"Man is a political animal," wrote Aristotle, and thus, as St. Thomas Aquinas noted, some are charged to combine practical reason with a concern for the community to fashion laws that serve their fellow citizens. Through the invitation of one of our Laetare awardees, Pope Francis became the first pontiff to address a joint meeting of Congress. As our awardees stood behind the Holy Father on that historic day, he reminded the assembled legislators that theirs is the call to "the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good … the chief aim of politics." No doubt today's medalists had occasion to reflect on their long careers given to that pursuit.

Despite these noble ideals, we know that politics in a democracy is a "full contact sport" involving bruising debate, searing invective and unrelenting criticism. In a nation deeply divided on many issues legislators must, to pass laws, be cognizant of electoral pressures, constituent demands, party positions and factions, and a sometimes fickle public opinion. Gentlemen, yours has not been an easy calling.

Each of you has had legislative achievement for which we should all be grateful. Each of you, we must acknowledge, has cast votes and taken positions about which many among us have reservations — in some cases, grave moral reservations. We cannot and do not turn a blind eye to such reservations.

We award you each today the Laetare Medal not to endorse particular positions you've taken or votes you've cast, but because each of you have given your lives to serve the common good in political leadership by your own best lights, recognizing the factors that limit political possibilities at any given moment. For this purpose, despite a fractious political environment, you have each built collegial relationships with those with whom you disagree — even disagree vehemently. And in careers marked by patriotism, perseverance, hard work, courage and sometimes tragedy, you have each found strength and guidance in your faith.

Mr. Richard Notebaert, chairman of our board, will read the citation of today's award that celebrates the noble profession of political leadership and the tireless and dedicated service each of our awardees has given in it.

Citation for the 2016 Laetare Medalists, delivered by Mr. Richard Notebaert, chairman, Notre Dame Board of Trustees

Gentlemen, though each of you is a loyal and committed partisan, both of you have nevertheless preferred our common good to your individual leverage, our national integrity to your parochial advantage — you, Speaker Boehner, risking the scorn of your political fellows by striving to move beyond gridlock to constructive compromise, and you, Mister Vice President, by reminding members of your own party that those across the aisle are their opponents, but not their enemies.

In a season in which public confidence in our political institutions and leaders drops to historic lows and cynicism soars, you have both given witness to diligent and dedicated public service. Your personal and professional paths have not been easy.

You, Speaker Boehner, one of 12 children raised in southwest Ohio, began working in your family's bar at 8 years old and became the first in your family to attend college. It never came easily, as you worked as a janitor on the night shift and in other jobs to pay your way over seven arduous years to earn a business degree from Xavier University.

And, Mr. Vice President, you likewise come from a blue-collar upbringing, yours in northeast Pennsylvania. Your grace in the face of tragic personal losses — first of Neilia and Naomi and more recently of your beloved Beau — have stirred us, as has your decades-long commitment to family.

So it is neither to advance your favored causes nor to endorse your respective policies, but to celebrate two lives and careers inspired by the Catholic call to service and admirably dedicated to the alignment of our democratic institutions with the contours of the common good through honest engagement with contentious issues, vigorous debate and responsible compromise, that the University of Notre Dame confers upon you — individually and together — its highest honor, the Laetare Medal, on Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. and John Andrew Boehner.

Biden and Boehner jointly receive Laetare Medal

In recognition of their leadership, civility and dedication to our nation, the University of Notre Dame presented two Catholic officials from opposing political parties — Vice President Joe Biden and former Speaker of the House John Boehner — with its 2016 Laetare Medal, the oldest and most prestigious honor accorded to American Catholics. The award was presented at Notre Dame's 171st University Commencement Ceremony on May 15 (Sunday).

"We live in a toxic political environment where poisonous invective and partisan gamesmanship pass for political leadership," said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame's president. "Public confidence in government is at historic lows, and cynicism is high. It is a good time to remind ourselves what lives dedicated to genuine public service in politics look like. We find it in the lives of Vice President Biden and Speaker Boehner.

"While both have been loyal and committed partisans, they were leaders who put the good of the nation ahead of partisan victory, seeking through respectful dialogue honorable compromise and progress. Speaker Boehner's resistance to a simple reductionism made him suspect in his own party; Vice President Biden reminded his fellow Democrats that those in the other party are 'our opponents, not our enemies.'

"In recognizing both men, Notre Dame is not endorsing the policy positions of either, but celebrating two lives dedicated to keeping our democratic institutions working for the common good through dialogue focused on the issues and responsible compromise."

Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Delaware and his law degree from Syracuse University College of Law. At age 29 he became one of the youngest people ever elected to the U.S. Senate. Soon after his election, his wife and infant child were tragically killed in an automobile accident, yet he persevered in caring for his family as a single parent and in serving in the Senate. He represented Delaware for 36 years before his election as vice president in 2008.

In the Senate, Biden served as chairman or ranking member of the Judiciary Committee for 17 years and played an integral role in the 1994 Crime Law and the Violence Against Women Act. He also served for 12 years as chair or ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, helping to guide issues and legislation related to terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, post-Cold War Europe, the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

As the nation's 47th vice president, Biden oversaw the $840 billion stimulus package in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and leads the Ready to Work Initiative, among many other initiatives.

Boehner is from southwest Ohio, the second child in a family with 12 children and modest means. After graduating from Xavier University, he worked in business and served in the Ohio legislature. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1990, serving the 8th District of Ohio, and was re-elected 10 times.

Among House Republicans, Boehner served as conference chairman, minority leader and majority leader. He also served as chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee where he authored several reforms, including the Pension Protection Act and a school choice voucher program for low-income children in Washington, D.C.

Boehner became Speaker of the House in January 2011 and was re-elected in January 2013 and January 2015. He stepped down as speaker and resigned from Congress last fall.

The Laetare (pronounced lay-TAH-ray) Medal is so named because its recipient is announced each year in celebration of Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Lent on the Church calendar. "Laetare," the Latin word for "rejoice," is the first word in the entrance antiphon of the Mass that Sunday, which ritually anticipates the celebration of Easter. The medal bears the Latin inscription, "Magna est veritas et prevalebit" ("Truth is mighty, and it shall prevail").

Established at Notre Dame in 1883, the Laetare Medal was conceived as an American counterpart of the Golden Rose, a papal honor that antedates the 11th century. The medal has been awarded annually at Notre Dame to a Catholic "whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the Church and enriched the heritage of humanity."

Among the previous recipients of the Laetare Medal are Civil War Gen. William Rosecrans, operatic tenor John McCormack, President John F. Kennedy, Catholic Worker founder Dorothy Day, novelist Walker Percy, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, labor activist Monsignor George G. Higgins, Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil, actor Martin Sheen and jazz composer Dave Brubeck.

Retired U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2011 to 2015, delivered the principal commencement address and received an honorary degree. Other honorary degree recipients were civil rights activist Diane Nash, Notre Dame Board Chair and business leader Richard C. Notebaert, musician Arturo Sandoval, Cardinal Donald Wuerl and American Council of Learned Societies President Pauline Yu.

<img src="http://news.nd.edu/assets/198794/vatican_library_conference_300.jpg" title="Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and Archbishop Jean-Louis Brugues, archivist and librarian of the Holy Roman Church, sign a memorandum of understanding for collaboration and exchanges between the Vatican Library and Notre Dame" alt="Rev.

John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and Archbishop Jean-Louis Brugues, O.P., sign a memorandum of understanding

The University of Notre Dame and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, or Vatican Library, formalized a unique agreement of collaboration and exchange in a ceremony Monday (May 9) in the Hesburgh Room of the Morris Inn, where Notre Dame president Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and Archbishop Jean-Louis Bruguès, O.P., archivist and librarian of the Holy Roman Church, together signed a memorandum of understanding.

The only such collaboration between the Vatican Library and any American academic institution, the agreement will develop visits and informal exchanges of faculty, scholars, librarians and administrators; organize joint conferences, lecture series, art exhibitions, and musical and theatrical performances; and explore the development of joint programs of research.

In remarks preceding the signing, Father Jenkins spoke of his delight in beginning to work with his longstanding friend, Archbishop Bruguès, who had been the secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education when the two first met.

Father Jenkins and Archbishop Bruguès then exchanged gifts.

"If you ask a writer which of his works best represent him he always responds by referring to his latest publication," Archbishop Bruguès joked, presenting Father Jenkins with the latest publication of the Vatican Library, a collection of drawings by the baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and promising ("It's coming very soon!") an engraving of the Basilica of Saint Peter's that the library had presented to Pope Francis earlier this year.

Father Jenkins gave Archbishop Bruguès an engraving of Notre Dame's Main Building above a replica of the letter by which Notre Dame's founder, Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., established the Notre Dame Archives. Father Jenkins justified the considerable difference in size and scope between the two collections as due to the Vatican's having "a much earlier start." He then obliged Archbishop Bruguès' request to indicate on the engraving the windows of Father Jenkins' Main Building office.

Asked what had attracted the Vatican Library to the new collaboration, Archbishop Bruguès replied in French, through a translator, that he hoped the arrangement would enhance the presence of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in the United States and the world and reach a larger public. When he was appointed Vatican librarian, he said, he was "surprised and even a bit disillusioned" to learn that "so many treasures that are within its collection and that really belong to the whole of humanity are not available to the whole of humanity." He said he hopes to increase the number of scholars with access to the library and that "Notre Dame is the best place to start that process here in America."

The Vatican Library's holdings today include some 80,000 manuscripts; 100,000 archival documents; 1.6 million printed books, including nearly 9,000 incunabula, 150,000 prints, thousands of drawings and plates; over 200,000 photographs; and 300,000 coins and medals, among other items. The manuscript collection includes such invaluable materials as the "Codex Vaticanus" of the Bible; the "Vergilius Vaticanus," containing fragments of Virgil's Aeneid; the "Dante Urbinate"; and other manuscripts that are used to produce modern editions of countless ancient texts.

"The collaboration will obviously provide a wonderful resource for our scholars and our students," Father Jenkins said, "but at a deeper level it joins our mission to foster learning and faith with a place that is such an icon of the Church's commitment to see the harmony between the two."

The agreement is being celebrated on campus with an academic conference, The Promise of the Vatican Library; an exhibition of materials from the Vatican Library in the Snite Museum of Art; an exhibition of Vatican-related books and manuscripts held by Notre Dame's Hesburgh Libraries in the Rare Books and Special Collections room; and a concert of sacred music in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart featuring music held by the Vatican Library.

The University of Notre Dame and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, or Vatican Library, will formalize a unique agreement of collaboration and exchange in a ceremony at 12:30 p.m. May 9 (Monday) in the Hesburgh Room of the Morris Inn, where Notre Dame president Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and Archbishop Jean-Louis Bruguès, O.P., archivist and librarian of the Holy Roman Church, will sign a memorandum of understanding.

The only such collaboration between the Vatican Library and any North American academic institution, the agreement will develop visits and informal exchanges of faculty, scholars, librarians and administrators; organize joint conferences, lecture series, art exhibitions, and musical and theatrical performances; and explore the development of joint programs of research.

"All of humanity should celebrate the Vatican Library for its mission to steward and protect the riches of global culture," said Father Jenkins. "Notre Dame shares this mission as we inculcate an appreciation for the pursuit of truth in our students. In the face of forces which wish to make our horizons more narrow and sectarian, our two institutions point toward a vision which encounters God in the whole of creation. It is this affinity of mission that makes me so very glad for our collaboration and our long-term partnership into the future."

The agreement will be celebrated on campus with an academic conference jointly sponsored by the two institutions, an exhibition of materials from the Biblioteca Apostolica, and a concert of sacred music featuring music from manuscripts in the Vatican Library's holdings.

The conference, The Promise of the Vatican Library, will be held from May 8-10 in Notre Dame's McKenna Hall. Among conference speakers discussing holdings of the Vatican Library and opportunities for future research will be Archbishop Bruguès; Carmela Vircillo Franklin, professor of classical studies at Columbia University; and James Hankins, professor of history at Harvard University.

An exhibition of materials from the Vatican Library will be held May 8-22 in the Milly and Fritz Kaeser Mestrovic Studio Gallery of the Snite Museum of Art. The exhibition of manuscripts, printed books, maps and drawings will include Galileo's 1610 astronomical treatise, "Sidereus Nuncius," the first published scientific work based on observations made through a telescope; a 13th-century manuscript commentary by Albertus Magnus on Aristotle's treatise on nature, "Parva Naturalia"; and a 16th-century Mass composed by Josquin des Préz, which represents the introduction of movable type for printing music.

Materials selected from the collections of the Hesburgh Library will be featured in "Vestigia Vaticana," an exhibition of books and manuscripts from the Middle Ages through the modern era, including papal bulls and documents, papal book bindings and representations of the Vatican in print, will be held in the Hesburgh Libraries' Rare Books and Special Collections rooms May 5 through Aug. 15.

A concert of sacred music featuring music held by the Vatican Library will take place at 4 p.m. May 10 (Tuesday) in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The concert, "Penitence and Praise: A Concert of Sacred Music in Italian Libraries," will include music from des Préz's Mass as well as works by Domenico Scarlatti and Antonio Vivaldi.

The Vatican Library's holdings today include some 80,000 manuscripts; 100,000 archival documents; 1.6 million printed books, including nearly 9,000 incunabula, 150,000 prints, thousands of drawings and plates; over 200,000 photographs; and 300,000 coins and medals, among other items. The manuscript collection includes such invaluable materials as the "Codex Vaticanus" of the Bible; the "Vergilius Vaticanus," containing fragments of Virgil's Aeneid; the "Dante Urbinate"; and other manuscripts that are used to produce modern editions of countless ancient texts.

"That spirit that inspired the Vatican Library also gave rise of the first universities in 13th-century Europe and continues today at the University of Notre Dame," Father Jenkins said. "One of the distinctive goals of Notre Dame is to provide a forum where, through free inquiry and open discussion, the various lines of Catholic thought may intersect with all the forms of knowledge found in the arts, sciences, professions and every other area of human scholarship and creativity. We believe that no genuine search for truth in the human or cosmic order is alien to the life of faith. We are grateful beyond measure for the existence of the Vatican Library, which allows scholars to pursue truth by studying the treasures of civilization."

Vatican City, both the smallest sovereign state in the world and the administrative headquarters of its largest Christian Church, is also a United Nations World Heritage site. Among the series of architectural restoration projects planned or under way there, few are more significant than that of the Cortile del Belvedere, or Belvedere Courtyard, where a team of Notre Dame faculty and graduate students from the University's School of Architecture and Department of Physics have begun an unprecedented study.

A Marian procession and May crowning will take place May 1 (Sunday) at the University of Notre Dame. The procession will begin at 1pm at the Grotto of our Lady of Lourdes and end at Geddes Hall with a crowning ceremony, blessing and reception.

"Mary is the most inculturated person in the Church because she is the the mother of all people," said John Cavadini, McGrath-Cavadini Director of the Institute for Church Life at Notre Dame. "We are so happy to restore the gift of this beautiful tradition honoring Mary, the Mother of God, for whom this university was named."

A statute of Mary will be blessed at the Grotto and processed through campus accompanied by prayer and song. The procession will travel to the Coleman-Morse Center and then pass by the Main Building on the way to the Geddes Hall Chapel where Mary will be crowned and enshrined. A final blessing will be offered by Fr. Terry Ehrman, C.SC. and a reception will follow on the 3rd floor of Geddes Hall.

"Events like this nourish the Catholic imagination," said Cavadini. "A May crowning and procession is a beautiful way to participate in a devotional practice that makes the faith more accessible, and it offers an inspiring spectacle for those who want to know more."

The event is free and open to the public. Those who are planning to attend are encouraged to register at maycrowning.nd.edu. The website also contains rare footage of a Marian procession at Notre Dame in the 1950s.

In the event of rain, the event will be moved indoors to Geddes Hall Chapel. Registered participants will receive updates via email regarding the weather and other important event details.

The Institute for Church Life connects the intellectual life of the academy to the pastoral needs of the Catholic Church. Dedicated to forming faithful Catholic leaders at all levels of Church life, the institute partners with dioceses, parishes and schools to offer programming and resources in theology education, faith formation and leadership development.

 Pope Francis

Pope Francis released his apostolic exhortation "Amoris Laetitia" ("The Joy of Love") in Rome Friday morning (April 8). The document addresses such areas of Catholic Church doctrine as the admission of divorced and remarried Catholics to the sacrament of the Eucharist, same-sex relationships and cohabitation, all issues that arose, often controversially, during the Synod of Bishops in Rome last October.

Here is what some people on the Notre Dame faculty are saying and thinking about "Amoris Laetitia."

 Candida Moss

According to Candida R. Moss, professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, "In many ways the Apostolic Exhortation is a ratification of the Synods that preceded it. Grace and compassion are extended to all; the primacy of traditional marriage is reasserted; and the door is cracked for the divorced and remarried to receive communion. It is a document marked by both pragmatism and deeply felt compassion toward the lived experiences of faithful Catholics. He demonstrates exquisite sensitivity to the way that poverty, housing problems, violence, drugs, migration, arranged marriages, abandonment and persecution affect the family. Indeed, part of his rationale for pastoral sensitivity towards the divorced and remarried is his recognition that financial pressures often lead to remarriage. Francis' compassion runs out when it comes to the kinds of marital problems associated with the wealthy. No compassionate caveats are offered for those using contraception or reproductive technology. Surrogacy is denounced in scathing terms and contraception tied to greed and consumerism. For the Church, the family is the building block of society and, for Francis, the world is plagued by exploitative consumerism and self-interested individualism. He caters to the families wounded by the ills of the world and refuses to pander to the kinds of marital problems he sees as rooted in consumeristic selfishness. Again he proves that he is a developing world Pope focused on developing world Catholics."

Moss, a scholar of Biblical studies and early Christian history, writes and lectures on Biblical and early Christian literature, history and thought. She is the author of "The Other Christs: Imitating Jesus in Ancient Christian Ideologies of Martyrdom" and "Ancient Christian Martyrdom: Diverse Practices, Ideologies, and Traditions."

 Timothy O'Malley

According to Timothy O'Malley, director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy and concurrent professor of theology, "'Amoris Laetitia' offers a theologically compelling vision of marriage and family life for the Church. The major task of the Church today, as Pope Francis notes, is to provide a persuasive account of marriage and family in an era in which both are threatened by forced migration, poverty, young adults who reject institutions, and a forgetfulness of tenderness. He deals with divorce and cohabitation pastorally, building the case for a Scriptural and theological formation of conscience. It's a document that will have an influence upon the Church's theology of and pastoral practice for marriage for the next generation."

As director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy, O'Malley engages in scholarship that seeks to retrieve biblical, catechetical and liturgical insights that facilitate a renewal of the Church's liturgical imagination. He is also founding editor of the Institute for Church Life's journal, Church Life: A Journal for the New Evangelization.

Friedrich Bechina, undersecretary for the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education, speaks on Catholic higher education
 Rev. Friedrich Bechina, F.S.O., delivers the Keeley Vatican Lecture

Rev. Friedrich Bechina, F.S.O., undersecretary of the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education, gave the 2016 Keeley Vatican Lecture, titled "The Holy See's Higher Education Policy from St. John Paul II to Pope Francis," April 6 (Wednesday) in Visitation Hall of Remick Commons at the University of Notre Dame.

Father Bechina said he hoped "to share with you some of the lessons I have learned" in his 15 years of service in the Holy See under the three popes.

"The independence of the Holy See and its status as a sovereign entity gives us a set of privileges, or at least of freedoms to be active and present in the world of higher education," Father Bechina said. "As such an entity, we have our own ministry of education, and as a minister of education I can speak in international gatherings on the same grounds and with the same status as my counterparts in other countries."

Jointly responsible for more than 2,500 Catholic institutions of higher education, Father Bechina said that the congregation "can speak for our own system but we can also put ourselves in the shoes of people in countries worldwide. Like the Church herself, we are both local and universal at the same time, and these institutions comprise a sort of educational empire of which we can and should be proud."

Father Bechina spoke of a shift in Catholic higher education's discussion of academic freedom. "To be honest," he said, "for most of the last century, many people who have served in my position would have seen academic freedom as kind of a threat and its invocation a kind of attack, but it is increasingly becoming our stronghold. Academic freedom must be associated with the free choice of faith. Nobody can be obliged to believe, because faith depends on a human act of trust, and the same is true for the discovery of truth."

A native of Vienna, Father Bechina served as an officer in the Austrian army and studied economics, philosophy and theology in Vienna and later at the Gregorian Pontifical University in Rome, from which he earned a doctoral degree in 1997 for his prize-winning doctoral thesis, "The Church as the Family of God."

After years serving in parishes in Austrian Diocese of Feldkirch, Father Bechina was appointed to the Congregation for Catholic Education, and in 2013 became its undersecretary. Father Bechina has since 2005 managed the congregation's international activities in the area of higher education and represented the Holy See in relevant organizations and international initiatives.

Earlier on April 6, Father Bechina also presided and preached at Mass in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

The annual Terrence R. Keeley Vatican Lecture provides the Notre Dame community with the opportunity to interact with distinguished representatives from the Holy See and significant dioceses of Europe. Past lecturers have included Cardinal Angelo Amato, Cardinal Walter Kasper, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Archbishop Jean-Louis Bruguès, Archbishop Salvatore Fisichella and Archbishop Charles J. Brown, Apostolic nuncio to Ireland. The lecture is sponsored by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, an integral part of the new Keough School of Global Affairs.

Jenkins, C.S.C., president (right), with panelists Most Rev. Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo (left) and Scott Appleby, dean of the Keough School, before the inaugural conference "For the Planet and the Poor"

Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, spoke on the keynote panel of the For the Planet and the Poor conference Monday evening (April 4) in the Jordan Auditorium of the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business.

The conference, organized by Notre Dame's new Keough School of Global Affairs, has brought together thinkers from the worlds of development policy and practice, government, the Church and other religious bodies to discuss and reflect on the implications of Pope Francis' encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, which were approved by world leaders last September.

Bishop Sorondo said that the encyclical represented "a new approach, a new appreciation of the doctrine of the Church, regarding creation. All things are created by God and also oriented toward God, going to God."

Bishop Sorondo particularly cited the discussion in Laudato Si' of the climate as a common good "belonging to all and meant for all," and of climate change as a consequence of human activity and a threat to the poorest and most vulnerable humans. He said that "the motivation" of the encyclical is the Beatitudes, which will be "the protocol of the last judgment."

A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bishop Sorondo was ordained a priest in the Buenos Aires archdiocese in 1968 and a bishop in Rome in 2001. From 1976 to 1998 he taught the history of philosophy at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome before being appointed chancellor by Pope Saint John Paul II.

"We can say that we now have a 'magic moment,'" Bishop Sorondo said. "Because for the first time and perhaps the last time, the speech of the Church and the speech of the world as represented by the United Nations have some synergy, and for people who believe, for people like me, this comes from the Holy Spirit."

Joining Bishop Sorondo on the keynote panel were R. Scott Appleby, Marilyn Keough Dean of the Keough School of Global Affairs; A. Atiq Rahman, executive director of the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies; Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute and Quetelet Professor of Sustainable Development at Columbia University; and Sara Sievers, associate dean for policy and practice of the Keough School of Global Affairs.

 Cardinal John Onaiyekan opens the 2016 Human Dignity conference

Cardinal John Onaiyekan, archbishop of Abuja, Nigeria, gave the 2016 Human Dignity Lecture Sunday evening (April 3) in the University of Notre Dame's McKenna Hall auditorium, admonishing that even religious doctrine, when misinterpreted, can pose a threat to human dignity.

"From the religious point of view, one would have thought that all the beautiful holy injunctions of the holy books would have been sufficient to guide humanity in the right direction," Cardinal Onaiyekan said. "Unfortunately, however, the reality is often different. Human beings don't often do the right thing even if they know it. That is why many of the issues raised above which are condemned by the law of God continue to be part and parcel of our human experience. There is an insidious and negative impact of religion in this regard when people tend to put God over and against man and thereby find excuse for denying human dignity on the ground that God must be respected and worshiped.

"It is as if there is a competition between God and his human creatures for respect and dignity. How many holy wars have we not seen in history where people take up arms and claim they are fighting in the name of God? And in those so-called holy wars, human beings are destroyed. Saint Pope John Paul II has rightly observed that it is blasphemy to kill in the name of God. This is a far cry from the days when popes and men of God exhorted Christian knights to go on armed crusades, to reconquer the holy lands from 'infidels.'"

Cardinal Onaiyekan, well-known for his advocacy of peace in Nigeria and dialogue between Christians and Muslims, was created a cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012 and was that same year a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize together with Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, the Muslim Sultan of Sokoto, whom he had joined to promote numerous initiatives to combat fundamentalism in Nigeria.

"Many wars have been and are still being justified on the basis of a 'jihad' for God's sake, or on the flimsy principles of a just war," Cardinal Oaiyekan said. "Volumes have been written on the 'just war theory,' with grounds that are getting less and less tenable in the circumstances of our contemporary world. The very cautious position of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on this matter deserves every attention."

Cardinal Onaiyekan's lecture, "From Human Race to Human Family," opened a three-day interdisciplinary conference, titled "The End of Human Dignity? Recovering the Intellectual Appeal of Human Dignity for the Theological and Philosophical Imagination." The conference, sponsored by Notre Dame's Institute for Church Life, featured a range of scholars defending the concept of human dignity against recent philosophical attacks.

Rev. Friedrich Bechina, F.S.O., undersecretary of the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education, will give the 2016 Keeley Vatican Lecture, titled "The Holy See's Higher Education Policy from St. John Paul II to Pope Francis," at 5 p.m. April 6 (Wednesday) in Visitation Hall of Remick Commons at the University of Notre Dame.

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University, will introduce Father Bechina.

A native of Vienna, Father Bechina served as in officer in the Austrian army and studied economics, philosophy and theology in Vienna and later at the Gregorian Pontifical University in Rome, from which he earned a doctoral degree in 1997 for his prize-winning doctoral thesis, "The Church as the Family of God."

After years serving in parishes in Austrian Diocese of Feldkirch, Father Bechina was appointed to the Congregation for Catholic Education, and in 2013 became its undersecretary. Jointly responsible for more than 2,500 Catholic institutions of higher education, Father Bechina has since 2005 managed the congregation's international activities in the area of higher education and represented the Holy See in relevant organizations and international initiatives.

Father Bechina also will preside at Mass at 11:30 a.m. April 6 in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

The annual Terrence R. Keeley Vatican Lecture provides the Notre Dame community with the opportunity to interact with distinguished representatives from the Holy See and significant dioceses of Europe. Past lecturers have included Cardinal Angelo Amato, Cardinal Walter Kasper, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Archbishop Jean-Louis Bruguès, Archbishop Salvatore Fisichella and Archbishop Charles J. Brown, Apostolic nuncio to Ireland. The lecture is sponsored by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, an integral part of the new Keough School of Global Affairs.

 Cardinal John Onaiyekan

An interdisciplinary conference featuring a range of scholars including Cardinal John Onaiyekan, archbishop of Abuja, Nigeria, will explore the concept of human dignity against recent philosophical challenges. The conference, titled "The End of Human Dignity? Recovering the Intellectual Appeal of Human Dignity for the Theological and Philosophical Imagination," will take place April 3-5 (Sunday-Tuesday) at the University of Notre Dame.

Cardinal Onaiyekan will open the conference at 7 p.m. April 3 by delivering the 2016 Human Dignity Lecture at McKenna Hall. The conference, which is free and open to the public, will feature noted philosophers and theologians including Cyril O'Regan, Leon Kass, Gustavo Gutiérrez and David Walsh.

Philosopher Ruth Macklin has claimed that the concept of human dignity is "useless," denoting nothing more than respect of individual autonomy. Likewise, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker has called human dignity "stupid" because it curbs "the modern conception of freedom." "The End of Dignity?" aims to rebuff such claims by considering the positive contribution that a society rooted in the inherent dignity of human persons offers.

"The erosion or outright dismissal of the concept of human dignity raises foundational questions about human persons and the communities we wish to inhabit," said John Cavadini, McGrath-Cavadini Director of the Institute for Church Life. "What would society look like if the language of human dignity were eliminated from public discourse?"

The aim of the conference is to renew the discourse around the concept of human dignity by recovering its philosophical and theological foundations.

"Modern philosophies that fail to adequately deal with vulnerability and suffering obscure a conception of human dignity grounded in human encounter, the other, and the phenomenon of love," said Cavadini.

The 2016 Human Dignity Lecture and "The End of Human Dignity?" conference is sponsored by the Institute for Church Life and the Office of Human Dignity and Life Initiatives. For a full list of conference speakers and to register, visit icl.nd.edu/conferences/human-dignity-conference-2016/.

For the Planet and the Poor, the first major conference organized by the University of Notre Dame's new Keough School of Global Affairs, will open with a keynote panel, "A Surprising Convergence, a Moment of Opportunity," at 6 p.m. on April 4 (Monday) in Jordan Auditorium, Mendoza College of Business.

Keynote speakers will include Scott Appleby, Marilyn Keough Dean of the Keough School of Global Affairs; Most Rev. Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, chancellor, Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, the Holy See; A. Atiq Rahman, executive director, Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies; Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University; and Sara Sievers, Keough School Associate Dean for Policy and Practice.

The conference will continue April 5-6 (Tuesday-Wednesday) with a series of panels in the auditorium of the Hesburgh Center for International Studies. These panels will feature more than 30 speakers from the academy and the worlds of development policy and practice, government, the Church and other faith-based organizations. Speakers will address global economic development, sustainability, global health, ecology and faith, quality education, the role of universities, and global partnerships.

According to Appleby, the conference was inspired by the convergence, in 2015, of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home, with the adoption by the United Nations of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

"This is a remarkable moment in the history of global efforts to eliminate extreme poverty and preserve the natural environment," said Appleby.

"Never before have international development organizations, governments, the Church and other religious organizations been so closely aligned in a campaign to address some of the most daunting challenges facing humanity and the planet.

"This conference will bring together students and faculty with leading thinkers to reflect on the events of the previous year and chart a way forward."

For the Planet and the Poor is free and open to the public. All are welcome to attend the whole conference or individual sessions.

In keeping with Notre Dame's mission to place scholarship in service to the common good, the new Keough School of Global Affairs will prepare students for effective and ethical leadership in governments, international organizations and the private sector.

During a speech at the University of Notre Dame today (March 18), the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Kenneth Hackett addressed the nature of the Holy See's diplomatic work, and spoke about the impact of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'.

Hackett said the Pope's climate change encyclical "is a perfect example of what the Church and Holy See can offer on the world political stage in terms of highlighting key global issues and using its moral authority to effect change.

"Since the release of the encyclical, we've seen a number of major initiatives to combat climate change in the United States," he remarked.

Hackett also provided a 'Vatican 101' – demystifying the Vatican and its structure with an overview of the Holy See, explaining its role as the governing body of the Roman Catholic Church that helps to support the work of the Pope in exercising his role as Supreme Pontiff.

"Francis is changing things. His entire emphasis on mercy presents a challenge to his critics. If God is mercy then should we not accept that mercy and act in different ways in relation to each other and our common home?

"Maybe the barriers that have existed for centuries around religious beliefs, around our political ambitions, around how we see each other, should change."

The event was organized and sponsored by the Notre Dame Initiative for Global Development (NDIGD), an integral part of Notre Dame's new Keough School of Global Affairs.

 Irish Prime Minister Kenny, Father Jenkins and his mother, Helen Condon Jenkins, in Kenny's office in July 2013.

Returning from Washington, D.C., this afternoon (March 15) where he helped commemorate bipartisan American efforts to end violence in Northern Ireland, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, said that "the bipartisan spirit employed to reach peace abroad is sorely needed now on our own soil to ameliorate discord and bring common decency to our political discourse." He also commended House Republican leader Paul Ryan and President Barack Obama for the bipartisan tenor they established at the Speaker's annual Friends of Ireland luncheon today in the Rayburn Room of the House of Representatives. Father Jenkins was Ryan's guest at the luncheon.

This was Speaker Ryan's first year hosting the luncheon since it was inaugurated in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan and Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill to signify their bipartisan commitment to peace and security in Ireland. This year's luncheon included remarks by President Obama and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who made his sixth St. Patrick's Day visit to the Capitol. During a trip to Ireland in July 2013, Father Jenkins, accompanied by his mother, Helen Condon Jenkins, met with Prime Minister Kenny in his office in Dublin. Father Jenkins traces his Irish ancestry through County Cork.

Father Jenkins invited Speaker Ryan to return to the Notre Dame campus, and, among other topics, discussed NCAA basketball with President Obama.

"Our friendship with the Irish runs so deep that it dates back to before America was even a country," Speaker Ryan said. "I am honored to continue a tradition begun by Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill, and I hope to do it justice with good stories and not-so-good jokes."

Aside from the State of the Union, the Friends of Ireland luncheon is the one day each year that the speaker and the president are scheduled to be together in the Capitol. Watch coverage of the luncheon here.

Virgilio P. Elizondo, Notre Dame Professor of Pastoral and Hispanic Theology
 Rev. Virgilio P. Elizondo

Rev. Virgilio P. Elizondo, the University of Notre Dame Professor of Pastoral and Hispanic Theology, died Monday (March 14). He was 80 years old.

A member of the Notre Dame faculty since 2000, Father Elizondo was a native of San Antonio, Texas, where his Mexican immigrant parents owned a grocery store and where he himself spent many years as the pastor of San Fernando Cathedral. The Sunday Spanish Mass at which he presided was televised and carried via satellite from San Fernando Cathedral to more than 1 million households.

Before being ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of San Antonio in 1963, Father Elizondo was graduated from Saint Mary's University, where he majored in chemistry and considered applying to medical school. Deciding that he was called to the priesthood, he entered Assumption Seminary in San Antonio, largely because he wanted to stay in his hometown.

During his early years as a priest, Father Elizondo worked in parishes, but his ministry took a more scholarly turn in 1965 when Archbishop Robert E. Lucey appointed him archdiocesan director of religious education. Father Elizondo also served as Archbishop Lucey's translator and aide during the 1968 meeting of Latin American Catholic bishops at Medellin, Colombia.

Father Elizondo became prominent as an advocate for the underpaid and exploited Mexican-American laborers in his archdiocese during the early 1970s. In 1972, as an increasingly self-conscious and confident Mexican-American community began to assert itself politically and culturally, he established the Mexican-American Cultural Center at Assumption Seminary.

Extolled as a founder of U.S. Latino religious thought, Father Elizondo was hailed in Time magazine as one of the leading spiritual innovators in the United States. Yet when he shared his beliefs about the connections between religion and people, he would recall the grocery store his immigrant parents owned in San Antonio, where he spent most of his life. "I came from a neighborhood where no one thought I would make it out or amount to anything," he said. "Even as a boy, I knew I wanted to do something good for the world."

Father Elizondo's scholarship, a theological consideration of Mexican-American culture, produced numerous books, including "The Future is Mestizo," "Galilean Journey" and "The Human Quest." He received two doctoral degrees in theology from the Institut Catholique in Paris in 1978, and in 1979 he became an editor of the international theological journal Concilium. Among numerous other honors for his scholarship and ministry, he received Notre Dame's Laetare Medal in 1997.

A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 4 p.m. April 7 (Thursday) in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Notre Dame president Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., will be the presiding celebrant, and Rev. Daniel G. Groody, C.S.C., associate professor of theology and the director of immigration initiatives at the Institute for Latino Studies, will give the homily.

 Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.

In a speech Friday (March 11) at the American Chamber of Commerce in São Paulo, Brazil, University of Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., discussed the importance of Catholic education in an era of corruption and injustice, the University's vision for growth in the country and its research related to the Zika virus.

Speaking to an audience of Brazilian education, foundation and government officials, Father Jenkins reflected on the value of Catholic education, speaking specifically of integrity, solidarity and care for our common home.

Alluding to the current corruption inquiries in Brazil – including the indictment Thursday of a former president and the possible impeachment of the current head of state – Father Jenkins said: "I am an outsider, but I know that these are difficult days for the great nation of Brazil. Corruption inquiries have reached the highest levels of leadership. We all know, however, that corruption is not a uniquely Brazilian problem. From Wall Street to Beijing, from Africa to Mexico, corruption is a terrible drag on economies and the source of injustice and disintegration in society. We must educate students who, whether in business, politics or any walk of life, speak the truth and do the truth. We must educate people of integrity."

In speaking of solidarity, the Notre Dame president acknowledged the inequalities found in the United States as well as Brazil and all nations worldwide.

"I do not have solutions to offer you," he said. "Yet at Notre Dame we strive to teach our students the value of solidarity – the sense that all human beings are sisters and brothers, and we must work to lift up the lives of everyone, rich and poor, educated and illiterate. No one is beyond the scope of our concern. For at Notre Dame, we believe this: If we live lives of service to those in need, we will live more joyful lives."

In Pope Francis' recent encyclical on the environment, he urged all citizens of the world to not only preserve the natural environment, but to also make the places in which we live true homes where all can flourish and find happiness – to care for our common home.

"The challenges are immense, yet we embrace challenges at Notre Dame – that is why we are called the Fighting Irish," Father Jenkins said. "We must bring the highest levels of education, research and discussion to bear on making our common home – our world, our nations and our cities – sustainable communities where all can find a home and happiness. Notre Dame's mission, and that of our partners in Brazil, is to produce future leaders armed to resist evil, trained to excel in business, or scholarship, or public service, or whatever path they choose, and prepared always to do good in the world, especially for the least of our brethren."

Father Jenkins also brought good news to the assembly, announcing new Notre Dame initiatives in Brazil.

The University recently received funding for additional scholarship support for Brazilian students to attend Notre Dame. Thirteen first-year students from Brazil are currently enrolled at Notre Dame, but 21 have been admitted for the coming academic year.

"Although the absolute numbers are not large," Father Jenkins said, "the trajectory reflects a strengthening relationship between Brazil and Notre Dame that has arisen from the efforts of our Brazilian alumni, trustees and parents of current students, and the added staffing in Brazil that has made Notre Dame better known here."

Father Jenkins also announced that University officials are actively examining potential sites in São Paolo to establish another Notre Dame Global Gateway to join those in Jerusalem, Rome, Dublin, London and Beijing.

"Later this afternoon," Father Jenkins said, "we are going to take a look at some prime real estate that represents an important step toward establishing São Paulo as Notre Dame's first Global Gateway in the Southern Hemisphere. For too long, the United States and its best universities looked east to Europe and more recently to Asia for valued partnerships. Let me assure you, the compass at Notre Dame now points south. That orientation is critical for understanding the changing demographics of the United States. It is critical for higher education. And it is critical for the future of the Catholic Church in the United States. It is also critical in confronting economic and social issues of the Americas, South and North; and in supporting Catholic education in both hemispheres on how to come to terms with providing the great equalizer – a fine education like Notre Dame's – to rich and poor alike."

Father Jenkins also commented on Notre Dame research related to the Zika virus, which has reached pandemic proportions in Brazil. Led by the late biologist George Craig, University scientists have for decades extensively studied the female Aedes aegypti mosquito, the primary transmitter of the disease.

"While the world focused on the Zika outbreak in Brazil," Father Jenkins said, "Notre Dame researchers have found something extraordinary; something close to home; something to remind us we all share the perils of life on our small, fragile planet.

"Although the Zika-carrying mosquito is not native to North America, researchers at Notre Dame have discovered a population of the same mosquitoes in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Our team identified genetic evidence that these mosquitoes have over-wintered in Washington for at least the past four years, meaning they are adapting for persistence in a northern climate well out of their normal range. It seems that they can survive the winter, not far from the White House, by living in warm and damp subway tunnels nearby.

"I can see in the not-too-distant future researchers from São Paulo and South Bend collaborating with others from across South and North America to find ways to defeat the dreadful Zika virus. That's something the Fighting Irish should fight for."

Recalling the first words written about Brazil on May 1, 1500, by Pêro Vaz de Caminha to King Manuel of Portugal – "Que nao se pode calcular/It is incalculable" – Father Jenkins closed by saying of future partnerships between Notre Dame and Brazil: "The possibilities are incalculable."

University of Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., in an interview with Nicolás Luco, columnist for one of Latin America's leading dailies, El Mercurio of Chile, was asked about the "open gestures of dialogue" behind the selection of Vice President Joseph Biden and former Speaker John Boehner as the University's Laetare medalists.

Father Jenkins replied, in part:

"One of our great challenges today is people who disagree often will vilify, attack, demean the opposition and then they cannot work with the opposition. So we come to this impasse of acrimony of intransigence … and it doesn't serve society.

"One of the great Catholic concepts is the common good. What is the common good? What would serve everybody? You and I may disagree, or Boehner and Biden may disagree, but we have to recognize that whatever we think, we have to act for the common good.

"One thing I hope we do at the University is we try to bring our students to understand they can disagree but they need to talk to one another, reason with one another, and despite differences, they should always respect the other person and not demean.

"Unless we do that, we cannot work together, we cannot serve the common good. We are just in this gridlock of antagonism that is all too common today."

 Carter Snead meets Pope Francis in a private audience at the Vatican

Carter Snead, William P. and Hazel B. White Director of the University of Notre Dame's Center for Ethics and Culture and professor of law, has been appointed to the Pontifical Academy for Life, the pope's principal advisory group on the promotion of the consistent ethic of life in the Catholic Church.

Founded in 1994 by Saint Pope John Paul II, the academy meets annually, holds conferences, publishes reports and collaborates with partners in the Vatican Curia and worldwide.

"I am honored and humbled to serve the Holy Father and the Church as it continues its efforts to defend and bear witness to the inalienable dignity of every member of the human family, born and unborn," Snead said.

"We are thrilled Carter Snead, and, by extension, Notre Dame, has been given this opportunity to serve the Church in our efforts to build a culture of life worldwide," said University president Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.

Snead traveled to Rome in March for the academy's annual assembly, where he met Pope Francis in a private audience.

"This is a wonderful honor and a powerful example of Notre Dame's continued service to the Church both locally, nationally and at the Vatican," said Rev. William M. Lies, C.S.C., Notre Dame's vice president for mission engagement and church affairs.

The academy's 110 members are drawn from all over the world and from a wide variety of academic fields, including medicine, science, law, public policy, philosophy and theology. Snead, one of 12 Americans in the academy, is the second Notre Dame faculty member to be appointed, joining John M. Finnis, Biolchini Family Professor of Law, who was appointed in 2001.

Preparations under way for '09 season

THIBODAUX Before last season, it had been three years since a Class 5A team from the Bayou District had won a playoff game.
Then, Thibodaux won two playoff games.
One of the motivational things is about faith, Thibodaux coach Dennis Lorio said. And faith means believing in something you hadnt seen with your own eyes. Last years team did it on faith and belief in each other that we could compete with the top teams in the district and in the area, and then they made it happen.
Our motto last year was seeing is believing. We said, theres a lot of talking in Thibodaux. Well, Im not interested in all that talk. Im interested in seeing you doing something to help your team.
Many from the area got to see Thibodaux end the areas playoff-win drought, reaching the quarterfinal round of the state playoffs, before losing to Barbe.
And with area schools kicking off spring practices over the last two weeks, teams are in the early stages of working on duplicating Thibodauxs 2008 playoff success.
Assumption finished winless last season, but return seven starters on offense and eight on defense.
Anytime you can put kids on the field that have actually played before, and have experience, thats going to help your cause, coach Shawn Preston said.
Preston added that even with the returning starters, it was important to start from scratch this offseason.
We kind of almost went back to the basics, he said. Anytime you have a season like we had last year, thats what you do.
The Mustangs host Amite at 5 p.m. May 15 in their spring game.
The Trojans started last season fast but finished slow, ending with a disappointing 5-3 record and out of the playoffs.
The missed opportunity didnt dampen excitement, as coach Chad Callais said 110 players are participating in spring practices.
We have a lot of guys coming back, Callais said. Right now, we are projected to have 18 starters returning.
Some of those starters include quarterback Cobie Savoie, running back Byron Thomas and defensive back Brandon Smith, who has received a scholarship offer from Texas Tech.
Central Lafourches spring scrimmage is against Ponchatoula at 5:30 p.m. May 15 at Trojan Stadium.
H.L. Bourgeois coach Joe Riley anticipates having about 65 players at spring practices once other the sports finish their seasons.
The Braves return seven defensive starters, including defensive linemen Damien Jacobs and Pete Verret, but have just one offensive starter returning.
Jacobs has received offers from Tulsa and Tulane, and should receive more offers in the near future.
Our goals out of spring, No. 1, is to come out injury free, Riley said. And No. 2, get some of the young guys acclimated to the offense. Defensively, weve just got to polish what weve got.
H.L. Bourgeois travels to Destrehan at 5:30 p.m. May 15.
Despite finishing with one win last season, there is still reason for optimism in Galliano with 92 players participating in spring practices.
Thats an excellent number, coach Blyght Wunstell said. We are definitely making progress.
The Tarpons return eight offensive starters, including most of their offensive line, and five defensive starters.
Another returner is tight end Mark Mayberry, who has received interest from Louisiana-Lafayette and Tulane.
The strength of our team is definitely going to be on the offensive side the football, Wunstell said.
Schematically, he added, nothing is going to change on either side the ball.
The Tarpons will have an intrasquad scrimmage at 4 p.m. May 15.
The Gators started spring practices last Monday and have 109 players participating.
Offensively, they return four starters, while on defense, they return six starters.
Offensively, weve got to find quite a few kids, coach Richard Curlin said. Weve got some that we think are going to be able to fill in. Weve just got to get them worked in there this spring. But a lot of it is just taking a look at some of these younger kids.
South Terrebonne travels to Patterson for its spring game set for 5 p.m. May 15.
Terrebonne had a banner season in 2008, finishing a game away from winning the District 7-5A championship. Returning just three offensive starters and four defensive starters, the Tigers are hoping to fill those holes and build on last seasons success.
Were trying to build on what we did last season. We also have to replace a lot of our players, coach Gary Hill said. We graduated a bunch of key guys, and were trying to find the people that are going to step up and take their place.
Terrebonne currently has about 60 players participating, but with a number of those playing baseball, track and golf, Hill is focusing on teaching the basics.
Weve got a list we want to improve on, he said. Were trying to just do the little things right now. Trying to teach our kids the simple things of the offense and just get out there to where we can execute pretty well.
Terrebonne hosts Vandebilt Catholic in its spring game at Tom B. Smith Stadium at 5:30 p.m. May 15.
Last season, the Tigers were a surprise. This season, they wont sneak up on anybody.
Things are different now because weve had some success, Lorio said.
For one, the amount of players has increased, although Lorio didnt have an exact number.
The Tigers are also a known commodity now, and with the countrys 14th-rated recruit (www.rivals.com) in Trovon Reed, Thibodaux will be in the spotlight all year.
While the national attention could be a distraction, Lorio said his team is turning it into a positive.
Every one of our kids know that if they put something outstanding on film, that film is going to go to all over the college coaching circle for evaluation, Lorio said. Its very frequent that while theyre looking at one player, another player gets a lot of attention based on what they saw.
Fullback Brandon Duncan has already received interest from Georgia Tech and Minnesota.
Thibodaux will scrimmage E.D. White Catholic at 5 p.m. May 20 at Nicholls States John L. Guidry Stadium.
Ellender has 35 players in practices, with most becoming sophomores and juniors next season.
Some people may look at a team being young as a bad thing, coach Tawaskie Anderson said. Its going to help us out. Its going to pay off their senior years.
The Patriots return five starters on each side the ball, including standout running back Glenn Fitch.
Ellender will play Douglass at South Terrebonne at 6 p.m. May 13.
Vandebilt enters spring with its fourth coach in four years.
Laury Dupont takes over after a year away from coaching. Previously, Dupont was a successful coach at West St. Mary.
Its us feeling the kids out and the kids feeling out the new coaches that are coming in, Dupont said. The kids are really working hard, and I cant ask anything more from them.
The biggest loss for Vandebilt is running back Curtis Welch.
The Terriers travel to Terrebonne for their spring game.
The Cardinals return five offensive starters, mostly at the skill positions, and six defensive starters, mostly in the secondary.
Weve got about 90 total, coach Kyle Lasseigne said. Weve got a big group of freshmen that will be sophomore next year, but the kids are spread pretty evenly among the three grades.
Lasseigne said the most important thing to get out of spring is getting the younger players acclimated to the high school game.
Thats the biggest adjustment, is to make sure our young guys understand the tempo and intensity level of practice, he said.
The Wildcats, moving up to Class 3A this season, started spring with 85 players, although coach Rick Gaille expects that number to level out in the 60s by the end of spring practices.
Offensively, St. James returns four starters.
The main thing, offensively, is weve got to determine who the starting quarterback is going to be, Gaille said.
On defense, the Wildcats return five starters, including two defensive backs and two defensive linemen.
The main objective in spring is to see not only who the best players are, but to give players an opportunity to have looks at more than one position.
St. James hosts Scotlandville at 5 p.m. May 14.

To integrate or not to integrate – that was the question raised by a recent ClickZ article examining the reluctance and confusion brands and ad agencies have over publishing to multiple devices. While the piece contained some interesting insights from those struggling with this question, it didn't really dig into the core reason of why this reluctance and confusion exists.
From my perspective, there are three underlying problems that need addressing before cross-device integration becomes a mainstream trend.
Brands and agencies need one dashboard to compare all their activity across devices and platforms. Today, they buy iPad ads from one agency, online ads from another, and mobile from a third. And all report results differently enough to make it very difficult to compare the results of each channel against each other. That's a nightmare for anyone trying to apply an ROI to their strategy. So providing unified metrics that illustrate the reach of an ad buy across platforms is a must.
Given the relative nascent stage of ad creation and distribution on devices like mobile and, even more so, tablets, brands tend to deal with different groups of people with "expertise" in each vertical. Even those fortunate enough to employ one agency for all needs still deal with different people at that agency for each different channel. Couple that with the tendency for brands themselves to have people internally with a similar dispersed focus on one area or the other. This makes for a significant barrier to entry, as people familiar with mobile gravitate to mobile solutions, while those focused on tablet will gravitate to tablet strategies.
Today, there are different standards for different devices. For instance, Apple's iOS platform has a cookies policy that states one can't track a user across platforms, like you can online. That inhibits behavioral targeting. It's just one of many technical restrictions that serve more to fragment than unify the market that we hope one day will be resolved.
The common thread among all these issues is fragmentation, which creates silos of familiarity. Brands and agencies familiar with one silo will remain in their comfort zone until they can better understand both how other channels work and how they relate to their area of focus. Until these issues are fixed, brands and agencies will continue to spend their time on money primarily on the formats they understand – those familiar with TV will continue to make TV buys; those into mobile will keep on making mobile buys; and so on. People are afraid of what they don't understand. Once mobile, tablet, online, and traditional media can be accessed, measured, and deployed on a cross-platform basis, each channel will be easier to understand, and this fear will go away.
The good news is that we can expect to see dramatically greater interest in all three areas this year. I believe 2013 will be the year of cross-platform integration. Or at least the start of it (hey, each of the last 10 years was dubbed the "year of mobile" until it finally happened last year). Google's TrueView platform is a start. And I'm sure others will soon follow.

Blogs HNN WESTERN MUSLIM RELATIONS IS A ONE WAY TRAFFICAug 14, 2007 2:54 am
That is the argument forwarded by Irfan Hussain in a recent article he wrote for the Pakistani weekly, Dawn. In it he argues that Muslims demand to be treated in the West in a way they refuse to treat non Muslims in their own countries:
The truth is that for years, Muslim immigrants have been exploiting western liberal attitudes that have made it possible for them to get jobs, an education for their children and health care for their families. All this while the majority have chosen to maintain their distinctive lifestyle that westerners often find offensive. Their attitude towards women, for example, flies in the face of the same liberalism that Muslims use to spread their faith.
But now, terrorism has exposed the faultlines between the two civilisations, and an increasing number of western voices are saying enough is enough to this one-way traffic.
Unfortunately, too many Western companies such as Arla care only about their business plans. So, they publish apologies which give Muslim populations in the ME the misleading impression that they have improved Islam's image abroad in order to get a commercial reprieve. It is a shortsighted policy which is sure to backfire. Remember, do not buy Arla.

Open source 3D patches appear for Nvidia's Tegra SoC
Follows on from 2D release last year
CHIP DESIGNER Nvidia now has an open source driver for the 3D graphics engine in its Tegra system on chip (SoC) processors.
Nvidia's Tegra SoCs are already capable of running Linux based operating systems such as Google's Android but now the firm's chips have received further support. Thierry Reding, a developer at Avionic Design released a series of patches that give developers access to the Tegra gr3d engine.
Previously Nvidia had already released an open source driver for the Tegra gr2d engine, but through the work of Reding's team developers now have access to the 3D engine too.
Reding said, "This small series of patches adds support for the 3D engine found on Nvidia Tegra SoCs. It builds on top of Terje's and Arto's host1x and gr2d patches. A couple of things still need to be done before this can be merged, though."
Nvidia is slowly moving towards open sourcing its drivers but it has been a slow and for developers, a painful journey. The firm has said it will invest over a third of its annual research and development budget on Tegra and it is widely seen as the company's big hope for future revenue growth.
Open source drivers for Nvidia's Tegra SoCs will become increasingly important as the firm moves the chips towards GPGPU applications. Nvidia has already said that future versions of the Tegra 5 'Logan' chip will run CUDA code, which could make it particularly interesting as an ARM based GPGPU accelerator in servers.
Although the work of Reding's team doesn't necessarily create a usable final driver for consumers, it will allow driver developers to quickly iterate the development cycle and get to operational drivers that one day might even end up in the mainline Linux kernel. µ
