbound.
Grant Gallicho May 10, 2013 - 11:34am
Remember how in January, after nearly a decade of legal filibustering, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles finally made public the priest-personnel files it agreed to release as part of a 2007 settlement with abuse victims, except the files were heavily redacted, and remember how those files contained damning memos detailing the lengths to which archdiocesan officials -- including Cardinal Roger Mahony -- went to shield abuser-priests from civil authorities, and how soon after those memos made news, Archbishop Jose Gomez garnered praise for announcing that Mahony would "no longer have any administrative or public duties," and how several media outlets reported that Mahony had been "barred from public ministry," except he really hadn't, and then he took to his blog to dress down Gomez for "not once over these past years...[raising] any questions about our policies, practices, or procedures in dealing with the problem of clergy sexual misconduct involving minors," yet, as Mahony's then-spokesman explained, he had "cleared his calendar" of confirmation appointments this year? Well, he's doing them again. The Los Angeles Times reports:
Since Easter, he has officiated at eight services, including one last week in which he anointed more than 120 youths at a Wilmington parish. His presence has caused controversy, with some parents threatening to pull their children from the liturgies and at least one parish priest asking that Mahony not attend. It has also raised questions about why Gomez's rebuke of Mahony, an unprecedented move that won him praise from victims and their supporters around the world, had so little lasting effect.
You don't say. Gomez's letter did not include anything specific about the alleged change in Mahony's status. And, as an archbishop, Gomez does not have the authority to restrict the ministry of a cardinal. (Only a pope can do that.) But he does have the authority to say who presides over confirmations in the archdiocese. Have a look at the letter. Sorry, is that link broken? It seems the letter is no longer available on the website of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. (The L.A. Times cached a copy here.) Odd that the archdiocese's archive of press releases includes a January 22 apology from auxiliary Bishop Thomas Curry, who played a part in archdiocesan efforts to conceal accused priests from the law (and who really did cancel confirmations this spring), along with Gomez's statement on the release of the priest-personnel files, dated January 31 -- the same date on his statement on Mahony. Did that document disappear down the memory hole?
Perhaps amnesia is going around the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. When an L.A. Times reporter approached Mahony after a confirmation he presided over, the cardinal claimed he didn't know that his former spokesman had said he was done doing confirmations for the year: "'That's news to me.... I've been doing them every week and I'm going to be doing them every week,' he said, adding, 'So go home.'"
Strange that Mahony would be so confused, considering the pains he took to defend himself after Gomez published the letter promising that the cardinal would no longer have any public duties. Certainly the cardinal could not be surprised that some parents would not be pleased to have him confirm their children -- not after his series of blog posts cataloging his Lenten challenge to love his enemies, which, oddly, included a meditation on the virtue of remaining silent in the face of false accusations, and a promise to pray for God to forgive those who have expressed anger over his role in the sexual-abuse scandal.
Evidently the cardinal feels he's been unfairly treated by the media, but if his rehabilitation tour is to have any chance of success, he's going to have to start answering some tough questions. He might start with these: Why did you work so hard to block the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops-commissioned investigation of the sexual-abuse scandal, and why, long after the church knew of the dangers posed by abusive priests, did you attempt to hide accused priests from civil authorities? Was it about church resources? Money? If so, why was that more important than justice for victims of sexual abuse -- and the safety of children?
Commenting Guidelines
I object to the cathedral mainly because, if the photographs do it justice, it's not beautiful. Spending a lot of money on a beautiful church can be justified not just for the middle class and rich but for the poor, Being poor generally means not having anything beautiful things to call your own -- unless your church is beautiful. A beautiful church is a beautiful place where a poor person can feel at home, and I've known poor black people who have loved their churches for their beauty and who sacrificed to keep it up.But not every big, expensive church is beautiful, expecially avant garde ones. There's the rub. Maritain's little work "Art and Scholasticism" has some very wise words about religious art. He was much in favor of a lot of avant garde art and was even close friends with some of the great 20th century avant garde artists. But he said that church art should not be experimental because avant garde stuff is not always beautiful and/or people will not be open to it, while certain tried and true styles generally produce something worthwhile. That's what a great style is, I think -- a set of rules which are such that if you follow the rules you're very likely to get at least a worthwhile result. There are great styles of church architecture, e.g., the Gothic, that rarely seem to miss. I know that most architects wouldn't be caught dead doing something in a recognizably old style (except Gaudi, I'd say), but what do they know? Even they admit Gaudi's greatness and the basically Gothic style of the Cathedral of the Holy Family.
The audacity of Cardinal Mahony (along with others of his status) is mind-boggling! Only an arrest warrent (and is there any even pending?), would be enough to stop (maybe for a few hours), Mahony's free rein in the LA Archdiocese.I doubt if a mass protest of a few thousand people outside of the Chancery would even stop him.
But I thought we believe in a God of second chances and even third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth chances.
While it may be true that Archbishop Gomez can't restrict the ministry of a Cardinal, he certainly has the authority to regulate the sacramental life of his diocese. Cardinal Mahony can't waltz into a confirmation liturgy of his own volition and start confirming. There is just no way that these appearances aren't being coordinated by the archdiocese.Confirmation season is a huge crunch time in any diocese, as there are only so many bishops available, and every parish has kids who need to be confirmed. So there may be some logistical reason that Mahony has been pressed into service; one possibility is that Mahony was scheduled to preside at these confirmation liturgies before he was sent to the doghouse, and the archdiocese couldn't figure out a way to juggle the other bishops' schedules and get the kids confirmed when they were supposed to. If that is the case, then I think the people of the archdiocese are entitled to that explanation.I can think of worse possibilities. Hope there is no need to go there.
Little Bear... There is always a new grand jury .. An indictment would stop the merry-go-round. What a shame/disgrace that only an OUTSIDE force can bring reforms and justice to the Church/Faith we love. Canon Law is a joke and canon lawyers are the comedians.
The real wrogndoer here is Gomez. Publicly, he promised to keep Mahony out of public ministry. Privately, he quietly is violating that promise. David Clohessy, Director, SNAP, Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, (7234 Arsenal Street, St. Louis MO 63143), 314 566 9790 cell (email@example.com)
The new book, Mortal Sins: Sex, Crime, and the Era of Catholic Scandal. by Michael D'Antonio, contains 34 references to Mahony. http://www.amazon.com/Mortal-Sins-Crime-Catholic-Scandal/dp/0312594895/r... in Books > Christian Books & Bibles > Church History#2 in Books > Politics & Social Sciences > Sociology > Abuse#7 in Books > Biographies & Memoirs > True Accounts > True Crime
Should not the parents of the children being confirmed refuse to have their kids participate in the ceremonies being conducted by Mahony? If they are upset about his history, there is no one forcing them to present their children as confirmands to him.People who continue to participate in actions to which they object have no reason ... nor right ... to complain. Even sheep bleat when they are unhappy. Should we accept no less from sheeple?
In "The power and the glory", there is a scene in which a woman coming to confession says to the priest: "You're a bad priest!" - but that does not prevent her from going to him for confession anyway.
Jim McCrea,Were it that simple. I don't know how confirmations are scheduled in LA, but in our little corner of the world in Connecticut, we get about a month's notice of the date the Bishop (or his Vicar General or Chancellor) is available and will be there. It is one thing to be opposed to the Cardinal, but entirely another to pull a kid who has been preparing for 2 plus years from the ceremony at the last minute. I guess if everyone did it that could force the issue, but I'm not sure if effectively denying your child the sacrament to protest the crimes of his Lordship is the best way to go. There are perhaps better ways, though I don't exactly know what they would be. Also I would like to think that Jim Pauwels' reasoning is correct as to why His Lordship is continuing his farewell tour. I would also like to hope, that it is indeed a farewell tour.
I'm grateful for Jim Pauwels's comment, because I had the same reaction - who's scheduling Mahony to do these Confirmations in the first place? The story in the L.A. Times does point out that while Gomez can't punish a cardinal, "he does control administrative assignments in his archdiocese, including the confirmation schedule." And if "one parish priest ask[ed] that Mahony not attend," it seems unlikely the parishes are inviting him without Gomez's involvement.
Jim P suggests there are not enough LA bishops to confirm. Priests can confirm now [ say hello to Brazil] I suggest that grandmas be the regular ministers of Confirmation.. that may 'save' the sacrament going the way of Reconciliation. [Canon law comics please copy]
Thanks, Jim and Mollie -- I'm going to drop in a line about Gomez's scheduling authority.
Priests could always confirm. In the early Church, confirmation was administered along with baptism. In later days, priests could be "extraordinary ministers" of confirmation. In 1947, a rule was passed allowing priests in various circumstances to administer confirmation.Those Catholics who are old enough to have learned about the sacraments from the Baltimore Catechism will remember the amusing (imho) "Problems and Exercises" at the end of each chapter. (If you've forgotten these, click on the link below and enter Problems and Exercises in the Look Inside box. Some of them were very strange. And the names of the children in the examples were strange, too: Edna, Orville, Atlee, Horace, et al.)http://www.amazon.com/dp/0965602400/ref=rdr_ext_tmbOne problem in the confirmation section was about a boy who received the sacrament while in the state of mortal sin. Should he receive the sacrament again with the new class? (Answer: No. Just as an unfit bishop may validly confirm, so may an unfit child be validly confirmed.)
Someone mentioned in a post I cannot find that Mahony knows how to play more political hardball than anyone. The gist was that Mahony's striking back at Gomez in his blog was essentially a reminder to Gomez, watch out, I've got elbows. Then all of a sudden Gomez seemed to disappear, and if memory serves, even spoke up for Mahony participating in the conclave.Grant, you score again! Your tone is perfect.This is just a taste of the dissembling that goes on. I am reminded of Jason Berry's description of the Church as a "culture of mendacity." Imagine being a survivor approaching the Church for affirmation and justice, then encountering this tissue of fabrications in a surreal world where "the real as it exists in God" is nowhere to be found. Crazy-making. What chance does anyone have against such a powerful self-protecting system? Time for a few cursing psalms.
"So go home" ?Another arrogant JP2 appointee. Another chop at the credibility of US bishops.
Jim Dunn: I don't have a child, but if I did, 2 years of prep or not, I just wouldn't stand by and let the likes of Mahony confirm said child.I'd find another way/place/time.But, then, I don't have a child ... but I do have a sense of indignation that these guys get away with what they want to do and the 99% just rolls over and says or does nothing.You'll have the church that you allow.
Jim McCrea,I get where you're coming from and I agree in principal. Frankly I believe that Mahony and by extension the Archbishop who seems to have gone back on his word, creates a very difficult situation for parents and children by doing this. Pastors, too I suspect. Rescheduling/finding another way/time/place is easier said than done, and I hate using kids as pawns in a situation like this. Quite honestly, this is a situation that ought to have been avoided, and one where it really is the pastor's responsibility to step in and say Cardinal Mahony is not welcome at our parish. As far as a priest who is not a bishop confirming anyone, as I understand it, that can only happen with the permission of the local bishop, though I don't pretend to know that for a fact. And I know confirmation by a priest regularly occurs during the Easter Vigil, but I always assumed that was a unique circumstance. I don't pretend to know though. It was merely an assumption.
Is confirmation lucrative? Does a bishop leave the parish with much more in his pocket than when he arrived before the confirmation? Is this why we don't see priests confirming?----I would guess that there are wide variations of practice around the country and the world, but it's just one more area of finances and customary "gifts" that I don't understand.Would anyone explain? Thanks.
We recently had Bishop George Pallipparambil, SDB, of the Diocese of Miao, India, confirm 5 adults, none of whom is of Indian extraction.http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/diocese/miao0.htmWe are VERY selective in my parish when it comes to the administration of the sacraments!];<]]
On this PDF, the minimum stipend for Bishop Lori and his MC in 2011/2012 were $400 and $100.http://www.bridgeportdiocese.com/files/thebridge/Confirmation_directives...
Carolyn, Maybe you were thinking of the many posts Rocco Palmo has had about Mahony, like this one ... http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2013/02/nothing-prepared-me-to-d... don't think we can rely on the church to deal with this, but instead the civil authorities. According to this post at Verdict, it will be the loosening of SOLs that will make the difference .... http://verdict.justia.com/2013/05/02/who-is-afraid-of-justice-for-child-...
Yes, priests can confirm when that is delegated to them by the bishop. In my archdiocese, this is the standard practice on Easter Vigil, when hundreds of adult Catholics are confirmed during parish celebrations by priest celebrants.Here is how the Catechism of the Catholic Church explains it:"1313 In the Latin Rite, the ordinary minister of Confirmation is the bishop.130 Although the bishop may for grave reasons concede to priests the faculty of administering Confirmation,131 it is appropriate from the very meaning of the sacrament that he should confer it himself, mindful that the celebration of Confirmation has been temporally separated from Baptism for this reason. Bishops are the successors of the apostles. They have received the fullness of the sacrament of Holy Orders. the administration of this sacrament by them demonstrates clearly that its effect is to unite those who receive it more closely to the Church, to her apostolic origins, and to her mission of bearing witness to Christ."Besides its appropriateness/legal expectation, I would add that, in the US, it's traditional / customary that the bishop confirms children and teens. It's what the parents and grandparents experienced for their own confirmations, and it's natural that they'd expect it for their children. It would be viewed as a let-down if "just the priest" did confirmations. Also, it's good for bishops and teens to talk to one another. It's also good for the bishop to get out into the parishes and see what is going on. And from the bishop's point of view, even though it's a blizzard of confirmations at this time of year, it seems to be among the more enjoyable ministries they do, or at least that's what I've observed.Please note that none of this is to defend Mahony's participation. I don't think Cardinal Mahony should be doing confirmations. Just providing some thoughts on why it is the way it is in general with bishops and confirmations. If the reason for Mahony's participation is that it wasn't possible to find a bishop replacement for him, I think it's better that the local pastor receive permission, and that an explanation be given to the people.
I still say grandmas should be the Confirmation ministers and we won't have to hear "soldiers for Christ' stuff that was prevalent in my day.
Helen, if you had minor children in the Diocese of Los Angeles, would you let them anywhere near Mahony? I sure wouldn't.
Angela,Not having met the man, I don't know if he exudes creepiness as much as arrogance. For bishops, I don't think their problem lies to much in the likelihood of being a sex predator (which, admittedly is not zero), as it is an enabler of addicts. The percentage of bishops who have blundered in their handling of predator clergy dwarfs the percentage of clergy who have abused. Unless I knew otherwise, I would trust Cardinal Mahony around my daughter. But I wouldn't trust him as the ordinary of my diocese.
But at least we've been bequeathed the Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels, described as a "dynamic, contemporary Cathedral with virtually no right angles." I mean, come on, virtually no right angles, surely it's worth breaking a few eggs for something as awe inspiring as that.Nothing calls to mind the grandeur of God so much as an obtuse angle.
Yeah, the Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels ...The prices for some cathedral furnishings have also caused consternation. $5 million was budgeted for the altar, the main bronze doors cost $3 million, $2 million was budgeted for the wooden ambo (lectern) and $1 million for the tabernacle. $1 million was budgeted for the cathedra (bishop's chair), $250,000 for the presider's chair, $250,000 for each deacon's chair, and $150,000 for each visiting bishops' chair, while pews cost an average of $50,000 each. The cantor's stand cost $100,000 while each bronze chandelier/speaker cost $150,000.[9] The great costs incurred in its construction and Mahony's long efforts to get it built led critics to dub it the "Taj Mahony"[14] and the "Rog Mahal" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Our_Lady_of_the_Angels#Criticism
Spending other peoples money at the above rate for such items must have made spending $770 Million in abuse settlements easy as pie. If arrogance has a price tag ... that's it.
Crystal --Those charges are unreal. One has to wonder where the money really went.
If you take a look at the website, you can see that a lot of money was indeed spent there .... http://www.olacathedral.org/ .... but it sure disputes the church's preferential option for the poor.
Sorry Grant - you have the wrong target for your anger. There are many fine qualities in Cardinal Mahony even amidst his mistakes . If he's a 'demon' who must be hounded out of public life - how come that well known 'conservative' Eugene Kennedy could write this in his defence?http://ncronline.org/blogs/bulletins-human-side/los-angeles-archbishop-g... real issue was how so many bishops like Mahony were not allowed to laicise priests who were clearly pathological.That was the decision of JP11 who made this impossible for most of his pontificate.
Why do you have quotation marks around the word "demon"? I didn't call him a demon. And I'm not one of the people he's praying for because they shared their anger with him. And you don't have to laicize a priest to restrict his ministry. The Vatican didn't order Mahony to keep an abuser-priest out of state in order to shield him from California authorities. He and his advisers came up with that on their own.
When Rome won't do anything there's always the LAPD.
Cartman from South Park comes to mind: "Whatever. I do what I want!" Such is life for a princeling in a divine right monarchy. And so it will remain until the faithful cut off the money.
Were the quoted prices actual amount spent or targeted contribution amunts?It is not unusual to put a donation price tag on an item that doesn't reflect the true cost.
As for pricing particular items, Jim is right. A 228-ft long wall isn't nearly as sexy as having your name plaque on the leg of an altar. And somebody has to build that wall. And at least three others.Any cathedral is going to cost in the tens of millions. That's a given. And as a liturgist, I have no problem with expenses that contribute to the liturgical spirituality not just of the cathedral parish, but the diocese as a whole.On the other hand, stretching the building so it was one foot longer than St Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, shuttering archdiocesan offices, and giving the cold shoulder to the Catholic Worker community in SoCal. That brazen arrogance we can do without.
In Peter Brown's great new book, Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth, the Fall of Rome, and the Making of Christianity in the West, 350-550 AD, he tells of the mosaic tile floors of churches (and synagogues) unearthed by archaeologists that still bear the names of the donors. In some cases, the number of square feet they paid for was recorded as well. We can read their names and estimate how many solidi their contributions to the church cost. So maybe in another 1500 years the names of the donors to the L. A. Cathedral will be read and marveled at.http://www.amazon.com/dp/069115290X/ref=rdr_ext_tmb
Jim,The cathedral was finished in 2002 so I assume the Wikipedia article speaks of what it did cost, nut proposals. You can take a "tour" of the cathedral with Mahony here, and some costs are detailed at the link ... http://www.americancatholic.org/Messenger/Oct2002/Feature2.aspSorry, I don't understand why churches must cost so much. We were asked to give our money to the poor, not to the building committee.
There's so much in theology about the worth of beauty - the medieval transcendentals (goodness, truth, and beauty) and all the stuff from Aquinas (Aristotle) to Hans Urs von Balthasar and Alejandro Garcia-Rivera. But as far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the gospels, and I'm pretty sure, being below the poverty line myself, that if you asked a poor woman if she'd rather feed her child or look at a work of art, she'd choose the former.
PS - I'm not saying beauty and art aren't important, but that's why we have museums (which usually have a free day a week).
Is Bishop Finn of Kansas City confirming?Is Archbishop Myers of Newark confirming?Is there any bruhaha over them confirming? (Maybe there is, I just haven't seen it.)After the Weakland scandal, there was outrage over him confirming and he was withdrawn from the circuit. Now there's outrage over Mahoney and calls for him to be withdrawn from the circuit. I agree that they should withdraw. It's not appropriate for them to go on as if nothing happened.But why is it that liberal Archbishops get the bruhaha, and conservative bishops go on as if nothing happened? Is there a double standard? Or is it all about the fact that those conservative bishops who passed on predators are reigning bishops and Mahoney and Weakland were retired? So we feel retired bishops can and should be disciplined but not reigning bishops? Or are we saying implicitly that Mahoney was worse than Finn or Myers? What's good for a retired bishop is good for those in office, istm. Apply the same standards to conservatives as to liberals. None of them should confirm. Now, will Gomez really discipline Mahoney? And if Gomez disciplines Mahoney by forbidding him to confirm in his diocese, will Pope Francis do the same to Finn and Myers? The answers, sadly, are no and no.
Ann @ 5:45 -- It's very beautiful, once you're there. Don't judge by the photographs. It's really an amazing space. And the tapestries are breathtaking. The mural behind the presbyterium is also profound; I was very affected by the whole thing when I saw it in person, whereas in advance I was not taken with it. Also, when you're there you realize what they did created space for lots of local people to use, indoors and out, all day, for devotional space and sacred art and family events, and places for downtown people to come and eat their lunch or just sit outdoors, around the peripheries of this great space. A lot of people are praying in there too; don't judge it too harshly from photos.
"But why is it that liberal Archbishops get the bruhaha, and conservative bishops go on as if nothing happened? Is there a double standard? Or is it all about the fact that those conservative bishops who passed on predators are reigning bishops and Mahoney and Weakland were retired? So we feel retired bishops can and should be disciplined but not reigning bishops? Or are we saying implicitly that Mahoney was worse than Finn or Myers?"Rita - the practical difference seems to be that in the cases of Mahony and Weakland, they were no longer in charge of their dioceses, so there is someone else in charge who was/is in a position to pull them out of these liturgies. That's not the case with Finn and Myers, whom only the Vatican can discipline.Perhaps this is an additional consideration? Of the four you name, three of them - Weakland, Finn and Mahony - have apologized. To my knowledge, Myers has not. The apologies of the first three make an interesting comparison - I'd rank the three apologies in the order I've written their names at the top of this paragraph. Whether each specific apology is adequate, perhaps would be for the people of their respective dioceses to decide. But it seems to be a base minimum effort to heal whatever hurts they're responsible for. It seems possible, at any rate, that if one of those bishops showed up at my parish, having apologized for his misdeeds, I might be able to find it in my heart to forgive him. Indeed, an argument could be made that it would be my Christian duty to try.
Looks like Gomez wanted to scapegoat Mahony to placate public opinion, but Mahony wasn't having it, and Gomez realized that he was just as vulnerable to the scapegoating tactic if Mahony chose to use it (see http://ncronline.org/blogs/bulletins-human-side/los-angeles-archbishop-g...). Result, Gomez falls silent and allows Mahony to proceed unimpeded. No explanation to the faithful.
"But why is it that liberal Archbishops get the bruhaha, and conservative bishops go on as if nothing happened?"Beg to differ on this point, Rita. Cardinal Mahony is far from a liberal. He was a JP2 appointee. He consented to being part of investigation teams on bishops that had a far more impressive progressive pedigree.Any number of liberals have disowned him over the years. Frankly, I don't want him.And yes, Robert Finn has had pushback on confirmations. And even a deacon candidate. The problem in my former diocese is that there's no alternative when there's no auxiliary. Until they chop Los Angeles down into manageable dioceses--perhaps something they should consider--there is a choice.Also, what Jim said.
"But why is it that liberal Archbishops get the bruhaha?"I don't think Commonweal is the best place for that, especially with respect to Weakland. Hasn't he been featured here, perhaps even more than once, post-scandal? I don't think any "conservative" bishops have been.
Todd, it's not that Mahony himself is a predator, because no evidence has surfaced that he is. My children were taught to be deferential to priests and nuns (their aunt is a nun), and I wouldn't want them to give Mahony any deference he doesn't deserve.
Angela,Good point. However, I think it's possible to be polite without being deferential. I don't think clergy and religious should be deferred to. Treated politely, with dignity: sure. Just like anyone else.As for bishops, one of the problems, perhaps, is that people, especially their allies, have been unwilling to call them out for bad behavior. Commonweal did feature Rembert Weakland once, as I recall. And I was more than willing to join in criticism of his piece, and the decision to give him a platform. Other people can say what he said, and say it with more credibility.
AB Myers: full-fledged Opus DeiBp Finn: affiliated with Opus DeiMahony: crypto-OD? (not to be confused with *crypt* as in cathedral crypt :-)

Things I liked:solid feel, smooth pumping action, decent power, extremely accurate around 20 yards, composite stock it comfortable, scope included with rifle and fires both pellets and BBs
Things I would have changed:Nothing, it's a very nice rifle for the money.
What others should know:The Daisy 901 is in my opinion the best pump pellet gun in its price bracket, it has a good solid feel where as some other rifles around the same price feel a bit on the cheap side, pumping action is positive and does not feel weak in any way, the composite stock is nice and resists dings and scratches where as wood will not. Being a multi pump type rifle you can adjust your velocity thru how much pressure you build up in the chamber, maximum of 10 pumps or you risk ruining the seals, I target shoot with mine at 8 pumps which is plenty, open sights are good and work well, the 4X32 scope supplied is not high end by any means but works just fine for the rifle. Another nice thing about the daisy 901 that its not over particular about what pellet you use in it, I've shot Daisy wad cutters, Gamo Magnums and Hunters and don't notice any difference, it's very accurate to 20/30 yards on a good day I can set 1" groupings at that range. I think the 901 is the best of best in it's price range.
Things I liked:Superb plinker and pest control rifle.
Things I would have changed:Could make it easier for us older shooters load those tiny.177 pellets into the chamber. Smaller diameter front fiber optic sight would be nice too.
What others should know:I've alway wanted a super accurate air rifle, like a Hammerli 850, but now I no longer feel the need for one... Out to 25 or so yards my Daisy 901 does everything I ask it to.
It's been almost 6 months since I wrote this review and I still enjoy shooting my 901. There are times when I don't feel like cocking a magnum springer or fiddling with co-2 cartridges. Just cock, add pellet, pump 2 to 10 times, and shoot in a safe direction. It's still as reliable and accurate as the day I bought it!
Things I liked:I got this as a back door plinker that my wife and son could use. Its easy to pump, and its pretty quiet. It only needs 3 pumps to hit targets at 25 yards, and it shoots fine with inexpensive pellets. The stock has a good feel, and its easy to shoot. You cannot beat it for the money.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Everyone needs a pump up plinker, even if your main airgun is a high end springer, or PCP. Its inexpensive and will last forever.

Sockwell Circulator Compression Socks 8 8
I love these socks. They really help keep the swelling of my bad foot down. I have nerve damage on my right foot and wear a brace and have worn compression socks for several years. I will not get on a plane without them on. These socks are soft and not bulky. They fit in my SAS shoes and my tennis shoes. I have a pair in almost every color. I do not wear brown or beige, but the rest are in my sock drawer. thanks March 13, 2014
Very difficult to find socks. These are just the right thickness and just the right compression, not too much, not to little. February 4, 2015
Wonderful winter support socks These are great - and if you're a woman who prefers a less colorful leg covering, the men's line has a plain black pair. This is not bulky, and entirely suitable for longer-than-knee length skirts for work. The wool/rayon blend is comfortable against the skin, warm, and easier to get into than many nylon support socks I've tried January 13, 2015
Nice Fit for a Sixe 13/14 Good dress socks are hard to find for my size foot. My wife gave me a pair of these for Christmas. They fit well and don't have too much compression. Will be stocking up. January 24, 2015
Support socks Work well for my Neuropathy and Arthritis. I will most likely buy more. January 14, 2015
Feel-good sock, runs loose I am 64 and bought these socks to help with circulation problems. This sock has a great feel - almost like those wool socks that everyone buys. It's my first pair of compression socks, so I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of fit. I wear a size 9 shoe, and so got the M/L size sock. But they are really a bit loose to be doing their job. I'm hoping I can shrink them a bit. I would recommend this sock to people who have full calves. Definitely not the sock for those of us with thinner legs. November 7, 2014
Awesome Socks I'm a critical care nurse and I spend long hours on my feet. I've limped out of work many times after a rough shift with regular cotton socks. Another nurse told me about these socks and they really are amazing the way they reduce fatigue and pain. As advertised they are great for long trips sitting in the car or airplane. I've even hiked in them all day and they're much more comfortable than my usual high dollar hiking socks. October 15, 2014
First buy of these socks Really like the style\design. Good compression and comfortable to wear. This is my first purchase of these socks, having previously purchased sport style socks for an overseas trip. October 12, 2014
