Children's Center Bowl special for Bethany, Washington players and for patients
BETHANY — As a pregnant mother, Regina Pence-Schatz dreamed of all the things her son would someday do.
Maybe he'd play football, or be in the band, or any of a million other things.
None of those dreams involved Chris Schatz being in a wheelchair, stricken with muscular dystrophy, unable to speak, much less catch a football or play a trombone.
That's why Friday night is so special — not only for Chris and Regina, but for several patients and parents from Bethany's Children's Center, as well as two high school football teams.
At 7:30 p.m. Friday, Bethany and Washington will kick off the second annual Children's Center Bowl football game, the culmination of a weeklong event unlike anything else in the state.
Chris attends Bethany High School for a couple of hours every morning, and on Friday, he'll be a part of the game, just like any other football-loving 15-year-old would want to be. He and several other patients from the Children's Center will be included in the festivities.
"You get used to your child not being involved in things like this," said Regina, who attended last year's Children's Center Bowl between Bethany and Kingfisher with her son. "But when they are, and the other children accept them and greet them like they talk to them every day, it's very touching.
"They walk through and greet Chris, and he greets them. To see them interact like that is beautiful. It's wonderful to see that they accept him for who he is. And he adores these kids, you can tell."
The emotional weight of the experience isn't lost on the players, either.
Hanging on Ryley Claborn's bedroom wall is a photo of Claborn and three other Bethany players walking out to midfield before last year's Children's Center Bowl against Kingfisher.
In the middle of the photo is Devin Campbell, last year's starting running back for the Bronchos, pushing the wheelchair of a boy named Luke, who was chosen to be a part of the pregame coin toss.
"That was the moment that really got me," Claborn said. "We realize how blessed we really are here at Bethany.
"You're out there playing, and they're watching you. They look at you like you're a hero, even though they may not be able to say anything to you. You can tell that they look up to you."
Other patients from The Children's Center will be on the field with the band at halftime, among other interactive events.
The schools did battle in Penny Wars all week to see which student body could raise the most money for The Children's Center. On Thursday night, players and cheerleaders from both teams were scheduled visit to the center and meet the patients, then compete in obstacle course events before sitting down at the same table to eat dinner together.
In many ways, it's a condensed version of what college football teams experience when they go to a bowl game.
"Last year, we were curious how our players would handle something like this," Bethany coach Reagan Roof said. "They did excellent, and it was a good experience for everyone involved, especially our players. They get to realize the problems they have, in many cases, aren't really problems at all, compared to what some kids are dealing with.
"It was good to see our kids take a second to appreciate what they have."
The importance of The Children's Center Bowl multipronged. It's a unique, valuable experience for the players and the patients, but it's also vital to the center itself.
The Children's Center is a nonprofit pediatric hospital for children with complex medical and physical disabilities. Though Medicaid reimbursements cover much of the center's operating costs, they depend on donations to purchase all of the equipment and other necessities for therapy and medical care, all the way down to clothes and school supplies.
For instance, The Children's Center spends roughly $5,000 a week on baby formula and nearly twice that on diapers.
The center has other fundraisers throughout the year, such as the Holiday Baby Basics gift drive, and last month's Spin Your Wheels noncompetitive bicycle tour, which raised more than $64,000.
Bethany's football booster club approached The Children's Center about the idea in the summer of 2010, and it quickly took off. Now, the Bronchos hope to make it an annual fundraising event.
"We have a good booster club, and our kids benefit from new uniforms and an indoor practice facility and a lot of things that kids at other 3A teams don't get to see," booster club president Tim Hooper said. "So we came up with the idea of having something sort of like a bowl game and raising money that wasn't for us."
In the inaugural Children's Center Bowl last year, Bethany and Kingfisher raised almost $7,200. The goal for this week's fundraising efforts was $10,000, and they'll find out at halftime of the football game if the schools reached that mark.
But the value of the experience is about more than money.
"We have a ton of respect for those kids and what they're going through," Bethany's Collin Coffee said. "They have such a great attitude. Some of them go to school at Bethany, so we get to see them around occasionally. Seeing the look in their eyes when we hang out with them is awesome.
"We feel very fortunate to be able to help them out. It really hits home when you realize how expensive it is for all that treatment and everything they need throughout the year."
The motives of The Children's Center hit close to home for Washington coach Brad Beller as well.
"When my grandfather was 9 years old, he had to go to The Children's Center," Beller said. "He probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. He personally donates money to them every year, and he's really excited that we're a part of this."
Beller toured The Children's Center in the summer and can't wait for his players to experience it.
"It's amazing how good those kids' attitudes were," Beller said. "They have really tough lives, but they don't get down, and I think that's great for our kids to see — that you just have to stay after it and keep fighting."
Words like that only go to prove how valuable an event like The Children's Center Bowl can be — for everyone involved.
"Chris doesn't speak, but uses his eyes to communicate, and his smile says everything," Regina said. "He was so excited to be a part of this, and interact with the kids and watch the game.
"When you first find out your son has these problems, you're hurt, because you know he won't be able to enjoy the things you enjoyed growing up. This provided an opportunity for Chris to be a part of something I always dreamed he'd be a part of.
"It touches my heart."

Group makes a splash rafting Green River canyons in Utah
Family spends 3 days soaring through Dinosaur National Monument
VERNAL, Utah From our rocky perch above the ominously named Disaster Falls cascade on the Green River, we watched as a trio of Adrift rafts maneuvered downstream. The first one slid through the rapid untouched, the oarsman deftly guiding his boat around boils, reversals and big rocks in the stream. But the second raft guide took a line a bit too far to the right and hit a hole, tipped sideways and dumped three passengers unceremoniously into the drink. The last boat followed the same route and this time the results — at least from our vantage point — were even more entertaining.
The raft buckled as it slammed into the frothy reversal, shooting the guide — who was perched at the rear of the boat — into the air like a slippery watermelon seed squirted from between two fingers. He landed on the edge of his raft, bounced into the water and was soon joined by several others who tumbled in after him. Fortunately, calm water stretched below the rapid, and the swimmers were soon picked up to continue their journey.
So it goes, sometimes, when you raft the Green River through the Gates of Lodore on the Colorado/Utah border. Located in Dinosaur National Monument, this trip also features cathedral-like canyons with deep red and even rainbow-striped colors, ancient petroglyphs, delicious meals, relaxed family time, bighorn sheep and camping under the stars.
My group of 20 rafters — plus five Don Hatch River Expeditions guides — hiked back to our six rafts and entered Disaster Falls one by one. (Founder "Bus" Hatch began running the Green in the 1920s and helped get the river added to the monument.) There was plenty of bouncing and splashing, but our trip through this rapid was uneventful and smooth with no swimmers. But from my vantage point in my hard-shell Jackson white-water kayak, which I dubbed the "green bean" because of its vegetable color, it was easy to see how the earlier paddlers could have misjudged the rapid and hit the big reversal. It was nearly invisible from river level.
Famed explorer John Wesley Powell probably would have sympathized with the Adirft rafters. In 1869, this one-armed Civil War veteran led a group of nine men in four boats into the canyon. Calamity struck when he lost a supply-filled vessel called the "No Name" in this same rapid — which he dubbed Disaster Falls.
His trip lasted three months and included the first descent of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Writing in his journal, he said the canyons had "wonderful features — carved walls, royal arches, glens, alcove gulches, mounds and monuments."
Powell named the northern end of the Green River in the Monument the Gates of Lodore because the gaping canyon and its rapids reminded him of a poem by English poet Robert Southey about a waterfall called the Cataracts of Lodore in England.
The waterfall, he wrote, "plunges along, striking and raging, as if a war raging, rising and leaping, sinking and creeping, swelling and sweeping, showering and springing, flying and flinging, writhing and ringing, eddying and whisking ... dizzying and deafening the ear with its sound."
Our trip lasted only three days, but the adventure was a delightful break from our normal routines. In addition to exciting Class III (moderate) rapids that made the river ideal for families with children, there were plenty of mellow stretches for gazing at the amazing rocks, which rose 1,500 feet above us in many places.
Because we were deep in a canyon, we were blissfully free of the Internet and the curse of connectivity. Which meant that the kids (seven from ages 7 to 16) quickly dropped their desire to do mind-numbing electronic games or check their Instagram or Twitter accounts. Instead, they played in the sand and created structures with sticks, mud and stones.

Mark Antony
Read by Nicholas Farrell
Though he was Greek, Plutarch wrote his Lives in the first century, a world dominated by the Roman Empire. Plutarch's series of biographies was the first of its kind, as much groundbreaking in conception as the Histories of Herodotus. Plutarch looked at the great men in the Ancient World and told their stories, in many cases drawing on sources which are no longer available to us. They offer a unique insight into the characters as well as the achievements of men who influenced their age and the empires that their culture dominated. Here he considers some of the major figures that had left their stamp on the history of Rome, including generals, rulers, philosophers and politicians. It is the companion volume to Greek Lives, also read with style by Nicholas Farrell on Naxos AudioBooks.

Reisen nach§Kleinasien, Alexandria und Rom unterbrachen seine beschauliche Gelehrtenexistenz in der Provinz. Er war ein äußerst produktiver Schriftsteller, der neben den berühmten Biographien Schriften populärphilosophischen Inhalts und zu Fragen des alltäglichen Lebens verfasste.

Russia: Dangerous Climate for Human Rights Work
|Human Rights Watch
|Publication Date
|4 October 2012
|Cite as
|Human Rights Watch, Russia: Dangerous Climate for Human Rights Work, 4 October 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/506e90af2.html [accessed 1 June 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The hostile climate in Russia for human rights work is worsening, Human Rights Watch said today. At a time when legislative amendments impose new restrictions on civil society and the Russian government is seeking to marginalize human rights groups, a senior Human Rights Watch researcher has received a series of text messages making direct and implicit threats to her.
Earlier this week, Human Rights Watch reported these threats sent to the mobile phone of Tanya Lokshina, senior Russia researcher, and urged Russian authorities to launch a prompt and comprehensive investigation and to hold those responsible accountable.
"These depraved threats are clearly designed to make people think twice about doing human rights work," said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. "It's essential for the authorities to conduct a serious investigation and to foster an environment that is safe for human rights work."
The texts, which were sent between two and five times per day from September 28 to 30, 2012, made reference to Lokshina's pregnancy and many other personal details. The senders of the messages also made a crude attempt to falsely link Lokshina to Islamic insurgents. One message read, "[We] are waiting for the birth of your child for him to join our fight for freedom, so help us Allah."
Lokshina has been a prominent figure of Russia's human rights movement for some 10 years, serving as director of the Moscow Helsinki Group and the human rights think-tank Demos before joining Human Rights Watch in 2008. While Lokshina works on a wide range of issues, she is widely known as one of the country's leading experts on human rights in Russia's troubled North Caucasus region. Most of the nine messages referred to Lokshina's pregnancy and implied that both she and her unborn child would come to harm in the near future. The authors claimed they were "nearby" coming after her and predicted an "uneasy 'birth.'"
The messages contained direct and implicit threats by referring to very personal details about Lokshina's movements and those of relatives, details of her pregnancy, and her unlisted home address.
The fact that the threats included this confidential information known only to Lokshina and a very small circle of friends suggests it was obtained through surveillance, with the possible involvement of law enforcement and security officials.
"These threats are serious and were obviously made to obstruct Human Rights Watch's work," said Roth. "We have filed a complaint with the authorities because we believe ultimately the authors threaten Lokshina with violence."
In recent years, several prominent Russian journalists and activists exposing impunity for human rights abuses in the North Caucasus suffered harassment and violent attacks; several of them were killed. All the victims of violent attacks and murders are known to have received threatening text messages, including close to the time of the violence.
The threats also came amid a broad crackdown on Russia's civil society since the return of President Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin. Laws rammed through the Duma in the summer imposed new restrictions on public assemblies, re-criminalized libel, and imposed new restrictions on internet content. A law adopted in July forces nongovernmental organizations that engage in "political work" and accept foreign funding to register as "foreign agents." On September 21 the Duma approved in first reading a law that, if adopted, would expand the definition of "treason" in ways that could criminalize international human rights advocacy.
Against this backdrop, government statements that criticize nongovernmental organizations and foreigners are on the rise.
"The climate for human rights advocacy in Russia is as bad as we've seen in 20 years," said Roth. "Russia's international partners should make clear that the surest route to pariah status is to reinstate the bleak human rights environment of the Soviet era. They should urge Russia to end the crackdown on human rights advocates and instead promote an environment that is safe and supportive of human rights work."

Better than bombs
Dear Editor,
Regarding Mr Perry's thoughtful letter ('Not social integration' SN, March 1) re my recent column on ethnic separation here, I had explicitly stated the "need to address it with every fibre of our being," so for him to say that my response can be paraphrased "as no big deal" is puzzling. The examples cited in the column evidence urgently the global span of this cancer in mankind.
Secondly, while I agree that the Caribbean's reaction of "some measure of accommodation rather than outright rejection of the other" is not, as Mr Perry put it, "social integration," I would contend that it is better than bombs and rockets and beheadings.
Yours faithfully,
Dave Martins

The question of whether teachers and other school staff should carry guns at school became a nationwide debate topic in recent weeks.
And in local communities, parents have brought up the idea in meetings about school security, school board members have discussed the concept and school officials have talked over the what-if scenarios with local police.
But school superintendents say they would want to keep guns out of their schools, except when carried by police or security officers.
The idea of arming teachers has been discussed across the nation since the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., and while the idea has been talked about locally, administrators don't want to try it.
"I just think having, encouraging guns to be at school is not something I think is a wise decision," said Clark-Pleasant interim Superintendent Becky Courtney-Knight.
Indiana law allows school faculty or staff members to carry a weapon if they are designated as a security officer by the school corporation, which could allow schools to permit anyone to carry a firearm.
And some schools have discussed that idea since the shooting in December that killed 20 children.
School administrators at Clark-Pleasant discussed the topic with Whiteland police, and the group decided that the idea had flaws, Courtney-Knight said.
She was worried students could overpower a teacher and take the weapon. And, if police were called to the school, she wouldn't want officers to enter a building not knowing how many guns were inside or who potentially was carrying them.
The wide range of what-if scenarios that could come from allowing guns in schools also was a sticking point for Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson schools. Superintendent Matt Prusiecki said the idea was discussed with school board members but is not being seriously considered.
"It's hard to prepare for all the different scenarios, whatever measures you take, if you have the best intentions in mind. Some scenarios could cause adverse effects," he said.
Instead, school districts will continue to rely on local police and school security officers to protect students.
At Center Grove, the school district has its own police force, with officers who carry guns. And at Franklin schools, local police visit the school buildings, and the school district also has school resource officers, or off-duty police officers who also carry guns.
Other school districts, including Clark-Pleasant and Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson, are looking into whether they could add security officers.
For Clark-Pleasant, one issue is the cost. Courtney-Knight estimated equipment and training for one officer could cost as much as $500,000.
Community members brought up arming teachers at both school safety forums hosted by Franklin schools. But the idea was quashed by administrators because school officials felt there was no way the school could ensure teachers or staff would have the right amount of training.
Implementing such a plan wouldn't be as simple as telling teachers they could bring a pistol to class, said Bill Doty, Franklin schools director of operations.
"The level of training required is something that we would just not be able to administer at the school level. If you talk about the amount of training a police officer goes through, we could just not match that," Doty said.
Franklin relies on armed resource officers and local police that visit their buildings to provide security, and those are the only people authorized to carry weapons in the buildings.
The idea of arming teachers wasn't talked about as an option for Center Grove, which recently decided to add a third police officer. Center Grove police officers carry the same equipment that any other officers would, including a handgun, Assistant Superintendent Bill Long said.
"We have no intention of discussing that. We have our own police department, and we feel pretty confident in that," Long said.
The additional officer already was in Center Grove's plans, but officials decided to hire the person sooner after the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. Once the third officer is added, Center Grove will be able to station one officer full time at the high school, with the other two available to cover the middle and elementary schools.

Woman accused of hit-and-run on truckFebruary 15,2014Woman accused
of hit-and-run
BENNINGTON A North Bennington woman was charged Monday with a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage, after police said they cited her Jan. 24 because the man driving the truck she allegedly hit called police and stayed on the phone with them until they caught up to her.
Liza LaFountain, 43, of North Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to the charge. She was released without bail.
In an affidavit, police said they got a call Jan 24 around 8:35 a.m. from a man who said his truck had been hit by a van while he was driving in North Bennington. The man said the crash took place near the intersection of Main and Bank streets after the woman driving the van went through a stop sign without stopping and hit his truck.
The man said the woman driving the van didnt stop so he followed her. He stayed on the phone with police until they were able to stop her.
LaFountain told police she felt a bump but didnt know what it was. She said she hadnt stopped because she was taking her son, who was in the van with her, to school.
Police said LaFountain, who has no criminal record in Vermont, also told them the crash took place in a challenging spot for her because the sun was in her eyes and frost was partially obscuring the windshield.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A noted New York lawyer and Ponzi scheme victim of Bernie Madoff has signed on to help victims of New Mexico swindler Doug Vaughan.
Helen Davis Chaitman has been retained by a group of Vaughan victims to fight a flurry of so-called claw-back lawsuits that seek to recapture some of the $75 million lost by 600 investors around the country.
More than 100 suits had been filed by the end of last week as a Wednesday deadline for filing claw-backs in the case nears. While many of the lawsuits are against big money investors and accused insiders who made huge profits over the years, others go after much smaller investors and net losers.
The suits claim the victims knew or should have known the rates of return were unrealistically high.

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel issued an upbeat message on Afghanistan's future Saturday as he visited Kabul in the final weeks of NATO's 13-year war against the Taliban.
Hagel said Afghanistan had "come a long way" over the past decade and that a newly-elected government and its army were ready to take charge of security as the bulk of the international force departs by the end of the month.
"As difficult, as challenging, as long as this has been -- by any definition, the country of Afghanistan, the people of Afghanistan are far better off today than they were 13 years ago," Hagel told reporters on his plane.
"They have the ability to decide their own fate, their own way, on their terms. They're not completely there yet. But they've come a long way," he said.
The advances had come as a result of the "blood and treasure" spent by American, allied and Afghan troops, he added.
Hagel, who is shortly to step down from office, will meet with President Ashraf Ghani as well as senior US commanders and some US troops who are still deployed in the country.
NATO's combat mission ends on December 31, and will be replaced by a US-led support mission of about 12,500 soldiers who will train and assist the Afghan security forces, as well as undertake counter-terrorism operations.
About 130,000 NATO troops were fighting in Afghanistan in 2010 at the peak of the foreign intervention, after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.
- Progress at risk? -
Concern is growing for national stability as the US military presence declines, with the Afghan army and police enduring record casualties in battle this year and following a series of high-profile Taliban attacks in Kabul.
President Barack Obama on Friday named Ashton Carter, a technocrat and academic with long experience working in the Pentagon, to replace Hagel as defense secretary.
Hagel, who took office in February 2013, resigned last month, rejecting accounts that he was forced out and saying it was a mutual agreement with the president.
After a prolonged crisis over a fraud-mired election, President Ghani came to power in Afghanistan in September after signing a power-sharing deal with his poll rival Abdullah Abdullah.
Ghani this week attended a donor conference in London, stressing he would "do things differently" from his predecessor Hamid Karzai, who had troubled ties with Western countries.
"This transition from combat to non-combat is most welcome," he said of the NATO mission change.
Ghani, a former World Bank economist, also stressed his commitment to a peace process with insurgents, saying he believed that the withdrawal of foreign troops would "change the dynamic and the narrative" in Afghanistan.
Karzai, president from 2001-2014, opened preliminary contacts with the Taliban but they collapsed acrimoniously last year.
The "national unity government" has struggled with negotiations over government positions, with no new ministers named more than two months after Ghani's inauguration in late September.
Insurgents have targeted foreign guest houses, embassy vehicles, US troops, Afghan army buses and a female member of parliament in Kabul in recent weeks.
They also launched a four-day attack on a major military base in the southern province of Helmand that was only handed over by NATO a month ago.
Afghan soldiers and police have suffered soaring casualties, with more than 4,600 killed in the first 10 months of this year.
Hagel, who is on his last trip to Afghanistan, recalled that he first travelled to the country as a senator with a small delegation in January 2002, shortly after the US invasion that toppled the Taliban.

I think Greek stocks will be interesting to watch going forward as Greece and other Eurozone members deal with their sovereign debt issues. $ATG (Greece General Shares) broke below 2000 and 2009 support and the next support level is between 865-900 (in 1996-1997). Watch it trade in its new channel up against downtrend resistance. There is also a Dow Jones Greece Index ($GRDOW) which looks similar. I'd like to see that above 2003 resistance.
Unfortunately there isn't an ETF trading in the U.S, but I found out there is one on the Xetra Exchange quoted in Euros (Lyxor ETF MSCI Greece - see chart #3). Are there option chains online anywhere I can watch on this ETF, or others.

Pli? Wand Creativity Kit is rated out of 5 by 34.
Rated 4 out of 5 by CEScott from It's good stuff. I got this a few months ago, when it was included with the monthly Maven box, and I'm glad I got the add-ons, otherwise I probably wouldn't really use it. I only have two complaints about these products. Complaint 1: When I took them out of their containers, they were dusty/dirty, which I can understand if the products are coming from a factory and hanging out in a warehouse. It wasn't a big deal, I just cleaned them off. Complaint 2: The bristles to my thin line drawer brush (for lack of better terms that I can think or right now) are starting to splay, after just a few uses.

Rated 2 out of 5 by GJUT from Dot your I's but wont cross your T's Dotting tool works great, I just need a steadier hand. My striping tool is fraying, and will not produce a decent clean line at all. I'm really disappointed int he quality of it and worry that like many have said, it will "melt" when I go to clean it to use a different color.
Date published: 2014-06-04
Rated 3 out of 5 by Karen from Good dots, poor stripes - make your own! I'm reasonably artistic, so I thought I could have some fun with this tool kit. The dot tool works well once you get a little practice with it (having a consistent amount of polish on the dot is crucial) but the striping tool is just plain poorly constructed. Out of the box, before even the first use, it lost two hairs. Unless you're totally in love with the plié set, do yourself a favor and buy a 99 cent pack of brushes at the craft store and cut your own - a sharp angle (like a sephora #12) makes great lines and you can use the other end of the brush for dots, or cut a small round brush flat.

Rated 3 out of 5 by shutterblog from Don't get messy or you'll ruin the caps I love my Plié Wand and wanted this kit to go with it. The striping brush is "ok" and makes a decent enough line. The actual fibers of the brush can be hard to clean but it's manageable. The dotting tool should come in two sizes as most others do - but it does not. The worst feature, however, is the plastic the materials they are made with. I always use a non-acetone polish remover to clean my brushes, and even with Julep's "gentle" conditioning polish remover, it ate the finishes on my caps. I only had them exposed to the remover long enough to wipe off excess polish that had dripped, but that was enough. Two of my caps (striping tool and precision brush) became so gummy I ended up tossing them. I'll buy replacements. You would think for a product dealing with nail polish, they could have designed them to be at least somewhat remover-safe - especially when non-acetone polishes are being used.

.- At midday today, in Rome, the Holy See released a brief statement regarding the reappearance of Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo in Washington, D. C. yesterday.
The Holy See said that it has not yet received, "precise information concerning the aim of the journey to the United States of America by Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo."
CNA reported last night that Milingo, the erratic, retired Zambian archbishop who drew massive attention in 2001 has appeared in Washington, D.C. and reportedly revealed that he is reestablishing contact with the Korean acupuncturist who he illicitly wedded in a ceremony of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon sect.
"Maria," the Milingo said, "is still my wife and will remain so until death."
According to the Washington Times, the Stallings event at which Milingo was speaking, was to announce Milingo's newly formed "ministry" to persuade the Roman Catholic Church to allow priests to marry.
Milingo claims that his goal, apparently by means of public reemergence in disobedience to Rome and reaffirmation of his sectarian marriage, is to make a stand to awaken awareness in the Catholic Church for the need to bring married priests back into the ministry. "I feel it is time for the church to reconcile with married priests," Milingo said.
The report said that Milingo was surrounded by several married former priests, and disguised his attack on the ancient discipline of the Catholic Church with words of reconciliation. "To our beloved mother church, we beseech you to open your arms to these prodigal children who have longed to return home and have so much to offer," he said. "There is no more important healing than the reconciliation of 150,000 married priests."
Milingo's words yesterday are contrary to those he spoke in 2001 when he admitted that his marriage was not recognized by the Church, "and out of respect and love for the Holy Father," he "honored the pontiff's request to return to his healing ministry in Rome."
The Vatican official who was successful in bringing about Milingo's repentance, renunciation of his "marriage," and return to the Church in 2001 was Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. Last week, Pope Benedict XVI promoted Bertone to the role of Secretary of State.
Milingo, who's emotional stability has been in the spotlight since his ascent to the episcopacy, served as Archbishop of the diocese of Lusaka through the 70's and early 80's and became well known for his charismatic healing services. He retired as Archbishop of Lusaka at the age of 53. He turned 76 earlier this month.

Running back Julius Jones got it going early. He carried seven times in the first quarter for 40 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown on Seattle's second series that gave the Seahawks a 7-0 lead.
Forget the season opener. This is what general manager Tim Ruskell had in mind when he made so many changes to the Seahawks running game in the summer.
Julius Jones, the new running back from Dallas, became the first Seahawk to gain at least 100 rushing yards since Shaun Alexander in the third week of the 2007 season.
T.J. Duckett, the new short-yardage specialist from Detroit, scored on a 1-yard touchdown run and converted a critical third-down-1 situation in limited action.
And Mike Wahle, the new guard from Carolina, paired nicely with All-Pro left tackle Walter Jones and battered the left side of the San Francisco 49ers defensive line.

The end result: 169 rushing yards.
It was more than the Seahawks gained in any game last season. And the timing was perfect. On a day when two more receivers fell to injuries, the Seahawks leaned heavily on Jones, who might have been the hero if Seattle hadn't lost 33-30 in overtime at Qwest Field.
"Any time you lose, it doesn't matter what you do individually," said Jones, who carried 26 times for 127 yards in place of injured starter Maurice Morris. "You can fight hard and lose at the end like that, it's tough to swallow. Obviously, we have some more work to do.
"The run game worked really well today, and that was a positive thing for the running backs and the offensive line. We kind of got into a groove and it felt good."
Jones got it going early. He carried seven times in the first quarter for 40 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown on Seattle's second series that gave the Seahawks a 7-0 lead. Initially, Jones was stopped for what appeared a short gain before finding an opening on the left side and sprinting to the end zone.
By halftime, he had 72 yards rushing. After the third quarter, it was 107, which topped the team's rushing total of 85 in last Sunday's 34-10 defeat at Buffalo.
"What I liked is he kept getting stronger and didn't look like he was getting tired," said guard Floyd Womack. "He did a good job for us. That's why we brought him in. It's just one game. We miss Mo, but he did a great job."
Several Seahawks spoke about Jones' hard-running style, which may have been a veiled swipe at Alexander, who was often criticized for being tackled too easily last season.
"That's what [Ruskell] was looking for in the offseason," center Chris Spencer said. "We got a lot of new guys. New backs, new guard and it was just a matter of time before we get things established. We got that thing going and now we need to just keep it going."
Jones was the workhorse, which limited opportunities for Leonard Weaver (five carries, 27 yards) and Duckett (two carries, three yards). Jones pounded the 49ers in the middle, spun past would-be tacklers and ran roughshod on the edge.
This is what the Dallas Cowboys never understood. Starting football games didn't matter to Jones as much as being involved in the game plan. He craved carries. As a rookie, he showed the promise of a superstar before injuries and Marion Barber forced him into a platoon system.
It remains to be seen whether Jones will continue to carry a heavy burden of the running load; Morris (sprained knee) may return for the Oct. 5 game.
For now, Jones is concentrating on keeping the offense afloat long enough for the receivers to get healthy and revitalize a passing game that accumulated 182 yards on Sunday.
"I don't know what the deal is with the receivers with the injuries," Jones said. "I know we had two guys go down and I'm not sure how long they are going to be down. It is just another opportunity for somebody else to step up. It's just a chance for somebody to step up and make a name for themselves."
For now, Jones has restored his good name.

First Turns
Developing Your Capital
Policies and Technology
Getting a good start makes or breaks a game of Civilization 5. Here's a step-by-step prospectus on the first 100 turns that can be used for almost any game you play.
First Turns
Found your Capital wherever you spawn, and start building a Worker.
Use your supplemental Warrior as a scout. Don't use auto-exploration. Seek out nearby Ruins and loot them for the advances or bonuses they offer.
There will likely be a Barbarian encampment near your Capital. Move into advantageous position, crush it, heal up and move on.
If you're fortunate you'll meet a City-State or two in the first few turns. They provide you with decent gifts of Gold. You may also find a Natural Wonder, improving Happiness.
Don't stray more than eight Tiles away from your Capital until you have at least 200 Gold in reserve. If a Barbarian shows up you could lose your Worker or Improvements. Once you have 200 Gold feel free to range farther, as you can use the Gold to buy a Warrior if a Barbarian approaches.
Destroy any Barbarian encampments as soon as you can. They become a real headache if you ignore them.
After you finish your first Worker, set him to creating a Mine, Plantation, Pasture, Trading Post, Camp or Quarry. After completing one of these, build a Farm or two, then create any available Improvements around Resources.
Next, build a Settler. He'll stifle your Capital's growth for a few turns but in the long run you'll grow bigger by founding a second City quickly.
After the Settler is built, send it to the nearest suitable location, found a City, and build a Worker there. If you have cash on hand, buy the Worker and build a Monument followed by a Settler. If you don't have the money, build the Worker, then build a Settler and then construct the Monument.
Use the new Worker to Improve the area around the second City, and then to build a Road back to the Capital, forging a trade route.
Send the new Settler out to found a third City, and start the newest City on a Worker. After your second City finishes a Monument, build a Granary there.
Developing Your Capital
Meanwhile, in your Capital, purchase or build a Monument and a Granary. Purchase or build another Military Unit, and then start on a Wonder. Stonehenge, the Oracle, Hanging Gardens, Great Library or the Pyramids are good choices. Then build a Lighthouse or Water Mill if you can.
Develop the area around your Capital with constant Improvements. Build lots of Farms to grow your population, and develop land around Resources with the appropriate Improvements to generate Happiness.
By this point your roving Warriors should have found enough City-States that there is at least one Barbarian-clearing mission available. Send out the troops and start working on gaining Influence.
If you've been handling your Happiness properly, you'll hit a Golden Age somewhere between turn 60 and 85.
Around Turn 100, it's a good idea to start work on two new Military Units. Things tend to get bloody at about this point in the Civilization 5.
Policies and Technology
Your first Social Policy should be Honor unless you are pursuing a Cultural Victory, in which case you should choose Tradition.
In most Civilization 5 games, by Turn 100 you should have unlocked Honor, Tradition, Piety and another Social Policy of your choice.
When choosing your first Technology, take a close look at the land surrounding your Capital.
- Are Resources adjacent to your Capital obscured by Forest, Marshes or Jungle? If so, you should discover Mining first so that you can clear them. Otherwise...
- ...if nearby Resources include Gold, Silver, or Gems, choose Mining. If there is Marble nearby or you need to drain a Marsh, follow Mining up with Masonry. If there is Jungle that you must clear to get at a Resource, follow Masonry with Bronze Working.
- ...if there are Furs or Ivory nearby, choose Animal Husbandry and then Trapping.
- ...if the nearby Resources are anything else, choose Pottery and then Calendar.
Don't move into the Classical Era until you have Mining, Animal Husbandry, Pottery, Calendar, Masonry, Trapping, Bronze Working, Archery, Writing, Sailing and the Wheel.
After these, develop these Classical Era Technologies:
- Mathematics
- Philosophy
- Iron Working
- Horseback Riding
By Turn 100 you should have these 15 Technologies unlocked.
Your explorers will likely encounter several other Civilizations and City-States throughout the first 100 Turns. It's usually best to play nice until you have the measure of your foes, though if you find yourself in close geographic proximity to a weak City, don't be afraid to churn out some Units and attack.
If you do conquer another City Early, make it a Puppet until you develop Mathematics, then annex it and build a Courthouse there.
Make City-State missions a priority throughout the first 100 Turns. Building Influence with Maritime and Cultural states is particularly important in the early game, as these provide Food, which helps your Cities grow, and the scarce commodity of Culture. Friendly City-States also share their nearby Resources once they develop them.
After meeting a City-State's mission requirements, it's often a good idea to bribe them with Gold to increase the longevity of your Influence with them, especially if they're providing something you really want.
Other civilizations are pretty useless Diplomatically until after turn 50 when they start making Luxuries available for trade. Unless you're set on war, try to build Pacts of Cooperation and trade for any goods you can't generate yourself. After developing Philosophy, start making as many Research Agreements as you can afford.
By Turn 100 you should have:
- Three Cities, at least two of which are connected by a Road
- A minimum of two competitive Military Units experienced in conflict with Barbarians, and at least 2 more in Production or ready to be purchased
- A Wonder
- 15-16 Technologies
- 3-4 Policies
- Improvements ringing your Cities
- A completed Golden Age under your belt

A reversal of position is called an inversion. If a bookstore's employees join together to purchase the store, there's an inversion of power: the employees become owners, and the former owners are their employees.
Reversing the normal order of words in a sentence is also an inversion, especially if the verb comes before the subject. This inversion happens naturally in questions like "Are you happy?" but in statements it can sound a bit like Yoda from "Star Wars" — "Happy are you." In weather terms, an inversion occurs when the air temperature near the ground is colder than the upper air temperature.
Primary Meanings of inversion
the act of turning inside out
the layer of air near the earth is cooler than an overlying layer
Full Definitions of inversion
n the act of turning inside out
n the reversal of the normal order of words
- Synonyms:
- anastrophe
- Type of:
rhetorical device
a use of language that creates a literary effect (but often without regard for literal significance)
n a chemical process in which the direction of optical rotation of a substance is reversed from dextrorotatory to levorotary or vice versa
- Type of:
chemical action, chemical change, chemical process
(chemistry) any process determined by the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved
n abnormal condition in which an organ is turned inward or inside out (as when the upper part of the uterus is pulled into the cervical canal after childbirth)
- Type of:
abnormalcy, abnormality
an abnormal physical condition resulting from defective genes or developmental deficiencies
n (genetics) a kind of mutation in which the order of the genes in a section of a chromosome is reversed
- Type of:
chromosomal mutation, genetic mutation, mutation
(genetics) any event that changes genetic structure; any alteration in the inherited nucleic acid sequence of the genotype of an organism
n (counterpoint) a variation of a melody or part in which ascending intervals are replaced by descending intervals and vice versa
- Type of:

n a term formerly used to mean taking on the gender role of the opposite sex
- Synonyms:

Commissions 1500 watchers! Update.Journal Entry: Thu Jun 30, 2011, 4:25 PM
Hello guys:

This last month I have recovered a lot from my wrist and lately I've been drawing a lot of fan art so I've decided to take again some commissions. If you are interested please read carefully this journal entry under the pink "commissions!" banner.
Past may was my birthday and I had a lot of cool presents from my family and friends. A friend gave me Resident Evil Zero for Wii and I love it! I think I'm at the end of the game and I think it's fun but a little bit difficult.
This week I saw all the E3 conferences and to tell you the true I'm really disappointed with Nintendo. I don't like WiiU and I don't like what they showed for Nintendo 3DS. Also I'm a little bit upset cause my friends don't understand why I don't like this new Nintendo stuff and I'm feeling like a mouse in front of a lot of cats XD.

text: I liked Blitz Brigade at launch, but now it's just not that fun having to constantly be repairing non-golden guns. ShadowGun Deadzone is still a favorite of mine and one of tp the very rare times when I actually bought some premeuim currency. The gameplay is great, and I completly agree with sweetdiss about loving the cover mechanic. Another thing to not, iirc Shadowgun DZ took up much less space, like a gigabyte less.
