God, Truth and the Free Society
From "thinly disguised totalitarianism" to the "dictatorship of relativism," John Paul II and Benedict XVI are of one mind on the threats to the free society.
It was for liturgical and devotional reasons that May 1 was chosen as the beatification date for Blessed John Paul II: Just as the pope died on the liturgical feast of Divine Mercy in 2005, he would be raised to the honors of the altar on the same feast this year. May is also the month of the Blessed Mother, which is fitting for a pope who was so devoted to Our Lady. But the calendar provides yet more significance for the date chosen.
This year, May 1 also marks the 20th anniversary of Centesimus Annus, John Paul II's 1991 encyclical on Catholic social doctrine. Human rights, liberty, justice, education, working conditions, wages, the alleviation of poverty, health care, the environment – all of these topics fall under the field of Catholic social doctrine. This body of teaching looks at the social order – culture, politics and economics – through the lens of the Gospel. While deeply rooted in Catholic tradition, Catholic social teaching is generally dated in its modern form to the 1891 encyclical by Pope Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum – an encyclical on "capital and labor" that was written in the wake of the industrial revolution.
Rerum Novarum was published May 15, 1891. To mark its centenary, John Paul II published Centesimus Annus (literally, the "hundredth year") in May 1991. It remains the great Christian charter of the free society, written in the immediate aftermath of the defeat of the Soviet communist empire, a historical drama in which John Paul II himself was a great protagonist.
Religion, culture, and the greatest of mysteries
John Paul II dated Centesimus Annus May 1 as a not-too-subtle way of dancing on communism's grave since May 1, or May Day, was a great communist holiday. In 1955, Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1 as a Christian response to communist propaganda. The publication of Centesimus Annus added an exclamation point to this response.
Indeed, John Paul II spent most of his life combating the wicked ideas that animated the totalitarian empires of the 20th century. The shape of the 21st century will depend in large part on whether the humane, Christian vision of Centesimus Annus can prevail against the negative alternatives that can corrupt the hearts of nations. The coincidence of John Paul II's beatification with the anniversary of his great social encyclical provides a propitious occasion to revisit this vision.
"[There are] two theses that I regard as central to Centesimus Annus: first, that both politics and economics have their matrix in culture, and second, that culture is incomplete without religion," wrote the late Cardinal Avery Dulles, S.J., on the fifth anniversary of the encyclical. "The political and economic orders cannot prosper without support from the order of culture, which provides the convictions and values on which the state and economy are predicated. The world of culture, moreover, touches closely on that of religion. If it attempts to suppress the dimension of ultimate mystery, it impoverishes itself. It has everything to gain if it opens its doors to God and to Christ."
In Centesimus Annus, John Paul II began by asking why communism failed. The fundamental problem, he concluded, was a faulty, impoverished and erroneous vision of the human person. The pope wrote, "It will be necessary to keep in mind that the main thread and, in a certain sense, the guiding principle ... of all of the Church's social doctrine, is a correct view of the human person and of his unique value" (11).
Against those who claimed that communism failed for practical reasons of economic inefficiency, the pope insisted that man does not live by bread alone. In a brief paragraph, he moved from the question of economics to the greatest of mysteries:
"At the heart of every culture lies the attitude man takes to the greatest mystery: the mystery of God. Different cultures are basically different ways of facing the question of the meaning of personal existence."
"[I]t is not possible to understand man on the basis of economics alone, nor to define him simply on the basis of class membership. Man is understood in a more complete way when he is situated within the sphere of culture through his language, history, and the position he takes toward the fundamental events of life, such as birth, love, work and death. At the heart of every culture lies the attitude man takes to the greatest mystery: the mystery of God. Different cultures are basically different ways of facing the question of the meaning of personal existence" (24).
This emphasis on the human person and the meaning of personal existence is the characteristic twist of John Paul II. His encyclical was the great charter of a free society because he insisted that religious, political and economic freedom are all required so that man can give his free response to God.
Rocco Buttiglione, the Italian philosopher who served as a consultant on Centesimus Annus, has said that the "general principle" that undergirds the whole teaching of John Paul II is that "nothing good can be done without freedom, but freedom is not the highest value in itself. Freedom is given to man in order to make possible the free obedience to truth and free gift of oneself in love."
It should not be a surprise that the encyclicals of Pope Benedict XVI – including God is Love and Charity in Truth – focus on love, picking up where John Paul II left off.
The dictatorship of relativism
The question must still be asked: Is Centesimus Annus still relevant 20 years later, with communism no longer a credible intellectual option, even if communists themselves hang on in parts of the world? Yes, more than ever. Twenty years ago, the passages of John Paul II's encyclical that drew the most attention were about economics; today the most relevant passages relate to the role of religion in public life. The questions now are: What kind of free society should we build, and is there room in a free society for the mystery of God?
"Authentic democracy is possible only in a State ruled by law, and on the basis of a correct conception of the human person," John Paul II wrote. "Nowadays there is a tendency to claim that agnosticism and skeptical relativism are the philosophy and the basic attitude which correspond to democratic forms of political life. Those who are convinced that they know the truth and firmly adhere to it are considered unreliable from a democratic point of view, since they do not accept that truth is determined by the majority, or that it is subject to variation according to different political trends. It must be observed in this regard that if there is no ultimate truth to guide and direct political activity, then ideas and convictions can easily be manipulated for reasons of power."
The pope then concludes with a stinging observation: "As history demonstrates, a democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly disguised totalitarianism" (46).
. . . the "general principle" that undergirds the whole teaching of John Paul II is that "nothing good can be done without freedom, but freedom is not the highest value in itself. Freedom is given to man in order to make possible the free obedience to truth and free gift of oneself in love."
With this statement, was John Paul II associating the governments of the United States, Canada or Europe with a "thinly disguised totalitarianism"? Surely he was not talking about us, was he?
In 1991, it might have been harder to step back and see the truth of the Holy Father's observation. But John Paul II saw what is now becoming more evident: The United States and Canada are not totalitarian nations, but the totalitarian impulse is very thinly disguised indeed, and the signs on the horizon are ominous.
Consider political developments affecting the Catholic Church: The state pays for abortion and calls it a human right; Catholic employers are forced to pay for insurance coverage contrary to Catholic teaching; conscience protections for Catholic doctors, nurses and pharmacists are eroding; the freedom of Catholic schools to present the ancient tradition regarding love, marriage and sexuality is challenged; and Catholic associations, including the Knights of Columbus, run afoul of bureaucrats enforcing a flawed notion of equality.
"Can anyone doubt that this is what is happening – in Canada, in the United States, in Europe?" asked Cardinal William Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in a March 2010 address in Ottawa, Canada. "Pope Benedict has described this as 'the dictatorship of relativism,' the phrase he made famous on the eve of his election as bishop of Rome. The dictatorship of relativism does not so much seek to impose one view on everybody, but rather to drive from political life, academic life and cultural life anyone who refuses to concede that all truths are relative, or to put it more bluntly, that there is no truth which can be known with certainty. Against this relativism and skepticism, the Christian believer proclaims that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. It is a direct confrontation with the dictatorship of relativism."
In this way, Cardinal Levada described the challenge – as well as the solution – perceived by Pope Benedict and his predecessor. Freedom is preserved, rather than inhibited, when religion and the truth about man are professed. From "thinly disguised totalitarianism" to the "dictatorship of relativism," John Paul II and Benedict XVI are of one mind on the threats to the free society. When the latter beatifies the former on May 1, the teaching of the "hundredth year" will be proposed again.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- In the Midlands, we're used to the homecoming of soldiers from area bases, however a sailor has a lot to be thankful for this holiday.
"Truly it is going to be the best Thanksgiving I think I've ever had," said Cindy Niske.
Thanksgiving is all about being thankful for what you have.
"I'm very appreciative of the fact that I'm able to get this time, so I feel very lucky and fortunate to be able to be here," said OSSN Kelly Piper.
For Kelly's mom, Cindy, she's thankful for her daughter to even be in the Midlands.
"I booked the flight earlier, but she really didn't get approved until last week," Niske said. "We were really kind of gambling on it. But, you know, from a mom's perspective it was worth the gamble."
Kelly has been gone since April 2011 and has been around the world. From San Diego, Calif. to Brisbon, Australia.
"You do find yourself homesick every once in awhile," Piper said.
But for five days Kelly gets to enjoy the comfort of being home with her family. And even her four-legged friends.
"I've missed my dog so much," Piper said.
And while most are focused on what they'll be piling on their plate, Cindy is just happy to have a space at the table for Kelly.
"Never mind Thanksgiving and turkey and casseroles and all of that," Niske said. "I've just been so excited about Kelly being home."
Kelly heads back to San Diego on Sunday.

Flowers for Algernon was first published as a short story, but soon received wide acclaim as it appeared in anthologies, as a television special, and as an award-winning motion picture, Charly. In its final, expanded form, this haunting story won the Nebula Award for the Best Novel of the Year. Through Jeff Woodman's narration, it now becomes an unforgettable audio experience.
©1966 Daniel Keyes; (P)1998 Recorded Books, LLC
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Phenomenal Classic"
Beautifully written classic tale of Charlie Gordon, a man with mental retardation who undergoes an experimental surgical procedure to cure his "condition." Charlie is mentally and physically abused by his mother and teased for the entirety of his 32 years. He enters into therapy, and an accelerated learning program, attending classes and racing mazes with the first subject, Algernon the mouse. Keeping a diary, Charlie tracks his current progress and remembers the painful details of his previous memories with new clarity.
The story questions the attitudes and sickening treatment of people with special needs and the isolation felt from being on the outside looking in. I'm reminded of George Bernard Shaw's, "Pygmalion." Eliza Doolittle, like Charlie, becomes a subject in a test to prove those believed inferior can transform to the norms of society. The question ignored is when emotional immaturity doesn't catch up quickly enough with newfound intelligence and the pitfalls therein. The human being is ignored for the advancement of science. Charlie also struggles to find meaning and purpose. All of these themes are explored in depth by Keyes and the narrator is phenomenal; moving back and forth with spot on cadence and dialect, perfectly emoting the evolution and regression of Charlie.
Outstanding novel.
"Great Writing and Incredibly Good Narration"
Although written in 1966 based upon a short story published in 1959, nothing about this book is dated, hackneyed or trite. In fact, little would need to be changed for it to pass as a recently published novel set in the 1960s. The current Wikipedia entry for this book notes three main themes: treatment of the mentally disabled, the conflict between intellect and emotion or happiness, and how events in the past can influence a person later in life. Keyes does effectively develve into each of these issues, particuarly the last. However, for me, the deeper issue is Keyes' subtle, unstated questions about the value of all life, particularly the lives of those with little awarness of their own worth. In addition, Jeff Woodman's narration was superlative. His voice, inflection, cadence, etc. gave life and meaning to Charlie's character in a way that complemented and added to Keyes' writing. I listen to audiodbooks about 20 hours each week, and few books have affected me like this one in months. Give it a try.
"Don't Even Debate It, Just Click "Add to Cart""
The story and narration were superb and the plot was engrossing. After listening to about 60+ nonfiction books I have started to dip my toes into fiction--particularly science fiction. I remember listening to a classmate give a review of this book in a high school English class and decided to use one of the 'ol two credits on this one. Smart decision. Even though I knew the ending before I hit the play button, the journey--as any good book reveals--is more important that mere facts.
The ending will hit you.
"beautiful and heartbreaking"
this is deservedly a classic. there is much to think about regarding intelligence and enhancement. if you value what makes you an individual this novel will grip you and haunt you. one of my all time favorites.
"You won't forget this story."
I saw the play of this story years ago but could not remember the plot so I decided to listen to the book. I will never think about intelligence and society's perceptions the same way again. Perhaps because the novel is a much more in-depth exploration of Charly's psyche, the book stuck with me in a way the play did not. In the beginning the stuttering prose is frustrating, but it is such a necessary component of the novel and the gradual transformation to the point where Charly is speaking over your head sneaks up on you. Charly's reactions to the world change as his understanding of the world changes, and the reader can't help but reflect on the themes on a personal level.
"A wonderful story, an excellent narration"
I have loved this story ever since I saw the movie version, "Charly," with Cliff Robertson. So I was looking forward to reading "Flowers for Algernon." The audiobook did not disappoint. The narrator did an excellent job of adapting his voice to the many characters in the novel, which enhanced the listening experience. The story, which was originally a short story and was expanded by the author into a full-length novel, was as moving as the movie had been. All-in-all this was an enjoyable audioibook.
"What a fantastic book!"
Yes, defiantly.
The descriptions were nice and the narration was superb! But most of all the way the character went back and forth with himself.
When the character told the reader that him and Alice had more in just a short time then most people had in a lifetime.
I am not an emotional person per say, but this story has a way of making you really rethink and analyze the emotions of the character.
This is a brilliant story! It opens and takes hold and doesn't let you go until the close. What a fantastically thought out and wonderful read!
"An amazing experience"
I have heard about this book many times but have never read it or watched one of the movies or TV shows based on it, but I decided it was about time that I did. Written originally as a short story in 1958 and later in 1966 as a novel it is an amazing tale of a mentally challenged man who science turns into a genius with an incalculably high IQ even though he still has the emotions of a child.
As narrator Jeff Woodman brings this story to life, he does an incredible job presenting Charlie through his many changes and growth along with the people around him that I regularly forgot that only one actor was conveying the story. Not many narrators have done that for me and this performance is the best I have heard in an audio book so far.
"First book that ever made me cry..."
I first read this book when I was a kid--thanks to lots of older brothers and sisters bringing their books home from upper grades--and it was the first time I'd ever read a book that made me cry. Hearing Jeff Woodman's brilliant character reading and narration made it come alive in the way it had when I read it so many years ago. His presentation is authentic New Yorker and hauntingly childlike and tinged with biting sarcasm when appropriate. The net effect of this audiobook is less of a read and more of a life-changing experience...which is how it was the first time I read the book.
It occurs to me that Flowers For Algernon has shaped the person I've become more than I'd ever remembered.
And memory is, after all, what this story is all about.
I don't write book reports.
"Walk with a Swagger"
It made me sad as I kept reading "Flowers for Algernon." I'm roughly the same age as Charlie and also was born with a disability. I could had had been mentally retarded, but by mother nature, my disability is different than his. I really don't think when Daniel Keyes was writing this book, he was going for the science fiction genre, but more how society treat people differently base on their mental status.
As Charlie gets smarter and smarter, he is treated differently and his attitude becomes more pompous as he learns more and more. He is no longer the happy go lucky guy that used to mopped floors in the bakery. As the experiment becomes more successful, he starts losing himself.
I can relate to Charlie. Although I am not a genius and I was raise in a loving family, the flashbacks of Charlie's parents is so real to me. For example, when his mother seeks for a cure to his mental retardation, I also had a similar instant in my life. For me, I had every treatment that my grandma could think of to make me try to walk or use my hands. None of the treatments worked and my family was forward thinkers at the time and gave me every resource to succeed.
If there was a magic cure to relieved me from my Cerebral Palsy and be like Charlie and be normal, I wonder how would my friends and family treat me. More importantly would I be walking with the norm, or would I be walking with a swagger and start to distance myself from people that I use to know?
This is an extremely powerful book. There is so much to the story other than the lab rat and the science experiment with the mentally retarded. A book like this is very rare these days.
"Flowers for Algernon" was published in 1959 and I have yet to read anything else that touch me.
Pure excellence. .

Me again... I noticed you do not include currents/raisins or caraway seed in your soda bread. Since you are a lot closer to Ireland, I guess yours is closer to the original.ReplyDelete
wow love this kind of bread looks amazing enjoying the new kitchen LOLReplyDelete
This looks so good. I'm going to have to try soda bread using oatmeal as I've seen so many others using this.ReplyDelete
I love soda bread! I'm going to give your recipe a go!ReplyDelete
What is the wholemeal flour? Can I use wheat- or wheat pastry flour?ReplyDelete
Hi BeckyReplyDelete
Wholemeal flour is 'brown', it has all the bran in it as well as the wheatgerm. I checked on a conversion terms website and it is described as 'wholewheat' It will work with any flour even all purpose white, but is better with the wholemeal. Enjoy.

Jr. High Brownies test negative for marijuana
Polk County Enterprise - June 2009
LIVINGSTON — Livingston Independent School District administrators investigated an incident Friday where students at Livingston Junior High believed brownies brought by a fellow student contained marijuana. Some of the brownies had already been eaten when word reached LJH Principal Mike Woodard. Testing by the Livingston Police Department showed the leaf-like substance in the baked goods was not marijuana or any other controlled substance.

Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Lady Gaga & Karl Lagerfeld | Visionaire #61 Preview
I've written more than one treatise on Karl Lagerfeld's psychologically-unsettling relationship with strong, Amazonian women. Perhaps I've read too many psychology books, but Lagerfeld is pretty transparent to this attentive observer of his work.
This Lagerfeld image for Visionaire #61, produced to be an overpowering 5 x 7 ft in size, may be my favorite image of all time. Featuring fashion and pop culture greats like Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Lady Gaga, it appears that the size 4-6, empowering and kick-butt supermodel bodies are back in town -- if only for a flash.
See the video on VisionaireWorld.com, where you can buy Visionaire 61 3x4 feet (limited edition of 2,500) or the 5x7 (limited edition of 250).

Help restore and refresh Christ the King chapel at Good Samaritan Hospital, a refuge for patients and their families for the past 63 years.
After 63 years, Christ the King chapel at Good Samaritan Hospital is awaiting its first face-lift.
The chapel opened in 1950 at what was then the hospital's main entrance on East 31st Street, 26 years after the hospital was built by the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration.
Today, the chapel is a place of quiet pause, reflection and renewal for the thousands of patients and their families who receive care at Good Samaritan Hospital each year.
With the funds raised, Good Samaritan plans to replace the stained-glass windows; replace the flooring; redo the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system, and update the seating.
The chapel represents Good Samaritan's faith-based ministry that began 89 years ago. It is a tranquil, sacred space where a different kind of healing occurs.
The chapel has held numerous weddings, funerals, celebrations of thanks and praise as well as traditional worship services. Mass is said at noon every Wednesday and Friday by priests in the Kearney area.
It is where visitors, staff and patients gather to seek peace and understanding.
Sister Rita Beason, director of Pastoral Care, says "People come to the hospital as patients. They are frightened and vulnerable. We want them to be able to come to the chapel and feel a warmth welcoming them, like God is present to them in a way that they would not sense otherwise."
Sister Rita said the chapel's name reflects the fact that it is open and welcoming to people of all denominations. It was named Christ the King Chapel because, regardless of the religious faith of patients, "The Lord was the one thing over all. The Lord is here over all the hospital," she said.
Please donate to preserve the chapel and the memories it holds.

On January 19, 2011, President Obama appointed Susan Hildreth to be director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Hildreth has been the city librarian in Seattle for the past two years. Her nomination to her new post was confirmed by the US Senate by unanimous consent on December 22, 2010.
Before moving to Seattle, Hildreth served for five years as California's state librarian, a position to which she was appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Previously, Hildreth was at the San Francisco Public Library, where she served as deputy director and then city librarian. Her background also includes five years as deputy library director at the Sacramento Public Library, several years as Placer County's head librarian, and four years as library director for the Benicia Public Library, all in California. She began her career as a branch librarian at the Edison Township Library in New Jersey.
Hildreth was active in the American Library Association, serving as president of the Public Library Association in 2006. She has a master's degree in library science from State University of New York at Albany, a master's degree in business administration from Rutgers University, and a bachelor of arts, cum laude, from Syracuse University.
Hildreth will serve a four-year term as the Director of the Institute. The directorship of the Institute alternates between individuals from the museum and library communities. She succeeds Marsha L. Semmel, who served as IMLS Acting Director since March 14, following the departure of IMLS Director Anne-Imelda M. Radice, Ph.D., at the conclusion of her four-year term. Semmel is currently the deputy director for museums and director for strategic partnerships.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) --The CDC calls it an "invisible epidemic."
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) caused by sports are on the rise, according to a new study published by Pediatrics.
Physicians at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center monitored visits to the emergency room between 2002 and 2011. The number of children visiting for sports-related TBIs increased by 92 percent.
At the Cincinnati hospital, the most common causes of injury were sledding, inline skating and skateboarding.
The study showed that while hospital visits for TBIs increased dramatically, the severity of the injuries decreased. Length of hospital stays remained steady.
The physicians did not focus their study on why the rates of TBIs have skyrocketed. But they speculate that physicians may be recommending more hospital visits for patients, and that head injuries happen more often because athletes are bigger and stronger.
About 630,000 emergency visits per year are due to TBIs. Head injuries also account for about 6,100 deaths in children and teens each year.

Luv Kandi! It irks me that media tries to make seem like she made her $ from RHOA, this woman has been doing since her teens!
The Grammy award winning Atlanta "Housewife" is definitely a few steps ahead of several of her Real Housewives of Atlanta castmates with her porfolio.
Not only did Kandi launch "Bedroom Kandi,"her own line of sex toys, but she's also been granted her own "star-search" like show on Bravo.
Kandi shares a few words of wisdom to anyone out there who strives to follow their dreams…
Thinking outside of the box to secure a quality lifestyle is what any queen bee would do, Burruss explains. She argues that women especially should strive to be the queen bee, and not a worker bee.
"There's only one queen bee; there are thousands of worker bees. They have a team, they go out and gather the honey, and they do what they are told what to do all the time." Burruss says.
"I don't want to be a worker bee. People work that nine-to-five job that they don't really like or they don't want to do. But they're used to getting that check every two weeks and they don't know what they would do if that check didn't come."
Burruss says women should work on their dreams.
"I don't know if I'll get a check next week, or next month, but if I go real hard within so many months, I should see something. Sometimes you have to step out on faith and just go for it, [otherwise] you'll be stuck in the worker bee syndrome forever."
…and let the church say AMEN!!
Are you a WORKER Bee or a QUEEN Bee?

• Full Results | Lightweight Women's Recap | Openweight Women's RecapMADISON, Wis. -- For the second time in three years the Wisconsin men's four won their race at Boston's famous Head of the Charles regatta.With nearly 9,000 rowers and 2,000 boats competing in 61 races, some of the best rowers in the world competed on Boston's Charles River and the Badgers were among the competition. The lightweight women's eight and 2008 Wisconsin alum Kristen Hedstrom also won their races on Sunday.When men's head coach Chris Clark previewed the men's chances at the Head of the Charles, he admitted "it won't be pretty and maybe not even that fast, but the oars will be punished." Clark added the team would stick to their race plan, which was simply, "go like heck."That race plan worked well, as Wisconsin won the championship men's four race. After only practicing together once as a four, the Badgers finished the three-mile race in 16:12.69, 15 seconds ahead of second-place California. They reclaimed their title after winning it in 2009 and not racing in the event last year."How exactly it happened, I don't know, but it was impressive," Clark said. "This was the most surprising of any of the successes we have ad here in the past several years, it was fun to see."In the men's eight, the Badgers finished tenth in a strong field of 34 boats. Harvard had the best time through all three checkpoints and won in 14:17.68. Wisconsin was in fifth after the first split and seventh after the second and third splits. They ended with a time of 14:48.25.The Badger men will continue their fall season next Sunday at the Head of the Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.

"Attaching the pipette to a dendrite is tremendously technically challenging," Smith said. "You can't approach the dendrite from any direction. And you can't see the dendrite. So you have to do this blind. It's like fishing if all you can see is the electrical trace of a fish." And you can't use bait. "You just go for it and see if you can hit a dendrite," he said. "Most of the time you can't."
But Smith built his own two-photon microscope system to make things easier.
Once the pipette was attached to a dendrite, Smith's team took electrical recordings from individual dendrites within the brains of anesthetized and awake mice. As the mice viewed visual stimuli on a computer screen, the researchers saw an unusual pattern of electrical signals bursts of spikes in the dendrite.
Smith's team then found that the dendritic spikes occurred selectively, depending on the visual stimulus, indicating that the dendrites processed information about what the animal was seeing.
To provide visual evidence of their finding, Smith's team filled neurons with calcium dye, which provided an optical readout of spiking. This revealed that dendrites fired spikes while other parts of the neuron did not, meaning that the spikes were the result of local processing within the dendrites.
Study co-author Tiago Branco, PhD, created a biophysical, mathematical model of neurons and found that known mechanisms could support the dendritic spiking recorded electrically, further validating the interpretation of the data.
"All the data pointed to the same conclusion," Smith said. "The dendrites are not passive integrators of sensory-driven input; the

Libpng Security Advisory
15 May 2007
A grayscale PNG image with a malformed (bad CRC) tRNS chunk
will crash some libpng applications.
This vulnerability could be used to crash a browser when a
user tries to view such a malformed PNG file. It is not known
whether the vulnerability could be exploited otherwise.
The reason is that png_ptr->num_trans is set to 1 and then there is
an error return after checking the CRC, so the trans[] array is never
allocated. Since png_ptr->num_trans is nonzero, libpng tries to use
the array later.
This bug was first introduced in libpng version 0.90, in 1996. All
versions from libpng-0.90 through libpng-1.2.16 are vulnerable.
Here is the fix, thanks to Mats Palmgren:

This patch can be applied to any vulnerable version of libpng.

An exchange of emails from Kevin Clash, the voice of the Sesame Street character Elmo, reveal that he was obsessed with talking about sex with the man who is accusing Clash of having sex with him when he was just 16.
TMZ obtained emails from 2010 in which Clash writes to his accuser, "I'm sorry that I keep talking about sex with you, its driving me insane."
Clash continues, "I want you to know that I love you and I will never hurt you. I'm here to protect you and make sure your dreams come true."
He then tells the man that he will arrange for a flight to take him to New York. "I'll have my assistant book a ticket for you to come to NY and we can talk about this in person," Clash wrote.
As we previously reported, the scandal went public Monday, when TMZ reported that Clash took a leave of absence from Sesame Street after the accuser claimed that he and Clash had sex when he was just 16 and Clash was 45.
Clash did tell TMZ that he had a relationship with the man, but insisted that it did not start until after the man turned 18.
As for Sesame Workshop, which produces the show, they told TMZ that they had met with the man a couple of times, but he could never produce evidence to support his claims.
"Elmo is bigger than any one person and will continue to be an integral part of Sesame Street to engage, educate and inspire children around the world, as it has for 40 years," Sesame Workshop said in a statement.

Philadelphia, Pa. - The University of Pennsylvania
Department of Athletics has announced the hiring of Matt
Hogan as head coach of the men's lacrosse program. Hogan
succeeds Marc Van Arsdale, who left the University earlier
this summer.
"The Penn men's lacrosse program has a rich tradition and we feel that Matt Hogan is the right person to continue that tradition," Penn Associate Athletic Director Earl Cleghorn said. "He brings a wealth of experience to Penn that should help us continue our climb toward the top of the ever-competitive Ivy League."
"My family and I are extremely excited to be coming to a great school like Penn that excels both academically and athletically in a great city like Philadelphia," Hogan said. "Franklin Field has always been one of my favorite places to play and to combine that with Penn's strong lacrosse community of current players and alumni, I am looking forward to embracing this position and all that it offers."
Hogan comes to Penn after 13 years at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis where he served as the assistant coach and defensive and faceoff coordinator. While with the Midshipmen, Hogan also served as the recruiting coordinator and was the direct scout of Navy's opponents. He helped lead Navy to five NCAA tournament appearances (1989, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1999) including a quarterfinal appearance in 1989. Hogan's defensive unit finished first in the nation in 2000 for lowest goals against average (6.00) and was fourth in the nation in the same category this past season (7.38).
Penn's new coach brings head coaching experience to the Quakers' lacrosse program as well after serving as the head coach at Clarkson University from 1986-88. While there, Hogan's team posted it's first-ever national ranking in 1987 and went to it's first postseason championship in 1988. Hogan was named ICAC Unanimous Coach of the Year in 1988 after Clarkson won the ECAC Upstate New York Championships.
Hogan has also held lacrosse posts at the University of Maryland and the University of Delaware. Hogan earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from Springfield College in 1982 and received a Master's degree in the same major from the University of Delaware in 1985.
He is currently in the process of producing and editing his second lacrosse instructional video, "Midfield Play: Dodging and Shooting." Hogan is a member of US Lacrosse Inc. and is the current chair of the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association awards committee.

Chicago priest apologizes for public statements on women's ordination
Catholic World News - November 15, 2010
A Chicago priest who issued public statements in August and September criticizing Church teaching on the ordination of women has now apologized for those statements and promised to "do my very best to support this Church doctrine."
Father Larry McNally apologized for "my words and actions that challenged the doctrine" that women cannot be ordained. He reportedly issued the apology in his parish bulletin at the orders of Cardinal Francis George.

Have you ever seen an instance where a nerdfigher becomes the aggressor in a situation? Does that, in turn, revoke the nerdfightism? Thoughts down below...
Views: 98
well i think that if a person forgets to be awesome once then it wouldn't revoke the nerdfighter-ness, but if someone who likes to say that they are a nerdfighter but always forget to be awsome and doesn't do anything to decrease world suck shouldn't be classed as a nerdfighter. an example i have seen of a nerdfighter forgetting to be awesome is myself when it gets to exam season. i lose sleep and don't eat properly, which makes me extremely grumpy and very likely to snap at someone (usually at one of my friends, but they have known me long enough to know what i am like near exam season)
indeed. maybe it's the Christian in me...but the point seems to be to try to be more awesome and include others so we can encourage them to improve too, not to exclude people just because they aren't perfect (what would a perfectly awesome person even be like?)
we say, 'Don't Forget To Be Awesome.' i've never seen, or heard, 'or else.'
good point, alot of religions/groups of people/clubs etc have some sort of punishment if you break the rules. but if there were to be a punishment, there would have to then be guidelines about how you should be punished, and under what circumstances
so i was backtracking a little... following the silly, John says something that i think sums up his feelings on this point.
well i have to wonder, what define "awesome". for some people, awesome may be protesting funerals of the dead (i.e. West Borough Baptist Church). on the other hand, this is the EXACT opposite of awesome (i.e. everyone else in the world). Which leads me to ask, 1) what defines awesome and 2) if it's the definition is within the perspective of the person, is there such thing as world suck? I know it seems like it's an obvious question, but is there is no defined set of "awesome" rules, then it can be molded to can anything you do awesome, thus meaning there is no world suck to be had. So my challenge to you: make a set of "awesome" guidelines that either everyone agrees on, or enough people agree to have a defined awesome/suck line.
Oooh, criteria for "awesome!" I like it!
I'll take a crack at defining "awesome" in the Nerdfighter sense (how I see it, anyway).
1) Awesome = anything that reduces ignorance. Nerds are brainy beings, they should want to spread that around.
2) Awesome = happiness/peacefulness. We don't want to go around invading other countries, or picking fights for no reason.
3) Awesome = standing up for what is right. This is the only time that definition 2 might need to be overlooked. Fighting is bad, but fighting a mugger to protect an old lady is awesome.
4) Awesome = individual rights. A "whatever floats your boat" mentality should be our default position, except in cases where someone's preference would impinge on other people's liberties. i.e. You can live how you want, but you can't kill people, since that keeps them from living how THEY want.
5) Awesome = fun. Anything that is fun and makes people smile helps increase the awesome in the world.
Ok, there's my basic awesome outline. Feel free to make changes or additions.

Many AIDS Community Resources clients throughout its nine-county coverage area are counting on support from local communities to help them have happy holidays.
Deputy Director of Development Carrie M. Large said the annual Holiday Angels program could help as many as 250 clients this year, including some from the north country.
The agency is looking for people to become angels to purchase basic-needs items from a clients wish list. Items also include bedding and gifts for family members.
We do serve a lot of the poor, and they make decisions of, Do I buy food to put on my table, buy my (HIV/AIDS) medication or buy a present? Ms. Large said. Its just needed items, such as hats, jackets, winter boots to walk to school and even clothing to go on interviews.
Clients include those who have been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS in Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Cayuga, Herkimer, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga and Oswego counties. The high cost of AIDS medication and treatment, along with other financial strains, contributes to their participation in the annual program.
Program supporters may choose to help an individual or his or her family. Ms. Large said those who would like to help may tell an agency representative how much they would like to spend and they will be matched with someone.
Ms. Large said monetary donations are also accepted because the agency provides a food card for clients to purchase items for a holiday meal.
Those interested in supporting the program may call the agency at 475-2430. Items should be returned to the agencys offices in Watertown or Canton by Dec. 6.
Thousands of readers like you have made Northern New York Newspapers the number one ranked website* for local news and sports coverage in the north country.

Into the Future
In my mind, anytime is a good time to think about the future, whether it's just to see a concert, preparing for a test, or even something long term, especially your career goals. What are you going to do after college and for the rest of your life? What if your plans don't go the way you want them to?
To be frank, I don't know exactly what I want to do as a career. My imagination runs wild every time I think about what I want to do, and it started ever since I was a little kid: a concert flutist, a dancer, a teacher, a lawyer, a perfumer-maker/creator, a wine-maker, a landscaping architect, a marine biologist, an architect…
I think you get the point. Thinking in realistic terms, I know I'll probably do something in the sciences, which I hope has to do with plants. I may not know so much about them right now, but I know I love working with them and that they are so vital in this world. I would love to pursue teaching sometime in the future because I want to spread my interests to others, hopefully inspiring people to pursue the sciences or just anything they are passionate in. Yet knowing that so many opportunities are available, I also hope that I don't overlook those options. For instance, I try to keep myself open to everything I can do; I don't know if I want to go to medical school or pharmacy school, but because I know I can pursue these areas, I am taking classes that fulfill the requirements to apply to those schools, just in case I develop an interest and passion for those areas.
I know for a fact that I might not end up doing whatever I set my heart out to do, and maybe, that job or career may suit me even more and be better than anything I have ever imagined. I know for a fact that can happen, since that's almost what happened to me with my college choices and such. Basically, that just means I don't know exactly where I'm going, and I am a little bit worried. Yet as my dad reminds me, do something you are interested, because if you don't, you will have a hard time learning the subject and may regret it later. So I know for sure I want to do something with plants. What exactly? I don't know. I might do research, become a doctor, be a teacher, write about plants, draw/photograph plants, preserve them, be a curator of a botanical garden, be a propagator, find new drug compounds…So many options are in front of me, and I know I have time to find and choose what I would like to do.
So what about you? Don't worry if you haven't found a subject to latch onto. It's hard to determine what you want to do, as time goes on, you'll find something. Just remember to have an interest in the subject and don't let anything keep you from sticking to that subject. It makes life more meaningful and interesting. And have fun exploring other interests!
